... sweet kami, I just about died laughing reading this just now. Team Gai: The Youthful Hurricane of the Leaf! And Nathan, that was pretty much exactly how I saw Hinata responding, though only after imagining slamming Maito Rikou (I like the name, too) into the ground like a railroad spike with a megaton mallet and dismissing it as far too undignified. Basically, replace the 'How cool!" in Gai's camplaints when Kakashi shows him up with "How elegant!" for Rikou. I wonder, would Neji be pleased or angry if his main-house cousin asked him for extra help learning their family style... because you know Hiashi would just say something cold about already giving her all the time he can spare, or some bull like that.
I'd move this to the top of my writing queue, but I just can't do Gai-level enthusiasm for extended periods.
On costumes - I think a green bodyglove for Naruto, but darker than Gai and Lee, and with a vest version of his normal orange jacket... if not green, then a dark orange suit and still the jacket/vest.
The Handsome Green Beast, Maito Guy!
The Beautiful Pink (something, 'Beast' seems a bit much for a kunoichi), Maito Rikou!
The Blazing Orange Fire, Uzumaki Naruto!
The Proud Grean Beast, Rock Lee!
TEAM EXPLOSIVE YOUTH IS READY!What, you think Samuel L. Jackson isn't going to survive the zombie apocalypse?
SERVO: Loook *deeeeply* into my eyes... Tell me, what do you see?
CROW: (hypnotized) A twisted man who wants to inflict his pain upon others.
