Tenten
It occurs to me that Tenten would not be popular with the other kunoichi, what with having the 'number one bishonen boytoy' of two successive classes in her team. I could see Sasuke falling for her under those circumstances, but what does occur to me is that she does seem to be a little hung on Neji. So comparing the dynamic of the team to that of Team 7, Neji is Sasuke, Tenten is Sakura and Sasuke is Naruto, although cooler. I could see serious rivalry between Neji and Sasuke.
Sakura
When the plot-bunny first started bouncing around my head I filled out the teams by having Sasuke and Hinata pass at the same time as Naruto, Lee et al. Sasuke for more or less the reasons suggested above, Hinata because she got sucked into the Lee-Naruto friendship and was the natural person to complete their team. This left Sakura teamed with Kiba and Shino when they graduated. Rikou is funnier though.
Team Gai[/i]
I did do some thinking about the spandex suits (and I agree, were it not for Jiraiya, naruto would have gladly worn Gai's gift). What I came up with was Naruto wearing a sleeveless version under his orange jacket and the girl on the team wearing hers with the legs cropped above the knees and a dress not unlike Ino's.
The other queston would be what sort of test of teamwork would Gai pose to his team - the bell test is a sort of tradition for Kakashi because he went through it under Yondaime, Yondaime went through it under Jiraiya and Jiraya went through it under Sarutobi - but would Gai use the same test or something more... enthusias
