Favourite rookie (12) member?

[Crimson Sky]

Ok, I KNOW it's theoretically the rookie nine, and that Sai shouldn't ACTUALLY be there, but hey.

[hyugagenius256]

Neji is definately my favourite, though u could have probably guessed that. smile-big

[SamRH]

Definately Shikamaru. He's awesome. :love

[halfhearted]

Out of all the poll options, my favorite is pretty easily Shino.

There's just something compelling about him despite how little information we've been given compared to the others. His obvious ability, his concern for and loyalty to those in his class, his petty need to be included, his relative pacifism (preferring to only injure his opponent as much as is necessary), and his kikai abilities all serve to intrigue me. Plus, his character design and seiyuu are both intensely cool and attractive. ^^

Basically, all of that and much much more forces me to love Shino more than any of the others, despite the fact that they tend to trump him in character development ten-fold. :iria

[Rios]

Sasuke is my pick :noworry .

[sori]

Hinata, then Sasuke and Neji.

[Princess Hina]

Sasuke........ :wtf

[sarun uchiha]

Sasuke!:sasuseal

[Kaijuu]

Shino. He's awesome and he reminds me of me; rather quiet and antisocial, likes things most people don't--i.e., bugs--and wears concealing clothes. Also what halfhearted said ^^

[Mean Kitty]

SASUKE, OF COURSE! If I could pick my 2nd and 3rd:

Shikimaru
and
Kiba

[Franklin Stein]

rock lee for all time lol he owns hard

[Lilali]

Neji :wtf

[Euraj]

Naruto. Really haven't been that impressed with the others since Part Two started aside from Sasuke and Shikamaru, and their atttitudes kind of get on my nerves.

[Creator]

Chouji. :wtf

[dodgekfc]

i have three that are my favourite
naruto/rocklee/shikamaru

[Amethyst Grave]

Shikamaru-kun


...Then Shino, Lee, Kiba.
I love Shino, he's just wordlessly awesome.

[Tay]

Always been Naruto.

[Yondaime The Yellow Flash]

Uzumaki Naruto:narsengan

[megi~♥]

naruto-kun :wtf

[Spazzy]

Too easy. Sakura easily takes it. :wink

[Khyle]

Hyuuga Neji rulz

I prefer Gaara though, but he's from the Sand

[Kyuubi_Naruto3]

Naruto hes the best of the rookie 9

[IOWW the Iasc]

Shikamaru.:whoo

[anzu_mazaki]

Sakura, easily. But I like the others too, especially Shikamaru and Sai (I feel bad for him because everyone else seems to hate him. :().

[Masurao]

Neji and Hinata are my favorite of the Rookie 12

[sarun uchiha]

Sakura, easily. But I like the others too, especially Shikamaru and Sai (I feel bad for him because everyone else seems to hate him. :().

I don't think so!
I'm sure you will find sizable support for Shikamaru in here and if haven't joined Shikamaru FC, you will find fellow Shikamaru fans there!

And I don't hate him either!

[Fleecy]

Tough, tough choice. My top five are: Sakura, Neji, Sai, Naruto, and Sasuke.

[Sasuke_Fan]

SASUKE!!!!

He's the only one I give a damn about. :sasuke

[Cirus]

I say my favorite is Rock Lee.

[Yakushi Kabuto]

I kind of want to say Sai even though he doesn't really count. If not him...surprisingly I think my answer will have to be Chouji. It use to be Shikamaru. But anyway, I choose Chouji because of his friendship with Shikamaru and how Chouji stays who he is no matter what people say. He's a sweet kid who's quick to anger but cares deeply about his friends. X3

[Hannibal]

I favor the knuckle head ninja, our main source of comedy. Without Naruto, it would be all too serious.

[MikageHanashi]

I love Sakura. She's my favorite since I like her techniques and all that stuff.:P:amuse

[KakU Camui]

SASUKE

:chinpo

[Potchi]

Sakura :harley

[maStneliS]

Shino!! I like his fighting technique and his characteristics:)

[PlayStation]

Naruto...

because his name is the anime's title :awesome

[Dattebayo-chan]

I vote Naruto, because he is my favorite character . . . :love

However, favorite character aside, I would probably say Kiba, Shikamaru, Shino, or Chouji. My problem is that I like pretty much all of them, except for Ino, Neji, perhaps Sai as well, and Sasuke, so I'll settle for Naruto instead . . . :P

[Spiral of Fate]

I voted for Shikamaru since I am really impressed by his intelligence!

[Cæk]

Shika by far. Gotta love the guys brains

[Rosina88]

Naruto! Though I used to prefer Neji in the past

[Crimson Sky]

Quite a diverse range we've got going on here. I'm surprised Kiba doesn't have more votes.

I chose Naruto myself.

[_Kimimaro_]

Hinata has always made my heart soar with her obvious beauty and honest persona. She has such an underestimated power within her that is held back by insecurities and those who would see her fall to the way side defeated. I beg to differ and look forward to seeing her power well forth in all it's glory as she affirms her greatest love........Naruto.

[Fabulous]

Naruto have been always my favorite.

[Seany]

Definatley the Sauce.

[Mang-Kun]

Uzumaki Naruto, definitely :nod. *vote*

Kunoichi? That will be Hinata :iria.

[azn_fan_gurl]

I voted Ino because she doesn't get any damn love! :cry

In order, it would probably be something like: Sasuke, Ino, Naruto, Lee, Ten-Ten, Neji, Hinata, Shikamaru, Sai, Chouji, Kiba, and Shino.

Someone's not on my favorite list at all.

[Sasori-puppet#66]

Ino. :amuse

[Zapdos]

Sakura :love

[ArAshI-sensei]

Shikamaru after the time-skip.

[No Shit]

Lee XD. And Neji.

[Blackpretzel]

Rock Lee just fuckin' rocks ass :nod

[Pink Sun]

Sakura. Because pink hair tops it all.
(and I don't think that Sai is a rookie)

[Blackskull]

hinata was probaly my fav but i like her better now

[Yellow]

Naruto. I'm a sucker for blonde hair and blue eyes.

[♥Akako♥]

Naruto, Rocklee, and Hinata

[Sasuke_Bateman]

Uchiha Sasuke

[momolade]

sakura, followed closely by ino

[Lovux The Great]

Lee, no contest. Heck, if it wasn't for him already being married to another NF user, Lovux'd definitely propose to him. He makes Lovux cry and laugh and shake of excitement. He is sweet and has a big, golden heart in the right place. He is brave and not afraid of confronting things he has no clue about how to deal with. He has his limits, but yet he's pushing them and refuses to let himself down. He knows what pain is like, what a torture loneliness and not being acknowleged is, how it is to always be the one evryone overlooks and never takes seriously.
But yet he stand firmly, always ready to protect the people he care for and what he believes in. Ahe will never, ever think of giving up.

To put it short, he is a human. And what a human he is. Rock Lee, Lovux loves you. She truly, truly does.

[Ema Skye]

Lee and Tenten

[blueava21]

Naruto. :amuse

[Jude]

SASUKE HE IS THE BESTEST!

[Watchman]

Ack... I like so many... :( However, I would have to say my favourite is: Aburame Shino.

Shino always stood out to me as the real stoic ninja amongst the Rookie 12 - even Sasuke and Neji have been led into dangerous situations by their feelings, but Shino never has. For having so little screentime, he has impressed me greatly, and his overall secrecy has an appeal to me, the same way as Yakushi Kabuto's.

[CyberSwarmKing]

Shino :)

He is the opposite of Naruto - quiet, smart and emotionless.

And as many other people already said - he is the only true ninja.

[Balalaika]

Out of those options, Neji.

[Keme]

From the list, my favorite member is certainly Neji.

[iDrum]

Naruto. I didn't start reading the manga for the side characters, so if they weren't in there, it wouldn't really bother me. If you just had Naruto kicking a unch of peoples' asses, that would be fine by me.

[Soi Fon]

Rookie 12? Gai's team members aren't rookies...

But since you're including them I can't vote. I can't choose a favorite out of them.

[reject28]

100 % shikamaru...deres has hardly been a part where he hasn't impressed me

[Ida]

Mine is Shino. I also like Shikamaru.

[Anbu-Rouge]

Shikamaru and Shino are my favorites

[Xana]

Tenten :LOS

My favorite is actually Sai, even though he's not one of the twelve. Can't believe he's got only one vote. While Tenten is also awesome, I only voted for her because I thought she would be the one with the least votes :D:

[Kyasurin Yakuto]

Either Sakura or Ino.

[sakurakunoichi]

Sakura is the best

[Elle]

Naruto... and yeah Sai isn't a 'rookie' XD....

[Zelkova]

Uchiha Sasuke... :sag

[RyRyMini]

Ino is my favorite.

[Mat®icha]

Sasuke.
surprise.

[Kumanri]

Neji. He's a character that took a better turn in the story. From the emo he was initially, he became dependable and strong. The only sad part is his timeskip performance. It's still quite bleh.

[kentucky fried chidori]

Sakura, Shikamaru and neji. All of them. At the same time.

[kire]

Sasuke.
surprise.

Same here:wOOt
Sasuke was always at the top for me

[Franklin Stein]

it has to be lee and neji

[Sasori-puppet#14]

who is the best

:narutokyu
:shino
:neji
:Hinata
:sasuke
:shannaro

I say neji or naruto

[aemyth]

Voted Lee :)

But I think others are great too..

[Levithian]

Best could mean many things, overall Hinata, as a fighter Kyuubi Naruto, as a ordinary Ninja Neji.

[Sasori-puppet#14]

it means anything

[Scorp A Derp]

Pein dlkjshls

[Dattebayo-chan]

Well, Naruto is my favorite character, but it feels wrong to vote for him just for that. I think I'm going with Shikamaru on this one. He showed more than anyone how a true Chuunin should act and so on, very impressive . . . :amuse

[Gary]

naruto ftw then rock lee

[Shinismex♥]

Naruto, Lee, Neji & Shika.

[maximilyan]

voted for my hommie naruto :amuse

[Sasuke]

Uchiha Sasuke, obviously.

[Sasori-puppet#14]

voted for neji

[Revy]

Sasuke>>>all.

[Gaara of the Sand]

Neji FTW!!!!

[azn_fan_gurl]

Gonna vote Ino because I know no one did. :(

[Creator]

They are all pretty good. I cant decide. :oh

[Kyouya Ootori]

Rock Lee :wtf

[FoxSpirit]

Another favorite thread :facepalm

Naruto will always be my choice.

[Vangelis]

Naruto will always be the best.

[Princess Hina]

Hmm... I pick Sasuke

[Reina_Miyamoto]

naruto and chouji are my favorites

[Pixie]

Naruto. :iria

[Lone Gunman]

In Strength: Lee, Sasuke, Neji, Naruto, Chouji

In Smarts: Neji, Sakura, Shino, Shikamaru, Sasuke

In Looks: They are all good-looking in their own way.

In Cool: Naruto, Sakura, Hinata, Lee, Chouji, Shikamaru, Shino

[milhaus007]

TenTen FTW :nuts

[Denji]

My personal favorite is Naruto, with Neji and Hinata tied for a close second.

[Kage]

umm...how vague :oh

i'll go with rock lee. he overcame a lot ^^ so did a lot of other people but oh well.

[Ema Skye]

Rock Lee is my favorite out of the 12

[Blooming Cosmo]

Tenten. :wtf

[Hyuzumaki-Girl]

Neji! He was the only one to become a jounin after the timeskip, he's strong and very smart. :love For a second place i would vote for Naruto or Sasuke for their strenght or Shikamaru for his smartness. :)

[Jetstorm]

Sasuke. :swtf

[blueava21]

Naruto, although they're all great to me. :amuse

[Riptos]

Of the Younger Konoha ninja's I have always said Sasuke is the best one and that hasnt changed now.

*Man I see what some of the older members say about topics like these, a new one pops up every couple of days lol*

[Kusogitsune]

I sez Sakura, because I can. So there.

[kenichikyle11]

Well, Naruto is my favorite character, but it feels wrong to vote for him just for that. I think I'm going with Shikamaru on this one. He showed more than anyone how a true Chuunin should act and so on, very impressive . . . :amuse

i fully agree. i was hype when he..uhmm.

disabled hidan. lol

[keitorin]

Naruto, of course.:zaru

But seriously, I like all of them for different reasons and I don't think there is one "best" person out of them.:nod

[cloudsymph]

shikamaru is my pick.

[Arcueid]

I've said it before and I'll say it again for like the thousandth time, my favorite from the Konoha 11 or whatever is Naruto. I love his caring attitude and undying determination to prove that he's an excellent ninja as well as his contant pledge to protect all the people he loves.

[The Moor of Venice]

Sakura! :wtf

[Jeff]

At the time of the Chunnin Exams, I would say Lee, Naruto, or Sasuke. Naruto is just overwhelming right now, so I'd pick him.

[Sasori-puppet#14]

naruto is winning
:nuts:nuts
:clap:clap
:narsengan
:narutokyu
:naru2

I'd have to say Rock Lee... That kid cracks me up.

[Mar Azul]

Naruto :ohpek

[Kirigakure no Seiryu]

For me, it´s a three-way tie between Hinata, Neji and Rock lee. On second thought I guess I like Hinata the most, but Neji and Rock Lee come a very close second.

[Kuran Tii]

Rock Lee...i like hiom a lot :amuse

[Sarutobi Asuma]

Shino. Why Shino? Because I love the way he questions himself.
Why do I love the way he questions himself? Because it's

[Clouds Envy]

I'd pick Shikamaru, he's just like me, except for the leader part.

What, you've got an IQ of above 200? :P

[Koroshi]

Well maybe not 200, I think it was 196 if I'm not mistaken. though it has been declining.

[Clouds Envy]

Well maybe not 200, I think it was 196 if I'm not mistaken. though it has been declining.

Yay! Hinata is the favorite of the girls.

[Killer Zylos Wolf]

Out of all the poll options, my favorite is pretty easily Shino.

There's just something compelling about him despite how little information we've been given compared to the others. His obvious ability, his concern for and loyalty to those in his class, his petty need to be included, his relative pacifism (preferring to only injure his opponent as much as is necessary), and his kikai abilities all serve to intrigue me. Plus, his character design and seiyuu are both intensely cool and attractive. ^^

Basically, all of that and much much more forces me to love Shino more than any of the others, despite the fact that they tend to trump him in character development ten-fold. :iria
