Hi, I’m so proud of you - I certainly don’t have the wherewithal to read the whole Naruto saga. It’s good to see the Springtime of OC Youth burn bright!

As for clothing, I suggest finding Naruto characters that you really like the designs of and study their clothing. They tend to be a mix of traditional japanese clothing and athleisure wear, combined with the traditional naruto sandals, forehead protector and flak vest for some. Cover some bare skin with bandages or fish net. Remember the clothing is influenced by the personality and the background of your character - Sasuke wouldn’t be caught dead wearing Lee’s jumpsuit, and Hinata could never bring herself to wear Ino’s revealing outfits.

I would suggest not putting too many details in. Keep the themes and designs simple, layer them up, and think ‘what would a 30 year old Japanese man dress teenagers in in the late 1990s’ and go from there 👍

Oh no, all aboard the guilt train. We have abandoned our followers for a bit - I keep forgetting this blog exists, I gotta say, but I try to pop in now and then. 

But I assure you there are individual tumblr users who are always very active in the Naruto OC fandom (although I feel like Boruto did maybe kill a big bit of it) and there’s always @naruto-oc-critiques if we’re not around. They’ve done a spectacular job of keeping up to date :3

I haven’t read it, but it’s great to see the OC love being spread by users :))

Hi, good question.

I think there are different combinations for different teams. Similar to what you are suggesting, I think there are three different types of Genin team usually:

1) Specialism focussed

An example of this is Team Kurenai, where the genin are paired up specifically to make a good tracking team - with Shino’s kikaichuu, Hinata’s byakugan and Kiba’s/Akamaru’s sense of smell, they can track anyone anywhere.

Other specialisations might be infiltration (so genin who show talent with impersonations, disguises, interrogation, adaptive planning etc), or assassination (talents include sniping, poisonings, quick speed, ability to pass by unnoticed etc), or hard hitters (focusses include taijutsu, distractions, tanking etc).

2) Balanced

This is one you were suggesting, where the talents are varied and fit to each other. Team Gai would be a good example - Lee gets in close with taijutsu, Tenten covers from afar with her weapons barrages, and Neji is a good defender with his 64-palm techniques and 360-byakugan vision.

Team Kakashi would be a good example too. Sakura is the tank in this case, but also doubles as medical backup. Sai provides the long range backup with his ink techniques, and Naruto is a mid range attacker who can confuse and fight the enemy with his army of clones.

3) Tradition

This one’s almost a subcategory of balanced. These teams were established as good pairings years ago and have passed the arrangement down through the generations. Like InoShikaChou - they found that their techniques compliment each other, despite both Nara and Yamanaka being long range techniques, and the Akimichi techniques only working so well until they backfire on the user, leaving the other two unprotected. 

Gaara’s team/Sand Siblings would also be an example of this. While it wasn’t passed down, the team isn’t based on how well they work together, but that they’re the Kazekage’s children. Technically all three are long range fighters.

Hope that makes some sort of sense, and helps somewhat.

Hi, I’m afraid you’ll have to be more specific in the characters and the OC’s personality. Do you mean, pairing one in the past and one in the future? Creating a love triangle? Or polyamoury?
