What Affinity would you Give to the Konoha 12?
So imagine Kishimoto changed the format for Part 2 slightly. Each notable Shinobi would be given an main elemental affinity. Something each can excel in and even develop your known techniques to their next level. Note can only be one affinity per person unless they have a bloodline that gives them dual affinity.
What elemental affinity would you give each of the Konoha 12?
Here is mine.
Naruto: Wind; Keeping it wind. Would have given him fire but I think wind suits him fine. Would work great if he can mix it with his MSC to make it faster shadow clones.
Sakura: Earth; was thinking water but I think Earth suits her better. This way she can pummel the ground and create earthquakes.
Sasuke: Lightning; again keeping it same, since at least lightning makes him unique for an Uchiha. Plus I been always a fan of the of chain trapper Sasuke and chain lightning would be cool.
Kiba: Earth; give the mutt some ground to run on. Maybe he becomes a tunnel dog?
Hinata: Lightning; I debated between water and lightning. The idea of her giving you some shock with her gentle fist stuck around.
Shino: Earth; Bugman needs earth to store extra insects plus the possibility of inspects he can use becomes limitless.
Chouji: Earth; I debated between earth and wind, finished with Earth as it would give him the best attributes to make his meat ball more effective.
Ino: Water; I wanted to go with Earth because of her name, but that wouldn't help with her mind technique, thought about wind due to her blonde hair but settled with water. If she controls minds what great way to manipulate more if she can use your body's water and an additional control mechanism.
Shikamaru: Fire; would work great with his Kage Mane since he can now light a fire during the night to give him the necessary shadow.
Neji: Wind; really wanted to go water. But Kishimoto gave him Wind so let's keep with that plus it helps his Kaiten more.
Tenten: Water; she reminded me how cool it would look if she could conjure out weapons made of water as an alternative to regular weapons.
Lee: none; keeping with the theme that he can't use ninjutsu and therefore elementals. I would just give him a cross to Yang chakra boost instead. If he could use though I think fire or wind would have been nice.
What's yours?
