.....Speaking of the Nara Clan, I think Shikamaru's summon should have been a giant deer. With maybe huge antlers.

I disagree with the bat idea, at least in Neji and Hinata's cases, some sort of majestic bird would fit them better (Peacock and Stork specifically). In the anime there actually were two who used bats, Tonbee for summons and Rinji for techniques.

Shikamaru with a deer summon is quite a good idea and fits his clan, and name, perfectly.

Then someone in Team Asuma preferably Ino should have gotten some kind of big animal summon like giant boars or rhinos. This way they'd have something to guard Ino when she used her jutsu and then cast more Shadows for Shikimaru to use. It would have also given Ino more offense and utility.

I don't know why but I keep imagining Tenten using a squid, same ability to use tools and more arms => more tools in play. it would fit her figthing style and also give her some more versatility, using an actual technique for a change.

I couldn't agree more on Ino, girl never showed any skill in offence at all so a summon to make up for it would be perfect.
