Okay so most characters made up by SP i find to be missing something. either plot wise, character development, or their abilities are just ridiculous. However there have been a few which have been pretty good in my book. For example Gennou from part one i found enjoyable with his tragic past yet strong and smart abilities that never allowed him to really lose. I also liked Kigiri, Nurari, Gozu, and Rinji from the Three tails arc. Kigiri just had a very cool look to him and his smoke abilities which were anti-tracking/anti-sensory type is pretty cool. It is also much more alon the lines of ninja like abilities instead of op abilities we see at that point and later in the series. Nurari's appearance was kind of creepy and a little to over the top but he kind of seemed like a prototype for Orochimaru which is where he found the right degree to modify his body to stretch. He also seems to be where all the work on Suigetsu went transferring a number of his abilities to him. Gozu was like wise a character who was experimented on to find the secrets of the Akimichi and his dynamic with Guren was sweet. Rinji was a cool looking character aside from the moobs and his complete defiance of Kabuto was refreshing. His connection with bats and sound techniques made him feel like a sound ninja while Kigiri and Nurari could be Kiri nin. With how Orochimaru absconds with people from around the world this seems very fitting. Lastly I like team Shira, Team Ameno, and team Ajisai. I like that Shira shows another country has a strong taijutsu user. It is not like other countries have not heard of Guy. So it makes sense that they would do something to compete. With Sen it was nice to see Genjutsu after so long not being done by a doujutsu. Yome's design was a little weird since she looks five but the mechanics of her sensory ability are cool. Team Ameno is very well balanced with Koji up for short-range, Ameno for mid-range and healing, and Shishio there for long-range and escape with his invisibility. Team Ajisai is Ame's Team Kurenai and perfectly suited for the task they were given. I think that if these teams made it to the finals they would have been very interesting to watch. One of the biggest(though there was a few) disappointments of the new chunin exams was that we finally get to see a real grass team and they are the most ridiculous thing possible.
