Hello everyone!

As a sort of...sanity project, I've been thinking about making a children's book with the Naruto characters in it. I'll post it page by page on DeviantArt and here if you guys are interested.

But, here lies the problem: I need to make the characters animals. Drawing chibis all the time is fine with me, but I need a challange. I always do human figures and I need to deviate from my norm. Could you guys help me come up with animals for each character?

I mean, other than the obvious:

Naruto-Fox
Sasuke-?
Sakura-?
Kakashi-Dog
Neji-?
Lee-?
Tenten-Panda?
Gai-?!?!
Kiba-Dog...again?
Hinata-?
Shino-A beetle maybe?
Kurenai-?
Shikamaru-A sloth?
Choji-Pig?
Ino-?
Asuma-?
Garra-Racoon?
Temari-?
Kankuro-?
Jiraiya-?
Iruka-?
Tsunade-?

I would greatly appreciate the help!

I'd make Kakashi a wolf instead, so you won't get 2 dogs. Sasuke can be a parrot, because of his hair XD Or a pine marten, because they are related to weasels.. Hinata as a quiet mouse, Sakura a cat, Lee a monkey.
I don't know for the others..

Iruka- dolphin

Kankuro- crow

Lee- Bunny rabbit (don't ask)

And Ino-Shika-Cho is "boar-deer-butterfly", if you must know...

Neji- black panther. Yumm <3
Lee- a super fast turtle xD Seriously, that's the first thing that came to mind.
Hinata- a small singing bird?
Shikamaru- sloth!! xD
Ino- cat
Asuma- gorilla? >.>
Garra- racoon, yes yes! *gigglefit*
Temari- her fan makes me think of a butterfly...
Kankuro- bat
Jiraiya- lion

I hope a few of them will be to your liking. ^^ I'm not at my best. *sleep-deprived* X.x

Sasuke's a cat. At least, he's constantly compared to one (the 'young lion', the 'stalking cat', the 'suffering lion', or something like that, etc.) in interviews and in the databook.

Hehe, it's because everyone likes cats. Sakura's difficult to place, she's a flower, not an animal. I'm all for SasuSaku, though, so you could make them both cats and I wouldn't mind one bit. *coughs* Maybe different species of kitty? Sasuke as a lion amuses me.

Sasuke - feline of some sort
Kakashi - Wolf
Neji - a bird of some sort -- to go with that Hyuuga symbolism
Hinata - also a bird of some sort
Asuma - Monkey (Sarutobi means monkey, I believe)
Gaara - Tanuki
Shikamaru - Deer
Chouji - Butterfly (his name means butterfly)
Ino - Pig (her name means pig)
Kankurou - someone said Crow, that's good one of his scrolls/puppets reads 'crow' I think... :X
Jiraiya - Frog, of course
Tsunade - Slug, of course

I'm at a loss for Lee, Gai, Kurenai, and Temari. Temari summons a kamaitachi, or sickle weasel, but weasel is already claimed by the unpresent Itachi. Lee's a lotus flower, which also doesn't help. Good luck!

Sasuke: Chicken/Cockatoo/some form of bird like that (the hair...oh yes...XD)
Jiraiya: Hedgehog/Porcupine

Mmmm...'s'all I can think of now.

Sasuke as a cat! They fit the 'mysterious creature of the night' image, and besides, all emo kids love cats. =P

Hinata = bunny
Lee = lightning fast turtle (Gai can summon turtles, yeah?)
Kurenai = panther (she's a Genjustsu user, so the panther fits the image)

I agree with the Ino-Shika-Cho = Pig-Deer-Butterfly bit. ;)

I agree with the Gai as a giant turtle (super fast neh?)

Lee....Newt? I dunno

I can't wait to see you post this all up!

lol, this has been an inside joke for a long time now. because "itachi" is Japanese for weasel. :P that's why you see all these fanarts where Sasuke is looking or nurturing a weasel, etc.

Chouji - butterfly (or so the fanon goes)

Lee- turtle

Gai - ninja turtle

Neji - Polar bear? (because Tenten is a panda bear?)

Sasuke - mushroom [link (http://community.livejournal.com/chuunin/1758868.html)] :3

If you want the 'traditional' stereotypes:

Ino- Pig
Iruka- Dolphin

Hinata- Mouse (temperment)
Kurenai- Cobra (genjutsu specialist)
Asuma- Bear (he's fuzzy)
