DISCLAIMER: I do not own Naruto, any characters affiliated, or any of the animal mentioned.
So now we imagine if they all were animals...
Naruto would (naturally) be a fox. And a foxy fox at that...I DID NOT JUST SAY THAT! ...Yeah, since he has the Kyuubi in him, it's hard to imagine him as anything else. But if he weren't a fox, he'd be a puppy. He's hyperactive, cute (c'mon, he's got blonde hair and baby blue eyes!), knows how to get through to people, and is determined to be the center of attention! And by center of attention, I mean he doesn't want to be ignored!
Sakura is a flower. Because that's what 'Sakura' means: 'cherry blossom'. ...wait, a flower isn't an animal. Stupid Sakura...I mean...(shifty eyes). She would be a horse. Why? Ok, horses are a little bit shy at first (which Sakura used to be), but once they get to know you, they'll knock you down with their insane strength if you do something stupid (She gets insanely strong when she grows up. Trust me.). But horses, after all that, like helping people. And Sakura does too.
Sasuke is a wolf! A very attractive silver and black-furred wolf with blue highlights. And a lone wolf, at that. A wolf with major attacking and pwnage skills that tends to stay alone. ...And he's a gay wolf...whoops, did I say that out loud?
Kakashi would be a wolf too. But sexier, cooler, more skilled, not gay, and on all counts better than Sasuke. Or a snake. Because snakes are sexy...ish. Just a really sexy animal. A sexy beast! Hah! I crack myself up...
I see Shino as a praying mantis. A bug, but a dangerous bug at that, who pretty much lords over all the other bugs. A bug with no emotions (that we can see), who has serious killing skills. Now, how can we get a giant praying mantis that will eat the lone wolf?
Hinata would be cute...and shy...A BUNNY! Hinata, you are now a bunny with white eyes. Wait, but Hinata's going to be really strong when she grows up...SHE'LL BE BUNNICULA! Hinata, you are now Bunnicula.
Kiba is a dog. End of story. Bye-bye, see you later.
Kurenai would be a birdie. A pretty birdie. Why? Because I say so, that's why.
Shikamaru is definitely a cat-ish type of person. He sleeps all day, and if he didn't have someone to order him around, he'd never get anything done. Ever notice that when cats do something that you tell them to do, they act as if it was no big deal? That's Shikamaru! And cats are actually pretty clever.
Ino is a boar! 'Ino' means 'boar'! AHAHAHAHA!...eheh...hah...heh...eh...Ok, not that funny. Honestly, I see her more as a butterfly.
Chouji is a butterfly! 'Chou' means 'butterfly'! AHAH-...ok, I'll quit while I'm ahead. I'd say a pig, but that just sounds mean. So I'll say he'd be a boar instead. Chouji, Ino, switch names.
Ok, technically I should be saying Shikamaru is a deer, since 'shika' means 'deer', and deer run from trouble. But still. I like the cat better.
Asuma would be a birdie. Because he used brass knuckles with the 'swallow technique' or something. Aw...he and Kurenai are lovebirds...aw...so cute...
Gaara is a badger! Badgers like attacking things. Makes sense, no? His demon is supposed to be something with dark eyes, or something...Ok, could someone tell me if it's a badger or a panda or a raccoon, or whatever?
Temari is a cat! She summons cats, she's a cool cat (ahaha...), I want Temari to be a cat! Rah! Don't mess with me!
Kankurou is an ant, because one of his favourite puppets to use is called 'black ant'. Not Kurasu, that's 'crow'. ...well, Kankurou could be a crow. ...yeah, crow works better. Kankurou, you're a crow!
Lee: GREEN TURTLE!
Gai: BIGGER GREEN TURTLE!
Tenten is a porcupine! Fear its deadly needles! Or a falcon; fear its deadly talons! Fear Tenten! All must fear Tenten!
Neji is an eagle. A free eagle. A majestic eagle. An angsty, majestic eagle. Ok, so Neji changes from angsty to just serious after the chuunin exam. But I can't help still seeing him as angsty.
...AND I AM A COW OF DOOM! DOOM! DOOMY, DOOMY DOOM COW!
