Hi, this is the second stage of the tag team tournament featuring some of the most powerful and popular Naruto characters. Though the tournament doesn’t officially mean the winners are the strongest tag team combo. I just wanted to find out who you thought would win from the matchups and which pair would ultimately become the champions. I decided I would put no restrictions on the tournament except one the sage of six paths is not included as it just would not be fair, he alone could take out the top 5 shinobi in Naruto probably (who knows). You can put in multiple votes but please do not place votes for both ninja tag teams that are battling each other e.g. sasuke and Naruto vs neji and lee. Also give reasons if you want to/have any. I will try to put in teams that already exist, but will be creating some custom teams e.g. Kakashi and chouji. Some teams may be weak while others might be too powerful. People with curse marks start at curse mark level 2. Just pick who you think would win.
Draws: If there is a draw the two teams continue to the next round and are placed against other teams preferably teams that have drawn if there are any. There is an extra matchup due to there having been 2 draws in stage 1 of the tag team tournament.
P.s this is based on the characters from the second story arc. (Unless there are characters from the first arc or otherwise stated)
