Description

It's official... My MLP-ism has finally caught up with my Naruto-ism. :iconcryforeverplz:

Anyway... I was reading back on the Sasuke Retrieval Arc when I realized that there were six Konoha-nin (the five members of the original team plus Rock Lee, who catches up later), and I said to myself, "Hey, what if we lampoon the Mane Six with these guys and stuff?" and thus, the idea of "My Little Po-Nin" was conceived.

And now without further ado, meet the other Mane Six! :iconfluttershyyayplz: (Note: Pony names are enclosed in parentheses.)

Naruto (Maelstrom)
The Element of Chakra/Magic/Friendship/Whatever
Tribe: Unicorn
Cutie Mark: The Eight Trigrams Seal

As the hero and title character of the Naruto series, it was only appropriate that he played the protagonist. Also, he's a unicorn because he uses ninjutsu which is akin to magic in the MLP world. Like Twilight Sparkle, he also initially had poor control due to massive chakra/magic reserves. And like Twilight, he gets better...

Shikamaru (Velvet Glade)
The Element of [Brutal] Honesty
Tribe: Unicorn
Cutie Mark: A Shogi tile inscribed with the characters for "Knight"

I had a hard time coming up with a name, but then I remembered that velvet comes from deer antlers, and the rest is history...

Rock Lee (Pep Rallee)
The Element of Laughter
Tribe: Earth Pony
Cutie Mark: A budding lotus plant

This was pretty much an easy one. The name, however, was subject to much deliberation until "Pep Rallee" was decided upon. Also, because like the original Japanese name, "Lee" is the last syllable. :shrug:

Chouji (Butterbean)
The Element of Generosity (Oh, the irony!)
Tribe: Earth Pony
Cutie Mark: The Three Akimichi Food Pills (Chili, Spinach, and Curry)

Naming him was tough, and like Fluttershy, he had a butterfly motif which I didn't really want to repeat; so I decided to go for food pills instead. Come to think of it, even his attitude sans food binging is a lot like Fluttershy's.

Neji (Whirlybird)
The Element of Kindness
Tribe: Pegasus
Cutie Mark: The Bagua Symbol

I know his pony name sounds cutesy, silly, and downright inappropriate, but then again "Neji" sounds kinda cutesy, and it doesn't quite fit with the sun/fire based theme naming found in the more prominent members of the Hyuuga Clan.

Kiba (Wildfang)
The Element of Loyalty
Tribe: Pegasus
Cutie Mark: A dog's paw print

His concept was a lot easier since, there're a lot of cool name combinations that started with "Wild" and "Kiba" meant "fang", so I just flowed along. Also, the Inuzuka Clan prioritized the virtue of loyalty above all others, so there...
