Hey, I’m not playing the Naruto TCG... or CCG, or whatever.
Don’t worry, I’m still going with MTG.

Spot a companion with Byakugan to heal each companion with resistance 4 or more.
"I thought we had come to a time of peace in Konoha."
Cool.
elf lvr wrote:  Body Reading [Konoha]
Condition * Support Area
To play, spot two characters with Byakugan.
When you play this condition, add 3 [Konoha] tokens here.
Response: If an opponent draws a card, remove a token from here to make them reveal that card.
Maneuver: Remove a token from here to reveal the top card of an opponent’s draw deck.
"I can tell by the way you’re standing that you’re extremely nervous. You’re also putting your hand out from your body. This shows that you want something between me and you. Finally, I can see in your eyes that you have come to the same conclusion I have. Forfeit, now. We both know you’re going to lose."
That lore is as long as MY cards! 
And you’re right...this isn’t anything too special on its own, but there’s some good combo opportunity. Hope you plan on taking advantage of that.
elf lvr wrote:  Loser [Konoha]
Event * Maneuver
Exert a character with Byakugan to make a minion lose all keywords and unable to gain keywords until the regroup phase.
"You are a loser. You will always be a loser, because that’s what a loser is. A loser. There is nothing else a loser can be but a loser. The fact that you are a loser has already been decided, and when something is decided it cannot be changed because it is decided!"
You’re missing a "be" in there, I think.
elf lvr wrote:  A Most Ancient and Deadly Technique [Konoha]
Event * Skirmish
Make a character with Byakugan strength +2 (or strength +4 if you can spot Gentle Fist Style).
The Jyuuken has been passed down, from generation to generation, for centuries.
Looks fine to me. |

The lore on "body reading" more or less (I know I didn’t quote it exactly) comes from the fight between Neji and Hinata.
They don’t fight because they particularly want to, but because they have to.
And Dain, I’ll add that "be." |

Alright, I *think* we’re done with this one. Let’s see what it looks like, shall we?
"Ring-bearer" and "Ring"
Hinata, Bearer of Responsibility
with
Honor of a Family
Starting Fellowship
Neji, Hyuga Prodigy
Hanabi, Powerful Child
Decklist:
Hiashi, Head of the Main Branch x3
Hizashi, Hyuga Master x3
Gentle Fist Style x3
Body Reading x2
Kunai x4
Rapid Blows x4
Eight Trigrams Heavenly Spin x2
Protection of the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms x3
Eight Trigrams Empty Palm x2
Time of Peace x2
Loser x2
A Most Ancient and Deadly Technique x4
And, of course, two full sets of "Palms", x14
That would be 50 cards. Guys, what to drop? Weird, asking for peoples opinions about how to edit a DC deck, but hey, I’m not normal, am I?
Anyways, here’s a few more cards (not necessarily for any deck, just random) to keep reviews going.
Hand Signs [Konoha]
Event * Fellowship
Discard 2 cards from hand to take a jutsu from deck into hand.
*Predestined Failure [Konoha]
Condition * Support Area
Epic.
Once per turn, during the maneuver phase, you may guess the name of the top card of a shadow player’s deck. That shadow player reveals the card. If you guessed correctly, discard that card. |

Well, thanks for the help (  ) but that’s 38. And now I’ll move on to the next fellowship side (don’t worry, the shadows will come soon enough!)
Beatstick! Team 9, Go!
Alright. I was gonna do something else next, but I thought I’d better go ahead and introduce the next deck with Neji.
You see, after a ninja graduates from the ninja academy, he is given the lowest rank of "genin" and assigned to a three-man genin team, headed by a jonin ninja (the levels are genin, then chuunin, then jonin, with the Hokage above them all).
Neji gets stuck in team 9, headed by the Happy-go-lucky Might Guy. Might Guy is such a character, I can’t begin to describe him. He’s a teary-eyed good guy, always talking about friendship and believing in yourself. Yeah, that sort of guy. But he’s insanely powerful, nonetheless. Neji’s companions are the Guy-idolizing and village hot-head, Rock Lee, and a sort of giddy girl, Tenten. Yeah. A real winning team.
But they come together well, if odly, each stuggling to outdo the other. Might Guy takes Lee’s side, because he sees so much of himself in the kid. Eventually, all three become accomplished ninjas.
By the way, check out the links to pics of the characters.
Anyways, let’s get onto the "Ring-bearer" of the group, our good buddy, Rock Lee.
*Rock Lee, Bearer of Secrets [Kohona]
Companion * Genin Ninja
Strength: 6
Vitality: 3
Resistance:  5
While you can spot Might Guy, Rock Lee is resistance +2.
At the start of each skirmish involving Rock Lee, if he is the Ring-bearer, wound him twice.
Response: Each time a [Kohona] skirmish event is played in a skirmish involving Rock Lee, make him strength +1 until the end of the skirmish.
"A dropout can surpass a genius through hard work!"
Rock Lee is a ninja academy dropout, becuase he was never good enough to pass (till now). This was because, unlike other ninja, he could not use ninjutusu (special ninja moves) only taijutsu (physical moves). However, Might Guy found him and became a sort of mentor to him, training and helping him. Neji is Rock Lee’s ultimate rival. Neji is a natural genius, and Rock Lee wants to prove he can be better than him with hard work alone.
*Secret of the Eight Gates
The One Ring
Vitality: +2
Bearer must be Rock Lee. While wearing Secret of the Eight Gates, Rock Lee is strength +2 each time he is about to take a wound, add a burden instead.
Skirmish: Exert Rock Lee to wear Secret of the Eight Gates until the regroup phase.
"Guy, you taught him that? You fool."
Hold on for the explaination. I need to make one more card first.
*The Eight Gates [Kohona]
Condtion * Support Area
Epic.
To play, exert Rock Lee. Each time Rock Lee wins a skirmish, add a [Kohona] token here.
Rock Lee is strength +1 and damage +1 for each [Kohona] token here.
If you can spot 8 [Konoha] tokens here, place Rock Lee in the dead pile at the end of the turn.
"That technique gives him a lot of power... but using it takes a great toll on his body. I still can’t believe Guy taught it to him."
Alright. The Eight Chakra Gates is a sort of technique that Might Guy passed on to Rock Lee. The idea is, there are 8 different "gates" in the body that limit the flow of chakra, so that the body doesn’t wear itself out too quickly. The technique can open each of these gates, one at a time. This gives the body a surge of power and energy, but will eventually wear it down. The last gate, when opened, will always be fatal.
I wish I could get you an image of it. ’Tis shweet.
Anyways, next card.
*Neji, Caged Bird [Kohona]
Companion * Chuunin Ninja
Strength: 7
Vitality: 3
Resistance: 6
Byakugan.
Each time Neji wins a skirmish, you may heal another [Kohona] companion. (or heal that companion twice if it is Rock Lee or Naruto).
Skirmish: Exert Neji to play a [Kohona] jutsu from your discard pile.
"Naruto. You go. You have better eyes than mine."
This card represents Neji after his battle with Naruto. Naruto totally changes his outlook on life, that he cannot change anything. He also becomes much more selfless, nearly killing himself for a member of his team. By the way, the subtitle is sort of the show’s symbol for Neji; a bird that wants to fly, but is restricted (like Neji’s genius and his branch-clan status).
*Tenten, One-shot [Kohona]
Companion * Man
Strength: 5
Vitality: 3
Resistance: 6
Archer.
While you can spot Neji, Tenten is twilight cost -1.
At the start of the archery phase, you may remove a weapon counter from a possession to exert a minion.
Skirmish: Exert Tenten to play a support area possession from your discard pile.
"Tenten never misses."
Tenten is the hyperactive girl that completes Team 9’s odd menagerie of characters. She specializes in summoning and weilding different weapons, and with throwing weapons, she never misses.
As for weapon counters and support area possessions... you’ll have to wait and see. |

Interesting. I assume there is some combo potential here?

Neat. I’d probably want to use him as a NON-RB, but he’s good.

"That technique gives him a lot of power... but using it takes a great toll on his body. I still can’t believe Guy taught it to him."
Interesting. I think the drawback keeps it balanced, barely. MAYBE consider adding 1 token for each minion killed in a skirmish he wins. That gives the Shadow player a chance to go for some interesting strategy and sacrifice minions in an attempt to pile on the tokens.

Alright. Time for a few more.
I’m not sure which direction I’m taking Neji in this deck, but I’m sure I’ll figure something out. Until then, here’s the next few cards.
 *Might Guy, Bursting With Youth [Konoha]
Companion * Jonin Ninja
Strength: 8
Vitality: 4
Resistance: 7
Damage +1.
You do not have to pay the Chakra Cost for jutsus with "Lotus" in the title.
Each time Might Guy wins a skirmish, you may exert him to take a [Kohona] jutsu from your discard pile into hand.
Nice-Guy Pose [Konoha]
Condition
Resistance: +1
Bearer must be Might Guy or Rock Lee. Limit one per bearer.
Regroup: If bearer won a skirmish this turn, discard this condition and add to draw 3 cards.
Dynamic Entry! [Konoha]
Event * Assignment
Add 2 threats to play Might Guy from your hand and wound a minion twice.
Weapon Scroll [Konoha]
Possession
Plays to your support area. When you play this possession, spot Tenten to place 3 weapon counters here.
Archery: Exert Tenten and remove a weapon counter from here to wound a minion. |
