Try Deidara-GNW Kankuro - someone who can quickly rack up a 10 Hit Combo. I used 8-Gates Lee, but since you don't have him...
Well if you want to play defensive you could go with Hinata, but if you want to play offensive go with someone like 8-Gates Lee who can easily make a 10 Hit Combo. Shiba for pet, mirror return and low float to repulse chase, and any standard and mystery you want.
I went with the more offensive formation, so I decided to make my main a "controller" to shut down Mysteries that could seriously hurt. 'Cause without Hinata, this team is seriously fragile. I also tried to make up for that with the Oboro clone... which adds to the "control" and does work okay as a blocker.
Though this lineup does give some flexibility. Hope this is helpful in some way.
