Iv used a very similar water setup, azure fang is my bai. I was using Sailor Sakura instead of Mabui in my lineup. I would generally get the extra chakra turn 1 after Ao clones were popped and fire off GNW 1010`s bomb.

PROS
+ Chaos
+ Acupuncture
+ Paralyze
+ Heal
+ Hard Hitting AoE

CONS
- Squishy
- Can be counter controlled
- Big Nuke is a Big Target
- Missing vital CC`s can often spell defeat

OPINION
The team overall preformed well when i used it, but is susceptible to single target nukes and counter control, such as genjutsu mirror, root, cleanses. If the team cannot keep up its control is is at a disadvantage. Nobody is particularly tanky and 1010 is typically target right away, which will dramatically effect your DPS. Be that as it may, its a ton of fun and with practice can be used to control the flow of combat quite well in most cases once you know who to aim for on enemy teams.

Im currently running a root team, and its extremly effective. Im using a different lineup from you though, so I cant speak from personal experiance on your lineup. I will say that my root team has proven to be very effective and has a little pit of everything. So lets break down what yours has.

PROS
+ AoE
+ Paralyze
+ Buff Cleanse
+ Off Tank (Bee)
+ Bonus Action
+ Barrier Buff

CONS
- Can be CC`d after round 2
- Barrier can be countered by non auto barriers and auto barriers with higher init
- Squishy
- Unreliable Heal

OPINION
Root teams tend to reliant on the blitz, taking out soft or key targets in the first 2 rounds, after which they can be CC`d, and without a way to get rid of it is a killer. Dealing with tanks and healers can be problamatic if the damage is just not their so you will want as many buffs as possible. I think B is the weak link and would be better of being replaced with someone like Iruka, Guy, or WB Asuma who will further ramp your damage and increase your blitz kill potentail to muscle past any heavy targets in your way with autos and bomb down targets with mystery started combos.

Ultimatly, both can be good teams it would just depend what fits your playstyle.
Hopefully this helps in your selection, best of luck.
