First off, "pay to win" players (also known as paying customers) are the people who keep this game alive. Without them the game would be shut down because they wouldn't be making any money. After all, online video games are a business designed to make money. That's how the world works.
Second off, despite having spent $90 to support this game and keep it alive for people who will play for free and not give a dime to the people who have earned their support, I'm going to help you out with your team.
Alright so, many new players don't know this, but Hinata is one of the most OP ninja in the game early on, and even some level 70 players still use Hinata just because of how strong she is. Due to this, it's recommended that we should try to build a team around her, and then around wind since you can enhance 3 of your 4 ninjas attack and ninjutsu by 40% if they are wind type with your Wind Enhancement Talent.
If you design your team as follows:
X - Main - Hinata
X - X - X
Kankuro - Naruto - X
This lineup will give you acupuncture from Hinata from both your own and Naruto's repulses as you'll be using Giant Rasengan, and Kankuro and Naruto will both be stacking their own cover with Naruto clones and Kankuro's puppet. Hinata is tanky enough to survive on her own, especially with clones taking some of the hits for her.
I hope this all helps you, and I hope I covered enough information to help you learn a bit about the game too :)
EDIT: That team will also have a decent enough combo to get by while being mainly a control/defensive team. Works great for new players who don't have many resources yet!
