I run a 4* Wind Main (talents 23231 w/ Bull) with 4* Gaara, 2* GNW Kankuro, and 3* Ningendo Pein.
Since you don't have Gaara, you can probably use Kimimaro as *ternative, since you'll need a tanky character to absorb some damage. You can probably keep you talents in the same 23231 formation with Bull as your summon, and you should be able to get some decent combos. If you want, you c*e normal Kankuro until GNW Kankuro is up to snuff, but GNW is definitely better as he has both poison and ignition debuffs.
Formation should be something like one of the following:
x Main (wind clone)
Ningendo Kimimaro (wind clone)
Kankuro (puppet) (wind clone)
OR
Kankuro (puppet) (wind clone)
Ningendo Main Kimimaro
x (wind clone) (wind clone)
OR
Ningendo Main Kimimaro
x (wind clone) (wind clone)
Kankuro (puppet) (wind clone)
You have to play around with the timing of mysteries a bit to get the hang of it, but it's well worth it to play manual and not leave the AI to do the work for you. It does a crappy job and you can definitely have easier victories if you play this team on manual.
Hope this helps!
