Been messing around Chiyo myself though I didn't originally have her planned to be a main team, something more on the bench. She really needs shields or protection from paralyze. I have 5 star Jirobo and he feels like a waste sadly, I wished he got CS form like Kimi so that his buffs would be great ( In pokemon a great boost is considered 3 stages, instead of 1 ) Jiro can be *n up since he starts up slow, Chiyo has more life growth and defense but poor resistance. I tried using suigetsu since I have demon fox summon ( I lack Gamaken to bounce off Chiyo and freeing up my nin choices. In the future Chiyo will only be able to trigger 6x instead of 10x making it perfect.) Sui was there to start combos with tag, improving damage although you drop to 11 instead of 12 with anyone else in the team.
I originally wanted Choza since he can be buffed with heals instead of waiting to be damaged, no luck yet. If I do get him I might drop Jiro for Kisame for some chakra control but then you have nobody to dispel stuff, letting Chiyo get *n up in 1-2 rounds. Like some others I believed Choza would proc aoe heals and thought it'd be enough for Chiyo but apparently it was a mistranslation.
