A random idea I had last night that wouldn't let go. Please don't kill me.

Why would we. The world needs more Azumanga fics. BUT, we'll hurt you
a lot if something is not perfect (just kidding, all right :-)

"Okay! It's time to begin. I
expect great things from you, because you're my hope for beating my greatest
rival!"

This isn't Yukari. This is Yukari:

  Yukari slapped the table with a deafening retort which made genin
  to jump and declared: "I have only word for you: OUR VICTORY!!!"

You could HEAR the heart at the end of his words.

I cannot stand references to visuals like the heart. It's cheap.
For example, if anyone writes "So-and-so sweatdropped", my hand reaches
for keyboard to write a scathing review.

I would use Chihiro and the Girl With Two Long Braids to compliment
Kaorin's squad. Or why not a boy. Ooyama would work. Make Kimura
jealous... Ahh, the possibilities.

The fragment uses the recognition effect well, so you get points for
the use of the material. How about going for a complete story around it
though?

If you do, this needs a lot more connection to the Naruto world than
just head protectors. A popular trick is to use match-ups, either
partners or opponents.

Good luck,
