Either to the concept of a fanon-tempered Akane as a shinobi, because that just won't _work_ as anything but a bit of amusing kunai-fodder, or to even a Chunin being surprised by that.

Up to you; I'm not holding a kunai to your jugular and making you click on the link.--
Or if you _want_ to stick with ninja tomboys, why not take one that's already pretty much perfect for the setting. I mean, I'd be tickled pink to see Okuzaki Akira there.
