I was wondering...
We know that Katsu's mother was from the Mist. However, I gather she's *not* a Kaiou member. I don't know if he'll be strong enough by the Chuunin exams to start utilizing that style, but assuming he is, what would be the repercussions of that, both personally and on a village scale? Taking a page from the scenelet in the other thread about the (lack of) mutual defense in Mist, would the Kiaou clan be amused or furious (or somewhere in between) by his bastardization of their technique? And would they try to find out where he learned it? And on a village scale, we know that villages protect their bloodlines and clans jealously (for the most part anyway -- Haku being an exception). So what would the Mist's response to their techniques being utilized by Leaf nins? (Not to mention, the eventual development of a sword technique o.O)
