A few things that spring to mind:
Neshan can make explosive notes, he and Shikanenai both use them. Running gag of argument between Neshan (school of precise and economical placement) and Shikanenai (school of slap a few more on for good measure)?
In the TXY! (or at least his home) universe, the paper/origami jutsu are something Shikanenai came up with based on a few old scrolls he inherited from his dead mother's defunct clan. In this universe, those jutsu were flat out lost and he has no connection to the clan. It may not be Sharingan, but Orochimaru would be interested in getting hold of those jutsu.
Given that Neshan and Shikanenai have already passed the genin test (bell test or not) there wouldn't be any problem for them there. Equally, if things went that far then the first part of the chunin exam would be easy. Would that mesh with the expectations of those around them? (Katsu=strongest in class? Neshan=brainiac? Shikanenai=troublemaker?) Genin, even exceptional prodigies like Neji and Sasuke don't usually act like seasoned ninja and I'm guessing that all three have a decade or so of experience.
All three seem to be weapon-orientated, and there's certainly a wide-range of skills - assassin, infiltrator, seal expert. And I doubt any of them would throw a hissy fit as such to get a better mission. Although they might get one if only to try to stop them running roughshod over Kakashi.
-----------------------------------------------------
"But you already took today's mission," Sandaime told a puzzled Kakashi. "And only half-an-hour late, I was quite impressed," he added with a straight face. By the excellent henge and acting abilities of the genin rather than the relative punctuality of the errant jounin, of course. He was fairly sure even the chunin guards outside his office had been decieved.
"This is the first time I've been here today," Kakashi said. "It must have been an impostor."
There was a thump from the window and a wicker basket of the kind used to transport pets was deposited on the floor beneath it. Three small heads were visible just above the sill, all of them wearing Konoha hitai-i.
"Found the cat," reported Nara Shikanenai, the leftmost of the heads. "Can we have another pathetically easy D-rank mission or do we have to do some actual work today?"
-----------------------------------------------------
"I see Gai's team," Neshan reported.
"What are they doing down there?" Shikanenai asked.
"Looks like they're just milling around. There are a couple of genin blocking the entrance to a second floor classroom. Could be a fight. What about up there?"
"Kakashi's reading his book outside the classroom he told us to go to," Katsu replied.
"Do you ever feel sorry for people who use, you know, doors and corridors and stuff?" asked Shikanenai as he fiddled with the latch of the window leading into the examroom.
