Kage Bunshin is the clone technique, Henge is the disguise/transformation - but it's pretty certainly a real change of shape, because Nuroto flew lke a fuuma shuriken when he used enge no Jutsu to become one, and he and Gamabunta did a combo-henge into a fox so they could have claws and teeth to fight Shuukaku.
Nathan: Assume that you are much the same as SI-Neshan, but a local version instead of a DDP and hence without OOC knowledge. If you had Tenten to teach for the year she was stuck without a team, what would you teach her?
&stuff: After more thoguht, I've decided that Naruto will, indeed, not realise what Rikou is trying to tell him without words - not because one way is funnier or more plotable than the other, but, well, consider it from his point of view:
For most of his life, the only person who treated him nicely was Sarutobi-sama, who probably never touched him since he was old enough to walk. After he was old enough to get out of the house sometimes, he discovered Pops Ichiraku and Auntie Ayame, who treated him as well as a normal shop keeper with a normal good customer, a little banter, greetings when they meet, etc., but still the only personal contact he can remember is 'caretakers' none-too-gently grabbing him to holf him in place or pull him where they want him, or getting smacked for pulling a prank or no reason he can telll at all.
Then, a couple years early, he enters the Ninja academy, probably because whoever was supposed to be taking care of him during the day decided they'd had enough of him and no one else could be found (he probably WANTED to enter, possibly for a while before that - it depends on how long the academy actually lasts, which I've seen quotes of anyhing from two to five years...) and at some point manages to befreind Iruka, who occasionally might pat his shoulder and who sometimes treats him to ramen.
Still, he's not all that used to non-hostile touching.
Then, suddenly, he meets Lee, who is a slightly-more-tactile than average person at this point. If he gets excited, he grabs hands or shoulders and dances around, and expects at a 'team handshake' to seal every training plan.
Shortly after that, Gai appears, who is down right huggy whenever one or both of the boys impress him with their passionate fire of youth. He is really on edge around Gai for a while, then ralises that it's only more of the same and starts to lose the tense-and-flee conditioning.
A week or month after THAT, Rikou follows her father to their training spot after the academy lets out one day. She is as impressed by their burning determination to succed as her father, Naruto edging out Lee for grabbing her intrest because Lee is a little too much like Daddy for comfort. By the time they all graduate, she's become the Human Limpet... but you see, he doesn't really know where the average line is for physical affection between freinds, so he doesn't really get that she's interested that way.
As far as Naruto can tell it's just that she's even more huggy than her dad, who's more huggy than lee, who's more huggy than anyone else he's ever seen - even Neji and Sasuke's fangirls don't actually latch onto them too often, (thoguh mainly because neither boy would allow it) and they're always talking at length and volume about the objects of their desire, if not arguing with each other.
Rikou doesn't really SAY anything like that to or about him, she just snuggle like a freindly anaconda. Likewise, Hinata is far too repressed, er, refined to do more than hint around the innuendo bush, which is farr too subtle for him to get - or even get why they don't seem to like each other when Hinata is always giving Rikou fashion tips and trying to help her be cuter, and Rikou is always complimenting Hinata on how calm and elegant she is.
Sigh. Girls are wierd. =^_^=
