Greiver, Nathan, more great stuff - the thing that has me so excited, thoguh, is that it just suddenly came to me ow to do Ninja Usagi without stealing Naruto or Sakura's shticks - and this keeps her Tsukino, not Morino - Her family has summoning contracts with their own ancestors.
Contact a particular ancestral spirit whose contract is not currently in use with the help of a medium, get them to agree to help a particular youngster, then sign, mold some chakra and do the technique - the spirit is summoned into the kid's body, for a maximum time determined by how much chakra is initially used, or as little time as they want to be there. There's a degree of shared memory both ways - what's happened in the last few minutes, but not how and only vaguely why - so while there's a momentary disorientation it's not to bad, and hey presto, instant jounin or elite!
Of course, the body's chakra reserve and conditioning are still the same, and the young nin is still obligated to improve their own ability so they can continue the tradition, so ancestors won't stick around if it's not a real combat situation, and one beyond the summoner's ability to handle - something the ancestors are generally quite qualified to determine, since they're chosen for their experience after all.
Usagi has ye-gods-huge chakra reserves, so her great aunt Serenity can pull off some showstopper ninjutsu, but her physical conditioning is kind of sad, and just to make things worse she's hit a growth spurt that came on in the past week so she's suddenly really klutsy. Whether or not Auntie is letter her call on her for the chuunin exam after the first test (it's supposed to be a test for USAGI, after all, not a jounin with decades of experience - the first test being exempt because the whole point is to realise you need to cheat and not get caught) depends on wther I need her or not, and whether I need her to win.
- CDThat which does not kill us... has made its last mistake.
SERVO: Loook *deeeeply* into my eyes... Tell me, what do you see?
CROW: (hypnotized) A twisted man who wants to inflict his pain upon others.
