Quote:There probably are warning bells, or at least a vague sort of 'I hope she does okay under -that- guy,' worry, but personal opinions aside, the man -is- a Jounin, and can therefore be trusted to know how to do his job... until proven otherwise.
I figured the simple fact that he's never on time to anything and never takes anything seriously until it's do-or-die time would be enough to sound worning bells, but you know your avatar best, of course.
Putting it another way, I suppress my emotions so much that I don't have much in the way of 'gut instinct'. He's better about it, but not by that much.
Quote:Yes and yes. For the first, one of the big attractions of seals, for him, is that anybody who's willing to do the research and brainsweat to understand them can perform all but the very most powerful effects... and another is that, once the seal is created, all you need to do is spend that tiny flicker of chakra to trigger the thing. So, yes, with the proper tools and instruction, Tenten is quite capable of reproducing that summoning seal - from scratch, if need be. And, even if she wasn't, he could quite easily just make one for her and instruct her in its use like any other weapon.
Hum - would a genin be capable of learning the trick he uses to store his own staff? Would he teach it?
For the second, he's an orphan from a non-ninja family. He has no bloodline to worry about - no secrets to protect. Despite his ability at creative applications, -nothing- he does is sufficiently original that any Jounin with a description of the effect couldn't reverse-engineer it.
Quote:Nope, I'd say not terribly. I'll take a fire-axe to it for my own draft... sometime other than four in the morning.
I'm having trouble ending the conversation, but the last important part is supposed to be Neshan saying "I'll talk to Kakashi about it/for you." Hopefully I dind't mangle your character too much.
Quote:Map at an interesting site
Oh, and does anyone have a link to somewhere with a shinobi countries map? I can google myself, of course, but a known link is a lot less troublesome.
I disagree with both of his bloodline theories, but interesting nonetheless. Oh, and the southern border of the Rain Country is hidden under the text.
'Uke-nin'... Unfortunately, not a Neshan thing to say. However, it is very -much- a -Naruto- thing to say.
I'll have to remember that.
Ja, -n
