Perhaps, but if he's going to have that attitude, he shouldn't have taken a team to teach. Now that he has them, it's time to buck up before he gets someone killed.
Most likely, having thought about it more, Tenten would find it to be simple next to learning to make her family weapon-summoning scrolls for the Dragon Dance thingy I can't remember the proper name of at the moment and can't be bothered to look up. Do I need to add something to her costume in the way of an armlet or bracer for the seal to be hidden in? Would a set of Kakashi-like fingerless gloves with a plate on the back work - the seal could be etched or painted on the inside surface of the plate, probably, and they would give her some protection for her hands in her new close-combat regime. (yes, I got the idea from the gloves in Fullmetal Alchemist with a transmuter's circle on the back.)
Actually... I could see her making herself a set of three for each hand's knuckle plate, once she practises the presiscion of control to only activate one at a time. One summons her jitsugetsu (sun and moon; time; days; years - a combo is jitsugetsuseishin - Sun and Moon and Stars - a moon strike across, a sun strike up to throw them into the air, then lots and lots of shuriken as they fly out of reach) that spot on the other hand calls a (normal, not Spring Steel Compound Bow of DOOM!) longbow, and then one on each hand for a handful of kunai or shuriken - throw left, throw right, recall left from where they hit and throw, recall right from where they hit and throw, repeat as needed.
Almost as good as an inexhaustible supply, except that if they get damaged she has to fall back to her usual carried ones and she has to actually wait for them to reach the target before recalling them to throw again, and she can't use them to deliver an explosion tag since the tag would come too when they were recalled. Of course, most of her clothes are one big mass of hidden pockets... It's a good thing for her there aren't airports in the shinobi world, because she'd never get through the security checkpoint. Immediately removing the blades would also heighten blood loss, unless she's fqacing someone with jinchuuriki-like regeneration abilities. Or, maybe that's what she'd think of as another application for the seal, and your avatar could come up with a similar but more effective approach. It's probably the thing that she would most want to have learnt from Neshan (which my fingers insist on mistyping 'Nechan'![[Image: happy.gif]](http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/happy.gif)
) (GDWTF!? The message just posted itself, unfinished...) given her preferred combat mode.
Hmm, for that matter, could a variation on that seal be made that's effectively a reloading kunai trap? - when given a triggering chakra burst, a kunai of mass of them come flying out, then are reset when a defferent trigger pattern is used? This and a few normal bunshins would duplicate the ambush the Mist-nin used on Team7 plus Kabuto in the Forest of Death. Actually making the bunshins would probably be Sakura and Sasuke's job, thoguh it's hard to tell if Tenten isn't good at/doesn't like ninjutsu and genjutsu or if she hasn't used any because almost no one has used a normal bunshin (I think Sakura did, once) since the Academy exams. It makes you wonder why they bothered to put it on the final if no one ever uses them in battle... maybe just because it's a genjutsu genin can learn, and thereby show whether they have an aptitude for it?
Eh, whatever.

Quote:Well that's helpful, then - it's hard to indulge my second fondness in weapons - that being center-grip polearms - when I know from personal experience how much of a PIA they can be when trying to move through the woods, and even more when the character in question is likely to want to be stealthy - difficult witha six foot plus weapon on your person.
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
