Innue, ultimatum: Chakra Scalpel as a minor offensive or Shadow Sewing.

Reasoning: If, as you say, her focus is so greatly on medical ninjutsu, then her Hiden must suffer.
Innue said She's capable of using it offensively if she isn't doing anything else, but she doesn't have the Taijutsu skill to really do anything truly aggressive with it.


No, she's not. She's a Chuunin with a dual-specialization. There is no viable way she could use it offensively. Kabuto, at a Jounin-level (at the least) could only cut tendons and muscle with it. She would have basically no applicable use of it. As soon as someone dived in and she would have to dodge, she would lose the level of concentration it would take to keep it going.

Canon states that the chakra scalpel is a technique that some medical-nin can't even use, meaning that it has to be at least A-Rank. Chuunin specializing in Hiden and Medical-ninjutsu, most likely just recently learning Medical-Ninjutsu, is not going to be capable of using it offensively. She could look scary with it, but aside from that, nothing.

The jutsu literally lets you cut people from the inside. >.> It's gotta be watched close. Also, much like Shadow Clone Jutsu and Mystic Palm Jutsu, it's what I call a 'testament" ability. It proves she is capable to a certain degree, and at her age and skill, she shouldn't be.
Chakra Scalepel requires an incredible amount of concentration, control and precision to use. However, it's use isn't necessarily advanced. If used for strictly medical purposes, it's not really out of place on a Nara Chuunin. However, it'd be utterly useless in combat. Her Nara has no real taijutsu capabilities, no muscle memory, no close range training. Chances are, in close quarters combat, the Nara wouldn't even be able to use Chakra Scalpel, let alone fight with it. The only shinobi seen doing so was Kabuto, and as we know he might as well have been an S-Class ninja.
I believe I shall make a Chuunin to pair with Innue, as I did the other two Chuunin.
Make her *cough* slutty *cough* interesting.
I brought the gift of bubble gum and badassery.

I gave Origin the last piece of gum, tho.
It's not that complex. The jutsu materializes the Shadow. In the past, the materialized shadow has been abused to be a myriad of things, ranging from essentially turning a forest into a living death trap of shadows. I limit the jutsu by stating that A) the only shadow that can be turned into Shadow Tendrils is that of the user and what thy extend to B) that all shadow tendrils in corporeal form can be hurt C) that the tendrils are limited as you said, but also cannot move from their origin point once summoned. They must retreat, then reposition if need be.
Lilly, just wait until Beta is done.
Shadow Imitation can easily chase down a target and relocate itself. But, once the Shadow Covers an area, the tendrils are summoned through it. Once tendrils are summoned, they cannot move. You can summon more, but they can't "shift" from their spot. I know it sounds like a tiny things, but I literally have had people chase down others with tendrils that are basically intangible, regrowing bits of blackness. It's a bit broken. So, for that purpose, I break it down into two steps: Placement of the Shadow, then creation of the tendrils.
It would be greatly unfair to just make a character set offlimits. The Nara are powerful, but not completely imbalanced. All it would take, in theory, is a very powerful genjutsu Kai to break a hold, but that would only work once. I'll allow the character on the removal of Self-Restraint and the inhibitors of Katon being highly-chakra consuming and his sensing being limited to his concentration.

Shadow Sewing is another issue. The area in which Shadow Sewing is effective is stationary. I know some people try to relocate it. That's not how it will work. Once the tendrils are summoned, the entire jutsu must be reused to displace the tendrils. Basically, you can't just chase people around.
