I agree with Scribbles on having separate OOC and Character Sheet threads.<br/><br/>As for the exams, Katashi would probably do pretty well given that there's a lot of time to prepare, which plays extremely well to Fuinjutsu. Er, "pretty well" for Katashi would be making it to finals then loosing to someone who is actually a skilled 'combat-centric' type. His style of fighting does make it near impossible to come out unscathed in what is a relatively small area and explosion tags are pretty powerful.<br/><br/>Minor Spoiler, and a reference to a more major one<br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Even Hanzo the Salamander used them against the Sannin and Nagato, and Konan had a pretty good showing with them more recently.</div></div><br/>It's<em>highly</em>unlikely he'd be considered leadership material though, given his lack of subtly in... well, everything. Katashi uses one of only a few 'styles' of fighting that are actually<em>more </em>noticeable then vomiting fireballs everywhere. The other one that comes to mind being summoning.
