Yeah, by all means bump your characters up to level 8.<br/><br/>If you're so inclined, I think either Tashi or Jun would be considered as a potential candidate for Tani's ANBU equivalent (The Daimyo's Guards)<br/><br/>Granted, some villagers outright hope that they never get offered this duty because it's a well known fact that the Daimyo is kind of a dick. For instance, demanding such a high mission-to-ninja ratio and sending young genin out by themselves on tough missions. His guards also have an unsettling tendency to become something of a watchdog (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SecretPolice) over other residents. Of course... he genuinely holds the prosperity of his village in the highest regard- he just doesn't communicate this very well to his people. (With the exception of the Guards which would most likely contribute to their loyalty- other villagers tend to view them as being 'brainwashed')
