Regarding bringing Akane into the clan, I think that it is probably a good idea---though we need to hear more about the potential downsides from people who know better. However, although we are perfectly rational reasoning and planning engines not influenced at all by affection for any given fictional character nor by a desire to see more of her, and so whereas our decision---and therefore Hazou's---will, of course, not be tainted or unduly influenced by romantic considerations, how Hazou is seen counts. Bringing her in, Hazou might be seen as compromised.
More seriously, one approach might be for Hazou to raise the question, admit that he may be compromised, and ask the rest of the clan to debate without him, under
Chatham House Rule, then let him know the majority decision. I wouldn't be surprised if Nara already have procedures like that.
In any case, we probably shouldn't rush until we learn whether or not Jiraiya survived. Also, did we ever found out what Tsundae did to her? My money is on the whole crossing the line thing being a test, which Akane passed. At the same time, I don't see her as Tsundae's student---unless Tsundae wants a non-mednin as one, which I guess could happen.
