It says that crippling an opponent will be interpreted as being too tactically inflexible to be trusted with certain missions such as kidnapping or capturing ninja for interrogation. Naturally, this intra-village effect won't be in place if you can plausibly argue, "I was deliberately trying to cripple those filthy traitors and undermine the enemy Kage by demonstrating the incompetence of his children". As far as the exams are concerned, the consequences of turning somebody into a blind, deaf paraplegic for life as long as it's done in the ring are a shrug and everybody telling the relevant Kage that he needs to train his genin to dodge better.
Blowing off somebody's hands was the specific example chosen when describing the "no big deal" dynamic. Perhaps they won't outright kill Uplift, but I suspect that the thread would be quite unhappy if the burgeoning sealmaster got his hands blown off.
Really? You don't see any reason why Hiashi might want to avoid calling attention to his children's dismal performance?
"We decided to go out of our way to help our friends and allies, and declined to save somebody who was heavily invested in our political annihilation and openly refused to put her duty to Leaf above that from her own pathetically inadequate performance. Whine some more about how Goketsu should have been obligated to drag Hyuuga literally unconscious across the finish line."
