- Why would this be required?
If it was canon I'd say it's probably possible. In quest, it depends on how ok the QMs are with flowing chakra through your ass.

Yeah, but outside observers hyping up the Mokuton don't know that it's unrelated. (I know they're unusually full of vitality, but AFAIK actual combat-relevant regeneration isn't normal.)

It's kind of fitting though, only mfd Shikimaru would get stuck in what is basically a harem situation and be more annoyed than anything else.
Shikimaru: man this whole relationship thing with multiple women is such a drag
Noburi: wow your life must suck so bad, two girls wanting to sleep with you, poor guy /s
Kiba: This asshole
Shino: It's as if I'm dying of dehydration while watching another man drown...
Hazo: At least your Mori isn't completely insane (Akane why....
)

Added a picnic on the shore before talking privately on the water, and re-phrased things a little to stay under budget.

And if he served on the front lines in his youth and survived it to make it to a command position, his talent level can't be THAT low. (Unless talent levels are low as a standard in the summon realm.)

@Inferno Vulpix,
We should probably send one of the post-interaction surveys to Ami, she can give it to us when we meet again.

...Hm. Actually, the latter would make sense. It'd make the high-talent individuals stand out that much more, and wouldn't you know it but there was only one boss summon per clan...

The best part is that she'll probably take this as a joking riff on her whole "develop a persona better optimised for interaction with you" concept, and then during their next date, when she brings it up, he can reveal that no, he actually does this.
The question is, will her hidden reaction to "so he really is the deeply weird person I (mostly) only pretend to be" be amusement or discomfort? Either way is fun.
So yes, I am totally in favor of giving her the survey along with whatever message is sent.

Actually, everyone in Mist is Ami. She just overloaded so much that she forget this and let her clones to develop own personalities.
Outside observer can take a hint from Tsunade's combat-regen even if she have no wood release herself.
It also states in Canon that Hashirana was the only nin to ever Master wood release and mfd haven't state things are different here. Neither Tobirama, nor any other Senju had it. It assumes the release may not be part of Senju bloodline as much as talent of Hashirana.
This also updates probability that Nara used storage seals because it is less probable that bastard of Hashirama was the only talented Senju ever to match the first Hokage. I mean, why would he?

Point of order: Izanagi is a secret technique the way Mangekyō Sharingan is secret. It also leaves you permanently blind in one eye after use. It's ridiculous, but not that ridiculous for normal Uchiha who only have two eyes. (All those Uchiha eyeballs Danzō harvested? This is what he used them for when Sasuke attacked him.)
To expand on this, Wood Element is exceptional for sheer versatility. You can make pretty much anything out of durable wood on the spot, and it doesn't have to be a pre-designed shape. Clones, barriers, entangling vines, giant flying dragons, freaking forests... The only limit I can imagine is chakra, and Hashirama was a chakra monster.
The wood constructs MMKII references can comfortably go toe-to-toe with Mangekyō Sharingan chakra mechs, which are supposed to be nigh-indestructible (and Madara's version makes Sasuke's look embarrassing).
As an aside, that massive Wood Buddha statue thing? It is almost literally a Wood Buddha statue thing. Its technique name actually references a real-life historical zen master. DYK.

...Tsunade, the famous medic-nin? If you told me she had combat regen, my immediate assumption would be "well obviously she's healing herself". I'm pretty sure that's actually true, too.

Well, duh! But in cannon Tsunade also said something about not being as awesome medic-nin as her grandpa, so he also was famouse for that.

She doesn't have real combat regen. She stores up chakra over long periods of time, and releases all of it in an emergency to activate a high-speed regeneration technique. Note that it works by stimulating the production of enzymes to accelerate cell division (reminder: DYK), so you shorten your lifespan every time you use it.

So, bad news- ISC dominated the tournament, as well as the dating market.
After all, Chouji proved the size of his limb, as well as his heart. Shikamaru, on the other hand, proved that his family is not underperforming, and released his wood for everyone to see. (doesn't matter that it's most likely a prosthetic)
Good news- we must marry Ami now. It's the only way to stay standing in this alliance.
He's completely uninterested in Lady Life's advances.

Well, summoning him costs ~165 chakra points IIRC so his XP pool has a rough upper bound of 8k. Thats pretty good, but nothing Hazou won't be at in 3 years or so.

Hyūga can probably release chakra from their rears. Water sitting.

I kind of disagree. The post-interaction surveys are a good joke but I feel like the Ami situation is (beneath whatever veneer we present on the surface) far too serious for it to really fit in.
Not to mention we have no idea if there'll be a third date in the first place. Even if the opportunity remains, I doubt we have time left in the exams to schedule it, since we're pretty near the end.

Hmm, is that so? Well, I'm still of the opinion that things are a bit too serious right now for a joke like that. We also put it in the first meeting plan but Ami controlled the pacing of the meeting so much that we didn't have time to give it to her, I feel like re-trying would just be awkward.

Maybe we should reverse the order of this? Picnic would assumr smalltalk and it would be reasonable to do it after we get important thing from our chest.
Also a questions of whether it is a good idea to take the bay option: it was dark last time we did it. Doing this in broaght daylight isn't so secure. Anyone will figure out we're Doing something secret and that will make us stand out more.
Also, if we decide to use the bay way, when settings up security we should ask Ami whether she could detect body parts and/or this bullshit invisible ninja (thus ptobing for abilities)
It was discussed, I noted that there is no guarantee that Jiraiya would be allowed to stay and then the thread just moved leaving idea uncommented

Why wouldn't he be allowed to stay? They have to get on with these gosh darn alliance negotiations.
So, what's the consensus around the Wood release thing? It seems odd that they'd make it public now, for such an irrelevant event, instead of say in the middle of WWnext. Doesn't it also make Shikamaru more of a target than he was before? Kidnapping him to weaken the perceived weakest Leaf clan is one thing, kidnapping him to pierce the secrets of Wood release is another.

Switching them around is a good idea, Hazou's certainly going to want to figure things out ASAP. Not so concerned about being seen on the water, we're already assuming everyone important knows we're 'betrothed' and a walk across the water could be for plenty of non-OPSEC reasons so it doesn't force us to admit anything.
e: switched the wording for water walk before small talk
