1. I would still choose Shal in battles, as he could apply autopilot. But when it comes to a higher number of opponents, illumi's needles may work better.

2. What I meant was that he had several chances, but still refrains from battling.

4 and 5 can be more related to fan-fiction, so nothing to discuss here.

6. I would agree as Nobu is more proficient when it comes to swords, noting that he is an enhancer and swords suit this nen category more than transmutation.
