There's no guarantee Fu has never left the village. B wasn't supposed to, but he did. Besides, what's the point of having a Jinchuriki if you never use it. As dangerous as Gaara was, he had a B-rank mission under his belt before the Chunin Exams, Naruto as well. With Naruto as the obvious exception, most villages treat the Bijuu and their hosts as one would expect, as war assets. So it's likely Gaara would see a pattern in Fu's mission history and the fact that her 'team' are actually a couple of Jounin in disguise.

As for Shira, I liked all of his moves, like the soft style attacks, the Silent Fist, I just wish there was more different with his Seven Heavenly Breaths. Not remove it all together, hell, even keep the red skin given the idea of absorbing more oxygen etc., but generally do more to differentiate it from the Eight Gates.

If there was one thing I didn't like, it was his thing about the last battle and going to be stationed up North, that's being put on a bus if I ever seen it, and it's not like anyone would've been asking themselves after this "Whatever happened to that Shira guy? Why wasn't he around for Gaara being kidnapped etc?"
