I'd say yes to the staff, if only so Otomo can get a feel for weapon fighting.
But hear me out for the future Anons. Heavy gauntlets. Helps with striking, can block weapons with them and there will be little to no obstruction to making Hand Seals.
Also can fit one or both gauntlets with blades once Otomo is more hardened as a Ninja.
