You do realize Rin had a daily routine of using her blood to transfer energy to store it in jewel, and did so for over ten years? So I'm not seeing how there is any issues of it being ooc.
There's pricking yourself for a drop or two of blood and then there's letting someone bite you and permanently scarring you.

Memories are important. Want to lock them in before fading starts
 
Guys, our mother is getting suspicious due to our exceptional capacity for speech already. Improving it further is not the way to go right now.
 
No. I mean the comprehension. It's easy enough for newborns to mimic speech they heard.

To comprehend what is being said though? That's nowhere near normal.

She is not quite a newborn though. She is nearing five months of age (timeskip).

On the other hand, our father, Suiho (or, rather, Suihou/Suihō) is used to some Uchiha developing like that. WoGm/head-canon, Itachi first spoke (edit: coherent words, too!) slightly earlier than us and could understand simple sentences at not-yet-six months.

Edit: Korin, as an 'outsider', did not have much contact with the clan head and his family. She might have known Mikoto in passing, but that's mainly because of Kushina, and the latter hadn't seen Mikoto in a while at the time Itachi was born in my head-canon.

So he's just praying for the 'not another Itachi' aspect.

Mom seems to be suspecting something. Not sure what though.

Mom might not be sure herself. :p

As for the first part of your post, I think that was already obvious in-story.

Is this quest going to go through Rin Tohsaka's entire infancy, or will there be an (imminent) timeskip to the part where the ninja stuff happens?
 
There will be at least one timeskip soon.

'Improve your speech' won over on SB easily, so it wins overall over climbing the crib.

Story 4
"Rin, it's feeding time," your mother says, and you secretly blanch.

After you drink your mother's milk (what? It's healthy), she starts rocking you to sleep, but you can tell something is up with her. You decide to show your appreciation for having a living and healthy mother, so you say, "love Mama," with all your heart.

Korin looks at you and your (probably toothless) grin and sighs a bit. Still, you can tell that whatever troubled her has eased, or at least been left for later. She says, "Love you too, Rin."

Your reputation with Uchiha Korin has gone up! E -> E+

As she leaves, you-

Luck check! You need D- for early activation. You pass!
Chakra Sensory (C+) turns into Mind's Eye of the Kagura (D+)
Mind's Eye of the Kagura:
A Chakra sensing technique unique to a very small number of the Uzumaki clan, so rare that it might as well be another bloodline
+Allows for Sensing without molding Chakra; without even having one's Chakra unlocked
+Actively suppressing your Chakra does weaken this skill to non-existence while the suppression is going on
+Allows for near-Byakugan levels of awareness at higher levels
+Can tell others' Chakra's 'qualities'; can also use to detect lies and fear through small fluctuations in Chakra
(This ability is the closest to Negative Emotions Sensing one can get without being a Bijuu or container)
+The maximum range at the highest levels can be like a high-end Byakugan

…You realize that your mother is still conflicted, but you can't tell how you know. It's like having a new sense, kind of like when you detected Prana in your previous world.

'Shit, it's exactly like that,' you think. It was like you had an extra pair of eyes, then and now.

After your mother replies and you discover some sort of sensory technique, you go to sleep. When you wake up in your crib, you decide to improve on your speech. So, you start doing various simple vocal exercises, as well as repeat various words you have heard.

Can now say simple sentences. Your Intelligence has gone up partway. A- -> A- (1/10 of the way through A rank)

After that, you decide to meditate on your previous life's memories.

You are in the Clock Tower, talking to your master.

"Master Zelretch," you say, "what is it you want me to do now?" Respectfully, though not completely without sass.

The old vampire shakes his head and says, "just rest for now, Rin; you've earned it. When I took you on as apprentice, I did so for your potential and the potential entertainment of the bickering between you and Luviagelita, but you surpassed all my expectations when you recreated the Jewel Sword, even if I know you had serious help."

"…Please don't tell anyone," you say, almost… begging?!

"Of course, of course," Zelretch says dismissively, "I wouldn't want your prospective husband getting too much attention of the wrong kind."

"He's not my-! Never mind - thank you, master Zelretch," you say, grateful.


What- what the hell did you just watch…? You must have been well into your twenties then, maybe even early thirties. This goes far beyond surviving Herakles!

…Weren't you barely seventeen when you died? The seed of doubt enters your mind. If you lost about a decade of memories, how many more years are out of your reach right now? For all you know, you might even be a True Magician already!*

Progressed Mission 'What's in a Memory?': 2/? You have reached the limit so far. Too many memories will overwhelm your infant brain (literally!).

For the next several months, you concentrate on training (pick 2):

[](Train) Physical development
[](Train) Learning to read
+The alphabet of kanji is subtly different here, enough to cause you problems
[](Train) Sensory technique
-[]On your own
-[]Ask someone else
+Who?
--[]Write-in?

You also concentrate the most on socializing (as much as that can happen at your physical age) with (pick 2):

[](Social) Shisui
[](Social) Nanako (Grandma)
[](Social) Suiho (Dad)
[](Social) Korin (Mom)

*Ye of little faith, here's the way Rin will use True Magic. Nobody noticed THIS little loophole. Nobody can GET a True Magic in the Narutoverse. If they have it already, it's different…. >:-D

I highly advocate learning to walk. Not so much for training, as so much for being a little terror on two feet.

Also advocating Dad option cuz we haven't done that one yet.

-[X]Ask someone else
--[X] Mama

Since its an Uzumaki technique, she'd know best and synergy with mom social.

Also we need to catch up on movement.

You know what? Sure, why not? I'm editing the post now.
What changed your mind? Also, we got a temporary full rank up in luck in the previous update. Did the luck check use that up?

Unrelated note on my questions:
DarkGamer98 said:

Cross post from SB. My logic is simple. We haven't spent time on Dad's social link yet. We need to get moving to be a tiny terror that strikes fear in all parents hearts. As for reading over sensing? Reading is more immediately useful than sensing will be so we can wait on that until we have the basics of reading down.
