Tohsaka as an Uchiha Quest (Naruto/FSN)

Stats have soft and hard caps. The soft caps are the reason why you need more effort as the stats go higher.

So, if a Trait removes the soft cap, diminishing returns in training are barely there, too.

Stats go from F- to F to F+ all the way to A+.

Then we have A++ and A+++.
S- goes all the way to S++++.
Then we have EX, which goes from slightly above all the way to Sky-high, Are You Even Human, then BEYOND HUMANITY.

An example of EX BEYOND HUMANITY is 19-year-old Naruto's Chakra reserve, adult Sasuke's Speed, adult Itachi's Dexterity, the Third Raikage's Strength etc.

Canon Naruto stats from the early Databooks compare like this:

0.5: ~F, 1: ~E-, 1.5: E+~D-, 2: D+, 2.5: C, 3: B-, 3.5: A-~A+, 4: A++~S-, 4.5: S~S++, 5: S+++~EX Slight

Bonuses to training and/or a skill go from Slight, to Mild, to Moderate, then High, Great, Colossal, Beyond Colossal, Sky-High, Are You Even Human and BEYOND HUMANITY.

Usually, the highest bonus is the most important.

Getting a high level (like a 'Colossal' one) bonus to actual combat rather than a single skill or only training is a rare thing, and will be highly situational (example: fighting a Bijuu will boost EVERYTHING thanks to your origin).

Stats themselves:

Ninjutsu&Magecraft keeps you from leveling up certain skills past a certain point if it's not high enough. It is raised when you manage certain feats, like beating strong enemies using ninjutsu. You are still at a point where Ninja Academics can also aid you, because studying Chakra Theory with a knowledgeable person might raise this stat. Higher level skills (Eg. A ranked jutsu) are more restricted than lower ones (like, say, an E-rank jutsu).

Taijutsu is a stat that rises along with your Taijutsu styles. It is a measure of how well you can improvise and reverse engineer martial arts moves.

Genjutsu&Mental Interference shows how good you are at resisting mental influences, and allows for faster assimilation of illusionary skills.

Strength is one's base physical strength. All kinds of Reinforcement skills can boost your strength temporarily, also depending on your Chakra Control. To boost it permanently, simply train in it, though nobody in your family had high physical strength (even Shisui was only decent (for an average Jounin)), so don't expect much.

Speed encompasses a lot of things. Reaction speed, movement speed and such. It is raised by dodging drills, running drills and combat experience.

Chakra is your reserve of Chakra, simply enough, and all ninjutsu and genjutsu consumes some of it. It can be raised by using up most of your Chakra, then resting properly. Also raised through studying and stamina drills because it is composed of Physical Energy and Spiritual Energy. Because of one growing physically and gaining life experience, you can gain Chakra by simply existing when you are young (as long as you eat properly).

Intelligence goes up through studying. There is no wisdom stat, because your actions depend on your choices.

Dexterity&Flexibility go up through calisthenics, aiming drills and such. A high D&F stat is a requirement for a lot of skills, and affects one's performance in taijutsu significantly

Chakra Control is also a requirement for many skills to level up. Certain skills (e.g Genjutsu, Medical Ninjutsu, high level ninjutsu) more than others. It also makes most ninjutsu more powerful and less wasteful.

Luck rises whenever Rin does something that is particularly 'In-Character' thanks to the players' choices, or with good Canon Omakes. It can also rise temporarily, with Semi-canon Omakes. It can also be lowered when the players go OOC repeatedly and/or for a particularly long time. It helps when you fail to learn/awaken a skill, especially when you might need it, and in some other situations

Every stat can rise in life-and-death combat (unless the opponent doesn't put up much of a fight) except maybe Luck.

While you weren't introduced to the rest of the clan on your birthday, a celebration unique to the Uchiha clan was held a month or so after it; you were shown off to the rest of the Uchiha clan then.

You remembered Shirou, who was 'born' on the spring equinox*, this very day, and shed a few tears. Then, you steeled yourself and went on to face the music.

There were a lot of adults, and you were expected to greet all of them. Still, you bore with it, even if you disliked some of them on sight; you are an excellent actress, after all. You made sure to leave a lasting impression on them.


Elder Arkidi tried to provoke you by making sexist comments (or he's naturally like that. You aren't sure which is worse), but with your newfound self-control, you do not react. Nor do you laugh at his name, though that takes even more self-control.


On the other hand, Arkidi picked up on your amusement, apparently, because he stormed off rather suddenly at some point. He wasn't seen at the celebration since.


-----

You study Sealing Theory with your grandmother, as well as ninja history. She is the foremost Master on the Uchiha style of Fuuinjutsu, and one of the few who are recognized as experts on History in the clan.


You also train with your mother. She mainly focuses on Sealing.

She says, "I think you've learned enough of the theory, Rin. Now, it's time to make an actual Seal."

You shudder in anticipation. Your mother has you make a seal that will activate a weak, very small barrier. She gives you her own work on this seal as a reference. Unfortunately, no two people's seal work can be the same; one can't just copy another's seal.

You are very careful about how you do it; however, Sealing is as much an art as it is a science, and you are a being of logic; right? Right! …Or, that's what you tell yourself.


She also helps you train on sensing people; you progress a bit. You now can tell when someone is lying to you by the feel of their Chakra, and your range when you actively focus is most of Konoha.


Your mother is really proud of you, and it shows.

She says, "Rin, you have really improved recently. I know I often keep from praising you, but I can't keep silent any longer. I'm so proud of you, my baby!"

You make a token protest on being called a baby, but you- no, you don't like being smothered like that!


You also spend a lot of time with Suiho, Shisui and Nanako. Shisui tells you about his experiences as a ninja and promises to help you with your hand-seals a bit.


At one point, you catch him holding a leaf in his hand and glaring at it. You say, "nii-chan, what's going on? Do I have to worry over your sanity?"

He starts. Shisui turns to look at you, then says, "huh, Rin? Have you learned how to suppress your presence?"

"Moron!" You snap at him, "you were simply not paying attention. That could get you killed one day!"

Shisui doesn't have anything to say to that. He does reference your previous comment, though. He says, "what was that about doubting my sanity?"

"I haven't seen you glare at a Leaf (Konoha) before. Are you having shaky loyalties?" You say.

Shisui flinches. Then, he straightens up and says, "I would sooner die than betray the village or the clan. And if I absolutely had to choose between the two, I would kill mys- never mind, sorry."

Shisui's outburst has terrible scenarios enter your mind, but you snap out of them and say, "I'm sorry, nii-chan. I shouldn't have questioned your loyalty," rather contrite.

"…It's okay, Rin. I overreacted," he says, "would you like me to explain what I'm doing?" He then says, cheerful again, though the darkness hasn't fully left his eyes.

He shows you how he's trying to shrink a leaf with his Chakra. "I'm trying to learn a third element, the Lightning Element, to be exact," he says.

He's been trying to manage this exercise for the past month and a half, apparently. You pick up a leaf of your own and try it.


You put a lot of time into shrinking the leaf; it takes you twenty-five days to even shrink it a bit and another three to do it fully, but you don't stop there; you try to use your Chakra to make a cut tree branch into a conductor, without hand-seals. This is an exercise of your own devising.


When you next see Shisui (he was busy with 'clan duties'), he tells you that he has completed the exercise. "and it only took me three months or so!" He says.

"What do you mean 'only'? It took me twenty-eight days to shrink a leaf!" You say.

"What," Shisui says flatly.

You show off the exercise after taking hold of a leaf. Then, you show him how much you have progressed in turning a tree branch into a conductor of electricity, though it takes you a lot of Chakra and is still not perfected.

Shisui is silent. He finally says, "I didn't expect this. You're probably Lightning-natured - otherwise, you should have taken a much longer time at your level of Chakra reserves and Control. Why don't you try burning a leaf instead, to gauge how good you are at the Fire element?"

You do as he says, and pick up a leaf again. This time, you try to turn it into ashes.

It takes you a bit more than three weeks to manage it. After you manage that, you decide to make your Fire element more controlled, so you try to make various shapes on leaves using the Fire element, like circles, a cut along the stem, a triangle and such.

Unfortunately, while making shapes with your Chakra has been possible with a lot of work, maintaining them is extremely hard for you.

You have tried and make sure NOT to burn yourself in the process, nor let the fire spread elsewhere, but you've only succeeded in the latter; you took care of your burned hands yourself, but your grandmother noticed - she did nothing except check your work, commend you on your medical skill and quiz you on first aid, though.

'I was faster in picking up the Fire element,' you think, 'is it because I have had experience with it in my previous life?'

"So, your brother told me that you're a Lightning affinity. Would you like to show me?" Suiho tells you.

"I'm not a Lightning affinity, but sure," you say.

Then, you two go to a training ground and you show him a near-completed branch-electrifying, seal-less exercise.

"That's impressive," your father says, "ve- very impressive, in fact. Why do you think you aren't Lightning-natured?"

Wordlessly, you burn the branch without hand-seals, but make sure to keep the flame controlled, so you keep two ends of the branch intact and the grass of the training ground unaffected.

Suiho looks seriously taken aback. He opens and closes his mouth, then says, "that's… even more impressive. How long did it take you…?"

"It took me twenty-three days to burn the leaf, and about two weeks after that to burn a branch," you say.

Suiho urges you to try to dehydrate and cut a leaf, as well as cover one in soil with only your Chakra, but keep it secret, even from your mother, only to surprise her later.

(He most likely is afraid that you'll tell someone. Is being an Average One so rare here, that he has to take such precautions?)

It takes you three months or so in total for all of those, some taking longer, some less time (dehydrating the leaf, the Water exercise, took the least time: eighteen days; it might be easier because you now have more Chakra, thus can practice longer).

Afterwards, your father asks you what Chakra Control exercises you've done.

"Chakra Control… exercises? Do you mean something like burning a leaf?" You say.

"So my mother hasn't told you?" He says and shows you something called the Leaf Concentration Exercise.

"Ah, sticking something to my body," you say, "I've done that, with a spoon."

"Show me," your father says.

So, you stick the leaf on your forehead and keep it there… and keep it… for hours, until you're very tired.

Suiho says, "stop! That's enough. Any more, and you risk being laid out with Chakra exhaustion."


Your father promises to teach you the three Academy jutsu -and maybe some Taijutsu- soon after your fourth birthday, which comes soon, but you don't have time to do anything but shake hands of adults during it.

At some point, your parents take you to a park to find other children to play with. You seriously doubt any of them will be good company, but it's nice to be outside the Uchiha compound. You sense for anyone your (physical) age, and get multiple results.

One's Chakra feels… familiar, and is extremely bright and refreshing like the sunlight after a cold night. Unfortunately, a shadow is covering that sunlight similarly to an eclipse, like the boy is depressed or angry or something. You'll call this boy 'Shadowed Sun'.

Another boy's Chakra feels rather animalistic, but incomplete, as if his soul is missing something. Not in the way someone who mutilated his soul would, but like he is missing his soul-mate, as cliché as that sounds. This will be the Half-Soul.

There's also a girl who responded to your Chakra as if she's a budding sensor herself. She is radiating genuine confidence, which is rare at this age. You are going to call her 'The Blooming Sensor'.

You go towards-

[]The Shadowed Sun
+This boy feels very familiar and more important than Shisui and Sasuke combined, somehow
+

[]The Half-Soul
+You get a sense of… something. Loyalty? Steadfastness?

[]The Blooming Sensor
+Flowers?
