Vesvius: Hmm, could you elaborate on what kinds of Self-Imposed Challenges could grant rewards? Also, mechanically, how different are Achievements and Self-Imposed Challenges? Because the various "Keep X Motive at X Value" could be seen as Self-Imposed Challenges otherwise.

No. No I could not. If you want to find out, you'll have to experiment.

@Vesvius can we go with "Wait, I want to talk to my mother first"?

You could. But since that would be a very boring and redundant update to write, I'll save you the trouble. If you talk to Mother she will be worried, but ultimately supportive of whatever it is you want to do.

Like, instead of using the Eight Gates as a berserk mode, could you condition your body to accept being in that state constantly

I assume you can do it if you're older. I think I remember the chuunin exam when someone said that the Eight Gates are dangerous for an undeveloped body to use.

Also I think (and this is pure theory crafting) that using the Gates in training isnt that useful unless you have great mastery over your bodys capabilities.

Exercising is tearing ones muscles by a little bit at the time, and the first Gate (Gate of Openings) just make your brain ignore basic survival instincts regarding your body, so it will either not work (when one is too scared of going over their limit), they over reach (do more damage than helpful in training), or do it perfectly where i assume again that you can reach optimum training output faster than normal, but with the same result due to the limitations of healing and recovery.
 
You could condition yourself to first seven, somewhat - even Gai was fucked up from Seventh for a while - but the final one kills by definition.

Self-regeneration techniques, or Senjutsu - assuming you can get it to work with Gates - would probably allow for much silliness in combination with Seven Gates.

Eighth is still bad juju, tho. Unless Senjutsu allows one to close them. Then it might be okay in brief bursts.

Gamer+Naruto
I can only imagine the Overwhelming power already! Though I doubt gamer would bridge the gap between samurai and ninja in terms of power, And being helpless really sucks.

Moms not going to like that we got poached like this but hey, did we ever have any doubts that this is what would end up happening?
 
[X] No. Being a ninja means your life is not your own anymore- and you have other things you want to do than spy for your country.
-[X] "I am sorry, but my first loyalty must always be to my family. So I must decline. Is there any reason we can't be friends though?"

I still want to be a samurai.
 
Vesvius: Would the game track our Self-Imposed Challenges, or would we have to do so personally? Also, would we have to figure it out ourselves, or can we mix-n-match Shinobi & Samurai training? Managing both sounds Achievement worthy.

As grubby a job as being a ninja is, being a samurai is nothing we really should aspire to.

Gai did use the seventh gate A LOT in the war. At that point he probably brought them to Master (maybe even Legendary).

I don't think there is anything LITERALLY impossible in Naruto, but it would take a lot more than normal (or even Gai-level) training to be capable of using the eight gate and not die.
It means using a suicide technique without it being suicide!

Some absurd regeneration technique like Kabuto's or Tsunade's, maybe senjutsu, or some other s-rank jutsu made exactly for that reason. Maybe some special medicine (Tsunade level as well) or, considering the Boruto sequel, some special ninja tech. It would be a feat worthy of Legendary or even Mythical rank. Gai eight gate was, for a short while, nearly the equal of TEN TAIL MADARA, who was definitly mythical level (Divine is probably Six-path Sage level, or maybe even Kaguya. He wasn't that far from it)

You stop.

You stare.

All thoughts of fighting further vanish from your mind. All your lessons are gone like dust in the breeze. Your determination flickers and vanishes as you stare at the true face of your phantom mentor.

And then you have to shield your eyes, because day makes it's triumphant return, conquering the evening that had settled over the forest clearing.

Such is the power of Maito Gai's smile.

GAI! in my heart of hearts i both hoped and knew it would be you! TEACH US GAI-SENSEI!

gates op please don't nerf.

I also wonder how they interact with ninjutsu. They seem to make you produce more chakra for a short while, so it might be possible to use them to empower one's own ninjutsu as well!

I want to see what else is there.
 
Hmm. Will this make those back in Iron feel more comfortable/complacent, seeing as a Shinobi probably can't fight for a position/inheritance there? Will they not have to worry as much about an illegitimate heir?

We have some updates on our character sheet. Right now our Willpower at Simple (410/800). We need to raise our two other mental stats to Simple to get the Armed in a Battle of Wits achievement. Also, our Constitution is at Simple (730/800) so we're about to hit Above Average.

I think we can get the achievement Academy Student (have 12 skills at 'Practiced', including Genjutsu, Ninjutsu, and Taijutsu) in the next year or so. Right now we have Taijutsu, perception, and perform at practiced and acrobatics, climb, sleight of hand, stealth, swim, linguistics, survival, bluff, and diplomacy at student. We need to get Genjustu and Ninjutsu to practiced and 7 of our skills at student to practiced.

I'll be honest if it wasn't Gai I would of said no
