[X] Ino's not saying much about her issues with Mariko and her friends, but that doesn't mean you haven't noticed them. Ino is your best friend and this is pissing her off. You should help. Somehow.
on second thought Gai's training wouldn't be that good for Ino right now, and we don't need extra (taijutsu) training.
Good news is, if we end up doing girly things with her maybe that will raise our appearance

[X] It's been a while since you went out into Konoha and just looked for new quests. Most of what you do is old repeating quests that you found ages ago. There's got to be some new stuff out there. Time to find it!
I feel like actively trying to help Ino with this won't be much more of a help than what we're doing already (i.e. just being her friend). Of the other votes, I'd prefer aiming for the top but this one looks more likely to win.

[x] Ino's not saying much about her issues with Mariko and her friends, but that doesn't mean you haven't noticed them. They're being petty, and there's no better revenge than living well! Help Ino leave those girls in the dust by studying together and training with Gai Sensei!
Helping Ino regain her worthless old friends from the original isn't what she needs. We should be helping her get swole instead, and then help her get new, better friends once she's swole enough, and has utterly demonstrated her superiority.

I'm fine with not being first for now. It's still early days, and we can transfer our chase for first into a rivalry with Sasuke once his entire family gets murdered.

Ino has noticed that they are petty though, so helping could either mean that Daisuke helps her get over it or try to mend her relationship with them.
Daisuke should not try to force his specific version of help on Ino.
He should just ask what he can do to help and do whatever that is.

This sounds like fanon. I doubt Yamanaka are unable to learn taijutsu because of their clan jutsu. if anything that would be a chakra control issue if it exists at all.

While we probably should just learn it from a teacher, figuring out chakra ourself (possibly with minor assistance from books) would be so much more interesting!
Also that sort of deduction and/or experimentation is liable to get us an achievement or two.

I'm realizing how much of an issue shooting for number one in the class is. Like, yes, aspire for as much as we can feasibly achieve, but #1 implies a variety of skills we simply don't have the time to spec into. We Taijutsu main, and while having a degree of utility is fine, it's a bad idea to split off too far at this point. We noted that in particular, Sasuke wasn't superior to us in Taijutsu. This says nothing of Ninjutsu, or academics; fully aware Ninjutsu is less likely a concern given chakra at this age, but he's got some other stuff to use, like shuriken training and the like.
Currently, I'd rather focus on our primary abilities so that we have something to throw at people that can actually do significant damage. Which as of now, seems to be Taijutsu. We have the most time to develop that now anyways, without any chakra, and hopefully we're given a teammate who has a fair amount of academic know-how, which while we shouldn't forgo, I believe we shouldn't prioritise.
Those were my thoughts on the matter though. I don't want to get a big head and risk wasting time by trying to drift too far into other fields that may not suit our playing style, simply so we can say we were Rookie of the Year . . . which is actually probably an achievement if I'm thinking about it. Crap.

It looks like we mostly just have to beef up on Academics if we want to reach first.
It is branching out a little, but in a relatively minor way that will serve us well (since we'll have a good basic knowledgebase).

I think branching out enough so that we can have a decent education is all well and good, it's the part where we compete with Sakura and Sasuke that such a thing poses an issue. It's not really time well spent, and we know Sasuke covers a multitude of fields by the end of the academy. I don't wanna constantly be playing catchup every time he seems to one up us in a given category.
