Game of the Year: A Naruto Quest

The Daisuke Method of Teacher Acquisition by Dr_Caduceus
Because I owe Vesvius this Omake, I hereby christen these scribbles: The Daisuke Method of Teacher Acquisition

Uzuki Yūgao had been described by many people as a caring and loyal woman who puts herself all into whatever task she set her mind to. However, in this moment, she found herself profoundly irritated. She ran a small calligraphy club that met a few times a month and while it didn't have too many members yet, she was hoping to gather more soon. What left her irritated was that after returning from a rather annoying mission, involving a fish merchant and far to many days spent undercover, she found her favorite calligraphy shop had been bought out of the supplies she needed. Seemingly every piece of beginners gear, from brushes to paper, was missing. She of course had her own equipment, but that would only cover her personal use. If she wanted this club to grow, or even keep the members she had, she would need to find another shop to supply her on short notice.

As she sped away to her new destination, the beginnings of a headache forming, Yūgao couldn't help but wonder who in their right mind would buy an entire store's stock.

A few days later, after finding an overpriced alternative to her usual shop and having salvaged her attendance number for another meeting, Yūgao had found her mystery buyer. Apparently, some civilian woman had decided that her precious brat was taking up calligraphy and blew through the shop like a hurricane, waving her fan and tossing glares like they were kunai. According to the grapevine it wasn't even the first shop she's terrorized in such a manner.

Now she was hiding in some trees near the brat's house, watching him practice his kanji, and asking herself one question over and over.

"Just who is Satomura Daisuke?"

*********************
The basic idea for the snip is Daisuke getting another teacher by his mother inconveniencing high level ninjas and sparking their curiosity. I'll try to write follow ups to this if I can, but this alone took me several days, being that I am such a crap writer.
 
[X] The Horse. Elegant. Adventurous. Graceful.

So I already love Yui's character and want to know more about her. Time to push for her achievement :V

Because it fits with what our character has been up to this point....also I like the look of the seal more.
 
Does putting points in Chakra control improve our ability if we don't rank it up?

I meen, is there a in-story difference between 40 Chakra control and 300 Chakra control?

[X] The Monkey. Intelligent. Witty. Resourceful.

This is the kind of character I'd like to build to. Dragon and Tiger are way too straightforward and orthodox if the description is accurate. I really don't want "destructive" as a base nature of our chakra...

Maybe?

I don't think simple is necessary to get in touch with his chakra, though.

Chakra isn't really visible unless it's highly concentrated, according to the manga, I think, so I doubt that he'd be able to do what Ino did without it.

I'm not too bothered if he doesn't get in touch with his chakra now or isn't able to produce a spark because it'll give him some drive to work for it.
 
Does Yui out do us in our chosen field of quiet intimidating aura of grace? :(

I see Daisuke as cunning, noble, elegant and graceful so Horse just about beats out Dragon and Snake. Plus they seem too generically cool.

So did anyone else notice that Sasuke picked the Tiger sign?

This makes having Daisuke pick Dragon very ironic, when you consider the Asian mytology about the tiger and the dragon.

From an anime logic perspective, we're ticking all the check marks for an epic rivalry storyline.

EDIT:

Hell, the tv tropes definition is actually a pretty good description of personalities of Sasuke and Daisuke.

"...with the tiger lunging straight ahead to bulldoze through his opponents, while the dragon is revered more for patience and wisdom from which he then derives fighting power."

Hmm... even if all the non-Dragon voters started collaborating to have one of their choices win, they still wouldn't have the numbers to beat the Dragon votes. That blows.

I know I'm the one with the least xp here, so probably the least qualified to make a choice, but I was wondering if you all wanted to throw some points together to raise one of our attributes (since we can increase any of them at this point). I'd be willing to use my ten if you guys can agree on something.

Edit: actually, for 390 xp we can get all of our physical attributes to above average, if anyone is interested
We are actually gaining XP in those attributes between updates thanks to Gai's training and the conditioning we do at the academy. For attributes, intelligence might be a better choice since that is increasing a lot slower.
 
why all 120? we only need 100 to rank up, you can put the 20 somewhere else.

Personally I'm uncertain if i should go for one of the jutsu schools (gen/shuriken need only 100 to practiced) or going for chakra control right now (360, but might be more relevant to the update)

We're only 130 xp from the Academy Student reward (swim + genjutsu), 110 if that extra 20 points go somewhere else.
Bluff and Survival are also good candidates but those need 60 points instead of 30 to level.

Would Gai begin to teach Daisuke how to channel chakra to increase speed and strenght after Daisuke manages to tap into his chakra? That's something that probably would increase chakra control gradually.

I will say it again but Shurikenjutsu is a better choice to raise to practiced even if it needs 100 XP since we have an achievement that unlocks when we get it to adept (kenjutsu, the other part is already at adept). Let swim get raised through using it instead.
 
Shame on all of you for not picking rat!
Asian cultures

Main article: Rat (zodiac)
The rat (sometimes referred to as a mouse) is the first of the twelve animals of the Chinese zodiac. People born in this year are expected to possess qualities associated with rats, including creativity, intelligence, honesty, generosity, ambition, a quick temper and wastefulness. People born in a year of the rat are said to get along well with "monkeys" and "dragons", and to get along poorly with "horses".

[X] The Rat. Lavish. Sharp. Intrepid.

Edit: not sure whether to use Survivor or Intrepid. Went with Intrepid for now.
