Also, you guys don't need to pick four if I read things right. It said up to four, not really specifying that you need to pick four.

and the chidori/raikiri is actually a combination of shape manipulation and elemental manipulation.
Chidori was inspired by the rasengan after all.
if you want your techniques to assume a specific form, you need shape manipulation.
wind blades? shape+ element
rasengan? shape
water sword? shape+element
form chakra into an armor? shape
and everything else you can think of.
Tenten actually doesn't seem that good at it yet. And she won't have much time for us anyway.
Also, we HAVE to drop 4 options, and this is one of the least usefull while not being especially easy for us. If the options we choose get extra exp, Shurikenjutsu is one of those most people care less about.
true, but the tally will count the 4 options with more votes so...
I go by exclusion, removing from the list those we're already good at, those that would need little work, and those we'll find more usefull later on.
[] Bunshin no Jutsu
for the achievement, probably synergizes with ninjutsu. Relatively weak technique, but it's one of the few we have access to and it can be usefull for distracting our opponents. It's also not that far from Intermediate, and having it at basic it's like not having it at all in my opinion.
[] Chakra Control
We just got it to superhuman, and shape manipulation might count as not-academy taught
[] Genjutsu
we're too good at it, it's simply easy. We just need a jutsu to show our talent
[] Henge no Jutsu
Always usefull, for the achievement, basic is like not having it so we need to bring it to intermediate at the very least
[] History
[] Mathematics
mnemonic perk makes them easy, and they probably train intelligence. If i had to drop one of the two i'd drop Mathematics though
[] Ninjutsu
Not our best skill, but still good, synergizes with the academy 3 and usefull to every ninja (except Lee
)i mean, it's in the name!
[] Outdoor Survival
it's never been our focus. We can bring it up once we're genin and we actually need it, or with omake exp if we want the adept rank.
[] Shurikenjutsu
We brought it to adept mostly for the achievement AND because basic competence in it is good, but it will never be a focus of ours. We can drop it for now
[] Stealth and Tracking
Never been our focus, other options are more important

That'd be a lot of chakra expended for something you can replace with normal armor...
It's already confirmed that it does not count by itself. He'll have to show some actual techniques

Chakra armor wouldn't slow us as much as heavy armor though, and might be stronger.
It would be like a jinchuriki's cloak, the raikage's lightning mode (without lightning, but can add an element later) or a mini-susanoo.
And yes, I know these are extreme examples. IF we ever went for a technique like these it would require pinnacle chakra reserves, very high level shape manipulation and who knows what else. It's just something to consider for once we're elite jonin level or higher

Well, that will probably come up in the next update then, for the not-academy-taught skills
Kenjutsu+shape manipulation= flying slashes maybe? Or maybe we can try chakra flow

It would drain our reserves pretty rapidly since you want to create a solid wall of chakra around our entire body, and for something as simple as armor.
The Ninja already have armor anyway, it's those green jackets they all wear. For other examples of armor you could look to Madara, Hiruzen, Tobirama and Hashirama. They are not slowed down in the least, and I doubt those bamfs were training to be Taijutsu masters in peak condition.

I'm sorry, but is no one going to talk about the fact that one of our best friends is holding us at arms length?

i also doubt that armor would stop much more than a kunai, or some glancing blows. a chakra armor, or chakra cloak if you prefer that name, would protect against ninjutsu as well if strong enough. maybe even genjutsu (if enemy's chakra can't go beyond it to enter our brain)
And nothing stops us from having BOTH.
And, as i said, it's an idea for after we gain pinnacle reserves. It doesn't even have to be a "constantly on" technique, it might be something like the hyuga's kaiten instead. just without the rotation. A last second "expel chakra to protect yourself" technique.

It's fine, friends fight all the time. Also, arm's length is still pretty close. Sakura's arms aren't that long if I recall.
So what, you just want us to fart out enough chakra to cover our entire body whenever something comes at us? I wouldn't recommend relying on it, it's too damn expensive and very niche in its use.

whenever something comes at us? no
whenever something we can't dodge comes at us? maybe
It can also work for intimidation. Oh, look, your pretty little kunai are bouncing off of me! how cute! Why don't you surrender?
if the alternative is injury or death it's certainly an acceptable cost. Niche doesn't mean useless after all.

If you weren't being a useless pedant, you'd acknowledge that the phrase "at arm's length" is metaphorical and not literal. It's not "still pretty close". Dismissing people's concerns with this absurdity isn't witty or clever, it just shows you're an asshole with no actual concern for the matter at hand being discussed.

Any enemy that would surrender due to Kunai not working isn't worth the chakra expenditure.
If we're getting hit then we're doing it wrong or fighting an enemy that is much stronger than us. Oh sure there could be the lucky shot by some low ranker I guess, but then we're just being careless.
This is not me saying the technique is useless mind you, I'm just laying out my thoughts on the matter.
What'd I ever do to you, bud?
So? Friendships can be mended, and this is just a little roadbump.
As for the rest of your rant, I'm just being optimistic. I ain't insulting you or throwing mud.
