Gotta agree with lan and Shyguy here. Sakura is probably our best chance at the greatest results. Not to mention it would give us a chance to interact with Sakura for a bit and possibly mend the friendship between the two of us.

As for people's concern that this will ruin our friendship with Ino I think it says a lot that you have that little faith in her. I mean our friendship with Sakura wasn't as strong as with Ino and even Sakura is just at 'Arms length' strain. Maybe don't treat the girl like someone who you expect to betray one of her core principles at the drop of a hat. Because part of friendship is having some faith in your friends.

@Vesvius, after careful consideration I would like to put my 60xp into Charisma. This should leave us just 100 shy of superhuman.

Actually that would leave us 300exp shy of superhuman.
For the current low exp shortlist:
Disable Device: Simple (150/200)
Heal: Simple (200/200) - caduceus.
Yin Release: Tone of Discord: Intermediate (650/750)
Appraise: Simple (100/200)
Beastmastery: Untrained (020/100)
and for skills that people are interested in levelling for other reasons:
Perform: Adept (590/800)
Linguistics: Practiced (250/400)
Disguise: Practiced (250/400)
Reserves: Above Average (980/1300) - achievement
Bunshin no Jutsu (Ninjutsu): Advanced (880/1000)
Henge no Jutsu (Ninjutsu): Basic (350/500)

Well, it certainly will take a while to get 12 more Journeyman Skills- everything at Adept needs somewhere between 300 to 400, with Perform only needing 210.

It would probably be better to focus on Attributes and Techniques for now, plus Chakra Adhesion & Shape Manipulation. While I don't doubt Daisuke will have to fight an adult for the upcoming Boss Fight, the things that'll help most is better Attributes/Techniques/Jutsu Schools.

Nearly all his Skills are Practiced or higher, with Appraise/Device/Heal at Student and Beastmastery + Fuinjutsu at Untrained. Those five ranking up really shouldn't be Majorly Helpful soon, with only Acrobatics/Perception & Daisuke's various Social Skills likely to make a major impact.

All in all, Daisuke's Attributes would give him major bonuses and Mastered Techniques will likely help Daisuke hit above his 'weight class'. Certainly nobody is going to expect his soon-to-be Mastered Bunshin, so that's a surprise element. Plus Daisuke can pull a "I Am Not Left-Handed" if he gets Mastered Tone of Discord and reveals the fan isn't necessary then.
 
I say this without irony: I want to be the next Shogun!

[X] Kiba's right. You need to narrow your search. Instead of just researching the era, you'll focus on one specific thing.
-[X] Focus on the Land of Iron and how it navigated the challenges of the Warring States era

On asking Sakura for help, I don't think we should because focusing is, I think, the right aproach. In my experience, the rule of gold for any investigative project is to never choose too broad of a subject. It is the advice that was actually consistent from every teacher I had.

That said, I don't think asking Sakura for help would get Ino angry at us for it but it does have the potential to fan more arguments among them. Ino's problem is that Sakura is focusing too much in academics when she can actually improve in other things. Sakura's issue is that she thinks Ino is looking down on her because of her focus on academics which is the thing she is good at. So us asking Sakura for help and making her focus even more on studying seems like it would make them argue more since it is the opposite of what Ino wants and the opinion Sakura actually cares about is Uno's.

A Bit Too Much Discord by Enetious (canon)
  • Sidestory
    • @Vesvius Here, have a snippet.

    "Alright, let's try this again…" Daisuke was currently perfecting his precision in his Tone of Discord genjutsu technique with the usual test dummy, Yamanaka Ino.

    "Ready when you are, Dai," said Ino. Daisuke readied his fan to tap out a simple vertigo frequency. *POP*

    … Oh, that wasn't supposed to happen. The fan popped out accidentally, clanging multiple parts of the sword in the process.

    Ino shook a bit, before a single tear ran down her cheek and let out a small smile. A grumble was heard from her stomach and her eyes darted between his left and right.

    "Haha, Dai, why do I feel like I'm happy-sad?" she slurred the last couple words. Maybe it was from the constant exposure and her willingness to allow the effects to take hold upon her, that resulted in this stronger cacophony of effects. She stumbled a bit towards him, and suddenly a projectile lashed out at him.

    Daisuke ducked in preparation before feeling an unexpected wet splosch on his feet. He gagged when the smell hit his nose.

    'Note to self, doing whatever I did makes the target prone to projectile vomiting.' He shuddered before scrapping his feet against the ground to get rid of the evidence before Ino got out of the very momentary effect. Maybe he should tone down the amount of times a day he subjects Ino to his jutsu.

    Ino coughed out a few times, before a look of disgust and fury lit up on her face. She smacked Daisuke on the back of his head.

    "Never… never again do that, Dai, or I'm not helping you with this jutsu anymore." The look she gave him told him that'd be the least of his worries.

    Daisuke raised his head with a shaky smile. "… Fair enough."

    • @Vesvius You know what, here's another.

    Daisuke could feel a bead of sweat running down his head in the area Rock Lee was intently staring him down, scribbling down his every movement in this impromptu spar with Gai-sensei.

    "Daisuke, I'm glad I found you!" Gai popped out of the treeline permeating this training ground. "And I brought a young apprentice whose YOUTH burns brightly!"

    Oh? He supposed it     was about time Lee started learning under Gai-sensei's tutelage. He turned to see two blinding stars obscuring his vision. He backed up a few feet, shielding his eyes.

    "YOSH! My name is Rock Lee, and you must be Gai-sensei's youthful student, Daisuke-senpai!" Lee held out a hand for a handshake with a large, shiny smile and a radiating twinkle in his eyes.

    And so Lee decided to watch him spar with Gai-sensei in order to study his "YOUTHFULNESS" he learned from Gai.

    Daisuke blocked an incoming fist and flung himself past his opponent's side and strike from behind. Gai tends to keep these spars on or just above his level to keep him improving at a steady pace. A loud "Wow!" expelled from Lee's mouth as he watched his counter attack before quickly scribbling down the maneuver into his notepad.

    Gai dodged and round-housed kicked him back a half-dozen feet. Daisuke stood his ground searched for any openings Gai would let him use at this level of Taijutsu.

    "YOSH! Daisuke-senpai, you're YOUTH is amazing!" Daisuke's attention faltered at this outburst and he was rewarded with a backhand which he barely blocked, being pushed away once more.

    "Don't let your surroundings distract you from the fight, Daisuke!" bellowed Gai, as he shot forward once more on the offensive. Daisuke dodged and blocked a few more strikes before countering with a few strikes of his own, a couple of which made impacts against Gai's torso.

    "Ohhh!" Lee was awed at the display of chunin-level Taijutsu before him. Daisuke ducked under a fist a weaved into his opponent's defenses before trying to kick out Gai's feet from under him. Before that could happen Gai grappled both sides of his arms and flung him to the side, skidding across the ground before he righted himself.

    "WHAT AN AMAZING COUNTER TO DAISUKE-SENPAI'S ATTACK, GAI-SENSEI!" Lee has visible tears running down his awed face. Daisuke, whose attention was once more on Lee's display of affection, was promptly kicked into the ground by an overhead kick from Gai. Gai turned around and gave Lee a thumbs up with a glinting smile.

    "One day, Lee, you'll get to this level and surpass it! Fan your flames of YOUTH and give it your all!" Daisuke gave a groan into the ground.

    "Gai-sensei!"

    "Lee!"

    "Gai-sensei!" Daisuke stood back up to see for the first time just what it looked like when they did this. They were tightly embracing with tears streaming down their faces, with what looked to be a shining beacon setting behind them.

    "Lee!"

    "Gai-sensei!" Daisuke sighed and brushed off some excess dirt from his person. Guess this spar's done for today.

    i'm actually tempted. Failure or success it's guaranteed to be interesting.

    Though the idea of having the heir of the (currently) strongest clan in the village as our personal gopher is hilarious (also a bit worrying. Will Hiashi take offense to this?)

    eh, on second thought

    I kinda want to see if we can friendship Kiba or help him, even if he has a crush taking his time to do something for someone else that he might not even get the benefits from, or that he does not care about is really nice of him, and i just want to see more from Kiba in fiction in general since people use him so little.

    Lady and the Tramp by Semi-Autogryro (canon)

    I've been lurking and reading this enjoyable quest. Then omake muse kicked me due to the prompts, and thus this happened:

    The bell above the door rang, alerting the proprietress of the famously exclusive Black Lotus Spa of Konoha that her longstanding Saturday 1:30 booking was right on time as usual. Smiling as she looked fondly at the trio standing in front of her, Izumi Okajima adressed them. "Miss Satomura, Miss Inazuka, and Kuromaru. Welcome back to my establishment."

    Tsume Inazkuka let out a groan as she eased herself into the welcoming warmth of the hot spring to the amusement of her best friend.

    "Yes, Yes. I'm a uncultured brute. I just got back from a an extended mission, so cut me some slack will ya, Manami?"

    The titter from her friend was more of an answer than anything else, so like any good kunoichi she changed tactics and decided the best defense was a good offense.

    "Speaking of that, while I was away your son decided to do something about my brats' manners."

    "Oh? I haven't heard of this from Daisuke. What happened?" Manami asked, the ghost of a smirk on her lips.

    Tsume scoffed. "Which means you already knew about it from Inoichis' daughter."

    Her friends' smirk turned into a vulpine grin as she shrugged, sending ripples across the surface of the water. "Indeed, but because of that, I imagine yours will be significantly more entertaining."

    A sharp bark of laughter was her response. "Ha! Hana is still debating on what to do with the afternoons' worth of work your son promised her, so if you have any ideas..."

    Letting loose a sigh of contentment as the spas' on-staff medical kunoichi massaged her back, Tsume reflected on how the pair had become such good friends. Initially, it was more a begrudging appreciation and admiration from her as she watched the civilian Manami handle the attentions from men of Konaha with the skill many kunoichi would never begin to approach. More than anything else it resembled her families skill with ninken, as with but a word or gesture she could bring them to heel.

    Hell, she'd seen Ibiki Moreno walk straight into a lamp post with a merely a smile and a nod of recognition from Manami as she passed him in the street.

    Later on as their respective brats went to the academy together, they were drawn to each other by dint of being single mothers. It was then she found out that beneath the regal exterior, there existed a woman of keen intellect and cutting wit.

    Her thoughts were interrupted by Manami politely clearing her throat. "Hmm?" she answered, turning her face to where her friend was getting a manicure.

    "I asked where you wanted to go after this. Kuromaru still has some time at the groomers, and it won't take much time to do your nails."

    "Food, maybe? Is there anything you wanted to do Manami?" she idly said before the almost gleeful look on her friends' face made her balk. "No, not that. Please, Manami." She did not shudder. It just got colder in here suddenly, that's all.

    The courtesans' tsk in response made it clear that she was in too deep to escape. "Honestly. You need more in your closet than your uniform. I saw a dress the other day that would look amazing on you..."

    Correction. She was doomed.

    I'm against getting Kairi purely because the vote for it involves letting her draw Yaoi pictures of us. It just feels wrong for Daisuke to be ok with that.
