Why currently? Is this likely to change?
What happened to fortune telling. Is it lore? We must know it's Tentens distinguishing feature.
How? Sakura may be an NPC, but she does have agency.Guys, If we go to our check up with Sakura we might be introducing her to med-ninjutsu way before she starts it in canon. There really is not much we can do for Lee until Tsunade comes.
An army marches on its stomach, but a Gov't runs on its red tape. Just keep that one as is and consider that as a non combat skill in the eyes of most its unlikely that most ninja will have it any higher than needed. There needs to be a reason you have so many ninja at near Kage levels of power that don't qualify for running the ninja Gov't. This is a good excuse.I'm still trying to figure out what to do with Bureaucracy though.
Considering that it is up for vote, I think that it is up to us what she does or does not do.How? Sakura may be an NPC, but she does have agency.
Our taking her around is not going to automagically push the med-nin button, and Tenten wouldn't have any IC reason to do so to her.
And even if she did, it took three years to train Sakura to med-nin. I do not see what difference a delay of a month or so would do.
Meantime, Lee is one of Tenten's best friends. And is lying crippled in hospital.
Do you not think she would prioritize finding time to visit him and try to keep his spirits up?
She found time to visit Neji and help him train, and he's someone she might meet in the finals.
We do attempt to play the character within her characterization.Considering that it is up for vote, I think that it is up to us what she does or does not do.
Here's the thing:
We visited Kin, remember?Other characters 'need' us too, namely Kin who is arguably worse off than Lee because she both does not have the human cheer machine that is Might Gai as a mentor but also has no one but us.
I know it's been a while since the last update, but we've spent more time with Sakura and Ino lately than we have with our team members.I just want to spread or attention across our friends. And, to be fair, I could care less about Sakura becoming a med-nin. For some strange reason I have been picturing her with a sword lately. Kenjustu mistress Sakura?
We visited Kin, remember?
Kin has all her limbs, and we did ask Maito Gai to take care of her; say what you will about Gai, but he's conscientious.
And she actually drew Sarutobi's attention, to the point where he made time to visit her.
Yes but she really need a friend!
We made her "change heart" so we can't leave her alone.
Lee is still important but tenten owe kin a home and a family.
He is our friend. Given our job, I am reasonably sure we owe each other lives.
You do. Team Gai didn't have a hilariously catastrophic "Well I guess this is an A-rank now" that Team 7 did, but they did have some nasty C-ranksHe is our friend. Given our job, I am reasonably sure we owe each other lives.
Don't worry mine did too.I have to say that my eyes glazed over when I got a first look at this. I'll take another look in the morning.
These suggests are both quite good, and I'll keep them in mind when I get the full thing up tonight. Probably also take a look at how @FixerUpper is running his thing (which I honestly kinda forgot aboutJust two comments in the meantime:
1)
ANBU is certainly not a category. They get pulled from whatever rank they are into the organization, from at least genin upwards.
Kabuto wasn't even a genin when ROOT recruited him. Sai was Chuunin when we saw him.
You'd be better off putting Cadet/Student as the bottom rank, so you have Cadet/Genin/Chuunin/Jounin/Kage. Or you go with the E/D/C/B/A/S rank structure. Or Copper/Bronze/Silver/Gold/Platinum. Or try for an Asian flavor, and use Rat/Snake/Dog/Tiger/Dragon.
Whichever you prefer.
2) If you are doing this, take a look at the mechanic that FixerUpper grabbed from someone else for his Lunar Quest.
There are ten tiers of advancement in both Chakra and Physique. Each Tier is sub-divided into three ranks: Earth, Heaven and Perfection. So you can have Earth Academy Students, Heavenly Lower Genin and Perfect Upper Genin and so on. No one in-story will refer to each other as such, this is purely to avoid any confusion from having overly similar terms.
Here are the Tiers:
0 - Civilian
1 - Academy Students
2 - Lower Genin -
3 - Upper Genin - Hinata is here. She's a Heavenly Upper Genin in Chakra and Physique.
4 - Lower Chuunin - Neji is here. He's a Heavenly Lower Chuunin in both Chakra and Physique. Most active chuunin are at around his level.
5 - Upper Chuunin - Despite the name, most ANBU and newly minted Jounin are at the upper reaches of this Tier.
6 - Lower Jounin - More experienced Jounin and certain teenage geniuses are at around here.
7 - Upper Jounin - It is rare for shinobi to make it to this level. The Sannin, when they made their name, were only 'Heavenly Upper Jounin'.
8 - Lower S-Rank - Everything above this Tier is considered Kage-level.
9 - Upper S-Rank -
10 - Legendary
In combat, you compare Tiers and Ranks. Opponents with the same Tier but different ranks add +1 auto-success/rank to the combatant with the greater rank. Opponents with different Tiers also count the differences in rank, but double the number of auto-successes per difference in Tier. (A Perfect Civilian fighting an Perfect Upper Genin would have a difference of 6 ranks, and a difference of two tiers, 2^2x6= 24 auto-successes for the upper genin.)
Physique is less formidable than Chakra. In a clash, Physique is always considered 1 tier lower than Chakra and there are many shinobi who do not rely on physique at all (on the extreme end, Sasori of the Red Sand simply did away with having a body altogether, relying purely on puppetry and ninjutsu).
However, increasing your physique permits greater upper limits and faster action. Although genin max out at five dots, each Tier above Upper Genin adds 1 dots to all physical attributes and skills as the new maximum as well as +10 feet to their move action. So the new maximum for physical attributes would be 8 for lower jounin and 12 for legendary shinobi. Chakra Ratings, on the other end, permits access to greater and greater stores of chakra as well as more formidable techniques, many of them exotic and the ability to add a dot to max Willpower per tier, as well as half as many dots per tier for mental attributes.
Finally, any difference in Tier, accompanies a difference in speed. Whether Physique or Chakra, a shinobi is permitted an extra action for each Tier they are at above their opponent. In this case, Physique is not penalized: the two opponents compare their maximum tier and for each tier difference, one additional extra action is permitted. An exception to this rule exists if the difference in tier is equivalent to the difference in rank - aka, a Perfection to Earth, in which case no extra action is permitted.

I think I'll wait until the full thing is up before making any further comments.
Thanks for pushing though anyway. A lot of fics just die out when the author bumps into a scene he can't write quite up to his tastes. Better to push beyond,( even at the price of something like making the MC appear idiotic,) than kill the whole ficAlright, so I know this update is really short, but part of the reason for the hiatus was this whole Hinata segment just honestly wasn't flowing so I wanted to get past it as soon as possible. Hopefully now that that's happened I'll be able to write more easily.
ANBU is not actually a rank, maybe use Special Jounin and extend the Kage instead to make the extra ranks ?[●●●][●●●][●] - [Fresh Jounin] - 300 XP

This makes little sense. I don't get the idea how controlling chakra could be a physical thing. I would have considered a mental thing.
Is that a stand-in for "otsutsuki" ? Please say it is
I would like to vote for Kin, but with noone else on it it'd be a useless voteOther characters 'need' us too, namely Kin who is arguably worse off than Lee because she both does not have the human cheer machine that is Might Gai as a mentor but also has no one but us.
