The Argent-Eyed Heiress (Naruto/Exalted)

[x] He was leaving openings, little things, that she wouldn't be able to reach with her hands, but might with her feet. (Silver Carnival Omnidexterity (Earth))
[x] "I - I - I don't know!" Her eyes shot towards where Naruto and Hanabi were playing, "But I have to - I have to protect my Clan! I have to protect Konoha!"
[x] -should inform Lord Jiraiya."

Silver Carnival Omnidexterity (Earth) gives two extra limbs, not only does that mean double attack rate, but also un-orthodox angle of attack, and limbs with higher strength, speed and endurance (compared to arms). The last bit is cheery on top.
Sudden Snap-Shadow (Earth) seems subpar. Instant action and i always found the chakra limb ridiculously useless, specially when they lock down most magic.
Lightning Hand Presdigitation (Earth), stealth ? idk seems not that great comparatively.


[x] …nevermind."

I'm more interested in this path. Politiks seems boring in the middle therm, if not short. Hero(ine) is same thing as 99% of naruto fics, so ... yeah.

It's better than that, at least later. Hinata has (or can get) long hair. Chakra hair control techniques + this = jyuuken with thousands of limbs. Plus, this should make "full body jyuuken" easier... Actually... @FixerUpper does this make "fullbody jyuuken" easier?

As to the update:
1) Shells - like in the disney cartoon? I'm not sure how to picture this, sorry.

2) So, unintended consequences. A hyuuga eye stolen, from the middle of Konoha. That's a big blow. One that could, potentially, down the road, lead to Hiashi becoming Hokage.

3) I sure hope there are more Hyuuga watching Gaara now. And some Hyuuga watching Hyuuga who watch Gaara. Because when your operative dies when tailing a subject, it's not a reason to stop watching the subject.

4) Orochimaru, or, I guess, Kabuto, with Byakugan is scary. The scariest possibility? It being implanted in Kimimaro, who has the bone release which seems to be Otsutsuki related, with the eye mutating as a result.

5) At least our strength was acknowledged. Though I seriously don't get "they'll hate me for it". Like, at all. Hinata brought a security concern to her father. He sent an operative to investigate. The mission went FUBAR. How is this at all Hinata's fault? Even irrationally.

6) I like this Hanabi. We should definitely train with her and try and recreate the twin jyuuken style.

7) On the paths - committing to any one path is not the best option, I feel. We should advance on all of them. Right now, though, we need to:
a) Not fall to a distraction
b) Be able to fight Gaara
c) Be aware of what's going on.

Did the update eat some of the charm stuff?

Silver Carnival does make fullbody jyuken easier.

Shadow Snap is for chakra arms-lite. Currently debating if a third (full) purchase should let you do so for a scene and mimic beast mode chakra-arms stuff a la SWLiHN's telekinetic suite (Mind-Hand manipulation) that Revlid created.

Lightning Hand Predestigitation is pretty much what it says, it makes your actions harder/impossible to notice.

And yes, the shell's like what Shadow says. Basically grew a giant clam shell.
 
[x] He countered each blow perfectly, letting not a single movement escape his eyes, training her to move with the smallest possible motion, but her silver chakra was endlessly malleable and it sought to escape his gaze. (Lightning Hand Presdigitation (Earth))
[x] "I - I - I don't know!" Her eyes shot towards where Naruto and Hanabi were playing, "But I have to - I have to protect my Clan! I have to protect Konoha!"
[x] -can help."

Before she could do more than try injecting a wisp of her chakra into it, her attention was captured by the fact that Hanabi had somehow gotten Naruto in a headlock and was currently dunking his head beneath water and before she could cry out for her to stop, there was a boomf, and smoke that filled a quarter of the hot springs, and a frog twice the size of Nemugi was blinking in confusion, Hanabi and Naruto still on its back, wrestling wildly next to, of all things, a giant spatula.

Hinata, if you aren't careful, Hanabi is going to steal your spot as Best Girl.


[x] He was staying away, forcing her to double down on her speed focus, teaching her the value of obeying her unthinking reflexes, but it was a question posed that her silver chakra wanted to answer differently. (Sudden Snap-Shadow (Earth))
[x] She carefully did not look at Uncle Taiki. "As the f-future leader of the Hyuuga, I need to be aware of what's happening in Konoha and to Konoha."
[x] -should inform Lord Jiraiya."

Doubling down on Heiress route with these picks. There's a lot of combat monsters but Exalts getting into Bureaucracy and Socials charms is the real nightmare.

Charm pick because of the vain hope that it'll be useful against the Sound 4 barrier, mortgaging against LHP probably being better against Gaara.

TAW Lunars don't have much in the way of Bureaucracy (I think anyway, it's been a while), but their themes mean they can probably shatter it pretty easily over their knees.

But yes, they are horrifying on the Social front. Even if it leans on a far more... Primal nature than any other Exalt's Social theme-ing.

Yeah, it's not Solar Bureaucracy but it's still a thing that even ninja aren't really capable of dealing with heads-up.

[x] She looked down at her feet. "…I - I don't n-need to know. But I will speak at Baiko's funeral and talk to his m-mother."

-We want this charm maxed out asap. People not noticing our attacks? Chakra techniques being unable to notice our attacks? This is huge.

[x] She looked down at her feet. "…I - I don't n-need to know. But I will speak at Baiko's funeral and talk to his m-mother."

-Jiraiya isn't going to be impressed by titles, especially inherited ones, taking actual responsibility for something on the other hand...

[x] -can help."
PATH: Combat. Naruto and Shino will join you in a mission to help deal with the Chakra Orchid infestation in the Forest of Death. Advances the 'Hinata as Heroine' Storyline.

-At this stage we're most useful as bird-hyuuga.

I wouldn't mind either of the other two paths, but Horror has me curious and I want to see where it leads, at least a little.

[x] Even if I c-can't do anything, even if I leave aside my honor and duty as the heiress of the Hyuuga, who will protect her village, clan and friends, he was killed when investigating my opponent. For my safety, if nothing else, so I go into that fight with my eyes open, and capable of seeing underneath the underneath, I need to know.

[x] -should inform Lord Jiraiya."
--[X] I'll leave a bird clone behind, to help in any way I can; my bird shape should be useful here.

Towards Transhumanism , well Shinobi are already superhuman so more Transhuman, Posthuman.

Uh, I might need a more specific definition of this.
IIRC Luna has a huge Domain that can be summed up as "anything not officially covered by someone else", including Possibilities.
So the only things I can think of that would be "outside of Luna's remit in some way" would be Sorcery, Supernatural Martial Arts, and Charms belonging to other splats.

One of the defining features of Exalts is that they are good at everything, irregardless of what type. And anyways, isn't anything that a Lunar does definitionally 'in Luna's remit'? She is the patron of the lunars after all.
wait... Social Jutsu? I didn't think that was a thing, and that being an Exalt would mean that she could outmatch them just as much as she could a non-ninja.
I confess that Hinata horror and hero sounds the most interesting to me, but again, case by case.
How does Hinata's growth potential compare to Naruto and Sasukes?
Will other people have Exalted setting effects such as sorcery and exalted martial arts...
