[X] [CHAKRA CONTROL] Everyone still does the Leaf Spinning exercise for training but most only use one leaf. What if you used a dozen? That would look impressive, and be a great workout too!
[X] [GENJUTSU] You've had an idea for a Genjutsu for a while. It involves your sword, your fan, and hitting just the right note. Creating a technique from nothing is a tall order, but you've done harder things!
[X] [HENGE] What's the most important thing about transformation? Being able to do it flawlessly. You'll stand and transform over and over, until you can assume the appearance of everyone in your class seamlessly.
[X] [HISTORY] It's hard to believe, but there was a time before Hidden Villages. You can't really picture it, but old tales from those days have survived. You want to know more. You'll assemble a presentation on the time before villages, the Warring States era, and present that to the class.
[X] [MATH] An important part of Shinobi Math is calculating areas and distances at a glance. And you know what would show off your mastery of that? Designing the perfect trap layout. You'll make one on graph paper and then recreate it during a spar.
[X] [NINJUTSU] You have chakra, and you know how to enhance your body with it. You also have a sword. There should be a way for you to put those two things together- and if not, you can make one.

Hello, ladies, look at your man, now back to me, now back at your man, now back to me. Sadly, he isn't me, but if he stopped using kunoichi scented body wash and switched to Old Spice, he could smell like he's me. Look down, back up, where are you? You're on a boat with the man your man could smell like. What's in your hand, back at me. I have it, it's an oyster with two tickets to that thing you love. Look again, the tickets are now diamonds. Anything is possible when your man smells like Old Spice and not a kunoichi. I'm on a tortoise.

I heard Daisuke once had a sword stop inches from his face. Not because the enemy ninja pulled it, but because the world itself refused to mar his appearance.

I am scared at the memery that has resulted from the Attributes. Take 150 XP and know that I know fear.Did some playing around with muscles today.
Don't really think you have enough there for a full Omake. Funny exchange, sure, but not an actual excerpt or short. So no XP for you this time.

HERETIC! I knew you were here somewhere Isaiah Mustafa! But this belongs to me, TERRY CREWS!
fair enough, BTW I tried writing the description for the perk, might be to large though and I couldn't really think of a good name.
What lead me to thinking of the perk was some vague half remembered story of a famous prince who had the same thing, to the point where even years after he'd served in the marines he could pick a soldier he'd met once out of a line up, name the guy and ask him about how his kids were doing.
Point is remembering peoples names/faces is a great way to inspire loyalty as mooks will feel like they have a personal relationship with you instead of just being lorded over whilst you sit on your high horse.
Another reason is that in a noble's court you have to know everyone, who knows who, who's indebted to who, etc. this kind of specified memory training has long been a staple of any effectively trained courtier and Daisuke's mother would have likely taught him this.
people and Faces.
Description: A copious amount of time spent learning noble behaviour, etiquette and mannerisms has taught you many different things, one of which is to always remember someone's name, face and try to at least remember a few important details about them.
Effect: Bonus to socialising due to people feeling as if they are important to you, never forget someone's face or name, usually remember some major facts about them (E.g. Has a son/is a tailor/is in the bingo book/likes flowers)

Two Hour Warning!
Also, since I'm thinking of Omakes, I've had a few requests for prompts from people in discord. After five seconds of careful consideration, I agree. So when I feel the vote is drawing to a close, I'm going to post up prompts of things that I personally would like to read. Omakes that fill these prompts will be judged more critically- but they'll earn more XP, and likely be canon. Here's the first batch now:
Hope these help serve as inspiration to any interested parties. Can't wait to see what you guys come up with!

Daisuke doesn't quite understand why all his male classmates are suddenly so eager to team up with him on group projects, especially those that they have to work on at home. But when Kiba comes over he realizes the truth: puberty is hitting everyone like a truck, and everyone can agree that Daisuke's Mom has got it going on.
We saw what happened with Daisuke after he retrieved his fan from Naruto. But what happened to Naruto after that? And what did he tell the people at the Ramen Stand when they asked how the prank he was so proud of yesterday went?
Konoha's R&D has seen a lot of strange things over the years, and they can find an explanation for all of them. All save one. They've yet to find out how these straw dummies keep appearing! There's no residual chakra. There's no signs of movement on any thing! There's just... dummies! This is the story of the one researcher who can not, will not give up! He will find the answer!
When Sakura stormed off, Daisuke stayed behind to support his best friend Ino. But Hiruma Jabari did not. He followed after the other girl. What happened when he caught up with her?
Hope these help serve as inspiration to any interested parties. Can't wait to see what you guys come up with!

Yes it does. No more XP will fit.

He had to admit to himself, though he'd never admit it to anyone else, he froze when he felt the arm go around his shoulders. While uncommon, it wasn't something that never happened. The difference in this case was that the offender was always Ino. Having the poofy sleeved jacket of Kiba tossed around his shoulders was an enitrely new experience.
"Wanna kick the ass of this group project?" Are the actual words that accompanying the offending gesture.
You take a moment to compose yourself before looking side eyed at the genin in training. "Why me?"
He blinks, seemingly confused at the lack of an immediate yes, before responding. "Because... you're a cool dude?"
You nod slightly. "This is a true statement, yes. However, we've rarely so much as had a conversation. I'm just a little confused at this sudden interest." It had been an unusual few months. Someone new, someone that you rarely engaged with at that, would try and team up with him. You'd done a group project with more of the boys in his class, and some of the girls, than anyone else. Sakura had been very insistent that you help her with that chakra control exercise awhile back, despite being better than you at the time. It was a veritable cornucopia of social interactions. You'd be pleased with the progress towards some of your goals (and friendships, he supposed) if you had any idea at all at what the hell was going on.
Kiba's shoulders slumped and he took a moment to think it through. He looked around before leaning in as though he were confiding. "I'm going to be honest, man. My grades have been slipping, and you're the smartest guy in class. I could use the help."
"I appreciate the vote of confidence, but Shikamaru..."
He shakes his head slightly. "Sorry. Smartest, useful guy in class. You ever work on a project with that guy?"
You think back and nod. Interestingly, he was one of the few that hadn't bothered trying to team up with you. If people were just using you for your brain, him being one of the odd men out would fit the pattern.
"Explains some things..." You grumble, but mostly in good nature. "I suppose I can help you, but you'll have to pay up."
"Yeah yeah, I guess that's fair." He laughs, and breaks the old on you. "What were you thinking?"
It took you a moment to actually think about that. Getting some training at something he was better at than you would be a good exchange, but frankly...there wasn't much. Obviously he smoked you when it came to animals, but you weren't super enthusiastic to learn that. You think over some of your recent projects before coming to a conclusion.
"Grunt work." You reply calmly.
"Grunt work?" He replies with a raised eyebrow.
"I'm researching the Warring states Era. You can save me a bit of time by filling me in on what you know, poking your family for what they know, and maybe cracking open a book or two."
"Well, I don't know much myself, but my sister was interested in it when I was younger. I can put together some notes for you..." He shrugs. "If you want me to crack open any books, though, gonna need you to promise me partnering up for your next project too." He gets something of a predatory look on his face. "Hell, you partner with me for the rest of the semster and I'll be happy to do all of your research grunt work. Hell, need a training dummy for some shit? I gotcha."
You nod thoughtfully. Having a dedicated assistant would certainly greatly increase your ability to get things done in time to secure rookie of the year.
Something was giving you pause, however. The source of that pause was how closely most of the boys and some of the girls in the class were paying very close attention to the conversation.
"Satomura-san." The person you least expect, Shino, interupts your haggling. "If it's information on the warring states you're interested in, I believe I can provide more assistance than Inzuaka-san. I believe I could be of more assistance on the actual projects as well. If you were to agree to partner with me for the rest of the year..."
"No." Color you a liar, Shino was not, in fact, the last person that you expected to involve himself in this conversation. Sauske has stepped up to the plate. "There's no way that you can excel at that project without a Uchiha's input."
While Kiba looks confused, likely due to his level of actual knowledge of the topic, Shino slightly tilts his head, acknowledging defeat, before stepping away. Dude just had a cool you couldn't work for, and you admired that. Kiba catches on at Shino's departure, however.
"Hey, just because he's got some fancy Uchiha insight into the subject..." He struggles to think of a good rebuttal to the situation. "Ok, fine. He can probably help you out more with knowledge. But I'll go get your books, go interview people for you...just name it, I'm your whipping boy for the rest of the year."
Your eyes widen in slight suprise. "Are your grades really that bad?"
"Er..." He glances around fitfully before nodding slowly. "Uh, yeah. They've gotten pretty awful. I might not graduate. It's horrible."
"That's...awful." It really was. Kiba definitely graduated originally, you can remember that much. This had to be something you butterflied away. Did your insertion into the story ruin his future as a shinobi? You didn't consider him a friend, but he was an ally by affiliation at the very least, and that wasn't a level of negative impact you were willing to have.
"Hey man. Tell you what. I'm going to go ahead and swap work with Sasuke for this project, but if you want to swing by tomorrow I'll help teach you a bit, make sure you graduate. We can keep it up until you're caught up on class or you get tired of being my whipping boy."
He throws and hand in the air and lets out a yelp of excitement. "Hell yeah, that's what I'm talking about." On the other hand you're still confused by the situation given that everyone paying attention to the conversation look like they've bitten lemons and are throwing envious glances at the dog boy. Was your help really that wanted? Had you managed to derail everyone else's academic achievements?!
"Alright..." You say slowly. "Well, I'll meet you at your place in the morning. Sauske, if you want to drop by my place in about an hour, we'll get started on the project."
The Uchiha smirks for reasons that are lost on you before nodding and heading out.
"Er. Um." Kiba has frozen like a deer in headlights. "Could we, you know, do it at your place? Sister's been giving me a hell of a time lately..."
"Oh, yeah, sure. No problem man."
"Cool, cool." He seems seriously releaved. How hard's his sister been riding him?
"And, uh. Your mom going to be around?"
You raise an eyebrow. "Um. Yeah? She should be, at least for a bit. Why?"
"Oh! Uh. Mom's been going on about treating the head of the house right when you show up, so I was, uh, thinking of bringing a gift."
You nod. That makes sense. It was normally a more high society thing, and not something you expected from Kiba, but that just serves you right for making assumptions.
"Cool. Cool. Thanks, a lot man. See you tomorrow?"
You just nod at him, and watch him walk out of the room with the biggest grin you've ever seen on his face.
You're about to head out yourself when you hear the clearing of a throat behind you. You turn slowly to find that you're alone with Ino in the classroom, and she's wearing a rather sharp smirk. You've fallen for some terrible trap if she's sporting that look.
"...what did I step in this time."
The smirk almost becomes a lethal weapon as it ramps up in intensity. "Oh, not much. Just missing the obvious."
That...was probably very like in this situation. "Oh, sage Ino, please share upon me your basion of knowledge."
"Dai, dear... think. Have you noticed any...changes going on with your body?"
You snort. Obviously. Not like you were going to overlook your second bout of puberity. But what did that have to do with anything?
She nods at your understanding. "And if you're going through it, that means that..."
Well, that would mean it's likely so too are most of your classmates. She's hinting that this situation is related...common demoninator and...
You blink. And then you blink again.
But...but how? There's no way! Your being in the story couldn't haved changed things that much! They'd never shown any signs of that in the manga! (You think you'd remember that, at least!) Not that there was anything wrong with it, but where the hell was the divergence point?!
"I don't...but..." You stammer. "They're all there to check me out?!"
The smirk falls off of her face, and Ino just stares at you. It's an empty look as clearly part of her brain has shut down, and it goes on for an uncomfortably long period of time before she seems to reboot, and slowly shakes her head.
"Noooo." She pauses. "Well, I mean. Some, a bit, but that's not anywhere near the main reason."
You breath a sigh of relief. Not from the lack of attention, fans aside, you're not one to not appreciate the inherent compliment, but due to not having somehow created such a massive change to the narrative without even being aware of how. Said relief quickly vanishes as your mind fills in the actual common denominator, taking that into consideration.
"Mother."
"Yup." Ino pops the p with amusement.
"My classmates are going through puberty, and want to check out my mom."
"Mhm."
"Because she's attractive."
She raises an eyebrow at you and flicks your forehead. "Dude. Most of these kids moms are attractive. Bonus of being ninja. Your mom's smoking hot. Gorgeous. The finest example of a lady that most of these kids have ever seen. She..."
You wave your hand. "Enough. I get it." You pinch the bridge of your nose. "The hell am I going to do about this?"
"Nothing, probably. Well, by nothing, I mean ruthlessly milk it. Got Sauske dropping by to help you with your history project, got Kiba willing to run around being your whipping boy..."
"But my mother!"
"Would inform you that she's entirely aware of what's going on with your classmates and would encourage you to take full advantage of the opportunities that present themselves." She interjects with equal parts smooth and smug.
"I..." You sigh. "Yes, that is something that she would say. I guess I'd be an idiot to not."
She throws an arm around your shoulder, a slight annoyance but much more welcome than Kiba, and starts leading you out the door. "Lady had a good head on her shoulders, that's for sure."
"Mm. Ino, you know, you spend an awful lot of time around the place yourself..."
"Well, it is one of the perks of our friendship." She gives you a slight shove away from her and tosses a wink before making for her house as you're left stuttering at her retreating back.
"Wanna kick the ass of this group project?" Are the actual words that accompanying the offending gesture.
You take a moment to compose yourself before looking side eyed at the genin in training. "Why me?"
He blinks, seemingly confused at the lack of an immediate yes, before responding. "Because... you're a cool dude?"

The Strawmen Case by Enetious (canon)
- Location
- United States
@Vesvius
"It doesn't make sense! None of this! Argh!" cried out a disheveled man in a flak jacket, hunched over a table and practically pulling out his hair from the root. Several other people present warily peered at the disgruntled man as he began another one of his tirades.
"Captain Kurosawa, I don't see the problem here, many shinobi keep things like these straw training dummies around for Kawarimi. Surely R&D shouldn't be investigating this…" said a young man in a lab coat. The other men and woman in the somewhat spacious room just groaned.
A more older looking researcher exasperatedly began to speak. "Sorry Captain Kurosawa, he's new-"
"No!" Kurosawa yelled while looking at the newbie with a crazed look in his eyes. "No no no, you don't understand… This is the Strawmen Case. The same damnable case that's been haunting this department for years!"
"I don't understand si-"
"No! You don't get to speak. Look!" Kurosawa points on the map of Konoha's training grounds that note various security details about them. "We've discovered and monitored these dummies only by happenstance by shinobi maintaining the detection barriers around the training grounds, and these demons leave no traces of chakra when they appear! They pop out of thin air and they're all completely identical down to the atomic level!" He gestures wildly towards a box filled with straw dummies.
"And they're everywhere in this area," he says, pointing to the large red circle on the map. "There's no pattern to where or when they'll appear. ANBU have reported finding so many of these things in the various training grounds in this area that they've seen shinobi begin to use these training dummies instead of logs for their Kawarimi!"
"But sir, maybe people are bringing them from outside-"
"You think we haven't thought of that?!" He gestures to charts and various monitors. "We monitor everything and everyone entering these grounds, and since they have no chakra signature at all, they can't have been stored in a storage seal of any kind!" He smashes his fist into the table in front of him, rattling his many coffee cups exaggeratedly.
"We keep barriers like these," he gestures to the many lines outlining many areas on the map, "to detect any kind of chakra use in these grounds to detect any sort of wide-scale attack on the village, accurate to a T, and the spots these are found in give us nothing, more akin to blind spots in the areas around them than anything else."
"Maybe there are seals in the-" Kurosawa gestures to dissected straw dummies on another table. "Oh…"
Kurosawa sighs. "And there you go. Now come back to me when you have anything substantial to help with this case-"
The doors slammed open and a chunin in a flak jacket appeared, looking as if he rushed here. "Captain Kurosawa, sir! We've got some concerning news about the… the Strawmen Case." He muttered the last few words with a shiver.
Kurosawa stood from his chair looking anxious. "Well? Out with it. It can't be anymore worse than the logistical nightmare this already is…"
The chunin paled and brought out with him a box and lifted the lid off of it. Silence filled the room as everyone stared at its contents.
"Wh-what?" Kurosawa croaked out. He staggered back a couple feet. "No no no, not again, not more of this nonsense!" He began hyperventilating for half a minute or so before promptly passing out against a wall behind him. Groans and moans of anguish filled the air from the other personnel in the room.
"Demons" "Monsters" "Why us" and other words were being muttered, and one researcher even threw his mug against the wall in absolute rage, shattering it loudly.
For inside the box lay wooden training dummies, a stark contrast to the usual straw training dummies that have been hauled here, and they would make this department of R&D's life even more of a nightmare than it already was.
"Captain Kurosawa, I don't see the problem here, many shinobi keep things like these straw training dummies around for Kawarimi. Surely R&D shouldn't be investigating this…" said a young man in a lab coat. The other men and woman in the somewhat spacious room just groaned.
A more older looking researcher exasperatedly began to speak. "Sorry Captain Kurosawa, he's new-"
"No!" Kurosawa yelled while looking at the newbie with a crazed look in his eyes. "No no no, you don't understand… This is the Strawmen Case. The same damnable case that's been haunting this department for years!"
"I don't understand si-"
"No! You don't get to speak. Look!" Kurosawa points on the map of Konoha's training grounds that note various security details about them. "We've discovered and monitored these dummies only by happenstance by shinobi maintaining the detection barriers around the training grounds, and these demons leave no traces of chakra when they appear! They pop out of thin air and they're all completely identical down to the atomic level!" He gestures wildly towards a box filled with straw dummies.
"And they're everywhere in this area," he says, pointing to the large red circle on the map. "There's no pattern to where or when they'll appear. ANBU have reported finding so many of these things in the various training grounds in this area that they've seen shinobi begin to use these training dummies instead of logs for their Kawarimi!"
"But sir, maybe people are bringing them from outside-"
"You think we haven't thought of that?!" He gestures to charts and various monitors. "We monitor everything and everyone entering these grounds, and since they have no chakra signature at all, they can't have been stored in a storage seal of any kind!" He smashes his fist into the table in front of him, rattling his many coffee cups exaggeratedly.
"We keep barriers like these," he gestures to the many lines outlining many areas on the map, "to detect any kind of chakra use in these grounds to detect any sort of wide-scale attack on the village, accurate to a T, and the spots these are found in give us nothing, more akin to blind spots in the areas around them than anything else."
"Maybe there are seals in the-" Kurosawa gestures to dissected straw dummies on another table. "Oh…"
Kurosawa sighs. "And there you go. Now come back to me when you have anything substantial to help with this case-"
The doors slammed open and a chunin in a flak jacket appeared, looking as if he rushed here. "Captain Kurosawa, sir! We've got some concerning news about the… the Strawmen Case." He muttered the last few words with a shiver.
Kurosawa stood from his chair looking anxious. "Well? Out with it. It can't be anymore worse than the logistical nightmare this already is…"
The chunin paled and brought out with him a box and lifted the lid off of it. Silence filled the room as everyone stared at its contents.

Heard!
You know, that question reminds me of a DnD campaign I DM'd, where the bard kept trying to seduce everything and couldn't understand why it didn't work. Ghouls? No prob, whipped it out. Treants? Of course! Why not? Mimics? Why? Just... just why? And every time I said 'That simply won't work no matter how high your charisma is or how high you roll', the angrier he got. Until finally he tried it on the Big Bad of the session, a red dragon, and got crushed to death by her tail.
In other words: no.
Well, that's way more adorable than it should be. Take 150 XP.
Heard!
nice, and with that

Well, we know Kaguya was definitely into sex, seeing as how she produced Hagoromo / Hamura (presumably through sex like the rest of us) and how she reacted to Naruto using the Sexy jutsu to transform into a bunch of naked men. (Naruto manga chapter 682)
So, I'm not really seeing why this is as impossible as seducing a Mimic, which doesn't even have sexual characteristics. You said you let him seduce Ghouls and Treants, and Kaguya has way more evidence of being affected by hot men than either of the above.
