So who hates Daisuke more: Mariko or the squirrels?

Dunno but Mariko wins cause her hatred is understandable in the first place, even if it super ultra petty and childish.
Squirrels I dunno. They hated Daisuke since he was a baby. also "SO. MUCH. HATE/RAGE" or whatever from Mariko is way bigger emotions on the relationship bar or chart on the first page.

Squirrels win by a landslide. They've hated a baby, a fricking baby! That kind of hatred isn't natural...

I'd argue that hating squirrels is equally unnatural. The question is who started this war?
Maybe the baby had it coming.

I'm gonna laugh my ass off when the squirrels start doing things to help Mariko train, to build her into their own Daisuke-killing weapon.

So Mariko is... Squirrel Girl? That sounds so wrong, and yet... very interesting. Though on a different topic:
If Reward XP does carry over, then the only Attributes that won't start at Simple or higher would be Constitution (70 XP)/Intelligence (380 XP)/Willpower (270 XP)/Control (360 XP)/Senses (40 XP). Shuriken and Taijutsu are the only Jutsu Schools (minus Fuin) that won't start at Adept or higher.
Though most Skills have had Reward XP pumped in, there's a whole Eight that won't start at Student or higher: Climb/Escape Artist/Sleight of Hand/Stealth/Swim/Decipher/Disable Device/Disguise.
Then there's four Skills that'll only start at Student: Appraise, Heal, Perception, and Intimidate. Only Survival and Beastmastery would start at Practiced, with everything else being Adept (Acrobatics/Bluff/Diplomacy/Manipulation/Sense Motive) or Journeyman (Travel, Linguistics, Perform).
Regarding Techniques: Endless Sword/Kawarimi/Henge wouldn't start at Basic, yet Song of Discord would, whereas Tone of Discord and Bunshin would both start at Intermediate.
Daisuke would actually start off pretty well if there's no "Continue/Load File" mechanic going on, though a little more and Daisuke could start with All Simple Attributes.

So...yeah.
I did a thing.
If this is canon, we're doomed. In the (much more likely) event that it isn't, I hope you enjoy it anyway.
@Vesvius - I hope this omake is up to your standards.

As a child, Mariko hadn't known it was unusual. They were just there. When she was out playing. When she was shopping. They never interfered, or bothered her. They were just there.
Always.
When she was older, she mentioned it to her Mama. But Mama didn't think it was important, and Mama was right. So Mariko decided it wasn't important, either.
But the squirrels were still there.
They were there when she was 6, and her cousin betrayed her for the stinky boy. Daisuke, who instantly became her greatest foe.
They saw when she was betrayed, when her own flesh and blood turned on her.
That night, she watched them watch her from the branches outside her window. Their beady eyes focused on her, but she did not feel afraid. The next morning, there were acorns on the ledge in her room.
From that point onwards, her friends never left her.
They were there when The Enemy formed his group. The traitor, the brain, the freak, and the juggernaut joined him. But it stymied her attempts to turn the class against him.
They were watching during her spar, where The Enemy avoided every one of her best attacks, only to knock her down with his fan...which he promptly held to her throat, prompting the proctor to end the match.
That night, her friends stood outside her window, showing her taijutsu strikes in slow motion. She copied them, eventually, and found her form improving by leaps and bounds.
They were watching when she was taught the basics of genjutsu, and took to it like a duck to water.
The night after their first practical exercises, they brought her a scroll. She learned the technique within, and began her path towards becoming a genjutsu mistress.
They were watching when thrice-damned Daisuke revealed his ability to create those awful dummies during spars.
That night, a miniature dummy was perched on the ledge outside her window, and her friends demonstrated ways to take them apart mid-battle.
They were watching when Kairi, the other freak, started making those drawings of The Enemy.
They brought her many copies of the...tamer ones. Her shurikenjutsu skills improved.
They were watching when the hotness that was The Emo revealed his Grand Fireball. Of course, The Enemy managed to avoid it, and the spar ended with Sasuke barely eeking out a victory.
That night, her friends were there. Waiting. Their tiny claws flashed through the symbols, again and again. Ram, Monkey, Boar, Horse, Tiger. Ram, Monkey, Boar, Horse, Tiger. Ram, Monkey, Boar, Horse, Tiger. Ram, Monkey, Boar, Horse, Tiger.
But she couldn't. The technique just wouldn't function.
But her friends did not despair.
They were there when team announcements were made. She saw, out of the corner of her eye, one of them rub it's head with a tiny paw after her outburst. She knew she had misstepped.
The teams were fixed. She was on a team with The Enemy, but The Teacher showed promise. She was wise and skilled. Surely, someone who mastered genjutsu would see through The Enemy's tricks soon enough.
They split to plan the 'party'. Her friends joined her as she raced home. Together, they worked. If all went well, tonight's party would be the last ever for that stinky, foreign bastard.
Always.

Ah I see. The Source of Mariko hatred and why she didn't want Daisuke sitting on the table with her cousin.
She Racist. Also the fact she doesn't have one male friend or acquaintances is...kinda weird.
It's half funny but also half true. Especially during these barbaric times, hatred against the outside or outsider is more common than you think. Jarabi might also suffer due to his skin tone and where he came from.

A Note Seized by Iruka During Class Hours (Daisuke Facts) by KaintuckeeBob

- Somewhere I shouldn't be
On that note, I have another one.
@Vesvius I'm sorry. My muse is in a mood.
Daisuke Facts
Daisuke once killed a samurai with his own sword. Daisuke didn't know how to use swords at the time.
Daisuke once visited the hot springs. This prompted no less than seven Icha-Icha books.
Daisuke once punched a training dummy so hard it swore it's entire lineage into his servitude, just to make him stop.
Everytime Daisuke has thrown a shuriken, something has died.
Daisuke once tripped while throwing and a kunai flew away into the air. It landed in the throat of an assassin. In the land of Mist.
Someone once swung a sword at Daisuke's face. It stopped a centimeter away, as nature would not permit his looks to be marred.
Someone once wrote a story about Daisuke losing a fight. The scroll spontaneously combusted before he could finish.
Normal chakra is blue. Bijuu chakra is red. Daisuke's chakra looks like chocolate tastes.
Daisuke could be the next Iron Damiyo, but thinks such things are beneath him.
If Daisuke ever fought Itachi, Itachi's eyes would melt from the sheer beauty. This is why Itachi fled the village.
Naruto can't prank Daisuke.
Most fans are made of paper. Some are made of wood or steel. Daisuke's is made of badass.
Daisuke taught himself taijutsu so well that even Gai was impressed.
Daisuke is forbidden from smiling on missions, because his smile is so bright that stealth would be impossible.
Daisuke doesn't need to read a scroll. He just stares at it and it gives him the information contained within.
Daisuke's cooking is so bad an Akimichi can't even eat it.
Daisuke once made a poster about the Hokage. It now has a place of honor on Sarutobe's wall.
If Minato had a son, he'd want it to be Daisuke.
Daisuke got Sasuke to say something other than 'Hnh'.
Daisuke got some chakra paper once. It said his element was 'awesome'.
Daisuke's musical skill is so great that he once made a deaf person hear.
Daisuke is so kind, he once spent seventeen straight hours picking up various baby's toys. He was four.
Daisuke's Henge is so good he once convince Iruka-sensei that he was the real teacher.
Daisuke is so gorgeous he once defeated an enemy kunichi just by smiling at her.
Daisuke's smile is listed as an S-rank technique.
Daisuke once punched someone so hard he hasn't been able to use chakra since.
On his first day of lessons, Daisuke corrected the teacher's taijutsu stance.
Daisuke is actually awful and smells terrible. -Mariko, you don't get to write any more of these!
Daisuke created his own time-space jutsu. It worked so well, everyone thinks it was created 800 years ago.
Daisuke has never used the bathroom.
The peacocks refused to be Daisuke's summons, because he was too pretty.
Daisuke is so awesome Ino almost refused to recreate the famous Ino-Shika-Cho triad.
Someone once doubted Daisuke's skill with a blade. His clan is no more.

I've always wondered, how aware is the average person of Daisuke's history?
Like, I imagine nobody knows he's a first born royal bastard, but how many people know about the Tokei's incident?

The people who make the omakes and art can do what they want with the EXP they earn.
However gaining Perception and Stealth for a livelihood of being a ninja is like getting fire or earthquake insurance in California or tornado insurance in the Mid-West or Hurricane/Storm/Flood Insurance in Florida.
You can go cheap and not pay for it but if it comes (and considering natural weather disasters that happen yearly, Eventually you going to see said disasters), losing everything cause you didn't want to spend a bit less on other things is only the fault of the person who didn't buy the insurance.
Especially since dying means restarting back to 0 with all the EXP gathered gone. It be extremely painful for the writers and artists on the thread.

I am Fire, and I am Rain
I actually think it's the reverse.
This is a Game of the Year based story, we are going to Die, a Lot, it's the cornerstone of the original work.
That being the case, I think the major xp producers are playing this life for fun, and to test mechanics.
Sure, there is an effort to make the character viable, but not the kind of serious push you normally see.
They know the author is going to pull the rug out from under them eventually, so might as well play to your preferences and see how it shakes out.
Case in point, the only stat we have maxed is appearance.

Alright a little something I've been working on...
Eh, omake XP is basically a renewable resource. I personally believe we're going to keep the achievements only, otherwise the next game is going to start with basically maxed everything at birth unless we die really soon.

Eh, there's no reason it has to be either/or. The omake XP could be halved with each reset, or capped. There's dozens of ways to carry partial experience between lives, and we won't know which one is in effect (if any) until it happens.
