Jokes aside, getting anything to S-Class this quickly is... unbelievable, in the bad way. It damages suspension of disbelief.

I'd prefer to sink it into stuff that eats up more points - kenjutsu is nice, since we have to invest triple the points to gain "True" A rank skill across the board.

Advanced Ninjutsu would be nice, too, to get it out of that pitiful D-Class level.
 
Think I had some ideas in a text file on my comp at home so I'll wait till I get back there to spend my 5xp

Hm. While going all the way to S rank in short order would be a little unbelievable considering the number of enemies faster than her Hisana has seen move with her Sharingan making whatever they're using to move so fast her own would explain a sudden increase in speed. Regardless of that I'd personally throw it in Intelligence in the hopes that it'll allow Hisana to discern a little more of what is going on behind the scenes.
 
Okay, just looked at our char sheet again and realised something. Our strength is pitiful.

Also, if we have 70xp total then I'd suggest putting 25 each to strength and general taijutsu to get them both to B rank and 20 to Canon knowledge for the same.

To be fair we've been doing pretty much everything we can to boost our speed, both OoC and IC

Consider that Hisana has been training into the ground for years, using techniques that wouldn't normally be available to the standard academy student-then Genin. Combine that with extremely early awakening of Sharingan to make learning much, much easier and then sealwork to give a large backlog of energy that she can tap into and a seal which allows her to basically, for a few milliseconds at a time, use Shunshin to it's utmost ability. I can see us having insane bursts of A-S class speed followed by short periods of recovery.

And honestly, out of the 4 "common" stats most things use; Strength, Stamina, Speed, and Intelligence. The two we'd have the easiest time raising in the Naruto-verse are Speed and Intelligence. The first by abusing relatively easy abilities and seal work, the latter by access to foreknowledge and the ability to hyper focus on abilities we know will give us the most returns.

Strength requires either Sakura levels of chakra control, or Lee levels of perseverance and Stamina has diminishing returns and really doesn't play much part in anything unless you're pitifully undeveloped or have so much chakra you can power pretty much any jutsu with it. Hisana has gotten around that a bit with her chakra seal but it's a trump card to be used sparingly and has limited reserves that she has to refil. Not the "Eats some Ramen and a good night's sleep" dynamo that Naruto is.


Though, saying all that. If we could ever figure out a seal to place on our hands to spoof perfect chakra control to slap dash together a knock off of super strength jutsu, we'd be pretty well rounded and a serious A rank threat that really only lacks experience.


Edit: because we're sorta already doing that with the shunshin seal. Just a flash of perfectly controlled chakra on impact would be fairly impressive, or a seal that regulates chakra through the system at a measured and perfectly controlled rate

Edit dos: that can be adjusted up or down or outright disabled when we need to of course

Personally, I'm leaning towards doubling down on our specialties and putting xp in kenjutsu/iaido. With maybe some sprinkling over towards fuinjutsu because it's so stupidly bullshit.

Senjutsu is nice, but isn't that gated behind Raven clan trust? I.e. it's more of a plot requirement than an xp requirement.

Senjutsu IIRC is both. You've gotta have the raw stats to survive using Senjutsu (XP) and you gotta get the trust of your summons.

Personally at this point I'd argue if Hisana has specialties. Hisana is quite the well rounded Ninja. She has 1 D-Rank stat, 6 C-Rank stats, 13 B-Rank stats, and 2 A-Rank stats. Over half (59%) of all her stats are the same rank and of the six C-Ranks half of those are Taijutsu related which is somewhat redundant with Kenjutsu.

Personally I'd focus on bringing that D-Rank and those C-Ranks up to par. Advanced Ninjutsu (D->C), Strength (C->B), and Taijutsu (C->B) add up to 70xp.
 
It's not just a matter of stats, though - we keep spending things on making ourselves faster. We picked iaijutsu for our sword style and spent all our fuinjutsu research projects on speed - rapid channeling, rapid drawing, rapid movement. Even if our skills are rounded on paper, we play like a maximum-anime swordswoman speedster.
 
Okay, I've come up with a few possible combinations for how to spend 70xp. People who need to agree on a spending plan (whether it's this or something else) are Myself, @Redshirt Army, @matthew badger and @linkhyrule5

Seals of Glory:
60xp Fuinjutsu (B>A Rank)
10xp spare (Redshirt Army's banked 10? Place where-ever)

NEED MORE DAKKA!!!:
60xp Chakra Capacity (B>A Rank)
10xp spare (Redshirt Army's banked 10? Place where-ever)

Bladestorm:
65xp Kenjutsu (B>A Rank)
5xp spare (Strength?)

I NEED A MEDIC!:
70xp Iryojutsu (B>A Rank)

Fists of Fury:
25xp Strength (C>B Rank)
25xp Taijutsu (C>B Rank)
20xp Advanced Ninjutsu (D>C Rank)

The Future is full of Fists!:
25xp Strength (C>B Rank)
25xp Taijutsu (C>B Rank)
20xp Canon Knowledge (C>B Rank)
 
I like fists of fury and bladestorm, since we're sorely lacking in the strength department and i'd love to see our sword skills overpower opponents already powerful in the kenjutsu department.

I'd be willing to put my XP into either of those plans.
 
Strength may or may not be part of a viable build, but it's of minimal benefit to us given our build and skills. Any point we put into Strength will benefit us notably less than putting that same point into speed.

That's why we have low Strength; Not because we forgot it was there and didn't invest in it, but because there are superior alternatives to invest in from a mechanical perspective.

Unfortunately, I cannot give you two likes.

But we will need high strength for sage mode apparently, so presumably there are other skills that require high physical resilience, some of which are probably things like the shunshin which tax the body because of high speed. Personally I think we should at least start slowly building up our strength even if we don't dump xp in it to rank it up immediately.
Presumably @Zeuseus is fine with any of the plans he proposed, so that leaves the final vote from @linkhyrule5 .

Do we do Fists of Fury, Bladestorm, or not coordinate at all?
Confirming I'm happy with those two choices.
