after doing some research, steam jutsu is definetly a kekkei genkai. it's called boil release and was one of the two the mizukage had. for people who forgot her whole thing was that she had 2 kekkei genkai
 
It makes more sense narratively if she isn't able to use steam release.
just having water and fire wouldn't give you the ability to use steam release, kekkei genkai is specifically the ability to combine two types of chakra. except in the case of eye based ones but they're their own thing
edit: I had forgotten about body transforming kekkei genkai's while writing this originally, but they aren't really relevant to this discussion so whatever

You do realize you don't come out of the womb able to use kekkei genkai, correct? Even the eye based dojutsu need to be activated and worked at. So, yes water and fire would give you access to steam release, if you had the ability to use it. The same way wind and water is ice release, earth and water is wood release, and etc.

Kekkai genkai doesn't mean what you think it means.

I don't really get what you were trying to say. we don't have the kekkei genkai, so we wouldn't be able to use steam jutsu if we had fire and water. I never said it didn't need training

Kekkai genkai doesn't mean what you think it means. Even look at Mei and Han. One has it 'naturally' and the other has it specifically due to their bijuu. Neither of their boil/steam release manifests in the same way. Mei's is literally just corrosive vapors. Hans is steam. Fire and water. So yes, it's possible to create the same effect with just fire and water nature since Naruto literally did it that way in canon. And with that door open and it being op's quest, they can give it to us if they want.

first off naruto was able to use steam release by using the chakra given to him by the five tails, you might have been thinking of sasuke who used ice by freezing water with wind style after he created it but claimed that it wasn't real ice style and was worse than the real thing. I don't see see how we'd get five tails chakra without something going very wrong, and combining chakra types outside of our bodies is most likely far beyond our skill level.

as for me not knowing what kekkei genkai are, they are special abilities passed down by bloodline. while it is possible to get one after being born that would require stealing someone's eye, altering our DNA, getting tailed beast chakra, or something along those lines. we have done none of these and probably shouldn't anyway.
 
2.3 First Exam
[X] Talk to the Konoha nins.

Saya decided to take a risk and started to walk over to the Konoha nins. Kyoko made a rude noise but she ignored her.

"Hey who are you?!" A blonde girl exclaimed as Saya walked over.

"Just curious. You guys are making a racket," Saya said, shrugging.

"Curious Iwa nin," a boy with a ponytail noted.

She looked over their shoulders and saw the man show some information on the cards. "Hey free info."

"Hey I know that guy," Saya said, remembering the Maito Gai mini me. It brought bittersweet memories. She accidentally drew the attention of the entire rookie group who turned to look at her.

"How does a Iwa nin know a Konoha nin?" a pink haired girl asked, blinking.

"Border patrol mission, they were our opposite that week," Saya said dryly. They seemed to accept that as they turned back to the man. When they moved onto Gaara, Saya's eyebrows raised. A genin that did a B-rank mission deliberately? She had to keep a look out for this guy.

She watched as the blonde boy challenged the entire room much to her amusement. Then the Otogakure shinobi attacked the older konoha nin suddenly and she had to grind her teeth to restrain herself from attacking. Orochimaru would pay. They would all pay.

Then the examiners showed up. They sat in arranged seating, with Saya having a blond Suna genin girl and the pink haired konoha nin from earlier sitting on either side of her.

She noted the rules and quickly came to the conclusion that she had to cheat. And cheat well.

What do you do?

[ ] Genjutsu. Take control of the pink haired girl next to you and have her tap out the answers in Iwa code on the desk. She seemed obscenely confident as she wrote out the answers quickly.

[ ] Use Gastly. He can turn invisible and by possessing you, write the answers he sees.

[ ] Fuck the exam. Start sabotaging other students by using genjutsu. It's your chance to ruin other strong shinobi's chances by attacking the weak links in their teams.
-[ ] Write In specific names. Saya will not know them by name, but it's easier for me to know who you're referring to.

[ ] Write In.

Sakura is a shitty ninja and out of character we KNOW she got them right

if we're making decisions based on OOC knowledge, we know that this entire exam is a trick and as long as we don't get caught cheating repeatedly or give up we'll pass regardless of our score. also Ino is going to take over sakura at some point so it's probably better we aren't also controlling her at the same time.

2.4 Second Exam
[X] Use Gastly. He can turn invisible and by possessing you, write the answers he sees.

Carefully, Saya opened the PokeBall underneath the desk and released Gastly who immediately went invisible. Saya couldn't see him but knew when he possessed her that he had the answers.

She blacked out, letting him in, and when she came to, Morino Ibiki was explaining the tenth question. She nodded along. She could sort of believe it, it was the sort of thing the Tsuchikage would do to his genin if they weren't competent enough. But she wasn't going to raise her hand. She was sure she could answer the tenth question with Gastly. Many left, afraid of being held back. Then there was shouting from the blonde konoha boy who declared that he wasn't afraid of the question. She smirked at his blunt confidence and leaned back.

"All of you pass!" Morino Ibiki declared after a brief silence. Saya blinked in surprise and there was a sudden uproar from the collective genins. She turned most of it out, listening closely to the man. Yes ... She had experienced that mission very personally.

Saya closed her eyes in memory as the second examiner burst through the window.

---

So don't lose her teammates, don't open the scroll they're supposed to bring to the tower, steal another different scroll. She signed the consent forms with bemusement and waited at the gate with the earth scroll. Kyoko had grudgingly allowed that Saya would be the best choice to hold it with her summons. When the gate opened, they rushed in.

"We should head to the tower and set up traps," Kyoko opined.

What's the plan?

[ ] Go to the center tower and set up traps. It plays to your strengths.

[ ] Single out a specific team to attack.
-[ ] write in which team.

[ ] Go after random teams. (Roll a 1d20)

[ ] Write in.
