Like I said: Sorcery.

Flight of the Brilliant Raptor. Death of Obsidian Butterflies. Flying Guillotine.
And those are just Terrestrial Circle spells.
We can bring destruction on a scale that only Rinnegan users and jinchuuriki can manage.

Just pointing out current issues with her ninjutsu progression, and how it currently doesn't synergize very well with her weapons mastery.
It's not exactly a crippling problem, mind; Kisame and Zabuza were both Water and weapon users after all, and managed quite well.
I suspect we will, too.

I bet it would be helpful in creating the exploding dragon seal future Tenten ends up using though.

-edit-

Tenten was born to set things on fire and then explode them into more fire.

Considering that we can convert 1 more into 10 chakra learning jutsu should in many case be more economical then learning charms. For example the substitution technique is a very good defense and only costs 10 Charka so one more.

Doubt that.
There is a reason why you don't see Substitution spammed much in serious fights, as opposed to techniques like Shunshin. There are things that jutsu do better than Charms, especially at the lower levels; Water-Walking for example is a basic example.

But when charms get going, they go IN.

Besides, we favor fuinjutsu.
Strength of a Hundred is a chakra storage seal; pure fuinjutsu, no medicine.
Your options are pretty clear.

Max Fuinjutsu and Occult to 5.
Buy Discerning Savant's Eye(E2,Linguistics 5,Linguistics Excellency prereq) and All-Encompassing Sorcerer's Sight(E2, Occult 5, Spirit-Detecting Glance prereq). Find Tsunade and bet her that if you can replicate it in a week, she'll become Hokage.
Then go make your own. With blackjack. And hookers.

Return her to Konoha. Flex to your friends.
Proceed to dodge assassination teams from Iwa till they run out of volunteers.

But worth it.
Even Terrestrial Circle sorcery, with such basic spells as Infallible Messenger ad Stormwind Rider, is very much worth it.

Substitution no Jutsu
Cost: 15 Chakra Min: Chakra 1
Duration: Instantaneous
Prerequisite Jutsu: None

The user can replace themselves with an equivalently-sized object within their general vicinity (Ninjutsu Rank x 10 meters) in the moment of an attack. This creates an optical illusion for a scant few seconds like they've actually been hit by the attack. The user can also replace themselves with a person or possession of a person with a lower willpower then them.

OK so I mis-remembered it costs 15 Charka still cheaper then most defense charms.
 
Yog said:
Actually, no. Strength of a Hundred, while a "seal" in some sense, is a chakra control exercise. You concentrate chakra in your forehead, and you keep doing it long enough so it concentrates to the point it becomes stable.

Strength of a Hundred is explicitly characterized as fuinjutsu, not a chakra control exercise.
Second Databook, pg 201; you can find the translations online.

The fact that it took Sakura three years to pull it off is no indication that it took Tsunade the same amount of time.
Just like fuinjutsu does not necessarily require ink to pull off, just contact and will.

Panoptic Fusion Discipline raises your DV by 1 and costs 4m for the Scene.E2
Perfect Blade Aegis raises your Melee PDV by 2 permanently; no motes required.E3
Blade Lair Discipline imposes a -1 external penalty to enemy attacks for 3m for the scene. E4

I haven't actually mentioned actual Dodge charms.
Or Melee charms that produce artifact level weapons and shields to block with.

Substitution would probably be characterized in Exalted as either an Athletics or Larceny charm to be honest; it hides your dodge and maybe extends its range.
It doesn't boost it.

Teleportation effects are limited in Exalted so the equivalent would be more expensive. I would charactise it as a flurry breaker style effect.

Not sure about the "Tenten's Feelings" part of the vote, so I'll restrict myself to this.

[X] Proud yet frightened: You've done something great, an ANBU member flat out told you that to your face, and you're proud you managed to serve your Village well. But you're keenly aware that in doing so you stuck your neck into something way bigger than you. Involving a lot of people who could very easily kill you without a second thought.

I only have access to wiki, where it (with the link to the same source you named) is stated to be "a pinnacle of chakra control" and described as "storing a vast amounts of chakra over an extended period of time into a specific point on their body — usually the forehead — the user creates this seal, which manifests in the form of a rhombus-like marking."

Three years was also a remarkably fast time, not a slow tim. That's even not going into anime-only fact that, until Sakura imoroved the process, for the duration of the initial buildup, the user was left with no available chakra for combat or other uses.

So, my guess would be that fuinjutsu ranking would allow us to design / comprehend the technique, but it's chakra control that would be required to actually perform it.
 
In terms of the properties of fire. Higher temperature flames is a route that would make sense. That could help outside combat with the forging of weapons.

I don't believe board rules will allow me link you to translations/scanlations, but Strength of a Hundred is clearly marked as fuinjutsu, both in the wiki and the translation I can find via Google. It's not even a Medicine/Fuinjutsu technique; just pure Fuinjutsu.
It's Creation Rebirth, which it fuels, that happens to be a Medicine technique.

Citation please.
We have no evidence for how long it took Tsunade to create hers, to the best of my knowledge.

Nope.
No more than it was chakra control for Minato to perform the Eight Trigrams Seal.
Or the Control Seal that freed the Kyubi from Tobi.

It doesn't matrer what it's called. It matters how it is performed. And it is performed via super-acxurate chakra control exercise over a long period of time. It says so clearly in the description.

And yes, far more chakra control than it took Minato to perform that seal. Which probanly also took a lot of chakra control, by the way.

Not a teleportation technique though.
The one time that Kakashi explained it, it was described as a high speed movement and replacement technique, not teleportation.
Yeah, don't ask me how that works.

Hiraishin is still the only teleportation technique I know of that doesn't rely on funny eyes.
It's still superior to any Exalted tactical teleport I've heard of, but Exalted has access to better strategic teleportation options.

Not a blacksmith.
Does not favor Craft. Has zero dots in Craft. Has easy access to Essence weapons by paying motes.
You're not going to see Tenten forging weapons in this quest, I suspect.

1)It's classification matters because it tells us how the effect was achieved.
An explosive tag and a fire jutsu can both blow holes in walls; the modalities are different.

I mean, seriously, how do you think Minato emplaces Hiraishin touch seals on people if not concentration of chakra? How do you think Danzo did it?

2) It tells us how Sakura performed it.
It doesn't tell us how Tsunade did it, or how other people might perform theirs in the future.
Naruto did not perform the Rasengan the way either Jiraiya or Minato did.

Nor did he achieve or maintain Sage Mode the same way as any of his forbears.
Nor did Sasuke use the Amaterasu like Itachi did, as Blaze Release can attest to.

Teacher's Comments
  • Naruto: Stands out for both his poor grades and his poor behaviour. Has guts and motivation but never studies.
  • Sasuke: Has an incredible sense for ninjutsu, taijutsu and genjutsu, and has maintained top grades. Frequently strikes out on his own during cooperative exercises – needs to work on teamwork and cooperation.
  • Shikamaru: Absolutely not motivated. Sleeps all the time – it's amazing he hasn't flunked out.
  • Chouji: No-one rivals his knowledge and interest in food. I once yelled at him for eating too early and he went berserk.
  • Kiba: Very violent. Takes good care of his dog, but needs to pay more attention to those around him.
  • Shino: Extremely mature for an Academy Student. I'd like to see him play occasionally to develop his emotions.
  • Hinata: Very retiring and pessimistic. I can't tell her to follow the problem student's lead, but she needs to put herself forward.
  • Sakura: Worth watching, both for her range of knowledge and control of chakra, but she doesn't seem to enjoy taijutsu. Occasionally prone to emotional outbursts, but if she channels that energy she should be able to improve on all her skills.
  • Ino: Outstanding grades, and gets other to follow her lead. Occasionally lets that got to her head.

Takes both. The seal to store it and release it.

The chakra control to get it there
