The Princess of Blades (Naruto/Exalted)

Reader mode
List of useful charms that we have teachers to help with and that we have the prequsites of.
Cost: 3m
Mins: Athletics 1, Essence 2
Type: Reflexive
Keywords: Combo-OK
Duration: One scene
Prerequisite Charms: None

The heroes of the dawn leap with the grace of a flying crane and the speed of a striking hawk. For the rest of the scene, the character can jump with a movement action instead of a miscellaneous action, and she doubles the length of all jumps.
While this Charm is active, the character may reflexively Jump only once per action, on her action tick. This does not replace her Move actions, and she may still only Jump once per action.
Cost: 10m
Mins: Resistance 1, Essence 1
Type: Supplemental
Keywords: Combo-OK
Duration: Until the day ends
Prerequisite Charms: None

Even wounded nigh unto death, a Lawgiver will marshal the strength to rise again. This Charm supplements a dramatic action to marshal the character's inner resources for recovery. This action requires one hour without a stunt or another Charm. The Solar's player rolls (Stamina + Resistance). Success speeds his healing rate by a factor of 10 or, if the character prefers, adds directly to the successes of a physician using Wound-Mending Care Technique on the character. See page 149 for more on natural healing rates.
Characters can activate Body-Mending Meditation when inactive (see p. 143).

There are more, but I picked the ones I thought are useful right now. There are some cool ones if Tenten ever gets armor.

Yugao is a really nice counterpoint to Jiraiya, and definitely a better long term contact for Tenten to make.

As a Jonin level swordswoman with sensory abilities and probably really high end stealth skills she matches up exceptionally well with Tenten's current limitations (she really needs to learn some high end CQC skills to match her thrown ones and balance her ranges out). There's also the fact that Jiraiya will be disappearing off with Naruto at some point in the future, whereas Yugao will still be in Konoha at least regularly for the foreseeable future.

You'll note that the charm itself states that one needs to come up with a method of how it works in-universe.

Pushes a chakra disruption pulse through the chakra holding the sand together.
Or forces a convergence of the ambient natural energy on the person it attacks.
Or punches a sonic shockwave through the sand into the person manipulating it.

Bullshit is bullshit.
 
@uju32 would you consider Monkey leap technique and Body-Mending Meditation? They are both charms that Gai can help us with and that we have the prerequisites for.

Tenten is actually good at CQC (as long as she has a weapon, when it comes to Taijutsu she's just average) in terms of skill and speed. It's just she lacks the stamina and durability of Lee and Neji, which is why she plays ranged support.

QUESTION
Do we own a chakra blade anywhere?
I assume not because the darn things are expensive, but I want to confirm.

You actually have one (and I stress one). A wazikashi that Tenten bought for herself the first time she managed to beat Gai in a spar. It's currently hanging on her wall, and she doesn't use it much because A) she can't channel chakra and B) it doesn't really fit with her normal fighting style.

Also if it helps, Tenten IC prefers Ninjutsu over Genjutsu.
Konohamaru Rasengan'd a Pain. As a genin.
He's as much an aberration in his generation as Naruto is.

This is true.
 
@Crilltic : About the monkey leap technique. Ninja already jump really far would this charm double even that? Also make Tenten able to jump more often? Because it that case she becomes more maneuverable than Yoda was in his prime. Gets even cooler when you consider that Tenten can stick to walls and ceilings.

True, but I'd still imagine that she's better at range, and Yugao is one of the best sword users seen outside of the seven swordsmen, the land of Iron or those wierd samurai esque people who showed up in one of the movies.

She's gonna be significantly more skilled than Tenten for a good while yet, and will be able to serve as a sparring partner later on once she has reached a bit of a higher level.

The big question i do have is if Tenten could manage to use Glorious Solar Bullshit to replicate or develop sensory abilities... Cause those are one of the big gamebreakers at higher levels of combat.
 
Actually I did not put up
Cost: 3m
Mins: Athletics 1, Essence 2
Type: Reflexive
Keywords: Combo-OK
Duration: One scene
Prerequisite Charms: None

The Solar Exalted are as graceful as sunlight on water. This Charm lets the Exalt automatically succeed on any valid Athletics action to keep his balance. Moreover, this Charm allows the Exalt to keep his footing on any surface at least as strong and wide as a human hair. He treats it as a three-footwide ledge capable of supporting a thousand pounds of weight when determining what movement and Athletics actions he can take and what penalties to them might apply.
Before because it did not seem useful to me, but combined with Monkey leap technique, the treewalking technique and ninja wire. :D. It means that Tenten always controls the range and angle of any fight. Also cool stunts like standing on your oppent's sword.

@Crilltic : What skill does ninja wire come under?

Given Tenten's lack of Genjutsu skill and jutsus, I believe an extra dot in either the Awareness or Ninjutsu specialties would probably be more inmediately useful - also neatly rounding out the training slots.

Body Mending Meditation isn't really a critical charm for Tenten; it's nice to have, but isn't essential, because Tenten doesn't usually get hurt often enough to need it. And we're looking for essential charms at the moment.
If you can cook up 5XP in omakes to buy it, sure!

Ditto Monkey Leap Technique; also nice, visually flashy, also on the medium to longterm list.
Not high enough to prioritize before the invasion though.

Hmm.
So Hien is actually viable.
But Sun Sword Concentration is obviously superior, and works against hard targets, not just soft ones.
Let's wait and talk to Yuugao first.

Yeah, I'm basically interpreting her physical attributes and skills in the context of other Shinobi. So Monkey Leap would expand on that baseline.

She can't become a sensor outright, though sensing Chakra is a valid awareness speciality it doesn't get her up to the detail and breadth actual sensor-types can manage. Anyone can sense chakra, but it's a matter of fidelity. For example, a normal person can tell if they're standing next to a bonfire or not, whereas a sensor could tell exactly where each fire is in a 300m radius and also the exact temperature they are. Awareness Specialities would put Tenten somewhere in the middle.

However, there are some charms that can very, very useful. Like Reflex Sidestep Technique which is "lol what surprise attacks", even for things you'd normally not get to roll against.

Manipulating ninja wires comes under the Manipulated Shuriken Technique, which Tenten has.

Can she not develop custom Charms for that, in the same vein as Keen (Sense) Technique and so on?

Learning medicine increases our chances of being taught by Tsunade which is Tenten's dream. Also it could help us heal Lee which would stop us from limit breaking. Even if we can't heal Lee it we make Tenten feel she is doing some which would help quite a bit.

How much medicine are we talking about here? Because "heal Lee" amount sounds like a lot?

I would actually dispute this.

There is no theoretical reason why she can't buy Keen(Sense) Technique and Unsurpassed(Sense)Technique for chakra, since chakra sense is a mundane sensory modality in this universe.
Throw an Awareness Excellency on top of that and you'd beat most chakra sensors.

It's just a significant investment of time and effort(6XP and 6 training slots for 2 charms, assuming Neji's bonus), and would require activation, unlike a normal chakra sensor.
Then there are the Occult charms like All-Encompassing Sorcerer's Sight.

One or 2 dots should be enough to get Tsunade to at least consider taking us on. Also I do not expect Tenten to get enough medicine from Omake to heal Lee, but if she has even a bit it increases the chance that if she does Limit break she throws herself into learning medical rather then cutting Lee's limibs off.
 
This is week 3. All our other trainers have offered a limited number of training slots. So it is a good bet that Yuugao represents 4 or at best 8 training slots. Are we happy that we only need 1 or 2 more melee charms before the final?
