Well, considering the existence of the shinigami and Kaguya, that might still be the case. I mean for all we know, Edo Tensai is less resurrection jutsu and more, "Make a sacrifice to the ancient gods to achieve this result."

Anime-verse, it takes you to your most appropriate summon animal. Manga-verse, it's never elaborated on as far as I'm aware. Here? Who knows?

My, so I see something happened last night. Mod intervention and all. Remember to keep it civil guys.
I have no idea what these words mean.
Cool! +1 XP added to your running total.
It's a very dumb idea, that while functions sorta similar to how it works in the Anime verse is insanely dangerous. Because most summon animals either live in climates inhospitable to humans (fish et. al.), are not friendly (snakes) or both (sharks). Most people who try it don't come back.
Shed Skin is great.

And whose secret life goal is to figure out why mothers hug their children extra close when he passes by. He currently suspects it's because his magnificence inspires them to understand the value of their loved ones.

Its an MS Paint Adventure concept apparently. The sexual attraction you have to someone you hate.
Or at least thats what google tells me.

Oh, well then.
That runs into a bit of a stick that Kin A) doesn't hate Tenten and B) that's like the opposite reason a hypothetical relationship would be toxic. Very much depends on who you're asking about.
In exalted, true resurrection is impossible. Yet there are clearly immaterial beings. So, how is "death" defined in exalted, where death is the state recovering from which is impossible?

Oh hey look, it's a "skip ahead to the most recent page" flag.
This sounds like an Emerald Ashes fic.

Well, Rinne Tensei is true Resurrection, as is the Kishō Tensei (but that's a 1 for 1 trade). In Naruto, there's really no point where you couldn't conceivably bring someone back provided you have sufficiently powerful techniques (and you were also willing to probably die in the attempt).
Trust me, you're better off not knowing. It's a road to madness.

The hatred derived from sexual attraction? Kin has issues.Oh, well then.

What your saying is we need that one environmental charm that lets us laugh off environmental hazards. At which point we can live perfectly happy in a volcano let alone the ocean.

For death, in Naruto i would have said the point where your soul departs to the pure world, but theres problems with that, including that afterlife crossroads, and that with that definition the fourth hokage didnt die (since his soul was sealed elsewhere). If you just try for soul leaves the body, you run into other problems, including that spirit release technique. And then you have people like orochimaru who leave bits of their soul lieing around, which also makes a mess of many definition.
In the end, in naruto it may not be possible to draw a truly clear line what is death and what is not, and in theory it can be reversed without limit given enough power and knowledge.
In exalted, the problem is different. There, by the fundamental mechanics of the universe, something is either alive or dead/undead, and truly reversing it is likely impossible without tearing up all creation (not necessarily effectively reversing it with enough exalted bullshit, but whatever result would still be "(un)dead" in the natural order sense, even if you put them back into a living body and soul-surgery them back to having positive life force). There are probably means to just look at something and see if its alive or dead by examining its place in the natural order.
However, where that line is exactly isnt necessarily easy to nail down either, although some being in Yu shan would likely know perfectly.

That is actually a combination of two charms, one of which we need Survival 5 to get.
HARDSHIP-SURVIVING MENDICANT SPIRIT
Cost: 10m
Mins: Survival 3, Essence 1
Type: Reflexive
Keywords: Combo-OK
Duration: Indefinite
Prerequisite Charms: None
The wilderness cannot subdue the heroes of the dawn. This Charm negates any environmental external penalties to Survival rolls made for the Solar. This means that the coldest glacier and the hottest desert are no more deadly for the Solar than the gentlest rolling plain. She can find food and water easily, she ignores inclement weather even when lightly dressed, and she does not suffer undue blisters, bug bites or plant poison even walking barefoot through the Far East. This Charm does not protect against environmental damage, however, so if the environment is deadly enough to force regular Resistance rolls, the Solar needs Element-Resisting Prana to endure it.

ELEMENT-RESISTING PRANA
Cost: —
Mins: Survival 5, Essence 3
Type: Permanent
Keywords: None
Duration: Permanent
Prerequisite Charms: Hardship-Surviving Mendicant Spirit
This Charm enhances the character's Hardship-Surviving Mendicant Spirit. When using that Charm, the character now becomes immune to environmental hazards. She can survive in a bonfire, underwater, in a volcano's caldera or in a pool of boiling acid, all with ease. She takes damage or suffers Poison, Crippling or Sickness effects only when directly inflicted upon her by some character's action.
Environmental damage inflicted via Charms, spells, etc. are replicating natural environmental damage, but it isn't actually natural. These are supernatural assaults that are directly inflicted upon characters. So, for example, Dragon Vortex Attack would, in fact, be able to inflict damage to someone under the aegis of Element-Resisting Prana.

(Unless we want to try for Steadfast Elemental Emperor Stance, I guess, which would make us invulnerable to an incredible amount of elemental, combination and kekkei genkai jutsu.)

Pretty much immediately. *Shrug* Exalted souls are made of two parts, Hun and Po, the one that represents the conscious mind or whatever gets stuck in the underworld and the other one gets thrown into the cycle of reincarnation again.
True Resurrection is impossible in Exalted because as soon as the person dies you're missing a good half of their soul. Naruto Resurrection wouldn't change that either.
Now that it's in the Naruto-verse? Tenten/any Solar could design a method for True Resurrection.

A Ninja's Friend
The air of the forge beat against Umeru's face, its heat a physical force. His spine popped as he stood, drawing the glowing bar from the furnace and over to his anvil. He set the hammer running with a kick at the pedal below, squinting through sparks as it began to pound away at the steel, flattening and stretching. It was decent stuff, a shipment from Wind Country, and the price had been a pleasant surprise. Wind's economy wasn't doing so well, it seemed.
Well, bad news for the Kazekage was good news for Umeru Saya, and he could look forward to a nice fat margin on the latest Academy order.
Soon the metal had been drawn out into a lumpy triangle, and Umeru began beating a thin handle into shape at the flat, fat end. He'd mill the finger ring in later, then get the knife over to the grinder. He checked the dull blade, flipping it in his hand to check the weight. Yeah. Wouldn't waste too much material getting it sharp and balanced. Ready to go.
Sure, it wasn't going to be the next White Fang or Kusanagi, but it was solid work for a training kunai.
"Um."
The voice came from the doorway to his workshop, and he whipped around, kunai held in fingers like burned sausages. A blunt, lumpy kunai without so much as a proper handle, but still. It counted.
...it had been a while since his ninja days.
The intruder was a girl in a pink jacket, hair tied into buns. Fresh from the Academy, if the shiny forehead protector was any indication. She'd probably been there a while, watching him work. Not the most interesting of sights, he was sure. He'd have drifted off himself, if not for the machine hammer smashing away next to him.
"Sorry to interrupt", she continued. "This is a ninja smith, right?"
Umeru looked at the ninja girl in a ninja village, then let his gaze move, silently and without condemnation, up to the ninja forehead protector hanging over the furnace, down to the ninja knife in his hand, and then past her, to the racks of ninja weapons and tools sitting out in his storefront. He turned his stare back to her, scratching his thick beard. Her face coloured in slow embarrasment.
"Well, anyway, my jounin-sensei said I should come talk to a ninja smith, so..."
"Aye?" His own voice surprised him. It had been a while. Rough and low, like a rusty sword scraping on cobblestones. "And I'm the closest to your parents' house, am I?"
"Uh? No!" She blinked. "You've got a good reputation for quality, and you're right in the middle of the list for price. Plus I asked a few chuunin, and three of them mentioned you as a good choice." She paused. "You're about the second from my house, not counting places that are just weapon stores."
Hm. That was flattering, at least.
"Well, if you're looking for forged goods, I sell pretty much anything a genin could need. Leave the money on the counter. I'll trust your forehead protector."
"Thank you, but I was-"
"After something more specialist? Puppet parts? Spare wire? I won't sell syringe darts if you don't have a medic-nin license."
"No! I mean, yes, maybe, those sound cool, but... I can't requisition gear yet, and I don't get supplies from the Academy any more, and I don't have a clan to foot the bill. I don't want to borrow money from Gai-sensei, and honestly, it seems like we're going to spend more time doing physical conditioning than E-ranks. So... I was wondering about a discount?" Seeing his expression, she waved her hands frantically. "A bulk discount! I'm going to need a lot of weapons, after all. Gai-sensei says he's going to train me as a tool user."
"A weaponsmaster? Hm. Big words, even from a pupil of the Green Beast." He tossed the rough kunai into a tray, ignoring her mutters, and cast about for another bar to heat. He'd grind them all together. "Well, maybe I'll consider it once you've actually made a name for yourself. Right now I'm busy with this order of-"
"Academy training kunai, right?"
The blacksmith paused, squinting at her from beneath his bushy eyebrows, then set the bar down.
"...I haven't finished it yet."
"No... but unless you're planning on grinding it down to a senbon, it's way too small and thin to be a standard kunai." She paused for a moment, then pushed on. "And the ring's wide enough for an explosive tag, but with such a light blade even just a bit of paper would throw the balance off. So it's just small and easy to spin. Academy-grade."
"...hrm." Umeru rubbed his beard again. "Alright. Fast talk for a green ninja. Stick around while I finish off this batch, and maybe I'll look at getting you a tab. Once we're done, though, you need to get a move on. This isn't a playground."
A few hours later, the kunai had been tempered, and the talk had been concluded. That was a while ago. The girl was still in the workshop.
"And that is one of Iou's old ideas. Unfortunately, he forgot to leave room for a handle. Shame, that. I kept it as a souvenir, of sorts."
"What about this one?"
"Oh, that's something from my own days in the research division. Turns out most ninja prefer using a sword or a bow, instead of a sword that turns into a bow. Besides, bows aren't the fashion among ninja these days."
"Huh." She twisted the slide on the hilt to and fro, watching it segment and twist from curved blade to dangerous-looking bowshaft and back. Carefully, but not gingerly, she returned it to its place on the wall. "So how about..."

Alright, so I made a slight adjustment to Tenten's character sheet, because I felt some of the decisions I made when I originally made it weren't exactly valid anymore. So in short, Tenten now has an additional Dodge pip and two additional Craft pips.
Excellent! +2XP to your total.

Yessss. RST here we go.
They're the little dots on the character sheet that represent our abilities. This means Crilltic granted us one extra point in Dodge and two in Craft.

I probably should have said dots because that's the Exalted terminology, but I've been playing way too much EUIV lately. (For those who don't have that context, commander stats in EUIV are called "pips" as slang)
Edit: Also, can people who have outstanding XP please assign it? It makes it kind of hard to plan around unassigned XP. I'm not going to like mass-ping people because I'm not that guy, but if you see this please do so.
