Theres always fortune telling.
In Naruto? Not useless.
Ask the Great Toad Sage what he does with his time.
And you can always use it as a tag line:

Tenten: I have seen your destiny, and it is to be defeated by me.
Neji: Stop stealing my schtick, woman!
Purchase a speciality for Fortune telling?
Maxed out already:
- TWILIGHT:

Medicine ●○○○○
Occult ●●○○○ (Fortune-telling ●●●)​
It was popular, so people kept putting omake XP into it.
 
I wonder what Tenten will think when medical knowledge appears in her brain? We must find out!
 
Thank you Overlord Crilltic. I'll say I'mma do it then. It's useful short term and long term!
Keep at it.
Currently at Medicine 1; if you can get it up to Medicine 3 we can qualify for all the Medicine charms.

That stuff she read before but didn't understand during her hardcore Lady Tsunade phase is beginning to make sense, of course.
 
Flawless Diagnosis Technique should also be useful for information gathering purposes.

Itachi: Is going blind and dying from a lung problem.
Danzo: Is not blind and has a shargengon.
Lee:Is hurt is exactly this way so these exercises should be safe.

All other friends: catch any medical problem at the very first stage.

Edit: Never mind it is "
in the process of a formal diagnosis" I thought it would allow you to just look at someone and know what is wrong. Still it only takes 5 tick I wonder how far "formal diagnosis" can stretch?

5 Long ticks = 5 minutes.
You want to do instant diagnosis, you need Instant Treatment Methodology[E2, Medicine 2, Flawless Diagnosis Technique,a Medicine Excellency.]
Or a GM-approved stunt.
 
Um, as noted not really up on Exalted mechanics. I saw we had plenty of Willpower, considered how Tenten would overcome social akwardness and what I came up with was bad jokes, poor attempts to deflect, or sheer bullhededness. I went for the final option. She does not know how to handle the situation, socially, so she tries to just do the best she can. The willpower spending was more to represent that Tenten would take talking to a dead shinobi family member or lover seriouslly and try and give it her all. Even if she is really not the best person for it, this senior ANBU ninja asked her, and she would do what she could to honor that.
Okay, here's the thing:
-You regenerate, on average, one willpower per night of rest.
-You CAN regenerate willpower with good stunts, but this requires seriously threatening situations and is somewhat unreliable in quest format without exploiting Integrity charms to nudge your stunt ratings up.
-Willpower is used for:
--Resisting mental and social attacks.
--Powering the most potent charms available.
--Giving a small bonus to rolls
--Giving a modest bonus to rolls when channeling a Virtue

Overall you spend Willpower when it matters, not throw it at every random roll you encounter, because Willpower burns fast in a crisis.

Does it work like that? I don't think it works like that.
Well, fortunetelling is legitimate Thaumaturgy in Exalted so...(though it's more the type that says "your future is more or less likely to have X" rather than "you WILL X")

Thank you for the mechanical explantion.

That said, this does matter. Maybe not to you but to Tenten it sure as hell would.From a parctical perspective, releving an ANBU of a burden would help their eficiency and improve village security. And it would get her an in with another weapons user, an older more experienced one. Guy's hard fist style is hardly ideal for Tenten. She's good with knives but improving that to an actual kenjutsu skill would probably help too. And look: We have a kenjutsu user right here.

Tenten does have:
VIRTUES:
Compassion: ●●●○○​
So if the willpower was going through that, would that help? How would a stunt be forumalted then, mechanicly?

While we are at it, can you have an intimacy with an organistion or nation, like Konoha? Or the Konoha ninja corps?

EDIT: or do you expect Tenten to get into a fight to the death, or need to spend more WP today?
