The first step is finding out Tenten's elemental affinity (Wind+Fire=Sun?). Fuinjutsu is probably a good way of covering elements she doesn't have an affinity for. If she turned out to have a lightning affinity, we could look into the appropriate Ninjutsu.


Edit: Air=Fire

Hrm. Lightning bolt Tenten? Elemental affinity is obviously metal and air. ;)
 
Tenten had, in canon, a giant exploding fire dragon sealed into one of her scrolls. So yeah, you can make Fire Element Seals.
Speaking of seals, can I get a ruling on that storage seal issue I pointed out? The one concerning releasing objects in confined spaces. Because I really like the idea of wrist-mounted flame/acid throwers (I have technical drawings!).
 
I(A)M is the most powerful and important combat charm in the entire game, with the possible and contextual exception of Reflex Sidestep Technique.
Though equally it's worth noting we can't use it to full effect until we hit E4. It's still useful before then, just not quite so ungodly useful.
 
We do have to remember the most important thing of all. Tiger Warrior Training! War charms are neat. Tiger Warrior Sakura is still my dream in life.

Why?

Konoha is not short of tutors, and Tenten does not have a need to raise an army in a couple months.
Nor does it look anything like her Motivation.
So again: Why?

I mean, I could see Solar!Danzo beelining for the Tiger Warrior charms, along with Presence and Socialize.
But I can see no reason why Tenten would.
And it's not like Sakura needs it; the girl made S-class at sixteen in canon with no hax besides hardwork and skill.
She can do it again with appropriate motivation.

Because it's cool and fun? And she is a Dawn, being an unstoppable general is good for that! She could even have a cloak with various metal bits on it. Yep.
 
Sakura gets to (and past) tiger warrior stats on her own just fine. It seems pretty redundant.

If we ever go to war though, we would make for a pretty bitchin' Academy teacher.

Granted, it will hit Sarutobi's child soldier buttons, but you can't have anything.




Also, I wonder if the Essence unlocking abilities, or granting Solar Charms to subordinates, will work on fellow ninjas.

It should. I mean, we don't have any issues with having both Essence and Chakra, so no one else should either.

At most we would probably Enlighten them though. The one's letting them use Solar Essence usually require the Exalt to commit some of their own to make it keep working.

Wind and Air are the same thing. If someone was guessing what Solar Essence was as a Bloodline Limit, they'd guess it was Wind+Fire. Probably call it Sun Release or something like that. Though then that would raise questions why Tenten only demonstrates an affinity for one element.

True, I was thinking our Essence might be entirely due to the Solar Exaltation, but we do have both personal and peripheral pools.

And yeah, committing our motes is less than ideal, but it may have its uses. We may wanna consider giving Lee some Charms to help give him a boost, share some of the bullshit. Or use Sasuke as a poisoned fruit to Orochimaru by granting him IPP, and let Orochimaru abandon his body and find himself utterly vulnerable and unable to possess his target.

But mostly giving something to Lee. Enlightening him would be pretty great. Just letting him channel virtues would be good.

Martial Arts techniques are the easiest way to enlighten someone if I remember correctly. Though we would probably need some Solar memories to access that knowledge though. It's kinda weird having both essence and chakra since they are basically the same thing but from different settings.

True.
But odds are we'd be more valuable on the frontlines anyway.
And while playing Academy teacher would be funny, methinks most people didn't sign up for that shit.

Some strategies belong in empire builder quests, not the first-person variety.

Lee can already crack open 5 Gates while he's 14 without help; that's arguably well in CMA territory on it's own.
Not really sure anything else isn't gilding the lily.

Honestly, the best thing Tenten can do for Lee is ensure he's back on his feet without damage, and be able to fix him if(when) he should(inevitably)push himself beyond his limits.
(Again).

Because Wound Mending Care Technique on Lee or Gai makes it that much more feasible for them to pull high-risk, high payoff maneuvers.
And it fits her Limit Break conditions.

That inevitability will occur approximately five seconds after he wakes up and can move. Upon which time he will immediately begin trying to cure his physical ailments with the (in his mind) universal cure-all. Intensive physical exercise.

Now now. No need for hostilities. It is just saying that it would be interesting to be a legendary master/mentor, specially depending on the situation of the village.

Since Canon is crying in its corner we dont know what will happen and producing spectacular results training other ninjas it would certainly make for a valuable resource for the village.

Hell we would want to have war up there since command is a necessity for higher tiers of ninjas and is very highly regarded. Look at Shikamaru and Shikaku.

Well I would certainly not mind making Tenten the Goddess-Empress of the Elemental Nations~

We could do it on the move if necessary. Stroll into a friendly village and use Fury Inciting Presence to organize a bunch of normal people into a military unit then use Tiger Warrior Training to make them into elite soldiers in about a month. We don't have to stay in the same place for long. Just set up the logistics for a military supply train then we can skip into town for a couple days, pick out the best prospects from the town's youth and incorporate them into our army. We make a circuit of all the villages in the area while striking out to the front lines when we are called up.

There's a Lore Charm that's not too hard to get that lets you enlighten people; Soul-Enlightening Beneficence. Second Charm in its tree, Lore 4, Essence 3.

Not really? Chakra is the energy formed from combining mental and spiritual energies together inside the body, whereas Essence is basically the fundamental energy which everything that exists is formed from.

Actually, true bullshit would be enabling them to make use of the Gate of Death without dying, and moreover recovering to 100% fit. If Naruto could save Gai, we probably could too.

Granted, that's a really perilous leap of faith for the two to make, but Gai with all Eight Gates open can kill almost anyone in the setting. Ignoring Tailed Beasts and Madara tier opponents, maybe Obito or Kakashi can shunt Gai into a dimension and let him slowly expire, but even that has its perils.

I mean just from a negotiation standpoint, that's a vicious trump card to have sitting on the table.

Such a pity Tenten sucks at social.
Because if there ever was a case for Glorious Solar Intervention.....

Now now. No need for hostilities.
I'm not being hostile; my apologies if my colloqialism gave that impression.

*SNIP*
Classic case of Solaritis: It's not whether you can, it's whether you SHOULD.
This is how you get the Warring Clans Era.

For one thing, it takes longer than a month to train a shinobi army even with TWT.
Martial Arts, Resistance, Athletics, Willpower, Chakra Skill.....adding two dots to each of those costs a week for each dot, with motes committed for the duration.
All that is time you spend in the area.

And then you have to ask whether all those other villages will contentedly watch you training up armies out of peasants without showing up to slaughter them.
Or if your own side is happy with you creating armies personally loyal to you.

And then there's the question of whether it's appropriate for this story.
The Narutoverse isn't a story of battalions of soldiers throwing themselves into the fray successfully; the Inverse Ninja Law is in full effect here.
And it's not like we have ample time to spare.

There is the little issue of the 3CD/Incarna/Elder Exalt bunny goddess who is coming back to eat our faces judge us all in several years time.
And her agents/dupes in the real world. Like the Rinnegan user who has to be the closest thing to a high-rank Celestial Akuma currently squatting in Rain.
Or the perfect dodge Uchiha currently puppeting the scheme. Or the Zetsus. And all their agents. Plus whatever Orochimaru cooked up.

And we don't know if our Exaltation was alone.

Train for eight hours, march for eight hours, sleep for eight hours. That is how you do it on the move. At least in the summer when the days are long. Of course we would have to make our troops tough enough to do that. During the winter months we would probably want to bunker down though.
