Update 20: It throws the knife at the target and then it does it again
  • Threadmarks
    • Three. Godamned. Weeks. Three weeks. Three weeks of doing nothing with Yamaguchi but throwing kunai into targets over, and over, and over again.

    You were prepared for her to come in, pull the drill sergeant act and berate you. That you could have dealt with, it'd have been endearing even! The whole schtick would have been sort of enjoyable in an amusing way. Instead she's just sort of...relentlessly patient. After every few throws she makes a minor correction or encourages you, or tells you that you're getting there! And there's no need to worry! You have plenty of time to get it!

    It has completely thrown you. It's the nightime step effect almost, you'd have dealt fine with belligerence, you'd anticipated that, but instead you got courtesy. It doesn't help that you've been having trouble with it. Your general agility and dexterity are fantastic but somehow that doesn't translate all that well to hurling a pointy piece of metal at a target.

    • Throwing pointy little pieces of metal. How quaint. Now, about that railgun we were discussing earlier…

    Seriously, did anyone ever achieve anything useful with kunai throwing in Naruto? People usually try to sell some bullshit about kunai training building solid foundations and so on, but that's clearly misdirection. I mean, what kind of foundation is formed from the muscle memory for throwing a specifically shaped and balanced tool. A foundation for being a useless supporting character probably. We should go for something a bit more optimal, I reckon.

    We are almost there. Also we have a pretty good instructor.

    Edit: Also should we start working on our chakra control again or let it naturally go up by itself?

    Hey, hey, don't be rash. A foundation in kunai throwing will let us do cool spinny knife tricks before it lands in our railgun and is propelled to ludicrous speed. :V

    Speaking of, I think we should learn how to make seals. Not because fuinjutsu is OP or anything, because that depends heavily on the interpretation of the setting the author uses, and the really high end stuff requires tutors we won't have access to. It's rather because sealing, well, seals stuff away - including electricity, maybe? Using seals as capacitors is certainly one way to overcome chakra pool limits, and since it isn't chakra, we wouldn't need to bother with the all the finicky business of gently reintroducing it into our system. Just dump the voltage out and steer it with lighting affinity and you're set. Less versatile, obviously, but probably doesn't need a super fuinjutsu teacher we won't have.

    Plus that way my mental image of chasing thunderstorms and braving the driving rains so we can cage the lightning can happen. It can be a poetic metaphor for something or other, maybe.

    I stand by me belief that it is counter productive to let this tutoring time pass too quickly.

     
    So after our Lightning manipulation levels up should we switch to trying to raise our water affinity? Or should we try to raise our lightning affinity to A rank?
     
    I would stick on lightning for two reasons. The first is that I believe that specialization generally performs better than generalization in character design. The second is that we are less efficient at learning water affinity than lighting,.
     
    I'd go for chakra control, because we need chakra control A to go for lightning manip A

    I'd hope for some more agility and chakra control after lightning ranks up.
