[@Halvtand] [quote]I think I know what you're talking about here, and I'm also pretty sure that they weren't talking about chakra reserves, but chakra manipulation (because without it you can't be a ninja unless you have plot). The Uzumaki clan is the only family that we know about that has chakra reserves as a clan trait. Of course, if you are born in a ninja family, you're bound to start your ninja training at home and as you practice I believe your reserves will quite quickly outgrow that of normal people.[/quote] Okay, makes sense. I'll change that bit up, might change my ideas on him a bit now in regards to how he fights. [quote]This really doesn't make any sense, and I've met similar arguments in many games before. The thing is that your skill in a certain field is measured by the amount and ranks of techniques in that field. Almost any ninja is able to perform generic fighting with pretty much any weapon, it is the techniques that sets them apart, that lifts them above the rabble that hasn't trained enough to acquire sets, techniques, jutsus, katas... Call it what you want. There have been instances of people who are pretty much shit in a field to still overcome an opponent using those skills, but that is mostly more about serving the plot, or the fact that they are both worthless in the field. [/quote] Point. I still want him to main Kenjutsu, so I'll lower his Taijutsu and Ninjutsu accordingly. [quote]I still don't get it. Who wouldn't it make sense for her to be in Gobi before the birth, but practically immediately after is ok? Is there some event or circumstance you haven't told us about?[/quote] Well there was some traveling across the nations(while she was carrying) due to her exile from the clan. Reason for exile is that she was promised to the head of another clan in a political marriage, but she fell for a member of the Kajiya clan who then left her the moment it became clear that she was pregnant, leaving her to face the wrath of her family alone. Needless to say, it didn't go over very well, and for her dishonorable actions, she was banished form the clan, and effectively from Mizu no Kuni. I guess this is the another instance of me assuming things come across without saying them or thinking more than I actually write. [quote]I actually like that you have a plan with this. What kind of engravings are we talking about? Will your and MMGiru's character fight for supremacy?[/quote] The way I see it, probably not since they'll be going in very different directions, I think, in regards to how they'll apply their work. Kajiya sealing technique involves working in the seals during the forging process, using a mixture of chakra and specialized seals to get the best results. Since Tatsuya doesn't have that skill yet, he'll be trying to apply the seals after gee's made the weapon, which'll lead to them having to be redone after continuous use if painted on, and only being useful for a certain amount of time if engraved on the blade itself(since once the seal has been deformed, it'll be useless forever).
