>>5819623In her words, it was better to have a few techniques you could execute flawlessly as an instinctual part of your own nature than a bunch that you had to sort through with decision paralysis. When seconds counted, having jutsu baked into your skull and carved in stone was better than having a bunch more leaking out of your ears and written in soluble ink. Apparently even Jonin favored a more curated, small selection rather than going around spamming tons of different shit. Maybe she was wise, maybe she was overly pessimistic in your skills, but you resolve yourself to learning at a measured, linear pace regardless.
>You gain +0.5 to either Stamina (For going hard to the mega.) or Intelligence (For constantly wracking your mind for tactics.)>You now know Water Spikes>This jutsu solidified pre-existing water in the environment to solidify and lance at targets.>Most likely the medium for this would be mist generated with Hide in Mist, but it could be anything.>The spikes lose their solidity almost immediately after stabbing, but if you held one in your hand you could maintain its form and use it as a weapon.Naoki learns Wind Release: Breakthrough (Which seems to be the wind analogue to Water Bullet.). After that, he starts working on learning Wind Release: Whirlwind Fist, but his progress is quite stilted. During the weak he finally masters Chakra Adhesion.
>Naoki’s Ninjutsu increases by 0.5 because he focuses on fixing his weaknesses.Masami picks up Lightning Release: Electromagnetic Murder, which basically means she can now leak electricity out of her hands in a steady stream like some kind of evil sorcerer, though unfortunately her power output was somewhat low. She begins learning another technique, not necessarily a jutsu, but a chakra flow technique: She can imbue her sai (Which you keep forgetting she has.) with lightning now. She’s not super good at ninjutsu, and though she can pull off both techniques, her results were a bit underwhelming. She gets better at summoning jutsu with Hotaru’s help though, she can now summon different types of weird crabs and swarms of smaller crabs. She has three different crabs you’re aware of that she can summon at will: Kanihako, who is essentially a generic giant crab that likes carrying things and being used as a mount, Denki, a boxing crab with anemones over its claws like electric boxing gloves, and Murekani, a swarm of about 100 identical normal sized crabs. She could summon other crabs, but what she got was random if she didn’t know a specific named crab to look for. Apparently summoning was quite chakra intensive, taking a big initial burst to substantiate a crab plus a steady flow to keep them in the impure world.
>Masami increases her Hand Seals by 0.5 so she can get her summons off almost instantly and more easily juggle her sai.
