Mind giving us a rundown of what the stats you're going to use are and what effects they'll have?

You'll get the rundown when you first start training something. I'll probably also start a database thread, for stats and jutsu.
This choice is just as I said, a bonus and everything can still be increased later, this is just an extra increase. Oh, and as Vegeta noted, you are indeed already rather intelligent.
You have standard chakra (100) and know nothing of chakra control (bonus will be applied when you first start "training" that), stats without quantifiers (some will be hidden, some not) are used to increase the effectiveness at which you use certain stats. Yeah, I'll explain this better later, once I've finished tweaking.
Edit: If you're curious, "later" should be soon (next day in the cyoa's timeline) and you could postpone voting on the bonus till then (if everyone agrees on this).

If this is the case... Then I'll like to postpone the bonus, as long as there are no penalties.

Sure, no problem. You'll still need to vote on your answer to what you've just been told in the story, though.

And I'd also like to delay the bonus until later.

“I’m really having a hard time grasping all this” You begin. “But from what I gather, you’re trusting me, so thanks for that, I guess.” “Heh, you’re taking it better than we did.” Genji says, as he points at himself and Genma. “Yeah, I thought Kyo and Chikage were both off their rockers, at first.” Genma adds, laughing. Kyosuke just smiles, as Chikage beams at you and says “What about you? Can you trust us?” “I guess I do. I mean, my gut says to trust you…” “Great!” She answers you. “Then you can stay with us?” She adds. “Stay?” You stammer. “I didn’t think about that, I really should be making my way further south.” “We were planning to stay here for about a week. Afterwards we were headed south anyway. You can travel with us, in group or you can go ahead yourselves. Just so you know, ever since the battle reached Central country, the surrounding countries have been on edge. We’ve already noticed an increase in the border patrols for West Country and there’s no doubt in my mind East and South country have done the same. Given some preparations we should be able to cross unseen, all of us, but I can tell you that you won’t, especially not as you are now.” Kyosuke interrupted. “If I were you, I’d stick around, I’m pretty sure me and my brother would’ve been captured or injured by now, if we hadn’t.” Genma tells you, Genji nodding. “Please” Chikage begs. “Our plans aren’t set in stone, maybe we can stick together and still do what your dad told you to do?”
Maybe it was because you had been alone for a month, or because they had fed you, or because you were tired, yet content, but you had no intentions of leaving this group just yet. Going over your options in your head, you decide to
A) Stick with them unconditionally (staying there for a week) B) Ask them to go south together a few days ahead of time. C) Ask them to go south together (nearly) immediately, make preparations for crossing asap D) Stay put a while longer (longer than a week), then go south together
note: you're not crossing the border immediately after going south no matter what you pick

Not because I'm impatient, but because border patrols may increase if we wait a week.

B Not because I'm impatient, but because border patrols may increase if we wait a week. Of course you aren't, I'm Impatient Also: note: you're not crossing the border immediately after going south no matter what you pick So you won't run into border patrol just yet, no matter which you choose.

Maybe it was because you had been alone for a month. Or because they had fed you and gave you a place to rest, a safe haven from the outside world in turmoil. Maybe just because you were tired, yet content, but you had no intentions of leaving their group.
In fact, you had decided to go along with them. After all they seemed to have more experience surviving out in the wild than you. “Sure, I’ll stay for now. Staying here a week shouldn’t hurt, right?” You say. Once the words had come out of your mouth, you felt relieved, all the tension you’ve felt the last few weeks seemingly lifting off your shoulders instantly. Kyosuke smiles “Then, you’re on of us now.” The others had now also dropped their serious demeanour, engaging in idle conversation, which had probably helped you relax. On the other hand, your relaxed state along with your filled stomach made you feel a bit drowsy. Looks like you shouldn’t stay up much longer…
A) Go to bed, rest is important
B) Stay up a little while longer 1) ask for survival 101 (basically 3 votes back’s C shortened) 2) ask for fighting 101 (basically 3 votes back’s B shortened) 3) ask for brief news of the world, if they have any

“So, what are we going to do this week?” You interrupt their conversation, prepared for a last stand in your fight against sleep. “Tomorrow morning Me and Genma are going out for breakfast” Kyosuke says as he focuses his attention on you. “You’ll probably be not much of a help if you came, right?” “Not really” you say, not even embarrassed of the fact. Kyosuke continues “We join you three for a meal and then we can go out for training. We’ve got excellent targets in the forest and no one should come here, so we better make use of that while we’re here. We really should focus on our ninjutsu training here, though taijutsu shouldn’t be ignored.”
Again you were confused. This one was tough. “Ninwhatnow?” You utter? “Oh, sorry, military term for when you focus your chakra-“ “Chakra?” You ask, though your confused look had been the cause of Kyosuke stopping midsentence. “There’s your schedule right there, you’ll be in here learning to manipulate your chakra for at least tomorrow. Chikage will be great help, just ask Genma or Genji, and we’ll try to help too, if we can. Anyhow, ninjutsu is basically manipulating chakra with help from of a set of hand seals. We’ve also got some signs of our own, you know, for general strategies, simple things like “cover me”, “go in” or “retreat”, we’ll get you caught up on those too somewhere this week. When you’ve grown enough, you’ll of course join us in hunting and in our spars.” Chikage pouts at this. “What’s wrong?” You ask her. “Kyosuke doesn’t want me training yet, so I can’t join their spars either.” She answers sadly. “Why not?” You ask her, but Kyosuke answers you. “She’s too young, plus she’s invaluable to our team. We don’t want her in the heat of battle.”
A) “Psh, if she wants to train, why can’t she train?” B) “Well, if she’s so invaluable, shouldn’t she be able to protect herself?” C) “You’re right. She should stay as safe as possible.” D) “True, she does look rather young…

“Well, if she’s so invaluable, shouldn’t she be able to protect herself?” You question. Chikage looks up, happier than before, awaiting Kyosuke’s response. “So far we’ve done fine protecting her… If you want to slow down your own training to she can start her own, you’ll need more time to train, setting back our little trip over the border a bit. Are you sure about that?” Tired as you are, you don’t even really think before you start to nod. Chikage, however, immediately stops you. “No, it’s fine, I’ll help you get started first. I’ve waited long enough, a few days more is nothing. Plus we can train and spar together while we’re catching up to the others.” She concludes, smiling at you.
A) Go to bed 1) agree with Chikage 2) agree with Kyosuke, likely postponing the border cross
B) Sleep is for wussies 1) agree with Chikage 2) agreeing with Kyosuke, likely postponing the border cross
If you choose B, you ask one more question before going to bed. Specify. Note that you’ve known them for less then a day, personal things can be asked, but don’t dig too deep yet.

Alright, I'll have you agreeing with Chikage. This pretty much concludes the prologue, the next day will be the first day of chapter one, most of which will act as a tutorial.
However, untill I've got some things sorted out/finished off irl, this will be on hiatus. Should be a week or two, I'll also try to finish the combat system during that time, so we can get right to training when I start again.
If you'd like to take this time to opt for B and work out a question still, be my guest. You'll have plenty of time to do so xp Of course, sticking with A is fine, too.

“Sure, let’s do that” you reply, as you stretch yourself out in preparation of getting up. “I’m going to bed, see you guys in the morning.” A few “Night”s and a “Sleep well” come your way as you turn around in search of your mattress and some well-needed rest. As you lie down you can’t help but feel a shiver of excitement across your spine, before you slowly drift off into the darkness…
END PROLOGUE
