    >"Are you sure? Because if you are I know a man, Genpachi."

    Tomaru nods his assent and once you tell him where the Hidden Mist is he points you to the waterfall system that will dump you out in the sea, allowing you to go home, summon him, and then have him reverse summon you and Gen back to the Springs.

    A few hours later you and Gen, who is looking thoroughly disturbed at the notion of using a seal on a living thing like this. He has covered Tomaru in tattoos, drawings, and seals before he takes the paper and is about to wrap it around the blade before Tomaru stops him, superheats a piece of volcanic stone and has Gen carve them into the blade before performing the seal. A flash of light emerges and when it dims the blade seems to be slightly different.

    The blade is serrated fully now and colored black from Tomaru's spines. Additionally, when you grip it, the weapon feels alive in your hands, like Samehada, however yours talks to you, conversing in your mind the simple word of excitement. The blade also wants you to go into battle with it, to test itself out and feed its hunger.

    You and Gen head home as he looks at the sword and mentions, "I take it I overloaded your old one? I'm sorry to hear that, I know you were fond of it." he said as he looks at the new blade, much more organic looking, almost seeming like its a part of you to him as he says, "But I have to admit, that new one is something else. What are you going to call it?'

    At your words the blade heats up on your back and eagerly anticipates your time of need.

    You head out across the waters and when you reach the costal town it isn't long before you see the devastation caused by the whale. The people have long since abandoned this area, but the whale still attacks. As you snoop around for clues you suddenly feel its presence as the massive whale emerges, tail high as it smashes down the water at you, a moderate spray of solid water which would probably knock out out.

    Your blade leaps to your hand of its own accord and glows white hot, evaporating all the water as it gets close to you, keeping you safe. However, you feel that the effort of that ability drained some of your chakra, that Tomaru needed your input for that. As the whale dives again you see something, the shimmer of a body atop it, and when you focus your senses you detect a shinobi with their own chakra hidden riding atop the whale, invisible.

    The whale comes up again and smashes into the shoreline, its reasoning seems to be non-existant, and the lung capacity of the shinobi in control appears to be the only stabilizing factor. When he rises up this time, however, the water is forced forward by a blast of wind that blows apart another building. This appears to the man's game, to wreck lives because he can.

    Your blade burns in your hand as it feels your distaste and disgust. To your surprise it channels this feeling into a mutation, long hooked spikes popping out along the length of the blade before reverting in.

    As you surge your chakra through the blade you sense it responding to you, churning and bubbling steam crawls out in trendrils right under the surface of the blade.

    The shinobi doesn't realize you have landed behind him until he feels the blade's chakra surging, when he turns, kunai spinning in his hand, he doesn't quite recognize how the weapon's serrated edge ripples in anticipating for the grisly task ahead. When you beat the man to the punch, by a country mile it may be said, you not only take off his arm, but his body, and as your blade kisses the flesh and sweeps through it, the steam ejects, exploding and cauterizing the wound, as well as tenderizing the impending flesh, muscle, and even bone as it cuts right though the man. Not only that, but the blood seems to be consumed by the handle of your blade as you get the feeling of a pleasant meal being eaten from your sword as his two pieces fall into the sea. The whale stops its erratic motions and idly paddles for a bit before descending.

    "Delicious."

    Japan has like 3 different alphabets or so and at least one of them is phonetic, but the phonetic alphabet is still limited due to not being based on letters but whole sounds.

    That is why you have engrish. Because the japanese alphabets are based on sounds, not letters.

    Just as the head and upper body fall into the sea you swing down and long blades explode out from all around your blade, turning it from a single sided cleaver into a hellish visage of spikes and a single blade. You lift the torso up with relative ease, suspended in a macabre display, the spikes jutting through the arms, heart, and mouth, as if to say that rogue shinobi are little more than meat to the slaughter.

    Upon returning home and assessing Intel you find he's not quite bingo book worthy, but rather that he's a Mist shinobi who got disillusioned with the system after becoming a Chunin and went rogue, taking the ability to control sea life with him. He used it for meaningless rage. With difficulty the ANBU agents reverse the last few seconds of his head to his head as they withdraw the technique's knowledge from him and record it, finally letting the mind rest forever as they take the body, seal all its tenketsu, and burn it forever.

    2 chakra gets a 'guardian' class salamander, like Tomaru. 3 chakra and a point of determination gets a 'giant' salamander. 'Boss' class summons take 5 chakra and 3 det, plus 1 nindou for the biggest boss.

    Unfortunately that's true. Shimaru just kills everyone in his path so quickly, that we've never gotten a chance to showcase his skills at preparing a battlefield for maximum advantage, except for the Raikage fight where we prepared specific counters to the Raikage's attacks and defenses.

    If a technique or something gets mentioned, look it up on the Naruto wiki to learn what it does.

    As for the character:
    We're an operator who operates, a professional above all else.
    A quick comparison would be a fusion of TF2 Sniper and Big Boss.
    We're honest, in the sense of we don't betray comrades or friends, but that doesn't mean we can't lie or use deceit if its part of the mission.
    For dialogue, remember that Shimaru is a taciturn, polite speaker. Don't get wordy.

    For how to be professional:
    Professionals have Standards.
    Be Polite.
    Be Efficient.
    Have a plan to kill everyone you meet.

    Reading the quest would be a good idea, if you like it, but as a character Shimaru is supposed to be sullen and a very professional ninja, "a tool of the village." He's not supposed to waste words. We have actually had amicable relations with the Leaf though, but killed the Third Raikage and his wife (under missions). He is very good at killing things with a sword.

    It's a shame weird little odds and ends like the other advanced natures, kekkei genkai, and other stuff really isn't elaborated on as much as it could be. Now we have kekkei tota too, which Dust Release supposedly is.

    I mean, what hasn't been covered? A bit.

    Scorch release, blast release, and magnet release are all mentioned but none of them are defined.

    We've only ever seen one storm release technique, and only one boil release technique. (And only one storm release user, though Darui is probably going to be important. He's got too much background not to be. Only one ice release person too, Haku, though he had a fair bit to show for it. The current Mizukage might show off more of her moves eventually.)

    Combinations that aren't defined:

    Fire - Lightning (Could easily be Blast but not sure)
    Fire - Wind (Probably Scorch)

    Lightning - Wind
    Lightning - Earth (Probably Magnet)

    Wind - Earth

    Not even getting into the three-way craziness.

    Here is the wiki's ideas on it, and I like Blast release as lightning and earth, just because it matches my notion of a complementary lightning/earth combo (ala the fire/wind we've seen) being one where the lightning detonates the rock, causing it to explode. to elaborate, those hypothesized natures are Scorch(used to microwave someone once, basically) for Fire/Wind, Blaze(like Amaterasu) for Fire/Lightning (I would imagine plasma like effects for more basic jutsu) and magnet for wind/lightning.

    Personally I would prefer it not be a hard and fast rule that when two natures mix that makes a specific effect, and the ones we've seen through kekkei genkai are just what has been done with two natures at once. Most ninjutsu are from mixtures of yin and yang chakra, and the difference comes from the amounts, so perhaps the same could be said of elemental chakra. Also, Wood release is obviously Yang/Earth/Water

    -Visit Yuki, get the arm checked and see how she is doing.
    -Visit our fence to see if she has anything interesting to blow our money on


    May I suggest that we gather our team and have some team-training sessions?

    Alright, so people seem to want to use our new UA for the Flicker Blade style. What exactly do you want it to do? We gotta be specific here.
    One of the ideas bandied about when it was first suggested was that the sword flickers into our hand only for the moment that it's needed, such as blocking, or materializing inside the torso of an enemy.
    Have it flicker in and out while we try to swing it around doesn't seem like it would actually be that useful, since any increased speed of our swing allowed by the sword not being there, would be arrested as soon as it came into existence and we had to impart inertia on it again.

    Now, for our next Nindo, I think we should go with "I will never leave a teammate behind". It builds upon "I am an Honest Man" and "I am a Professional", but is still different enough from those two to stand on its own.

    A little too grandiose, and it kind of conflict with our current "I will bring change to the shinobi world".

    So far, Nindo choices are:
    1. I do what needs to be done (clarification: does this mean 'The Ends Justify the Means'? If not, perhaps reword to prevent misinterpretation)
    2. No teammate left behind
    3. I always complete my missions

    Ok, some brewing on IRC has yielded this for approval from the players.

    Blazing Sea Armor- An improvement on our Avatar of the Sea. For 2 Determination to activate while we are currently protected by the Avatar of the Sea we compress the water and superheat it to a boil, all the while keeping ourselves safe from the burning heat. We are able to shunshin and move as normally, but when we do so our Armor moves in a rapid after-image, smashing into any target we get close to with our shunshin. Additionally, the pressurized water gives us double our current damage reduction, and increases the power of our sword strokes by our Water Talent as well. Finally, when we get a critical hit while in this form the damage is increase by 2.5x for our melee attacks and water-style attacks, rather than the usual 2x.

    UNKNOWN SHIT.

    Scorch = It's super hot wind that drys everything out. most likely fire + wind.

    Explosion = Guess what it does. earth + wind or earth + lightning.
    Magnets = How do they work? wind + lightning or earth + lightning.
    Steel = Turns your body into steel. No fuckin idea + Bullshit. God damn why are the movies canon.

    My idea was fairly simple in the sense that it only reduces the cost of summoning by factor of 1 (chakra and det).
    It is a boring idea though but at least it means we can use our "resources" more efficiently.
    While "Blazing Sea Armor" is extremely deadly, it is only optimal on 1-on-1 fight (seeing how it would deplete our det pretty fast if we use it during a battle against many foes)

    Anyway, I will not press for anything, the Armor is pretty awesome so lets get on with the plot, shall we?

    Summon UA's:
    Summoned Form - 2 Chakra + 2 Determination, sustained 1 chakra per turn. Morph into a hybrid form with a summon, acquiring their special abilities as well as double damage reduction. Fire Salamander = Fire Breath, damage is ninjutsu + Fire Talent, become immune to fire jutsus. Water Salamander = Water Breath, can produce large amount of water, water can either heal allies for Ninjutsu + Water Talent, or damage enemies for Ninjitsu + Water Talent, become immune to water jutsus. Poison Salamander = ?

    I also had an idea of something that would let us channel chakra through and control any number of regular salamander summons, for battlefield awareness and setting up trap fields.

She's currently working on her own skills in the basement of her apartment which she converted to an amazing shinobi training room.

    "I'm sure you're as capable as ever, Captain." She says with a smile as she looks at your hand and touches it, inspecting how your bones respond to her touches and senses how the bones still respond to her kekkei genkai. "Fascinating. It's like part of me on you." She said before setting you down and helping you manipulate your chakra through the bones, even allowing you to repair the bones when she chips them. By the end of the session you can make the bones hard like she can make hers, but additionally you can pull out your forearm bone and watch as it regrows as you remove it.

    Mangetsu hears your words and agrees wholeheartedly, wanting to not be even a little bit less than his best so that he can make you and his teammates proud.

    Dinner is soon served. The restaurant is empty and you are seated. As you sit down suddenly five signatures appear around you as all five of his various bodyguards flank the table and then he himself enters the room. He kissed his fingers and then the doorframe before sitting down across from you, "Shimaru Yamada. It is a pleasure to meet you in person for a more prolonged conversation." He says as he looks at the owner of the inn/restaurant with a smile, the man's hands and body instantly jumping to the task of making some food.

    "It is the job of a Leader to be approachable and open." he said with a smile as you and he are served some excellent beef. He thanks the cook for the meal as he is poured a drink, but requests water instead. He sips from it and then begins to eat. A while passes as he speaks, "You seek Orochimaru? The Pale Serpent is currently out of my charge, he and his partner the Red Scorpion have been on personal leave for at least two months. However, he is slated to return as early as next week, if you would care for a meeting with him, I will send him over to speak to you presently."

    Replace 'deal' with 'promise'.
    While ultimately they both mean the same thing, they give off a different tone. 'Deal' sounds too business-like, detached and cold. 'Promise' is more warm and "trustful".

    If we strive for a character who is less verbose, we must learn to say as much as possible with less words as possible.

    Besides, to we cannot really call it a 'deal' since there was no formal signing of agreement..... which I find rather strange. Shinobi, noble, trustful or not, we should put all agreements (especially such an important one as alliance with Akatsuki) on paper.
    ..Or did it happen in back ground?

    >>16546842
    I kind of want to ask how Akatsuki is doing.

    Shimaru experienced first-hand the mind-altering technique of this guy, and he can feel the same effect working on him even now.
    You have to remember that Akatsuki is technically a mercenary organization made up of criminals and terrorists, employing rogue ninjas and internationally wanted criminals at high levels. While their stated goal sounds very rational and reasonable, you can't forget their origins, even though they've fulfilled the stated requirements of the alliance to the letter.

    Hmm, alright I guess that makes sense. But we don't really have IC data to not trust them besides our paranoia. They have shown to hold their word and it seems we are getting a good deal out of it [maybe /too/ good]. And no one can say what kind of ability Satori is using, for all Shimaru knows it is some kind of natural passive ability [I doubt it]
    I wasn't implying rainbows and hugs though. We may be professional but that does not mean we need to be so.... I don't know... cold? Leery? We could try not to show it at least (..though, would that be against our "Honest man" ideal?)

    ----

    I wanted to suggest that we spend the next day training with our team and in the evening we take them all to a nice restaurant with a private room and treat them (we did get good amount of money). And we could also invite Gen and Aya too, and if things go good they will befriend them and our team will have someone they can trust who can make high-quality scrolls and stuff. And I think being a dedicated scroll painter for Seven Swrodsmen will work out great for Gen reputation wise.

    >But we don't really have IC data to not trust them
    Actually, yes we do.
    1. They employ Orochimaru, known S-Rank internationally wanted rogue ninja, who has a reputation of performing illegal and banned human testing.
    2. They also employed Deidara, who murdered an important Hidden Stone shinobi in order to steal her Forbidden Technique.
    3. Their ranks, until the alliance with the Mist, Leaf, and Stone, were composed of unknown and rogue ninjas.

    And even if the ability that Satori is using is some kind of passive effect, that only means that he has a kekkei genkai to Shimaru, and should be treated with suspicion.

    Shimaru's coldness towards Akatsuki derives from their reputation and the quite possible inevitable betrayal.
    There's also the difference between Shimaru, a professional, and Satori, an idealist. Shimaru can get along with other shinobi, such as the Konoha ones like Might Guy, Kakashi, and Asuma because they're also professional mercenaries like himself. But Satoris is an idealist leader, the kind that use mercenaries and professionals, without being one himself. That's not to say that Satori isn't a strong fighter himself, just that he's not another professional.

    Finally, as to the dinner.
    Bringing Gen and Aya would be a social misstep. Gen, while he might have worked on the seals for the Swordsmen's swords, isn't a member of the team. Even more so for Aya, who's in Intelligence as an analyst. If everyone had just finished working on some big project together, then it would be acceptable, but you're just forcing everyone together for your own selfish reasons and socially this only makes an awkward situation.

    I like this part, the training bit, but I want to expand it. Not just training with the Seven, but getting every ANBU to train with us. We need to become an elite killer force that can not be defeated by any thing.

    Also, we have reason not to trust him. He wants to bring down the Kages, and has already attacked us once.

    Regarding Kimimaro, maybe we should ask Leaf or Stone if they have any information on him? Or maybe we should try to track him from the killing field?

    Considering that the ONLY defenses that the Hidden Mist Village has right now are ANBU and the Swordsmen, I suppose we will be working closer together.
    Even if we get our ninjas back from Akatsuki if they betray the Villages, we won't get them all, and at worst might only get a handful back who resisted Satori's mind control.

    But anyway, back to the immediate goals and activities: sparring session with Yuki to see if we can push her to new heights, and work on our kekkei genkai. Set up training between Seven Swordsmen and combat-oriented ANBU. See if we can talk with Kisame, ask about Orochimaru and if he's changed because his recent work is different from his reputation. Finally, talk with Orochimaru, get a deal to heal Mangetsu fully.

    One more thing: after we get Orochimaru to heal Mangetsu, we should find out what Cloud and Sand have been doing this past week. Also, I think we should ask Leaf and Stone how the alliance with Akatsuki has been working out for them. Get confirmation that everything is on the up and up.

    Also, since OP insisted so much that for all his evil and villainy, Orochimaru is a pretty trusty guy who will keep his word when give, we must make sure that our Deal does not have loopholes in it and does not allow leeway.
    Like, for example, Orochimaru putting something inside Mangetsu that has nothing to do with his healing.

    You arrive at the Sanctuary the next morning where Yuki is stretching and wearing a kimono instead of her usual attire. She tells you that this will help her be forced to use her bloodline limit more, rather than relying on her armor. She also puts her headband down and put her hair in buns, showing her Kaguya dots. With a sigh of affirmation she adopts a lazy ready position, one hand forward, the rest of her body relaxed. "Ready, Captain."

    You are correct, sorry! No fight for now, more conversation!

    >"Do you have any progress with other hidden villages?"

    "The Sand expressed reluctance after hearing the Leaf had joined, but they came around. The Stone submitted willingly, and only the Cloud stands against us now." He says as he pays for the meal and thanks the cook as he rises, "Shimaru Yamada, I know how important the Mist's well-being is to you, and I want to honor that. The Cloud is amassing a grand army on their borders and they are ready to march on the Mist in short order. I personally promise you they won't get off the shore." he says and offers you a handshake with a smile.

    Why are you trying to go easy on her? She is practically immune to physical attack. The only thing that would be 'mean' is using samehada to eat all her chakra, plus it would shorten the amount of training that could be performed.

    You rush towards her with your sword whistling through the air as she breathes out and the bones from her bloodline shoot outwards, forming a carapace of chakra enhanced bones that protects her as you smash into her with your blade.

    She's thrown clear across the room and hits the wall with a thud, clattering to the ground before climbing up to her feet. She looks none the worse for wear and in fact you've only managed to chip the every outside of the bones you hit.

    "I am attacking." She says and lunges forward, her hypodermic arm-blades shooting out of her hands as she takes a single swipe at you.
