>First thread: http://archive.foolz.us/tg/thread/31379061>Previous threads: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=Dead%20Last%20Ninja%20QuestYou are Naruto Uzumaki, born without any blessings and with the ever present stigma of your dead father's shame.Previously: You chose not to defile the faces of the Kage, instead using that time to work on your clone technique to finally pass the Ninja Academy's final exam; the one that you've already failed twice.After meeting with an inspirational sensei that clawed and thrashed his uselessness away, you meet the day of the exams head on! While you did poorly at the written exams, you managed to barely pass with your completion of the Bunshin No Jutsu.Though you met with resistance from one of the proctors, that went ahead and made a derisive remark on the side that sent you storming out, slugging a bully in the face after declaring your passing.On your way to training, you met a stupid little kid pretending to be a fence and ended up telling him off after he threw shuriken, freaking shuriken at you!In the lot you tested your mettle, doing more physical training than you've ever done in life, only to find that you had the company of a hidden observer that turned out to be a girl with completely white eyes like that bastard, Neji Hyuuga.After an awkward little scene, that ended up with her passing out, you sat by her until you declared to the world that you'd be stronger than god or death, or anyone. Shortly after, she came to and ran off, leaving you with questions.Returning home, you find a package at your doorstep from one Might Guy, and don his splendid graduation present.You are Naruto Uzumaki and this is your story.
Ids tiem
In your tiny apartment of one room with a condensed bath and toilet, not even a stove, but a hotplate to heat up food and a small fridge fit for only one person and the rations that they give you every week as an orphaned child and ninja trainee- only recently genin.You're fall back into bed, laying your head on your pillow, still dressed the green uniform that might guy gifted to you as you look at your metal protector, staring at it for some time. Yeah, this means that you're a genin. Your first step beyond the academy. You've resolved to become strong and even just being a hokage isn't good enough. You need to become stronger than that. It's gonna be hard but... That's the point isn't it?Someday you'll be so strong that will be able to bully you anymore. Then you'll be able to punch them in their sorry mugs when they try and dare them to do something about it.That thought makes you smile, taking a look at your skinned knuckles. It still hurts. It still feels good.Your core and arms are still worn out from your excessive workout from this afternoon as you stretch out across your bed, night falls upon the village. As you watch the shadows from the village darting across the rooftops you figure that this can't be just some kind of drill, this is something else.It's suspicious, but you aren't quite sure if you want to get involved.>[] Go out and check it out. There's obviously something interesting going on.>[] No, forget it. Just go to bed, it's none of your business.>[] (Other)

>>31463686>[] Go out and check it out. There's obviously something interesting going on.OOC thing, but we should completely ignore ninjutsu except for counters. Taijutsu/Genjutsu Naruto with special emphases on tactics and strategy

>[] Go out and check it out. There's obviously something interesting going on
Aright, I'ma say this, and I want you guys to know this.Going out tonight could end up very beneficial to you if you play it right, or it could get you in a load of trouble.It is the last chance to get shadow clones too. It could be VERY beneficial.
Alright I actually managed to catch this one!>>31463686>[] Go out and check it out. There's obviously something interesting going on.
>>31463686>>[] No, forget it. Just go to bed, it's none of your business.NOPE

>>31463804>My one for the night cause, what the shit Darnule?!What?>>31463783I love you too. And I'm sorry.
>>31463869So no, we don't want to.Because we're a shit genin who is hated.So we can't do anything and they'll blame it on us.
>>31463686>[] Go out and check it out. There's obviously something interesting going on.we've got to start proving to the village that we aren't a fuckup. In order to do that, we need to be helpful
>>31463686>[] Go out and check it out. There's obviously something interesting going on.
>>31463869Fuck it, I love risky choicesRevoting>go the fuck outside
>>31463869I want it man. I want it bad. I had no idea regular Shadow Clones were illegal.I mean, shit, I thought the mass version was the only one that was.Voted for heading out.
>>31463686>[x] Go out and check it out. There's obviously something interesting going on.
>>31463836Why? That shits useful.We're gonna do everything we can to become stronger, we aren't going to limit ourself to a particular thing. we;re going to diversify and become a master at everything.
>>31463912Just like that one Kagewhoever it was. I forget.But he had lots of jutsu.
>all these people forgetting how shit we are and not knowing that death is the most likely outcome barring QM interventionC'mon guys LOSER ninja quest, remember?
>>31463686>[] Go out and check it out. There's obviously something interesting going on.Well, hopefully it doesn't kill us.
>>31463686>>31463869>[] Go out and check it out. There's obviously something interesting going on.We might never get the ridiculous number of clones the connon Naruto gets. But even just one or two at at a time could be very useful.
>>31463939loser is a state of mind anon
>>31463686>>[x] Go out and check it out. There's obviously something interesting going on.
>>31463686[x]Go and check it out. There's obviously something interesting going on.
>>31463939well then we best die well, huh?
>>31463939My bet is we can pin all of it on Konohamaru, or even better, Mizuki.We might be well disliked by children, but we're still miles better then a traitor.
>>31463686 >[x] Go out and check it out. There's obviously something interesting going on.
>>31463686>[] Go out and check it out. There's obviously something interesting going on.MUH SHADOWS
>>31463966Unless it come down to our word vs his.Which it probably will.
>>31463946We're so shit tier that we have to meta-game that clone ability, we remember everything they do so OP.
>>31463981I dunno, if Konohamaru IS a part of this mess, and he realizes he's been tricked, then his word is WAY more then that faggot's.Honestly though I am curious if Mizuki is still as shit tier as he was in the show. I mean-beaten by a sexy jutsu-comon man.
>>31463909"Forbidden" Jutsus aren't really illegal you know. Everyone knows them/uses them. It's only "Forbidden" because of the damage it can cause to the user which makes it a last resort.In Kage Bunshin no jutsu's case it's not widely known because of the huge chakra cost. Each clone divides up your chakra "equally" or however that works.And the wiki says that chakra is returned when they're dispelled with the major drain being the act of using it and then bearing the mental exhaustion and possible pain of the bunshin's existence.If used to good effect it can be a valuable asset.
>>31463991Shouldn't that have been something Naruto figured out though? you know, getting massively increased pain tolerance and combat experience every time he used the jutsu? Even someone with protagonist-level density should have noticed
>>31464015>sexySorry, Shadow Clone of a shit kid genin.Actually Shadow Clones would RAPE for someone like Guy or Lee. They don't use chakra much, so imagine if they could make TWO Lees, or TWO Guys?Shit would be great.
Aright, counting.
>>31464038None of his clones really lasted any significant amount of time right? He just tossed em around like nothing, so all he's really getting from them is a different angle of the fight/however they die. Motherfucker was pretty dense.
>>31464031Oh, I see. Well good then. I guess it makes sense that we wouldn't be able to learn it until we're higher tier officially then (I imagine only very responsible ninja' are allowed to learn those forbidden jutsu, if any?)Anyway, it's still a good technique, and having it early would be very nice. Assuming we can even perform it without killing ourselves. Simply knowing the handsigns would be nice.unless you offer us something better, somehow, Professor.
>>31463966Mizuki?Hey wait isn't that the giant furry tiger fag guy?
>>31464083Whut?I meant the white haired traitor ninja guy who was a huge douche to us.If I got his name wrong, my bad.
>>31464083>>31464107you're both right.Filler stuff happens later
>>31464107in one of the filler arcs of the anime I think he turned into a furryOne of many reasons I didn't really watch the anime
>>31464083He was only a tiger in that one filler episode.
>>31464131....W...Nevermind. God damn I really don't want to know.
>>31464083Oh jesus christ I had completely forgotten about that crap, why'd you do this to me anon?

>>31464197>not doing a numberedwould have turned out the same but that is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to many votes
>>31464218hahaha yeah pretty much.
>>31464218At least we all know, both sides samefagged horribly.
>>31464218Yeah, lotta samefagging. But there were about as many votes in one minute for going out as there were total votes against it, so it still would have won
we kept telling ourselves it would be alright>its okay, he'll stop being a fuck up eventually. its still good its still good.>its okay, Sakura's character will grow and develop. its still good its still good.>its okay, the focus will shift away from Sasuke eventually, its still good its still good.>its okay, the filler can't last forever.its still good its still good.but it only got worse
>>31464218We're all faggots here, anon.We're all faggots here.
>>31464309Shippuden was pretty alright... But for some reason the battles were far less memorable.The only one that stood out was the one with B.est Jinchuriki.
>>31464346>Shippuden was>wasI emphasize WAS.
>>31464346Gaara?
>>31464346>>31464374Gaara was best in the origionalBee was best in shippuden
>>31464370Nice save. I was a fan up to the Pain Saga ending. Then the powers and setting got pretty damn stupid really.
>>31464309>BETRAY CORE MESSAGE! FUCK HARD WORK! BE THE MESSIAH>MORE HOMOSEXUAL UNDERTONES!>FUCK DEVELOPING SECONDARY CHARACTERS!>UCHIHAS EVERYWHERE>SASUKE MAXIMUM EDGE POWER HOUR: FEATURING HIS INFERIOR FRIENDSand that is why hate is the natural response. when something you liked disappointed you completely >>31464346so glad B didn't die and outsmarted saucegay.
>>31464407Pain saga was great if only for Hinata.rest is shit, cept maybe Bees awesomeness
>>31464374Gaara was always awesome, wasn't he?I-I'm not wrong in liking his fights the best am I?
>>31464442Gaara Vs Lee was best fight of the entire anime.
>>31463779IF we get to pick (which we probably shouldn't, it'll just cause a shitstorm) I'd go with either Kiba or Shino. Keep that team kinda intact. Only downside is the other one'll wind up stuck with Sakura and Sauceguy
>>31464428>Fuck hard workThat was the thing that always made me the saddest.I mean, I think Naruto had some pretty great hard work moments. But...I mean, he could've kept his weird super powers, if they were handled better then "And now he's Goku"
>>31464428>not liking homosexual undertonesDo you even Jojo?
>>31464404>Bee was best in shippuden>Bees awesomenessHell yeah.I swear. I flipped my shit when I sw his crazy seven sword style and prosolo sasuke's entire team and nearly kill him like three times.>>31464469Teams always have a kunoichi.
>>31464464>the two most badass characters ever go full deathmatchyeah kinda was.I wanna see more of Lee though
>>31464346>But for some reason the battles were far less memorable.>The only one that stood out was the one with B.est Jinchuriki.YOU TAKE THAT BACK, YOU MAKE YOUR WHORE MOUTH EAT THOSE WORDS.EVERY SINGLEAKATSUKIBATTLEWAS A PURE WORK OF GENIUS.I can only imagine how stupid you'd have to be to not notice the subtitles of the fight when your trying to predict their moves. But if you sit back and watch the pretty colors like a couch potato then you probably wouldnt notice.ITS SUPER FLAT!
>>31464407on the one hand, Pain saga had Hinata being shown as being a badass. On the other, it was clearly directed by the creater of Looney Toons
>>31464487Too bad we haven't gotten to see more of his piercing jutsu or whatever it was he did with the pencil against sharkbro, that shit had serious potential.
>>31464521>piercing jutsuTHat's the primary property of lightning chakra.Wind is slicing.Lightning piercingEarth CrushingFire BurningWater... Uhhh... Water.
>>31464501All the of the Akatsuki we awesome cept maybe puppet dude.
>>31464487>Teams always have a kunoichi>Implying ours isn't going to be Hinata come on Dranule, we know you'd only put us with best Naruto waifu
>>31464544Sasori was the worst fight. Though it did have Sakura be sort of awesome for once in the entire series.
>>31464540>Water... Uhhh... Water.LubricatingWater+Lightning chakra affinity pls
>>31464540freezing i thinkas much as i'd love to sperg out with you, get back to writing.
>>31464540force/pressure.that's what I think it should be
>>31464540>WaterWashing, obviously.But yeah, elements have their purpose.Also stop replying and post ya punk. I want to learn a new jutsu this thread.
>>31464540Water like flows and engulfs and is all... watery.
>>31464557only cause she wasn't controlling her own body.I was so dissapointed that Naruto didn't go full fourtails on the old sand bitch when they were over her body though. Was hoping for some Righteous Fury.
>>31464540>Water... Uhhh... Water.>Dranule's face when
>>31464549Nah we're still getting stuck with Sakura and Sasuke.And we're gonna make the best out of it.Maybe we can turn Sakura into Maka, which is still kind of an improvement.
If you're going to be greater than a god, what do you have to be scared of anyway? Besides, you're an official ninja now! You get off of your bed, forgoing your jacket as you head outside into the night air. The green suit's warm enough without your signature orange in any case.Locking your door, you crouch down, thankful that it's just your arms and abs that are feeling the burn. If you got to squats you'd be out for it.Leaping to the rooftops, and jumping a few over you see senior ninja leaping from building to building, seeming to be on the search for something. Huh. Well that's weird. Could the village be under attack? You get prickles in the back of your neck and quickly hide behind a chimney as one passes overhead.What the heck is going on?You see them all heading for the Hokage's office after some watching and tailing. Maybe you can find out what's going on if you get closer?>[] Go and ask them what's going on.>[] Tail them discreetly.>[] Join the search in your own way.(Wander around...)>[] (Other)>Jutsu available>[]Bunshin No Jutsu(Clone)>[]Henge No Jutsu(Transformation)
>>31464549I will literally kill Kiba if we have to to have Hinata on our team.
>>31464608Eh, if it's just senior ninjas then we might as well just wander around some.
>>31464608>>[] Go and ask them what's going on.so we don't get blamed
>>31464608>>[] Go and ask them what's going on.
>>31464608>Tail them discreetlyShould be enough.
>>31464608>[] Go and ask them what's going on.worst case scenario we get told it's classified and they know we're a concerned (if underqualified) potential helper instead of a conspiratorbest case, we get a lead
>>31464608>[x] Tail them discreetly.they wouldn't tell you anways
>>31464616yeah, Kiba's kinda bland. Us, Shino, and Hinata would be a pretty awesome combo, especially if we manage to keep Kakashi
>>31464608>>[] Go and ask them what's going on.>all these niggas wanna tail Jonin>as a geninyall fucking crazy
>>31464608You should really start including the character sheet in the op.
>>31464692Hey man, shut up. Akamaru was a cool dog.
>>31464692That would actually be an awesome combo.Kakashi fits Shino much more than Asuma (as cool as he is)Kakashi is also H2H enough for sparring with Hinata like crazy, plus he has the chakra control to teach her. Then there's us, but yeah.
>>31464608>>[X] Tail them discreetly.
>>31464727Dranule already said they were going to, ya doof. >>31463826
>>31464608>[] Go and ask them what's going on.There is no bloody way we could actually tail them.
>>31464730Akamaru bro-tier Kiba a shit
>>31464608Tail them discreetly.Only problem I see with this is OH YEAH, we're a shit tier Genin, and they're probably chuunin or Jonin.
>>31464608>[] Go and ask them what's going on.We aren't dumb
>>31464692That'd be pretty fucking awesome, actuallyWe'd get all the ninjas who actually act like fucking ninjas on one team (plus Naruto, but we shall make a ninja of him yet)We shall be Team Pragmatism
>>31464608>Go and ask them what's going on.
>>31464748Question: Did the village know Kakashi had a Sharingan implant? And if so why didn't they do something about it?I also suspect that's the reason why they let him be Sasuke's sensai
>>31464608>[] Go and ask them what's going on.
>>31464608>Go and ask them what's going on.We can't tail them without them getting suspicious.We can just say we finally graduated and we wanted to get started immediately.
>>31464786Why would they do something about it? The owner gave it to him as a gift and it's not like having a sharingan at all was illegal.
>>31464748and he'd teach her Taijutsu techniques that aren't reliant on the Byakugan, so she wouldn't be stuck using the same moves as Neji during her fight with him
>>31464786He just explained it to them and they were like "cool, have fun, don't go crazy"and yeah that is why
>>31464816Well she probably doesn't have the strength to deal serious physical damage but just learning shit from someone who isn't a Byakugan clan member will change her style a good deal.
Anybody else think that the best filler of Naruto was the Beetle arc with Hinata, Naruto, and Shino.If only for the skinny dipping.
>>31464748FUCK, meant shikamaru here.But breaking their team up would be bad, so shino would actually be a great match.
>>31464780If you wanted actual ninja, that would be like... Shino, Ino, Shikamaru.Assuming Ino was ever actually good at what she was supposed to do.
>>31464544>cept maybe puppet dude.Are you kidding? He was so good he has a special place in my heart. He was the first time when they really showed some master level abilities. I said to myself; here is a guy who no longer trans for survival, but does it for pure academic challenge. He was so much better than he had any rights to be in a simple shinobi battle. The characters just continued to get better. At first i thought Deidara was just like other filler characters, but i was glad when they postponed the final battle with him. Although i was genuinely shocked when he dropped the bomb on the hidden sand village. (Also, how good was that bit just before the intro where hes thrown forward and the sand opens up like a maw of claws. Genially made my hair stand on end and then, bam, cut into the intro. Brilliant)Hidan and Kakazu are brilliant. Kakazu has some of the best lines ive ever heard. Like, "Dont you can go to hell for that? Nonbeliever?" "Well afterall, they say monies useful, where-ever, you go." And Hidan is great for seeming like a normal guy and then going full berzerker with his warcry. It really encapsulates just how dangerous an enemy that disregards their own safety is. Berzerkers were used like this in ancient battles.I found itachis fight boring, but his side story actually interesting.Tobi was ofcource the twist of the century. Who would ever have thought the leader would lower himself to act like that. Also this: (bad music inbound)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMQYABsvJnghttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEAysdnvW-0#t=1m01s
>>31464816It might not help, since she's physically kinda weak and has to rely on the chakra point shit from all the 8 trigrams techniques, but he could teach her how to improvise some new techniques based on other Taijutsu schools. Which would be awesome.
>>31464876>Inomy fucking sidesshe was worse than sakura
>>31464905Yeah, I know, big assumption, but mind control and mind reading are actual skills you would want on a clandestine operative.
Am I the only one who's fine with sticking with Sasuke and Sakura?It's technically possible to become a good team, and we can get Sasuke's eyes if he dies.
>>31464882Itachi is best character.If only because i'm a sucker for self sacrifice.
>>31464916To bad she abandoned her fucking clan jutsu for healing.Her dad was awesome
>>31464921yes you arewe can get Sasuke's eyes if he dies anyway, since they sent all the Junior nin after himAnd they're both horrid characters, probably the worst two in the series
>>31464921No, for some reason I want to stick to the canon team even though I hate them more than just about any of the other options... I'm not sure why.
So amidst the votes I saw that no one thought about using a jutsu.It's kind of recommended.
>>31464921>If sasuke diesYou mean when we kill him right?Cuz he's probably gonna go through the whole evil bullshit again, but since we're in control, gets zero sympathy, and gets glassed.But anyway, for your original point: No, I don't mind them as team mates. But they need to stop their stupid immature bullshit.
>>31464921I'm okay with it. But i see less reason for it because we're not junjuriki anymore.and the team is just dumb as hell anyway
>>31464951How would clones help us remain stealthy?Or transformation make stealth easier?Unless like, we can change to someone who's black as night to blend in better. I am okay with that.
>>31464951No. You only use transform after you've done something wrong.
>>31464951Disguise ourselves as generic ninja #304, not some traitor's son?
>>31464921I personally don't have a single care about getting Sasuke's eyes. I think it be better to go without them
>>31464951>hengesome inconspicuous looking chunin
>>31464951Fine, let's transform into a generic senior ninja.
>>31464951We're just asking a question.If we're shot down THEN we come back transformed as some senior ninja and ask questions.
>>31464982Well yeah, we can do that too. OHLet's change to that asshole bully guy that we punched. Maybe that's a good disguise?
>>31464951Well, regular bunshin don't report sensory information right? So no scouting with them. Guess we could henge to get a non-stigmatized face to talk to some dudes, but if anyone sees through it, it'd get awkward.
>>31464951There's no IC reason for using a jutsu. We're walking up to people investigating in our neighborhood and seeing what's going on. It's like a rookie cop walking up to an FBI controlled crime scene. They might not get any info beyond 'its over your paygrade' but there's nothing really wrong with it. Plus, they're a hell of a lot better at being ninja than us, they should be able to spot a transformation jutsu pretty easily
>>31464994>>31464982>>31464951Let's only transform if they turn us away.Supposedly the adults don't hate us much.
>>31464951Oh, didn't think of it.>Change into random Junin ninjaThat's the type of ninja we're following, right?
>>31464921They're my two least favorite characters. And we shouldn't get put with Sasuke anyway, because we aren't a special snowflake this time around
>>31465045Eh, the grade thing still applies.
>>31464951depends on what winsif asking what's up wins, using jutsu is a pants on head retarded move that will get us jailed or stabbed. If tailing wins, we should turn into a nondescript Jonin with black hair and brown eyes so we look like part of the pack
>>31465031This will turn out horribly when they ask us a question, or the nin we're supposed to be is known and talked to, or they require a password, or use terms we don't know, or notice that we don;t have the skillsOr really anything at allThis sort of thing never works
>>31464921I wouldn't get mad over it, but I'd rather go with someone else.Though I wonder what kind of explanation Dran will spin for not getting Sasuke since the pair was the result of him getting best scores and nurutu getting the worst. And I don't think we broke out of the bottom of the barrel.
>>31465053that was an excuse
>>31465053it was a cover so that they could put the two 'special case' genin under Kakashi. With there being only one, maybe he'll get counseling or some shit
>>31465075we're probably not last this time either.HinataHinataHinataHinataHinataHinataHinataHinataHinataHinataHinataHinataAnd not the bully please
>>31465106maybe therapy?Why didn't he get that in the first place?He saw his brother butcher his clan in front of his face, how did they not see all of this coming?
>>31464951This is bait.
>>31464951Yeah no
Turn into Iruka-sensei. Obvious choice.
>>31465075Change the criteria for how teams are formed? Anything else would be smarter than just pairing up people by their scores.Although I think we're a batch behind the manga's main cast since Team Guy has already been formed.
>>31464632>>31464644>>31464666>>31464673>>31464712>>31464760>>31464779>>31464784>>31464795>>31464796>>31464802>>31464809>>31464776>>31464753>>31464669>>31464676Asking directly wins... No jutsu.
>>31465075We might have, actually. We managed to pass the written and the practical. I'm sure a couple of no-names just barely sraped by with decent enough test scores to overlook a bad clone or something
Anyone else find it bullshit how they organized squads into specializations?Like observation/tracking with hinata, kiba, shino?Kinda stupid because that stunts other squads in that area and over bears one team in something they don't need.I really hope Dran doesn't do this.
>>31465154Here's hoping they're not actually a bunch of criminals.
>>31465153Team gai was formed the previous year in canon. That's why he's already got his full team. Neji mentioned that his team was held back from the chuunin exams because of Lee joining which implies that gai pulled some strings.
>>31465154eh, using jutsu would have made it worse for us. >Transform into jonin>get asked password (because military force on top secret mission>Don't know it>Quest Over
>>31465153Team Guy was a year ahead in the Anime.Guy held them back to train
>>31465171Yeah seriously.A high alert mission is the worst time to try to trick paranoid ninja who don't like you in the first place.
>>31465158>how they organized squads into specializations?That was done because genin are still technically training. so in that case it's about taking on missions involved in tracking and seeing how your tracking peers do their job.Learn and compare.
>>31465106Depending on what exactly Minato did or didn't do, we might still be special case.
>>31465171Clone jutsu is as effective for deception as how well you know the person you're transforming into or how well you can get lost in a crowd.
>>31465214*Transformation.Bleck. i'm writin.
...Actually, if we successfully transform, is there some sixth sense that lets people see through it? Besides voice, and person's knowledge, that is?I mean, if they just have to look really hard at our face, I can see why people are paranoid. But otherwise, I dunno.
>>31465158It might be helpful if they were put under a veteran in that specialty to hone it. There's probably missions suited to single specialties that could be given to them.
>>31465194But that wasn't how missions were assigned at allmight have worked it they followed their criteria.Plus forming squads on that principle decreases teamwork in that you don;t have to rely on your teammates like you normally would for top notch info gathering.
>>31465236But they don't.Kurinai is genjutsu with a sensory squad.It bothers me when Anime makes poor (or illogical AND without senseable reason) military decisions.
>>31465214>>31465227but that means it would be completely useless here, since the only person we 'know' who would be useful is Iruka, and at this point Naruto doesn't know shit about him beyond whatever mannerisms he has while teaching. Which would be completely different than his on alert mannerisms.
>>31465304We know Gai and Mizuki.Though I'm not sure if impersonating either of them is a good move.
>>31465349Impersonating guy is dumb and everyone should know that.Mizuki is on this mission so that's a no.
>>31465349MIzuki maybe, but I don't think we'd be able to fool anybody whose fought beside himand we shouldn't disrespect Gai-sensei by hiding behind his image
Leaping across the rooftops under the moonlit sky, you approach the Kage's house in time to see all of the senior ninja gather upon the veranda, some standing atop the railing to be debriefed.As you approach in the most obvious fashion, you see a few of them look at you, instantly readying their kunai until you hold your hands up, landing haphazardly between them as they back off.“Naruto?” You hear a familiar voice say. Looking up, you see Iruka Sensei looking down at you,”What are you doing here? You should go home, now's not a good time for you to be running around.”“Iruka, you know this prat?” Another of the chunin grumps at your presence, you can feel some condescending eyes from around you. “It's you- the dead-beat's son.”You get up, frowning,”Yeah, I know the whole shtick by now... I just wanted to know what was going on, I saw you guys jumping all over the place.”“It's not for you to know Naruto,” Iruka grabs you by the back of your suit and picks you up with the whole thing stretching a little,”And what the hell are you wearing?”“It's not for you to know Iruka-Sensei.” You stare back at him as he grinds his teeth at your behavior.“You got him Iruka? We're going to keep looking.” Mizuki pats his associate on the soldier, a strange glint in his eyes. “Since Konohomaru took the scroll of sealing, we need to recover it before the forbidden techniques within fall into the wrong hands.”“Mizuki!” Another nin yells,”You shouldn't say that in front of a student!”“A genin as of tomorrow actually,” Izuka corrects, “But he's going home anyway.”
You furrow your brow at the man. Scroll of sealing? Forbidden techniques? What makes a technique forbidden? Are they powerful? Could they make you strong? You think hard about it for a moment... What if it fell into the “right” hands?>[] Tell Izuka-Sensei that you'll help look for Konohomaru.>[] “I'll go home myself. No worries, just put me down.”>[] Obediently go home with Iruka. Nah, better not risk it.>[] (Other)
>>31465428>>[] Obediently go home with Iruka. Nah, better not risk it.
>>31465428>[] “I'll go home myself. No worries, just put me down.”Oh we are soooo searching for that scroll.
>>31465415>>[x] Tell Izuka-Sensei that you'll help look for Konohomaru.Mention we met him earlier today and know what he looks like. Besides, having more feet on the ground looking for it can't hurt, can it?
>>31465428>“I'll go home myself. No worries, just put me down.”
>>31465428>[] (Other)"Konohama-who?">[] “I'll go home myself. No worries, just put me down.”
>>31465428"Iruka, Konohomaru's going to be watching for high-level ninjas trying to find him. He isn't going to be watching for the son of a deadbeat traitor. I've got a better chance of finding him. Tail me, I think I know where he'd go"if Iruka trusts us, head back to that same area where he was pretending to be a fence
>>31465428"You're looking for Konohomaru? He's not that hard to find, maybe you just need a kid's perspective?"hint hint nudge nudge
Here's the real question...Do you want to be helpful,Or do you want the scroll?
>>31465455>>31465456You Cheeky little fuckers
>>31465470I want the bloody scroll
>>31465470>Or do you want the scroll?I vote this one, cuz you know, better to be powerful then handy.
>>31465470>Implying we can't do bothAt this point Naruto probs just want to help he barely has a vague understanding of what's inside
>>31465455>>31465456these sound goodand I like keeping Naruto's team player attitude from canon. >>31465470both, if possible, but helpful only if Iruka disapproves and the scroll if he doesn't and we have to pick one or the other
>>31465470Both.Iruka-sensei has always been nice to us but we have our goal and knowing a forbidden technique would bring us a step closer.
>>31465470I want to not dieBu the scroll would be nice
>>31465455>>31465456either/both>>31465470we want to help Iruka, but getting a peek at that scroll would be nice if it doesn't jeopardize his well-being
>>31465470both
>>31465505How are you going to take the scroll if you help Iruka retrieve it?
>>31465547he's rightstop liking the feeling of that fence up your asses and pick a side guysLet's get that fucking scroll
>>31465470I want dat scrollFor a lil bit.Then we give it back.
>>31465470The scroll if we can get away with it.
>>31465547We want it for ourself primarily.But only if we can not get caught.Helping them catch Konohamaru and blaming it on him it completely fine. But better to blame it on Mizuki.
>>31465547finei want the fucking scroll. we'll give it back when we're done anyway
>>31465570Yeahno.No.No.that'll get us killed>>31465547for us, but we don;t wanna die
>>31465470He's a consolation prize. If we can't get both it's better to have him tell his dad about how brave Naruto rescued him and didn't even look at the scroll twice.
>>31465547I think what they want is to basically take a look at the scroll and memorize a technique or two before handing it back to Iruka. or jot shit down. It'll only be possible if we've got a bit of time alone with the scroll. But if we do, we can easily just take notes and return the actual scroll
>>31465626Agreed. We copy the hand signs down, and shit. No time to train with it.
>>31465583Why in the world would we do that?You do know that they will then blame the whole thing on us, then execute us and be done with it right?They'll ask why we intentionally kept (stole) a scroll that we knew was forbidden. and we won;t have a reason.It's all or nothing. and it ain;t like they would lose the jutsus.
>>31465582>>31465626seconding either of these
>>31465638>>31465626You do know it took Naruto like 6+ hours for the Mass Shadow clone right?And ti won;t be just the handsigns, it'll be paragraphs of info and explanations to go with them.
>>31465663In that case, let's just be helpful since we can't get away with stealing the scroll.
>>31465626thisdon't be a fuckhead and train with the scroll, just copy the hand signs for each technique. And there's only what, 12 different seals? each sequence should take like 30 seconds to copy down, if we're really pressed for time we could do it on the way back to the library
>>31465663>And ti won;t be just the handsigns, it'll be paragraphs of info and explanations to go with them.Pretty much.You either take the scroll for yourself(And you're going to need subversion if you don't want to be suspect)Or you be helpful and get some brownie points. And some of that Father's Shadow removed.
>>31465646We can't keep it, they'd find out we have it and really WOULD kill us dude.At least if we just take one, we can pass it off as us taking a bit of extra time finding it.
>>31465690We would take it but that fucking risk is waaaay to high.Can we just go home?
>>31465663it took him 6+ hours to get it down, yes. But writing down "make clone seal, funnel chakra like so" is quick and we can practice in our house until we've got it right
>>31465690Fine, fuck it, Mizuki was an ass, and we aren't taking shortcuts.changing >>31465647 to just helping.
>>31465690Aw shit.Well, fine, I say we be helpful. If we get caught, the shadow will double, or worse, we'll get executed.
>>31465690Let's just get the fuck outta here then
Man, lot of cowardice all of a sudden.Nothing ventured, nothing gained. This village is full of helpful people and none of them are as powerful as we aim to be. I'm still for taking the scroll for our benefit.
>>31465690Aw god damn it, are you serious?Well now we won't get Shadow clones for fucking ever now, because no one anyone is gonna have the stones to try and hide it from a shit ton of chunin for days (considering it'll take us way more time to do one Shadow Clone)
>>31465690I was under the impression that Shadow Clone was actually really simple, just risky because it caused you to split up your chakra. And it only took Naruto so long because he had no chakra control due to Kyuubi. If you're forcing us to pick one, let's be helpful. But there's no real reason for us to have to choose beyond choice's sake
Eh, we'll deal with what you guys are doing after the next post.This doesn't sound like "BE GREATER THAN GOD."
>>31465759>>31465415The risk is so high...But I'd say >[] Obediently go home with Iruka.Let him see us go inside and feel secure in the knowledge we are safe, immediately henge into our bully and book it to look for the scroll. Taking it from Konohomaru shouldn't be hard, study it, leave it to be found.
>>31465725>aim to bebut are not currently>>31465759There's a difference between having ambition and being a fucking retard.We're treating this like the real world, not some stupid shounen.
>>31465759we will be greater than god without throwing aside those close to us. Why would we betray Iruka? Voting with the taking notes crowd if possible though. Since I can take a page of (extremely messy) notes in a minute or so, and I'm a fairly average writer, I'd imagine we could copy at least one technique
>>31465759Toldja that aspiration was retarded yo
Rolled 12>>31465690Are there any other techniques in the scroll that we could learn? Naruto only went with shadow clone because he needed a clone to become a ninja.I'm all for taking the scroll. Last thread we were all "become stronger than god" And now we're like we're backing out.
>>31465770sounds like fucking faggot loser talk this isn't the real world and it's at least a decent chunk of shounen
>>31465759You really need to stop mocking the choice whether or not it was the smart one, Prof.
>>31465759There's a difference between stupidity and ambition Dran.You're watching to much anime.
>>31465759Eh, fine let's aim to steal the scroll.
>>31465786I am still all aboard the 'taking notes' train. It feels stupid we can't take anything useful from them. I mean, if we have the handsigns, and a note about 'how 2 chakraaww' we should be able to get it, albeit with a penalty to learning. Just would take time.
>>31465790"Become stronger than god" was a stupid aspiration spoken by a bullied child with nothing. If we keep it, it'll boil down to us wanting friends. Actually, why don't we do that? fuck the giant goals that sound idiotic. We want to become strong enough to retire happily with a wife and kids. Which, in Naruto world, is pretty fucking powerful
>>31465802although to be fair, Black Star would most certainly choose to steal the scroll.
This will be pretty hopeless if we can't use ninja basics to our advantage.Look for the scroll, prop it up against a tree and incorporate it as a root. Hope nobody finds it until Komohamaru is safe. Once the heat dies down we can learn.everything.
>>31465799We don't have plot armor.Shounen protags die like flies without plot armor.Right now we'er complete and utter shit at everything. Even our rep is in the negatives.Let's focus on not becoming shit before potentially pissing off Jonin, or even decent Genin.
>>31465786Aren't all clone techniques the same symbol, too? we literally need to write down the blurb of how the chakra's manipulated (we can probably bullet point that shit) and practice til we drop
>>31465805I'd still rather not go home though.Might as well try and find Konohamaru and build up a better rep.
>>31465790Yes.And it's a scroll of sealing, so you'd also be able to learn some sealing techniques which were barely ever covered.
>>31465802Agreed>>31465832We aren't black star nor do we want to be.We seek power, but we're not going to be stupid about it.
>>31465845This is very important Dran.How quick can Naruto write, and does he know shorthand?
>>31465764>>31465770>>31465802>>31465805Do you think we're going to be publicly executed or something? If we find the scroll first. We take it home a read from it. Then we give it back. If they ask why we turned it in the next day just say we didn't find it until the next day.Trying to get the scroll has very high rewards and almost no risk.
>>31465842If you're going to metagame like that, why not metagame like this: Dranule isn't looking to end the quest so fast, since this is the thing he seems to want to do for a while.He's not trying to bait us so he can write out our torture and execution.
>>31465841That's actually... Really smart.
>>31465845Why would we want that?
>>31465856look man the choice is to steal the scroll and not.
>>31465841Also supporting this
we're going to hit bump limit before we even see the fucking scroll aren't we?
>>31465866I'm fine with dualistic choices, when they make sense. There's a lot more options here. One is take notes and study a couple techniques, at the cost of not having the scroll on hand. Another is leave and no bonus. Or we fail and game over. Shit like this should not just be yes/no
>>31465857You think they'll believe us?If we find it we turn it in immediatly because they now know that we know it is top secret shit.And they'll mind plumb us, just in case
>>31465857I'm >>31465764 and I didn't put >othercause I'm retarded.>Other, obediently go home with Iruka, let him feel secure in the knowledge that we are safe, immediately henge into our bully and book it to search.
>>31465865Spamming explosives at people?Literally punching people with lightning?Banishing demons, sealing enemy chakra, stealing fired shots to use again later, magic tattoos, a large room sealed into a small box we can use as a sex dungeon for prisoners of war
>>31465845I'm really all for stealing it. You should probably call for a quote only vote since this is rather important.>>31465841I really like that idea.
>>31465887Most of that doesn't fall under sealing.
>>31465857Seriously. Naruto stole the scroll in the original series and didn't get punished. In this version we wouldn't even be stealing it we would be finding it an forgetting to return it.>>31465845Would be cool if we learned something that wasn't in the original series.
>>31465857Or instead of returning it, we just stealthily leave it where it can be easily found?
>>31465887Sealing ninja get shit like the mummy things and the ink sealing or jar sealing.Probably some curse mark sealing too.
>>31465895... Fairly certain ninja sealing jutsu into paper is a thing.And I know I've seen Jiriya seal away an enemy attack.
>>31465898>learned something that wasn't in the original series.I've been brainstorming. And I've already said earlier that obtaining the thing will work to your advantage.I remember a guy last thread that said somerthing about Kakashi and his Jutsu scraps.>>31465904Yep.
>>31465898>finding it an forgetting to return it.so stealingalso we're not special kage son ninetail shit so they can kill us if they want (which they do already)Also if they did they would just turn us over to the mind guys and scrub our mind, or search it and see what happened and then execute us.
>>31465903Oh shit right! That free sage chakra bloodline bullshit was biological sealing!
>>31465883Did you even watch Naruto? His signiture move was from that scroll. See >>31465898
>>31465912Just asking.If we were to return the scroll, we could count on them giving us to Inos clan (the mind control guys) and checking our mind for secret info. Correct?
>>31465845>Sealing techniquesWhat...what exactly do those DO anyway? I mean yeah, seal, but seal what, and how useful is it?
The other ninja scatter to carry on with their mission, unwilling to waste any more time. Mizuki leaves last with a backwards glance to you and Iruka.“I'll just go home myself Iruka Sensei...” You scratch your head,”It's also good to know that I passed.”“Alright, I'll let you off this time.” Iruka glowers at you for a moment before lowering you to the ground. He seems to start saying something for a moment before deciding against it,”Go on and go then.”You nod and head to the railing, looking back at him for a moment before leaping away without another word.You still see Mizuki's white hair going a ways on the rooftops as you head to your house. Something about that look in his eye was strange. Something's telling you that if you follow him you'll get to the bottom of this whole thing.You slip around to a spot that's out of sight from Iruka as you see the last glimmer of Mizuki's white hair.It's now or never. If you follow him, you're going to be deadset on it. If he leads you to the scroll you'd get the Forbidden techniques, whatever else lies inside. Yes, it could all be yours. You'd be able to get stronger. You'd still train hard. Yeah, of course. But you'd have this too. You'd have this to train too.Or you could give it back to the people that shunned you... Heck, you might even get some respect from them. But then you wouldn't have the scroll.You bite your thumb. You've got to make a choice. This is it.>[] Pursue Mizuki, you're getting that scroll.>[] Pursue Mizuki, you'll get that scroll back for the village.>[] Screw it. Go home.
>>31465875Where did you get all these enjoyable Shizune pics? I need to know for... research... for my novels...Yeah, research for my best-selling romance novels.Man I still miss Jiraiya.
>>31465937>[] Pursue Mizuki, you're getting that scroll.
>>31465937>>[] Pursue Mizuki, you'll get that scroll back for the village.Respect is always useful when all these people know so many interesting jutsu and can probably teach them better than an old scroll written by smart people
>>31465937>Pursue Mizuki, you're getting that scroll.Should we henge into a classmate? 95% chance it doesn't do shit for us but it might...
>>31465924But we aren;t Naruto because we aren't the Kages son, we don;t have the Nine tails, The kage doesn't favor us, we don't have his infinite chakra reserves, and half of the Jonin don't have a soft spot for us.They will execute a normal Genin who intentionally steals top secret documents and techniques.
>>31465937>>[] Pursue Mizuki, you'll get that scroll back for the village.Its a scroll.But goodwill is a more important first step. And then we can get someone to teach us the skill.
>>31465937>[x] Pursue Mizuki, you're getting that scroll.

>>31465937>>[] Pursue Mizuki, you're getting that scroll.
>>31465931Not necessarily. You're also implying that you don't dead-drop.>>31465933Seal attacks, seal curse marks, counterseal, seal chakra, write seals that have things sealed away such as weapons, etc.The question though is: Why would a sealing technique be forbidden? And why would it be in the same scroll as Kage Bunshin with Kage Bunshin as the first technique?Speaking of:>Henge no jutsu(Transform)>[] Bunshin no Jutsu(Clone)Are also available.

>>31465980>Henge into a classmate, one that we know well but isn't the bully.Civilian catches a glimpse of us we're good, and if they find the person based on the glimpse they won't have any connection to us, we have to reason to incriminate someone we don't hate.

>>31466038>Pursuit for taking the scroll yourself.>Henge into bully classmate.Yep.
>>31466038I can feel this is going to end badly.But ok.
Gonna reason why I want to steal the scroll:Almost every other god damn ninja in this village has some bullshit bloodline powers. I figure, we need to have some sort of edge to keep up. If that means cheating to get a good jutsu? I say worth it.Sorry Iruka sensei. We still like you, and everything.
>>31466038>Turning into bullyPfff haha, man that guy is SO gonna come back as a villain at some point god damn.
>>31466050Well the important decision id over for tonight so i need sleep.Everyone, please operate operationally and go full Tacticool on this shit. We do not wanna get caught.Also don't be afraid to bug out.
>>31466052>bullshit bloodline powersOr secret clan-only jutsu.I was always peeved that Sakura's parents were never really a thing. I thought she might be redeemable if she were expanded upon and had some clan techniques.Nope. Random pink-hair bitch.Uh. Wait. Is she the only one with anime hair? Besides white-hairs.
>>31466015>but isn't the bullyScrew that. If we're implicating a class mate we want it to be a bully. Maybe we could turn into Neji
>>31466052But the chances of getting caught are extremely high. What with all the bullshit powers the higher ninjas have compared to a lowly just-turned-genin.They also have no respect for Naruto which means if they wanted to, they'll strip search naruto and raid his place without a second thought.We need to get in a position where suspecting Naruto is unthinkable. THEN we can start pulling off thefts like this.
>>31465980While I like the idea of learning some forbidden Jutsu, wouldn't using it in front of any of the senior ninjas get us into all kinds of trouble? Having a trump card sounds good for when shit goes south but if we use it and then face criminal charges... course sensei could be cool with it. Dunno.
>>31466079her dad too
>>31466089Do you have any idea how long that would take and this is going to be like the only chance to get that scroll.
>>31466079>Secret clan jutsuThat too.>Sakura needed to be expanded onShe needed a lot of things, man. Like getting over that stupid bad boy obsession (which she never did) and actually grow some god damn character (which she barely did at all)She didn't need clan jutsu. She needed to be relevant. and she wasn't, except maybe as a healbot.
>>31466080>>31465980>>31466015Oh god yes! Him and his filthy Branch Family blood have driven him to try and gain power to kill the honorable Hyuuga Clan Elders™Nah, he'd be too easily exonerated I imagine, they have some kind of compound right? Someone's seen him recently...
>>31466098>"I can only use this technique if my teamisn't around. Sorry for what might happen to you."Yeah, you'd have a bag of last-resorts.
>>31466098>Sensei could be coolDude, Kakashi is the definition of cool.
>>31466089We don't have to steal it.We just have to have a looksie.Now shut your god damn mouth we're gonna learn some hidden techniques.
>>31466104How much longer would it take to get up to this level if they catch us and go the son is worse then the father and strip us of our genin rank.We're stealing from the village. They can do that and throw us in jail. Working up from there is going to be a mountain.
>>31466111>she still wanted Sasuke>even after he tried to kill her
>>31466122>Bag of last resortsthat's hilarious. But uh. We might just need to reveal it, if our mission goes the same way of the Bridge Builder. Because without nine tails, ain't no beating Zabuza.& Haku.
>>31466129Well I'd rather take the chance.
>>31466129Nigger, we're gonna save this little kid who happens to be the son of the hokage, we're gonna get a fucking parade.
>>31466098"Forbidden" is a weird classification. Most of them don't actually have legal reprecussions for use, and half the ones that probably would will kill the user anyway.
>>31466131Which is fine by me. Let her lust after his emo dick all she wants. We're gonna have to break Naruto of his own natural like of her (assuming we haven't already turned Naruto away from the pink menace)
>>31466123Yeah I remember him being one of the coolest cats around but would he actively hide such a thing from his superiors and colleagues?
>>31466159>>31466098We could just tell them we were experimenting and came up with it on our own,
Rolled 13>>31466155There needs to be a fall guy and the scroll is still missing.If the white haired bastard is caught, where did it go to?Its too easy to get caught for this.
>>31466184If we use it to great effect? Saving our team possibly?Yeah. I could see him keeping it on the DL.
>>31466163Agreed. But should we start arguing about our waifu now or later?Cuz all I'm saying is NaruTen OTP

You make the seals for the Henge no Jutsu- Dog, Bear, Ram. Transform!You mold yourself into the shape of that kid you slugged before. After getting picked on for a year you know his mannerism well enough and his form all the more.You look at your adjusted skin and darker clothes, feeling pretty stealthy about this business.Leaping down, you double-back and circle before following after Mizuki. Yeah, this guy's moving with a purpose. You keep your distance and make sure to hide every time you get back within view of him. You learned -something- from all those years being bullied. Stealth is your best friend.He goes for the village gates, ascending the wall to the top and going on down afterwards.Outside the village? This is definitely suspicious.“You there!” A man in black comes up to you from the side, a man in black with round black sunglasses despite the fact that it's night. “You wouldn't happen to be a friend of Konohamaru, would you?” Her pushes up his glasses as he peers at you in your mutual midair.>How do you respond?>[] Uh, yeah. He told me to come and see what he found.>[] No, they're letting me help with the search.>[] I was just going back home, what's going on?>[] (Other)Damnit, this guy just had to come up on you out of nowhere. Who is this glasses-wearing freak anyway?
>>31466189It isn't even illegal to look at the scroll.Forbidden means, not for children or outsiders.And we're a fucking Genine, we don't count as a child anymore.
>>31466201locked in that is.
>>31466203>>[] I was just going back home, what's going on?>>31466211It means it is Chunin and Jonin only.
>>31466203>3Nice lie, I assume? We're near enough to houses I believe. Easier to believe, too.
>>31466203>[x] Uh, yeah. He told me to come and see what he found.fucking Kabuto
>>31466203>>[] I was just going back home, what's going on?
>>31466203>[] I was just going back home, what's going on?
>>31466203Maybe we should tell him we saw someone suspicious going for the woods? Then we can get credit for the tracking and catch, while keeping our rep clear?
I'm going to go with:>Be helpfulBut only if we threat the thing as a training exercice: >Somebody stoll something>Find where he is>Great occasion to train tracking, stealth and fighting skill if he resist.Plus, assuming the brat did learn something from the scroll, we could make him teach us in exchange for not beating him up.>>31465428>[] Tell Izuka-Sensei that you'll help look for Konohomaru
>>31466225No, it's Ebisu
>>31466221So we'll get a slap on the wrist.
Rolled 18>>31466211Looking at it isnt enough to learn the skill.We need to study it.

If there are none, we'll be the first person Iruka thinks of when this guy reports back, and that's bad for our dead drop prospects.>3 I doubt this guy will escort us back, and this reveals the least about us. >Voting 3
>>31466246Indeed.Aright guys.Remember that you're transformed right now.Even if the target escapes suspicion it means that you aren't the one that's being targeted unless you leave some other sign.You got some Grey fox shit going on.
>>31466266>muh sausageke
>>31466259>[] I was just going back home, what's going on?fuck this guy

>>31466274>>1>We don't know Konohamaru or where he's going, and if we did he'd want us to tell him. NopeYou're pursuing Mizuki.Lies are only lies when you need to answer for them.
>>31466277why did the author make that character look so creepy?
>>31466203>[] (Other)"Funny, Mizuki-sensei asked me the same question not a minute before. Is this guy in trouble or what?"
>>31466277I have not forgotten. Transformation gud jutsu.
>>31466298Nah can't do that. Iruka only spoke to Naruto and we'd get found out if Ebisu and Iruka speak to each other
>>31466298Ah, that sounds good.Makes Mizuki seems suspicious as well.If Ebisu catches Mizuki, that means that Mizuki won't pick up Konohamaru.And that means we get a clear shot at the scroll.
>>31466203>>[] I was just going back home, what's going on?If we say this then we can't follow Mizuki outside of the village. We'll lose track of him.>>>[] Uh, yeah. He told me to come and see what he found.Is the best because we can tell him that konohomaru's outside and have him deal with Mizuki whom is acting suspivious and that we want to beat the shit out of.
>>31466298This one seems interesting. Want to say this?
>>31466340Yes.>>31466326We spoke with Iruka, not Mizuki.
>>31466340sure
>>31466329I interpreted is 'I was heading home and noticed something was odd and decided to approach the nearest higher ranking ninja, Mizuki, to see what was up'>>31466298Changing to this.
>>31466340Seems legit enough. We can add it on the 'heading home' thing."Actually, Mizuki said something like that too me too. I was just on my way home...is that guy in trouble or what?"
>>31466340yes
>>31466340It'll make it possible for them to identify us later, making the disuise moot.
>>31466346Yeah my bad re read it and saw Iruka instead of Mizuki before.>>31466340Go for it
>>31466340...I want to.But wouldn't that get the guy we've transformed into into trouble?
>>31466384You mean the guy that's been bullying us for at least a couple years? Fuck himI just hope we don't become Edgemaster Sasuke in the process.
>>31466340Whoa. People liking my suggestions?I must be chilling in Hell
>>31466384I'm sorry, are we looking for Mizuki, or your testicles?
>>31466393We can always punch the overwhelming edge out of him.But at this point in time I'd say he's just appropriately fucked up for what happened to him. Shippuden can suck my balls though, as can the handwings. It's one thing to be traumatized by your brother due to some elaborate death by otouto plan but jfc he became such an edgelord. It's the main reason I dislike Itachi, seriously fuck him. What the actual fuck.
>>31466429
>>31466384And ?>>31466393No risk. An Egdemaster would actually commit crimes like burning an orphenage while wearing the guy's face.Hey, what about this: If Ebisu has troubles with Mizuki, we drop the disguise and rescue him (after we discretly followed him, of course)? That will improve our PR.
Rolled 20>>31466460Thing is do we drop the scroll retrieval objective or not?
>>31466431Yeah, Itachi fucked Sasuke up really bad. It is almost like horribly traumatizing a 6 year old and then forcing him to relive the trauma years later has serious consequences for his mental stability.But no, Itachi, I'm sure murdering everyone he ever loved and then spending several subjective days emotionally torturing your kid brother is the best way to save him.
>>31466482With a roll like that we fucking sure as hell HAVE to keep it.
Rolled 9>>31466492I was for dropping it, actually.
>>31466487Japanese emotions are non-standard.
>>31466497And I think the dice have shown you your opinion is wrong.
>>31466482I say we see if the brat actually learned something, and if he did we make him teach us.Give the scroll back with a smile, the information we need is in the kid's head.
Rolled 18>>31466504Nah, you're just interpreting the a dice type that isn't even used in this quest willy nilly as you wish.I'm in favour of dropping since if we drop the disguise, the scrutiny on us if the scroll continues to be lost is too high.
>>31466508>Kid learns forbidden techniqueLook, I know Naruto had the bullshit fox powers to learn his shadow clone, but K is WAY too young to do anything like Shadow Clones. If he does, he'll probably die.
>>31466508And if he doesn't want to tell us, we promise to teach him one of our super secret jutsu as well.Should be obvious what I'm thinking of.
>>31466497There's no real reason to not go get that scroll though. If we can successfully learn that shit they're not just going to execute us or lock us up. They'll be forced to acknowledge that we, a genin with a worthless drunk shitface of a father, had the potential to learn a forbidden technique on his first go. If we try to learn it and we fail, we die of chakra exhaustion because shadow clones are forbidden for a reason. You either get strong, or die young, because this world literally depends on child soldiers.
>>31466517Despite his attitude, he's still pretty talented. He could learn something useful, even if it's not Shadow ClonesRemember: Only a shitty craftman don't chage his tools when required
>>31466514ah, my bad actually. I thought that was a d100 for some reason.
Rolled 4>>31466531Its not the learning of the skill that is the problem, its the willful withholding of the scroll to learn its secrets despite knowing that it is being sought out by the village.Its the taking it for ourselves and not returning it that will damn us in the village's eyes.
>>31466550The dice disagree with you, therefore I must too.
>>31466550That's almost a non-issue. There's no feasible way for a genin, no matter how clever, to hide a scroll of forbidden high level jutsu from the fucking Hokage in his own village. He has the crystal ball, you dumbasses. We learn what we can to prove ourselves, probably get a slap on the wrist when we turn it over, then we get assigned a team.
>>31466554Die are too lolramdom to had anything constructive to a game session, anyway.Seriously, can you remember one instance of your in-game actions failing without a dice being involved in some fashion?
>>31466571I wonder what happened to this crystal ball. It could have been useful for, y'know actual spying work instead of stalking a 13-years old and peeking on women in the bathhouse
I don't know about dialogue, but dropping our disguise can only go badly.How is it less suspicious to be spotted going out of the city after we've been scolded by our teacher than it is for an unrelated kid to be spotted going outside the city? If we have to mug Konohamaru for the scroll we don't want our face attached to it.
>>31466571>slap on the wristBut we aren't the secret son of the last Hokage, village weapon, demon host, and near adopted grandson of the current Hokage.We're the despised son of a traitor who barely squeaked through the test.The fact that we were allowed to even become a ninja is impressive, I don't expect much more clemency.
“So what's like that?” You say, actually confused, yet get cut off by the man in black. “You go home kid, a real ninja's going to take care of a very bad man and save the Third's Grandson.” He smirks before flickering away, leaping to the next building and no longer concerned with your devices.Huh. Well that turned out okay...You see that the coast is clear and follow after this new guy. What's the worst that can happen?You scale the wall and drop down, bracing for impact but tumbling through the trees instead, causing you to lose you henge for a bit as you recover, pulling broken sticks and leaves off of you before reassuming the disguise of your tormentor.Hearing someone approach, you quickly hide behind a tree, only moving again once you've heard the rustling of leaves headed away.Time to follow...Bounding through the trees as you tail the man in black is a bit tiring considering the speed he's going at. You eventually see him dip down into an empty spot with a travel shrine. You hear Ebisu yell and fear for the worst as you come on up, hiding on the forest floor behind a great tree of the wood.Peering out, you can see the source of Ebisu's yelling. Mizuki's holding up the bloody body of that kid you saw earlier today. A deep gash running through his neck and the psychopathic white-hair turning slowly to look at the man in black.“Oh, You're Ebisu. You're this kid's guardian, right?” Mizuki smiles with a sinister grin, clapping his hands together to get off the dust but only spread the drying blood. “Shame you couldn't do a better jo-”
“Monster!” Ebisu closes the distance with a body flicker and swings his drawn Kunai to cut at Mizuki, who dodges by the barest margin, some of his white locks spilling onto the ground as he heads up into the trees, drawing a collosal shuriken from his back and spinning it with one hand.“So what? I'll be the one getting rich and fat from pawning off this scroll!” He flings the shuriken at Ebisu and it homes in, forcing him to defend even as he suffers deep gashes into his bicep from the attempt.“Mizuki!” Ebisu deflects the shuriken with a forceful push, altering the thing's path and sticking it into the ground as he chases the traitorous ninja into the trees. You see that the scroll was never picked up now that Ebisu's interrupted Mizuki's theft.Besides the bleeding body of the third Hokage's grandson you see an oversized scroll partially rolled open, just waiting for you to take it...>[] It'd be better to help the kid.>[] The scroll is yours. The kid's dead or dying. You can't save him.>[] Pursue Ebisu and Mizuki. You're gonna slug that guy at least once!>[] (Other)
Rolled 6>>31466571I don't believe it will be just a slap on the wrist though. Naruto has no standing with the village at large. K is related to the hokage so he gets a free pass.Us, we're ripe for a lesson in how harshly the village will come down on a ninja.
>>31466621>[] The scroll is yours. The kid's dead or dying. You can't save him.Guess what is a great distraction? The grandson of the Hokage dying!
>>31466595I'm saying we drop the disguise only if we "heroically" save Ebisu, Konohamaru, the scroll or whatever in the process. We don't want to do something awesome (the chance of doing so are slim, I know, we're dead last) and have the jerkass bully's face attached to it.

>>31466593Kishimoto has terrible ideas and awful implementation, we've seen this before.>>31466600This isn't about be a shounen protagonist. You're a ninja now. Not a samurai. You cheat, lie, steal, kill, protect, and sabotage things for your village. I'm sure they'll see the benefit in keeping around a kid who can successfully pull off a forbidden technique through using his wits and seeing the opportunity for it. This is how you make a name for yourself.
>>31466621Help the kid, the rep boost will be more useful than the scroll in the long run, plus we can just request to look at it as our reward for helping the Hokage's grandson.You guys are such small time.
>>31466621>[] The scroll is yours. The kid's dead or dying. You can't save him.
>>31466571Which is why we aren't hiding it inside the village at all. We steal it, drop it, and pin it on the bully. By the time they find it we'll have read enough outside to gain something.
>>31466621>[] It'd be better to help the kid.>[] Doesn't mean we can't pocket the scroll as well
>>31466649Oooor if you have been informed about the threat, and then read a forbidden, secret scroll, while being the despised son of a filthy traitor, you get executed.
>>31466621>[] The scroll is yours. The kid's dead or dying. You can't save him.Thank you for taking care of that problem Dran.
>>31466621>[] (Other)Take the kid and the scroll. He's probably 50 pounds soaking wet and shouldn't be trouble if we fireman carry him and I think the scroll we can just slip on and carry on our back.
>>31466621>[] (Other)Drop the disguise, help the kid. If we manage to sabilise him, there will be plenty of time for the scroll.And anyway, Mizuki got to come back for it at some point, so...

>>31466621>[x] It'd be better to help the kid.the Inuzukas would sniff us out if we try a dead drop return and our bad rep would make us a suspect.I figure Konohamaru learned a trick or two before Mizuki ganked him.

>>31466621How about we just shout really loudly that we found Konohamaru, and THEN run off with the scroll?In theory, there should be other ninja in the area who could pinpoint our location, and they'd be too busy worrying about saving the Hokage's grandson to catch us.Hell, they won't even know to look for the scroll.
>>31466700>>31466676>>31466680Seconding the combo, Naruto's a youngin' but he can't be that much of a weakling that he can't carry both Konohamaru or the scroll.

I suppose we should define once and for all if we're power-hungry or affection-needy.I mean, do we want to git gud for ourselves, or to force others to recognize we did git gud?
>>31466807>[x] Hide it in an alleyway by the lot you go to.Clones can make noise, right? Can we have a clone yell after we already start running?

>>31466807I like the yell for help idea, Ebisu only saw us disguised and as far as Iruka knows we went home and Mizuki is as good as dead. Throw our voice, yell for help, grab scroll, book it. Hell, couldn't we come back under the guise we heard our own call for help?
>>31466807Okay master tacticianfags do your shit.
>>31466807Don't hide the scroll. Just take it allong with the kid to the nearest authority figure. And drop the disguise.I don't remember if regular Bunshin can talk, but they can help us cover more terrain, so maybe send them to find someone while you carry the boy and scroll

>>31466857I like this one
>>31466816I've already voted to take the scroll so don't double count, but I really like the idea of being a worthless lowlevel ninja so we'll keep being hated and grow bitter and resentful.Having secret scrollpowers to obsessively train while we memorize all the names of the people who hurt us is icing, really.
>>31466857seems...possibletake my vote,anon
>>31466852Maybe but I think it'd be interesting to have Iruka confront us about going home 'Ha ha, you knew I wasn't going to go home! I'm a ninja now, it's non stop action from here on out! Plus I saved the kids life, damn shame I didn't get a look at the scroll...

And we'll prove to everyone they were right to treat us like scum, because we're just as bad as your shit of a father.Also, being recognised as the Hokage's grandson's savior will help us have access to more jutsu in the long run (and not-forbiden jutsu that won't blow our head if we screw up, if I might add), without risks of getting killed.

>>31466887quote vote time?
>>31466887That we do. But hey, we're not saving him out of kindness. We're saving him cuz he's a kid who happens to be an EXCELLENT distraction for our plans. And also we're not a heartless monster.
>>31466887You know you could have just done a numbered vote, right?
>>31466887Yeah, we hate his stupid fucking guts. But he's the 3rds grand-nutspawn. Even nuruturd recognizes this opportunity.
>>31466887BOTH
>>31466887both with this plan>>31466857
>>31466887Eh, I'd say that's why we just shout or do >>31466857 if possible.Like while we'd rather not have him die, we don't want to get his blood all over us.
>>31466887Is >>31466857 workable?Because I like it.
>>31466903Why do we hate him?Or do YOU hate him?You're allowing too much of what you know to bleed through to what our character should do.
>>31466857loving this.Do this Dran>>31466887
>>31466887Well, having his throat slit by a giant shuriken may teach him how dangerous they really are. Stop this edgelord powergrabing bullshit and help the little fucker.
>>31466906And by "take the scroll" I mean "Take the scroll with us to the medic", not "Take the scroll for ourselves"
>>31466917or maybe he can just fucking die and we don't have to worry about the little fucker.
>>31466919I honestly think we're in a spot of trouble with the hiding of the scroll. Oh well. Lets see how this goes.
>>31466857Looked up the regular bunshin. It's just hologams. Which is really weird.Shoulda done this a bit ago.>[] Bait and switch. You save Konohomaru but use his condition as a distraction after you stow away the scroll. You yell for help and don't show when the person comes.>[] Scummy but safe.

>>31467006....did we hit a tie.
>>31467035Wait, Dranule. Its a tie. Don't write yet.
>>31467035
>>31467035Yes! We get to at least pretend to be a ninja!
>>31467035>>31467039pretty sure it's a tie, if we only count the "number only" posts

>>31467035Wait. Stop that clock friend, I'd like to change my vote>>31466990 to a 3
>>31467053Actually its not.>>31467023 does not conform to numbers only format.
>>31467060Huh. Well.
>>31467062Your vote didn't count anyway because you did it wrong.
>>31467035Boss! Hold up!>>31467060 + >>31467067Means its actually hero that wins
>>31467069Well, I'd like to do it right this time.
>>31467079Too late. Bend over.
>>31467085Not really. Dranule has been known to rewrite a scene if it's been pointed out to him that the vote was counted wrong.
>>31467085I'm not your mum anon, you have to at least pay for dinner.
Rolled 1>>31467060I think enters still trigger the spam guard.Let's leave it up to rng.1 Be village hero2 Be a ninjaKind of wondering why you guys seem to be angling for canon respect though. Weird change.
>>31467100Fuck.
While moralfibers are a bonus, you guys are still fighting Zabuza and Haku in the near future.
>>31467100It's because everyone is secretly afraid of becoming their father in this thread.
>>31467100because everyone in every quest ever wants to be a fucking messiah. the village hero thing is so goddamned stupid and just plays along with canon
>>314671001
>>31467100
>>31467100Because we passed because we met Gai I guess, and it's hard to really use that to be a shithead immediately.I mean we're even wearing the shitty clothes he got us.
>>31467112How'd you know?
>>31467100I blame moraldudes.
>>31467111Hence why having someone else save the kid and getting the scroll woulda been pretty fuckin' nice but the dice have spoken.
>>31467115Seriously drop the name man. Your just repeatedly showing how much of an idiot you are.
>>31467112... I understand now.
>>31467111To be perfectly honest...The only reason Team 9 gets that job is because Naruto goes and whines to gramps.If we do our work dutifully, the likelyhood of getting a Rank C mission so fast is low.
>>31467114Someone said it right in the last thread; quit trying so hard to set things apart from who Naruto was in the manga and who he'll be in this story.We're not here to be the opposite of Naruto. We're here to be the 'right' Naruto. Being edgy, being gritty, being darker is not the main goal that unites us all.
>>31467111no we're not.We're nowhere near the level for a C-rank mission. And contrarly to Canon!Naruto, we know how to bind our time when it suit us.No Wave mission for Dead Last Naruto
>>31467125I agree, leave name fagging to the OP.>>31467100It's because we don't want to lose Guys respect.
>>31467111We'll have to ask Kakashi to teach us shit I guess.But seriously, the dichotomy of "what would our dad do" vs "what would Gai do" kind of tipped things over I guess?I don't know, you could just decide what makes more sense.
>>31467130Nothing particularly grim or edgy about getting someone else to save the kid for us.
>>31467125Hes not fluff at least
>>31467132That totally wasn't our call. We'd have to metagame to avoid the mission to wave.
>>31467130no that someone fully supported the messiah style and was using that to prove why they were right.
>>31467111>>31467129>>31467132Makes sense, I suppose. Then it's just a matter of whether or not Dranule sees fit to force us into that mission.>>31467139I'm speaking generally. There were people who were all up for Naruto being a dirty ninja or one who'll leave to become a missing nin. In this situation, "gritty" applies the most.
>>31467145No, I wasn't, anon. I was speaking to an anon who kept trying to force everyone to agree on us leaving the village to learn somewhere else. Even after people repeatedly pointed out to him what the flaws in that idea was.
>>31467144Actually it will be metagaming to get it and the likelyhood of getting it when not on gramp's good side is low.Mind the mangafox
>>31467160No, you weren't, ANON. That guy stopped supporting that idea before you even said that and you just used it to handwave every action that didn't fit your good boner for naruto
>>31467144not really. We have to metagame to *get* the mission to Wave.Remember, the Hokage only did this as a favor because Naruto whined at him. This Naruto? not only the Hokage got no reason to get along with it (even if we save his grandson), by whining we would show we lack the maturity to complet such important missions. And there is no reason for Dead Last Naruto to even want it.I'm saying: Let's wait and see in which squad we are. Because we still have one exam to pass, and with our attitude it won't be easy
>>31467174I was talking to that one anon, so no, I wasn't.
>>31467174God. The way that you're trying so hard to fucking besmirch someone else just goes to show how bratty you are, anon. Grow up.
>>31467100>1 Be village heroTotally this.Not just for the respect, but to prove were better than they thought we were. We aren't the trash Neji accused us of being. We aren't the scum that gets others killed.With a little respect our sensei might think were worth a damn and teach us something of value that wont get us into shit.
>>31467170If we're more competent than canon, and Kakashi actually trains us, he'll find us suitable to take a C rank, likely it will be the wave mission.
>>31467201And then once we're acknowledged by everyone we'll become the Hokage!
>>31467199yeah good thing being besmirched on an anonymous website sticks the fuck around right. I was arguing with him not you
>>31467100>2 Be a ninja
>>31467195Funny how it's confusing to not know which anon we're talking about.If only there was a way to differenciate ourselves...anyway, guys, I'll drop the name by my next post.
>>31467201Honestly? Couldn't give a shit about what this hole of a village thinks.Screw them. Let's be great for us, not so that a bunch of assholes that mistreated us start being nice.
>>31467201You know, I may have been a bit biased about Naruto getting the scroll.This works out way better now that I think about it.Proving he isn't the demon fox became so arbitrary later with all the other shit he had going for him.But this? This is to get out of that shadow of failure and betrayal that he's been living under.Heck, he might actually be doing this because he's still a good person at heart.Orochimaru route looks further away.
>>31467209Entirely possible.However I expect that it'll take that much longer to get up to that standard. And we'll also have more time to train up.
>>31467210and then we can unite the world in hugs and happiness!
>>31467212Yeesh. Anon. You're doing to to besmirch a side that thinks in a certain way. I thought that would be self-evident.
>>31467227Fuck Orochimaru, can't wait to tear his heart out.
Sometimes I wonder if /tg/ is capable of playing non-good characters that aren't awful.This is one of those times.
>>31467227And Guy route, Dranule? Because that's the only route that matters. Unless you've got other goodies hidden away.
>>31467210>Fuck becoming Hokage. Our goal is beating Death and God.Now if Tsunade was in charge...>Fuck Hokage
>>31467227Well it is a major source of his initial combat powress.How about a compromise?We ask to be taught one of the hidden skills as a reward for saving the brat.
>>31467130Canon Naruto got magic powers for being a little shit. He got a tailed beast planted in him and didn't suffer as bad as Gaara did. He was hated for what he was rather than where he came from.So we're on our way to not being a punching bag. We're still bad. How long will the good impressions last? Will Konohamaru even remember that we took a shuriken to our prospects for him? Even if everyone admits we're not the spawn of satan, we'll never be the ninja that can MAKE them respect us. We'll always be going for scraps, begging for our turn to be powerful for once.I'm okay with this. Soon we'll fall behind and people will complain about how we're such a burden, and I'll be waiting when you want to arrange an "accident" for Sasuke so he can gift us both his eyes
>>31467227Michael Jackson a shit.
>>31467227you just can't trust a snake. or a man made out of snakes.
>>31467248you sure hes not a snake made of man?
>>31467238Tsunade?fuck the hokage indeed
>>31467239>Kid, you jokin' right?>pfff fuck no>yeah give a traitorspawn genin secret techniques, sure>be glad we didn't imprison you for disobeying a superior
>>31467248I can confirm that>>31467240Canon Naruto suffered almost as much as Gaara (he just didn't have his caretaker trying to kill him because shit plot). He just got some weird Stockholme syndrom
>>31467240Lets justtake them when he runs away.
>>31467259Yeah, and I found it creepy as hell.And the fact that /tg/ seems to think similarly is also creepy.Place treats like crap = dedicate yourself to earning their respect = dedicate life to protecting and enriching themGuys, the village's respect isn't worth anythingI'm totally good with being heroic even, just screw acting in Konoha's interests.
>Grit(0.10)>0.10I found that way funnier than I probably should have.
>>31467218You're really gonna hold that against them? You're the recently orphaned son of an alcoholic fuck up of a ninja who beat you. You have weapons training and are potentially a threat to everyone you could possibly be partnered up with. Yea, they're gonna keep an extra eye on you. Your father spent all your money on being a deadbeat and then went off and died, so yea, your living conditions aren't that great. And the bullying? People are mean sometimes, grow a dick and balls and get over it. This isn't "fourteen-year-old angst-monkey tells-everyone-how-much-he-doesn't-care-what-they-think-even-though-he-totally-does" quest. It's fucking Dead Last Quest. The point is to change the title of this quest.
[] Be a Ninja
>>31467283you can't be a ninja while trying to be hokage anon
>>31467248>>31467251Orochimaru was a man!I mean, he was a snake manOr maybe he was just a snakeBut he was still Orochimaru!OROCHIMARU!
>>31467281Loyalty goes both ways. The village may have had reasons to mistreat us, but that just makes them human, not someone we should strive to please. Fuck them. They have their reasons, sure, but that doesn't mean we deserved what we got.Maybe if they had done a goddamn thing to benefit us beyond not slitting our throats I'd care, but as is Naruto has no moral reason to serve Konoha. We had to join their military forces just to get rations to survive. They shat on him, he owes them absolutely nothing.Angsty is being the sole scion of a beloved (posthumously at least) clan who turns on the village that raised him over power.Not dedicating yourself to a place that'd smile if you died isn't angsty, it is common fucking sense.
>>31467299looks like someone wants a curse seal
>>31467299http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTGQdSfL8tg
>>31467273The problem, I think, is that you came into this with a lopsided view of what's going on.Kids are cruel, anon. Doesn't mean all the adults are similarly petty.>>31467309Case in point.
Dudes, Kakashi (he'll be our sensei right?) knows a thousand techniques. He may not use any but he knows them, and he might know some that fit our style (whatever it's gonna be).
>>31467326I would like to think that Nurutu would be really, really good at transformation and taijutsu. That seems like a good ninja combo to me.
>>31467310My idea for orochi route was to:>eventually get cursed>seal it yourself with techniques from scroll.>???>Burn the village.
So dran, once the scroll is firmly outside our reach, would you mind posting the kind of things we may have gotten from it?
>>31467326I hope Kakashi won't be our sensei.He might be a great ninja, but even Mizuki is a better teacher than this guy.I mean, have you seen his training ethic?>Let's make Mr. Snowflake even more special!>That it
>>31467273>>31467309Doesn't mean we can't USE them for our own purposes. No one is saying we become paragon of Konoha, just that they have resources and knowledge we can use. LONG TERM
>>31467319Fair. I'll outright admit I'm a bitter bastard.I just think that Konoha has to earn our respect. Naruto as is has no reason to be invested in Konoha's Will of Fire, because it never did anything for him. He has no reason to care for Konoha, because it has let him live and little more.I'm not advocating we burn the place, because that'd be horrible and far worse than what they did, to be clear. I'm just saying that striving to impress them seems...Rather pathetic. Gives them more credit than they deserve.And, while I certainly don't blame the kids, the fact that the adults never stepped forward until goddamn Gai is something to upset about.
>>31467348That'd be fine. I just feel that /tg/ is making excuses for their behavior while trying to be as heroic as possible. It wouldn't be the first time.
>>31467334Doesn't EVERYTHING to do with Oorochimaru end with burn the village?>Head out for midnight snack with 'Maru>Get some Ramen>Discuss young boys with firm juicy necks>Burn the village
>>31467360Whaaat, naaaaw. That's never happened before at all~!I mean, really. Seriously now. Surely not...
You stare at the bleeding kid, then flick your eyes over to the scroll. Bleeding kid, the scroll....It's no choice man... You run over to the kid, pausing at his body and trying to remember basic first aid they taught you at academy. You take the kid's scarf and use it to stop the blood-loss by tying it around his most serious wound. “Man, don't worry kid, you're gonna be alright. I'm gonna get you back to the village.”You glance back over to the scroll, the lure of power still calling out to you.Damnit, you want it so bad! You grip to yourself as you hoist the kid up over your shoulder, the fatigue in your arms and core taking effect as you nearly fall over.“Shit, I trained too hard today.” You pant heavily, feeling the toll of the day and night getting to you, but this is more important than that. This freaking kid could die. Forget the scroll. Forget about it!You leave it where it lay and run off to the village gate with Konohomaru, yelling when you get close.“Hey! Hey! I found Konohomaru! I found the kid! He needs help, he's bleeding real bad!” Hey!” You yell all the way up until they actually start moving their asses.The next moments come fast with Konohomaru being taken from you and escorted to the hospital. You answer questions about what you were doing out there and why you weren't at home.You tell them about Mizuki and the guy in black, how you found Konohomaru and where you left the scroll.By the end of the night you find yourself stuck in a holding cell waiting for release. You just kind of stare at the wall wondering what the hell happened and how you got here so fast. Some of the people didn't even want to listen to you.Some of them accused you of using a clone to hide the scroll. It wasn't ever actually found and that guy in black apparently never came back either. Or Mizuki.
>>3146736410/10
>>31467364how many villages can you burn down before it gets old?the answer is it never gets old
>>31467352Yeah, if Konoha want us they will have to earn us.And it won't be easy.
Iruka Sensei sits in front of your cell while you stare past him, a desolate look on your face until you swallow and fix it, smiling painfully and trying not to cry,”Hey Iruka-Sensei...”“Hey Naruto.” He says in a flat tone,”I told you to go back home, didn't I?”“Yeah...” You frown, tugging at the green cloth of your suit. “I didn't take it. When are they gonna let me out?”“When the investigation's cleared. They might release you. Unless you're still found suspect.” His voice is steady, and a little sad.“If... I am?”“This might be our last conversation Naruto.”“I didn't take it.”“I know you didn't.”“I didn't take it!” You yell into your hands, tugging at your hair. Damnit you were trying to do just one- just one good thing...
>>31467369I thought Ebisu was a jounin?And why tell them about the scroll.
>>31467352>I'm just saying that striving to impress them seems...Glass half empty, half full?Think of it in another way. Rather than trying to scrounge for scraps of respect, can't this be equally seen as showing we're not someone who deserves all their disrespect?Think...black guy from the ghettos. Some white ass cracker think you gonna hold him up for his wallet whenever you pass by. Whatcha' gonna do? You gonna play to the stereotype or you gonna rise above it?I dedicate this comparison to you, Dranule.
>>31467369>Some of them accused you of using a clone to hide the scroll. It wasn't ever actually found and that guy in black apparently never came back either. Or Mizuki.HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAGET FUCKED MORALFUCKS
>>31467369welp...I hope Konohamaru lives to confirm our story
>>31467360Well, it's not about being heroic. It's about not letting the negative in your life keep you from experiencing the positive. I don't intend to die with shit, just because we started with shit. There really ain't shit for us elsewhere since we're too old to go through their academies.
>>31467389This is hilarious. I voted to take the scroll, but I'm glad this happened the way it did.I forgot for a second that this is Shitting on Naruto: The Quest
>>31467369Dranule...THAT'S THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT WE SAID WE WERE DOING!>TAKE THE SCROLL>HELP THE KID>MAKE NOISE WITH CLONES TO ALERT OTHER NINJATHAT WHAT WE'VE BEEN SAYINGNO ONE IS STUPID ENOUGH TO LET THE POWERSCROLL IN THE FOREST AT NIGTH WITH THE ENNEMY STILL ALIVE!
>>31467376I am so not fucking surprised in the slightest. Fucking idiot moral fags
>>31467389>>31467410>jizzing in your pants this early when it's quite obvious they'll just mindwalk us for the answer or realize that our story checks out once they find either Mizuki or Ebisu's corpse in the woodsHow pathetic
>>31467128/tg/ is the daddy issues boa-, no wait that's just 4chan in general. my dad died before I was born due to a car crash. I am mostly apathetic about this but I still wish I'd have gotten to know him...
>>31467422Nope. The "Leave the scroll, take the kid" won.
>>31467422naruto is, but hey don't worry next dranule post sets us free and blah blah blah little respect from people we hate because /tg/ loves to whiteknight everything
>>31467431Technically it was a tie and the RNG decided to take the kid.I'm still pretty sure Ebisu should be able to kick Mizuki's ass.
>>31467432Yes, because everything that's not totally grimdark is absolute shit. Why have other forms of legal punishment when you can do executions and blah blah blah
>>31467389>>31467410Considering that Dranule said that saving the kid would earn brownie points, I think you guys are celebrating abit too early.
>>31467425>>31467389Oh wow.It's amazing how powergamers will grasp and claw at whatever they can. You guys do realize what comes after this, right?
>>31467429Too bad that scroll is gone.
>>31467431"Be a Hero" won. Giving the scroll back was part of "Being the Hero".
>>31467452>powergamers>for trying to find a better wayOkay bud, whatever you say. Neither of the anons you are responding to, but really?
Annnd guess what.Nobody believes the Traitor child.huuuge shock.>>31467422I point you towards>>31467100
>>31467453You're still forgetting >village was founded on the principle of helping your comrades>we helped a dying comrade who was related to the hokage instead of grabbing a fucking scroll>mindwalk confirms this>Hokage either lets us go or shits all over his dead sensei by having us removed from the shinobi forces or executed
>>31467432There isn't even any white knighting going on here, however.What some anons on /tg/ like to do, however, is try and justify their powergaming and edgy desires, then acting like little brats when they don't get their way.
I'm getting AoPH flashbacks. The similarities will continue once we harvest Sasuke for parts.
>>31467446>>31467468GOD THAT OPTION YOU PICKED WAS SO EDGY LOL GRIMDARK EDGELORDguess that makes your choice the super shining whiteknight one
>>31467465>I point you towardsIt was recounted to 1's favor, however, Dranule didn't feel like counting it again and just decided to roll.
>>31467475>I'm getting AoPH flashbacks.howso?
>>31467467>mindwalk confirms that we were planning on stealing scroll before conscience>might be tortured before mindwalk anywayWe boned.I'm all for being heroic kinda maybe, but this village distrusts us. We gotta be careful.
>>31467478It wasn't really a choice between black and white. More like well-adjusted and scumbag.Really, anon. All caps? And you're whining so hard while trying to be derisive of the other option. It's hard to look at.
“Iruka,” A voice calls in from the other room. “We've got an Yamanaka here. If the kid cooperates we'll have everything we need to know.”Iruka turns to you, a little forced smile on his face,”He's gonna have a look inside your head Naruto. Nothing too invasive, but we need to know where the scroll is.”“I didn't take it,” You press your head deeper into your hands before coming back up,”What do you mean inside my head?”A tall man with long light blonde hair steps through the entryway, looking down to Iruka,” I heard the trouble. This boy's the suspect?”“Yeah, he's a recently graduated student of mine.” Iruka says, getting up to leave,” If you could let me know what you find,” Iruka claps a hand on to the Yamanaka man's shoulder. “I'd appreciate it.”With Iruka leaving, the man sets down before you like an executioner, his eyes resting upon you with a sort of recognition as you look back to him, withdrawn.“You are in my daughter's graduating class, yes?” He removes a glove and slips it through the bars for a handshake, “Inoichi Yamanaka, Ino's father.”You stare at the mans hand, swallowing the lump in your throat down hard.You know Ino. She's one of the girls that likes to talk about how much of an idiot you are and watched some of the other kids throw rocks at you only to walk away.You know her because she's pretty. About as pretty as that Sakura girl even if she's just as bad.>[] Shake his hand.>[] Ask him what he's going to do.>[] “Is the kid alright?”>[] (Other)
>>31467486We didn't actually plan to seal the scroll in this instance, though.>>31467369They'll know we wanted it, but they'd also know we never thought of taking it.

>>31467475Prof generally lures in the crowd that whines when things go wrong, no matter how justified/unjustified. The problem is that sometimes it is, but no one is calm enough to point it out properly. This one was perfectly fine, though, IMO.>>31467508supporting this
>>31467503On this, we should train our flexibility while we're younger.Flexible people can do all kinds of crazy shit.
>>31467508This
>>314674983
I suppose the best case scenario is that we get a minor commendation for saving the boy......but we still kinda defied direct orders from a superior in the process. Hope it evens out.
>>31467498>>[] Shake his hand.>>[] “Is the kid alright?”>>[] Ask him what he's going to do.
>>31467482We investigated a Hypno's rape village and came across a human psychic who almost killed us before we convinced her we'd be missed, when she decided to just mindwipe us instead. When she was momentarily distraught we chose to try to help her rather than delivering frozen death. When Hypno came back, she helped him mindfuck us and we had to be rescued by an asshole hellhound.This caused a shitstorm every time we met a psychic afterwards.
>>31467536Yeah, this was fine. Really, the only times people shat on one another this badly without there being a good reason in AoPH, I think, was right after the crytten implants were chosen and the Hypno village.
>>31467537you don't want to be too much flexible in jail, though. Dropping the soap and all that.

>>31467553Let's NOT bring those up again.
>>31467579I change my vote to this>>31467508
>>31467521Why is wanting to save a kid and staying away from the obvious contraband the "white knight" option? Is it not the normal option? Trying to take it for ourselves is obviously quite dirty. The other is just the normal option (next in line to just staying at home away from all the mess).
>>31467508This.Trying to be all charismatic is just gonna fail.
>>31467498>>[] Shake his hand.>>[] Ask him what he's going to do.>>[] “Is the kid alright?”all works
>>31467579>>31467541>>31467531I'm tempted to call samefag.
>>31467552>This caused a shitstorm every time we met a psychic afterwards.Or rather, it came up in another shitstorm of railroading. It was bad enough that espers reflexively get to know everything without people being able to resist (but at least Dranule promised to let that be resisted with bonuses from evil ranks), but the major cause of that shitstorm was the railroading.
>>31467593Shaking his hand is normal since he's the one who extended it first.Asking if the kid is alright is also normal since we landed in ninja jail for helping him out.And asking what he's gonna do...well, that's very normal. He's about to peek into our head, after all.
>>31467607There's no such thing as railroading. Just anons that can't handle the consequences of cumulative bad decisions.
>Naruto's perspective>Dad is deadbeat scum>Dies a traitor>grow up distrusted or hated by adults and bullied by kids>nearly killed a couple times because kids with knives>No friends, no family, nobody cares about you ever>barely pass exam through hard work, inspired by one weird jonin>Pass exam, examiner is a dick>Kid that tried to kill you is in trouble, investigate>try to help, save his life, get imprisoned, told you might be executedYeah, Naruto isn't in a good headspace right now.And I bet we'll get jack or admonished if we are exonerated, too.>>31467605No idea, but I'm >>31467593
the irony is that dranule said he liked using morally grey choices but then immediately in the next thread throws out the GOOD NEUTRAL EVIL options. I think it's just kinda funny
>>31467498>[x] Shake his hand."Let's do this thing so you guys can stop looking at the wrong guy and get this all sorted out faster."
>>31467621Normal, yeah.I more meant that Naruto is probably pretty emotionally torn up right now. I doubt he's in a good place to try and be charming or friendly.
>>31467622It was railroading, anon. From the catwalk being destroyed to the Tentacruel coming in at that exact time to replace the scene.
>>31467629It's just normal Dran procedure.
>>31467638Nah, the players did that.
>>31467629That's how every single set of options is.
>>31467629>GOOD NEUTRAL EVIL options.meh, they were all moral grey to me.>Take the scroll and leave him.Bitch threw shurikens at me. The fuck.>Help him and take the scroll.Holding onto it isn't gonna hurt anyone and so long as he's saved then I can keep a clear conscience!>Help him and leave the scroll.This is the one that I'd say is fundamentally good because it offers forgiveness and turning the other cheek, etc.
>>31467647>That's how every badly written set of options isftfynow granted there are going to be places where the only thing to do is be a dick or be a hero but not having more setup for that moment feels bad
>>31467645The fuck we did.The catwalk was at least salvagable, the Tentacruel attacking then was purely because he needed a new cliffhanger.
>>31467658SAVE THE KID BUT DON'T TAKE THE POWERSAVE THE KID BUT ALSO TAKE THE POWER FUCK THE KID JUST TAKE THE POWERthese aren't morally grey
>>31467658I feel honestly sad we won't learn any jutsu, or improve our abilities this thread.But a Rep boost is nice.
>>31467622>>31467638This. The plan was sound enough. And Prof had been repeatedly admonished for how he handled esper mindreading abilities (which he admitted and promised to tone down), but even if that had remained, the esper had no way of attacking us short of using his own esper mental attacks which we already knew at that point could be resisted. Not that we would have to, since Icicle Gun would have had priority and we had him Locked On. The plan was solid.Maybe Prof had planned for the esper to have summoned the Tentacruel earlier. Maybe he changed it so that she just sensed it coming in response to people complaining about how much he abuses esper abilities. Point is, though, he brought it in early because he couldn't force an early conflict without seeming like an ass. But he railroaded hard instead, which, while not as bad, is still pretty horrible.
>>31467671What would you have listed?
>>31467686Doesn't matter, get to writing.I just noticed the thread title mentioned team seven, so let's do that.
>>31467686well if we were going to save the kid we would have also grabbed the scroll and returned it. That just makes sense.
Come on guys, adversity builds character! So what if we don't have secret ninja skills. We saved a kid! I bet Hinata will like that. If we do enough good shit they might actually consider letting us date in the open!
>>31467696I believe it was implied we were too weak to carry both.Those scrolls are enormous. For...some reason. Dunno why.
>>31467696You recall how big that scroll was?
>>31467686the problem is with how you set up the entire scenario not just what you listed. Don't get buttmad over someone pointing out the choices fall finely into the good, neutral, bad placeholders. there are places where that's fine it's just I found it funny that you mentioned using more morally grey options but then immediately went with the normal option set
>>31467707I'm not buttmad. I was honestly curious.
>>31467707What makes something good neutral or evil is intent, anon. Only one of those had good intent. The others were some variation of "Fuck that I do what I want"
>>31467704because her hair is full of secrets
>>31467686>>31467707Morally grey>Do something bad for a greater good>Do something good for selfish reasons that further one's own agenda?
“Ino and I aren't exactly friends,” You say with a desolate stare, trying to swallow with a dry mouth. Looking the man in the eye, you see that his expression is unchanged and his hand hasn't moved.He's staring at you with the same look that some of the kids and the adults give you. One that expects you to make absolutely nothing of yourself.“I didn't do it.” You say.“I know.” He says, his hand still outstretched.There's a moment of silence between the two of you. “Is the kid alright? You say, cutting a wedge through the veil.“He's recovering. He should be back on his feet in a few weeks.”“Good.”The silence ferments as Yamanaka's eyes remain unchanged, his posture frozen and waiting.You finally let out a deep sigh and take his hand,”Let's just get this over with.” You say, shaking his hand.At the touch, you feel something overcome you and invade your thoughts before it all goes black.When you come to, you're getting up to the sound of Yamanaka talking to the warden of the ninja police. “Yes, let the record show that he had no part in the theft, and acted solely for the sake of the village.”“Is that all Yamanaka? Anything else you'd like to add?” Another voice asks.“No, that is all. He was telling the truth, and he doesn't have the scroll.”“Surprising to hear about from this kid, you've heard about his dad right?“Inoichi sighs, opening the door,”I'm well aware, that's a shadow that drives him. If that's all well and done, let the boy home so he can get some sleep.”Coming out of your grog, you feel the induced slumber wearing off. You're escorted home by a nin, and left there to your own devices, quickly falling back into your bed with morning just as the sun filters in through your window.Dammit, you have the graduation ceremony and team assignments today...>End Thread feeling like the MC.
>>31467696Of all the things to complain about, this is a shitty one.We worked out till we couldn't stand. Those scrolls are XBOX HUEG. Have a look back at ep1.
>>31467706Not until just a second ago, but Its rather pathetic we couldn't carry the kid and something that size.
>>31467729It's heavy with secrets.
>>31467726>>31467729Not to mention, you're a fucking midget even by asian standards.
>>31467729You do not have room.On your personFor all DAT SCROLL.
>>31467740It has a sling thing to hang it on your back.
>>31467725>“Yes, let the record show that he had no part in the theft, and acted solely for the sake of the village.”HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAGET FUCKED EDGEFUCKS
>>31467723okay, I had to google that to figure out what you were talking about, and while it was funny, I have to ask, why do YOU know that reference?http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xqrvw0_mean-girls-clip-hair-full-of-secrets_shortfilms
>>31467725>No new jutsu>No training>Learn asshole sensei was actually asshole traitor>Gain respect of mental walk dude (I think?)Not the...most progress, but hey, at least it's something, right?I like this angle. I wanted Shadow Clones bad, man, but this also has a strange sort of good feel to it too. Like Naruto really IS in the right here, and we should be rooting for him even harder.I dunno. I like it.
>>31467716in almost every single scenario saving someone over gaining power is going to be good option and the reverse is the bad option. There was no real way to avoid good neutral evil with that set up. your list was correct because the only moral grey option that could be there was there. Save the kid but also take the scroll. but if you really want to make a list of moral grey options than you need to tweek the scenario.
>>31467725Guys, make sure not to vote for a while until the thread has gone down on the archive list.
>>31467729Nigga, that shit weighs at LEAST as much as a carpet does, and a kid ain't exactly light either.You ever work out really hard? Do a hundred sit ups and push ups maybe? Shit burns, man. Burns hard.We're lucky we did as much as we did today.
>>31467749And guess what?Now that we saved his life, we're almost certainly going to be Konohamaru's new Boss!Isn't that wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>31467740You fireman carry the kid and carry the scroll on your back.It has a sling on it right in the picture, Dranule.Shit, how do you think Jiraiya carries that big fuckoff scroll?
>>31467761This anon has got it, though>>31467724That wasn't a neutral or morally gray option. That was a 'evil' option, although much less evil than just leaving the kid to die while stealing the scroll.
>>31467777God damn it quads guy, why did you have to point that out?
I'm really looking forward to next thread. My biggest fear was that you'd go easy on us and it would be 90 percent smooth sailing. Several more threads of naruto getting shit on will make everything later on much better.Thanks for running this is the midst of selfish/moral shitflinging
>>31467783Because life is cruel.
>>31467778800 pushups
>>31467759>>Gain respect of mental walk dude (I think?)More like pity.In any case. I do have a surprise for next thread during Team assignments.
>>31467802Is a surprise which causes pleasure or a surprise which causes anguish?
>>31467802>We got put on the team with the actual 9tails jinchurichi
>>31467802*Maybe.
>>31467802Well I'm looking forward to it. I'm liking how you are running things even if I disagree with some things.
>>31467785There was a shitfest?Oh, right, I turned on my tunnel vision and only read Professor's posts like I do for all his other quests.See you fucks in the next thread.
>>31467777>>31467783>>31467796Teach him to be less obnoxious?Turn him into another one of Guy's disciples?
>>31467802Hey, pity is the poor man's respect!Man, that did not feel as satisfying as I hoped. I want shadow clones, dang it.
>>31467815>There was a shitfest?No, you probably read through the thread like everyone else.Because he wasn't talking about a shitfest. He was talking about Naruto getting shat on by the other characters.
>>31467810I swear to fucking god.I SWEARTHIS SHIT WILL NOT FLY>>31467811>>31467802I hope it involves Hinata.That is all.
>>31467820Snap after being followed by a miserable twerp for days on end an then strangle him and leave the corpse in a ditch?
>>31467840everything here
>>31467802Are we getting Ino?
>>31467844How about beating him with the fist of love and teaching him to live out his springtime of youth like a proper man?
>>31467861>springtime of youth like a proper man?You know, using Guy as a mantra kind of makes being a good guy feel better.
>>31467802The surprise better be "there is no surprise" because I'd say being stuck with the two worst possible teammates, and the laziest sensei really fits the whole "everything sucks" vibe.I mean with literally every other important genin in our class, we could reach SOME kind of understanding, but not those two.
>>31467861In a ditch?Konohamaru is all the terrible of Naruto without any of the good parts.
>>31467872Even Ino?
>>31467869I dunno, I'm kinda interested in seeing where taking Guy's philosophy selfishly would go.It makes me imagine black and grey exercise jumpsuits and gleaming sinister smiles behind thumbs upBecause Evil Guy would be amazing.
>>31467876Naruto is pretty terrible himself. Why not change Konohamaru while changing ourselves?
>>31467888Eh, she's equivalent to Sakura, but at least can do things sometimes.
I want to waifu Haku.
>>31467909second
>>31467900Because that requires being near him.And I don't want to catch what he has.>>31467905Plus, it means interacting with Choji, and Choji is chill as hell.
>>31467909Third.Mmmh, assassin traps.
>>31467909Fourth.Also; since this is non-canon naruto, do the females have a chance to actually be effective?
Hope to be assigned Anko anons.we should interact more with the characters that have little screen time so that in this quest at least they can have some spotlight.there is just so much wasted potential in the series.
>>31467931The series is actually just a long documentation of the process of wasting potential. 'Tis fact.
>>31467913>ChojiI'd rather have Kiba. Choji's entire drive is "I'm fat."
>>31467930>do the females have a chance to actually be effective?Maybe. Angling to yes.
>>31467935Nah man. Nah. It's the same principle behind Choji storing up fat, you know?All these characters, sideplots, and interesting concepts from the beginning? They're just fat. Meant to be burned up once in the entire manga and only near the end. Totally.Totally.
>>31467946So.When do ninja get a chance to actually learn jutsu and chakra stuff LEGALLY, without letting the Kage's son die horribly while we steal super secrets?Hoping we learn something, or get better at something next thread.
>>31467958"Like, totally."
>>31467970Maybe there's some basic techniques in a library or something?
>>31467971get to writing
>>31467983Threads over mate
>>31467970>>31467979Most of it, we'll probably learn from whoever our team leader is.But we'll probably skive off some lessons from Guy sensei too. I wonder if Lee won't end up becoming our own personal rival if we end up learning a lot from Guy?>>31467983The thread has ended.
>>31467993>>31467996oh. I scrolled down too fast and missed the last post
>>31467970Planned for it to be in some downtime threads after the team assignments and after the trial of getting Kakashi's bell.Some character interactions and shit, extrapolate more, maybe see some best girl and best sensei...>>31467996I wonder if Lee won't end up becoming our own personal rivalBetter focus son.>>31467979Bare basics I'd think. Ninja techniques are cloesly guarded secrets between clans and such. Anything higher than a basic jutsu would likely be more and more highly guarded.Most of it passed down from squad leaders or other relevant sensei to keep the information controlled and carefully practiced.
For the guy asking about the scroll.I was going to put flying thundergod in there if you guys got in deep.
>>31468019Is Naruto any good at actually inventing his own jutsu? What would that require?
>>31468033He's done it before.With shadowclones.I'll give you guys more freedom as he learns more and gets that training done.
>>31468019>Better focus son.YES SENSEI!>>31468029Was that even a forbidden technique? I thought the scroll only had kinjutsu on it?
>>31468029Ah. Ahah. AhahahahahahahahahahaHAHAHAHAHAAnd instead we saved Fucking Konohamaru.Maaaan we got stiffed.And now Orochimaru probably has the goddamn Hirashin.
>>31468029I WANT THAT SCROLL! FUCKING FUCK FUCK!
>>31468019>Downtime after team assignments and 'Kakashi's Trial'Oh god damn it, I forgot that.This is gonna be impossible. At least we know the ANSWER to his trial. But I doubt we'll actually succeed.Still. Kakashi's got some good junk. He better teach us about Chakra control before the god damn bridge bullshit.
>>31468029Hmm.>>31467389>>31468043>>31468048Quests sometimes make for an interesting case study of people's psychological profiles in regards to how people react when something is taken from them.
>>31468042>Was that even a forbidden technique?Hard to use, difficult to master. And requires the use and knowledge of seals.I honestly wondered why he was the sole user of it.
>>31468077>Flying Thundergod'Fraid that jutsu escaped me when I was watching. But judging from the reaction, it's good.
>>31468077Maybe he created it on his own?Regardless>Hard to use, difficult to master. And requires the use and knowledge of seals.Being hard to use does not make a technique forbidden. Just taking a quick peek to the wiki, the Flying Thunder God Technique, like the Shadow Clone jutsu, isn't forbidden.
>>31468043>And now Orochimaru probably has the goddamn Hirashin.Well Mizuki is one of his followers.
>>31468094It's the 4th Hokage's GO FAST teleportation thing.
>>31468029Whats that?
>>31468096>Maybe he created it on his own?Oh wait, it was the Second Hokage who made it.Then it's just a really high level technique which was improved when Minato combined it with the use of kunai.
>>31468075You are aware of hyperbole right?
>>31468098True. But once they know who they're looking for, I hope the Hidden Leaf village has the sense to send their best assassins after that white haired fuck face.Right?No?Meh, some people wanted to make our own village anyway.
>>31468029While that's cool in a referential sense, being Minato's signature move, I'm not too sore about missing it. The most basic application can be replicated with a reverse summoning seal. The space/time hijinks with redirecting enemy attacks and shit are a harder, but are also the ones that require a lot of chakra.
>>31468111Yes, but that doesn't really apply to this situation?One anon tried to take a piss on all the people who he thought took what he wanted away from him.Another bemoans his situation.And the third guy is still reaching hard for it even though he knows he can't have it anymore.
>>31468131Ah, okay I guess I wasn't clear enough. People can be hyperbolic in their reactions to try and make their point more forcefully. For instance, I am the third guy and am I really raging or cursing? No. I am quietly staring at my screen somewhat irritated and wishfully imagining the awesome stuff we could have had. Unless you are being hyperbolic about >>31468075 I think you must be rather foolish to think what you read can be taken at face value.
>>31468228No, no, you're misunderstanding a lot.What people post here is what people want other people to know about how they feel. I even took the time to write down the reactions here>>31468131So that you'd understand what I mean. You want people to know that you still really want it. The second anon wanted people to know how bad he thinks the situation is. The first anon wanted people to know how spiteful he is.Hyperbole is a tool to let people know how you feel. You fucking retard.
>>31468228Anon. What the hell are you talking about?
>>31468248>>31468256God dammit I don't fucking know. I'm just going to go to bed and be glad I don't namefag this quest. Seriously I thought I had a good point but >Hyperbole is a tool to let people know how you feel. You fucking retard.Is pretty much spot on so now I feel rather stupid.In other news a faggot misarchived the thread. Big fucking surprise.
>>31468324If it makes you feel any better, anon, I don't really think you're fucking retards.Go to rest, anon, and dream of sweaty ninjas working out in green tracksuits.
>>31468340That actually made me chuckle. Dammit, Guy is a fucking riot. Night anon
>>31468324some days, I feel like namefagging just so people don't think anyone else is being retared.
>>31468033we should learn more on jutsu theory and stuff
>>31468051>implying Kakashi would be fucked to do soThe only reason he took the team was because Sasuke had the sharingan, and he had the sharingan.
>>31468101The Fourth Hokage's signature technique. Pretty much the reason that:1. People still think the 4th was the strongest ninja of all time (barring Sage)2. Konoha was able to win the second world war (or third, i don't fucking remember which one) Whatever one was the one where Iwa gets assreamed by Minato's I-can-kill-you-and-everyone-around-you-without-you-knowing abilities. (Konoha was losing HARD before Minato stepped it up)
>>31467729That fucking thing is like 100 phone books.Naruto is fucking 11.
>>3146967512, actually. And he's animu strong.Except tonight, because we decided to do exercise until we pooped in our jumpsuit.
>>31469738Man, we don't need flying thunder god, we can create our own version of it later if we fucking want.Me? I'd rather throw shurikan with the force of a mac truck.
>>31469457He didn't have many things to share-ingan with the other
>>31469442That what I said last thread
