Woot woot

You sleep well in your own bed, dreaming of training and becoming an amazing ninja.

You perform handseals and summon lightning down on Sasuke, frying him with the power of nature and lording it over him. A bunch of girls surround you, fawning over you and how powerful and strong you are.

The dreams take a sudden foul shift, the same lightning that you called down thunders down again, an ominous shadow standing against the light, blonde spikey hair looking back.

“You want to be the yellow flash too, eh son?”

You're back in your childhood room, a peek through the door and you see your father stumbling down the hallway, reeking of alcohol. You hear him open the door to his room and fall into bed.
With a sigh of relief you begin to turn around only to see him squatting before you, looking you in the eye.
“Yosh, son. Think your mom's coming back?”

You stare into his eyes, drunken and sodden with tears. Trembling, you find yourself unable to speak, because you know that no matter the answer-
He hits you, no, strikes you, sending you to the floor.
“sked you a question. You shtupid, son?”

Trying to get up, you feel him standing over you, looking down with a sake bottle in hand. He sets a foot back, bringing it forward right into your ribs and you wake up breathing heavily with a cold sweat.

Lying in bed for a moment, you wipe away old tears and stare at the ceiling for a while, listless. Why are you just now having dreams about that bastard again? Getting up, you rinse off your face in the washbasin before getting something to eat.

As you're getting breakfast together, you hear a knocking at the door. Who could that be? Only one that's ever really knocked before is the landlady. If it's her, she could just leave a note or something.

We so rarely get visitors. And when we do they tend to just break in. Such politeness as to actually knock should be rewarded with prompt attention.

That reminds me: At some point we need to break into Kakashi's apartment. And take all his books. It's only proper.

Ah, excellent. I was waiting for this. Decided to read the other threads on a whim, and was I was disappointed when I ran out of threads to read.

I will say that one thing that annoys me is when you'll randomly add Japanese exclamations ("Yosh," for example). I don't really see the point of using those instead of their English counterparts, especially since everything else is in English. Other than that this is really enjoyable.

Hey Dran what the fuck is Yamamoto up to?
Last time I checked in canon he became a fucking tree and everyone forgot about him.

>>32365728
He's probably being pissed and scratched at by an Inuzuku

>>32365728
Who was yamamoto again?

>>32365763
You know I always though they'd make him gokage because of that whole
Holy shit treeess thing he had going on. Plus ain't that shit good for restraining tailed beast and such?

>>32365787
I'm pretty sure he means Yamato, the sorta clone of the First Hokage.

>>32365787
Yamato was the guy who got infused with the First Hokage's DNA by Orochimaru when he was a kid. He recently was eaten by Spiral Zetsu to gain a boost in power for wood element techniques. He got regurgitated in the latest chapter, though. Then eaten by ANOTHER wood element thing crafted by Madara. Being Yamato is suffering.

>>32365728
He's back in the latest chapter of the manga

>>32365843
So he's a character who showed up after the manga got too much like dragonball z for my tastes?

>>32365855
just in time for the global mind rape

>>32365916
Yup, I don't see the point of it but he'll probably get shoehorned into playing some part in the fight back due to his super op powers despite the fact that they are possibly redundant

>>32365906
He showed up in the second arc of Shippuden. So, you tell me.

Patting your face down, you take a glance at the shiny faucet to check your hair. Messy and stuff but whatever, who do you have to impress? Slouching over to the door, you can feel your body creaking with soreness at the recent exercise. Your thighs burn like something's stabbed you but you ignore the pain. It's not worth paying any attention to.

You open the door, looking down at the floor to find a pair of feet wearing blue shinobi shoes. Raising your head up, you find yourself staring at Kabuto's face. The white-haired guy smiles and holds a grocery bag forward,”Hey there, Naruto. Got the bread I said I'd make up for.”

You stare out from the door, squinting your eyes with a bit of suspicious scrutiny, “I didn't think you'd really get me a whole loaf...” You look down at the bread. It's a fresh loaf, you can smell it from where your standing.

“Well, I said I would, didn't I?” Kabuto chuckles a little, touching the top of his head abashedly, “Though to be honest, I did forget the building, had to stop at a few others before the lady downstairs told me you were up here.”

The bag still sits before you, you keep staring at it now. The crunchy looking texture, the wafting smell of baked wheat and yeast tantalizing your nostrils. You almost never get fresh bread like this.
Kabuto seems to sense your hesitation and holds it a bit more forward,”Here, it's yours.”

You take the bag, looking down at it with a gluttonous grin, a little drool building at the corner of your mouth,”Th-thanks.” You scratch your head.

“No problem, Naruto.” Kabuto looks over you once more, his perpetual smile fading from behind those round spectacles, “You don't look very well, something the matter?”

“Oh, it's uh, nothing. Just had a bad dream...” You try to brush it off, but you just can't help frowning beside yourself.

>>32365985


“Sorry if it's a bit forward but, would you mind if I came in? If you need someone to talk to...”

Your look down, and then back up at him, a little leery. You just met this guy but... Heck, he's turning out to be one of the nicest people you've known. Doesn't seem to be a mean bone in his body.

What the fuck was the whole point of that plan?
Honestly Madara seems like a Saturday morning cartoon villain to me.
Now People like the mighty morphing trap/ child molestor Orochimaru, pain, and kabuto seem way more I don't know what the word competent? Frightening? The point is Madara a shit

>>32366006

We need to train not mope about our deadbeat dad.

>>32366006
damnit Kabuto, why do you keep showing up when i want Hinata?
"Thanks, but I'm good for now. Are you free sometime later though?"

>>32366006
>>[] “Thanks, but I'll be okay by myself.”

>>32366006
>>[] “Uh, sure. If you don't mind my mess.”
I don't really want to talk about the dream, but we still could talk to him. He's so friendly. And he really helped us out with the tip yesterday. At the very least we need to thank him for that. Kabuto seems like such a great guy. I wonder how he's going to inevitably try to take advantage of us.

>>32366041
>We need to train not mope about our deadbeat dad.
To be fair, having someone to talk to would improve Naruto's mood. Kabuto may also have tips for some things you guys have been talking about.

>>32366006
Soooo when exactly is Kabuto going to stop trying to scout us for Orochimaru's basketball team?

>>32366006

>>32366082
true, but so far we've tried to not bring up personal stuff unless pushed really hard to do so (as opposed to our dislike of how others treat us, which we probably talk about too much).

>>32366110
Which is strange cause Leaf Villiage ninjas can't jump for shit. Now them lighting Ninjas in the mountain? Those fuckers got hops.

>>32366006
>[] “Thanks, but I'll be okay by myself.”
Ok, I'll admit that my meta knowledge about Kabuto influenced this decision. Do not want to associate with this guy.

Maybe in this timeline he isn't secretly an evil prick, but I don't wanna take that chance.

>>32366006
>>>[] “Uh, sure. If you don't mind my mess.”
We need a friend.

>>32366006

>>32366192
I thought you said we weren't gay

>>32366156
See, for me it's my meta knowledge of Kabuto that makes me want to associate with him. He'd make such a more interesting rival than Sasuke would. Cultivating a friendship with him so we can feel appropriately betrayed later on is the first step towards removing Sasuke's importance to the narrative.

Damnit Dran, you bastard! I know what you're doing! I KNOW! I'll be here when Kabuto tries to get Naruto to defect ;-;

>>32366208
this is why I didn't much care how the vote went. I voted against because its fucking early

>>32366183
I know Dranule said it would take a lot to make Kabuto turn against Orochimaru, but by the time we first saw him in the manga/anime, isn't Kabuto ALREADY contemplating treachery?

I mean making Kabuto be less of an evil jackass will be almost impossible sure, but that's not the same thing as no longer serving Orochimaru.

>>32366208
See, this is why I voted for it, that and in-character we don't have a whole lot of reasons not to think Kabuto's a nice guy and that he wouldn't be a good friend

>>32366261
At this point, I think Kabuto's already under Sasori's thumb if I remember right.

>List of things Kabuto might try/be working towards

1.) use Naruto to get to Sasuke
2.) get Naruto to defect
3.) get himself some sweet sweet emotionally fragile orphan with a chip on his shoulder ass
4.) He actually feels legit sympathy for a fellow orphan with no ulterior motives

>>32366251
see, I voted against because I wanted to hang with other characters. I still want to try and talk to our stalker before Kakashi time, and tonight we should work at the flower shop because Inoichi is best fatheru. We haven't even met Shikamaru or Kiba, who're both pretty bro-tier

>>32366326
I'm hoping it'll be the third
Shota Yaoi~

>>32366202
>gay for Kabuto
I'm okay with this!

>>32366261
More seriously, I think we'd be okay with associating with an evil jackass, as long as he's a jackass to other people, not us.

Plus, should we decide otherwise/end up in a really bad situation, he might be an in to Orochimaru, which could be potentially handy/hilarious.

>>32366321
Nope, that was a ruse. He let Sasori think he was his agent. Kabuto's like a septupal agent. Everyone thinks he works for them. But he really is out for himself. He mostly serves Orochimaru not out of loyalty, but because he sees the best prospects for advancement with him.

In case you didn't check already Dran, Kabuto appears to be Water element, and has some familiarity with Earth techniques.

>>32366321
Wait I thought Kabuto was just being the treacherous, lying, chess master, son of a bitch that's Kabuto and playing meveryone to his own fiddle?

Let's be honest; Getting Kabuto on our side means getting an introduction to Mad Chakra Science.

That is by no means a bad thing.

>>32366006
>>[] “Uh, sure. If you don't mind my mess.”

>>32366339
eh, I think our first talk with Sasuke's better replacement shouldn't take long. mebbe we can convince Hinata to actually talk over brunch at the ramen shop or something

>>32366380
Also requesting a photoshop of Kabuto on this pls

>>32366380
>>32366357
So in other words, he's Revolver Ocelot?

>>32366393
true. it also means a much cooler Valley of the End fight

>>32366397
Please dran?

>>32366261
He was as a mental exercise.

Pussied out when he saw Sasuke do the deed.

>>32366393
Or at least that jutsu of his that disrupts the nervous system

>>32366411
Basically. He even does the "I tricked you into thinking I was tricking you, but in a slightly different way from the way I was actually tricking you!" thing.

>>32366397
seconding the fuck out of this

>>32366417
I don't think that'd happen.

Specifically if Kabuto starts running, we wouldn't be good enough to catch him.

Also, let's not completely write Sasuke off yet.

>>32366393
and if we have basic medical ninjutsu before the land of waves, Xabu and Haku might not die

>>32366446
More like
"I was tricking you? When were you under the impression that I was tricking you?"

>>32366442
No, he had that used on him, not by him. Tsunade's the one who knows that trick. And let's be honest, we're not getting training from Tsunade. She's never coming back to Konoha. Really, her life is going to be substantially worse in this timeline, just by virtue of not having a messianic surrogate grandson hanging around her.

>>32366502
Ah, my bad, it's been a while

>>32366502
Speaking of that nerve thing, it's kind of crap that Tsunade never uses it ever again.
I mean, that provides at least ten seconds of throat slitting time.

Oh well though. One of those amazing jutsus that's never mentioned again.

>>32366488
Zabuza can go fuck himself.

Eventually realizing he liked his cocksleeve after it was too late to matter really doesn't give him any points in my book.

>>32366554
Can we get it or something like it?

>>32366578
true, but Haku's awesome

>>32366585
Probably. There's a lot of shit that can do that. Last I checked the rasenshuriken fucked up every single cell in your body and was labeled a forbidden jutsu by Tsunade.
Also we may or may not have a bullshit Kekkai Genkai. I think it came with the box.

>>32366502
Then again, a gilgameshianic blond guy hanging around isn't so bad

>>32366617
Could he simply be defeated by using our ninja magic to look like Zabuza? Haku would know it's an illusion, but I don't think he would be able to hurt even an illusion of Zabu

Rolled 92

>>32366762
Wouldn't that send it into a further blood rage? I also refuse to assign Haku a gender.

>>32366762
He wouldn't even necessarily know that. Seeing through transformations seems to be something you can only really effectively do if you're a sensor-type. Haku isn't one of those. We could probably get the drop on him that way. That reminds me: We should see if Inoichi is willing to teach us to be a sensor. Because it's an incredibly useful ability, and as it's not a clan technique he wouldn't be barred from teaching it to us like he would most of his skills. Maybe we can negotiate for him to pay us in sensing lessons for our work at his shop.

>>32366804
It doesn't matter if he rage, as long as it isn't directed as anything looking like Zabuza.

>>32366804
Man, I'm still confused as shit at Haku's gender. Was she a female that pretended to be male, a male that crossdressed, or... I don't know. I don't see what the point of making her gender so confusing was in the first place. I refer to Haku with "she" because I at least know that no matter what, she at least identified as female... I think.

>>32366901
he's a male identifying as a boy, he just has a very feminine look.

>>32366901
Trust me Just call Haku an it. Saves your brain and dick a whole lot of trouble in the long run.

>>32366932
He dresses very effeminately, though. And wears lipstick. He identifies as male, but he apparently rejects the social norms that mean that dictates how he has to look.

>Not Schrodinger's Donger

>>32367147
I figured pussy because the thought experiment was with a cat

>>32367115
Well, yes, but he might be lying for whatever reason. If asking him was the answer, he'd be male according to what he says in canon.

People doubt this; thus, the only way to discover this is through direct observation.

If we were a Samurai, I'd suggest pantsing him. As we are ninja, the obvious answer is to sabotage his clothing in such a fashion that it will fall apart mid-conversation, thus revealing his sex without implicating us.

“Uh, sure. That is, if you don't mind my mess.” You stand beside the door to let the guy enter. At least he asked unlike -someone- you know.
He kicks his shoes off before your door and bows his head politely as he enters,"Sorry for disturbing."

You can't believe how polite this guy is... Is he even real?

You shut the door behind him and clear some room at the table, pretty much just shoving off some of the mess from eating last night. Ramen cups and a boiled egg to make it a bit healthier. Even though you get the feeling that he wants to say something about it, but doesn't.
As you start trying to figure out what to do with a fresh loaf of bread, Kabuto takes it from you and starts slicing it with his hands, just like the sharpest knife, effortlessly.

As you look on with a bit of awe, he starts making talk, “So, what's bothering you this early Naruto?”

You recline back into your chair, letting him take care of it. “Nothing, just stuff...” He lets you be silent for a little bit, “I uh, passed that bell exam.”

“Oh?” Kabuto gives you a cheery smile. It makes you feel inclined to mimic it, “My advice help?”


“Yeah,” You nod, then remember all that happened, “One of my teammates was all for it, Sakura's her name.” frowning a little at the history between you and her, “We managed to work together and get her a bell. We managed to get both of them, but it was only after I gave my other teammate, who's an idiot, an opening. He didn't even admit that he couldn't have gotten it without me.”
Your frown worsens, but then you remember the conclusion. “He got chewed out by Home invader-Sensei.” letting out a chuckle, you feel a little good just talking. It's not a big thing but.

“You like it toasted, right?” Kabuto takes a few slices of bread over to the kitchen counter,”Mind if I use the toaster?”

“Nah, go ahead.”

>>32367216
He puts the bread in the toaster, setting it to a medium-light, starting it up. Turning around, “So it sounds like you've got a bit of a black sheep on your team? Think it'll be hard to work with him in the future?”

You shrug,”Nah, I don't know. I think Sensei was gonna talk to him before me and Sakura show up.”

“Do anything else after the test yesterday? Any drills or basic training?”

“Nah, Sensei decided it was getting late and sent us home after a bit. I went to the library though, thought it'd be nice if I learned something new or something.” You lay your head down on the table, exhaling, “I didn't really do much during the test. I faked Sensei out a little but I don't know anything but Bunshin and Henge.” Lifting your head up, you peer at Kabuto's hands,”How'd you do that anyway?” You wave at his hand a little.

Kabuto seems to not understand for a moment, until he follows your eyes. “Oh? Oh this?” He points to the side of his hand,” Just a little trick I picked up.” He laughs it off,” I'm a genin for the medical nin. I used the chakra scalpel technique that they use for precision cutting.”

“You can do that with chakra?”

“You can do a lot with chakra.”

“Can you teach me that?”

Kabuto frowns, rubbing at his hands a little, “That might be a bit hard. Do you have good chakra control?”

“I saw a book about it in the library.” You groan,” Is it really that important?

“Absolutely. Without fine chakra control, you can't perform delicate incisions or keep the chakra scalpel fine, sharp, or even uniform.”

“Well, if I work on it, will you teach me?”

The toaster pops, “Sure.” Kabuto hands you a piece, “No reason I can't anyway. What else did you read about?”

Taking a bite of the toast, you consider it for a moment, “Nature release.... and a poisoner's handbook.”

>>32367243
>poisoner's handbook
>Kabuto's dick status :
>Diamonds
He's going to start scouting is even harder. How long until we call him big bro?

>>32367291
If he's at the toaster, we can't see his face. Damn; I'm sure it's a good one.

>>32367243
Silent for a moment, Kabuto raises an eyebrow as he turns back to you, his interest piqued, “Poisoner's hansbook? Huh, that takes a lot of study and mixing of poisons. Sure you want to invest time into chakra control with that ahead of you?”

“I was just... looking at it. Might as well know something about poison. I'm an official ninja after all, right? You know anything about poison?”

Kabuto smiles, showing a glimpse of his upper teeth, “Oh, I know a little.”

You and Kabuto talk for a while longer. He's surprised when you tell him that you tested positive for two elemental affinities.

“That's actually rather uncommon,” He holds his chin in thought, “Rare actually. Few ninja are ever blessed with two affinities... Not to mention you've found out so young. It might be better for you to pick one to start training, that is to say of course, if you're more interested in elemental techniques. Such a ninja tool as poison doesn't exactly have much synergy with nature release in any case.”

You think about it for a moment. If you were really to train in one...

I'd rather have a little bit of everything. Low level utilities from every discipline add up to quite an advantage and don't require the insane chakra of high level techniques.

>>32367407
Why rule out the synergy of poison with elements? There are tons of toxic minerals we could manipulate with the earth element. Realgar, cinnabar, orpiment, cantarella...We could do a lot of neat stuff with shooting tiny shards of poisonous rocks into people.

>>32367560
And poison is just fuckin useful.

You know it's funny how were all gottah catch em all about the Justus when like always /tg/ is going to forget like 75% of the shit we learned

>>32367560
The lack of synergy is in the cost-vs-effect.

Nature release eats up a lot of chakra and requires some modicum of control.
vs time spent learning how to brew and safely administer and efficiently deliver a poison into an enemy's body.

The real challenge here is figuring out exactly what you want to do and how.

Mind that you've got that limited time before you end up doing the -big- mission.

Gotta get something effective down.

>>32367609
Well since we're just starting off, it might as well be a good idea to see what both have to offer, and pick up at least a couple tricks to learn.

>[] Both. You might make split progress, but it'd still balance you out in any case.
We can become magnet lightning rod powers?

>>32367631
What big mission? It's not like we're going to rashly decide to proceed with escorting Tazuna just because he told us a sad story about Gato. We're going to run into the Demon Brothers, fight them, then head back home. Abandoning your team is worse than abandoning your mission, right Kakashi? No shame in turning back because we're worried the mission will get us all killed. And Tazuna was in breach of contract anyway. So we've got until the Chunin Exams to prepare. Plenty of time.

>>32367407
>[] Both. You might make split progress, but it'd still balance you out in any case.
honestly, even if we don't come up with a cool mixed technique, we need to have more than a couple tricks before we get good at them. Otherwise someone'll figure out what we do and we'll be dead

>>32367631
So how many years left until some dick head starts another's Ninja war?

>>32367730
If we're going by canon, around three and a half. And when it does happen, we're screwed no matter what since we don't have Demon Fox hax.

>>32367716
You don't want to have a bridge that's a lifeline for a country named after you? Where's your ambition Greater-than-god-sama?

>>32367716
dude no
we're going to notice the goddamn puddle in the middle of nowhere for no reason, kick the shit out of the Demon Brothers, then listen to Kakashi because he actually decides whether we keep going or not
Protip: ain't no way Kakashi's going to back down

>>32367743
Drazy baby said he was basically making up the elemental rules. Which means our bloodline might just be enough to gain us Magneto powers.

>>32367746
We don't know that will happen. There is zero guarantee we'll be the hero of Wave. For all we know it could be Sasuke who gets that! And losing our chance for glory is worth denying Sasuke the chance for it.

You shrug,” I'll try training both.” You get up, gathering some resolve in your heart. “If I'm going to become greater than god, I can't limit myself to one thing.”

Kabuto, while he seems a little taken aback, doesn't diminish your little moment, “Ah well, maybe you could at least start with one thing before picking up another? Even a Jack of all trades needs to master at least one thing before he decides on something else.”

You slink back down in your chair, “I'll think about it.”

Kabuto gives you a pat on the shoulder,” Good, well. I've got some things I need to get done. Mind if I drop in another day?”

“Yeah, sure. Uh...” You look down at the table, “It was nice having someone to talk to.”

“Any time.”

Kabuto leaves and you enjoy a slightly cheerier breakfast than before. He's a pretty cool guy.

Been wanting to do this for ages now.

Maybe we can get some tips from our flower shop bro. And also, money.

I kinda want to focus solely on Chakra control for a while. It's really important.

Also about the pastebin, what is a good number to have in stuff? 1.5 doesn't tell me too much, other then we have it and are close to getting better at it.

Maybe we can take a leaf (leaf, geddit) from Lee's book. We can wear weights while working.

On the upside he got a bullshit Kekkai Genkai so he can just steal all the Justus. Fucking Kakashi got 1 eye and he earned a nickname from tht shit.

now which of our stalkers buys a flower from us? Hinata or Kabuto?

>>32368062
But we need to inspire her to change before she can stop being a doormat

>>32368033
Chidori is probably one of the least cool uses of lightning element out there anyways. We should be able to do somethintg more awesome with it.

Like say... augmented illusions and hypnotism that actually slowly kills the targets by burning out their nervous systems?

Aright.

I want to say this: As much as Hinata stalks Naruto, she's got her own shit to do.
Also, the other cast-members need a chance.

>>32368107
I want a god damn tricycle option.

>>32368098
or combining Body Replacement technique with lightning so that when people try to attack us they get tazed

>>32368107
which is why I think people are asking for a brunch scene with her rather than spending four and a half hours tracking her down and interacting with her. As for other people having a chance, Hinata hasn't had a chance herself. We've spoken with her less than Sasuke, who we almost unanimously hate, and all that conversation did was make us want to figure out who she is in character

I personally want their canon meeting to happen, where people are beating the shit out of her and Naruto gets in the way and takes the beating, but that's supposed to have happened years ago

>>32368206
>Sasuke, who we almost unanimously hate
Why does everyone hate him? I thought we agreed that he acts like a faggot and we're going to fix him?

>>32368206
>to have happened years ago
Lets roll with he doesn't remember.
Just like how 95% of Naruto's prehistory involves him not being a pariah among his classmates.

>>32368230
I have no strong feelings either way on Sasuke. All he's really done is be a bit of an arrogant prick to us.

Oh, you meant meta hate.
No, I don't.

Do everything you can to the best your abilities, never regret a moment of your life, and never lose that smile.

Donning your green jumpsuit and making sure that your kunai and shuriken holder are fastened firmly to your thigh, you head on out and make your way to the Yamanaka flowershop, your stomach thanking you for the food, ergo you end up thanking Kabuto again for the food.

Ino's outside, hosing down a flower display with a sprinkler nozzel sending the water out in a fine fan of mist.

She doesn't seem to notice your approach as she hums to herself contentedly. She's wearing her purple uniform, , a vest with a raised collar, and an apron skirt with splits on either side. There are bandages covering her stomach and thighs to preserve her dignity, but it still doesn't leave much to the imagination as she sports an actual rubbery teal apron to keep her clothes dry.

here here! there' nothing like... sand coffins, except crossing one with an electric chair!

Stopping at Ino's back, you exhale a bit loudly,”Hey Ino, I'm here.”

Ino jumps suddenly, snapping to attention as she turns around, with a smile, hose still misting as it gives you a fine spritz. “Oh, sorry, sorry.” She apologizes as she starts wrestling with the nozzle, finaly winching it shut.
Finally, she clutches her chest, breathing out a sigh of relief,”You actually showed up...” A sudden shift in her posture, and she's the haughty princess of the academy again, “Alright then, Narutar-tar-tar...taro!”

A veins pulses out of your forehead in suppressed anger,” Naru...taro?”

“Y-yeah, can I call you that? Narutaro...” She laughs nervously, trying as best she can to play this off.

Sighing,”Whatever. What do you want me to do?”

“Ah...” She puts a finger to her cheek, thinking, rolling her eyes to look around you and slowly starting to sweat bullets. “Ah, first, let's get you inside!” She's at your back in a moment, pushing you into the shop against your will.

“Hey, what the- what are you doing?!”

“Will you just quit struggling?” After she gets you inside, she throws one of the aprons at you, as observed by her father, who's standing there, misting some flowers within, he's in full observance.
“Put that on, and um, just don't go outside, okay? We don't need you scaring away any customers.”
Her eyes travel up and down your body, and she looks away with a little disgust,”And where did you get that ugly thing?”

“It was a gift...” You say, suddenly looking down, beginning to doubt already if coming here was the best idea.

You know while I feel like we're coming I a close with the investigation. I can't shake the feeling that there's something else going on here.

“Oh.” Ino suddenly calms down at your gloom, “Uh.” She glances away, “You make it look good- I guess or something. Look, uh. I'll teach you about flower arrangements first okay? Is that okay? I'll have you make bouquets for different occasions...”

With her awkward compliment, you manage to frown a little less. She's actually kind of cute when she's not running her godawful mouth.

“Eh, Narutaro? You coming?”

“Yeah, sure, lemme just get this thing on.”

>>32368567
Fire is my favorite element. It's the element where life just keeps on putting you down, and you just rise up and go "No, fuck that.".

I'd like to have fire powers. Maybe subconsciously I feel like if I could have fire powers, I could burn away all my problems, internal and external. Like fire could not only make me physically more powerful, but it could make me stronger on the inside too. Not in an edgy way, but in a cleansing way. As if I could recapture the purity I had as a child.

Woah, fuck... Some emotions I wasn't prepared for just happened here today.

>>32368805
I envision her using it so much it becomes econd nature and then using it in public. It's a cutesy sort of nickname a girl gives a boy-friend too.

>>32368778
Since I run two other quests I spend at least 20+ hours a week actively running quests and ~2-3 planning out plotlines and events for the three.

I typically only have 2 days off a week and that's when I run the other two, this is one that I can run after work and it's much easier to plan for because of the pre-established characters and material reference.

Unfortunately I can't quite run earlier and longer is something that I can't quite do either.

At the very least, I'll start off the threads with a prewritten post from now on to save time and keep things moving.

I might be about to bring this back to two times a week, though it'd still be running at the same time.

Heh, nah actually I meant mentioning the two affinity thing.
"Potential incarnate' and such.

But really, we should learn standard jutsu first. I suggest having several threads dedicated to 'learn a jutsu! Which one?" And then we go through the process of learning it. this will help prevent us getting tied up with social stuff, when you are intent on jumping to big mission arcs or whatever.

Because tg loves social stuff. We love it lots.
Also, what do the numbers beside the jutsu in the pastebin mean, anyway?

I know, but I mean like...is there a 'mastered' number? Or does it just go up infinitely?

Does it affect rolls/DCs, or does it just mean how good we are at an action for fluff purposes.

>>32368998
Definitely. Totally up for practicing that shit after Flower shop and Kakashi junk

>>32369030
OH, he talking about YOUR pastebin. Not this.

Forget about this.

Oh, pff, answered my question here >>32369038 then. Thanks

>>32369041
Naw man. That is a handy list tho. Good for a reminder about some of the rad shit in Naruto.

Substitution Jutsu first and formost. Alongside Chakra control.

Toxicology and Affinity can wait until the basics are down.

>>32369052
Pretty much. Elemental Jutsu is fucking hard to learn. It gonna take a long time.

Might as well cover up the basics.

Random Overhuman bit...

Thinking that Asher's going to get a couple new cantrips and fix the names on some.

With earth mastery, I thought of "Pit Fiend."

At saying "Pit" a hole is opened up in the earth.
At "Fiend" it blasts up with Devil's grin, renamed to fiend.

Devil's maw is renamed to "Hellhound."
"Hell" triggers the initial explosion of corporal fire.
"Hound" Turns it into a beartrap that closes like a set of jaws.

Going to run it by, might be easier to have certain words be spell commands.

Such as having "Fiend" (renamed Devil's grin) be incorporated into Hound for Fiendhound or altered into Pit-Fiend-Hound.

Just shooting the shit, but I think it has some merit for making Asher a more progressive badass.

You're too goddamn awesome Dran. Thats just so cool. Fuck

>>32369133
I missed the last OHL thread, but that all sounds pretty cool. Especially the earth element, since I'd been waiting for that.

I realize that. My problem is not that she realized what she is saying and changed it to taro. That was cute in fact. It is stupid that Naruto said okay call me that.

>>32368627
>”Whatever. What do you want me to do?”
>>32369259
Wasn't an okay so much as a deflection that failed.

Them be fightin' words, son!

He recognised it and got a little pissed at it.

Still remember the first time we went to the store, she called us Narutard to our face and we got angry and almost walked out.

I can see it as sighing that some old bad habits may be hard to change and since Naruto saw that shes trying, its conceivable that he might get irritated but let it slide.

>>32369338
That is fine then. I took as an okay to let her keep calling him Narutaro.

You know, poison doesn't need /that/ much effort to develop.

I mean, that's how you become a poison master, but there are quicker and easier way to become a poison user.

>Step 1. Set traps to catch some venomous snakes.
>Step 2. Collect snakes and keep them in a fish tank.
>Step 3. Milk snakes for their venom. (Handle with arm-length thick gloves and extreme care)
>Step 4. Dose ourself with a tiny, not-lethal dose until we are immune. (May require study or just ask Kabuto.)
>Step 5. Poison sum fuckers.

>>32369514
The only thing I don't like about that is that that would likely be months and months of us being sick as a dog, to get use to that shit.
If it's strong stuff, at least.

Which means no training in all that time.

I'd rather do our basics, and get good jutsu down before poison becomes more important.

>>32368098
>Chidori is probably one of the least cool uses of lightning element out there anyways.

That move always made me cringe. It's an 'assassination' technique that SCREAMS LIKE A THOUSAND ANGRY BIRDS AND SHINES AS BRIGHT AS THE FUCKING SUN WHILE ARCING BOLTS OF LIGHTENING DANCE AROUND IT!

You know how you assassinate someone? Henge into someone they know, slit their throat the moment their back is turned, leave before their body hits the ground.

No noise, no witnesses. Already gone before anyone knows something happened.

>>32369611
Could try to do Kuchiki Byakuya's thing.

Shunpo+strike for two extreme vitals in one motion.

Would require major speed and good taijutsu though.

>>32369581
Not necessarily, have a small dose before going to sleep, wake up next morning fine. Ninjas might have other ways too.
