After the events on the bridge, Kakashi Sensei takes it upon himself to keep an eye on Haku. He tells you that for Haku's sake, it's better if he comes to the village where he can get some help. He spends a lot of time talking with Haku, trying to convince him to accompany you.

"You know..." you hear Kakashi Sensei tell him. "Sasuke's clan, the Uchiha, find meaning in their kekkei genkai. They serve as the village's police force, respected and looked up to by everyone. They surely live lives filled with purpose."

Eventually Haku relents and decides that having nowhere to go, he loses nothing by accompanying you.

Your Sensei also takes the time to reprimand you. "Killing Gato wasn't in the mission profile." he scolds. "I know it couldn't be helped this time, but try to avoid that in the future. The Leaf's reputation may be damaged, and as shinobi of the Leaf we need to avoid that whenever possible."

On the eve of the bridge's completion, your team and Haku are on a cliff overlooking the village and the bridge. Kakashi Sensei decided to let Haku get some closure by making a grave here for Zabuza. After everyone pays their respects, Kakashi sets Zabuza's sword in the ground behind the grave.

"What do you think, Haku?" he asks. "Would this make a good headstone?"

Haku walks over and lays his hand on the sword. He's quiet for a long while before speaking.

"I think this sword is like me." he says. "It wants to be useful to someone."

>A.It has use right here

>B.I know someone who can use it

>C.You should keep it, Haku

>D.Other

Wow, just turned on my computer and checked twitter right when you posted this.

Oh god no.... I had forgotten that existed, and know you come a ruin my blissful innocence.

>>42240448
>C

Haku with a giant sword. Yes please.

>>42240448
>C.You should keep it, Haku

Don't really think anyone in our team is suited to it.

>>42240448
>D. Keep silent, why do we always have to talk? See what your teammates have to say.

>>42240521
I am already imaging Haku after the two year skip where he has maned up and is wielding the sword.

>>42240448
>B.I know someone who can use it
C'mon, Tenten would love it!

>>42240501
You mean "ignorance"?

>>42240562
We talk because we have too. If we don't talk we will lose relevance and may fade into nothing.

I really meant "now" instead of "know" but might go with that as well.

>>42240448
>>C.You should keep it, Haku
>>42240569
nah,it's better with haku

>>42240448
>C.You should keep it, Haku
Even if he doesn't use it himself (it's not really suited to his style, after all), he might want to give it to someone else who he finds meaning with.

>>42240448
>B.
>C. You COULD keep it, Haku.

>>42240592
I'd much rather have our teammates do things and be proactive.

>>42240448
>>C.You should keep it, Haku
Or if he doesn't want it for himself offer to hold on to it until we find somebody else that seems like a good fit. Or just ask to take it for ourselves

>>42240613
But then you risk the possibility of someone like Sausage becoming the main character. We can't allow that!

On a side note i finally get to one of these early

btw QM when exacly do you quest?

>>42240670
Sasuke, phone is too hungry right now.

>>42240681
Usually an hour and a half from now

>>42240681
Usually 6:00 - 6:30 EDT, he started early today.

>>42240666
keeping it for someone else good enough is cool if haku doesnt want it but our str is shite so we can't really use ourselves

>>42240670
I thought Sasuke was pretty cool in the old Naruto anime, could be fun, and this one seems more mellow.

>>42240670
Sausage already is the main character, He already has the Sharingan and soon he'll also learn Chorizo from Kakashi.

>>42240724
Yeah, but then you have Kiba who has the Naruto-like spunk and that would make us the Sakura equivalent. We do not want to be the Sakura of this quest.

>>42240742
I'm fine with that so long as we get to help him not die or go down dark paths.

this version of sausage is cool guy who doesnt have a muderbone for itachi cuz the uchiha are still alive so he's just quiet and a bit of a pridefull dope

nothing like shippuden bitch sousage

>>42240723
Fair enough. But think of our gains if we constantly swung around a sword that size!

I'm just glad swords were a game changer.

We should spend time sparring with Sasuke. Test out his sharingan.

>>42240756
We are not Sakura, and Kiba is not Naruto. Hell, Sasuke isn't Sasuke neither.

>>42240772
He's unlikely to, in this timeline. His family is alive, which means he has no angst. And with there being plenty of other Uchiha to steal eyes from Orochimaru would probably target someone else than the clan head's son. So Sasuke should remain fairly chill, barring Madara's extremely circuitous plan interfering. But who knows how that's changed in this timeline?

>>42240792
actually thats pretty smart if we train around with it while on down time from missions

could gain 1.0 or 1.5 if we dedicate ourselves enough with it

>>42240812
This train is moving on! You have two choices, you can join us on train or you stand on the tracks.

>>42240840
Who needs big swords for strength training? For training, you just need to do something over and over again until you're sort of good at it. We could go out and buy weights if we really wished, though I don't know if we'd really use them when we spend our time hanging out with friends and doing chores.

>>42240904
Those heavy weights Rock Lee wears would be a good start.

Kakashi may not agree...

>>42240886
What if Kakashi is the villian?

>>42240852
Just because we're not in the spotlight doesn't mean we're getting railroaded. Hell, being in the spotlight seems as though we'd be obligated to do some dicey stuff, like getting into those mirrors with Kiba and Sasuke. Instead, what we did was help them win against Haku, because that's the kind of person we are.

you're right but think of it this way: with zabuza's sword(don't know the name) with can both increase str and our use with melee weaps and thats pretty good considering our current build

cuz let's be honest there's gonna be that one time when one dude is gonna be able to dodge or see or boom-booms and we'll need some form defence while desenganging

>>42240929
I don't think we'd be able to get up off the ground. We don't regularly practice Taijutsu on trees yet, I think?

>>42240958
And we got a cool cap to really accentuate our headband.

>>42240940
HERESY, NO, DOUBLE HERESY!

Wait wrong franchise.

Kakashi a best teacher, bad anon don't slander the poor man.

>>42240977
I'd rather have two smaller swords rather than one big one to take advantage of our speed. Though, maybe one sword would be best for Ninjutsu purposes. Although, our grappling-dagger has been kicking ass lately.

>>42240991
what if we use our village medal thingy into a badit mask style cover with the cap covering forehead/above?

we can cover our face save for our eyes, would be pretty sweet

>>42240999
>Kakashi a best teacher, bad anon don't slander the poor man.


>not "don't slander the porn man"

>>42241031
Our nose will break.

>>42241008
that's true but im just saying to use it as a form of training str while getting a little better with a sword cuz i thing we're better of with small arms in one hand while an off handed variation on the other

Sorry guys, had to run an errand, back now

>>42241067
It's better to train with two smaller swords for our build, like swordsmen did to train their offhands to do useful things during a fight.

Just get a goddamm proper mask, with actual filtering and such then.

>>42241125
That is a good idea

>>42241125
Make it a fox mask.

Or a mask of the shinigami.

>>42241008
I'd rather some kid of, I dont know, longer weapon.
A whip, or lash maybe. Also something that hasnt really already been taken in canon
Kusari-gama maybe.

"You should keep it, Haku." you tell him.

Haku looks at the sword. "I do not think I should find much use for it. I do not know if I ever even want to fight again."

He picks the sword out of the ground. "But I will take it if you say. Perhaps I may find someone in need of it."

The next morning you all gather at the bridge, ready to set off.

The entire village is also there.

"Thank you for everything." Tazuna says. "I know it's not much, but I know you all wanted something special for doing this mission. So, I'm letting you all name the bridge! How about that, huh?"

>A.You have an idea (Write-in)

(If it was named, then I forget.)

But ask what the others think we should name it, too.

>>A.You have an idea (Write-in)
How about the "Road to Glory"

i dunno i'm kinda drunk

>>42241247

"Kaiza."

>>42241307

>>42241247

Name it after Inari's father, perhaps? That seems like it would be a nice symbolic gesture.

An idea comes to you.

"What about the Kaiza Bridge?" you ask.

"The Kaiza Bridge." Tazuna repeats. You can see tears welling up in his eyes. Inari looks about ready to bawl. "That's a fine name. Thank you. Come back and see us any time."

You part ways and head across the bridge, and back to the Village Hidden in the Leaves.

As you finally approach the gates, you see someone waiting there.

"Ah, he must be here already." Kakashi says. "I sent word to the Hokage about Haku, and he's having someone meet us here."

As you reach the gates, the man comes to greet you.

"Nice to meet you." he says. "My name is Inoichi Yamanaka. I'm Ino's father."

"You're Haku, right?" he looks towards the boy. "The Hokage assigned me to get you settled in here, find you a place. Think of me as your therapist, I can help you talk out anything you want."

Eventually everyone heads their separate ways, and you go home, anxious to be back after the long mission.

The next week or so is back to standard D rank missions, but you find the time to...

Jutsu Trap synergy. Theres got to be some way to make them work together.
I wonder if theres some way to make a close range flashbang with chakra...

>>42241728
We have no idea who that is, though. We have never met Konohamaru, and given that Jiraiya is the current Hokage, we very well never may.

>>42241583
>>42241654
Training sword shit with Sasuke, but instead talking to him about Kakashi's Sharingan.

>>42241728
Whowhonamawho?

pls for the love of god can we try and learn some jutsu

>>42241736
There is. One of the Raikage's bodyguards uses ninjutsu like that. Don't know if there are any similar jutsu in Konoha's arsenal, but it's possible.

Suggest something cool, bitch

>>42241822
Seriously, guys, we already know how to do traps, we're mediocre to terrible at everything else.

>>42241801
Oh, I dunno. Maybe do that thing someone suggested earlier where we figure out our elemental affinity, and at least start working on some techniques we'd be good at.

Learn a jutsu in which the area around us is filled with wires and explosive tags, but thanks to chakra fuckery they're all hidden from sight in a similar manner to the shadow shuriken jutsu.

>>42241861
I'm not sure if we're intelligent enough to know about that yet.

>>42241861
>>42241880
I'm also not sure if our hand seals are good enough for any of that!

>>42241874
GENIN. We need to learn how to walk before we can run.

And before someone demands again that I "come up with an actual suggestion", I already did. >>42241632

>>42241880
We've brought it up with Kakashi, he says we shouldn't risk it yet. Though that was before we showed him how awesome our chakra control was, maybe he'll be more willing now. Still need to work on our hand seals and stamina before we learn actual jutsu, but he might not consider it too risky for us to learn basic manipulation techniques like "cut this leaf apart with your mind". Probably not going to let us move to "punch this river in half" for a while, though.

>>42241209
>A whip, or lash maybe
Chain-mine, anon.
A long metal chain with a weighted end and a detachable hilt, covered in hooks and barbs so it can better catch and bind weapons and limbs, with a bunch of explosive tags down the length of it.
Also at least one chain with no tags, for when and if explosions aren't appropriate.

>>42241801

Look up temporary paralysis technique on the naruto wiki

only a D rank technique so we should be able to learn it

>>42241880
We already fucking asked about doing that in a previous thread, so yes. We do know about it.

>>42241885
We have a high ninjutsu stat. If we need to work on hand signals to make use of our nature, then we can train that too. But we need to at least start the process, and learning what our nature is gives us a point to do that.

>>42241917
I still don't think we should ditch the Kyoketsu-shoge so quickly. Especially once we get really good with it.

>>42241912
Hand signs can be trained, or ignored if we can get hold of a chakra blade. It's absolutely not an issue.

Guys, we need to train our Intelligence so we can outsmart people.

>>42241963
We don't know unless we try, and put in actual effort into learning.

Take some fucking initiative, anon.

>>42241967
Hand signs are one of our lowest stats that we're actually gonna use right now. We're probably not gonna use genjutsu for a while, but we still need to train some of our weakest skills, rather than our strongest, seeing as we're below average in most things.

>Train
Work on making a chain that is actually a series of explosives, that can be activated using chakra, and can also detach from our weapon. Wrap it around the enemy, set it off, boom.

>>42241944
True. Perhaps have a Kyoketsu-shoge dagger instead of a hilt, so we have a K-s that can't be cut, that can be poisoned, and that can cover a fucker in explosives.

>>42241999
But why be a generalist when you could be a specialist?

>>42242022
Because there's no point in being a specialist if we suck at everything else. And besides, we're genin, it's way too early to commit to being a specialist.

>>42241988
Our intelligence isn't our weakest stat, or even our most useful one right now.

>>42242022
"A Shinobi should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for Samurai."
-Hashirama Senju

>>42241959
I have some minor faith that Konoha isn't that much of a fucking dick. Toadman is the Hokage right now, and with Sai actually in a normal school there is a large chance that Danzo is not around. Inoichi also seems like a nice and stand up guy himself.

I can actually see him saying that. Fucking Hashirama.

>>42242071
I'm going to need some citations on how you came to that conclusion. All evidence so far supports Danzo being dead or having a weaker powerbase than in canon.

Over the next week you spend a lot of your free time with your Uncle. He loves having you around as an extra pair of hands, and he takes great interest in the stories of your mission.

"I knew it." he says. "I just knew you were gonna be a great ninja. You just started and you're already doing amazing things."

You also manage to convince Kiba and Sasuke to train with you on your off-time. Sasuke acts as reluctant as ever, but seems to enjoy training with his teammates. In particular, he has taken a liking to the sword you gave him.

Training with Kiba and Sasuke seemed to push you harder physically than usual. You feel stronger.

After training one day, the three of you are walking along, making conversation.

"So my mom dragged Sensei to dinner at our house the other night, right?" Kiba goes on from in front of you while walking backwards. "Oh man, you guys should have seen it, my mom and sister were looking at him like a piece of meat! Sensei was sweating bullets!"

As Kiba laughs, he bumps into somebody. It's a taller kid dressed in a black outfit, with some figure wrapped in bandages on his back. Next to him is a girl with a giant fan. They both have the symbol of the Village Hidden in the Sand on their headbands.

"Hey watch it." the boy says. "What, are you punks Leaf Genin?"

>A.Who are you

>B.Are you allowed to be here

>C.Apologize for Kiba

>D.Other

So, I have a question for the OP.

Should we be listing stats to grind, or giving a training goal like "learn about our element" and allow the QM to determine which of our stats improve to reach that goal?

Okay, you know what? I'm okay with a lot of fucked of things/porn and that is not one of those things.

Shit, maybe just about anyone but Danzo in that situation and I wouldn't even care unless it was one of Naruto's parents or something. Naruko? Sure. Tsunade? I'd just ignore it like I do all incestuous M/DILF shotacon unless I'm in the mood for it.

Oh course we are, that's why we're wearing leaf headbands. Is it time for the Chuunin exams already? With that level of observational ability I'm sure you'll go far.

Oh man, we can totally have Kon bond with Gaara over the voices in their heads telling them what to do!

"I take it you're visitors, then? Welcome to Konoha."

>>42242374
Yes, then nail his sister!

If asked why we're being so polite we should point out that they haven't tried to pincushion us with needles, chop us in half with a bigass sword, set us on fire, or drown us. So by our usual standards they're being rather amicable.

Okay time for some real talk you niggas

The fuck do you want Kon to be wearing? What kind of outfit, what does it got on it? Cuz other wise Kon gonna be wearing a motherfucking magical girl outfit when I draw him.

Also I ain't coloring it, because that way lies an utter cluster fuck war since ya'll never agree on shit!

Maybe pitch in or the hair style but otherwise I'll wing it.

>>42242448

Plus if they were trying to sneak into/around the village, they wouldn't be walking in the open or start talking when we bump into them.

Do you really want to steal Temari from Shikamaru? That way lies no Shikadai.

Something simple, functional, with a something distinctive to highlight. Like a flowy jacket, or a scarf. Maybe even a poncho.

And lots of pockets for traps components and explosives. I'm talking 90s comic book antihero levels of pocket-having.

>>42242466
I'll throw out my lazy suggestion again real quick I guess.
Go for that OPERATOR OPERATORS OPERATING OPERATIONALLY look.
Rifle green turtleneck.
Brown flak vest.
Brown pants.
Our newly acquired hat.
Spy movie style pring loaded knife-boot (are boots a thing, or is it all sandles? I never really paid attention to foot wear) coated with the nastiest poison we can get our hands on.
Wool poncho for when it's cold out.

>>42242615
I like this, the problem is that we get a flak vest if we manage to become a Chuunin that we're supposed to wear and it's green.

>>42242620

I think the cape should be some sort of trap or something.

Maybe it has some wire stitched into it that we can use?

>>42242620

"That's right." you say. "Sorry about my friend here. After a while, the low attention span becomes part of his charm. I'm Kon Karargowa, and these are my teammates, Kiba Inuzuka and Sasuke Uchiha. Who might you be?"

"Heh. At least one of you has manners." he laughs to himself. "I'm Kankuro and this is Temari. We're Genin from the Land of Wind. We're here for the Chunin exams, which are no doubt news to your dumb friend there."

"What did you just say?" Kiba barks at Kankuro.

"I said you're an idiot." Kankuro goes on. "Whenever I see punks like you, I just wanna beat the shit out of them."

The girl, Temari, speaks up. "Are you seriously gonna get into a fight over this? Whatever, I'm not involved, okay?"

It might have, but we weren't aware. There were moments when it would have been fitting.

>>42242957
We blew off a guy's head with zero hesitation and no sign of remorse, and >>42242943 has a point. Our QM basically described the squinty, vaguely untrustworthy eyes as running in Kon's family.

So he may not be a nutcase, but there's definitely a case to be made for any politeness in this case to be sarcastic rather than genuine.

>>42243010
>It might have, but we weren't aware.

If it happened then the other people would have reacted accordingly.

But they didn't.

>>42243021

Other ninjas have done similar acts, if not worse ones, and they're not weirdos.

W-Why Serial killer mode anons?

It seems so OOC.

Why make it an IC thing?

Dunno, just feels unnecessary.

>>42243042
>>42243049
Jesus H Christ, it's not like it's too late to add in some character traits.

>>42243042
We are, however, twelve years old. Most Leaf genin aren't in the business of head explosions.

Plus, you and several others seem to be confusing "serial killer grin" for literally meaning he's a serial killer, or that he has that mentality, rather than just being the result of sarcasm and naturally squinty anime eyes.

>>42242957
Thus why I referenced Angel Densetsu. The protagonist is an absurdly nice guy who wouldn't hurt a fly. But he has the misfortune of looking like some kind of superthug, which combined with his terrible shyness scares the SHIT out of everyone around him.

>>42243049
We killed Gato, I don't think it is that OOC as you think.

If we do do the polite threatening thing, I hope we do it Angel Densetsu style like an anon said above.

Kon's totally sincere, but the shifty eyes and creepy smile suggest otherwise.

>>42243067

You step forward and try to diffuse the situation. "You guys shouldn't be doing this here. Talk about manners, do you think it's a good idea to represent your village like this? Picking fights on the street?"

Seeming to ignore you, Kankuro is about to hit Kiba when he's stopped. Sasuke is holding his sword, still in its sheath, up to Kankuro's neck.

"Kon's right." he says. "Save it for the exams if you're so eager."

Kankuro looks like he just gets more pissed off. "That's it!"

He's about to pull something when you all hear a voice. "Step off, Kankuro. You're an embarrassment to our village."

You look and see a boy upside down under a tree branch.

Kankuro immediately recoils. "Gaara!" he cries. "Sorry, you're right, I was completely out of line, totally."

Kankuro turns back to your team. "Sorry guys, you're right. I'm not representing my village very well, let's all meet in the Chunin exams, yeah?"

The boy disappears from his spot and reappears in front of Kankuro and Temari.

"If you try to pull that again Kankuro, I'll kill you." they all turn to leave. "Sorry for the trouble."

"Don't worry about it." you call after him. "Good luck at the exams."

The next day, after waiting for three hours at the designated location, Kakashi Sensei arrives with the news you were all anticipating.

"I've nominated all three of you for the Chunin exams." he tells you. "You've all proven to be incredibly talented, and I have no doubt that you're ready."

I don't think we actually have a chance. If we follow canon, we have no hope of passing the first test other than copying Naruto, which is silly. Stage 2 we'd be OK at. And we'll suck at stage 3 because we have no real skills ourselves.

>>42243373
That's just the part you have to survive. The third section is where pretty much everything about your candidacy for promotion is judged. The whole tournament style arc.

>>42243454
We could try and play it smart. Might win, and besides, we don't wanna keep Sasuke and Kiba from it.

>>42243398
Kon's stats are pretty weak, but not THAT weak. And we could probably write in our only answer as

"Oh yeah!" Kiba shouts as he takes his form. "We're gonna kick ass, right guys?"

Sasuke takes his form. "I'd say we're pretty well equipped, yeah."

You take your form. "I'll participate." you tell your Sensei.

"Good." Kakashi says. "You guys prove you have great teamwork time and time again, so I'm looking forward to it."

On the day of the exam, the three of you arrive at the academy. You see teams 6, 8, and 10 there as well.

In front of the door, there are two guys standing. They seem to have hit Sakura when she tried to pass.

"Don't even bother." one says. "If you can't get past us, you don't have a chance at the exam. Give up and go home."

We can use a fake tag if we need to.

You calmly walk up to the two guys. They expect you to make some kind of statement, but are surprised when you pull an explosive tag and place it on the right guy's shoulder.

The tag is fake, but they don't know that. The right one freaks out and runs off, while the left one just stares incredulously.

Sasuke walks up after you. "Pretty funny Kon, but that wasn't necessary. Your genjutsu sucks, so you wouldn't know, but we're not even on the third floor."

All the other participants look around confused, save for the guy left in front of you. "So you saw through the illusion, huh? Not bad."

He dispels the genjutsu and leaves as all the participants start to head upstairs.

Your team starts to leave as well, when you're stopped.

"Sasuke!" you hear from behind you. It's Lee, now sporting a bowl cut and green jumpsuit. Though he looks far more ridiculous than the last time you saw him, he also looks somehow stronger.

"That was impressive." he states. "You truly were the most talented of all the students at the academy. As the former weakest, I would like to measure myself against you. Would you oblige me with a sparring match?"

Nope, not dealing with this.

We shouldn't be insistent, but we should remind Sasuke we need to get to room 3-1, and we shouldn't fight until the exams actually begin.

>>42243894
C.

>>42243894
Get offended he didn't challenge us.

Then ask him about his new look.

"We kinda have to go now, since the illusion those two guys used wasted some time. You two might be end up fighting in the exams, I bet."

>>42243894
Lee, while that sounds like you'd enjoy it, We'd sue up all our energy for the exams. If you two don't end up facing each other in the exams later, challenge after them, ok?

>>42243894
Encourage them

"Assuming it's the right room, I'll be inside. Try not to get us kicked out before the test even starts, though."

>>42243894
>A. Stop them, there's no point advertising what you're capable of.

Who want's to bet that we will meet Gaara in forest and somehow pull victory off?
After all we have more plot armor than team 7 at whole so it shouldn't be that hard

>>42243997
To be fair, the only genin weaker than us is fucking Choji.

We could probably defeat some of them by "place tag on them and run" technique
It's currently our most powerful one
