TIME FOR TRAINING TRIP WITH BEST SENSEI!

>>42606036

Check the pastebin, 'cause I think some of Kon's stuff got updated.

Other people got added & updated, too, I think.

Reminder we should talk to 10/10 Kiba and Sasuke before we leave. And make sure Kiba and Sauce man are alright and not hurt too bad

>>42606075
I second this, but add Lee to this list. See if he's awake now. We kind of busted up his arm pretty bad.

After an uneventful first two days of travel, you and your two companions arrive at a bustling town.

Looking down on it from the cliff, Sarutobi Sensei addresses you and his grandson.

"I know you two are probably anxious to begin your training." the Third starts. "But I need to spend at least a few days gathering information first, so we know where to look. This town is having a festival for the next few days, so why don't you two enjoy yourselves for a bit before we start your training?"

Konohamaru starts pouting. "Some training journey this is."

>A.Come on Konohamaru, it'll be fun

>B.We can help you get information, Sensei

>C.Let's train on our own, Konohamaru

>D.Other

>>42606057
Tenten and Kakashi got added, Sasuke and Kiba got updated. Sasuke appears to be weaker overall than he was in canon at this point, Tenten seems to be about the same.

>>42606075
>>42606086

They're unconscious.

>>42606088

>A.Come on Konohamaru, it'll be fun

>>42606106

I know. I read the pastebin when he posted the link on Twitter.

>>42606088
>D. "Well, I can probably help you train your chakra control. You need to get that down to do the really cool stuff anyways. I'm gonna work on something else myself while you do that."

>>42606088
>A.Come on Konohamaru, it'll be fun
>D.Other
"You're going to complain about getting to go to a festival?"

>>42606088
>C.
Maybe we can teach him some stuff we've learned?

>>42606088
>B.We can help you get information, Sensei

We're a Chunin we should be able to help gather info

>>42606017
Okay, so, things to practice while we move. Make your vote for what you want:

>Sonar Stepping
>Summoning Monkeys (or gambling bears, or sociopathic llamas with hats)
>Finger Gun.

What do?

Oh, and for those who didn't stick around: We settled on Shattershot for the shockwave blast through the air, and Feedback for the reactive blast of chakra that fucked up Lee's arm. We still need one for the physical blow that gets enhanced with Impact chakra.

We came up with

>Thunderfist Style Taijutsu
>Thunder God's Drum
>Fist of the North Stay

>>42606106
Actually the databook 2 stats were for the end of part 1, you're not that far in time yet.

>>42606129
Seconding this. Perhaps while we do this we'll key into some way to make some techniques easier to use. Maybe even improve them through some insight we gain.

>>42606088
>>C.Let's train on our own, Konohamaru
We might not get much benefit, but we can probably help Konohamaru improve his basics.

>>42606157
Fist of the North Star*

>>42606088
>A.Come on Konohamaru, it'll be fun

>>42606088
>A.Come on Konohamaru, it'll be fun
Also,
>C.Let's train on our own, Konohamaru
We don't really NEED to have Third actively training us to get better. Shit like practicing hand seals and chakra distribution shouldn't be hard at all, and lays the groundwork for fancier techniques.

We should try alternating between running through the basic hand seals and quickly focusing our chakra in specific spots whenever we've got a free moment. After seeing what Sasuke did to the tree he was climbing by forcing too much chakra into his feet, it should be obvious that doing that on purpose could be useful (see also: how Sakura got swole in canon).

>>42606088
>>C.Let's train on our own, Konohamaru

>>42606157
>>42606178

No. I suggested Fist of the North Star for when Kon can actually send enough vibrations in people with his punches to blow them up.

Not for the simple enhanced punch.

>>42606195
>We'll show up at Granny Tsunade's with her own technique already figured out and enhanced with our own Kekkei Genkai.

>>42606157
Fist of the North Star was people dicking around, and you combined several of the "options": Thunderstrike, Thunder God Fist, and Thunder Drum.

Also what you suggested we practice are all complicated techniques. We should use "spare time" for basics like hand seals and chakra control exercises, and let the Third help us with the complicated stuff.

>>42606157
I thought we were going go with Thunderstruck and gonno go with the rock n roll theme from now on

>>42606252
That was a joke, anon. Rock and roll doesn't even exist in the setting, otherwise one of the Sound genin would have been Doof Warrior.

Would've made the arc so much better.

>>42606088
>A.Come on Konohamaru, it'll be fun

>>42606252
>and gonno go with the rock n roll theme from now on

No.

That was a series of jokes.

>>42606247
>Fist of the North Star was people dicking around

That was my serious suggestion for a future technique that Kon might be able to use.

Not for the simple punch.

I prefer something without the name "thunder" in it, 'cause that makes it seem like lightning would be attached, and it's not.

Not yet, anyway.

>>42606247
Aye, we need to level up our stats some. We're only 2.5 points total behind Sasuke, I want to see if we can bridge the gap before he gets out of the hospital.

>>42606157
Can we not make our attacks references to things that don't even exist IC?

>>42606315
Well, lightning is sort of attached, I figure that's what gives the paralytic effect. But it's not the main focus of the release.

>>42606282
>Rock and roll doesn't even exist in the setting
Not sure if thats true, but if it is then this is a travesty that must be rectified.

>>42606328
I don't know, it works fine for Kakuzu. All his technique names are Gundam references, and they definitely don't have that in the world of Naruto.

>>42606340
>I figure that's what gives the paralytic effect.

That's most likely the vibrations messing with people's nerves or bones.

Like when you hit your elbow on something and it feels really weird.

You could be right though. I'm just not sure which it is.

>>42606282
I dunno, if Killer B can constantly rap, I imagine Rock and Roll exist. Not to mention there's Films and Cinemas.

>>42606412
So we can basically do what Tsunade did to Kabuto in this arc?

"Come on Konohamaru, it'll be fun." you insist.

The three of you make your way into town to see all kinds of stalls lined up.

"I'll be taking my leave then." Sarutobi Sensei tells you. "You two have fun, I'll meet up with you later this evening."

The Third walks away and approaches some young women. "Excuse me, would you ladies mind helping an old man out?"

Meanwhile, you and Konohamaru hit a bunch of stalls, playing games and eating snacks. It takes Konohamaru a bit too get into it, but after a while he's having the time of his life.

Later in the evening, you two are munching on some okonomiyaki, waiting for your teacher to show his face again.

>A.Talk to Konohamaru about something

>B.Eat in silence

>>42606433

And I'm pretty sure most people he meets think there's something wrong with him because of it.

>>42606454
Oh yeah, we should definitely see if we can convince her to teach us that, an electric technique that messes up peoples' coordination is right up our alley. Though really, if we convince her to train anyone it should be Tenten.

>>42606478
>A.Talk to Konohamaru about something
Ask him why he wants to get stronger so badly.
>C.Other
Play a game with him. We make hand seals in quick succession, he has to copy them. Take turns being the "leader".

>>42606478
>A.Talk to Konohamaru about something
Ask him about his life, what sort of things he enjoys, things like that. We're friendly with Konohamaru but we don't actually know too much about him. Tell him about ourselves, too. Use this time for some general bonding.

>>42606433

Rap is just beat poetry.

Though you have a point for the other stuff.

(Not that anon)

>>42606454

I don't think I've read or seen that part.

>>42606478
Fancy a little bit of a spar?

Obviously we wont go full on with him, but it'll help stretch our bodies a bit and prepare for the upcoming training

>>42606478

What kind of ninja he wants to be. His aspirations and talents.

>>42606490
She seems to be going down the yellow flash route really.

>>42606157
>Sonar Stepping
It's called "Good Vibrations", dammit!
Let me have my Beach Boys reference!
Also, we need to figure out a move we can call "Hammer to Fall."

>>42606530
>I don't think I've read or seen that part.
She hits him with a low-power, high-control lightning jutsu that messes up his nervous system. It's basically that thing that some annoying video game enemies do where they mess with your controller. He'd try to move his arm and his leg would respond, turn his head and he'd clench his hand, stuff like that. He managed to cure it after a bit of concentration, but it was still pretty cool.

>>42606571
Yeah, I know, but Tsunade is her hero. We need to at least introduce them. And hey, Tsunade's pretty good with seals herself, I'm sure she could teach Tenten something. Not to mention that Tsunade's strength training combined with Tenten's accuracy would be utterly terrifying. She'd be a living railgun, pretty much.

True. Just had a hard time imagining making seals being a game.

You're friendly with Konohamaru, but you don't really know him that well, so you decide to strike up a conversation while you eat.

"So why do you want to get stronger so badly, Konohamaru?" you ask. "Is there something you really want to achieve?"

"I want to become the Hokage, like my grandpa was." he answers. "He retired around the time I was born, so he's always been there for me, but he often talks about being the Hokage."

Konohamaru stops eating and looks down. "I don't know what happened, but he feels like he let the village down. I can't imagine it. He's such a great teacher and he cares so much about other people. How could he have been a bad Hokage?"

Konohamaru then stands up, his fist forward. "That's why I'll follow in his footsteps and become Hokage! If he feels like he made some mistakes, I just have to fix them! But for that I need to be stronger. That's why I'm always training."

>A.Ask him about his training

>>42606860
>C.Invite him to train
Hand seals, back and forth. At this point we need to practice them as much as he does, and it's easy enough to do without causing too much of a fuss.

Also my Captcha just had a cake that looks like Mario's face.

Try and copy my hand seals. I'll be doing them as quickly as I can. Then you do one and I copy you.

"You're a good kid, Konohamaru."

So, in canon, Haku is actually regarded as more effeminate than most girls. Some of the off-canon shit even has the other girls coming to him for beauty/fashion advice.

Is Haku still such best trap in this setting?

>>42606893

>>42606921
>>42606964
>>42606967
>>42607001
>>42607051

"So how is your training going?" you ask.

"I'm super advanced thanks to grandpa's training." Konohamaru answers. "I'm not even in the academy yet, and I could probably pass the graduation exam."

You figure that's roughly at genin level, so you invite him to train a bit while you wait. Making a bit of a game out of it, you take turns making hand signs and copying them as fast as possible. The kid wasn't lying, as his hand signs are as good as yours.

Eventually Sarutobi Sensei shows up, just before the sun finishes setting.

"Did you two have fun today?" he asks.

>A.Did you?

>B.Can we start training tomorrow?

>C.We did

>>42607191

Comment on how it looks kinda like Enma

>>42607191
So can we make the hand seals game a regular thing? Like in the evening when we're winding down anyway, just do that while we're chatting?

So, we've confirmed no GaaraxNaruto?

>>42607459
Be careful, anon.
If our fingers get too nimble, Best Girl won't let us keep them to ourself.

It just occurred to me that at the rate we're going, we may actually end up as Konohamaru's Jounin instructor.

>>42607509
You say that like it's somehow a bad thing.

>>42607419
How could we comment on that when we've never seen Enma? Though I guess Sarutobi could comment on it himself and muse about how he needs to show Enma next time they meet for tea. That would be funny.

>>42607502
Well, they could hook up in the afterlife, I suppose. Since they're both dead.

>>42607529

This Jinhuriki is no more. It has ceased to be. It's expired and gone to meet its maker. This is a late parrot. It's a stiff. Bereft of life, it rests in peace. If you hadn't nailed it to the perch, it would be pushing up the daisies. It's rung down the curtain and joined the choir invisible. This is an ex-Jinchuriki!

>>42607529

I doubt we'd be that quick for a Jounin promotion, but that'd be cool if it were the case.

>>42607573

I hope his team will be those kids.

We can make it so that they're very well trained and are only shit in appearance.

"We did." you say, as Konohamaru holds up the monkey plushie he won at a stand.

"How about you, Sensei?" you say with a grin. "Find any information?"

"It may take a few more days to dig something up." the Third replies.

"If we're going to be sticking around for a bit, then can we start training tomorrow?" you inquire, trying not to sound too anxious.

"I guess I could start you boys on something." your teacher relents. "Then you can train through the day while I gather information."

The three of you head back to your hotel room, and get some sleep. You're all up early, back on the cliff overlooking the town.

"Now then." Sarutobi Sensei starts. "What is it that you boys wanted to learn?"

Hand seals, genjutsu, or strength.

>>42607653
I'd like to learn a Lightning jutsu so that we have a good grasp of both components of our bloodline. Gives us a bit more flexibility and might make us better at using the combined nature. Aside from that, I'd also like to work on our hand signs and our overall efficiency so that we can use jutsu more easily and often.

>>42607653
Seals, so we don't run out of supplies.

>>42607715

Hand seals or strength training. We could stand to be a lot stronger, physically.
I would suggest genjutsu, but I think we'd need his assistance for that.

>>42607735
Genjutsu is a waste of our time. We won't get it strong enough to use against a Jonin or Akatsuki, so simply being able to dispel it is fine. Strength can be offset by our chakra control, same as Sasuke busting up trees and canon Sakura's ENTIRE shtick.

Ninjutsu, that's where it's at. It augments our strength, our taijutsu, and gives us more tricks to create openings for Impact release or shitloads of bombs. That's how we level the playing field.

a lightning jutsu or summoning. See what animal we are close to.

>>42607856

Sarutobi expressed interest when we brought it up
The monkeys seem well versed in ninjutsu if Sarutobi's is anything to go by, plus it opens the gate to nature chakra shenanigans later on

>>42607962
It is when every enemy worth using it on from here on out is gonna have a 4 or a 5 in it.

Genjutsu isn't a particular strength for our character. Our time would be wasted trying to change that when we could be improving other skills to a high enough level to be worth using.

>>42607962
Except we aren't the genjutsu type of trap user.

In fact, that's the kind of trap user people expect.

We're like a dual-sided lightsaber user. Not necessarily the most effective, but noone knows how to deal with our bullshit.

Do you want the best option or not? Because having magic monkeys teaching us ninjutsu would probably be the best case scenario.

And since people seem to have a massive hardon for the technique, I at least want to get the ninjutsu monkeys out of the deal if that's the winning choice.

"I need to train my strength, genjutsu and hand seals." you say.

The Third responds bluntly. "I won't be here with you, so it'd really be no more effective than if you trained on your own."

You think a bit more. "Well then, maybe a lightning jutsu or summoning."

Konohamaru interrupts. "Yes! Summoning! I want to learn to summon monkeys like you, grandpa!"

Sarutobi Sensei sighs. "I suppose you could at least form the contract. What about you, Kon? Do you also want to learn my summon technique?"

>>42608273
I totally agree. I'm just voting monkeys in the hopes that said monkeys can teach us ninja things when Sarutobi's not around.

Because like it or not, we seem to be getting summoning.

>>42608116
>B.I want to summon something else
I don't know, feels kind of presumptuous to just learn Sarutobi's contract. That feels like it's something important to pass down. And while he likes us, I just don't feel like we have the sort of relationship where we can ask for that. Yet, anyway.

>>42608116
Laze
With all these "i wanna summon something else" can they not just straight rule out monkeys? Like if a specific summon option gets more than monkeys okay but otherwise it'll just be a shit show

>A.I want to learn it
Summon an army to replace shadow clone jutsu for us

Much as I like the idea, monkeys are his family contract. It wouldn't feel right to accept.

>>42608322
We're basically Naruto in this setting, anon. We're the child of one of Jiraiya's students that survived the shitshow when Kurama attacked, who has unusually high potential and multiple links to important people.

And given what little we know about how things played out that night in this universe, he probably feels responsible for Kon to some degree.

GUYS!

so? there are 3 snake summoners, 2 frog, and 2 slug in canon

>>42608380
The originals took the sanins
And nobody other than sarutobi has been shown using it so it doesnt seem like a family thing to me

>>42608380
He's OFFERING. This pretty much implies he's either thought it through and doesn't mind, or that he actually wants us to learn it.

>>42608419
Pain mind-controls the summons of his individual bodies, anon. That's why they all have Rinnegan and chakra receptors shoved into them.

Anything Pain summons in canon is probably off-limits.

Honestly the idea of summoning a temp tutor in the form of sarutobi's monkey summon seems like a really good idea for us

>>42608433
No offense anon, but that is a very un-Japanese mindset. They'll offer you the world there, partially because they don't expect you to accept.

"I want to learn it." you say. "Though, if I form a contract with the monkeys, does that mean I can only summon monkeys?"

"It is possible to form two contracts, and summon the creatures for one with each hand." the Third answers. "To keep things simple for now, I'll just have you both sign my contract."

Sarutobi Sensei bites his thumb to draw blood, then forms some hand signs and places his palm on the ground. "Summoning Jutsu!"

In a cloud of smoke, appears a large monkey dressed in a tiger pelt, and wearing a Leaf headband. The monkey is holding a large scroll.

The monkey turns to the Third and speaks. "So you're actually passing down the contract, eh Sarutobi? Who are these kids, anyway?"

This isn't a "Japanese" mindset, it's a student-teacher relationship. It's more like old-school kenjutsu or kobudo than modern Japanese etiquette.

Completely different system of rules, interactions, and considerations.

>A.Say something
"Hello, sir. I am Kon Karagowa, and this is Sarutobi-sensei's grandson, Konohamaru.

>>42608792
Honestly as someone really against swords, im okay with a staff

>>42608792
Polearms always > Swords.

>>42608792

If Tenten gets really good at building and modifying weapons, we could have a sword extension or sword/spear shooter in our staff at the press of a button.

>>42608824
Or, you know, a staff that transforms into a three-section cane. I love the three-section cane.

>>42608824
Use our impact release as a makeshift gunpowder

>>42608820
Legitimately grade-A opinion anon, you have my support

So now that Best Monkey is our contract, there are a few more good ideas to pursue:
>chakra control to enhance striking power (like Sakura)
>Shadow Clones and related hijinks
>Shuriken Shadow Clone
>Sealing, both for weapons/bombs and large reserves of Impact release chakra

>>42608824
I'd rather do the Adamantine Staff Transformation with one of our summons. That thing is awesome. Hard as diamond, able to shift its mass and size, flies through the air under the direction of the monkey that formed it, and it can split and divide without limit. It's a really strong weapon, even if we're not going to be using it all the time due to needing a fairly powerful summon to support it.

>>42608824
>>42608848
Not if our "staff" is actually Enma.

>>42608820
Naginata is the katana of polearms.

We should get that!

>>42608948

We can get more than one staff.

You know, Enma is the name of the guy who rules Hell in Shinto.

I wonder if he's met Gaara... Shinto Hell also has the person sent there work off the years they earned. Considering everything, how long would Gaara have to work it off?

"I'm Kon Karagowa, Sarutobi Sensei's student." you introduce yourself as you give a respectful bow.

Next to you, Konohamaru does the same.

"I can't say I agree with teaching the summoning technique to two children, but I will respect Sarutobi's decision." the monkey tells you. "I am the monkey king, Enma."

Enma lays the scroll before you and Konohamaru and rolls it out. He points to the two next empty columns.

"Sign your names here, in your blood." Enma directs. "With that, the contract will be formed."

You and Konohamaru do as you're told, then Enma rolls up the scroll and disappears in a puff of smoke.

"Alright!" Konohamaru shouts. "I'm gonna try it right now! Summoning Jutsu!"

Konohamaru performs all the correct steps, but what appears in a puff of smoke is not what he expected.

A baby monkey rocks back and forth with eyes wide, while Konohamaru just looks in bewilderment.

After being stunned for a moment by the baby monkey's cuteness, you decide to give it a try yourself.

You bite your thumb, then form the hand signs and place your palm on the ground. "Summoning Jutsu!"

In a puff of smoke appears what seems to be a completely normal monkey, with nothing special about it at all.

It feels somehow underwhelming.

Sarutobi Sensei just laughs as you and Konohamaru's summoning attempts disappear.

"Don't worry, you two." your teacher encourages. "The Summoning Jutsu takes many long hours of practice, perfoming it countless times. It will come to you. For now, I must go."

Before leaving, the Third comes over to you.

"Keep a close eye on Konohamaru, would you?" he asks. "He just doesn't have the chakra for a proper summon yet, but he'll likely keep trying until he passes out."

With that, your teacher leaves. As he expected, Konohamaru continues to attempt summoning.

We could learn to absorb all the impact from our footsteps, thus leaving literally no mark upon the ground we walk.

No footprints running across sand or snow or even through grass.

Untrackable except by scent.

>>42609740
I really like the 3 monkeys idea

>>42609840
That would be cool, yeah. Would take more control than we currently have, but would be a neat trick. Shame Gaara's too dead for us to use that against him, though, since he can detect footsteps and it would be neat to sneak up on him that way.

>>42609872
No sound either, except by the sound of us moving in the wind.

You spend the next several days practicing summoning along with Konohamaru, who you watch closely to make sure he doesn't overexert himself.

To his annoyance, Konohamaru makes little progress, but after about a week, you manage to make a true summon.

Before you lies a monkey wearing several masks all over its body. It picks its nose as it talks to you.

I imagine them being like the Two Great Sage Toads.

They'd hang out on our shoulder/Head. Each one covering what they represent on Kon or something but we still kick ass because they trained us to fight blind, deaf and mute.

>>42610284
>but we still kick ass because they trained us to fight blind, deaf and mute.

Kon becomes Daredevil?

>>42610007
"Saru" just means "monkey" and is probably a common prefix for the monkey summons like how "Gama" is for the toads. Jizo, though, that's a pretty badass name. Jizo is the boddhisatva of hell, who descended to preach compassion and enlightenment to devils. He's also the guardian deity of children, saving those lost souls who died before their parents from having to labor eternally on the shores of the Sanzu River. So yeah, let's hope he's as cool as his namesake

>>42610007
>>42610118
I'll second this.

Seems like a cool concept. Perhaps mix it with the sonar footstep thing that was mentioned earlier? Fight like Toph?

Forgot to also reference the Faceless Men.

"Nice to meet you, Sarujizo. I'm Kon Karagowa." you introduce yourself as you offer the monkey some dried fruit. "I'm new to summoning and was just practicing, so you can leave if you don't want to stick around. Though, could you tell me what those masks are for?"

"A newbie, huh? Figures." Sarujizo says as he munches on the fruit. He takes one of the masks and places it over his face, transforming into a copy of you. "They call me the imitating monkey. I put on a mask, and take the form of someone or something I've seen. So if you ever think you need that, feel free to summon me again. Later."

With that, Sarujizo disappears in a puff of smoke. Having seen your success, Konohamaru is now trying even harder to summon.

why? It's a good, original (most importantly) concept that has it's roots in ancient times, like so many of these techniques and names, actually might work in theory if you handwavium the superhuman bit and the talking monkeys and is welcomed by the majority

>>42610784
I like the idea. Maybe not ask at once, but training one at a time might work out, then we eventually start to use them all together to get more out of training

>>42610487
Huh.
There names are Mizaru, see no evil.
Kikazaru, hear no evil and Iwazaru, speak no evil.

They are mystic apes too.

There's even a fourth monkey called Shizaru. Who is do no evil (Crosses arms or covers genitals. Ha!)

It's not good, and it's up to the QM to design elements like NPCs. Not the players.

You're taking an idea YOU think is "cool" and treating it like it's not only possible, but almost as it it's a sure thing.

Let's try that out at a later time.

Like before the Jounin test.

I agree, but I also think we should try and be creative with our powers. Experiment and see waht we are and aren't capable of.

>>42610934
I never did that at all. I was a guy off to the side who had been just watching and liked the idea and decided to chip in when you spoke out against it. Don't misconstrue me, anon.

Also, as a QM myself, taking good ideas from the player base is a very viable and often beneficial idea.

Just trying to contribute. You got anything?

We're not expecting it to happen. Just kicking ideas around.

>>42610934
You're taking an ideal you think is "uncool" and treating it like it's not only unlikely, but just simply never going to happen.

It's sensory deprivation face monkeys. What about that doesn't sound like utter shit to you?

No, because it's not my fucking business to make up our summons. Hell, I didn't even want to keep working on summoning, I wanted to work on applying our chakra control to boost our taijutsu and make our ninjutsu more efficient.

You decide to put summoning aside for now and practice your release. You practice using your release more efficiently with hand signs, and focusing it in your body. After a couple of weeks, imbuing your strikes with Impact chakra is absurdly easy, and you start to practice imbuing weapons with it as well.

Konohamaru continues to practice summoning exclusively, and makes little progress. His stamina however, seems to be increasing by leaps and bounds.

One day during your training, Sarutobi Sensei comes up to you.

"We have a lead on Tsunade." he says. "We're headed to Tanzaku Town."

The three of you set back on the road.

>B.Ask for training advice

>C.Try to train on the go

>A.Ask about something as you walk
So Why is Tsunade so important?

Second.
