Awww yeeeee

Time for some 10/10 threads

>>42763077
Also this.

Not enough changes for me to make a new pastebin yet

I've got it noted down though, it'll show up

As the rain continues to fall, you head back the village, carrying Sasuke. He slipped out of consciousness almost as soon as your two adversaries left, and you were unsure of the extent of his injuries. Taking that and your own state compared to your opponent's in mind, you decided to pull back.

As you travel, you notice Sasuke gripping a Leaf headband. His own is still on his head, so it must be Hinata's.

After several hours of travel, you arrive at the village gates. You're greeted by some members of the medical corps, who take Sasuke.

"You should get checked out too." one recommends. "You look absolutely exhausted."

Before you can even argue, your fatigue catches up to you. Your vision fails as you start to collapse.

When you wake again, you find yourself in a hospital room. It seems to be morning.

Shikamaru is sitting on a chair by the wall. He looks fine, save for his finger in a cast.

"Hey." he greets you. "You must have been tired. You got back with the least injuries of anybody, that's hard work."

>A.Good to see you doing well.

>B.How are the others?

>C.We failed. Hinata got away.

>D.Other

>>42763077
That seems unlikely considering she probably still feels guilty after killing our last teacher. I also don't think it's likely she'll take us as a student. Her student will probably be Tenten after she feels useless from getting beaten by Ukon, whilst we took out three of these dudes.

>>42763188

He's already going to know we failed, no sense dwelling on it.

>>42763188
>"Hinata left with some blonde haired kid with spiky hair. About our age. He seemed familiar. Whiskers on the face...I think his name was Naruto. He was wearing an Akatsuki cloak. Black with red clouds. Someone needs to know."

So, anyone else think we are essentially Minato reborn? We've got a completely unique release that lets us BTFO 90% of ninja even with little training, we've got the best interests of the village at heart, we're a pretty fun guy who's got a great sense of humor, and we're routelocked for a cute af almost tomboy kunoichi who has remarkable skill at sealing.

"How are the others?" you ask.

"Choji was in critical condition for a while, but he's stabilized." Shikamaru responds. "Everyone else has been treated, nothing life threatening. They're making Tenten and Sasuke stay here a bit longer, though."

Shikamaru gets up and starts to leave. "Well, it's good to see you doing okay. Lord Jiraiya will want to talk to you once you get the chance."

Shikamaru leaves without another word. He looks almost depressed.

Feeling refreshed, you get up and get ready to leave.

>A.Go see the Hokage

If we became the Monkey Sage then I'd see it.

Though I still want Tenten to learn the Flying Thunder God instead of us.

Tenten?

Tenten and Sasuke. They're likely to have taken our failure the hardest.

Jiraiya will be there all day.

>>42763411
>B.Go see someone else first
Tenten is the closest to our position so lets go see her

>>42763411
>>B.Go see someone else first
Tenten and Sauce.

>>42763416
>Monkey Sage
so the third said its possible to have two sets of contracts for summons. does this mean we could potentially have have two sage modes active at once?

>>42763411
10/10 and sauce

>>42763411
>B.Go see someone else first
Sasuke

Must be sad.

Check in on Sasuke and Tenten first.

What happened to bro's before hoes? You lot disgust me.

>>42763457
You can summon two different kinds of beasts, but only animal path can do so simultaneously

>>42763474
The rules get borked when the Hoe is also a bro

>>42763457
No. Each form of senjutsu looks different, but it's the same basic process.

>>42763474
Puberty happened

>>42763474
Oh, it's still there, Tenten's just a bigger bro than Sauceman.

>>42763411
>B. Go see Tenten
>C. Leave a note in your room saying you're checking up on Tenten

>>42763474

Tenten is both brofu AND waifu.

>>42763474
>>42763485
Fairly true, Tenten is actually as much if not more of a bro than Sasuke.

You decide to check on our comrades before you go see the Hokage.

You enter Tenten's room to find her sitting up, covered head to toe in bandages.

"Kon, you're okay!" she says before letting the surprise fall off her face. "Of course you are. You're way too strong, you know that?"

Tenten looks out the window. "I couldn't even hold those guys off long enough to help anyone. Good thing I had that technique to get you to save me, huh?" Tenten sighs. "I need some kind of crazy training like you got."

>A.I just got lucky, if it wasn't for my release, I'd have lost easy

>C.Other

>>42763635
>>A.I just got lucky, if it wasn't for my release, I'd have lost easy
>>B.You're plenty strong yourself, those guy's technique just caught you off guard
Though really I still got touched even after your warning. Soo didn't do that good until I used my release. But how ya doin?

>>42763635
>A. I just got lucky, if it wasn't for my release, I'd have lost easy
"Let's be honest here Tenten, kekkei genkai are bullshit."

>>42763635
>>B.You're plenty strong yourself, those guy's technique just caught you off guard
>C. And besides, i did not beat them alone. You summoned me and Kankuro helped. We all won as a team;

>>42763635
>A.I just got lucky, if it wasn't for my release, I'd have lost easy
"Glad you're okay"

>>42763635
>>A.I just got lucky, if it wasn't for my release, I'd have lost easy
Seriously dude caught us in like 5 seconds

>>42763635
>C.Other
"We should train together more often. Having a regular partner might help."

>>42763635
>B.You're plenty strong yourself, those guy's technique just caught you off guard
What about Shino?

>>42763635
>B.You're plenty strong yourself, those guy's technique just caught you off guard.

>>42763670
>implying Kankuro didn't just kill-steal from us.

>>42763635
>C. Honestly, it's my release more than anything. Even unfinished, some of these techniques are probably A rank.

>>42763694
So did Choji, sort-of. He defeat-steal from us.

>B.You're plenty strong yourself, those guy's technique just caught you off guard
>C.Other
"I never asked, but were they hiding within each other? Because they could fuse bodies, and I only remember there being one of them, so did the second just pop out of the other midway through the fight? I think anyone would be surprised by that happening."

>>42763724
You guys actually didn't hurt Kidomaru at all aside from that first shot you did

He was jumping around dodging all your explosions

>>42763635
>>A.I just got lucky, if it wasn't for my release, I'd have lost easy
>>B.You're plenty strong yourself, those guy's technique just caught you off guard
OOC, I'm still really impressed by Shino. He went through, what, three, four fights in a row before he had to drop out? One of them being toe to toe with Kimimaro?

>>42763635
>>A.I just got lucky, if it wasn't for my release, I'd have lost easy

>>42763771
Shino only fought Jirobo and Kimimaro

Still pretty good though

>>42763771
Honestly, Shino was the most competent member of that mission besides us.

>>42763807
That's because Shino is the most competent member of the canon rookies, he just gets almost no screen time. Though in the filler and the movies he gets featured more, and he is an utter badass in those.

>>42763769
So if you don't mind me asking, what about Tayuya. I know there's no reason that THAT fight diverged from canon, so it's a bit of wishful thinking for her to still be alive. Best I got is butterfly effect and maybe having a forest fall on her wasn't *quite* fatal?

Guess if we wanted to ensure it we should've gone ahead instead of dealing with spider-kid.

>>42763857
From what I remember, she had one tree land on her, and the art style made it look like it wasn't even on her that well either. Could be plausible she survived and died due to injuries and possible blood loss later. Maybe.

"You're pretty strong yourself." you assure Tenten. "Those guy's technique just caught you off guard. In fact, I just got lucky. If it wasn't for my release, I probably would have lost. Anyway, I'm glad to see you're doing alright."

"They'll let me out of here in the next couple of days." Tenten tells you. "Then I'm going to start training harder than ever. But enough about me. You should talk to Sasuke. He's probably taking it harder than anyone."

You leave Tenten to rest, and head to Sasuke's room. You find him sitting in silence, staring at the headband in his hand.

>A.You okay?

>B.You tried your best

>C.It's not over yet

>D.Say nothing

>>42763928

Nope, she's as dead as in canon

He's obviously not okay. Let him talk when he's ready.

>>42763928
>C.It's not over yet

>>42763928

NOT B. Fuck that "your best" shit. Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and grow their bloodline.

>>42763928
>>A.You okay?
He's not even close. But venting helps.

>>42763928
>A.You okay?

We probably need to find out more about what happened for our report.

>>42763960
Fighting spider-kid is already the worst mistake in this quest.

>>42763928
>E. You feel it too, don't you?

>>42763928
>>C.It's not over yet

>>42764030
Please, if we went up against genjutsu girl we'd get dropped in seconds. Probably would've took Shika with us.

>>42763968
Maybe leave out that last part, seeing how growing his bloodline would require that he murder us.

>>42764127
>Growing his bloodline means murdering his brother

Actually, since one of the monkey trio can prevent her from speaking (which I'll assume means mute in this case), we might've been able to effectively seal her genjutsu.

"It's not over yet." you tell him. "We'll get another chance."

Sasuke grips the headband tighter. "But I need to be stronger when that time comes. Hinata, and that boy Naruto. They are people who were failed by the village. Their hatred has grown inside of them until it burst out, becoming their power. I don't know how I can get rid of their hatred, but I'm too weak to do anything as I am now."

"We're all too weak. That's why we have teams. To pick us up when we need it, and give us a reason to keep going."
Find somewhere to sit down, if we haven't already.
"What happened out there, if you don't mind me asking?"

>>42764267
>A.Assure him that he will get stronger

We can ask about the Valley later.

"You're not alone." you tell Sasuke. "We all want to bring her back too. Together, we can be strong enough."

"I'm not alone." Sasuke responds. "But Hinata was. All this time, she's been suffering alone in darkness. And when she found her single ray of light, she followed it. And I'm the one who told her to do it. I thought I understood her, what she was going through. I didn't know anything. At the Valley of the End, she told me everything that had happened. I felt like such an idiot. If I had known sooner, then maybe things would be different."

Sasuke looks out the window. "I need some time to think."

You get ready to leave.

This, maybe something about, "You didn't fail her just because you didn't see it in time. Her clan failed her for whatever happened, and the whole village failed her for not noticing. That you didn't see enough doesn't mean you failed her any more than we did, because you still saw more than the rest of us."

"It's never too late, we'll figure something out." you tell Sasuke as you stand in the doorway. "Once you're up, how about training with me? I could always use someone to train with."

"Sure thing." Sasuke responds without looking at you.

You leave and head for the Hokage's office. When you arrive, you find Jiraiya there, along with Neji.

"Kon, I apologize." Neji says as you enter. "I couldn't be there to help you, even though Hyuuga matters should be my responsibility."

"Relax, Neji." the Fifth stops him. "There was nothing you could have done. You'll get your chance. I'll put together a team for tracking down Orochimaru from whatever info Ibiki gets out of our captive. I'll put Yamato in charge, and you'll be on his team. So just get yourself ready until then."

"Now, Kon." the Hokage turns to you. "Give me your report on this mission."

Give them a rundown on the mission as we know it. Start to finish. Injured jonin encounter, splitting up, who fought who, all the way through to meeting blondie.

>>42765038
>"It should have been a complete and utter failure. We still failed, but we learned quite a bit about the enemy and the forces at their disposal, suffered no casualties and only minor injuries save for Choji's severe overexertion, and managed to bring back one of Orochimaru's agents for interrogation. It was a failure, but given what I know now I think it was always going to be. I'm just happy it wasn't worse."

>>42765153
>>42765188
These two, in that order. Good, quick rundown of the mission.

>>42764602
A.
D. We all failed her. We failed naruto. We failed orochimaru. We need to work together to not let this happen again. Stop letting those that need us slip through. And bring hinata home, before it is too late. Before she can't be saved.

"Unforeseen circumstances led to our failure." you tell the Hokage. "There were more enemies than we planned for, and they were all Jonin level. I'm honestly surprised we managed as well as we did."

Even though you're sure Shikamaru has told the Hokage a lot already, you run down the entire mission from start to finish. When you mention the blonde kid who went by Naruto, Jiraiya clenches his fists.

"So it's true, huh?" Jiraiya looks down. "He really is one of them now."

"He seemed familiar."

>>42765246
>>A.Who was he?
Hinata mentioned him by name, Naruto. Considering she knows him I'd assume he is or was a leaf ninja, but I've never heard of him before.

>>42765246
>D. "Sasuke said that Hinata told him of all the things she's had to go through before she left. It might be worth speaking to him for some insight." Try not to look at Neji. Fail. "Additionally, I would like to point out how unfair it is that Sasuke was not given Chunin rank. His skill as a ninja is better than my own. If it's a matter of the number of Chunin the Leaf is allotted, I am willing to trade my place for his. Also, I would recommend Haku be offered Genin status, and a place on Tenten and Shino's squad."

>>42765366
Too long-winded, and WAY overreaches on personnel decisions.

>>42765401
We're making recommendations based on the performance of our comrades. Sasuke deserves to be Chunin and has more than earned it, and Haku has shown a willingness to fight for the ideals the Leaf was founded upon.

>>42765401
Well, the Sasuke and Haku bits could be worded a bit better, but I'd say they're good ideas. Haku could work well with Tenten and Shino, and this Sasuke does seem like Chunin material.

>>42765467

Except you're offering up our Chunin spot on your lonesome and the Third already explained his decisions with who made Chunin and who didn't. And Haku will make his own decision on whether or not to become a ninja again on his own. He's a big boy.

>>42765493
I agree with this anon. I like those two ideas, but none of the wording of this anon.
>>42765366

>>42765467
>>42765493
It's not our job, anons. We're not that important.

We're here to deliver the details of our mission and move on to training for the next fight. Leave the personnel decisions to the Hokage and the Jonin.

>>42765535
Alright fine.
>>42765246
Say that Hinata spoke to Sasuke at the end and recommend he give his report as well, recommend Sasuke be given Chunin status for his performance.

>>42765560
We can make recommendations, at the very least.

>>42765592
No, anon. We really can't. We're not even a Jonin yet, we're not in a position to recommend jack fuck.

So who will be subbing for Hinata? Kon can get some Tenten, Lee, and Guy time!

To-do list from last thread.

>Help Kiba learn his chakra nature, so he can enhance his taijutsu with it
>Pass out in the hospital so that Tenten wakes up to us holding her hand
>Train more with Konohamaru (hang out with Asuma?)
>Develop better Beam Jutsu (Faster usage, more penetrating force, better aim)
>Develop better Shattershot (Spin? More efficient?)
>Develop Feedback so it becomes a Senjutsu, or at least defends us better
>Monkey Sage times
>Learn more about Akatsuki, maybe hunt them down
>Get Chakra Metal weapon (I prefer a small hammer with a spike on one side, it's just got so many uses with our chakra, both the blunt, bone-shattering force and the penetrating force)
>Impact Release Body Flicker
>Learn sealing so that we can make our own damn tags and store more of them
>Git Swole (strength needs an up)

"Who was he?" you ask. "That boy, Naruto. He seemed familiar."

"That boy is Naruto Uzumaki, the son of the Fourth Hokage." the Fifth answers. "He is the Jinchuuriki of the Nine Tailed Fox. He was also a citizen of this village, until he disappeared seven years ago. He was sighted leaving with a masked man wearing a black cloak with red clouds. Sighted by none other than Hinata Hyuuga."

Jiraiya turns in his chair. "The Fourth left it to the village to protect Naruto, but we couldn't. The Third considered it his greatest failure. He never lived it down, and begged me to take his place and serve the village better."

After a long silence, you speak up. "What do we do from here?"

"We'll see what information we can get from our captive and try to track them down." the Hokage answers you. "Though we also have another problem. That organization, Akatsuki. They're capturing jinchuuriki for their own ends. We currently have no way to protect any of the others. We need to improve relations with the other nations if we hope to make a difference. Tell me, Kon. Which would you rather do, given the choice?"

>A.Chase after Orochimaru

>B.Protect the other Jinchuuriki from the Akatsuki

>C.Other

>>42765639
I'm still kind of hoping Kon gets promoted to ANBU specifically to keep doing what he's been doing: which is be on whoever's team needs him at the time.

>>42765668
>>A.Chase after Orochimaru
Definitely sounds like more fun

>>42765668
>>A.Chase after Orochimaru

>>42765668
>B.Protect the other Jinchuuriki from the Akatsuki

>>42765668
>A.Chase after Orochimaru

Solve the problem at the source.

You know, I don't think we've seen Kakashi at all since he brought Sasuke to the chuunin exam finals.

>>42765668
>>A.Chase after Orochimaru

>>42765668
>B.Protect the other Jinchuuriki from the Akatsuki

>>42765668
>B.Protect the other Jinchuuriki from the Akatsuki
this is a chance to save Fu

>>42765668
>B. Protect the other Jinchuuriki from the Akatsuki.

>>42765668
>B.Protect the other Jinchuuriki from the Akatsuki
Let them come to us, and do some world building at the same time

>>42765668
>A.Chase after Orochimaru

>>42765668
>B. Protect the other Jinchuuriki from the Akatsuki

The right thing to do. Duty before revenge

>>42765668
>B.Protect the other Jinchuuriki from the Akatsuki
"If we deal with Akatsuki, eventually we'll end up dealing with that snake-faced freak anyway. I can delay gratification."

>>42765710
Actually you've been on missions with him in the past week, I just neglected to mention him

>>42765668
>B. Protect the other Jinchuuriki from the Akatsuki
This is where we'll be most effective.

>>42765668
>>B.Protect the other Jinchuuriki from the Akatsuki
"Honestly? I'd rather go after the snake. But it's not about me. This is more important."

>>42765668
>B.Protect the other Jinchuuriki from the Akatsuki

>>42765668
>A.Chase after Orochimaru
I'll kill each and every single member of Akatsuki if that's my mission, but Orochimaru. Will. Fall.

>>42765668
>B.Protect the other Jinchuuriki from the Akatsuki
Duty comes first. Orochimaru will get his eventually.

>>42765668
>B.Protect the other Jinchuuriki from the Akatsuki
>C.Other
"Sounds like I'll be running into the snake either way. At least this way I might be able to get there before he can do any damage."

>B.Protect the other Jinchuuriki from the Akatsuki
Time to bro up with jinchuuriki.
Especially after failing Gaara and hinata

>>42765810
Time to meet the wai-Fuu?

>>42765668
>B.Protect the other Jinchuuriki from the Akatsuki
"These 'Akatsuki' aren't fools. If they have a pet Jinchuuriki, they'll likely use him to go after the others. Let them come to us, and we'll have the advantage."

>>42765835
I'm hoping for b-Roshi.

>>42765668
>>B.Protect the other Jinchuuriki from the Akatsuki

>>42765835
Fuu is literally the worst character in Naruto. She is even more worse than Sasuke, Sakura, and Sora combined.

>>42765668
>>B.Protect the other Jinchuuriki from the Akatsuki
We promised the Third we would protect people. We should try to help prevent another situation like his greatest failure.

>>42765835
Yes please
Tenten need some competition after all

>inb4 we failed every jinchuuriki we meet

>>42765668
>>B.Protect the other Jinchuuriki from the Akatsuki

>>42765892
Domino of failure.

But we collect other orphans of rare blood lines.

Haku and Kon have unique techniques. Among the families of konoha we can recruit people like Kon under the Karagowa symbol.

"I would protect the other Jinchuuriki from the Akatsuki." you answer. "They'll come to us. Besides, if I can protect them, I will. I made a promise with the Third."

"Alright then." the Hokage responds, spinning his chair back to face you. "I'll make sure to keep that in mind. I'm going to go talk to Sasuke. I have some special business with him anyway."

The Hokage gets up to leave, while you and Neji do the same. You don't have anything to do for the rest of the day.

Hey, is Tayuya still dead in this line?

Ask Neji about Hinata.
We don't know much about her, may as well learn what we can. Could be useful in future.

>>42766016
>>A.Go see someone
Shino, Shikamaru or Haku.

>>42766016
>A.Go see someone
Grab Konohamaru from whatever he's doing and do some training.

>>42766016
>D. Ask Neji what was up with Hinata. If it's not too personal.

>>42766027
>"Who are you?"

>"Fuuuck, alright do you explode? Freeze? Light shit on fire? Summon fucking monkeys?

>>42766016

Let's get some seals for explosive tags, we should have the money, and I'm tired of running out of tags.

>>42766016
>A. Go see Haku

>>42766069
>Yes
>...fuck

>>42766071
might be good to learn to make our own

>>42766016
Go see uncle?
Or Kiba/Kakashi, We never visit Them y'know.
Team/family first

>>42766069
Wait, if our kid had babies with Haku/Ino's kid, would the baby have a Tottei Genkai?

>>42766122
We must do this.

>>42766016
>A.Go see someone
Shino

>>42766069
The Karagowa district in the leaf village is best know for their impromptu fireworks display, each display denoting either a successful graduation or a failing class, one can never be too sure.

>>42766016
>Go see Uncle
>Hug him

Should we buy a staff?
Train for summoning Enma.

Training impact with knife on a rope, impact tags, impact on fires...

Impact swoooord

Impact Staff though. Combine that with adamant staff?

Oh yeah.

Sasuke needs Neji and Itachi training.
Kon needs Tsunade, Jiraiya and assortment of friends.

Here's an idea. Base a impact jutsu inspired by the style of allies. Possible combo and support moved.

>>42766016
>>A. Go see Haku
and ask neji about hinata

>>42766238
No we shouldn't buy a fucking staff. We should buy a fucking hammer.

>>42766164
It's Kekkei Tota.

>>42766278
oh go shove your head up your arse. Hammers are not a thing here.

>>42766319
Well, we can make it a thing.

>>42766278
>muh hammer
Have you ever heard the phase "train as you fight"? We should use a staff so that when we reach the point where we CAN summon Enma and wield him, we actually have some degree of skill at doing so, rather than having a really powerful weapon that we have ZERO skill with because we were too busy trying to use your special snowflake hammer.

>>42766278
how about a staff with a hammerhead or weight at one of the ends?

Also
>Not training with a staff for when we use enma staff mode
Are you fucking serious?

>>42766278
Jesus dude, drop it with the fucking hammer. Besides, once we learn sealing we'll have a goddamn ARMORY on us at all times.

>>42766016
>>42766047
This. This is good.

A butterfly sword would be good. Broad enough to use as a shield with Impact Release and to write sealing formulas on, short enough to be maneuverable, light. In Wing Chun it's also considered the basis for all other weapons training because it's treated as an extension of empty-handed combat.

It's a good weapon to learn.

>>42766324
Can we call it Stormbreaker?

>>42766346
Exploding/Impact + Unlimited Blade Works/Gate of Babylon?

That's going to be frickin' awesome.

>>42766404

Let's not name it ourselves and let the situation name it.

Like how Kakashi gave one of his jutsu the name Lightning Cutter.

>>42766413
Dammit. Just, pop the seals, and use chakra strings to have the weapons float in a literal wall behind you and fire them off rapidly.

>>42766047

>>42766254

"Neji, do you mind telling me about Hinata?" you ask. "Sasuke told me that she was suffering this whole time."

"I can see what led to this happening." Neji responds. "I played my part in it. Until recently, I held quite a bit of animosity for the main branch of the Hyuuga Clan. I'm sure my attitude towards Lady Hinata did its share of damage. She had recieved no better treatment from her father. He considered her weak, and had her replaced by her younger sister as the clan heir. Her confidence must have been nonexistent. Perhaps I could have helped her, but for now, I have my own duty to the village. Excuse me."

Neji leaves, and you decide to go see how Haku is faring.

You arrive at the Yamanaka flower shop to find Haku sitting, being doted on by Ino. He has some bandages on, but otherwise looks alright.

"Kon, you're okay." he smiles as you approach. "That's wonderful. What brings you here?"

>>42766491
>>42766503

>>42766440
>D. Wanna experiment with our unique releases and make something never seen before?

>>42766555
Thus Orochimaru Jr. was born.

>>42766598
Is Haku the mother or the father?

>>42766555
Whoa there...
We need to as him to dinner first

>>42766466

>>42766508
>>42766512
>>42766521
>>42766524

"I'm checking on everyone." you say. "How are you doing?"

"I'm doing alright." Haku replies. "My wounds will heal in time. I'm just glad I could help all of you. I heard the mission ended in failure, but as long as everyone survived, then I think that's well enough."

"Thanks for your help." you tell Haku. "But what made you decide to help us?"

"With the time I've spent here, I've grown to care about this village." Haku looks down. "That man I fought, Kimimaro. He was like I used to be, his purpose tied to a single person. It was like seeing a reflection of my old self. But now, I live for more than that. There are so many people who I can help, who rely on me. The more people I am useful to, the greater my place in this world. So, if any of you ever need my help, I will come to your aid. It is my new purpose."

>>42766916

"That's great, Haku." you reply. "Are you going to become a Leaf shinobi?"

"I think I will." Haku answers. "I think it's the way I can help the most people."

"My dad is probably the one to go to for that." Ino says. "He's in charge of looking after you, so he should be able to talk to the Hokage about letting you officially become a ninja here."

After talking a bit longer, you say goodbye to Ino and Haku and head off. It's around lunchtime, and you're getting hungry. Before you go check on anyone else, you head home to see your uncle, and get lunch in the process.

When you arrive, your uncle quickly gets you a seat and some food. He sits and addresses you as you eat.

"You're looking good, Kon!" he says with his usual smile. "How'd the urgent mission go?"

>A.Tell him everything

>B.Leave something out

>C.Just tell him you failed

>D.Other

>>42767149
>A.Tell him everything

>>42767149
>B.Leave something out
"Did pretty good all things considerated, but it wasn't enough..."

>>42767149
>A.Tell him everything
"Well, we failed the main objective, but we killed some of Orochimaru's best agents, captured one of them for interrogation, and suffered no serious injuries. So, you know, could have been worse."

>>42767149
>B.Leave something out
Leave out anything that would be considered sensitive. He's a civilian, he's not supposed to know everything.

>>42767149
>B. "Well..it was a failure, but nobody died." Try to put on a brave face for him.

>>42767196
Exactly. Just give the broadest of general statements. "We failed, nobody died, will have to train harder for next time."

>>42767149
>C.Just tell him you failed
"We failed, but in the best way possible. Everyone lived."

>>42767149
>>B.Leave something out
"Could've gone better, but nobody died, and we brought back valuable intel. Not sure how much I'm allowed to talk about."

>>42767149

>A.Tell him everything
Ask his advice from a non ninja stand point.
Also he should get to meet the monkeys!
And we can feed the monkeys!
It'd be cute!

We need to travel to the Shrine of the Silver Monkey or wherever the monkey clan lives and learn Sage techniques over the two years.

>>42767422
I hope we meet King Kong size guys, a variety of monkey nin that are basically monkey versions of our village.

>Stop monkey ninja hinata from leaving with evil monkey fox

>>42767179
>>42767196
>>42767209
>>42767261

"Well, we failed." you admit. "Nobody died, though, so that's good. We'll just have to train harder for next time."

"You know, Kon." your uncle tells you. "When your mother was younger, I was always worrying about her. I had no idea whether she was ever going to come back from one of her missions. I worry the same about you. But what I know beyond a shadow of a doubt, is that you'll always make sure your friends are taken care of. I'm always relieved when you come home safe, but when you do, I know your teammates are too. You're just perfect for this ninja thing. Your mother was the same way."

You finish eating and get up as your uncle goes back to work.

We've already seen everyone of interest

>>42767422
It would probably be the Mount Kakazan, if we're going with the Monkey King imagery. We know that place exists in the world of Naruto, the Four-Tails (who is named after the Monkey King) mentions it at one point during his boasting.

>>42767564
>C.Go somewhere
Train. Never stop training.

guy do we have a description of how we look I cant seem to find one? I wanna try to sketch up a pic of Kon, theres an attempt in the drawfriend thread but im betting its nothing like what we all imagine. So maybe once the thread is over we could brainstorm?

>>42767564
>D. Spend the evening helping Uncle around the Kitchen. And maybe learn something about not being such a shit cook. And maybe also prepare some meals to bring to your friends in lieu of godawful hospital food tomorrow.

>>42767603

You swing by Shino's house and see him.

He insists that he's fine, but is busy with something bug related, due to the amount that he lost during the mission.

You leave him to it, and head to the village gate. There, you find Kankuro and Temari, talking with Shikamaru.

"What's up, Kon?" Shikamaru says, turning to you. "You checking in with everybody?"

>A.Ask how he's taking it

>B.Ask the sand siblings something

>>42767942
>>42767969

Yeah I feel like I should, you alright man? It was a rough on but I think we did very well considering, your a good team leader. *turn to the sand siblings* Thanks for the support in all this you guys alright yourselves, we've all had a pretty hectic month or so?

So are we going to actually do something in this thread?

>>42768309
your mom

>>42767867
I'm not worried about confusing him with the Dragonball character. I just don't want to debase the name of the Great Sage Equal To Heaven by using it to describe someone weak enough to be enslaved by Iwa ninjas. Anyone who dares to call themself Son Goku or Sun Wukong should be so strong that only the Buddha himself can confine them.

>>42768309
Hey, I suggested chilling with Uncle all evening. Anons thought that was a shit idea.

"Yeah, I have." you answer. "How are you taking it?"

Shikamaru sighs. "Failure is never easy. But all I can do is pick myself back up and do better next time."

You turn to Kankuro and Temari.

"Thanks for your help, too." you say. "How have you two been?"

"Don't mention it, I just hope there are no hard feelings." Kankuro replies. "We've been recovering. In fact, we're hoping to work closely with the Leaf in the future, to take on the Akatsuki. Our father isn't exactly enthusiastic about the idea, but I'm hoping we can convince him. You think you could put in a word for us, so we can work together in the future?"

He's a character based on a chinese story in a manga made by a Japanese guy. Of course the ninjas would subjugate him.

>>42768393

I'll admit, I kek'd. And it's true. But I don't think we should actually say it.

You have my word. We'll take Akatsuki down.

"I'll see what I can do." you reply. "I don't really have any pull, but I'd love to team up again."

Kankuro extends his hand and you shake it.

"That'll be enough." he says. "You guys are going to lead your village some day, just as we are ours. You have more influence than you think."

The two of them say goodbye and leave, leaving you with Shikamaru.

"Can you believe what he said, Kon?" Shikamaru asks. "Me, a leader of the village? Just a while ago I'd have laughed it off, but now I don't know."

Shikamaru tells you goodbye and heads home. It's getting late, and the sun is about to set.

Konohamaru!

We gotta look after him.
Dying ninja gramps told us.

>>42768655
>>B.Go somewhere else
Go see Choji.
We've seen everybody else short of those two jonin we spoke to for two minutes.

I'm actually kind of curious, what would be the basic requirements for learning Senjutsu? I know Jonin-level stamina is one, and with our chakra control it should be easier. But I don't think it was ever explained in any real detail.
