The castle of ice shakes violently as electricity crackles. You can practically feel the chakra emanating off of Yosuke as he gathers his strength. Remembering how he had fought before, you know that Yosuke is no joke. He's clearly highly skilled with lightning jutsu, as well as his spear. Then there's also his comment about how when he's with his partner, he's even better. Sure, they might be a good team, but can they really make each other more powerful?

Yosuke bursts forward with characteristic speed, becoming a blur for just a moment. He thrusts forwards at Anzai with his spear, but Goto leaps in front of the blow. Your eyes go wide as the spear stops just short of striking Goto's armor, and Yosuke's arm quivers from the invisible resistance. The Cloud-Genin looks down, shocked. "Impossible! What sort of Jutsu is this!?"

From behind Yosuke, his partner rushes forward. The smaller Genin leaps backwards, over his partner. Taiki swings his hammer in a wide arc towards Goto, and the impact sends the Snow Genin flying. He reasserts himself mid-air and lands on his feet, but he looks surprised that he was able to be moved regardless.

Anzai flips his weapon in half, turns a switch, and presses the trigger. The contraption seems to shift slightly, as if locking a mechanism in. Less than a moment later, a short tanto blade extends from the folded up miniature cannon. You quietly wonder what other sort of tech the Hidden Snow could possess.

Taiki rushes down Goto, and the two colossi engage. Goto is the more dextrous of the two, using his thinner frame and boxing-like fighting style to weave out of the strikes of the hammer. For the odd one that connects, his armor absorbs the blow, although he's sent flying. Taiki occasionally gets struck in the face, but he remains as stoic as ever, persisting with his crushing tool.

>>43259379
Yosuke flies forward in a stab once more, and Anzai leaps to the side to narrowly avoid the attack. The Snow Genin sprints forward, and gets inside of Yosuke's range before the spear wielder can react. Without a way for the Cloud Genin to defend himself, Anzai attempts to cleanly slide in his high-tech tanto into Yosuke's gut.

The Cloud Genin is not so easily beaten, however. He releases his spear and it clatters to the ground. He takes a hand and grasps Anzai's wrist, stopping the tanto's blade just short of his flesh.

Yosuke speeds through several handseals, using just one hand. He shuts his eyes and inhales deeply, and you presume that he's preparing a jutsu. He opens his eyes and shouts the name of his technique. "Static Armor Jutsu!"

Electricity briefly engulfs him before transferring itself to Anzai, and causing the silent Genin to cry out in agony. The lightning is over in a flash, but the Snow Genin's coat is rather singed, and smoking. Yosuke raises his spear.

>A. Stop! Don't kill him!
>B. Remain silent.
>C. Leap down with your team into the fray.
>D. Write-in

>>43259393

You elect to remain silent, and decide to let things play out naturally. Your interference could just as well make things worse as better. Looking down, Yosuke has hefted his spear over his head and is leaning back to bring it down on Anzai. Across the room, Goto yells out whilst fighting Taiki. "Anzai! Get up! To think that even one as you would go so far to disgrace her majesty in battle!"

This seems to rouse Anzai from unconsciousness, and his knuckles go white as he grips his high-tech tanto. He retracts the blade and flips the mechanism back over so that it's completely open, and loosely points the barrel at Yosuke. Squeezing the trigger rapidly, bright blue flashes emanate from the muzzle. Yosuke's body shudders as something impacts him several times, and he's force to release Anzai.

He holds his chest, wincing from the pain. There doesn't seem to be any visible damage, however. He growls. "What the hell!?"

Nyoko chuckles, strolling back to her throne and taking a seat. She smiles. "Concussive blasts. Anzai's rifle doesn't need to be loaded anything to do some damage, at short range. Quite intuitive, wouldn't you say?"

You can see Anzai drawing what seems to be a small white pellet. He loads it into his rifle, and squares up to aim at Yosuke. Taiki opens his mouth to warn his ally, but Goto's fist crashes into his jaw and interrupts him.

>>43260068
Nyoko chuckles and covers her eyes with her hands, and Anzai squeezes the trigger. The muzzle flashes, and something impacts the ground just in front of Yosuke. There's only the slightest pause, and then an impossibly bright flash nearly blinds you. In fact, because of all the ice, the light is enhanced greatly. Your team covers there eyes, and Ai remarks. "A Flash Bomb bullet. We can assume he uses various types of ammunition then."

The light fades, and Kichiro nods. "I'd like to get me one of what he's got.."

Although you can't see it, you recognize the dull thuds of fists on flesh. When the light goes away, you see Anzai dart in for a final strike against Yosuke. The Cloud Genin was flailing about without effect, blindness keeping him from defending himself from a series of strikes. Blood is running down the Genin's nose, and he doesn't look happy. He's leaning on his spear.

"Enough of this crap!

He stabs his spear forward, and a bolt of lightning flies out and slams into Goto's back. His armor absorbs the attack, completely negating it. Ai points out what you're all wondering. "That armor..It blocked Taijutsu, and Ninjutsu as well. What sort of limits does it have?"

You shrug. "No idea."

Kichiro smiles. "We'll figure it out. I'm sure his weakness will show up at some point during this fight. We're lucky they're kind enough to let us observe, and discover their weaknesses."

Ai nods. "Quite. Takeshi's social nature has benefited us in unseen ways, and more."

You chuckle, and rub the back of your head. Down below, the action intensifies.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzK3m5RLmPM

Yosuke, apparently getting desperate, raises his spear overhead. Slowly but surely, it flashes with electricity until it's covered in a blue-ish white aura of power. You can hear the sound of it vibrating from your perch above, and you recognize what this technique is. He's channelling the lightning nature chakra into his blade, in order to increase the cutting power. Maybe he thinks this will let him penetrate Goto's armor?

Then, Yosuke yells out. "Taiki! Foul Ball!"

The larger Genin breaks off from his opponent with a leap, and he pulls out a small ball of paper bombs. Taking careful aim just as he lands, he strikes the ball with his hammer. It richochets of the side of the room, going around Goto and behind Anzai.

Yosuke thrusts his spear forward, and a bolt of lightning extends to strike the paper bomb. It explodes with violent force, sending Anzai flying until he slams into the frozen wall. Goto is sent flying outside as well, and Yosuke is knocked onto the ground.

Only Nyoko and Taiki remain standing. It seems that Yosuke will get up, and you can't imagine that Goto is done yet either. What will you do?


>A. That's enough! You hurt one of them, so your revenge is done with! (Stop the fight)
>B. Remain quiet, and let it play out.
>C. Stop! Anzai could be hurt! (Go check on him)
>D. Write-in

This is an option, but you have to pick who to try and steal a scroll from.

You don't know if the Cloud team even has their scroll, and if they do, what they have, or who has it. For the Snow, any of them could have it. Possibly Nyoko, who isn't engaged in combat and is 100% healthy.

>>43260390
>>43260131
Second, gotta get the loot.

>>43260463

better yet, put a substitution jutsu or genjutsu on it to think they still have both necessary to pass the exam. It'll make them waste their time when the proctor tells them it's a fake.

Best case scenario we knock out another team.

>>43260482

We know the snow team has both scrolls, since she stated that she was resting in ice palace after they got it in a previous thread.

I'm assuming bodyguards wouldn't hold it, it's too valuable. The princess would be our best bet, and if not we can hold her hostage to get the scroll anyway.

>>43260503
Holy shit, that sounds like the biggest dick move imaginable. Turning it back into a log the moment they go to hand them in, just to see their faces.

>>43260574

Yes, but use AI and Kichiro to confirm who has the scroll. Have them use their eyes and look around, confirm with them the plan, set out a attack run and clear lanes, etc.

>>43260574
Yes, but do it sensually.

>>43260609
Cloud are going to lose. They're 2 vs 3, and they've already lost their scroll.

Guy if we're going to steal, wait until someone else drops. We can do it then with less risk.

>>43260639
But the fight is 2v2 right now.

Hold off on stealing until at least people start getting worn out. Both teams will mob our asses

>>43260653
If we go in now we should side with the Cloud ninja, then backstab them after we've dealt with the Snow ninja.

>>43260131

>>43260773
Yes

>>43260131

>Steal the scroll

This is plan, it is a good plan

Have Ai and Kichiro pick out who they can take out fastest, odds are it's the snow team cause 5v 3 leaves us with the advantage when it inevitably turns into 3v2 against team lightning. Make sure Lightning does the brunt of the fighting and we just do support, they are emotional and most likely will agree to being the brunt of the assault.

Then, when team snow is beaten, take both scrolls and offer the one we do not need to team lightning, they wont want to fight because
A.) they are tired and
B.) its 2 v 3 and
C.) they still gain a scroll and we still remain friendly.

Keep the second (earth scroll) in reserve in case we get ambushed, use it as a legit decoy to save us some trouble.

If we get caught trying to steal, then engage using targets AI, Kichiro and we decided, and take the snow princess as hostage using poison senbon. That will give her a time limit and if she has to fight us, she risks dying. Her bodyguards will give up the scroll rather than risk having her dead.

I think it will work.

>>43260776
>Well then, I was confused. Why not just help Cloud?
its personal for them they dont want help

>>43260837
It's not a good plan because Nyoko is 3strong5us

>>43260837

Or if we want to be real dicks, we could just say that we had both scrolls and use false place jutsu to make our one scroll look like another heaven scroll, and give that to the lightning team. This way, it prevents the fight between us and lightning as they have both scrolls and avenged their comrade.

If they ask, just make up some sappy bullshit about knowing what it's like when a teammate is in trouble and getting helped out (he would know, since Naruto's kid helped us out during that mission to the cloud village, and we helped her out)

Dickish? yes. Knocks out two teams with minimal fighting and gives us an advantage? Absofuckinglutely.

>>43260949
But anon, everyone is 4strong6us we must act at some point.

Trying to steal one of the scrolls here seems like a really bad idea,

>>43260986
Might as well just offer to help patch them up after they've fought. Maybe one of the teams will help us get our second scroll.

>>43260986
can you blame an ninja for trying

>>43260986
So what we stand around like a fucking invalid and just watch it all go down? We're not really strong, we're clever.

Clever is stealing the goods while the two power houses slap each others shit.

That's a goddamn dumb idea and you should feel bad. It's a goddamn competition, if we try to help them all that will happen is that we'll lose.

i know just what to steal his sister's heart

You decide once more that letting things happen naturally is the best course of action. You, Ai, and Kichiro are all tense on the edges of your perches as the fight continues. The dust from the explosion settles, and everyone begins to shake it off. Yosuke stands up and crackles with several threads of electricity. He must have a powerful will to keep fighting after all of this.

Anzai, amazingly, is standing up. One of his sleeves is soaked with blood, and his left arm hangs limply by his side. Even so, he's wielding his rifle in his good arm. He raises one leg and balances carefully, resting the barrel of his rifle on his knee. He bends his back down and tucks his hips in slightly, creating a study base of weight even on one leg. He hammers the trigger with his finger, and actual senbon fire out rapidly. Several pierce Yosuke's forearm as he raises his spear to defend himself, and you notice they slide cleanly through. Each one of those needles is propelled with enough force to be deadly, easy.

Yosuke spins his spear rapidly to deflect the needles, and struggles to maintain his position. Goto would have crushed him from behind, but Taiki came in suddenly with his hammer overhead. You notice that the lower half of the head begins to spin like a turbine, and suddenly it sounds as though a jet engine roars to life. The hammer is propelled in a golf-swing at mach speeds, causing a tremendous flash when it strikes Goto's armor. The Snow Genin is sent crashing through the wall of ice, and into the forest. The wall crumbles, and daylight is let into the battle-scarred castle. Nyoko chuckles, and claps her hands together lightly.

Taiki looks up at her with disgust. "Huh, you would laugh at the defeat of your ally? Twisted."

Nyoko shakes her head, and stands up. "He's fine. I'm laughing because this is a good show. But, like all shows, it's getting boring. I want you and your friend to leave my castle."

>>43261070
The most likely person to hold the scrolls the snow niggas have is Nyoko, who's just chilling on a throne at the moment. The Cloud niggas likely left theirs with their injured teammates in case they lost, not to mention that we're actually on friendly terms with Yosuke.

Basically either we steal from someone who's sort of friendly, or try and steal from someone fresh and more than likely watching us in case we try to do something during the battle.

>>43261167

I'd do it and paint a dick on the back of his jacket while he was sleeping.

But that's just me.

Slowly, she raises her arms until she's standing like a cross. Inhaling deeply, something strange happens. The wind all sucks into the castle, and a tornado of dust spins in the center. The temperature begins to drop. And drop. And drop.

In less than a minute, you can see your breath. The tips of your fingers are starting to hurt, and your nose is running. Now you start to understand how Nyoko made a castle like this. She exhales slowly, and brings her arms back. The frigid air shifts as she moves, and suddenly she attacks.

She flies through at least a dozen handseals in a few seconds, and holds her hand up to her mouth like Kichiro does when preforming a fire jutsu. "Water Style: Morning Dew!" She blows out a fine mist of water, coating the entire room in a slick moisture.

Yosuke and Taiki both smile. Yosuke taunts her. "Is that it? Gonna make us a little chilly? That's not going to be en-"

Nyoko raises her hand and gestures for Yosuke to shoo. "I said leave, peasant."

The frost instantly solidifies around both Taiki and Yosuke's bodies. They're coated in white, and you they both begin to audibly groan in pain. The ice cracks as they slowly move, and struggle to force themselves to flee. They turn around and wordlessly escape the castle. Nyoko sits back down, and Goto enters through the hole in the wall. Anzai steps beside her.

Nyoko smiles. "Frostbite is painful, and at proper temperatures it can set in quite fast. They're lucky that it's still daylight and they can bask in the sun for a few hours to wash the chill from their bones."

The Snow Shinobi seem to be the victors of this encounter.

You and your squad leap down, and you take a step forward. You notice that Goto and Anzai have resumed their faithful positions on Nyoko's sides, and it makes you chuckle. They're really like a couple of royal guards from a story, or something. Nyoko stands up from her throne and walks forward to meet you, smiling. You look all around at the battlefield.

"That was an impressive victory. You and your squad are all really strong. Yosuke and his partner were no joke." She nods, and Goto chuckles. "They may have had the upper hand in brute strength, but we had the superior defense, and tactics. Even if Anzai allowed himself to be damaged.." Goto glares at the smaller boy, who simply scoffs and slings his headphones on.

I could see it. He's more an actually likable guy, rather than a typical "everybody likes him because he's kind" shounen protagonist. Don't think there's anyone who truly hates him yet, anyway.

>>43262165
Nah
The guy is ignoring his pain.
Unless its the princess, then we got some favor

"I could heal Anzai for you, if you want." The Genin does not hear you speak, simply nodding to his music. You can vaguely hear the sounds of a heavy electric guitar. Nyoko looks down at his arm, and frowns. She seems to think for a few moments before looking back up. "Mm, I don't think that will be necessary. Anzai will receive treatment at the tower. I'd hate for you to waste your resources when you've yet to secure a scroll of your own. It's difficult, out here in this forest."

You shrug, and agree. "I can't argue with that. Well, I guess we'd better get moving then. Daylight's burning, after all."

You decide that it'd be best to simply keep moving forward towards the tower. You and your squad all leap into the trees and try to quietly move through, finding comfort in the rhythmic calm of leaping from branch to branch.

You travel this way for a short while, until the sun is starting to set. You can either set up camp where you are, circle the tower left, or circle the tower right. Or head back.

>A. Camp.
>B. Left circle.
>C. Right circle.
>D. Head back.
>E. Write-in

>>43262236
>C. Right circle.

>>43262236
>C. Right circle.

>>43262236
>B. Left circle.

>>43262236
>C. Right circle.

Wasted opportunity but more social link for princess?
eh

>>43262236
>C. Right circle.

>>43262236
>B. Left circle.

>>43262236
>B. Left circle.
>C. Right circle.
Not really sure which of these is which. Am I right in thinking clockwise and counterclockwise, respectively?
If so, B. If not, C.

>>43262375
Clockwise and CC, that's right.

>>43262402
Excellent.

>>43262236
C

You and your squad decide that right seems like the best option, for some arbitrary reason. The three of decide that it's relatively safe to walk at this point, and conserve some of your energy. You all begin down the forest and start to circle the tower, enjoying the calm. Smiling, you look to your team. "This would be like a really fun hiking trip, if we weren't also in constant danger."

Kichiro chuckles. "This is a good example of people who look at the glass half full, and people who look at it half empty. You say this would be a good hiking spot if we weren't in danger. I say, we wouldn't be in danger if this was such a bad hiking spot."

Ai nods. "I concur. The location is the primary factor to the proximity of danger, not the location of the danger itself. Especially considering the forest is fenced in."

You cross your arms as the three of you walk. "Uh, no way. If we took away the fence, then all of the mean animals would leave. Then the forest would be a good place to hike, which is what I was meaning."

Kichiro shakes his head. "You're crazy: That'd just mean that getting to the place where it's nice to hike would require a dangerous hike, which makes the whole thing dangerous!"

Ai grumbles as you all round a huge tree. "I don't think anyone should hike in a place called the Forest of Death, regardless."

You and Kichiro shrug, admitting defeat. She makes a good point.

As you come around the other side, you see Inojin, Shikadai, and Chocho shortly in the distance.

That's all for tonight folks. I'll be picking up running more frequently again, after that short little break. May run tomorrow. I'll be here for Q&A

>>43262659
WHAT
awww man.
What happen if we go to yosuke's team?

>>43262659
Aww comon! More!

>>43262659
Thanks for running

>>43262749
Soon. You guys are getting closer to finishing the forest, it's within a reasonable realm of possibility at this point

Once that happens things are going to speed up considerably.

>>43262717
You could have healed them and maybe teamed up

>>43262659
So short. Oh well, I look forward to next thread. Hopefully it won't take two weeks.

I hope we learn some more utility jutsu and genjutsu. The more tools we have the better.

>>43262829
We need to learn sensor-type ninjutsu, more genjutsu, and more healing jutsu. Those are top of our list.

>>43262880
also gets our physical stats up to not shit levels.

>>43262797
Knew it.
What a wasted opportunity.

Btw, we already mastered the false place and sound ya?
How is our instant step technique and chakra control going ?

>>43262975
You're pretty good at Shunshin because your chakra control is decent.

>>43263014
Out of A, B, C, D, E, what is our Chakra control?

>>43263014
So how would things have played out if we actually decided to steal the scroll while they were fighting?

>>43263037
it was 2.5 last stat up

>>43263037
I'm guessing C or D

>>43263037
C

Most Genin are D. There's a group of Genin around C- and C+

There's a select few with a B in control.

>>43263064
Dunno, depends on who you would have went for

>>43263076
Nyoko

>>43263014
theoretically speaking, if we spent the entire month training Shunshin...how close would we be to Shisui levels?

>>43263076

Probably would have went for snow, then Lightning if they tried to fight us. Stealing from Nyoko.

>>43263076
i wanted to ask this last time but how hard would it be for Takeshi too learn this http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Heavenly_Weeping

>>43263132
>>43263153
We'd be fucked, and not in a hot way.

>>43263132
>>43263153
You'd get rekt

>>43263134
Shunshin effects are directly proportional to your natural strength and speed, chakra reserves, and chakra control. Increase those and gets better.

>>43263170
Not too hard

>>43263183
Yep
Nyoko is cold headed than takashi, especially in her natural terrain.
I think she could be a cold-hearted bitch, if you let her

>>43263208
And supposing we worked solely on those, with the intent on mastering Shunshin to the point where it's almost easier to use than walking?

What I'm saying is I want the following.
(Itachi+Shisui) - Sharingan = Takeshi

How likely is that?

>>43263208
So Mini, who's your favourite waifu___?

>>43263255
Previous said it was Nyoko.


>>43263251
We'd need some massive stat ups.

>>43263255
Think he already said it was Nyoko

>>43263208
So are the lightning team or snow team worried that we saw most of their techniques? And would we be able to ask any of them to teach us a move after the chunin exams are done before every team has to head back to their homes.

>>43263076

I think Shunshin is great way to enhance our physical combat.

All shunshin is is using chakra as an explosion to propel a person forward. Concentrating that into a fist or elbow can deal some massive damage.

I'm Imagining Takeshi clearly getting outclassed in a taijutsu fight, then simply stepping onto a persons foot and then using shunshin to both break the foot and propel themselves upward into a devastating knee into someones face.

Then, when the knee connects using Shunshin again to blow ourselves back into the ground so we don't wind up helpless in the air.

Or grabbing the back of the head so that Shunshin an opponents head into our knee while Shunshinning (is that a word) off the opponents foot into the face.

>>43263251
That's the type of thing that comes naturally after years of dedicated training to a specific role

>>43263255
Nyoko

>>43263251
Think it'd be more likely to end up as something between Shikimaru, Tobirama and Tenten.

>>43263277
>>43263288
Huh. Good taste.

>>43262797
>Once that happens things are going to speed up considerably.

As in how? How far have you planned ahead with this quest? Will we actually see Takeshi grow up, or is this kid stage just temporary?

>>43263354
>Will we actually see Takeshi grow up, or is this kid stage just temporary?
The former is what has been implied.

>>43263311
This is actually what i have been trying to plan

>>43263313
But can you imagine how utterly terrifying that'd be? A Genjutsu user so fast that noone can honestly tell if he was really there or just using a Genjutsu? The real one just as insubstantial as the illusions?

>>43263311
That could very well kill someone and possibly shatter our knee. You've been in a fight or two, yes? Imagine hitting some one full force in the jaw, how much that would hurt your hand. Now multiply it by about ten. That shit would hurt.

>>43263420
acquire gauntlet with padding but metal on the front. Problem mostly solved.

Any interesting fights that happened in the forest that we may not get the chance to learn about?

>>43263456
A myriad assortment

>>43263502
Our element is water right?

>That could very well kill someone
Good.
>possibly shatter our knee
Not so good.

We'l need some heavy duty protective equipment if we want to be the speedster.

>>43263502
So what did Yosuke and Nyoko think about our non-interference?

>>43263420

I have been in at least 80 fights in my life. I know full well what it can do.

I also know this is a Naruto quest , where they insert a legendary demon into a child and expect shit to be okay, where a dude with fucked up eyes doesn't become blind, where there are so many Mary Sues it looks like a college sorority, and where they expect 10 year olds to fight like hardened military veterans.

>>43263559
>>43263502
Hell, what did our team think about our offer to heal one of the enemy?

>>43263559
Not much. They trusted you to not interfere.

>>43263591
Not much. They know how you are, and they knew that the snow team wasn't a threat to them.

>>43263616
Our team still at peak?

>>43263687
Yup, no one's injured or tired

>>43263705
Assuming there's a timeskip after the chunin exams, how long would it be?

>>43263251
I'd say a good mix would be Itachi + Tobirama, become a legend at genjutsu/water techniques/speed/summoning techniques. Make us incredibly flexible in fights. Maybe pick up the sword too?

>>43263781
The time skip won't be after the chunin exams, but when it does happen it'll be 2.5 years.

>>43263854
I assume our training would be picked in a meta thread or pre-determined based on previous choices then?

>>43263910
Or just some rapid votes at the start/end of the thread after/before the timeskip.

>>43263835
As long as we get that water senbon technique, never saw that before, shit looks awesome.

When are you running, next?

>>43263854
Will we keep in touch with the Snowbros and get squad-cohension tips from Grass during that time?

>>43263986
Soon, sometime.

>>43263910
You'll have a few threads of preparation, as the month. During this time you can prepare, goof off, train, hang out with people, travel, whatever.

You'll have a month to do what you want.

>>43264057
Up to you

>>43264057
>>43264065
Would they be willing to teach us a bit of ice ninjutsu if we asked them once the exams are finished?

>>43264143
Probably not
