You and Kakashi find yourselves in the forest, taking up a defensive position with the rest of your troops. Your division hasn't made contact with any enemies yet, but you're ready.

As you wait, you hear a voice in your head. You see Kakashi react to it as well.

"Kakashi, Kon. This is Inoichi." the voice in your heads tells you. "Tenzo's reconnaissance squad didn't return, but they got us back some valuable information! Among it, the knowledge that Orochimaru's right hand man Kabuto has supplemented Madara's forces with the Impure World Reincarnation technique. The Edo Tensei. They have reanimated ninja from the past to do their bidding, and they are unkillable. The only way to get rid of them is to seal them. Now I know you only have one sealing specialist in your division, but you'll have to make due for now. We're already at work reorganizing our sealing specialists into squads and redistributing them. I've already informed the Ambush Division ahead of you, but I need to let the others know. Good luck!"

With that, the voice is gone. You look to Kakashi.

"Damn. This is bad news." he curses. "Undying soldiers. This will require a change in tactics."

The news is of concern, but as it is there are still no signs of enemy movement as indicated by any of your sensors. Your Division continues to lie in wait.

Happy birthday, anon

>>46143951
>A.Talk to Kakashi (Write-in)
All that means is we have to stall harder

>>46143951
>>C.Just stay alert, ready to strike any enemy that appears quickly

Let's gather Nature chakra while we wait, sage mode sensory capabilities are one of our biggest assets right now.

>>46143951
>A.Talk to Kakashi (Write-in)
>B.Talk to someone else (Write-in)
Discuss tactics. Propose that if we can't kill them, then we need to emphasize immobilizing them and rendering them ineffective until such time as our sealer can dispose of them. Also add additional guards to them, as they just became a majorly mission-critical element.

>>46143951
>>C.Just stay alert, ready to strike any enemy that appears quickly

Store up some nature chakra and keep an eye out. Maybe discuss ways to immobilize the zombie ninja.

>>46143951
>D. Go to the troops, spread the news as fast as possible. Find the sealing specialist and get our best bodyguards on them. Those skilled at delaying the enemy are more valuable than those skilled at wounding. Find some genjutsu specialists, when we encounter the enemy we need to know if they can be locked in genjutsu.

>>46143951
>>A.Talk to Kakashi (Write-in)
They will likley attept psycological warfare on us, but more likley if they know where specific people are they will send hard counters...

on a side note Blaze Release chick was known as the hero of the sand and an ambassador of sorts, a few parallels with Kon, so its quite interesting, she was idealistic like him but died bitter and full of hate.

>>46143951
>C.Just stay alert, ready to strike any enemy that appears quickly

>>46144010
>>46144024

You stay alert, but decide to discuss tactics with Kakashi while you can.

"So we'll have to stall even harder, huh Sensei?" you ask. "We should probably guard our sealer closely. They just became a mission critical element."

"Of course. I'll get Guy and Lee on it." your teacher responds. "As for the Edo Tensei, we'll have to focus on immobilization. Ensui and his squad will fill that role nicely. Haku can do his part, too."

After going over some tactical revisions, you and Kakashi disseminate the new battle plans to the rest of the division. No sooner than you've done so, you see a flare from the Southwest.

"That's a signal flare from the Ambush Division." Kakashi notes. "They might be in trouble."

>A.Let's go

>B.We shouldn't move our entire force that way at once, some should keep position here

>C.Other

>>46144357
>C. I'll take two squads to reinforce and, if necessary, cover their retreat. If I send a flare, that means we're coming in with enemies on our ass.

I don't want to get split up. Way too dangerous in these conditions.

>>46144400

What this guy said.

>>46144400
Yeah, this.

>>46144400
I second this plan.

>>46144400
This, I guess we gotta go full operator to win this without the ol'fox battery running around. My release works well at temporary paralyzing foes.

I'll be back asap. Enter Sage mode and get the fuck in there if we have time for it.

If the Ambush Division is in trouble, there's no time to lose, but you don't want to move the whole division now that you've set up here. You come up with a plan.

"I'll take two squads to reinforce and if necessary, cover their retreat." you tell your Commander. "If I send a flare, that means we're coming in with enemies right behind us."

"Alright, but Maki has to stay with the rest of the division." Kakshi replies. "We can't afford to separate our sealer from the body of our force. Get to them and get back as soon as possible."

You're sent out with two squads, among them Haku. Your group races through the forest, until they come across a clearing. You see Sai, Omoi, and a few other ninja on the end closest to you, while the other side has three ninja. They are covered in cracks and have black sclera, just like the bodies of the former jinchuuriki that you saw. There is no doubt they are revived by Edo Tensei. But you would have known that regardless. Because one of the three is a ninja you personally saw die.

Zabuza Momochi.

He sees Haku, and is stunned for a moment. Glancing at Haku shows a similar reaction from him.

One of the other Edo Tensei, a woman with blonde and green hair, speaks up.

"So many children we have to fight..." she mutters. "How unfortunate."

The final enemy is a man that looks somewhat similar to some of your relatives. A Stone ninja near you confirms your suspicion.

"It's Gari, former captain of the explosion corps!"

Your other two adversaries are also recognized.

"That's Pakura, of the Scorch Release!" says one Sand ninja.

Several comments are made about Zabuza, but you ignore them for the most part.

"Haku..." Zabuza eventually says. "I see you're still alive. You even have my sword."

Haku seems to be frozen in place.

>A.Try to keep them occupied by talking while the Ambush members stealthily fall back

>B.Jump in and attack

>C.Say something to Haku (Write-in)

>>46144924
>A. Zabuza. Been a long time...Haku's been training real hard with that sword. It works well with his Ice release, from what I've seen. How you been?

>>46144924
>C.Say something to Haku (Write-in)
"Haku, don't let this get to you. I know there's nothing you despise more than disrespecting your master. But you're not the one doing that, Kabuto is. Defeat Zabuza and keep him from being a madman's puppet, that's the best way to honor his memory you can."

>>46144924
>>C.Say something to Haku (Write-in)
Haku, it's ok you've gor this. Zabuza was your inspiration, times time for you to forge ahead and build an even greater future for yourself and those you care for, show Zabuza how strong you have become, more than a mere weapon.

>D.Other
Stall while everyone gets into formation, maybe say hi to our distant relative and talk to the deceased "Hero of the Sand".

BTW plan to deal with her, once we see she forms orbs to attack we just form our own Impact sphere around her so it ignites itself and boom, she nukes herself and her own team.

>>46144924
C. Haku this isn't the man you once knew, he may have the same face and even his memories but now he is just a tool being used by Kabuto. We need to seal him away so he can be at peace again and then we can get to work taking down the bastard defiling the bodies of dead ninja.

>>46144924
>A.Try to keep them occupied by talking while the Ambush members stealthily fall back

Ask Gari if he's our granddad, and then proceed to kick his ass. The Haku/Zabuza stuff is personal so they'll probably have to deal with that themselves.

>>46145190
We're probably going to be too busy fighting Pakura. Laze said thatg Kabuto programmed her to target Kon specifically, since her bloodline trumps ours. We're going to have to take advantage of our melee skills, instead. Fortunately between the tail, extra dexterity in our legs, chakra cloak, and chakra-infused wire, we're going to be just awful to fight in melee. Kon's going to be this flailing storm of limbs, any of which can smash you apart if they even get near you, let alone hit you.

>>46145324
Maybe, but considering our release trumps explosion hard I'd just like us to deal with him in seconds and then get our ass kicked by Pakura.

>>46145324
Truly, he is a the monkey. A screaming entity of raging limbs that hit with hurricane-like strength.

>>46145324
If we sense they are about to fight just forms a sphere around the three of them while they are in formation, if she uses an ability it will ignite and nuke all three of them.

>>46145427
Actually, that could be really useful against these guys, if we can get her attacks to hit them. Scorch Release doesn't burn, it desiccates. Resurrected ninjas can heal from damage, but turn them into shriveled mummies and they should be immobilized due to lack of flexibility.

>>46145478
pretty much, and even IF she is unaffected which would be bull we will have dealt with the others

You can't seal these ninja right now, so your top priority is to get the Ambush members out and regroup with the rest of Third. You decide before anything, to try and encourage Haku.

"Haku, don't let this get to you." you start. "I know how much you respect your master, but right now he's being used. We need to stop him and put him to rest. Go ahead and show him just how strong you've become, more than a mere weapon."

Haku looks to you, still hesitant. He considers you words, then grips his sword.

"That's right..." Haku says. "I've become useful to a lot of people now, Zabuza. They all depend on me. Not just in battle, but even at home. There's someone who even says she couldn't live without my company. When you saved me Zabuza, I could never have imagined such a life. So thank you, for everything."

"Heh." Zabuza stares at Haku. "So you really were a complete failure as a tool, weren't you? Though I'm the one that couldn't reduce you to that, so it may be my failure. At the very least, you better keep carrying that sword in my name. Now, I've had enough of being a puppet. Hurry up and send me back to the afterlife."

As the two of them have been talking, the rest of you have been preparing. Sai, Omoi, and the other Ambush members make a break for the Third Division's body, while your squads block their retreat. It's then that your three enemies attack. Zabuza clashes with Haku, while Gari dives in to punch the ground near your troops and scatter them. You make to follow Gari, but Pakura instantly cuts you off. She strikes you, knocking you back, but when she does so, you can feel your strength sapping away. It's not a loss of chakra, but something made you feel weaker. You get back up and face her.

>Continued

>>46145678

"Karagowa, aren't you?" She asks. "It seems I'm compelled to fight you. Funny, I fought another Karagowa from the Leaf several times. She never beat me, but she was a master of escape. She fought me and lived more times than anyone else."

You can feel the air around you getting hotter. It must be the result of her jutsu. You'll have to be careful.

"Could I ask you to fight me poorly, then? Do the seals on you give you enough leeway that you could choose to make dumb decisions? Or are you not even going to try, because even as a puppet you still have your pride and feel like you have to give it your all, or something like that?"

>>46145750
>>C.Try to stall with some conversation (Write-in)
So your programed to fight me hmm? Care to throw me some hints, who are you anyways?

>A.Try launching a big enough attack to stall all three of them while you all pull back
Blow some impact tags all around them and us, see if it effects the dead and if it works on Paruka

>E. other
We begin a slow withdrawal, not retreat this gives the Ambush team time to provide the information to kakashi and when we finally reach them they will have a counter in place ready if we need it.

If needs be we can lead her away.

>>46145750
>A.Try launching a big enough attack to stall all three of them while you all pull back

"Well if she never beat you, and always escaped that implies that you never beat her either. So you're being a bit too cocky for a corpse."

what water jutsu do we have again?

>>46145874
Water bullet?

>>46145874
>Tearing Torrent
I suggest we combo it with our Lightning to fry her, Water technique uses to hands, throw it them make like Palpatine and use our Lightning on in each hand effectively double casting it.

>>46145874
We have one. Because people refused to put more effort into the counter to our own vulnerability.

>>46145941
I know, but I think we will have to try to make do in the meantime, tearing torrent will help us fight both her and will assist Haku by providing more water to freeze as well as absorbing some of the radiant heat cooling us all.

>>46145802
>>46145830
>>46145839
>>46145859

You decide to try and stall using conversation for all it's worth. You don't know how well it will keep Pakura from fighting you, but it's worth a shot.

"That was probably my mom." you start. "Though if she always escaped, that means you never beat her either , right?"

"I suppose." Pakura responds. "For your sake, it seems that was quite a good thing."

The two of you are still staring each other down without attacking. You can feel it getting hotter and hotter. You try to move just a bit, to somewhere cooler. You take a few steps and find a cooler spot, but the heat follows you. She must be trying to slowly sap your strength.

"So do you think you could fight me poorly?" you ask. "Do you have enough leeway to make some dumb decisions in battle?"

"I don't seem to be compelled to pull out my strongest techniques immediately, but I don't feel able to hold back." Pakura responds. "In time, I will likely be forced to escalate whether I want to or not."

You look to the others. They seem to be heading back towards the Third's main body slowly. Luckily, everyone seems to be alright, working together to keep Gari from landing any solid hits.

Haku is drawing Zabuza back slowly during their clash as well. Everybody seems to be in a decent position, so you could mount a retreat now. It's not like you have a way to defeat them for good here. The longer you stay, the higher the chance of incurring casualties. Though there is the question of how exactly you would keep the enemy off the group.

Toss out lots of wired explosives between the trees as we retreat to slow them down.

>>46146292

Generally speaking a fighting retreat is the best way to prevent the sortie from becoming a rout.

>>B.Keep a slow pace as you move, everyone pitch in to fight them off the whole time

>>46146292
>A.Give everyone the order to fall back at full speed, cover them yourself
>C. Go full sage modo first.

>>46146428
This. Once we get in Sage Mode, we can handle slowing them down easy enough

>>46146292
>>C.Other
Launch the Flare for the fall back order we should have bought enough time for Kakashi to have set up counter measures.

Order the retreat, we can't stay near Pakura to long either or she will sap us. we cover our retreat by leading these guys into the main 3rd Div step by step we cover as much as we can, take no chances.

Is it just me, or do anime-based quests tend to draw a real do-everything sort of crowd that refuse to fight as part of a unit?

>>46146490
Yes! Send up the flare!

>>46146292
>B.Keep a slow pace as you move, everyone pitch in to fight them off the whole time
Go for the jutsu equivalent of volley fire, keeping the enemy constantly suppressed. Use the time we buy this way to sabotage the path by deploying traps. And send up a signal flare so that Kakashi knows we're coming.

>>46146428
hold your horses, don't do full impact sage yet, just basic sage. Impact Sage mode is our trump card, it's to early to play it.

>>46146368
This. Full blown retreats while in contact lead to unnecessary casualties. Fighting retreats, while slower, do not.

>>46146511
Its just you

>>46146519
traps are redundant at this point as they are immortal, we need to had back so we can seal them asap.

>>46146526
Not impact Sage Mode, but regular Sage can give us the strength and speed enhancements needed to hold off a small platoon of S-Rank threats.

>>46146490
Supporting this

>>46146557
The point isn't to kill them, it's to delay them and potentially incapacitate them.

>>46146511
Well, fighting as a unit almost never works in anime. For all the discussion about the power of friendship and teamwork, in the end it all comes down to one, maybe two heroes doing all the work.

>>46146637
This isn't an anime, and it was explicitly stated that the unit as a whole is doing well. So why would we risk a full retreat while facing immortal enemies, one of whom is literally the hardest of counters to our own specialties?

>>46146715
Oh, I'm not saying I agree with it. I just think that's the logic people are working with.

You want to get everyone out while they're still alive. It's time to fall back to Kakashi Sensei. Before you give the order, you gather enough Nature chakra to enter Sage Mode for a little while, as it can be done without moving and drawing Pakura's attack. Once you enter Sage Mode, you shout to your group.

"Everyone fall back to the rest of the Third Division!" you yell, making your way between all three adversaries. "I will cover the retreat!"

"Yes sir!" a dozen voices shout in unison, launching a couple of final jutsu before making a break for it. One of them sends up the signal flare.

The three Edo Tensei make to follow, but you start hammering them with jutsu, while slowly backing up yourself. Your release manages to slow them down more then effectively enough.

You eventually reach the rest of your division, where everyone is waiting. As soon as you're clear, the whole unit bombards the enemy with attacks.

As the dust clears, you hear a few puffs of smoke, indicating a summon. The barrage of weapons didn't seem to slow them down all that much.

The dust clears to reveal six more figures.

"It's the Seven Swordsmen of the Hidden Mist!" one ninja shouts.

Only four of them actually seem to have their swords, though.

"Maki, get ready to move in and seal them one by one." Kakashi directs. "The rest of us will hold the others off or immobilize them."

As Maki nods, Zabuza forms a hand seal.

"Hidden Mist Jutsu!

A thick mist rolls in and obscures everyone's vision.

We use Sage Mode to guide Maki to targets, and take either Haku or Kakashi to counter Pakura when she show up. With that done the rest of the battle becomes easier.

>>46146915
>B.Pakura is likely still after you, get ready to fight her
>A.Join Maki, try to guide her to a target
Lure her in and and be waiting in sage mode, fucking nail her as hard as we can once and have Maki seal her, we can then move to assist with our sensory skills in the mist.

>>46147021
Also, while this is metaknowledge, Maki is Pakura's former student. She'd be the best for helping us defeat her.

>>46147065
Not even metaknowledge, we could probably infer that from what she told us.

>>46146915
>>A.Join Maki, try to guide her to a target

>>46147115
>>46147065
I think it's largely redundant, we need to seal Scorchy and Maki is the only one whom can. This is just a bonus

>>46146957
>>46146985
>>46147020
>>46147021
>>46147128

The mist is obscuring most of the troop's vision, but you can sense clearly in Sage Mode. It would be best for you to try and direct Maki to a target. Though there is the issue of Pakura after you. But that might be easier dealt with if you're near the sealer.

"Maki!" you call out as you approach. "I will use my senses in Sage Mode to lead you through the mist. We don't have to fight blind here. However, there is one other thing. One of the revived ninja, Pakura, is after me specifically. We should be ready for her to show up at any moment."

"Pakura?" she asks. "She was my mentor. She's after you?"

"Likely as a counter to my own release." you explain. "The sooner we can seal her, the better."

Maki prepares the cloth she uses for her techniques, while Lee and Guy join you as her guards. The four of you should be able to handle any of the enemies here.

You summon Sarujizo and place him on your face to maintain Sage Mode, then sense around. You can sense about where all of the enemies are. So far, Kakashi seems to be directing everyone quite well, as they are staying in defensive positions and haven't taken any big losses yet as far as you can tell. You hope things will keep going so well.

You feel out among the enemies, and focus on one.

"Follow me!" you direct the others.

You all close in on the source to find a large man with wild hair, that reminds you of Kisame in his likeness to a fish. Fuguki Suikazan, you've heard. He doesn't seem to be wielding a sword.

He has several ninja grasped in his apparent prehensile hair, but one double dynamic entry forces the man to drop them.

"Sensei, this is where I get to prove myself!" Lee says. "Please watch me closely!"

"Don't get too cocky, Lee." Guy warns. "War is no time to showboat. Our comrade's lives are on the line. Let's just do our duty quickly and effectively."

Fuguki gets back up and launches his hair in the direction of the teacher and student.

So that she don't get ganked.

>>46147657
>>46147782
seconding Impact tag minefield.

>>46147798
How competent is she as a ninja? She was trained by Pakura.

>>46147782
>>46147657
Good idea, the mist will also aid us in this regard

>>46147940
Instead of water, why not counter Pakura with Fire? Her release is part Wind, so shouldn't it share our vulnerability to Fire?

Once she's done burning wrap her up.

>>46148009
Sometimes you need to fight fire with fire.

>>46148009
BAD IDEA
her release is Blaze (air+fire) we would litrally just be buffing her

>>46148009
>>46148038

I think she's probably better at fire than we are, and fire does counter our own release.

>>46148050
Scorch, not Blaze. Blaze isn't a real element, though Sasuke likes to pretend it is when he uses his Amaterasu flames.

>>46148009
What we need is steam. Water plus fire, should degrade both parts of her release just like wind plus fire does to ours.

>>46148050
Scorch, actually. And we already demonstrated that blasting Amaterasu back at Sasubitch worked... ish. Unlike him Pakura doesn't even have a chakrazord.

With our comparatively poor Water skills I half expect a Tearing Torrent to just evaporate anyway.

>>46148106
So we need Han over here

>>46148137
Im thinking we just need the water to stay damp and cool, fortunately the mist will do that for us for now.

>>46148208
To bad we can't say...trap her them in magma and then freeze them.

If we can't seal them or keep them trapped...

Then destroy that with a nebula sphere...

So we need Roshi and an ICE expert.

>>46148418
Kurotsuchi would also work, instead of Roshi. We should get her and Haku to team up, they'd be unstoppable.

>>46148439
Get the Child of Kon/Kuro (possible unique Kekki Tota or reform of Dust Release) to get it on with the Child of Haku/Ino (Ice Release and mind magic) and we great a child with all Chakra natures likely several kekki genkai or better and high use of Yin/Yang

>>46148524
You know what would be funny? If Haku's child was a girl and a huge tomboy, to match the trap look her dad had when he was her age. Confusing other people's sexual orientations will be the true Yuki clan bloodline.

You've done your part here by leading them to Fuguki, you can trust Lee and Guy to handle it from here.

Instead of joining the fray, you stay alert for Pakura, who you expect to show up again any minute. In anticipation, you set up a few traps around you, rigged with some of your Impact tags. Hopefully that will be enough to slow her down.

The battle with Fuguki rages on, but the man is stubborn, and won't stay down long enough to be sealed. Lee and Guy aren't using too much of their power yet, but you get the feeling that they wanted to keep some energy in reserve. Still, Fuguki is on the defensive, and it's only a matter of time before they corner him.

Turning your attention back to sensing, you catch something headed your way. It's Pakura. You set the traps off as she draws near, and watch as she's hit then struggles to move.

Unfortunately, she was ready. A wave of intense heat shoots out from Pakura, clearing the mist entirely for a ways around the two of you. The air is so dry, you can feel your skin cracking. As Pakura slowly gets up, she addresses you.

"That was actually the strongest move I could use." she says. "Most of my strong techniques spell instant death. It seems I'm not meant to kill you. You may just have a chance after all."

Pakura is up, but she's still wobbling. If it's true that she isn't using any lethal attacks, you could have a chance. But this Scorch area of hers is brutal. Every second that you are within it, you can feel your strength draining. Sarujizo is likely in a similar boat. You look back to see Lee and Guy putting some heavy pressure on Fuguki, but the fight's not over.

>A.Stall Pakura until they finish

>B.Go help finish Fuguki quickly so you can get backup

>C.Other

>>46148731
>C. Charge Pakura, try to remove her head. It might not stop her, but it could slow her down enough for Maki to get in with the seal. Use your weapon as much as necessary, with a chakra conductive cord it should be easy enough to dismember her.

>>46148731
Does our sheath still have the thunder god seal?

If we lodge that in a zombie ninja could Tenten drop them in the biggest trap spot?

>>46148731
>C.Other
Go on the offensive in melee range, we should be more than able to cut her apart.

>>46148780
That would require us to be able to communicate with Tenten, which we can't do right now.

>>46148731
Cut her apart while in sage mode with our weapon.

>>46148731
>>C.Other
Summon Enma and Combo Water moves togther to keep the pressure on her, Enma use Water techniques and we use Duel Lightning.

If Enma would rather Melee have Enma assist Guy and lee before returning to us.

>>46148731
>>46148834
seconded.

>>46148834
Summoning Enma takes a lot of chakra. I'm not sure we can afford to burn so much so soon in the fight.

>>46148731

>>46148834
Oh yeah I forgot Enma, do this even the odds a bit and it will not reveal to many of our trump cards. We going full Palpatine with Enma's water support

>>46148834
...Could Enma wear Mask monkey bro and combo with him?
We can even swap masks to restore our senjutsu

>>46148731

>>46148877
We still have our Monkey mask that chakra will not be an issue, we did it vs kakuzu no problem. So long as Mask is on we are set so do it now while we have that chance

with that in mind supporting >>46148834

>>46148877
Aren't we just using nature chakra that we can regen relatively quickly?

>>46148926
sadly no anon that's not how it works which is a shame

>>46148954
Yes we are

>>46148954
No. We still have to expend some of our chakra whenever we use a jutsu, the nature chakra is an additive rather than a new fuel supply entirely. Using powerful moves is still draining. Less than it would be without senjutsu, but still a considerable use of resources.

>>46148971
Monkeys can't work together?

What's the issue?

So what ever happened to getting a second summoning contract, anyway? Wasn't there another summon that would've given us perfect sage mode?

>>46149009
We're not allowed to do anything that would let us really take advantage of senjutsu. Our skills in it are too shitty, and we're apparently physiologically incapable of developing them further.

>>46149030
No. We're stuck with Partial Sage Mode no matter what. Kon just doesn't have the necessary affinity for nature chakra. A second contract would have just given us a different set of cosmetic animal traits to grow when we go Sage Mode. And we didn't have the time to go chasing down more contracts, so we didn't bother.

>>46149035
>>46149063

Kon the most average sage ever.

What would compliment monkeys anyway?

In the epilogue we're going to retreat to monkey mountain and meditate until we turn permanently into our Partial Sage Mode and become known as Konohas Raging Monkey

>>46149093
Pig. They always seemed to get along well.

>>46149093
I think Kon should have two modes

>Monkey
Straight up combat and jutsu

>Chameleon or Spider
Subtle and trap mode, low chakra stuff, scouting, infiltrating and the likes.

>>46148834

You need some support, but don't want to pull anyone away from the fight. There's one clear option.

"Summoning Jutsu!"

You perform the seals and place your palm on the ground. Enma appears in a puff of smoke.

"King Enma, I need your support." you say. "This woman has a release that trumps mine, so I need to try something new. Can you provide some water jutsu?"

"I can perform some basics of Water Release." Enma replies. "I will unleash them at your discretion."

At your command, Enma fires a volley of Water Bullets. They evaporate slightly in the heat, but Enma makes up for it by shooting even more. As he does so, you perform Lightning Release: Thunderbolt, guiding the electricity along the water. Despite Pakura's efforts, she's eventually overwhelmed and shocked. The two of you keep it up, and hold Pakura down, though the heat is starting to get to you.

Soon enough though, Lee, Guy, and Maki join you.

"We've sealed Fuguki, and are here to help!" Guy says. "Whew, is it just me, or is it hot here?"

"It's my teacher's Scorch Release." Maki says. "The heat will sap you of all your strength if you let it. We can't stay here too long, or we'll get all dried up."

"Maki." Pakura says, still regenerating from your attack. "You look like you've grown well. That's good. I'm surprised to see you working so well with all these ninja from other villages."

Your group gets ready to take Pakura down and seal her for good.

This is going to be a long day, gotta keep from getting worn down too early.

>>46149171
>B.Keep the pressure on with Enma

>>46149202
But Laze, Kon's never satisfied with 'almost perfect'.

>>46149202
No one believes you when you say that.

>>46149202
Yeah if I recall we got like an 88 for Nature Chakra affinity.

>>46149171
>A.You are getting winded, these guys can handle it
Let Enma fight in our stead while we meditate and regain our chakra.

>>46149197
No, he explicitly said that it can't be trained up. In response to

>Can we train it up to Perfect Sage Mode over time?
He said
>No but Partial Sage Mode has its own advantages, the monkey traits you gain from it can actually help in ways Perfect Sage Mode can't

So no, we'll never be as good as a proper Sage. But hey, at least we get a tail!

>>46149171
Enma's adamant prison + every hit their hardest at once.

>>46149237
We did not. We rolled a 77 and a 71, with Perfect Sage Mode having a DC of 75, and since Laze doesn't want us to ever be strong enough to actually matter to the plot he made up some shit about how he wanted to write Konohamaru's response to senjutsu first so that 77 was his roll, not ours.

>>46149261
Maybe Son Goku can reveal...the secrets of perfecting it.

>>46149294
>Still this salty.

>>46149171
>B.Keep the pressure on with Enma
This preserves our own chakra a bit but also keeps us at range and stops us burning up. As we seal hr we should ask if she knows where snake nerd is, ask him though her why he wants us alive?

>>46149310
Maybe I'd be less salty if it wasn't so blatantly obvious. It's clear that Laze just wanted to write a fanfic where Sasuke and Naruto swapped roles, and made it into a quest for some inscrutable reason. Kon's presence is an afterthought.

>>46149294
Somehow I get the feeling that Laze wouldn't be writing things a whole lot different even if we had perfect Sage mode. We'd probably be just as strong

>>46149261
I'm not talking about training it up, anon. I was referring to people talking about alternate summons that would maybe give us perfect sage mode. Laze seemed on board with it in that thread.

>>46149383
I don't think he does. Pretty sure that "It seems I'm not meant to kill you. You may just have a chance after all" was her saying that we were stronger than her and could defeat her, not that her programming was holding her back.

>>46149406
So why are you still here if this pisses you off so much?

>>46149463
I'm honestly not sure. I think it might be for the same reasons that I kept reading the manga, because having something I know will piss me off is cathartic.

>>46149437
He said no such thing. He said "worry about getting another contract first, then you can see if you can do anything interesting with it".

>>46149544
Which sounds like a maybe, not a no.

>>46149200
>>46149204
>>46149230
>>46149383

Now that you have backup, you and Enma keep up your combination attacks to lock Pakura down, while Lee and Guy get close to strike, and Maki stands by ready to seal.

Pakura is still using her Scorch Release throughout, and you can see Lee and Guy sweating more and more each time they draw close. Luckily, even in the heat, there's not much Pakura can do against your onslaught. She's eventually overwhelmed by the sheer number of your attacks. While your group is a bit more tired than you'd like, Maki eventually manages to get her cloth on her with out anyone sustaining major injury.

"That's that, I suppose." Pakura says, as she's being wrapped up. "Ninja from different villages working in tandem flawlessly. Never thought I'd see the day. Keep up the good work, Maki."

Pakura smiles just before she is completely sealed.

"Yes, Sensei." Maki answers.

Before any of you can get to your next task, Kakashi shouts from somewhere.

"Maki, we have Zabuza immobilized!" your teacher shouts. "We need you over here to seal him, immediately!"

"I'm on my way!" Maki responds, running in the direction of the command. Lee and Guy follow her.

You and Enma are about to join them, but you sense something. A chakra signature above you. You were too busy fighting to notice it approach. As you look up, you can hear a sort of whistling sound.

>A.Get down

>B.Form a barrier

>C.Shout an order (Write-in)

>D.Other

>>46149756

>C.Shout an order (Write-in)
"Take cover!"

Probably it's zombie Deidara. Not many other fliers in Kabuto's arsenal. And Impact Walls stop his moves cold, so we should be fine.

>>46149756
>B.Form a barrier

I've been thinking about the natural weakness our impact barrier has. Couldn't we just make two layers close to each other with opposite directions?

>>46149756
>>B.Form a barrier

Sage art release: BUILD A WALL AROUND THE ESCORT NPC!

>>46149852
How would that stop the fire/wind weakness?

>>46149954
well our walls also have the weakness that they only block movement in one direction. This is also the reason the original pearls of andromeda were meant to be mines that sucked air inside of them until they exploded.

>>46149813
>>46149824
>>46149828
>>46149829
>>46149832
>>46149892

There's no time to lose, Maki should still be close enough for your barrier to reach.

You flash through the hand seals, and put a dome around as wide as you can manage. A glance to the side tells you that you did in fact manage to fit Maki, Lee, and Guy inside.

Whatever was making that sound hits your barrier and explodes. Your barrier blocks the entirety of the blast, but it seems there were more bombs out of its range. s they coat the battlefield, you feel that this is unmistakably the work of Deidara.

You have no idea how people are faring out of your barrier, but you can't drop it. You see that other than your little group, you also managed to fit in a few dozen or so nearby ninja, so that's good. Eventually the explosions stop. You sense Deidara fly slightly away, but stay circling in one spot. No doubt he'll be back.

You lower your barrier, and make sure to keep your senses out for Deidara so he can't get the drop on you again.

Looking to Maki, Lee, and Guy, they seem a bit hesitant to move. As if they're not sure how to proceed.

>>46150090
>>46150150
seconded.

>>46150150

Yep, need to keep the sealer alive or this will get a whole lot harder. Voting for this.

>>46150150
You can't separate from Maki. She's the only one here who can seal the Edo Tensei, and you're the only one that can anticipate Deidara's bombing runs.

You and Enma run over to join her, Lee, and Guy.

"I can block the explosions if he comes back." you say. "You just focus on sealing."

"Right." Maki nods, still a bit shaken.

The five of you make your way over to where Kakashi's voice was from, to find him, Haku, and Zabuza bound by a Shadow Stitching Jutsu inside the shattered remains of Haku's Ice Prison. Kakashi and Haku are injured, but still good enough to go on.

Maki gets to sealing Zabuza, and Kakashi addresses you.

"Kon, I don't know how many we just lost in that volley." Kakashi says. "But we can't let it happen again. If he comes back, we need to get everyone in your barrier."

>A.Get going with Maki to the next target

>B.Ask if you can deal with Deidara before he comes back

>>46150393
>D. Give orders "Round up anyone who isn't currently engaged in combat and bring them here. I want a headcount of everyone we lost. Hurry, we don't know how long until Deidara comes back."

>>46150439
Seconded.
We need to play the shield while Kakashi, Guy and Lee take out Deidara.

>>46150393
We know healing from Tsunade, right? Can we try patching up Haku and Kakashi until they get to a real medic?

>>46150516
Yes, you are a pretty competent medic

>>46150538
Then let's heal em.

>>46150439
>>A.Tell them to go, Kakashi probably still needs help
This so much, Kon the human bunker, if we get a beat on him before we need to raise our barrier we should lance what he is riding and bring him down to our level to be engaged. Barrier takes priority

>>46150538
Ok while w gather everyone and th sealing is underway, put down some heals before Bomblond comes back

>>46150538
Right, healing and give orders as per >>46150439

>>46150439
>>46150515
>>46150516

It seems it's up to you to keep everyone safe at this point.

"Round up everyone who isn't currently engaged in combat and bring them here!" you shout to any ninja who can hear you. "I want a headcount of everyone we lost! Hurry, we don't know how long until Deidara comes back!"

As you wait, you heal up Haku and Kakashi's wounds. Soon enough, most of your division is gathered around you. In the volley alone, you lost over a hundred ninja. Though it seems while there were plenty of serious injuries before the bombing, you had actually managed to only take a handful casualties until it occurred. It seems almost as if Deidara came in because things were going too well.

You take note of everyone that's still here, and who is injured. You also do what you can to treat some of the injured ninja. As you finish up the headcount, you sense Deidara approaching. You tell Kakashi, and he shouts out for anyone who can still make it to get in the barrier.

Using all the chakra you can muster, you cover nearly the entire division with your barrier, protecting them from the blasts.

You notice one of the ninja that slipped in at the last minute.

"Whoo, that was close. I barely made it through the last one. Glad you're here." the voice is familiar, but entirely unexpected. It's Suigetsu. "What a total dick, blowing everybody up just cause those zombies can regenerate."

>A.Ignore him, ask Kakashi what he plans to do to stop Deidara

>B.Ask Suigetsu what he's doing here

>C.Give orders (Write-in)

>D.Other

Also sorry, but I have some more errands again

Back in a bit

>>46150818
>B.Ask Suigetsu what he's doing here

>>46150818
>C.Give orders (Write-in)
Lee, Guy, Haku and Kakashi need to take out Deidara after this round of bombing. While we can relatively easily stop casualties from these bombing runs we can't do anything without putting our entire division at risk.

>>46150818
>C. "Haku, take some Kumo nin and secure him. We can deal with him later." He's an enemy nin, after all.
Then
>A.Ignore him, ask Kakashi what he plans to do to stop Deidara

>>46150818
>>B.Ask Suigetsu what he's doing here
Dude....what? Isn't he apart of akaktsuki with naruto and shit?

>>46150922
Considering he hasn't attacked yet he's not an immediate concern.

>>46150818
>C.Give orders
Ok on his next pass be ready shoot him down with Lightning based attacks then keep him immobile until we can seal him, keep his limbs disabled.

>D.Other
Ask Kakashi if he has a plan counter to our own

>B.Ask Suigetsu what he's doing here
Long time no see, so what are you after? Did Naruto send you? Kinda a bad time you known NW 4 and all that

>>46150969
Go with this for now it's a basic plan but also see's what Sui wants....he wants a sword don't he

>>46150987
He ain't fucking gettin it.

>>46151014
Pretty much

>>46151014
>>46151108

There's like a bunch of legendary swords being wielded by the zombies around here. Even if he wants to duel wield, he doesn't need Haku's one! Bribe him with his pick to get him working for us.

>>46151147
But I want the one that blows shit up...

>>46151147
we should see if we can bargain with him...like maybe tell us where kabuto is hiding and we may leave a sword behind by mistake...

>>46151172
Shame we agreed to return them to the mist aint it

>>46151185
Oh shit your right...

fuck me then

>>46151185
Shiiiit anon. Forgot we said that. Glad we specified that Haku is keeping his shit.

>>46151185

"But I thought he WAS a mist ninja?!" - Kon, probably.

>>46150838
>>46150922
>>46150969
>>46150987

First thing's first, you need to get a plan going to stop Deidara.

"Kakashi Sensei, we need to put a stop to this on his next pass." you say. "I was planning to have him shot down with lightning based attacks, then we could deal with him easier when he's on the ground. Did you have something planned, Sensei?"

"I was thinking roughly the same thing." Kakashi answers. "You would be the best choice to shut Deidara down, but we can't risk not having a barrier up if we fail."

Kakashi goes around and gets some other ninja with the proper skillsets and briefs them on the plan. Meanwhile you turn to Suigetsu.

"What are you doing here?" you ask. "Aren't you with the Akatsuki?"

"Well, I wouldn't really say so. I just hung around Naruto because we're friends." Suigetsu answers. "I came here to talk to my brother, Mangetsu. I wasn't going to come, but Naruto insisted I should get some closure. Said that this is a normally impossible chance, and I should take it while I can. So here I am. I've been chatting while we fight. Pretty cathartic, actually. Kind of had a lot of issues when he died. Anyway, I'm basically fighting for you guys here, so this shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Outside the barrier, the explosions stop, and Deidara flies away again. Kakashi and his group get ready to respond to your signal, and you stay alert for Deidara to turn back.

>A.Fine with me

>B.No, go away

>C.Ask him something else (Write-in)

>D.Give order (Write-in)

>E.Other

>>46151308
>>A.Fine with me
Uuuh. Alright dude.

>>46151308
>D. Get Haku and some others to take him prisoner. We can't just let an enemy nin run amok on a battlefield in the middle of a war.

>>46151308

>C
Ok fine, just do yourself a favor when the mist fades you may want to get out of here before you get imprisoned again, so which sword do you like the look of...come on man I know your thinking it.

use a water bullet technique alongside the lightning ones when Deidera comes back around, i've got another job to do

>E
Ok Kakashi i'll keep the barrier ready, hope Maki is making the sealing rounds

>>46151308
>A.Fine with me
He's keeping one of the swordsmen busy for us, so I don't have a problem

>>46151308
>A
Alright after this we deal with your brother, closure is good you know, but do me a solid and please don't stab me in the back.

>E
Summon a mud clone to take a shot with the others while the real us gets the shield ready

>>46151308

>A.Fine with me
(Sure, an extra ally).

>D.Give order (Write-in)

If we can condense our forces a little more so they can be shielded easier next time if Kakashi's plan doesn't work, that'd probably be sensible.

>>46151308


>>46151473
backing the mud clone idea so we can cover both bases as it were

Why are you people letting AN ENEMY NINJA WALK AROUND A BATTLEFIELD UNTOUCHED BECAUSE HE GAVE A HALF-ASSED SOBSTORY ABOUT HIS BROTHER?

we really need to face Ameyuri Ringo she's got some nice swords that would work for us (other than explody sword) but I like her and we may get another admirer...b it an undead one

>>46151564
because it's Sui and he's a cool guy...also this is an anime where this shit happens all the damn time, we should stop him getting a sword though, tell him after the war he can go work for the Mizukage and gt one.

If he can keep one of the swordsmen busy, that's less danger to your own troops.

"Fine with me." you answer. "Just try not to stab me in the back."

"Nah, man. I was never all that invested in this whole thing anyway." Suigetsu responds. "I mean, I trust Naruto, so if he says the Infinite Tsukuyomi will save everyone, then I'll believe him. But this world's not so bad. Anyway, I'm going back out there. Good luck."

As you let your barrier down, Suigetsu takes off in the direction he came. Maki goes around to try and seal another swordsman, while Kakashi's team stands ready. When you sense Deidara coming back, you give the signal.

"Now!"

Kakashi and several other ninja unleash a barrage of lightning jutsu, hitting Deidara and knocking him out of the sky. He hits the ground, but something is weird. He has some familiar black rods pierced through his body.

"Get back!" Kakashi calls to the nearby ninja.

As they dive out of the way, there's a huge puff of smoke under Deidara, from which appears a giant Rhino summon. It charges your barrier and the ninja inside it, forcing you to hold it up.

"I guess that's it for taking you all out easily." says Deidara's voice. "I can't afford to lose one of my Paths in a simple squabble like this, so this is my cue to go. But have some parting gifts."

Deidara summons several more creatures all at once, from a giant ox to a giant crab, and multiple giant centipedes. Lastly, he summons a giant bird and hops on it to carry him away.

As far as you can sense, he's leaving the battlefield entirely. He'll be too far away to sense soon.

Your division stares down at the giant creatures. Most ninja are understandably terrified, as they have no attacks on a scale that can dent these beasts.

>A.Keep the barrier up for the weaker one's protection, let someone else take care of it

>B.Drop the barrier, rush the creatures and take them out as fast as you can

>C.Give orders (Write-in)

>>46151768
>D
Ask kakashi what he wants he is in charge. if he says it's cool we fucking snap these fucks to pieces like we did last time ans pepper them with Lances, if he says stay we keep the barrier up.

RESPECT THE CHAIN OF COMMAND

>>46151768
>A.Keep the barrier up for the weaker one's protection, let someone else take care of it
Deidara is a secondary issue that was only an obstacle as long as he was attempting to break our ranks.

>>46151768

Animal Path Deidara?! RUDE!

>D.Other

Ask Kakashi the plan, but I don't think keeping the shield up against that kind of weight is gonna be easy! Might mention that taking them out would be more efficient, and needs doing anyway.

>>46151828

You're not sure whether attacking or defending here would be the best thing to do. At this point, the only thing you can do is ask for orders.

"Kakashi Sensei!" you call. "Should I take them out, or hold up the barrier?"

Kakashi hesitates a bit before answering. Eventually he comes to a conclusion.

"I'm not losing any more men if I can help it, even if I have to take these things out myself." your teacher tells you. "Kon! Keep the barrier up! Anyone who can't help fight these creatures stay inside! If you can, get out here and join me!"

At Kakashi's instruction, you open up a small gap in the barrier for some ninja to pass through. Some retreat to the safety of the barrier, while some go out to fight. You hold it up for quite a long while as the battle rages on.

Eventually, all the summon creatures are defeated, and you let your barrier down. At this point, Sarujizo is beat. After apologizing, he says he he has to go back and rest for a while, then disappears. You're not doing so hot either.

You can see the sun setting. Soon it will be night.

>C.Rest for a while while staying alert
If we are the lifeline for a lot of these people we need to rest when we can, we won't have many opportunities.

>>46152022
>D. Nightfall's coming. Give orders to secure either this location or a nearby one. Direct the men in making fortifications.

Sadly we will have to maintain many more barriers in the future.

Identify the hostiles still active, get everyone who needs medics to one and secure the area.

>B.Go out and help seal whoever left
once we are back up to some strength go for a scout around. Don't go alone, maybe find kakashi and let him know whats happening

Look around for Sui and see which sword he has nicked or if we can grab one....

You decide that you need to be as rested as possible, just in case you're needed again. You direct some ninja to secure a location for nightfall, then take it easy while staying alert.

As the sky goes dark, everyone from the Third Division regroups at your fortifications.

"There are three swordsmen left, and that's it for our enemies here right now." Kakashi says. "It's a bad idea to try and take them out at night, so we all need to stay here on alert. They will still be here for us to seal in the morning. In fact, it should be quirk work."

As everyone takes up positions, you go around healing who you can, but there are a lot of more serious cases that probably need to be evac-ed. Taking note of your division's casualties, it's just shy of 150. Almost all your losses were due to Deidara.

"We've got a message from HQ." one ninja says, holding a piece of paper from a falcon. "Deaths are relatively low, but we have a huge number of injured. Our medical staff are completely overwhelmed. Anyone with any medical ninjutsu training that can be spared should be sent to camp to assist."

Several ninja from your division get up and get ready to leave.

>A.Join them

>B.Stay, you're too important here

>C.Ask Kakashi what to do

>D.Other

>>46152181
>>C.Ask Kakashi what to do
It's your show boss...Was Suigetsu's brother among those not caught? got any swords? I'm leaning towards checking the medics out can see if any friends are injured. Sage mode heals would make things quicker too.

>>46152181
>>B.Stay, you're too important here

>>46152181
>B.Stay, you're too important here

meditate and enter sage mode we are the only sensor here after all, just sit meditating until kakashi decides where to send us.

hang on in the Genjutsu world didn't we lean th white zetsu can shapeshift....oh fug are w sure all those injured are infact our side

>>46152181
>C.Ask Kakashi what to do

>>46152181
>C.Ask Kakashi what to do
I don't think there's actually much left for us to do here, but let's see

>>46152181
>C
CHAIN OF COMMAND IS KEY
>D
But seriously either place is going to have a shitstorm, maybe go sage mode from meditation and wander camp, see if we can sense Suigetsu.

>>46152181
>>B.Stay, you're too important here

>>46152181
>B.Stay, you're too important here

>>46152181

kakashi will know what is best, though something tell me we SHOULD GO to the medics

You enter Sage Mode just to sense around. The three remaining swordsmen are all across from you, unmoving. Suigetsu seems to have carved out his own little place nearby separate from the rest of you. After checking everything over, you decide to ask Kakashi's opinion.

"Kakashi Sensei." you call. "Should I go back to camp and help out? I mean, I'm assistant Division Commander. You might need me here. What do you want me to do?"

"To be honest with you Kon, I think we can manage without you." Kakashi answers. "Don't take that the wrong way, you would be extremely helpful, as you have been. But I get the feeling that you don't just want to help out on only one front. The entire rest of the army needs you as much as the Third Division. You could save a lot of people. So I think you should go. And tomorrow, I'm sure there's another front that will need your help. So trust us. We can cover the rest of things here. Besides, we've got a contingent of Fifth Division close by in case the worst happens. Go on. Good luck, Kon."

You do as Kakashi says, and join some other ninja with medical ninjutsu skills, taking your injured as you go.

You all head back to camp, as night falls on the first day of the Fourth Great Ninja War.

Thanks for running.

>>46152409
Ok cool, so how have we done in general casualties go better or worse than canon?

Have any of our friends had any intresting reanimation fights?

Is Snakenerd's interest in us as a person or purely kekki genki related? I mean aside from been on opposite sides we have both been very cordial and all.

We impress anyone is Kakashi happy with our actions?

Is Naruto on the field....and whom is headed to the leaf, we know someone is

>>46152409
Cheers Laze

>>46152454
The ASF have taken about 5000 casualties so far

Chouji had a giant fight with his dad

Kiba is still helping to fight Kimimaro. That battle hasn't resolved yet

He is interested in your kekkei genkai. Though he does have nothing against you personally, you're right

You impressed pretty much everyone and yes

He actually is not, his preparations are taking longer than expected

No one yet

>>46152530
huh... I thought the third would be hit the heaviest but apparently we lost practically no one.

>>46152530
Cool and thanks for running btw

So whom have we sealed on our front atleast? Im assuming the Zetsu are yet to show?

Looking at our casualties how manyish have we inflicted?

Where the former Jinchriki at?

Mizukage lost her mind yet?

Anything worth noting that's different from cannon happened?

Was Sui happy to see us? HQ having any fun?

>>46152630
On your front, you have sealed everyone but Mangetsu, Jinpachi, and Kushimaru. No Zetsu for you guys yet, but others have fought them

Madara's forces have lost about 40,000

They were fighting with Second Division

She's hanging on

Madara's new Paths causing some havoc. Other than that, mostly standard

He thinks you're a cool guy. They are cautiously optimistic

>Can't access suptg
Is it just me?

>>46152702
...wait so we have killed 40% of the enemy forces(ish) since thre was 100,000 zetsu and we lost like...5% I think...thats not to bad...

Anyone IDed which Akatski is which path yet?

Will our monkey mask be ready for a fight tomorrow.

Will we gt to pick where to head next or more orders?

Do you roll to determine how other peoples fights go? Where is Sasuke at?

Snake Douche sad we dealt with the hard counter really fast?

>>46152812
nope it's down.

>>46152812
No Laze i can't get in either.... The Fk?

https://boards.4chan.org/tg/thread/46151345/suptg-down#top

Thread about that.

>>46152814
Sasori is Asura. Kankuro had to fight him off while his unit retreated to you guys

Kisame is Preta. He wrecked tons of shit before noping the fuck out when Sasuke came to face him. He knows what Nature chakra does

None of the others have been sighted yet

He will

You will have a couple of options

No. He's with First Division

He's a bit disappointed

I think the Archive is live again now....

>>46153143
It is. We're good

>>46153166
If there is time for more QnA mind letting us know what swords we have got back? Has anyone made any leeway on Kabuto's location? Is mum inc after we dealt with Scorch Chick?

>>46152630
>>46152702
>Mizukage lost her mind yet?
Why would the mizukage lose her mind? I don't remember that.

>>46153208
We are talking about dealing with some oldie discussing dumb shit and grumbling about everything, the feudal lords.

She has th worst job...but also Black Zetsu to deal with

>>46153197
Omoi got gifted Kiba, the boltsword. Mangetsu nicked Kabutowari, the helmsplitter, just before Jinin got sealed, so he has it right now

Not yet

She is still a little ways off, don't you worry too much about that
