The next morning, you take the time to heal your party before moving forward. There weren't many injuries sustained at all, despite the chaotic events that unfolded. Kichiro was the one with the most damage, though he really did most of it to himself. Activating the First Gate always means some serious soreness for a while, but your Mystical Palm technique left him feeling fit enough to get walking.

Ai went off and caught some fish for breakfast, before everyone was awake. It was a bit of a group effort to get Shikadai to wake up, having to drag him out of the tent. He's probably not used to the strict way your squad operates.

The walk back is somewhat somber, but soon enough you're joking and laughing with your friends. The misty landscape never allows the tone to elevate past a certain point. The tension in the air was palpable, the roads desolate. There was a time only a year ago when trade was bustling in the Mist, and they'd been more prosperous than ever before in history.

During the breaks on your way back, you continue to read the books on Boil Release that you'd rented. While you completely fail at any attempt to manifest the element, you are getting a better understanding of chemistry. You note that Ai seems to be a bit quieter than usual, even. You're unsure how she feels about the situation with her brother. Do you want to approach her, or leave the topic for now?

>A. Approach her directly. Ask Ai if she feels alright about fighting her only brother.
>B. Try to be a little more subtle. Ask Ai if she'd like to train when you got back, and work out some stress
>C. Leave the topic until you return to the village. You can always visit her later.

She doesn't really seem to appreciate us being indirect in social situations.

mini, how long is Takeshi gonna be unmemorable to people. I mean at some point someone is gonna see the shit he has done and dealt with and once that happens i doubt they would forget him. The only way you could justify someone forgetting about person who not only survived a tail beast attack but also deals with an insane immortal doppelganger is if that he has kekki genkai that alters memories.

>>1238714
At the same time, do we want to have a big discussion while in the field?

>>1238732
We're more or less in the clear, making our way back with our mission more or less accomplished. I think we should ask now and if something comes up, we'll pick it up later.

>>1238727
People aren't really actively discussing your deeds. The tailed beast attack survival was primarily attributed to Hanto, but, in the report he noted that he wouldn't have been able to hold him off at all without your healing to close the wound he had.

As for dealing with the Jashinists, only mostly the Jounin know about your repeat encounters with them. The public don't really 'celebrate' anyone but the highest of tier ninja.

Even then, your work is supposed to be somewhat secret even if you're not ANBU. The less word spreads about the Jashinists, the better. Being famous isn't particularly good anyways, when you're someone who mostly relies on uncommon tricks.

>>1238727
What,anon? Are you trying to suggest mini could be a bad writer? No way!

>>1238744
All i am saying is if one more person goes, oh your that guy I will actually believe that Takeshi has the unknown hero ability from Medaka box.

Gift for Sarada, if we want to woo her: Hypnotic Gaze genjutsu

An extrapolation of the Suggestive Voice, a skilled genjutsu Specialist (Sharingan-skilled) can use this technique to implant a 'command in anyone they make eye-contact with. The complexity, subtlety, and duration of the jutsu are only limitted by the skill of the user. Additionally, a skilled enough user can throw all three out in favor of trying to Force the command to be followed. Longer-term, a master of the jutsu can, over the course of weeks or even months, stack hits of Hypnotic Gaze on a single target, slowly shifting their habits, beliefs, even loyalties, without ever being noticed.

>>1238826
You step on over with a smile, tapping her on the shoulder. The small girl looks up at you quizzically. Ai always seems to be sharply attentive, so much so that she tends to lose focus in social situations. Too wrapped up in her own thoughts, at times. You feel as though a direct confrontation right now could possibly lead to her closing up, so you attempt something a little more discreet to get a read on her. "Feel like sparring a little bit when we get back to the village? It could help to work out some stress."

As usual, she walks in silence for several steps. Likely considering her answer. For whatever reason, Ai always seems to totally ignore the cadence of a conversation. It's nothing you're not used to by now, you just smile patiently.

"Potentially. I would like a bit of alone time, though afterwards we could. I'm sure there are jutsu we could exchange."

Kichiro muscles between the two of you, grinning. "I bet you'll be exchanging more than that! MWAH MWAH MWAH"

Ai jumps up and palms his face, pushing him down to the ground before continuing her stride. Shikadai and you both laugh, and when he gets up, so is Kichiro. You suppose he has his own way of helping, too.

You note that she's grinning slightly, which might as well be an expression of sheer joy coming from her. It probably helps just to know that her friends care about her.

The trip back takes the rest of the day, but eventually you arrive at the village gates. Shikadai sighs as you all approach. "Well, I'm not sure whether or not we succeeded, but it sure was interesting. I've been on some pretty hairy missions before, but gotta say, I haven't fought a guy like that. I learned a lot, though."

Shikadai turns to your group, grinning. "The three of you are all pretty big loners, but you also work well as a group. Me and my team have always had to heavily rely on one another to be effective in combat. I think this experience is gonna help me be a better leader."

The guards let you all through, and you give him a thumbs up. "Well, that makes me feel a bit better. Things don't usually go south that quick, hehe. Maybe next time we'll get him."

He waves, heading back to his home. It's fairly early in the evening. "Maybe. See ya. I'll leave the report to you, since you're more experienced and all."

You frown. "I think all those compliments might have just been a lead up to that.."

>>1238826
Sharingan- The Anti-Genjutsu eye.

>>1238840

Kichiro chuckles, and slaps your back as he walks past. "He's right though, you're the bookworm! I gotta go home and check on my sister. Take it easy, guys."

Ai waves before turning to you. "You can come over tomorrow, in the afternoon. Goodnight."

You tell her goodnight.

You're standing at the gates of the village, a couple hours left in the day. You're pretty tired, so you don't really feel like reading or training. What do you want to do? You don't have to see Naruto yet. You'll write the report later tonight.

>A. Go on home and rest up. Your bro might be home.

Might as well see what she's come up with.

>>1238826
woops didn't mean to quote you anon

Is this a jutsu you found in the wiki or came up with? Either way seems neat. High level for you but most really powerful Genjutsu is.

Stage 3 Sharingan actually have a form of automatic hypnosis. Though what it exactly does is vague, it could be similar to this.

>>1238844
>B. Go to the weapon's shop and see Tenten
See whats new

>>1238840
I think I'd like to see Ai win the Bowl because it would probably involve everyone pushing them together like neutron stars.

>>1238844
>A. Go on home and rest up. Your bro might be home.

>>1238844
>>B. Go to the weapon's shop and see Tenten
Remember those wrist mounted senbon launchers Shizune used? Let's get some of those. We should also seal the fuma shuriken in a scroll, the things are too heavy.

>>1238844
>>B. Go to the weapon's shop and see Tenten

>>1238852
http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Kotoamatsukami

It's a very good genjutsu power, very scary stuff.

>>1238852
I have no clue if there's something already like this.

I got it from thinking about Alucard's hypnosis. Though that'd be an S-rank use of it, of course. At that level, you can just tell an enemy ninja to shank themself.

>>1238844
>D. Go to Ichiraku's and get something to eat

>>1238866
Oh shit, that is extremely high level. Not even Sasuke could learn this.

Seems to be unique to Shisui from what I understand, but it's possible that a genjutsu gifted Uchiha with a Mangekyou Sharingan could learn it. Or just someone with a Mangekyou in general.

>>1238890
Could we BS something to its effect? Kinda like Ai's psuedoshareingan.

>>1238897
Dammit, no. Hypnotic Gaze is already pushing it.

>>1238897
There's no way we're bullshitting what's essentially a kinjutsu. We're not a scientist, we can't even come up with new techniques on our level.

>At this point he doesn't care much, he recognizes you almost killed him so now his goal is getting refined from "Beat you in a fair fight" to "Beat you"

>His goal is to "Beat you"

Let that sink in for a second everyone. "Beat you". He doesn't care about his pride forcing a final destination confrontation anymore, he just wants us dead at his feet however he can make it happen. Are you ready for what comes next, for Shozoku willing to get the drop on us in any way possible? It begins, /qst/, and it begins now.

We need a water clones and water prison Jutsu combo. If we can get a water clone to just touch him once, we can have it utilize itself to become a water prison, leaving him helpless. This can either outright kill by drowning, or can stall him for a very long time as long as we have water clones sustain it, and if a water source is nearby, having them sustain it may be more cost effective than sustaining it ourselves, not to mention we would have both hands to use other jutsu, like temple of nirvana which could make him pass out while in the prison, ensuring a quick drowning. Water prison, if memory serves, is a B rank that would be plausible to learn with only two days study.

Another thing is we should get some tactical glasses Ten Ten could provide this . With all of the dirt, blood, acid, water lightning smoke and dust that get's thrown around every battle having something to keep our eyes protected and thus maintaining our focus and accuracy during intense moments could be a key factor, not to mention it would help us look stylish , which we desperately need.

>>1238897
Maybe with sage jutsu one day you could emulate a similar effect, but nothing so powerful as Shisui's actual technique.

Ai's technique is simply enhancing her reactions speeds heavily, but using it for too long damages the eyes. She primarily uses it to line up shots with the Chidori.

>>1238903
What if we figure out how to get the brain to release certain chemicals to simulate it, like oxycotone, serotonin, dopamine, vasopressin, ect.?

>>1238907
I feel our team is very good as is on single target elimination. If Ai was the one against Shozuku she would've ended him, we just didn't practice with our tanto enough. We need more offensive ninjutsu to get rid of the cult mobs he carries around.

>>1238924
Then, again, we would need to be a scientist, as well as a prodigy at medical ninjutsu. Or at least, we'd have to be friends with someone like that.

>>1238930
I agree mass destruction techniques would be useful and i think we should get some, but we don't have access to much fire or the only notable water destruction ninjutsu that we could get soon, AKA water dragon jutsu. Any other water destruction are WAY beyond us as far as i know, like Kisame's shark bombs and such.

Water prison would allow one target to be screwed with a touch, maybe not so absolute as chemical bomb, but it has much more versatility, and can be used for capture should that be needed, versatility is our thing after all.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qv7btgqaAGc

The shop should still be open, you think to yourself. It's not a long journey to the market center.

The city is as busy as ever, with people roaming around for the last hours of the day. They go about their business without a care in the world. The contrast to the Mist is as apparent as ever to you, and inside you can't help but feel a small twang of guilt. Not for any particular reason, you know it's not the common people's concern. The village is both fortunate and unfortunate. While it would be the obvious target of invasion, it's also true that the people living in it's walls will more or less always be prosperous. You suppose that's a risk that people just have to take, sometimes.

Of course, the guerilla nature of the attacks in the Mist mean that their hidden village is also probably under high security. Maybe even martial law, for all you know. Though, they likely wouldn't be too keen about releasing that type of information to news journalists. Thinking of all those people in the club, dancing their cares away, only serves to remind you how hard life is for the small towns on the countryside. Even your own little villages have their struggles.

A renewed sensation of duty helps to keep your spirits up. You'll always do your best to protect what you and your people have in this world, and no evil god is going to take away what Naruto and so many others worked to achieve.

Stepping through the doors to the weapon's shop, Tenten looks up from a catalogue. "Hey there! I'm glad you've stopped by. We recently finished that 'tactical' suit of yours. It's now navy blue, to actually be stealthy. You know, instead of frog green."

You chuckle. "Great, thanks. I'll be getting paid tomorrow, so I was wondering if there was any new stuff that you might have."

She nods. "Sure, take a look. I've got a few items I think you'd like."

Thankfully you didn't have to blow all your money on that bouncer when you bribed your way in.

Shit that >a was entirely accidental. Disregard that.

>>1238972
If we don't have any access to the good stuff yet, I want to spring for a couple of different hiding jutsus. We're relying on Haze Clone right now, and Hiding in Mist is good, but we've gotta preserve our ability to be an evasive bastard in a fight.

More than all that, though, I think we should practice social infiltration aka how to beat a henge test.

What about smoke projectors? Or rather, small pressurized cans of smoke that propel said smoke in a narrow cone quite fast for a small period time. It could be really usefull in a fight/infiltrating scenario.

>>1239015
Found it:

http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Vanishing_Facial_Copy_Technique

It's a disguise technique that isn't foiled by touch.
Trouble is, it doesn't change the clothes or uniform, requiring some planning before the switch. Keikaku+10.

"I'd like two scrolls to keep my Fuuma Shuriken in. I think it'd be a lot better than carrying them on my back."

Tenten nods. "Alright. You'll have to draw the seals yourself, but it's not all that hard really. I'll put some instructions inside the scrolls, how to do it and all that. I used to spend whole days packing weapons into scrolls!"

You grin. "That makes sense. I bet you used even more weapons than Mari does."

She nods. "Yeah, my daughter's got a quite a few advantages. Number one is having me as a mother! Though, if her dad were here I'm sure he'd argue otherwise."

"I wish I could've met Neji. We heard about him in school. The Hokage says that he was a really great shinobi."

Her face softens, she's likely looking back on fond memories. "Yeah, that's for sure. He had a funny way of looking at life sometimes. Destiny and all that crap. Damn Hyuga used to be pretty backwards before Lady Hinata took over."

"Right, the whole branch family thing. That was in our textbooks too."

Tenten nods. "It was certainly..strange. Is there anything else you needed?"

You think for a few moments. "Do you have any goggles I could buy? I keep getting blood and dirt in my eyes when I'm on the field, it's a big pain. There's also these cool things I saw in a magazine. Wrist mounted senbon launchers, of a sort."

"Stay right there, I'll be back in a jiffy."

She heads into the back room, and you step over and look at the tools of the Sage of the Six Paths hanging on the wall. The most impressive is the huge fan. It's said that any normal man wouldn't have nearly enough chakra to use it, but apparently Tenten is capable of wielding it deftly.

The store-owner comes back out as quick as she said she would, laying a pair of goggles on the table. "Here you go! These are pretty lightweight, should still let you see fairly easily. They don't particularly have any special functions, so they're pretty cheap."

She lifts up a box, and blows off the dust before setting it on the counter. "These, however, are some antique pieces of equipment. I'm surprised you knew about them, in fact. The only person I know who uses them is Lady Shizune. Just pull up the sleeves on your shirt, and fire away! It's generally a good idea to lace them with some sort of poison before you leave the house, as well."

You look at the simple bracers. "Is this stuff gonna cost a lot?"

She shakes her head. "The most expensive things are the scrolls."

You go ahead and purchase everything, putting it in a bag with your new blue spandex suit.

Is there anything you'd like to ask Tenten before you leave?

>A. Write-in
>B. Head home for the night

>>1239047
You've already got some smoke bombs, which are more or less the same

>>1239137
Ideas on sword training, we kinda whiffed it on a once in a lifetime shot.

>>1239137
>B. Head home for the night

>>1239144
It was less your lack of ability and more his mooks throwing themselves in front of the attack.

Still not a bad idea though, you're mediocre without the sheath.

>>1239137
>>A. Write-in
Antiques, huh? I thought they'd be more useful than individually poisoning senbon. What supplanted them?

>>1239144
>>1239137
>B. Head home for the night

People keep saying we whiffed it, but we used the jet sheath for maximum kill power and were simply stopped by an enemy from outright killing him, and we just gravely wounded him instead. It was said it was simple luck, having another .5 in ken/taijutsu wouldn't have changed that. That said, training to use our sword is fine, but don't think that's the reason we didn't kill Shozoku. If you want to train with swords, let's see if Ai has any compatible jutsu for weapons and learn that and train.

>>1239176
He was stuck and helpless for 3 seconds. If we can't kill a man in that amount of time we need to work on our lethality, period.

>>1239141
Neato

You know what we should've picked up? Wire strings. You know those cool moves Sasuke did where he tied people down at range and them set them on fire? That could've been us.

>>1239137
>A. Write-in
Let Mari know we said hi

>>1239144
>>1239153
"Antiques? I figured that they'd be pretty useful. What replaced them?"

She grins, wide. "Simply put, most people aren't good enough to use them. Senbon generally require a high amount of accuracy to do any real damage, and firing from a strange position like that doesn't help a whole lot. With your various poisons and medical knowledge, I bet you could put it to use. It takes a special skill set, is all. Hey, maybe you should ask Lady Shizune to teach you how to use them! She's a pretty damn good medical ninja."

"Right, thanks. I'll find her and ask sometime soon. By the way, I was wondering if you might be able to tutor me in some swordplay a little bit. I've been running into an enemy who uses a katana, and while the sheath helps a lot, I'd like to work on some fundamentals."

Tenten leans forward on the counter. "Always a good idea! Not sure if I'll have the time, though. Stop by when you can and we'll see if we can work something out. I'm getting ready to close up tonight, though."

"Okay. Oh, tell Mari I said hi, too."

"Sure thing. Hey, maybe she could show you! She'll be working here for the next few days, so I'm sure she'd appreciate a break."

You give her a thumbs up. "Sounds great! Good night."

You head home, the night sky completely dark. The various lights of the city tend to somewhat dilute the stars, but you keep your eyes on them anyways as you walk. You only bump into a pole once.

When you enter your house, you find that your brother's fast asleep on the couch, sprawled out from watching TV. You know it helps him sleep, so you leave it on for the noise. It also blocks out a bit of his snoring, for you.

You head to bed, and wake up ready for the day.

The only things you have to do today is report to Naruto at some point, and meet Ai in the afternoon. You could also go see Mari, but she'll be available for several days.

>B. Find Kichiro and ask him to teach you some fire jutsu

>A. Go to the training field and practice Boil Release some more

chemical ninja a go-go.

>>1239250
>C. Find Roku, and see if he could teach you a Water Jutsu

You mean Rokuro, a water using genin Kichiro fought, or Roku the medical nin?

And Roku needs to teach us the rock lee taijutsu lesson he OWES US.

>>1239302
Roku. Roku also uses the water element, actually.

He combines water and medical ninjutsu to create those blood-based techniques.

i wonder, in the magical world of naruto, if it is possible to gt an magical acid that acts like yo-yo ma from jojo, a type of acid that will only dissolve humans and coat out senbons in the stuff.

>>1239343
Strange. What's the limitation for?

>>1239250
>A. Go to the training field and practice Boil Release some more

I want to see his face when we can counter his dragon

>>1239250
>A. Go to the training field and practice Boil Release some more

>>1239355
so stuff like our senbons won't melt or become dull due to an acid dissolving it, also if it only works on humans we could pull of some real tricks, like putting it into a lake and having a bunch of ninja try to pull of the water walking technique only for their legs to start dissolving ( if it's possible to make the acid via boil release or something).

>>1239401
That's an interesting thought, although I think the acid would be diluted enough by that much amount of water.

>>1239446
True, but i am just brainstorming ideas. They all aren't gonna be good and a lot of them will probably have many flaws but that's what so great about quests, if your idea has a flaw people will point it out and in some cases even help you with the idea.

>>1239446
>Implying we wouldn't replace the lake water entirely with clear human desolving acid (that we are immune to) before an encounter ever happens just to gain an advantage.

Someday

>>1239468
That's fine. I like to do it as well.

Tangent: I was looking over Shizune's stats in the game, and we're almost identical in build. If we made this last mission we would've made jonin for sure.

>>1239486
I'm not sure we could've killed Shozoku without letting several civilians be offed, which is exactly what Naruto told us to prevent.

Could we have though Mini? Could we have killed him AND saved the majority of the civs if we played our cards right? (And our allies.)

>>1239499
Nah, he's endgame. We're just moving to filler villains after this.

It's early morning, a deep chill hanging over the entire village. You strap on your jacket and head out.

You keep reading the book on Boil release on your way to the training field. When you arrive, it's mostly empty, so you decide to try to get to work on some more difficult stuff.

Honestly, you just want to be able to do it. While you don't think much of Shozuku for his wild personality, there's no denying one simple fact. He was able to master Boil release at such a young age, and he didn't even have a whole village of friends to support him through it.

You've had countless blessings and advantages in your own way, but an extreme work ethic has always been the core of your results. Now, here, the universe is telling you that it was all for nothing. That a single person born with a knack can overcome anyone, no matter the training or feelings behind it. You've always known that just getting up after being knocked down isn't enough to win a fight.

Thinking back, you recall the time you stood up against Boruto when your Underdog seal activated. At that time, it seemed like that simple act was enough to shatter what everyone thought of you. After taking the most powerful jutsu he knew, unlike all the others, you were able to get up again. But now, with your current foe, getting hit once means a certain death sentence. You have to go above, beyond, yet again.

Kneeling in the grass, your mind tries to wrap itself around the possibilities in front of you. In some way, you've always had an essence of fire burning deep inside of you. Combining that with the fluidity and adaptability of water means an entire new world of possibilities, if you can master it. But how!?

Time and time again, you use the Water Bullets Jutsu and try to mix your Fire chakra into it. You use your understanding of chemistry to it's fullest, but fail continually. The only thing you get out of it is lukewarm water, and an hour of effort does nothing to bring you closer to success. Frustrated, you pound your fist once into muddy earth.

>>1239510

Flecks of dirty water splash against your face, and suddenly, you're given a bit of inspiration. Fire Jutsu were no easier the very first time. Staring down at that leaf, you could hardly make it smolder. With the careful application of standard practices, advice from your allies, and weeks of work, you managed to do it. But you had to start small. After the Leaf, it was just heating a senbon. Even then, you could hardly breath fire before you Sensei Hanto taught you a more efficient method.

There isn't anyone in the village who knows Boil release, but you can apply these same standard practices to it. Why wouldn't you be able to? Your mind reels, examining the totality of information that you know about Boil. Dots start to connect as you stare down into the muddy earth. There's a jutsu that the Mizukage knew to breath an acid mist. Water vapor turned into acid.

You move over to a dry spot hurriedly, and cross your legs. Though you've used a lot of chakra, you still have at least enough energy for this. You do the handsigns for the Hidden Mist Jutsu, adding a tiger seal at the end to mold some fire chakra.

You're only going to create a tiny, localized ball of mist. That's the idea, anyways. You're not exactly sure what's going to happen, but ideally, you'd make steam.

The effort required shocks you. In fact, you have to use every last ounce of chakra you have left to fuel the technique. Your underdog seal flares, activating and saving you from unconsciousness. If it wasn't for the seal, attempting this technique would have drained you from all your energy and left you helpless in the training field. It would have hidden the results of your technique from you.

Instead, you see the mist form directly in front of your face. It's not a neon green shade of acid, nor is it a boiling hot vapor. The color is an off white, barely indistinguishable from normal mist. You trace your hand through it, just the fingertips, and rub them together.

Your fingers are slick.

Soap?

SOAP?

You stand up, and yell. "SOAAAP!!"

You throw your fists into the air, yelling at the top of your lungs. "I DID IIIIIT!"

"I MADE SOOOAAAP!"

>>1239514


Your mind recalls your moment of victory over Boruto, and though there is no roaring crowd, you feel just as ecstatic. To most, the off-color vapor in front of you has no meaning at all. It's nothing, not even a technique. But to you, it's the foundation of the rest of your life, it's self affirmation.

Again and again, your fists strike the air. Your complete lack of energy means nothing to you as you leap all around, achieving the most important victory of all. The only one that matters to you. Not victory over your opponent, but over your own limits. Hard work is a talent all to it's own. It's only with all the work that you've done over the course of your life that you reached this moment. Months spent working at what to others, might have been an empty, pointless effort.

It takes you a few minutes to calm down, and you immediately want to get to work on practicing the technique even more. However, there's some investigation to be done with it. You need to go to the Academy and see if the teachers will let you use a chemistry set, so you can test what exactly the properties of this soapy mist you've invested are.

Your skin crawls with excitement, and you kneel down and giggle quietly to yourself. "Hehehehe..I've invented a jutsu!"

Where do you want to go, for now?

>A. Go see Naruto and give your report
>B. Go get something to eat at Ichiraku's
>C. See if you can find your sensei Hanto, and tell him about the technique you're working on.
>D. Write-in

>>1239520
>>A. Go see Naruto and give your report

Work first, then Ichiraku's. Put on your solemn face on for your Hokage.

>>1239520
>C. See if you can find your sensei Hanto, and tell him about the technique you're working on.
Let's see if we can workshop this. ASk if he knows anything about chemistry, or anyone else than knows about chemistry.

....Well... I'll be goddamned. TAKESHI YOU CRAZY SON OF A GUN YOU DID IT, YOU ACTUALLY STARTED BOIL RELEASE.

God i thought we wouldn't even SEE results prior to the time skip.

>>1239520
>A. Go see Naruto and give your report

Then we train with Ai, then get a chemistry set, and begin the madness.

>>1239520
Literally the slipperiest ninja of our generation.

I want to see someone's reaction to Takeshi doing stuff like being able to use the boil release, they will probably just look at him and think what even are you. I mean come on he been learning about this stuff for a few months and all ready he has learned some basic elemental jutsus of his opposite element, now starting a mixture of said element and his natural.

>soap release
well that was anticlimactic, hopefully it has some interesting uses down the line

>>1239574
>we coat Shozuku in soap to neutralize his acid release jutsu
>we turn him into a literal basic bitch

>>1239520

>D. Hope nobody saw you raving about making soap like a lunatic or something.

>D. Nah, on second thought you made fucking soap, all y'all motherfuckers can just deal! YOU MADE SOAP! FUCK YEAH!

You mean besides the fact that soap is an entire league above anything a ninja normally prepares for in terms of terrain?

>>1239582
Bases (which soap is) neutralize acid, also strong bases are even worse than strong acids to deal with, since they cause skin and flesh break down, but not fat, so everything gets real slippery and fucking hard to get off, even as it eats you. Also we can set it on fire for napalm.

>>1239607
Oh god, Takeshi is gonna become the equivalent of an alchemist bomber in tabletops.

>>1239621
hey wait, don't those guys suck?

>>1239607
why stop at napalm when we can have dynamite

>>1239628
i meant in concept, in terms of effectiveness, well I'll let Takeshi's life choices speak about how useful he could be with those abilities.

>>1239582
In addition to everything else everyone has said i want to say one thing.

TRY MAKING NINJA SEALS WHEN YOUR HANDS SLIP TOGETHER AND WON'T FORM JUTSU PROPERLY. AHAHAHAHA

>>1239641
Oh damn, Napalm, Dynamite, Hard countering ALL of Shozoku's shit, alcohol clouds, dynamically fucked terrain, we can really fuck people up.

>Everyone stops for a second as a giant white soap dragon forms

The excitement dies down after a little while, though only because you're so tired. Whatever that technique was, you're going to have to seriously refine it if you want to get some use out of it.

That's for later, though. Once you manage to wipe the grin off your face, you take out the scroll that you've gone ahead and written your report on. Taking a brief glance over it, you think about how you want to explain the situation to Naruto.

After reviewing it, you head on out. The sun is shining, and all the feelings of regret and guilt that you've been dealing with are totally washed away. It's almost as if a great burden you didn't realize you were carrying has been lifted. Thoughts of all your friend's faces as you tell them what you've done makes you grin even more.

Soon enough, you find yourself at the Hokage's office. The assistant smiles as you approach. "Hello, Takeshi. Here to report on your mission?"

You nod. "That's right. Is he in right now?"

She chuckles. "Sure is. He's as busy as ever, though. I think he might be getting slogged down in all the paperwork, so I'm sure he'll be happy to see you for a second."

She lets you on through, and you open up the doors to see stacks of paper all around. There's even more clones than before, and it seems as if the paper rises high enough to make little forts in some places. You're unsure if it's piled up so much because of all the recent trouble, or if Naruto's just bad at paperwork. It's probably a combination of both. From what you understand, the Hokage was never known for his bureaucratic skills.

He looks up from behind a wall of paper, and waves. "Takeshi! Thank goodness, I was hoping someone would come by so I could take a break?"

You chuckle. "Actually, I came to deliver the report on my mission."

Though you can't see him, you presume he's folding his hands into his face from behind the paper. "Uggghhh. Just set it on my desk, I'll take a look at it later. Just give me the short version for now, please."

You think for a moment. "Alright. Well, the mission wasn't really too much of a success I think. We didn't find any information on Jashinists captains, but, that's mostly because we ran in with the leader himself."

Naruto stands up. "What!? He was right out in the open!?!?"

He mimes tearing his hair out in frustration, though you can see he's not actually hurting himself. "I hate this guy!! Who does that!? If I'd have known he was just sitting in the club, I'd have sent a team of Jounin!"

>>1239745


You laugh, sheepishly. "Sorry we weren't able to beat him. We managed to destroy the club and reduce civillian deaths, though. A couple of people were injured, and I'm not exactly sure what the aftermath looked like. When the Mist shinobi started to arrive, we were leaving. I figured it was best not to get mixed up in some sort of international affair, considering the situation over there.."

Naruto's head hits a stack of paperwork, and he groans. "It's not your fault. It's mine. Time and time again, I keep thinking we can predict their movements, but either they do something completely crazy, or they get an edge on our intelligence. We tightened up security and got them out of the country, but even then.."

You frown. "Well, I wouldn't blame yourself too much. The leader seems kind of crazy, I mean, to the point where he puts himself in danger. I wrote about in the report, but it seems to me he's only gotten this far through intimidation, raw talent, and threatening the right people. Lots of luck, too."

Naruto nods. "Right. Thank you. Was there anything else you needed?

>A. Ask/tell Naruto something else
>B. That's all, Lord Hokage

>>1239755
>>A. Ask/tell Naruto something else
dood

Soap no jutsu

>>1239755
>A. Ask/tell Naruto something else

Giddily whisper to Naruto that you learned boil release, then tell him about the soap. Show it to him if he wants to see it.

>>1239755
>>A. Ask/tell Naruto something else
He REALLY hates me, and seems to have instructed his cultists to target me first. He will probably strike at my freinds or family to get to me or attack me during a mission. He seems obsessed with being the strongest, and the fat I keep dealing him wounds and fight like a regular shinobi seems to draw his ire. In short I think I would make good bait. Also I figured out boil release. I made soap.

>>1239755
>A. Ask/tell Naruto something else
"I'm heading down to Ichiraku's. Want to come along?"

We're gonna get sick watching him eat, but it's worth it.

>>1239755
>A. Ask/tell Naruto something else

I have successfully made my first steps into learning the Boil Release

>1239755
>A. Ask/tell Naruto something else
>>1239773
Also this but leave out the bait part.

>>1239770
You're unable to do it right now, unfortunately. The rough version you did earlier was only a tiny puff, and it completely drained you of all remaining energy. Without your seal you'd have never even realized you did it. Feel free to tell him though

>>1239778
>>1239773
Adding taking the Hokage to eat because fuck the man has earned it.

>>1239755
>>A. Ask if Naruto wants to go grab something to eat at Ichiraku's. He could use a break.

>A. Ask/tell Naruto something else
The leader seems to show disregard for everything else when i am involved and will probably try to get to me in anyway possible.

>>1239790
I'll throw my vote behind this. (And maybe after eating we could get enough chakra back to try again.)

>>1239755

>A. Ask the Hokage about useful ways to use soap in combat.

This is Naruto. If he hasn't figured out pranks utilizing soap, I'll eat my hat.

>>1239820
I hope so, we've got Ai to meet as well. I'm not going to want to imagine our intestines tomorrow if we pop soldier pills on top of oodles of ramen.

"Ah, well, there was something else that wasn't in the report. A recent development, you could say.."

You scratch your cheek, and grin widely. Naruto looks up, surprised. "Hm? What's this?"

"I've discovered a small way to use Boil Release."

Naruto jumps over his desk, knocking a stack of papers over. Clones behind him pick it up while grumbling angrily. "You WHAT!? You mean like Shozuku can do? You've made acid??"

You smile innocently. "Well, not quite. I'm not combat ready at all, either, but I was able to produce soap using fire nature chakra and water nature chakra. Well, more like a soapy mist."

Naruto blinks, his face going completely blank. "Eh? Soap?"

You nod. "Yeah!"

He sighs, and straightens up. "Huh, well I guess that could be useful. Make people slip. Strange, the only ninja I've heard of using soap techniques was uh...well. Huh. You're saying you came up with this all on your own? I've always known boil release to primarily be used for steam or acid. I think there was a Jinchuriki who used bubbles in some fashion, but it wasn't quite soap."

You give him a thumbs up. "That's right! This is a Takeshi original! It's better than you might think too, Lord Hokage. Soap isn't just soap, it's a base!"

He blinks at you. "Ah, yes, of course!"

You stare up at him for a few moments longer.

The room is quiet.

"You don't know what that is, do you?"

He frowns. "Don't tell anyone about this please."

You laugh heartily, and smile. "I'll explain it to you in a moment. How about we go get some Ramen to celebrate, huh?"

Naruto smiles. "That sounds great. I could use a break anyway. You know, I figured you were going to be something special Takeshi. Right from the moment you beat Roku in the Chunin Exams, I knew you weren't just an average shinobi."

Clones behind him grumble. "This is bullshit, we have to stay here and work while he goes to eat ramen??"

Naruto turns around. "Hey, be quiet! We should go before they get too rowdy."

The two of you walk outside the office, and you fold your hands behind your head, smiling. "You know, that's what makes it feel so great, Lord Hokage. I am just an average shinobi!"

That's all for tonight folks. I'll be here to answer any questions you might have, for a bit.

Next time I'll be running is Wednesday night, at 7 PM.

>>1239879
thanks for running

>>1239879
Didn't tell him about Shozoku being at least partially obsessed with us?

>>1239889
You'll explain it more as you're eating Ramen with him, next thread. It's also in the report a tad bit.

>>1239879
Today was tight. Feel good, don't stress out.

>>1239879
Thanks as always for running Mini. Fucking fantastic that we made a new jutsu.
Are we gonna be able to add a lemony fresh scent to our bubbles? Is soap dragon a possibility in the future as well? If we get a large enough chakra pool, can we start mass producing cleaning supplies as a way to supplement our income?

>>1239887
>>1239895
>>1239898
Hope everyone had a good time.

Soap dragon is within the realm of possibility. Next couple of threads are mostly going to be training, and exploring your new ability.

You could make takeshi brand soap at some point, but it'd likely be far too difficult to mass produce. I suggest getting impressionable young adult males to make your soap for you, in abandoned housing.

friend reaction to Takeshi making a new justsu and the fact that it is soap based.

>>1239916
Are we gonna be able to produce solid soap? I just wanna nail Shozuku with a bar of soap, but it could be more useful than that.

>>1239930
You'll be able to see people's reactions as you tell them about it when you meet them. I'm sure you can imagine the varieties of shock

>>1239933
You probably won't be able make solid soap until you get good with it. Could take you quiet a while, for now you're fairly restricted to liquids or vapors.

>>1239879
>Clones behind him grumble
Clone rebellion when?

>>1239951
wasn't that a thing already?

>>1239916
If we cover someone in soap, and their hands get all slippery, would it make it so that they couldn't form hand seals right, considering the precision required with them? Could we effectively temporarily shut down a ninja from using most jutsu?

>>1239947
soapy rasengan when

>>1239947
Could we make a liquid base that eats people? Or Alcohol mist jutsu?

>>1239879
>Boruto sees us eating dinner with his dad
>Asks the clone he's with why that clone is dealing with Takeshi
>Clone tells him that that's the real Naruto and puffs into smoke
>Himawari and Hinata both take turns on our dick as Boruto cries in the streets

>>1239976
Hinata is NARUTOSEXUAL man. We're not him so never had a chance.

>>1239916

So, water techniques are easier to use when there's a source of water around. Is the same true of soap? Should we start carrying some with us?

We should probably start carrying some with us. Yes.

>>1239998
>Takeshi drops the soap
>He not gay he just made a bomb that could take out a city block.

>>1239990
>Implying a need to spite Boruto isn't stronger than trivialities like sexual preference

>>1240037
It is for monofocused Hinatatas. Himawari is enough regardless.

>>1239976
I'd pay mini to make it happen

The fuck is wrong with you?

This quest is pure, and Mini won't stoop to doing stupid shit like that.

If you really want to see it so bad, write it yourself or have someone else do it.

On another note, i thought Boruto made it out of being a little shit, and into the bro zone, why do that to him?

>>1239951
It's happened a few times already

>>1239958
Potentially

>>1239963
Maybe one day, Naruto did a Lavasengan at one point after all.

>>1239964
Yes and yes

>>1239998
not particularly, you have to make it yourself in order to have the desired effects properly take place.

>>1240047
I can't be bought, sorry anon!

>>1240069
Is the technique Roku is willing to teach us from Lee the first gate? If not, could we potentially learn it anyway from Rock lee?

I'd like to at least get to the second gate, so that we can go explosive on the offense and then heal ourselves at the end.

>>1239916
all this soap stuff reminds me of fight club

can anyone imagine planting a genjutsu of a dick pic inside Shozoku's head just to stop him for a split second? it worked for naruto against kaguya

>>1240068
I wouldn't pay to make something like that happen. It needs to happen naturally, and with accordance with the plot.

Boruto will always be a little shit, even if he respects us. He needs to be humbled further. Be knocked down entirely before rebuilding.

>>1240068
He cheated against Shikadai. He's got Naruto's stubbornness with a cock mongler personality.

>>1240111
>He needs to be humbled further
Not by fucking his mom though anon, his sister though... Will never happen because anons have never built up the required social links.

>>1240114
He's a punk, but he's starting to grow into a less volatile punk, and if things go a certain way we might spend time with him for an entire timeskip in which we help him deal with his attitude problem.

>>1240145
to be fair, we'd have to be ridiculously good for any clan head to allow a non-clan ninja to marry into their special bloodlines.

>>1240091
He might be, later on. At the moment you're far below the requirements.

He actually doesn't know the first gate himself though, so I should say that someone else could teach you. Like Kichiro or Hanto.

>>1240155
So, were getting really close to Naruto, how close are we to being his errand boy? Think he'll ever invite us for dinner?

>>1240195
Maybe one day in the future. Not likely before part 1 of the quest ends, too busy for him to eat usually.

He does really like you, though

>>1240223
Ok cool...
So Himawari, we haven't heard from her in a while.
Since we didn't get to see our friends summon can you tell us or will that come up later.
In guessing Shikadai got Rat and Kichiro got Tiger.

>>1240243
Whoops some i meant to get rid of that first part.
My question was gonna be about Himawari, and her development but its whatever and as relevant as anyone else's so meh.

>>1240243
>>1240258
I'll go ahead and tell you since it was just going to be a short comedy scene.

Shikadai's summon has actually already been introduced. He signed his mother's contract, with the weasels.

Kichiro has the rats. He would have attempted the summon only to get a useless little mouse.

>>1240266
Old boy Kichiro is gonna be a ratman.
That's the greatest plot twist all thread.

Weasels are pretty fitting for Shikadai. I love how much both of his lineages come together in is combat style. Im a real sucker for that shit. That's why I like Mari and Sadara so much, and why im more invested in Himawari that the other Z tier girls.

>>1240069
Could we make stronger bases in the future? Or steam?

>>1240266
When will himawari become obsessed with us like her mom with naruto?

we're pretty close to early-ish naruto in terms of personality. like after zabuza naruto

>>1240266

So Ai will get the Tigers?

>>1240304
Certainly, with time you could do everything that you've seen and much more.

Boil Release is actually hugely versatile.

>>1240312
Depends on a few things, won't say what though

>>1240314
Nah. Someone else you know has tigers as a secret weapon.

>>1240314
She will get Dogs or Wolf prob'ly.
It fits her better in the end.

>>1240314
>Himawari is still possible for waifu
Welp there goes my plans for the night.

Also how's Ai doing.
Her story is really heartwarming, and im really starting to feel responsible for her development as a person.
I think she needs some family in her life you know,. Going home to an empty house and eating alone after the shit she when through-oh i just wanna hug her.

>>1240321
If Himawari get's obsessive over Takeshi i think that'll seal the deal for a lot of anons, and it would be funny to see history repeat itself in a sense, especially if we become hokage or some other great leader or such.

Guessing It's Mari. I hope It's Mari. Yasu would fit too, but i think It's Mari.

>>1240321
I must admit though, I'm disappointed that our squad didn't get the summons we chose not to get, i guess now we'll never get to see the Ai of the tiger.

>>1240467
Hoho, I've thought of a lot of Ai based puns but that one skipped me anon, good one.

>>1240473
Both threads archived because Goddammit Mini and Goddammit Misarchiver

Start being more responsible before i crash Konoha with no survivors

It will be extremely painful
. for you.

>>1240508
Oh jeez you're right, sorry, I forgot about that.

I'll start doing it early, not many threads left anyways.

>mention wanting to make a Soap release ninja quest
>Takeshi's first use of Boil is soap
Well there goes that then. Not mad though, mini will do a great job.

I suggest we do something like Caesar from JoJo and find ways to supress enemies by placing them inside a bubble, placing bubbles in the air as mines (they could hold something else inside, maybe?), and do other shenanigans.

>inviting Naruto to eat ramen
Thank god he has a lifetime pass, or we'd be broke

So what is Takeshi's trademark soap fragrance gonna be? I'm personally down for strawberry.

>>1240620
Extra normal

>>1240620
Gotta go with classic Lemon

>>1240627
I'm a fan of lemon personally

but you know what, strawberry is good too

maybe strawberry lemonade for the girls

>>1240632
Wait...can we make strawberry lemonade with boil release? How versatile is this shit?

>>1240633
I meant strawberry-lemonade scented soap

It is very versatile, regardless. Anons have all posted lots of valid ideas in this thread

>>1240635
Whatever the case, I'm glad Takeshi actually has use for chemistry textbooks now. Shit's gonna be fun to brainstorm about.

>>1239514
>"I MADE SOOOAAAP!"
Mother of fucking god takeshi, you may have just made a base that saponified your figners.

>>1240639
Welp, read through the rest of the thread. Takeshi gets base release.

Mini, was this inspired by our discussions about possible uses of bases in boil release, or was it cooked up beforehand.

>>1240649
I think it's more that our Base Release neutralizes Shozuku's Acid Release. Keeping in line with how we're kinda polar opposites.

>>1240653
Either way I'm quite happy.

On another note, Takeshi will now be the cleanest ninja in existence.

>>1240649
>>1240653
I did intend for you guys to get Boil release in the form of bases from very early on, since I introduced Shozuku more or less.

As for the polar opposite bit, this is true, but you guys are also the same in many many ways. It's more the situations surrounding you are opposites.

I'll go into more detail about it over time. Boil release was perfect for this, because you guys could technically still have the same element but be opposite with it.

>>1240665
So are we gonna be able to request some Jonin to come on our next mission? We seem to have a knack for getting into fights with the final boss of the Jashinists and heavy hitters would be very helpful.

>>1240666
a Jonin is coming with you on your next mission, yes. Your sensei Hanto

>>1240672

Hey Mini, does Takeshi wear those retarded ninja sandals that everybody else seems to love?
If he does, can we change to something that doesn't invite bullshit to the bottom of our feet, like boots or some tabi?

>>1240778
Fuck off, we're not a real ninja without the ninja sandals

>>1240782
Ninja sandals are dumb and everybody else is dumb for wearing them in the field. Especially when boots exist.

>>1240778
Nah you got boots on

Gotta protect your toes

>>1241007
So how did Naruto react to Takashi explaining what a base is and how it works against an Acid

>>1241081

"Whut?"

>>1241081
>>1241234
Naruto is not a smart man.

>>1241081
We will see next time, anon. Naruto going from elated that Takeshi can use Boil to stonefaced that he made soap is classic Naruto humor and I think it's my favorite moment in a while.

>>1241081
Takeshi should use a fire and water analogy, they can both kill you in different ways if exposed to too much of them, but if you put them together they fizzle out and become harmless. It's about the safest way to explain it to Narutard.

That reminds me, Naruto - nine tails + explosion release would have been a trippy as hell quest.

>>1240789
Kishimoto actually admitted in an interview that the only reason they wear them is because he likes drawing toes.

>>1241720
footfags, not even once

>>1241740
kek. So will the Mist hear about this after the fact? How annoyed were they about JUST missing a chance to take the Jashinists down a peg?

>>1241750
The Mist is actually wary about raiding compounds, considering it's possible they could use the footage to spin it as another attack on the rebels. Naruto's going to be sending them the report soon, but at the moment they have no idea what the hell happened at the club, other than that there were very few civilian casualties and the building was destroyed. They chased off Shozuku with little issue mostly, he'd spent a large amount of chakra on his Human Bomb jutsu.

>>1241771
If it were entirely up to you, who would you rather you see us go on a training timeskip with, Nart or Sauce?

Explaining why is optional.

>>1241786
You won't answer this will you.

>>1241799
Not until after we make the choice.
How is everyone feeling about the choices to come?
Im starting to get that one Anon’s point about having a stationary lab in the village to study Boil, but i still maintain that Sausage is the better choice for the overall benefits, and character development purposes.

>>1241786
>>1241799
>>1241819
For me? It's Naruto

it'll make certain story things have more impact. The same is true with Sasuke, just different things.

>>1241832
Huh. Any reason why? At least that you're willing to say? Also White(color of death but a good guy color of purity) vs. an acerbic green (typically representing disease and being a bad guy color almost unilaterally.)

Can you foreshadow any harder?

>>1241946
Probably not, I've tried to hit every point I could think of.

As for why, can't really say.

>>1242027
Next thread when?

mini, in an earlier thread Takesgi thought bout how one day everyone will surpass him and he will become useless, is that a possibility for this quest, that if we don't train as much as we will become essentially the weakest ninja.

>>1242075
Why would we not train as much?

>>1242071
Tomorrow at 7

>>1242075
It's a possibility, sure. But you smartly tend to use all your time working.

Talent gives immediate returns, and a clear path upwards. But your hard work has resulted in lots of grinding, coming towards an inevitable crescendo from combined experience and knowledge.

If you slacked off at all, you wouldn't have been able to unlock Boil.

>>1242085
Would boil be more powerful/give us more versatility if we buckle down and study chemistry?

>>1242089
Certainly. Hell, you basically have to, in order to understand what you've currently made and what exactly the effects are.

>>1242092
Hmmmm, who among our contacts has the most knowledge on chemistry? Who could we conceivably have help us the most in understanding/coming up with more techniques?

>>1242102
One more thing in favor of Sasuke. Dude spent three years hanging out with Orochimaru and married Sakura. On the other hand Naruto doesn't know what soap is made of.

>>1242152
Several things against Sasuke

Why would he learn any chemestry from Orochimaru?

How does being married to a doctor give you any medical knowledge?

Having a mobile workspace would kill any attempts at learning chemistry, thereby hurting Boil release.

Nalt isn't the only teacher here, the main reason I'm for B, is because we get to stay in Konoha.

>>1242152
>and married Sakura.
You say that like he's smart.

>>1242177
>>1242176
He's smarter than Naruto. And there's no way he didn't pick things up. You think he let Orochimaru fill him full of ninja steroids without knowing what they were? His whole deal is instant learning! HE HAD OROCHIMARU'S SOUL INSIDE HIM! HE CAN CANONICALLY SEE MOLECULES!

>>1242192
>You think he let Orochimaru fill him full of ninja steroids without knowing what they were?
Yes. That's literally what he did when he left.
>His whole deal is instant learning!
His whole deal is instant memorization. Just because you know how to do something doesn't mean you know the mechanics behind it. He could memorize a piano number, but he wouldn't know how to read sheet music, let alone make anything original.
>HE CAN CANONICALLY SEE MOLECULES!
I can see buildings. I don't know how to build them though.

mini, even though there have been waifu wars, how in the 7 circles o hell are you gonna write a romance plot for Takeshi, you know the guy to busy improving himself to ever really think about anything else.

>>1242244
Most of them would probably pursue us in some form.

>>1242176
Reminder B team was Sauske team.

>>1242192
I think your giving him more credit than he deserves. Sauske may be smarter than Naruto but i dont think he knows advanced chemistry or can see molecules.

Things are looking pretty dim for B team. Guess i should have seen that coming, but hey it's Mini we are talking about here. I'm sure we won't truly know what's what until we get there, but i can say one thing for sure.

Whoever can better equip us to use Boil release, has already won.
Unless of course they both provide equally viable methods to study it, in which case its up in the air.

>>1242244
He's just gonna wake up one morning at his wedding and be really confused on how he married Shikadai without noticing

>>1242258
Oh yeah. Sorry.

>>1242261
Nah, Shikadai's noble family would not allow him to marry a no name ninja gay. We'd be his mistress.

>>1242289
The Nara clan? The same clan who doesn't have a motto because making one was effort? I can't see them caring

>>1242244
It's probably going to be difficult for you to have a "normal" relationship at any point. Things are going to be changing.

>>1242424
Tell me... Can love bloom on the battlefield?

>>1242424
how are things gonna change?

>>1242435
potentially

>>1242437
drastically

>>1242497
So are Kichiro and Ai going to try and get their own dual natured releases?

>>1242519
Nah, they'll work on advancing what they have.

>>1242560
So is the "final" mission just going to be the original squad 13 VS Shozuku?

Takeshi, the worlds first soap ninja, they laugh at him now but when an entire squad of ninja go missing and all that can be found is goop and fat tissue they won't be laughing then.

Don't you know Anon?
Mr. Clean gets it done.

>>1242598
you son a bitch, this hurt my sides for two minutes.

>A town is found totally devoid of life
>No rats, no crows, no plants, no cockroaches, no people
>On the plus side it is incredibly clean and move in ready!

>>1242579
Don't forget that weak concentrations of bases have a delayed corrosive effect. So even people who just get a small exposure and manage to walk away from a fight with us will feel incredible pain a few hours later after it's done working its way through their skin. Takeshi's basically got the potential to become a walking war crime.

>>1242737
Oh, and sodium hypochlorite, the active compound in bleach, can actually cause allergic hypersensitivity to sodium hypochlorite. So anyone that survives fighting us will be more susceptible to our attacks the next time we fight.

>>1242576

Not quite as simple as that, but more or less.

on the bright side, who ever Takeshi is gonna marry is never gonna have to worry about cleaning the house.

>>1242819
>Hey honey, can you clean the house tomorrow?
>Sure thing. Just gotta move all the furniture outside...
>Without the soap dragons this time please.

Takeshi Fresh Lemon-Scented Anti-Ninja Spray(tm)

Spray it literally anywhere and enemy ninjas will keep a 100km distance

Oh god i love it.

In warfare or suburbia Takeshi always cleans house.

>>1242819
I guess this means we'll be the househusband then?

>>1243558
Yep, and we'll always keep the house clean.

Because you can't have dirt and lint laying around to pollute your work-space when you're making radical experimental poisons in your alchemy lab now can you?

Pic hopefully never related.

>>1243561
I think we'd be better off getting a dedicated position in the science corps if we're gonna be experimenting with the chemical composition of our boil release. We'd actually be really valuable considering how we're gonna be one of the few people left in the world who actually specialize in it.

>>1242737

>Basically

Ha.

>>1243558

...You know, I can actually see this. I mean, except for the fact that Takeshi loves his job being a ninja, but yeah.

>>1243786
We can do both. We can do anything damnit.
Obsessive dedication to training will overcome all obstacles.

>>1243558
Nope, We'd be training while soaps clones cleaned.

Alright, anons. Design Boil Release: Basic Bitch Jutsu.

>>1243917
I liked the sound of the compound that makes you hyper allergic to other compounds. Maybe that?

Hello Anons. Won't be running tonight as planned, I've just gotten home from work via walking. Ride bailed on me. I'm fairly tired, but we'll pick things back up tomorrow.

>>1244628

Suuuuuuuure they will.

Well fuck. Sorry to hear about your ride, man. Rest well.

>>1244628
They bailed on you? Man, what a dick. You should Wash their mouth out with soap. Feel better Mini, see you tomorrow.

>>1245583
>>1246123
It's all good. New updates coming momentarily.

>>1247938
I just caught up with the quest. It's a very good quest Mini

>>1247938
We gonna stay in this thread or you gonna make a new one?

>>1247950
Thanks anon, glad you've enjoyed it. I'll be continuing this thread in a few minutes if you'd like to join in

>>1247959
This thread

>>1247938
Yes, the run landed on my off day and I'm here for a live thread again!

So do we hardcore research soap powers then or.... literally anything else, our genjutsu needs some more powerful stopping options IMO, as does water ninjutsu, some more water options would be nice.

Inb4 Bitch how dare you even SUGGEST we not immediately pump the bejeezus out of our soap powers, are you completely retarded you filthy ningen?

>>1247980

Bitch how dare you even SUGGEST we not immediately pump the bejeezus out of our soap powers, are you completely retarded you filthy ningen?

>>1247963
That's why I'm here. I will stay even if it's late in my country.

It's a pity that Boruto is going on hiatus soon when the timeskip comes.

>>1247980
Honestly, I'd spread it around. Soap powers are great, but they get buffed by learning more fire and water jutsu, also we're currently not going to make a lot of headway with it, so things that buff chakra control (genjutsu, and healing) would help too.

>>1247996
>they get buffed by learning more fire and water jutsu
That'd give it more power, not necessarily more versatility or help us understand it better. I assume.

>>1247980
Soap powers are going to be the most amazing power ever.
We need to start researching more about chemistry. A release that uses pure chemistry is the most powerful if you use it well. Is like one of the foundations of the universe together with physics.
