YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyIeL-KyO2A&index=16&list=PLF7A13C44809B5893

It's early in the morning. You're walking down a secluded forest road, relaxing a little after a long journey. Sarada walks quietly beside you, her hand folded behind her back.

It's been two and a half years since you left to train with Sasuke Uchiha, Sarada Uchiha, Boruto Uzumaki and your team-mate Ai.

You're bouncing a little bit with each step. Hopping from foot to foot. Sarada glances over, mildly annoyed by all of your energy.

You've grown considerably taller in the last couple of years. You're now about 5'11.

You flick out a few punches and kicks, and start to move around her in a circle as you do so. "Heh. Hehehe."

She sighs. "Okay, the jumping around I get. You're excited. Stop doing it around me though! And quit giggling like that!"

You turn, pivoting on your heel and face her. You throw your hands up into the air, and yell. "BUT WE'RE ALMOST BACK TO THE LAND OF FIRE!!!"

Your voice rings out through the misty forest. You're passing through the Land of Waves. Sarada's eye begins to twitch slightly, and you start to take a few step back. "Right. You're probably tired from the trip. I should calm down. Right"

You turn back around, and continue marching along. It's difficult to contain your energy.

>A. How do you think the village has changed since we've been gone?
>B. I can't wait to show everyone all my new moves!
>C. When we get back, do you wanna go get something to eat?

Glad to have you back, Mini!

>>3168174
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"How much do you think the village has changed since we've been gone?"

Sarada shrugs. "Can't be too much. We're not exactly prospering right now, you know. It's probably about the same."

You nod. "Yeah, I guess you're right."

You inhale deeply. The cool air fills your lungs, and you breathe out slowly still trying to contain your excitement. Sarada pulls out a map to make sure that you're still heading in the correct direction. "We're coming up on the border, pretty soon. There's one town that we have to pass through before we get there."

"Right." you say. "I guess we should stay alert then."

The civil war in the land of waves has developed into an issue for the rest of the world. Refugees fleeing the torn nation, and criminal organizations flooding the empty spaces. Nearly every town that you pass through here has had some form of bandit or rogue shinobi attack you. It's part of why Sasuke instructed you to pair off and travel in smaller numbers. Shinobi aren't very welcome in this land, and looking out for yourself is difficult enough. A whole team would be too cumbersome.

You keep walking, until you exit the misty forest. Things are beginning to transition into the more familiar Land of Fire foliage.

The village in the clearing has a single road running through it, and seems destitute and abandoned. You and Sarada calmly walk through the center.

She stops. "Do you want to?"

Your skin crawls. Sasuke has prevented you from fighting opponents other than him and your partners for the entire duration of your training. To say that you were itching to fight, would be an understatement.

Neither of you are wearing your headbands, to stay concealed. You're still wearing your Jet Sheath and wakizashi, however. Not to mention all your other gear. To an outsider, you might just seem like a particularly well equipped traveler. Movement flickers in the shadows of the alleyways, and in the windows of the ruined buildings. They're probably going to send out their front man, and then pull an ambush.

>A. Yes.
>B. I'll run, and you act scared. It'll be great.

Let's see what Takeshi can do after all this time.

Also, holy fuck, it's back! Welcome back Mini!

>>3168304
>>A. Yes.
Heh, Takeshi really represents my feelings on this quest right now.

>>3168304
OH, EVEN BETTER IDEA!

>D. You and Sarada utilize a number of genjutsu to terrify them into submission. Go full Horror Movie. Once they've surrendered, you can just execute them for being bandits and move on.

>>3168304

Hmm...

>>3168372

Do you read?

>>3168372
End of the last thread, we wandered off with The Sauce and mini-Saucette to do some training. That was the Shippuden timeskip.

>>3168393
Sarada takes a few steps back, as you take a few steps forward.

People start to file out of the buildings all around you. Most of them are ragged looking, and carrying weapons. The largest of them stands in the center, well over six foot six and weighing in excess of four hundred pounds. You see someone like this out in the world every now and then. An athletic giant leading his small band of followers.

You look all around you, appearing somewhat distracted.

The huge man, and his squad of twenty or so allies, stand in front of you. He grins. "If you're looking for somewhere to run, don't bother. We'll shoot you in the back before you take a step. Just drop all your gear, and we'll let you pass. You're close to the border anyway."

The man lays a massive hand on your shoulder.

He leans in and grins. "Come on. Your friend is looking real scared. Don't be stupid."

You look back. Sure enough, Sarada is putting on her best quivering act.

You focus on him. "You guys don't have any ninja here? That's a little disappointing.."

His grip tightens suddenly, and he yanks you forward, and slams a fist into your gut.

It simply bounces off of your stomach. You look up at him, not amused.

I wouldn't call this a combat more than a presentation of our new abilities. And your write-in isn't precisely all that specific or clever.

>>3168471
I know I'm just reminding people and telling the new guys

Since there might be new people with good ideas, I'm not really good with combat write-ins but i am proficient in solving puzzles and predicting what an opponent will do.

You stare him down. "Hey. Look at this."

Slowly, but surely, you lift up your finger slowly and point it at him.

The very second he makes eye contact with the tip of your finger, he is under the effects of your genjutsu. Ephemeral.

Sasuke Uchiha taught you this jutsu.

In the illusion, you put a big diaper on him. The sun turns red, and the sky turns black as you grow in size, a devilish grin stretching from ear to ear. Your form morphs into a true horror, the flesh rotting off of the face and blood leaking from every orifice. The flesh cracks, warps, and bends to form some sort of undead monster.

It pushes him over with the tip of it's nose, pus sticking to his chest. The bandit leader looks shocked, to say the least. He starts to scream as your illusory monster roars overtop of him.

Back in reality, he's fallen onto his back and is simply screaming.

This jutsu takes a heavy chunk out of your chakra, but it really is amazing to use. You've experienced first hand how terrifying it can really be. It's time to take out some of your frustrations.

The other bandits all grip their weapons tightly. "W-what happened!? He didn't even do any handsigns! Was that a jutsu!?"

You throw your jacket off. "Nope. No jutsu. I'm an unarmed, defenseless boy. Aren't you going to rob me?"

You walk towards them with utter confidence. One of them stabs his spear forward at your gut, but you lower your elbow slightly and block the shot.

Sparks fly off, from the impact. It glances away harmlessly. Now that your jacket is removed, many scars can be seen on your arms, elbows, and hands. You clench your fist, and they pop and crack loudly.

What are you feeling?

>A. "Let this be a lesson to you. You never know what someone's real potential is."
>B. "I hate scum like you. Stealing food from refugees trying to enter the border? There may be no law in this land, but I am here to judge you"

Nice quest though , I've been following this quest since it got out, but was unable to participate due to real life.

>>3168559
"I hate scum like you. Stealing food from refugees trying to enter the border? There may be no law in this land, but I am here to judge you."

You reach out, and the man jumps back in fear. But you dash forward, accessing a small fraction of your blazing speed. Smoothly and easily, you chop your hand through the wood of his weapon. The tip snaps off travels in an arc upwards.

You spin around, and roundhouse kick it. The spear tip flies directly through the center of his forehead. You have a general policy of returning lethal force with lethal force.

Some of the others throw down their weapons, but a few more still feel bold. They rush you down, with swords, knives, maces and axes.

Every time a weapon is swung at you, you merely need to deflect it's course with your forearms. Sparks fly as you rapidly dodge with your head, and parry with your arms when you feel it's necessary.

The amazing thing is that you're not moving your feet. Each one rushes you down simultaneously, but the astounding speed of your arms and hands shuts down every offense.

Someone swipes a sword at you, and you thrust your fist out and the blade shatters. Metal shrapnel is sprayed back into his face, and he falls screaming.

From behind you, Sarada yells. "Duck!"

Sure enough, a crossbow bolt from one of the windows fires off at an angle. You bend at the waist just as someone rushes at you from the front, and the bolt hits them square in the chest.

The axe wielder comes from the side, swinging it at your midsection in a broad arc. Yet again, you simply drop your elbow into position. Sparks fly as the metal clangs with your toughened bone and skin. The truth is that you don't even have sensation anymore in most areas, save for your palms and fingertips. You thrust the other elbow up, and crunch his nose into his skull. He falls as well, gurgling blood.

The whole time, the giant man is still crying like a baby.

The others all give in. By now they've certainly realized what you're capable of, and flee the village.

You grin, and look at Sarada. "Cool, huh?"

She rolls her eyes. "Nice moves, but that thing you said at the start? Super dorky."

You shrug. "It's important to have fun. Well, let's go meet up with the others."

The pair continues down the road, leaving the small village in an even worse state than when they found it. Some of the bandits run outside and drag their wounded back in.

Again, you start to throw punches at the air, all too excited for your return, and a real challenge.

An hour or so later you begin to approach the border wall that was recently built, to separate the ruined peninsula from the Land of Fire. Boruto and Ai are already there.

Boruto grew to be the same height as you, roughly. Ai is perhaps another inch or so taller, but she carries herself in a much more confident, mature manner. The Hokage's son waves. "Ay! What took you guys so long? We thought Sasuke was actually going to get here first, for once!"

You shrug. "Ahh, you know. Usual business."

"Did you guys run into any trouble on the way here?"

Boruto shook his head. "Nope."

Ai continued. "There was a small village, but we assumed that it would be full of bandits. We just went around it."

Sarada smiled. "Yeah, same for us. I was thinking of telling Takeshi that, but I imagined that he'd want to fight no matter what."

You grin. "That's right, I-"

As suddenly as always, Sasuke is here now. He just warps around, so you never hear him arrive. Though he's not really all that much bigger, it feels like he towers over you as he speaks. He's calm and collected, but the years of brutal training force your spine to tingle regardless. "I told you guys to avoid trouble. That's why we split up in the first place."

Don't be rude to our future father-in-law

"Oh, yeah. I guess it is kind of a, political situation right now. ..."

As usual, Sasuke doesn't say anything beyond that. He simply starts to walk towards the border. "Let's get a move on."

Just a few more hours, and your small group has arrived once more at the gates of the Hidden Leaf Village.

It's difficult to contain yourself. You've never been away from home for so long before. You remember feeling somewhat frustrated with your career for a time before you defeated Shozuku, but now it seems like the whole world is open to you.

The guards let you through, and the five of you stand in a circle. Sasuke starts. "Well, I guess this is where we go our separate ways everyone. When I started this whole thing, I figured it'd be a huge pain in the ass. But you all exceeded my expectations."

He smiles, genuinely. It's one of the very few times you've ever seen him do so, let alone such a genuine compliment. At once, the four of you bow. Three of you start to walk away, but Sarada embraces her father for a few short moments. As you walk away, you can hear them exchanging further goodbyes.

As you're walking away to go to your brother, you notice that Ai is starting to head towards her own home.

You pause. "Hey, where you going?"

She turns. "Hm?"

"Aren't we going to go see Kichiro together, before I go see my bro?"

She grins. "Sure. Sounds great."

The two of you head to his place, remarking on the small changes in the village. Overral, Sarada was right. It's more or less the same.

You knock on Kichiro's door, and a few minutes later, a young Genin girl with bright red, fiery hair answers the door. She furrows her brow at first, looking annoyed, but then her eyes go wide. It's Kichiro's little sister, Asuka. "BIG BROOOOOOO!!!!!" she yells, at the top of her lungs.

Ai looks at you, surprised with wide eyes. You also do the same to her. A deep rumbling starts up in the upper floor of their apartment, and seconds later, it sounds like a rhinoceros is crashing through the home. From behind Asuka, you see a massive figure land at the bottom of the steps, shaking the room.

Asuka steps to the side, and Kichiro bursts through the door, picking you and Ai up in both arms.

He's absolutely massive now. Well over six foot four, and probably weighing about two hundred and fifty pounds of sheer muscle. He's squeezing the life out of you.

"You guys!!! You're finally back, I can't believe it!"

I wonder how well Mari's "character"developed?

>>3168932
What about Himawari?

>>3168932
....Band-aids are such a shit thing to use as an accesory

"You're fucking huge." you say, gasping between words. He lets you both go, and rubs the back of his head. "Heh. Sorry. I really don't know my own strength, I'm not used to having doubled in size yet."

Ai looks at Asuka.

They stare at each other for a few seconds.

"Bullshit.." mutters Ai.

This surprises you a great deal. "Huh?"

"Bullshit." she says. She points at Asuka. "She's taller than I am too!"

Sure enough, Asuka is in fact about 5'6 to Ai's 5'4. Asuka slyly brings her fingers up to her face, to partially hide a grin. "Ohh, how unfortunate."

Ai's eyes narrow.

"I thought I trained hard, man. You're huge. I'm not so sure I still wanna spar, anymore!"

Kichiro nods. "I'm sure we'll get the chance to show off everything we've learned."

The sound of footsteps can be heard behind you. You and Ai take a step back so Kichiro can see, and sure enough, your old Sensei Hanto is approaching. He gives a small wave. "Yo."

His breath stinks of alcohol, as normal, and he stumbles slightly. He always catches himself, though. "Look at you two... I knew Kichiro changed a lot, but man. I really feel old right now. Before you get settled in and comfortable, how about.."

He grins, and takes a single bell out of his pocket. "A free for all! Whoever gets this bell, has improved the most!!"

He launches off into the sky, bouncing between the buildings before dashing off onto the roofs. You didn't even have a chance to say hello before he darted.

The three of you all look at each other briefly.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gcshz4lBJPQ

Kichiro blasts off first, scorching his front door and knocking his sister over as she yelps. Ai also leaps off, opting to dart through the roads below instead. You look back at Asuka, who's tumbled all the way to the back of the room.

She yells at you. "Go get the bell, dummy! Kichiro won't forgive you if you take it easy!!"

You give her a thumbs up. "Right!"

Using all of your speed, you jump high into the air and get a good look at the Hidden Leaf Village for the first time since you've returned. The skyline is the same as ever, the air fresh, and the people strong. This is your home, and you're finally back.

Now it's time to do what you do best.

----

That's all for tonight folks. I hope you've enjoyed this sort return. I'll be running again, Saturday night! I'll stick around for any questions

>>3168958
Great thread man

>>3168958
Sad I missed the votes but it's great seeing this come back. Can't wait for next session, but weren't you planning on doing a new quest before starting up the timeskip?

Welcome back and thanks for running

>>3168963
Thanks anon.

>>3168973
I was, but as usual I was having trouble with work and stuff and I needed to focus on making money instead of any hobbies. However now I have like a month solid of free time. Instead of using that time to star The Fighting Quest, I figured I might as well begin Boruto Quest Part 2.

I know some people were itching for it to continue, and The Fighting Quest was going to take considerably longer than I anticipated. I will return to it, maybe when I'm done with this, but for now this takes precedent to me.

I still really want to do it, but I want to fulfill my obligations to the people reading this quest first. Apologies for my change in plans.

>>3168958

Thanks for running, Mini!

>>3168988
No problem, glad you liked it. It was a little barebones to just get back in the swing of things for me, but saturday I have a lot more ideas to work off of.

>>3168984
Nothing to apologize for, I'm happy to see this back.

There aren't any good quests anymore, so I'm genuinely happy to see you return.

>>3169405
Joker Quest is still running. Pokemon Urban is great and the QM just started running again following a holiday hiatus. No One Gets Left behind is good as well as Hikkimori Quest. Bloody Mist is another good Nart quest currently running.

>>3169462
these, plus it's still only on three threads but the worm wendigo quest has been going well so far.

>>3169480
>>3169462
I gotta give Joker Quest OP props for STILL going, but his inconsistent runtimes really makes it hard to feel invested. New worm quest is interesting, hopefully the OP learns to proofread a little better though. I dunno friends, RIP Banished, Homeless Mutant, etc. Is Take to the Skies still going?

Thank you for your praise. I'm sure there are some other good ones though.

Man I get the love for HMQ, I really do Bless Crusty, may he rest in peace but it's been years at this point. You just gotta move on and accept that most quests just aren't gonna stack up to it.

Are you talking about the Avatar quest on Anonkun? Pretty boring plus degenerate yuri. There are a few good quests on that site but they are almost all inconsistent with when they run or are half-dead/on hiatus.

Thanks, I hope I can fulfill everyone's expectations

Oh, I forgot to mention at the end of last thread. Here is my twitter, pretty much the only way I stay in touch.

You land, and survey the situation in front of you. Hanto is heading back towards the village gates, intending to take this to the training field most likely. You were kind of expecting something like this, but not so suddenly. He must have been watching eagerly for you to return.

Kichiro is rocketing from rooftop to rooftop, using his Dragon Boxing to boost his speed. Hanto can be seen doing the same even further ahead. They're already pretty far way.

Taking a deep breath, you crouch down, and take a runner's stance. Going full speed like this is always a pleasure.

You slide your goggles onto your face. The ones that you'd gotten from your time with the Great Owls. From the previous Owl Sage. Keeps the wind out of your face.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kQWQiMypjc

If anyone was watching, there'd be no indication that you'd just taken off. Your afterimage fades out of the air, and in a few moments you're caught up with Kichiro. You're right on his heels, the flames pushing you back slightly. With a leap, you flip over the top of him and tap the top of his head.

Landing in front, you dash even faster than before using Shunshin. Now you're like a human missile, tucking your arms against your side to prevent drag. Traveling in a huge arc over the village, you take another chance to survey your surroundings.

Clicking a knob on the side of your goggles, you zoom in to the streets down below and see Ai navigating it expertly. She's cutting to the left, and intending to beat everyone to the training field and anticipate Hanto.

Flipping around, you look at Kichiro once more. Your eyes go wide. He's blasting for you, and tackles you out of the air and throws you down and to the side, spinning wildly out of control.

He flips in mid air, and uses the jets of fire to change direction and regain his momentum.

What do yo want to do?

>A. Start Charging up your Jet Sheath, and use the burst of air to change direction and chase after Kichiro and Hanto. The most direct path.
>B. Use False Sense: Fatigue on Kichiro to slow him down. Let yourself land, and follow Ai. You know how fast she is, she'll probably try to set up an ambush.

For those who aren't aware, if things are slow and people seem to agree, I'll often end the voting period a little bit early.

You focus, and go through a few handseals as you twist to right yourself. You launch a burst of chakra towards Kichiro, hoping to strike him with your Genjutsu.

It's difficult to time, but you try to catch him before he goes out of range. The technique is successful thankfully, and you divert your attention back towards the ground.

Bouncing between the walls of the old part of the village, you break your fall and land into a running sprint. Breaking out through an alleyway, you spot Ai darting towards the village wall. As fast as you are, she's every bit as fast. With her lead ahead of you, you're going to have to get creative. She's too far away to hit with any type of jutsu, at this point.

Sprinting ahead, you plan while you move. She's going to have to climb up the wall, and as she changes angles you'll have a moment where you might be able to intercept her path.

>A. Use Shunshin as she starts up the wall, and catch up with her.
>B. Use Boil Release: Soap Style: Soap Spray to make the path ahead of her slick.
>C. Use Water Style: Starch Syrup Capture Field to try and trap her
>D. Take this moment to use Summoning Jutsu, and summon Danpei. Allow yourself to follow behind Ai, and have Danpei scout.

>>3173808
>C. Use Water Style: Starch Syrup Capture Field to try and trap her

Any time spent getting unstuck is time she loses for getting the bell, and time we gain without having to worry about Ai. Also less chakra intensive than Boil release/Summoning I assume.

You're correct in that.

D- small drain
C- medium drain

Well, your stats were actually "reset" in a sense.

They're a reflection of how you compare to your peers, as opposed to a hard statistic. They've improved more than is immediately apparent.

This means that your speed went up, pretty astronomically really.

You bite your thumb to draw a little blood, and perform the Summoning Jutsu.

Danpei appears in a puff of smoke. He's a rather large owl, capable of performing modest air support. He was kind of grumpy when you first met him, but over the years you've gotten to know each other quite well. At the moment he seems to be napping.

Ruffling the feathers on the back of his neck, he wakes up and spins his head to look at you. Glancing up, Ai is making her way up the wall.

Danpei's head spins all around. "Hey! You're back in the Leaf Village now."

You nod. "Yup. My sensei Hanto is testing us. Can you do me a favor, and go ahead of me and track Ai? Report back to me if she stops, or starts to do anything suspicious.

Ai flips over the wall at the top, and makes her way to the field. In the distance, where Kichiro and Hanto were, you hear a loud commotion. Some kind of explosion went off. You seriously doubt that Kichiro already caught up to him, especially with your Genjutsu, but it could be worth investigating.

>A. Keep following Ai, and prepare to ambush her ambush on Hanto.
>B. Go after Kichiro and investigate

>>3173962
>>A. Keep following Ai, and prepare to ambush her ambush on Hanto.
I heard you like ambushes so we put an ambush in an ambush

On paper Asuka and Takeshi can both have 2.5 STR, but in different classes of power.

Well, you know how when you took off your weights, and you were almost at the max speed stat at the time?

You're *much* faster than that now, without ever having to take off your weights.

For strength, you're not exceptional but not weak. Your punches do more damage because of the high speed they travel at, and having hard as steel knuckles. So while your strength hasn't actually gone up much (normal for a Chunin of your age), you could knock a normal human being's jaw off with no effort.

Your Chakra Control is exceptional as well. Your healing capabilities are far more efficient than they were before.

Your Genjutsu didn't go up that much in terms of raw capability, but you did manage to learn Ephemeral with severe training. Which is one of the strongest Genjutsu there is, simply because of how versatile and sneaky it is.

So on and so forth. Your Ninjutsu skill has also gone up considerably, becoming more efficient at both fire and boil style techniques.

Deciding that it'd be best to play the long game instead of getting distracted, you keep after Ai.

Traveling up the wall, you make it just in time to notice that she's created two different clones. They all take off in different directions. You instruct Danpei to follow the real Ai. For now, you'll just have to lag behind and watch. More commotion can be heard in the distance, but it's getting farther and farther away.

Taking it slow, you try your best to track one of the clones as you head towards the training field. It's possible that it was merely intended to be a distraction in case you decided to follow her, but you can't take the risk that they're part of a longer game.

The clone slows down and stops for a few seconds, and you throw a senbon right into it's neck. It explodes in a burst of electricity, scorching the earth around it. You wince. You've been hit by way too many of those things, coming from Ai, Sarada, and Sasuke.

Now, you keep your pace as you approach the field. Danpei swoops down and perches on a branch above you. "She's hiding in the trees, along with her other clone. She noticed me in the air, of course. She's probably expecting you to do something.

You nod. "Yeah. I knew that when I blew up her clone. I'm thinking I might pull out a classic. You just keep an eye on my backside, Danpei."

He flies back into the air, and you make your way to the bushes of the training ground.

Hanto lands, scraping against the dirt as he does so. Kichiro lands directly after him, and they exchange a series of thundering punches. Blue and red flames mix as they tangle, rumbling the ground underneath your feet. It seems like Kichiro's raw destructive power can tangle with your sensei's.

What do you want to do?

>A. Set up your Paralysis Bells, and wait for Ai to make a move. You might be able to swoop in and take the bell while they're frozen.
>B. Send out Water Clones and Haze Clones, but remain hidden.

Just spitballing some strategy here, but can you use water clones to fuel water-style jutsu? We could scatter a bunch of clones and use them to strategically or spontaneously place starch syrup capture fields.

Unless of course, we can't utilze them that way from afar, that would be tragic.

Takeshi would take Australia if he played Risk

>>3174193
Unfortunately not, Starch Syrup Capture Field comes from your mouth as a spray.

Other Jutsu that don't have to originate from you, could be used that way though. For example, if you learned Water Shark Bomb Jutsu and had created enough clones to supply water for that, it would work.

You create five Water Clones, and about two dozen Haze Clones. They spread around the perimeter of the field on the ground, and wait for a gap in the action. At once, they all rush in.

Kichiro and Hanto glance around them for a second, and grin. They return to their combat and simply let the flames surrounding them push your clones back, at first. However, one of the Water Clones charges in and jumps on Kichiro's back, briefly dousing the flames.

A Haze Clone then rushes at him at from the front, and he punches directly through it with another burst of flame. It passes through and flies to Hanto, who jumps high into the air.

At once, from behind him, Ai leaps from the trees. He senses her and spins around with a whipping kick, sending an arc of blue fire. She's struck, and the clone explodes in a harmless burst of electricity. From the other side, Ai dashes in again. This actually reminds you of the situation during your first test with Hanto. Almost identically, even. So far.

Another one of your Water Clones rushes at Kichiro, and he punches the ground below him and creates a violent explosion. It destroys a couple of your clones, and knocks Hanto and Ai out of balance in the air.

Ai throws a shuriken with wires around it, and it wraps around the ankle of your sensei. She pulls hard and yanks him over her head, intending to slam him down into the ground.

Hanto flips, and lands with his palms on the ground. From this position he spin and hits the ground, break dancing so that blue whips of fire push both Ai and Kichiro back. All but one of your clones are destroyed, but the Haze Clones are still present on the field after they reform.

It seems like your Sensei is still too fast, strong, and dangerous to approach directly. The last of your Water Clones has retreated and returned to you. What do you want to do?

>A. Wait for a moment where he's distracted by Ai and Kichiro, and rush in with with the Roof Tile Shuriken Jutsu. Using your Haze Clones as additional distractions, you try to take the bell.
>B. Set up your Paralysis Bells, and dash out and take it.

You nod to your clone, and as Danpei circles above, you make a series of hand motions to him. He understands that you intend for him to attack from behind, at an angle. He circles around slowly, and as the clone gets into position.

Going through a number of handsigns, you perform one of your very own unique techniques. After much struggling, you invented this. No one else in the entire world can do what you're about to do.

It's pretty much impossible for you to not grin with pride. A shiny bubble forms in the palm of your hand, and it grows in size until it's roughly equal to a soccer ball. You lob it back and forth between your hands, a rainbow sheen glistening on top of it. Ai and Kichiro stand off with your Sensei, in front of you.

Crouching down, you get ready to use your full speed once more. From the left, your Water Clone fires off Water Bullets and pushes Ai back. Hanto looks behind him, and blasts it with a burst of blue fire.

From the other end, Danpei swoops down and shoots several bullets of wind. Kichiro jumps into the air to avoid them, and launches several bursts of fire at the owl. He tucks his wings next to him and spins, narrowly avoiding the attack.

Now, you take your chance. Leaping forward, you dash into the air above all of them in the center. You dunk the bubble straight down.

Hanto turns back just in time to see it landing about ten feet away from him. He cocks an eyebrow, confused by the single bubble.

It falls almost delicately, before touching a blade of grass. The violent concussive explosion sends them all flying, even going so far as to slam Hanto into a tree. Kichiro spins wildly out of control into the woods, and Ai falls into the pond.

Now's your best chance!

>A. Use your Jet Sheath to dash at your Sensei directly and grab the bell while he's stunned

Normally, you would be correct. Your Sensei is rather unique though. It's essentially a non-elemental form of fire. Raw chakra that can burn stuff.

He can also pick and choose what it does and doesn't burn. This comes from him absorbing some of Kaguya's chakra.

His mother created a sword out of a meteorite, and always kept the sword on her person. While she was pregnant, Hanto absorbed the sword's moon chakra in the womb.

Later in life this manifested as his unique abilities. Chakra and stamina that could match a Jinchuriki, and the various techniques he's developed from this unique Chakra.

It's kind of similar to the abilities of that one village, who gained power from a meteorite as well.

You make a circle motion with your finger, and Danpei loops around to slam Wind Bullets into Hanto. Your Sensei puts his arms up and blocks the attack, holding him in place.

Landing, you take a brief glance around and notice Ai climbing out of the water and Kichiro rushing back in. It's now or never, more or less.

Dashing forward at top speed, you throw a shuriken forward. Hanto knocks it aside, and then punches a blast of blue fire in your direction. Anticipating this, you slip to the side and form several handsigns. The Roof Tile Shuriken Jutsu.

You kneel down, and launch yourself forward again. Dashing past Hanto, you hold out a single hand and telekinetically pull the bell off of Hanto's waist, and into your palm.

Skidding to a stop, you turn around and start walking towards your allies.

You've got a large grin on your face. Everyone else is panting, except for you. Even your Sensei, who probably worked himself rather hard
against Kichiro.

Kichiro frowns. "That was bullshit."

Also, we need to work on a better method of delivery for the Bubble. Just creating it and only being able to lob it isn't the best, especially considering it's, ya know, a soap bubble. Those don't go very far when thrown.

"Actually, Kichiro, that was Soap Style: Bubble Bomb Jutsu. Made it myself!"

He rolls his eyes. "I figured that."

You rub the back of your head. "Hehehe. Good game, guys."

Hanto sits down, and takes a big swig of his flask. "Hell. Maybe I should have been sober for this one. Or more drunk, not sure. Either way, great job, everyone. Your fundamentals have come a long way."

"Why didn't you go all out though, Ai?" you ask. She shrugs her shoulders. "Well, I didn't really have a chance to yet. I was waiting for an opportunity once you made your move, but it never came. Didn't think you'd use the environment like that to make your own opportunity."

"What about you, Kichiro? How'd you get out of my Genjutsu?"

He blinks. "Genjutsu? Eh?"

Hanto chuckles. "I probably knocked him out of that one. Don't know if you heard it, but I gave him a nice axe kick on the way here. Probably went about four feet underground."

Kichiro coughs. "Slowed me down for a couple of minutes."

You grin. "I see."

It's quiet for a few moments, as the wind moves through the trees. You look at the tiny bell in your hand, and squeeze it tightly.

Hanto coughs. "Kichiro, Ai, I was thinking we could go grab a bite to eat. Takeshi, shouldn't you be heading home by now?"

You look up. "Yeah. I'll see you guys around!"

It's time to say hi to your big bro, and your folks too.

>It's time to say hi to your big bro, and your folks too.

Huh? I thought we lived with bro because our parents are deeeeaad.

And yes Mini, this was fun. Glad the roof-tile Jutsu was useful this fight. I was worried It wouldn't get the bell off the string.

>>3174783

Thanks for running, Mini!

>>3174783
I'd ask how the rest of the class has been doing, but I feel like that's gonna get answered next thread. Too tired to write up some impressions the characters we've met so far feel about Takeshi? Bort and Salad's must have changed dramatically due to knowing/interacting with us for so long.

>>3174812
>"I still can't believe I lost to this goober"

>>3174799
Your parents are dead, yes. I was referring to the shrine of them. Tell them all your adventures.

>>3174812
Yeah, we'll get to that soon. You did bond a lot with both Boruto and (I almost wrote Salad) Sarada. Sarada still thinks you're a little coocoo, but she also trusts you more completely now. You've got Boruto's total respect if you didn't have it before, and he's actually a pretty good friend. Much smarter and calmer, which he kind of got from you and Sasuke.

>>3174835
Aw, as nice as upping that S-link is, I'll miss the tinfoilhat and shadowrunning she'd do when she didn't trust Takeshi.

>>3174862
Now she understands that it's simply the way you are.

What's even better is Ai and her talking about you and Boruto

>>3174835
>Your parents are dead, yes. I was referring to the shrine of them. Tell them all your adventures.

That's both sad and touching.

Mini I do have two questions, actually.

What does Soap style: Soften do?
What does Soap style: Soap spray do? (Is it the jutsu we had pre-timeskip?)

Now I was thinking, unless we get a mission right away how should we spend our time? I'd like to acquire shadow clones as soon as possible, but I don't think we're officially allowed to learn them until we hit Jonin, but we need to be completely prepared for before we go and attempt the test, since I believe we get one shot. I'd be up for learning some more water style jutsu, like Water Prison jutsu and the Hiding in Water technique.

>>3174878
Soap Style: Soften essentially coats you and your clothing in a super slippery layer of soap. Physical attacks will have all of their force deflected somewhat. People's punches will slide right off of your face with no impact, provided you angle it slightly.

You'll be getting a mission fairly soon, and you do need to hit Jounin before being allowed to learn Shadow Clones. Next thread I imagine will be spent seeing how everyone is doing.

Once you return from your mission you'll have an opportunity to do whatever you want with your time.

Soap Style: Soap Spray is similar to Starch Syrup Capture field. Except it sprays soapy foam on the ground to cause someone or something to slip.

>>3174878
Personally, I kinda want to meet back up with our old buddies to see their post timeskip selves. Some downtime before big training you know?

However, when we do get back into it, investing into more Boil release shit is my personal number 1. We haven't been able to break out of Soap style stuff yet, once we do the entire world of chemistry opens up to us which is insanely versatile.

Oh, I forgot to mention. Next thread is this Tuesday.

>>3174897
How many Killer B albums does Takeshi own? How many of his songs are about the time he beat the shit out of Sasuke?

>>3174908
Killer B's musical career begun and ended with his hit song, "Hit 'Em Up", in which he disses every single Uchiha in history and claims he fucked their wives too.

After that he was never able to recapture the audience.

This single is played on the radio near constantly

>>3174897
Both of those Jutsu sound great, I can't wait to smugly use Soften against some jacked up taijutsu Nin.

>>3174901
Definitely, gotta see how everyone else did over the timeskip, maybe play a game of shogi for old times sake.

>>3174902
Nice, thanks Mini.

>>3174908
Zero, because we've been traveling with Sausuke.

>>3174929
what a hero

>>3174940

Hush anon. We all enjoy shitting on Uchiha in this boat. Watch this and learn.

Sarada worst girl.

>>3174970
Better than Ai at least.

And uh... that sword girl. Yasu! Yeah it was Yasu.

>>3174970
I disagree but support your right to have this opinion. Could I attend more threads while they’re active, I would fight hard for Sarada. Sadly, work beckons

>>3174970
That's why we introduce better genes in their pool anon.

>>3175029
it will take generations to get the Sasuke and Sakura genes out

>>3175031
One dick at a time, Takeshi is the head the uchiha need.

>>3175040
sharingan+autism=OP pls nerf

Hey mini, in the pastebin, why does the Great Fireball jutsu still need practice? I'd assume we'd have gotten the hang of it over the last few years.

>>3175048
Oh woops, that's a mistake. You have in fact mastered it.

>>3175063
it would be kind of funny if an elite ninja just can't do like one simple jutsu

>>3175072
You are pretty elite.

You've come a long way

Is Boruto worth watching and or reading?

>>3175155
Don't know!

I actually went out of my way to avoid Boruto related content, aside from inspiration for techniques or abilities.

Man, this damn quest is so good. Thanks for running!

>>3175205
>>3175155
Trust me you did yourself a favor. It's pretty shit

>>3174997
It's been a hot minute, who was best girl again?
Last I recall, we were trying to bro it up with sword girl, Ai was taking root in the sisteru category and Byakugan battle brawlers was at the head of the pack for the waifubowl with Salad Dressing catching up.

>>3175762
Seemed pretty even between Mari and Salad, with a few turbo autists pushing for Ai. We've completely forgotten about sword girl, she's probably behind the fucking Inazuka at this point. To me though, Mari's got some good chemistry, and makes the most sense from a story perspective.

If where you left off swordgirl was still relevant, then you probably missed a lot.

>>3175790
No I read up til the end, I must've forgot some stuff is all. Thought our last mission with her was closer to the timeskip than it must've been.

>it's back

>>3175762
>who was best girl again?
Mari.
Mari is best girl.
I'm looking forward to playing out Takeshi's jaw dropping when he sees how she's... developed.

>>3175790
I was totally in Ai's camp until we turned out to be a doppleganger of her brother. That just made it all kinds of weird.

>>3176989
Keep in mind. It’s a fifty fifty chance of Hinatatas or Itty Hanabitty Titty.

>>3176989
I thought she was too, I thought I'd forgotten some major turnabout that put Salada ahead.

It' less that you look exactly alike and more that you both have the appearance of "Non-descript japanese boy."

The more the quest went on the more the consequences of your actions caused your appearances to diverge. He became sickly and unhinged, while you got stronger and more confident. It was all about your mindsets

>>3175762
Salad. Not to say that Mari is bad, I just prefer the Salad.

>>3179663
So, have we seen any of our contemporaries and friends over the years?

Mini, you don't need to make excuses for your incest fetish, but we're not obligated to play along.

>>3179681
Other than Sasuke, Sarada, Boruto, and Ai, not really. You would often go and visit the Owl village in order to train with them to some extent.

Next thread you'll get to see a new owl summon that you're capable of. Aside from that, you stuck to the remote wilderness. Sasuke would often pit you against each other in Forest of Death esque competition, combating both each other and the wildlife.

>>3179686
I should have foreseen this.

>>3179692

How'd the competitions normally go?

>>3179698
In the start, you and Boruto were actually both ahead considerably. Your speed and the huge amount of variety in your strategy kept you going. Ai and Sarada developed new techniques though, and Sarada in particular unlocked the third stage of her Sharingan.

once that happened, you were the one who fell behind. For a long time, until your training began to pay off. Boruto cracked down more on his fundamentals, and Ai improved upon many jutsu she already knew.

This was the most difficult time for you, as you were breaking down your body to create the iron hard extremities, as well as being broken mentally as a subject of Sasuke's Genjutsu. But you toughed it out, and once your new skills and the new techniques you invented came into play, and your chakra pool and body got larger, you were able to keep up with all of them.

In one on one competitions you would rarely, very rarely win. However, in a team battle, if someone had you on their side, you won almost all the time.

>>3179729

Neat.

>>3179729
Makes sense, frankly it always did feel like the top brass were grooming Takeshi a bit more for a leadership position as he gpt older. Hell Shikamaru outright wants and expectd him to eventually move up and join the intel and interrogation branch. I don't know about hokage or whatever but we're definitely in for a senior position in the future if we wanted it. Hell I could see Takeshi easily becoming the hokage's second in command as jounin commander and probably even part of the ruling council when he's an old man.

Of course that's way far in the future, for now my short term goals are to build up our jutsu, create more soap jutsu (soap dragon jutsu is the dream baby), and make jounin quick.

>>3179824
We need to break out of just Soap jutsu and figure out how to make other chemicals. That's when the real party starts.

>>3179857

It'll be ironic if Takeshi ends up being called Agent Orange and not Naruto or Boruto.

>>3179824
>not being in charge of the academy and raising the general standard of Leaf Genin

>>3174869
>What's even better is Ai and her talking about you and Boruto
Are we just going to ignore mini dropping this right there in the middle of the table?

>>3179866
I don't get it.

>>3179989
Huh, I completely missed that. Oh well Takeshi will never know.
And I doubt we will either.

>>3179989
yep

If the 3rd Hokage learned 1,000 jutsu then I want Takeshi to learn 1,004

>>3179989
Nice.

>>3180140

1,001

I was hoping to run at 6 PM today but I'm running a little late, so it'll be 7 again.

>>3180974
I don't care, I'm just happy you're back.

>>3180974
I'm just happy the quest is running.

After such a long day, you finally make it back home. Your apartment building is the same as ever. It really amazes you that the Leaf Village hasn't changed, considering the turbulent situation in the world outside of it's walls. Many of the small villages and towns that you've visited have become rather destitute, as of late.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2oql-D7euc&index=20&list=PLF7A13C44809B5893

You exchanged a few letters with your brother while you were gone, but minimal contact was encouraged by Sasuke.

Making your way through the building, you unlock the door to your home with anticipation building inside of you. It's been years since you've seen him.

However, the room is quiet and dark. You turn on the light, and look around. Things are, again, more or less the same. Your brother doesn't seem to be home. He's probably at work, guarding the walls of the village as a sensory ninja.

You sigh. It's a little disappointing, but you should have known better. He always works twelve hour shifts, so it's no surprise he's not here.

Instead, you drop off your gear and get undressed. Slipping into some comfortable pajamas, you sink into the couch with a heavy sigh. The comforts of modern life never gripped you that tightly, but you have to admit that you're seriously going to enjoy having a shower available at all times. As well as a bed.

Taking some time to yourself, and enjoying the peace and quiet, you prepare to go visit your parents.

Treading lightly as always, as if afraid to wake someone who is sleeping, you unlock the door and slip into the room.

Kneeling down, you look at their pictures and light a candle. You place your hands on your knees, and look down at the floor.

Hot tears start to stream down your face, as all of the emotion that you've kept inside of you spills out. You're known for always keeping your cool, and having a level head. Keeping the mood light and being kind.

But in here, in your most sacred of places, you can really express your truest feelings.

"Mom...Dad. I wish you were here so you could see me. I know you're out there watching me somewhere, but, through these years..."

You choke and stutter. Placing your palms on the floor, you bow.

"I hope I can fulfill your expectations! I hope you know that.."

You recall Sasuke's stories about the time spent with his own family, and how his clan was slaughtered. Similar to how Ai's family was taken from her, and subsequently causing the downward spiral of Shozuku.

All of these people who have been hurt so much.

>A. I wonder if you think I'm a good example for people like them to follow

How old were we when Takeshi's parents died again?
