    As of last thread we were busy getting dating advise from our Uncle about the crazy broad who was trying to kill us.

    So now we have two potential waifus. the crazy uchiha chick who will likely try to kill us if we fuck up around her or step out of her "white knight" vision of us, and the Earth girl who we know little about right now, but we stay away from for fear that Inari will kill her.

    Hm, you know, now that I think about it, we might just be overestimating Inari a little bit. She's so good at shutting us down because of the other Hyuuga's shes captured. she might have some trouble with a non-Hyuuga shinobi.

    Are we still on the extended mission?

    Might be a good idea to swing by the earth kingdom if the treaty is already completed. Should pay a visit to the guy we saved and make more contacts among them.

    Gives us a cover to see Momoji as well while we're there.

    Ah, my bad. Sidetrip to the Land of Wind might be a good idea.

    If we're heading there, we might want to speak to the patriarch if he has any missives he might wish to send. Might as well turn it into an official diplomatic mission.

    I'd say that before we head ANYWHERE, we should at the very least clear out SOME of the riff-raff. Our initial goal here was to get rid of the less lawful members of the land of fire, let's get started on that before attempting other things.

    As you clean up the bandits, going far and wide to break them apart, you finally hear of the red-haired giant. He is on the southern part of the country, near the Land of Tea. He is said to be coming off an injury, so he's getting some rest, but he's in good fighting condition. You could probably catch him. Interested?

    The Tea is a large empty country with a ton of fields, not really that important. They are neutral, but meaningless.

    You head towards the Tea Country and in short order you find the inn where he's staying. Outside the door you see three of his massive spears with a heavy chain around the shaft of each of them.

    There wasn't a chain, but there was a broken loop, he had probably thrown it and snapped it from its chain, which is horrific in and of itself.

    The man in question is about seven feet tall with a tall shock of red hair. He's sitting in the bar room and drinking at the bar. A pile of snapped wood is next to him, a broken chair or two, and the bartender cowers in terror from this giant.

    He stops as you grab his elbow and you feel his steel sheet-like muscles tighten as he turns, facing you as he hears you out and the nods, "Ok."

    He remains stoic and says, "Bandits. Shinobi Bandits are still Bandits." He says simply, "Weak." Is the last thing he notes on the topic as he walks with you, laying his spears across his shoulder like girders. His blue eyes are deep and calm for the moment, but at their center you can see a seed of chaos, churning and waiting to burst to life.

    He surges forward suddenly in a big loping charge, and a heavy net is dropped over him, which looks to be enough to knock you onto your back. He, however, grunts in displeasure and flicks his spears upwards, throwing the net off his head and hurls a spear into a single foe, a loud "thunk" filling the air as he pins the bandit to the tree.

    One of your shuriken finds nothing but wood, but the other two hit flesh with a sickly sound of metal slicing flesh as it embeds itself into the neck of a bandit, who cries out and tumbles to the ground, dead before he hits the ground.

    The bandits fire a barrage of arrows at your large friend who gets hit again and again with a grunt. However, one sets him off for some reason and he snarls, black hard chitinous material creeping along his thick arms, and he howls out in anger, laughing at the same time. His right arm is now tipped with a massive clawed hand and he jumps easily ten feet into the air and rends a bandit clean in half with his claw, catching the tree and pulling himself up. Screams of panic fill the air.

    You scale a tree quickly and thrust a finger forward, hitting the man's neck and causing his entire chakra system to be blown apart by your Gentle Fist. He collapses with a trickle of blood at his lips.

    Bandit after bandit swings at you with their clubs and blades, but you weave around them effortlessly, finger-thrusting some of them in the neck when they get too close.

    Your comrade continues on his path of murder and soon all the bandits are dead around him as he turns to face you, his eyes hysterical as he laughs and begins to shake, trying to control his fury. You can see his chakra system is raging out of control, but you see a single chakra node where his chakra is most potent, perhaps shutting it down would cease his bloodlust.

    Sucks about those 10's, bro.

    You shift your hands and try to adjust your stance as best as you can to stop the incoming damage. With a quick flick of your hand you hit his arm just as its coming down and his blow loses a lot of its power. However, the arm still crashes down on your shoulder.

    Can we examine him with our byakugan to see if we can figure out how his berserk powers work? We could also offer to help him learn to control this ability and maybe improve it if he's willing.

    "I know them." He explains simply and follows you.

    The Senjuu Camp is extremely busy today, for some reason. Shinobi are doing drills left and right, exercises, shuriken throwing, the works. And that is unusual in so far as the Senjuu are usually fairly relaxed, but today they seem to be militarizing.

    You find Honda who is with his family, expanding and then shrinking, and then expanding again and again, to try and get bigger and use less chakra. He looks exhausted.

    Fifteen minutes later and they're still going at it strong, no signs of stopping showing. A large man is barking orders and directing the troops, and at the center of the camp Hashirama is sitting cross-legged, eyes closed as he channels chakra for some unknown reason. His brother stands close at hand with three bodyguards nearby.

    Perhaps we could leave a description of her with the Senjuu?

    That her allegiance to the Uchiha is in doubt.

    Then again though, with her skill in Genjitsu, the chances of the Senjuu catching her is very likely. Shes survived 3 years on the run from the Uchiha, she can take care of herself.

    The Senjuu have no formal power to force the Hyuuga to war. None whatsoever.

    However, they can strongly request that their cousins come with them to battle, if they so choose. They could, however, just leave the fight to themselves.

    >>17018470
    >>17018323
    From what you gather the impending war seems to be coming mostly from Uchiha and Senjuu being pitted as foils against one another so frequently it has become almost an unspoken war, and Tobirama has urged his brother to move the Clan to end the conflict.

    You are escorted outside of the complex when Hashirama begins to speak to everyone. Standing outside you sense a chakra inbound fast to you. When you turn to face it you hear, "Fuyo-Style: Earthen Embrace Jutsu!" Strong tanned arms grip you and hug you tightly, picking you up off the ground with ease before the warm smell of cedar and honey reaches your nose, and you hear the familiar laugh of Momoji, "Why haven't you come and seen me? I thought you were dead!" She says angrily, but you can't help but see the smile on her face as she shakes you.

    A pair of Earth-nin stand awkwardly back a little as they rub their necks and keep a watchful distance.

    "Good." She says simply and eventually as you walk she settles more close to your elbow, but whenever you look you receive a bop on the arm. Your shoulder is pretty sore by the time you get to the restaurant.

    When you arrive you can see why it's so expensive, everything is made right in front of you with the freshest ingredients and tastes amazing. The meal goes on for about an hour and you can tell from the way she eats, the way she talks to you, and how she sits, that she clearly has some professional upbringing. She's possibly a Noble Clan, like yours, but close to the top.

    After the meal she takes you to a bar where the two of you sit down in a private booth and she starts drinking. Whatever appearance of nobility she had in public is gone now. She throws drink after drink down the hatch and winds up finishing her second sake bottle by the time you have a quarter left in her first. She grins widely at the end of it all as she shakes her head, "You know, you're alright Shingen, I like you. But you knew that." She slurrs out as she snuggles up to the wall on her side of the table.

    "Right....right. Ok, yeah I can understand that." She said and smiled again, "So, my specialities?" She said with a cheeky grin, "My specialties include wrestling, hard-fist martial arts, and transformative ninjutsu that's a hallmark of my family." She explains as she leans back, "Land of Earth is no slouch in wealth, and my Clan is one of the top ones." She explains with a smile.

    She grins, "Well, I am the third of seven children, and all of my other siblings are brothers. They all grew big and tall and strong like Dad." She explains before going on, "Anyway, Dad told me that being a shinobi woman made it difficult to be one of our Clan, but I wanted to. I wanted to show everyone how I could rise above my brothers." She explains, "So, I asked Granddad about the other half of our family, the ones who left the Land of Earth and moved to the Land of Iron, in the bitter colds." She explains very clearly, "They taught me about the Way of Heavy Fist." She says and extends her arm, focusing before it grows massive and furred, a huge bear's arm, tipped with a set of huge claws, as she puts it down on the table all the glasses bounce up a few inches, "I can transform myself faster than a blink, so what turns out as a normal punch, becomes a heavy smash with my bear arm."

    You return to find Jako with bloody knuckles, "Guards ran off. Bandits jumped me, boring. Shinobi jumped me, fun. Red-eyed woman attacked me, I cracked her ribs and she left." He explained before flexing his fingers and spitting out blood, "I need some help." He admits before you see how his back is peppered with senbon, at least eighty or so, and blood has pooled under his feet.

    It takes almost all of your chakra as you notice most of his internal organs are burned and punctured. He was on death's door. It was a good thing you didn't go follow Momoji or he would have died from bleeding out.

    "Thanks, Shingen." He says, finally before looking up at you. Once his words are said, however, his eyes go back down as he crosses his arms over his chest as he looks around, "Spears gone."

    There is no blood to be found, beyond that which was at his feet. Jako mentions that he threw several a long way away, pointing where. Two of the spears have shinobi pinned to trees, but one of them hit a tree without hitting a target. You can see the signs of two roughly eight inch rectangular areas of chakra on the shaft of the spear.

    Probably. Second to warn him. He should probably go back to the Senjuu, get them to identify the shinobi that attacked him. They should help him out, they saw him with us earlier today.

    Then we need to ask Jako which way the red-eyed woman ran off to, and get moving.

    He points you at an area in the distance, but something troubles you about the spear. You look again, it's not explosive tags. It's an imprint from such a strong application of chakra in that shape. Using your massive genius you figure out that it was feet, using chakra to grip to the wood, but done clumsily, so much so that the wood is warped from the area. "The woman." He notes, pointing at the spear, "Haven't missed in a while."

    You bound off in the direction he indicated, finding a small trail of blood which dies off after a few hundred feet. You scan the area but, as usual, find nothing of note. She's slipped away from you again.
