[Working on a twitter before I end tonight.]

Your seals are removed from your face and when you look around you see a dark and dingy room with a wall of candles around you. You are still restrained and are now kneeling on the ground in a complex circle of seals and marks. The four who captured you, presumably, are still around you. Two of them move to the smaller circles attached to the big circle you're sitting in. The man who you guess is the one who lead you is pacing nervously.

"Captain, we're ready to begin." One of the seated shinobi, apparently talking to the Hyuga. He walks over and looks down at you, "Hikari..." He then shakes his head and claps his hands. You presume they're going to be doing some sort of ritual on you. Whatever it is, you deserve it, you say to yourself, disheartened.

As you glance around, however, you see one of the seated shinobi, thanks to the way their cloak shifted, you see a dark brown vest with a symbol that looks familiar. You can't quite make it out, but it looks like a sideways triangle with small details beneath it. Whatever it is, it's not the Konoha symbol.

>Act before something happens
>Remain still
>>
>>35076722
Shit. Time to murder.
>>
>>35076722
Well, they've stripped us of our gear and we don't really have anything to work with, and I doubt our normal jutsu are going to do anything.
So I guess we'll just sit here.
>>
>>35076770
>>35076722
This, we don't have anything to oppose them.
>>
>>35076722
>Remain Still
I'd rather not risk fucking this up and increasing the chances of a war.
>>
>>35076722
>Act before something happens
>>
>>35076722
>Remain still
>>
>>35076722
Say Yes they say clearly everything will be better they say... *Throws hands up* I don't trust any of you anons anymore you're all spies as far as I'm concerned.

>act before something happens
>>
>>35076722
>Remain still
Gee, maybe if we had seen that before we may have actually had a chance.
Now we have nothing to oppose them with at all, I'd rather not die just yet.
>>
>>35076722
Can you explain why our Jounin is fucking retarded and why we have nothing resembling a chain of command?
>>
>>35076815
She's a spy.
Everyone is a spy
>>
>>35076815
Alpha Legion Stronk.
>>
>>35076722
And just look at that participation drop.
This is why you don't throw players into the deep end in the first ten minutes
>>
>>35076845
I'm still banking on this being some overly elaborate test that we failed spectacularly.
>>
>>35076869
>implying there weren't a bunch of samefags
>>
>>35076874
I hope it is too, but it's not as if we can do anything right now, either we're going to die or something worse is going to happen.
Like becoming a jinchuuriki
>>
>>35076874
I mean, why else would be sent of a mission with ABSOLUTELY NO information on our team, and NONE of them follow proper chain of command.
>>
>>35076899
Because our brother is a spy.
>>
>>35076914
I can't wait for when we escape, find out it was his fault, go on a roaring rampage of revenge, kill him, and find out he was a good guy.
>>
>>35076894
jinchuuriki have been hand waviumed out of existence for this setting. Crazy ass possibly mind control bullshit has not. Which is what I'm worried about.
>>
>>35076899
We are in Leaf territory, either this is the most covert training mission ever, or the Leaf is in on it.

and considering our hidden villages relations I severely doubt that.
>>
>>35076925
Well what're we going to do?
Take on 4 far superior ninja without our gear?
>>
>>35076941
or we are in the greatest Genjutsu illusion ever created.
>>
>>35076799
>>35076788
>>35076770
>>35076814

The man settles down in front of you and faces you, "Hikari. Do you know what it means to serve your village? What it means to never see your home again and to have everyone you know think you're dead? Did you know that there are things that even shinobi cannot do without being called criminals?"

You look up at his comments, curious as to their bearing. "And, more importantly, that despite our role as weapons for the nation, shinobi have a hard time acting within the parameters of the mission when the goal lies more easily and permanently attainable through less proper ways." He looks at you,

"How far are you willing to go for your Village, Hikari?"

>Ignore him
>Answer (write in)
>>
>>35076943
Stop making sense. It works until it doesn't
>>
>>35076976
>Answer (write in)
Cry.
"This is my second mission, and I'm already bordering on having war declared between two villages, I don't deserve to pledge my life to the sand any more anyway!"
>>
>>35076976
>Ignore him
>>
>>35076996
Second
>>
>>35076941
Still doesn't explain why we were sent on a mission without being told critical information such as "one of our teammates goes FUCKING BERZERK if she tastes her own blood" and that we'd be expected to give all the orders acuse we're apparantly hotshit enough to have been recommended by a Kazekage..
>>
>>35076976

>>35076996
Second. Feign weakness
>>
>>35076996
This I guess.
>>
>>35076976
>Commit sodoku
>>
>>35076976
So that's it. Our team and or our team lead works for this group saw we had potential and set us up to be recruited. My guess is Emiko.
>>
>>35077019
>Feign
It's fucking true though.

>>35076996
This seems to be what we're doing, at least it's in character.
>>
>>35076996
Yeah, this. Fight those tears though, kids. Ninjas dont' cry.
>>
>>35076996
When we were crying before, it was intentional right? To get the guy's sympathy? Because I can't imagine a character who went through as runner up in the chuunin exams and got a nickname as The Scorpion amongst her peers would actually cry at getting caught.
>>
>>35077053
No, the situation we're in is literally the worst we can fucking be in.
>>
>>35076976
>>35076996
So long as we're faking it I'm down for it.
>>
>>35077066
I wouldn't say that. We could've all split up and got into the territory of everyone we're against and risk even more war!
>>
>Leaf finds out we have kekkei genkai
>get thrown into prison and used as breeding stock

this is really OP's magical realm, we were just to stupid to figure it out before things went to shit.
>>
>>35077066
We could be at war.
>>
What if Kazekage-sama wanted to start a war in the first place, and wanted to see if we could establish decent causus belli?
>>
>>35077145
Then he could have stated it.
>>
>>35077020
>>35077019
>>35077011

You break down and cry, but look like you're resisting it as best as you can, "I am just a Chunin, I've never even been given an A-Ranked mission, let alone finished one. I thought my team would have helped me, but no! Everyone there was crazy, Emiko was uncontrollable, and the other one was worse..."

He stands up and nods, "Yes, I know. Remember, the village will not always assign you the best team, or the best leaders, or even tell you everything you need to know. I know what it means to be left up the river like that." The man looks at his two comrades who remain motionless.

"Hikari, did you feel powerless today?" You nod and he walks into the circle. "You've killed one of our members, and rendered two of them out of service for a week. But, you didn't take the easy way out and endured like a true shinobi. The Sand set you up to fall, join us and we can set you up for success."

He extends his hand to you.

>Take it
>Reject him
>>
>>35077145
Then he probably should have told us a bit more than he did.
>>
>>35077162
"Wait wait wait, the sand set me up to fall? Mind explaining that a little bit more?"
>>
>>35077177
Second
>>
>>35077162

>>35077177
This. Have him explain himself.
>>
>>35077162
"Sand set me up?" Stop crying in confusion. Consider spitting on Leaf
>>
>>35077162
Really, QM? You're going to cop out and just explain everything with "It happens"? Really really?
>>
>>35077145
Well he's got some decent bit here if we manage to escape, we know to a decent degree now that the leaf were behind these attacks in our lands, these four are wearing that supposed symbol. The lea village would be hard pressed to explain how one of their major clans is linked to these attacks

All we need now, Is an escape.
I hope they try to make us join them and to kill one if our teammates to do so.
> happily would kill one of the dumbfucks that kazakage threw together

I don't really see much point in continuing, I don't have any idea what's going on and everyone around us has just been acting stupidly, seemingly without reason.
I thought we were just going to be doing missions for the sand and stuff, and well, just be normal ninjas in the super ninja setting.

"Well, obviously, your team was inept. Emiko was just like you said, and Kaoru let out her little problem without anyone telling you. Not to mention, the supposed Jonin in charge leaving." He keeps going, "I can't see that as anything beyond a setup for failure on the part of the village. Besides, I think you'd be a much better fit here than stuck as a lowly Chunin in the village."

While his words do make sense, you do have to wonder how he knows Kaoru's name. Who does he even work for? How does the Leaf know such private information on events that happened beyond their borders?
>>
>>35077302

>Write in a response
[Hit submit too soon.]
>>
>>35077302
Yadda yadda yadda, Sand ninja mole in our team. Probably the party girl or the jounin
>>
>>35077302
"Kaoru? Who's that?"
>>
>>35077302
Try and break the Genjustu going on and call them out on their bullshit.
>>
>>35077325
"Yes, but I gave my consent as well."

Leave him hanging.
>>
>>35077366
why not, worse case they think us crazy and in denial and we get locked up anyway.
>>
>>35077302
>>35077325
"Wait wait wait."
"How do you even know I'm a chunin? These sorts of missions usually go to Jounins and such, this doesn't make sense at all."
"Not to mention, unless you managed to receive a full document of information on every single one of the anonymous members of our group, which is highly unlikely, then you already have spies in the sand."
"Or a mole, which could be why I'm here in the first place, the mole plants the leaf headband, advises us to go to the leaf and then gets us into trouble, you ambush us, take one of us under the pretext of averting a war, then convince them over to your side by stating that they were "left up the river""
"Either that or you've gone back on the deal, interrogated the rest of the crew and found out this information, in which case you're traitorous bastards who don't deserve my help anyway."
>>
>>35077366
This
>>
>>35077325
>>35077410
I like this but you might be giving away a bit too much...

I'll second it I suppose.
>>
>>35077410
Well, that's pretty comprehensive. Second
>>
>>35077410
A little wordy and I doubt we'd get to say all of that, but yeah, going with this as the general gist of what to say.
>>
>>35077429
Will keeping it to ourselves help us?
No, so why not show our hand?
>>
>>35077410
Seconding this, I guess.
>>
>>35077410
>>35077302
Definitely gonna say to go for this.
>>
>>35077410
Or it's all a Genjustu going on in our head and we should try and break it anyway even if it really going on.
>>
>>35077366
>>35077410


He knows too much, and you have too many questions. However, there is the possibility this is an illusion. You put your lip in your mouth and, as you were trained, bite down hard, enough to draw blood, but disappointingly, nothing happens.

You face him and he shakes his head, "No, this isn't a Genjutsu. I'm afraid you were really caught behind enemy lines, what a tragedy. Look, Hikari, just give up and work for us, let us give you a chance to escape this." He seems desperate now.

You frown at him and start asking him questions now. "How do you know what rank I am? How did you know everything about my team like that? The only way I see you knowing all of this is we were screwed from the get-go. Either you have a rat in my team, or you already have operatives in the sand. Or, you captured the rest of my team and interrogated them. Doesn't matter which, there's no way that trusting you is the right move."

The man sighs as a door opens at the far side of the room. A gravelly voice calls out from the shrouded figure. He is clearly a young man, and you can see the vague outline of his extremely spiky hair. "Were you able to bring her over to us?" The man in front of you kneels, "No, my lord. She....doesn't see the wisdom in our cause." The man at the door remains quiet. "Then extract her Kekkei Genkai and be done with her. Your weakness is noted." The shadowy man closes the door.

The leader faces you and shakes his head as he pulls a kunai out.

>>35077570

"Why didn't you take the easy way out by joining us, Hikari?" The man advances on you as his two comrades keep watch over you. You look worriedly at the knife as you shift your arms, still restrained as they are by the metal chains that hold you still. Your hands are pressed together behind your back. If you do anything surprising you think that the two seated members will simply use a restraining Jutsu, so if you have any action at all planned it would have to kill or disable all of them.

Naturally, they've stripped you of your pack and scrolls, leaving you very bereft of weapons. You have only your sandals, your cloth shirt with metal buttons, and the chain that binds you in arm's reach.
>>
>>35077570
Magnetic forging would really come in handy turning these cuffs into a weapon.
>>
>>35077638

>What is your action?
>>
>>35077665
abandon quest
>>
>>35077638
Could we focus and shoot our metal buttons into each one's head, killing them?

If not, then explode those chains out and have them restrain the guys who would restrain us?
>>
>>35077665
What, you actually expect us to do something? We literally have 0 options besides sit there and let them do it. Unless praying for some divine intervention counts.
>>
>>35077665
Unless we can pull some voodoo level bullshit and make the iron in their bodies rocket out... or fire these buttons/chains at them... I'm not entirely sure.
>>
>>35077665
try and kill self so at least the Leaf does not get our Kekkei Genkai
>>
>>35077665
Sit there and die I guess.
>>
>>35077665
Let the knife stab us, infect it with Chakra. Then infect the guy with chakra, and send him flying back. Infect our cuffs and roll back, keep our arms charged so we can give the Hyuga a dose ASAP.
>>
>>35077665
Use magnetism to snap our own neck. Leaf cannot get hold of our ability.
>>
>>35077638
Can we auto add the Magnetized effect to ourselves? If so, discharge to get the leader magnetized and then use our unique ability to repel him.
>>
>>35077665
killing ourself is really the only tactically viable thing we can do.

>>35077665

>>35077740
seconding this. Let's see if we can go magnito on his ass.
>>
>>35077638
If the chains are touching us we can magnitize them and force them free from the chains. With only a few needles we sent a guy through a tree, and if this place has windows...

We are Throwing ourselves out of it like a javelin.

Boy I sure hope there's a lake, moat, or pool within the "maglift" range
>>
>>35077665
"It's not as if you're MAKING it easy for me to join you, inconsistent stories, bondage, problems all around, and that isn't even mentioning loyalty to the sand."
And I'm not sure what we should do for a plan of action.

We can use our buttons to redirect ourselves.

Just do nothing.
I don't even know if this a test or anything else, but killing them at this stage would be hard.

>>35077750
Anon, there's two people in the room most likely waiting for us to do exactly that so they can stomp down on any attempts.
>>
>>35077665
Goddamnit Okay>>35077762
Or >>35077740
>>
>>35077789
Instead, let's just give up and kill ourselves, accomplishing nothing! Great idea, anon!
>>
>>35077750
and what get captured a few hours later when we run out of chakra in leaf territory?

we don't even want to go back to the sand anyway because we will be forever stuck as Chunin and forever disgraced.

Killing ourself is probably the best option.
>>
>>35077665
Laugh
"So you're not going to torture me for information on the sand, the operatives and everything else?"
"Incompetence upon incompetence, joining you would have been a stupid move."
>>
>>35077762
Closest thing to a plan that involves survival here.
>>
>>35077807
>>35077766
Seconding this and doing nothing, this is obviously a test
>>
>>35077740
The buttons are the answer.

Charge each of our buttons up, then repel them from ourselves fast enough to hit all four members at once. After that, it's just tossing them around how we want to.
>>
>>35077665
Do nothing
>>
>>35077665
Let our self die.

You close your eyes and calm yourself. You slowly charge the chains around you, alternating each link with a different charge. When the leader gets close you charge yourself with magnetic energy. The knife is jerked aside as it passes your neck. He shakes his head and drops the knife. "Right, your tricky magnetic powers make it hard to stab you. Well, I have plenty of blood." He wipes some off the ground and puts it in a vial.

Once his attention is elsewhere you decide to spring into action. You charge every link of the chain you can, as well as him.

The chains around your hands explode outwards with violent force, either rushing away from you, or harmlessly sticking to you. The leader himself is thrown against the door with violent speed, the jagged pieces of chain flying unerringly to him, landing with a wet thud in his chest, legs, and arms. The other two members fare no better. Chains riddle their faces and hands, forcing them to fall backwards.

Now free you quickly run towards the door and press your hands against it, charging it opposite you and blasting it open. All this charging, however, is draining your chakra reserves quickly. Fortunately for you, you aren't in the Leaf village. Judging from the ground, you are back in the neutral territory, not too far from the checkpoint. Emiko and Kaoru may be gone, but Akita may be here.
You run as quickly as you can.

(cont)
>>
>>35077665
Use Kekkei Genkai on chains, just dump everything into it, will probably kill us, but will hopefully kill some of them too
>>
>>35077886

You quickly gain your bearings once you're back in the open and reach the camp in short order. Akita and his silent partner are sitting there. He jumps up, "Hikari! Are you ok?! What happened?" You collapse in front of him and he supports you, "We can talk later. Let's get out of here. Climb inside Hanshiro." The man next to him violently jerks as his chest ruptures through his robe and reveals a rather spacious sitting space with seals marked all around it. "We'll be back home soon. Just rest."

Do you trust him?

>>35077932

>>
>>35077932
>Don't trust him.
Don't call him a traitor, though. That's just retarded.
>>
>>35077932
Not trusting anyone till we run head first into the kazekage and inform him that people are stealing the blood powers bullshit and may have snagged ours.
>>
>>35077932
>>Don't trust him
but don't accuse him-just don't get in the puppet

also, what's the significance of taking the blood?
>>
>>35078009
>>35078018
Yeah. Unless we know his ass is traitor, lets not pull out the 'T' word just yet. That shit just leads to pointless fights when we should be getting our ass out of dodge.
>>
>>35078018

"I can get along just fine. Let's just run." You ignore the burning pain in your muscles and your throbbing lip as you run along with him, his puppet trailing behind the both of you. You want to chew him out and call him out for being a traitor, but exhausted as you are, if he is, the fight will finish you off. You can handle this later, living in the most important thing.

The trip home is eerily quiet. Finally the grass and trees give way to the cold desert night, the dawn coming to greet you as you arrive at the gates of the village.

You don't even bid farewell to Akita as you head to your apartment and hold yourself up against the door-frame shakily. You are burning well past your chakra limits, and at this point are running on adrenaline only. Rest would do you well...but this possible mole...

Ooooh I'm so tired is bullshit this is important dammit.
>>
>>35077979
We didn't even have to roll for it, it was just an automatic success for no other reason then the OP couldn't figure out another way to get us out of the situation he put us in.

AKA: Bullshit.

>>35078072
>>35078065
It's a hereditary thing, not literally in the blood.

Sleep.

Also, tripwire around doors, windows, and possibly fridge.
>>
>>35078059
Go straight to him. Tell him absolutely everything.
>>
>>35078092
The fact that they collected the blood and said "Got what we needed" says differently.
>>
>>35078091
Who cares?
The quest will actually be going places now.

>>35078059
Go to him, now.

>>35078059
>Go address him immediately
>>35078063
>>35078065
>>35078072
but doesn't that mean it's stupidly easy to copy these abilities? if you can just shoot up some blood and have it, even temporarily, why are these abilities considered rare?

We can pass out later.

It's an evil organization that may parallel the big bads in cannon Naruto who ripped Massive evil demons from people. So It wouldn't be too much of a stretch to steal powers from peoples blood... or make a clone. Naruto verse has a lot of clones.
>>
>>35078114
>Shoot up some blood and have it, even temporarily
That's just it. These abilities are guarded jealously, and only the people who have a large supply of the correct blood (read: the people who actually produce it) would be able to use it to any great effect.

yes, but any self-respecting village would just hook the people with these abilities up to IV drips, draining them as dry as possible while simultaneously healing them. Kekkai Genkai wielders could be used to churn out super soldiers like mad, especially since we just finished a ninja world war or something

Rallying yourself for one more stretch, you turn around and head to the Kazekage's office at a respectable clip. Naturally, his guards don't want him disturbed in his sleep, but you insist that it's importance is of gravest significance to the village.

You are sitting in the Council Chambers, a big empty room with stone chairs and a wide granite table. Without warning the Kazekage appears on the other side of the room in his traditional robes, but not wearing the hat. "Araki Hikari, what is of such great importance you have come to me at this hour?"

You tell him about the mission, the exact course of events, but not exactly why they happened they did. You tell him about how the organization that captured you clearly worked for Leaf in some capacity, or was at least partially organized with former Leaf shinobi. Then you tell him that they wanted to steal bloodlines.

He nods his head, "I see...and you say that the interrogator was able to only take a vial of blood?" You nod, "Well...such a small amount isn't enough to do anything harmful that I am aware of. It's not as easy as a Soldier Pill, to actually steal a Kekkei Genkai like yours requires almost a total transfusion. It's not as easy to take as a Sharingan Eye."

He sits up, "Now, onto the more pressing issue. Do you have any suspects to the informant's identity?"

the junior member of the team was for some reason given Command of their first A rank mission with a completely incompetent squad to back them up.

they only reason given for this is "shit happens man, deal with it"
>>
>>35078229
Ask the Kazekage to please for the love of God set up proper chain of command for all future missions above C rank.
>>
>>35078229
"It could be any member of my squad. Emiko's childishness could be an act, for all I know, Akita ran off when he was supposed to be leading this thing, his partner never said a word and was watching everything, and Karou is the observant type that makes for an excellent spy. Or it might be someone completely unrelated to the mission, even."
>>
>>35078229
OP, literally anything we put here is just a shot in the dark. Only confusing thing is why we had a checkpoint at all, since Akita was heading back to the village, but that seems to have actually been the plan
>>
>>35078229
I don't want to out anyone. But clearly we had a mole in our team. It was Emiko's idea to head to Konohana - However Berzerker found the head band.

Emiko let us take the fall for leadership...

Who the fuck was supposed to be in-charge?
>>
>>35078288
We need a proper chain of command for anything above D rank missions really.
>>
>>35078229
"Several."
"I want to confirm that you indeed send out the mission request for me, if not then the first suspect would be my brother."
"Then there was my companions, the first of which showed signs was Emiko, who concerned my identity, despite this being an anonymous mission, and decided to move us into the leaf village, and while there encouraged behavior that would be counter productive to the mission."
"Akita was also present during my interrogation, I advise you to quickly mobilize and arrest him, as he returned with me."
"I am unsure, however Kaoru appeared to be the only one innocent throughout the affair."
>>
>>35078306
>Who the fuck was supposed to be in-charge?
I think us? everyone kept making suggestions and expecting us to make actual decisions, I think
>>
>>35078342
Seconding that
>>
>>35078343
Why....why? We weren't told we were in-charge... Right? Did I miss that? Why in the name of god would a second mission bare-bones ninja be in command?
>>
>>35078342
>Emiko decided to move us to the leaf village
false. she suggested it, the decision was ours
>Akita was present during interrogation
false. he was at a rendezvous point we apparently set up despite telling him to report back to the village
>>
>>35078343
why did no one tell beforehand that we had Command?

and why would a nearly fresh Chunin be given command of their first ever A rank mission?
>>
>>35078231
>given command
The fuck are you talking about? I can agree on the incompetent squad bit, though. They didn't know what to do therefore, the moments that we ever really made decisions was because we had two fucks against each other and what we said was the tiebreaker.
>>
>>35078357
we weren't told that anybody was in charge, we just made the decisions
>>
>>35078342
This.. is wrong.
>>35078364
This guy is accurate. Also Calling ANYONE who went with us innocent is favoritism.
>>
>>35078342
Seconding this, however change
>"Akita was also present during my interrogation, I advise you to quickly mobilize and arrest him, as he returned with me."

To >>35078364
He was at the rendezvous point
>>
>>35078342
but all of this, except maybe the second and last line, is wrong
>>
>>35078364
Alright, changing it up.

"Several."
"I want to confirm that you indeed send out the mission request for me, if not then the first suspect would be my brother."
"Then there was my companions, the first of which showed signs was Emiko, who concerned my identity, despite this being an anonymous mission, and also advised us to move into the leaf village, and while there encouraged behavior that would be counter productive to the mission."
"Akita, despite his mission to report to the village about the information we had received, was at the rendezvous point, I would like to have a confirmation he did indeed file a report, if he did not I suggest arresting him immediately"
"I am unsure, however Kaoru appeared to be the only one innocent throughout the affair, however I cannot confirm this."
>>
>>35078380
So we basically had command, despite a Jounin also being on the mission.
>>
>>35078229
"Who... was supposed to be in command of our squad?"

Simple Question Offers Prime suspect.

>>35078342

"I don't know who, it could be anyone I was in contact with during the mission and whoever organized it. I know you issued it, my Lord, but someone manipulated us. Some are more obviously suspicious than others, but I wouldn't put anyone past suspicion." He nods and unblinkingly says, "Should I just put them all to death? Jonin are valuable, but as rats they're a bigger liability than anyone else. I hope this episode did not give you a poor opinion of my leadership, Araki-san. Of course, the proper first move would be to arrest and interrogate them. You know that includes your brother, correct? Even though he's unlikely to do something like this, I have to be sure. Emiko, Akita, your brother, Kaoru, the issuing officer, and the Special Jonin who took the order from me. I did not hand select the Jonin, but I did hand select you to take part because I trusted your ability. I was proven correct. You did not give your squad up, nor did you start an incident."

He rose, "I'll have them all arrested now. You know, of course, we will need to do a proper interrogation for you as well, for the sake of security."

>Consent to the interrogation
>Try to plead your way out.
>>
OP, who the fuck was actually in command of the mission? and
If it was us, why?
if it wasn't us, why did they listen to a first-mission newbie?
>>
>>35078438
>Consent to the interrogation

>WHO WAS SUPPOSED TO BE IN COMMAND?!
>>
>>35078438
>Consent to the interrogation
why would we do otherwise?
>>
>>35078438
>Consent to the interrogation
>>
>>35078438
"Of course, though I doubt my brother is a part of it. If he was, they'd have had no use for me. He'd have simply donated his own blood."
>>
>>35078438
Damn It OP, tell us who was supposed to be in command.
>>
>>35078438
>Consent to the interrogation
"I only incriminate my brother due to his passing me of the mission itself, however since you hand selected me for the mission, I believe he does not need to be interrogated."
>>
>>35078497
it takes all the blood to transplant a Kekkei Genkai like ours.
>>
>>35078506
>Contractees: 2 Jonin, 1 Special Jonin Adjunct and Coordinator, 1 Medic, and Hikari Araki (optional)"
The coordinator, appears to be.
>>
>>35078438
If the Kazekage says us.. I vote we bail on the goddamn nation because that's just fucking stupid.
>>
>>35078497
>>35078508
Bro didn't want to die and he's a useful agent so they either recruit sister or gut her. For the good of all because after all The nations led to our parents death and we shouldn't have to live in a world where the nations fight! SO killing us is okay because it will lead to a better world.

Insane naruto bullshit logic is go.
>>
>>35078526
and who was he/she?
>>
>>35078527
Huh? What are you bitching about? That the Kazezage would implicate us for allowing ourselves to be captured and nearly being put to death?
>>
>>35078623
I mean if he says we were in command we should just get up and leave because as the ruler of a nation he should have far more sense.
>>
>>35078524
>>35078539
Maybe he gives them a bag at a time and they store it with jutsu?
>>
>>35078506
>>35078488
>>35078487
>>35078481

"I, of course, consent, my Lord. But I must know, who was supposed to lead that squadron?" He looks at you unblinkingly before sighing, "Whoever the issuing officer assigned to it. I'll check the record, but off hand, I would suggest it was supposed to be Emiko, the Special Jonin, despite her temperment, she is a very skilled medic and works as an adjunct well most of the time. Akita and Kaoru, both Jonin, are always issued together because of Kaoru's condition. Akita is very skilled at handling her and can keep her as a functional shinobi. Obviously, I am not involved in the mission coordination of every mission, so I do not know for certain, but I assure you the officer will have a lot to answer for."

"For now, though, you may rest in one of the guest bedrooms." He dismisses you and calls forth his most loyal agents and dispatches them immediately for the arrest of the others you've implicated.

You collapse into the bed, utterly and totally exhausted.

[And we're gonna stop there for the evening. I hope we managed to get through alright, everyone. Got a twitter for updates. Tomorrow I will not be running this week, though from now on Wednesdays will be run days, because of RL business.]

[Twitter: https://twitter.com/KumaSennin99]

[I can do Q&A for a brief time, 20 minutes tops.]
>>
>>35078646
We weren't in charge, but we took responsibility for the shit-flying.
>>
>>35078623
T think he is saying that if the Kazekage tells us WE were supposed to be in command then he is a complete retard for putting us in command and that we should defect to an actually competent ninja village.
>>
>>35078659
What the fuck happened?
>>
>>35078659
I like Emiko's personality. I'm always fan of the brawler drinker type. But I'm leaning towards her being the goddamn spy. She's either horribly incompetent or a traitor.
>>
>>35078678
[That's kind of the point of the plot, to find out. If my execution of intrigue was poor, I'm sorry to hear that you aren't having a good time.]

>>35078685
[We'll be finding out on Saturday, hopefully.]
>>
>>35078703
If it's gross incompetence I can totally forgive her so long as she's never in command again. She could have been manipulated into that position for her... inability to lead.
>>
>>35078703
I expected a different sort of plot really, one that was a bit more normal and less cloak & dagger really.
How well did we do out of ten?
>>
>>35078741
[The cloak & dagger thing was a bit of an experiment. I'll see how everyone looks back on it once we're done with this arc and, if it's as poorly received as it appears, we'll see a definite tonal shift. As far as how well you all did, I think you did as well as you possibly could. We emerged from that situation better than we had any right to.]

>>35078729
[So, even if she were at fault for this shit-show you would still wanna hang with her? Pretty big of you.]
>>
>>35078659
Why is there no proper chain of Command, this is basic Military tactics 101 we are talking here.

Chain of Command should be included in every mission report issued to outgoing ninja squads.
>>
>>35078781
>We emerged from that situation better than we had any right to.]
I think you plot bullshitted our escape a little.
>>
>>35078800
Actually, that's roughly how I expected our escape to go. He had the escape in mind the moment he made the situation, and just needed the anons to suggest it. We did, so he went through with it.
>>
>>35078791
[As the Kazekage said, that falls to the Issuing Officer. The Kage has more to handle than personally organizing every mission. So, even if the Issuing Officer is innocent, he's probably going to lose his job or worse for incompetence.]

>>35078800
[You're certainly welcome to that idea, and I can see how you got it. If anything, this reflect poorly on my system this early in the juncture. We are auto-successing at 12 because of our training. Most people's passive defense rests at around 11, the people in the room were all 13's. The chances of you failing to get 1 success on 3 dice is pretty slim. So, I'll have to adjust passive defense so that being unaware is not so damning. But also, as >>35078829 says, I did have the hope that you would see the chains as a way out, plus our UA. Perhaps it was a bit of a vague/weak setup.]
>>
>>35078829
you say that like it's a good thing, the escape required no rolls, it didn't matter that we were grossly out numbered and it only worked because it was the only out the OP gave us to an extremely shitty situation.
>>
>>35078781
>Pretty big of you.

Nah I have a soft spot for her personality type specifically. However Traitors gotta get ganked.
>>
>>35078847
It's not the fact that unaware people have shitty defense, its the fact that should have been aware and ready for us to try and fight and escape.
>>
>>35079014

Incompetence goes all round apparently. Hmm we must capture this person who is able to control metal. Quick BIND THEM IN METAL!
>>
>>35078880
It's not like we didn't have enough time to charge each link of the chains individually.
>>35079032
It's not like anyone's presumably seen a Chunin make a hand grenade out of a length of chain before. Kekkai Genkai are fucking bullshit and nobody outside the clan or village that has them really understands how they work or what they can do.

Also, if you didn't want to get captured, blame the half of the thread that voted to follow Emiko's retarded-ass suggestion, and pray they learned to stop being so stupid.
