You stop running once the last clone is eliminated, and you walk over to Rokuro, who is sweating as hard as you were. The Water Clone jutsu is impressive for a Genin to know, and you get the feeling that you were as instrumental in helping him learn how to use it as he was in helping you. You walk over to Rokuro. "Thanks for the exercise, but it's starting to get late and I've had a long day. I'm gonna head home."

He nods, and smiles. "Likewise. I'll see you around."

You head home, and find your brother, watching TV and grilling pork just as before. Today he seems to have boiled some vegetables in a pot as well. He waves in your direction as you enter. "Hey Takeshi, you look beat. Long day?"

>A. I had my first mission and did some training. It went pretty well.
>B. My sensei is nuts.
>C. Yeah, but you should see how much I got paid for the mission!

we went a bar, then i blew up some thugs, good times

You smile. "Bro, I bet you my first mission was crazier than yours."

He chuckles, popping one of the vegetables in his mouth. "Probably. I walked some dogs. What did you do?"

You take a seat at the kitchen table, and you place the stack of money that you've earned onto the table. "My team went to a bar and blew up some thugs." Your brother looks at you funny. "That sounds a little intense for a bunch of Genin, heh." You nod. "I'd think so too, but our Sensei took us to this bar at a nearby town. We protected it from a gang who wanted to break in and wreck the place up."

Your brother scratches the stubble on his chin, and takes a drink of a glass of milk. "Well, at least it was for a good purpose then. Maybe that'll help the crime problem in general. No one will want to go out when children are playing now, you never know which one will be a shinobi, haha!" You chuckle, and enjoy a dinner with your brother before standing up.

"I'm going to head to sleep. I want to wake up early tomorrow so I have time to do some stuff."

He nods. "Night, Takeshi."

You peacefully rest, only a little bit sore in the morning. You shower, get dressed, have a small breakfast, and head out the door. The entire Leaf Village is open to you until the afternoon, where you must meet your Sensei at the training field. What do you do?

>A.Go to the town center.

I'd rather buy a melee weapon

How much money do we have again?

>>42113459
he's asleep in his bed, and it's like 8 AM

>>42113360
>D.Go to the Academy and study.
Gotta learn anatomy eventually. Plus look up how to create or own poison

Pretty much what >>42113407 was saying but for free

>>42113464
10000 Ryo, which for the purpose of this quest I'll say translates to roughly 100 bucks.

>>42113464
Shouldn't you be running a quest or something?

>>42113483
Later then, do it later.If we go to the market find his favorite meal and bring it to him later.

Currently catching up with the archive. Hope we get to see Rock Lee with his and Tenten's son next time we meet him.

>>42113526
He'd rather you put your time towards something constructive like training or studying or being social.

>>42113516
Leave him alone! I'm still just glad he's not kill!

Should we get another cool weapon to go with our senbons? Like that umbrella thing that can shoot out a shit ton of them?

Correct

Is Shikimaru and Temari at least still together?

That's what it looked like in this setting unless I've gotten it horribly wrong.

This is cannon appearance far as I know

Where were these guys when we met Mari? She's best girl so far

You soon find yourself in the market, and look around. Something in particular is on your mind, buying poison and possibly information on anatomy. You find a few stands for herbalists medicines and the like, but you can't seem to find anything specifically for poison. You approach an elderly man at a stand. "Do you know where I could buy some poison?"

He nods. "Yeah, you can get some rat poison about four stand's down. Guy makes it himself, gets the job done every time!"

You shake your head. "I mean like poison for shinobi. For people."

The man leans on his stand with one arm, and shakes his head. "Freakin' kids. What does someone your age want with poison? It's not like you're gonna be running into anyone that needs killed on missions of your level."

>A.I could kick your ass and I'm twelve, you know that right?
>B.If I don't practice, how am I going to be effective when I'm older?
>C.Being a Genin isn't just another part of school, I'm a real shinobi.
>D.Write-in

>>42113713
I like this. We need a good AoE and can go full Metal Storm to clear out Naruto style clone spam and other situations like that.

>>42113751
Yeah, they have their son

>>42113788
>D
We aren't looking for anything to kill just to incapacitate.

>>42113788
>B.If I don't practice, how am I going to be effective when I'm older?

>>B.If I don't practice, how am I going to be effective when I'm older?

"You'd be surprised. Well do you have an alternate solution?"

>>42113788
>>B.If I don't practice, how am I going to be effective when I'm older?

>>42113788
Go look for weapons instead

>>42113788
>D.Write-in
Go to the rat poison guy, if he makes it himself he can probably make more potent stuff and maybe teach us

>>42113763
Could always put a short-sword into it and even modify it to shoot out fire.

We go Penguin on everyone's asses.

>>42113867
dude we've got a 100 bucks, that's not enough for a sword or any amazing melee weapon.

Alright I just tuned in and guys if you want to get poison you don't just buy it in the market, probably the best way is to find some shinobi scrolls detailing some poisons and acquire the herbs by collecting or buying to make the poison ourselves.

>>42113903
We won't know for sure unless we look. Poison is boring.

>>42113957
Are you new to this quest? We're the most boring ninja ever, deal with it

>>42113890
Good Idea M8
Second

>>42113890
This could work actually

>>42113867
"If I don't practice, how am I going to be effective when I'm older?"

He leans up, and shrugs. "Alright, you got me there. I'd rather not lose a son because I wouldn't give directions to you and you had bad poison or something. You should be able to find poison at the specialty weapon shop a few blocks down. You can't miss it, the signs for the sales are everywhere. The owners are a renowned family of Shinobi."

You nod. "Thanks, mister. Appreciate it."

You head down the road, until you find a shop covered in posters for various weaponry. They apparently do custom forges and sell all sorts of maintenance products, as well as general shinobi tools or equipment. When you walk in, it's like you've stepped into a weapon emporium. There's woman who looks to be in her thirties sitting at the counter, who smiles and waves when you walk in. She's wearing a white, long sleeve button up shirt, and red pants. She also has a leaf headband on, and brown hair with buns in the back. "Hello there. I don't think I've seen you around here before, young man. My name is Tenten, my family owns this shop. Is there something I can help you with?

She's the best. Also IC we don't know Mari is her daughter, we'll prolly find out soon though

Ask for her expertise on what weapon would be good for us, our teammates and our sensei. Then advise our team to get what Tenten recommends.

Guys. PUPPETS.

WE CAN GET PUPPETS.

>>42114494
Which we have no idea how to properly use. Wait guys good things come in time

>>42114494
Doesn't really fit our style. Puppets are really only good if you completely specialize in them, and I'd like to stick to our generalist approach.

>>42114494
Nah.

>>42114248
>>C.Do you have any poison?
>E.Do you have any support items?

>>42114248
>F
Brows there wears and see what catches you're eye. We can ask more once we get a better idea on what we want.

>>42114564
Just a small puppet, for recon. It could help with our chakra control.

>>42114689
>Puppet
>Recon
Literally any "advanced" clone technique or small summon would be objectively better.

>>42114738
We need to know a little bit of everything in order to be a jack of all trades. It would help us counter puppet users better if we knew how to work a puppet.

So while we shouldn't get one now, we should learn about them later on.

>>42114446
"Hello, my name is Takeshi. Do you have any poison?" you ask.

Tenten nods. "We do carry a mass produced liquid poison that's used all over the globe. Specialized stuff you'll have to request at the Flower shop."

You blink. "They sell poison at the Flower Shop?"

Tenten chuckles. "That's right. The Yamanaka family that owns the store are very familiar with flora, and being shinobi, they use it to great effect. If you know how to make something that even they don't, you can custom order individual plants. It's expensive though, I have to warn you! The prices of the flowers can be bad enough, around the holiday's." She winks at you, and you get the impression she's just jesting at the competition on the market.

"Thanks." you say. "Do you have any books or anything on anatomy?"

She frowns. "Hmm, you'd be better off trying the Academy library for something like that. The only thing we have of that nature is these human-shaped paper targets with the vitals marked. But I'm guessing you could get that kind of training with any of your friends that can make clones."

You nod. "Right. Well, what about support items?"

She waggles a finger in your direction. "Now those we have! What would you like? We have flash bombs, smoke bombs, wire, food pills, bells for distractions, multitools, explosive tags, etcetera etcetera."

>A. Can I buy some of the generic poison? (1 vial for 3000 Ryo, 10 uses.)
>B. Can I buy some flash bombs? (2 for 2000 Ryo)
>C. Can I buy some smoke bombs? (3 for 3000 Ryo)
>D. Can I buy some bells? (10 for 2000 Ryo)
>E. Can I buy some wire? (10 uses for 3000 Ryo)
>F. Can I buy some explosive tags? (1 for 4000 Ryo)

>>42114772
It would be even better to study how to cut their chakra strings.

>>42114793
Yeah, Chakra control and a bladed weapon would be best for that, I believe.

>>42114783
>A. Can I buy some of the generic poison? (1 vial for 3000 Ryo, 10 uses.)
>E. Can I buy some wire? (10 uses for 3000 Ryo)

>>42114783

Whatever else we get, we need a boom boom

>>42114783

These purchases work for me>>42114818

>>42114818
If we don't have a blade we can infuse with chakra, we could maybe look into the chakra scalpels medical ninja use.

>>42114783
>B. Can I buy some flash bombs? (2 for 2000 Ryo)
>E. Can I buy some wire? (10 uses for 3000 Ryo)

>>42114783
>What do you recommend for a good deal?

>>42114818
>>42114859
Better save some money for that anatomy book.

>>42114783
can we get a multitool and and some bells?

>>42114872
We've got senbons. Maybe we can learn to throw them accurately enough to cut wires? And if we infuse them with chakra and hit the opponents vital points, we could do something similar to Gentle Fist.

>>42114907
The academy library is a library, mate. We can study the book there without checking it out.

>>42114907
we can get it for free at the library

>>42114910
soon, so soon.
>>42114935
This

>>42114910
Don't they have to be made out of special materials to be infused with chakra? Could get pretty expensive to stay stocked.

>>42114907
You mean Ichi Ichi: Anatomy right? Because I hear that it was ghost written by Jiraiya's pupil.

>>42114783
>E. Can I buy some wire? (10 uses for 3000 Ryo)
>F. Can I buy some explosive tags? (1 for 4000 Ryo)
>G. Write in
"Do you know any thrown weapons besides senbon that can deliver poison with just as much accuracy?"

>>42115015
so senbon?

>>42114973
No, you can infuse chakra into regular metal. We just need plenty of chakra control.

>>42114783
>>A. Can I buy some of the generic poison? (1 vial for 3000 Ryo, 10 uses.)
>>E. Can I buy some wire? (10 uses for 3000 Ryo)
>G. Multitool

>>42115001
It's supposed to have some very authentic scenes with a mature medical ninja and a young patient!

>>42115034
Better get learning on that tree climbing and water walking then.

>>42115034
I'm probably thinking about elemental chackra.

>>42115034
Some metals or alloys are more conductive. It's not exactly an issue of control, it's more an issue of volume.

>>42113694
We trolled the fuck out of their daughter, too. Managed to punch her square in the fucking face during a spar, then yielded before she could hit us back.
I predict that, if we keep doing that kinda shit, in six to eight years it'll turn into some Brock Samson/Molotov Cocktease kinda deal.

>>42114818
>>42114826
>>42114834
>>42114835
>>42114887
>>42115015
You purchase all of the equipment that you can fit into your weapon's pack, even going as far as to buy a second pack to place on the other side of your hip. Now you have one for your senbon, kunai, and shuriken, and then one for your support items. You now have a vial of poison, an explosive tag, wire, and two flash bombs. Tenten even gave you a free multitool for being a good first time customer and buying a lot.

Now you have 88,000 Ryo left. "Thanks." You say, smiling. "Do you know of any other ways to deliver poison that are just as accurate as a senbon?"

Tenten seems to think for a moment, placing her finger on the tip of her chin before holding it up as an idea hits her. "A deceptively friendly cup of tea! They'll never see it coming!"

You chuckle, and give thanks for the advice, although it wasn't really what you were meaning.

You tell Tenten goodbye and leave the weapon store. That took about an hour. It's 9 o' clock. Where do you want to go?

>A.Go to the town center.

I just realized I've been adding a zero to this currency after I said you guys got 10,000.

Pretend everything has one less zero!

I say cooking nin.

Then we can actually use Tenten's method without it being suspicious.

>>42115186
>D

I think we've trained a fair amount, now we need to get even smarter cause that's one of the few things we can have go for us.

>>42115268
You know if we become good enough at medical jutsu, we can get chakra scalpels? Also there's that technique where you sever the opponents insides without breaking the skin, or where you rewire their nerves so the controls for their body get all screwed up.

>>42115277
Let's just get really good at brewing tea. We'll be renowned for making the best cuppa in the entire village.

>>42115252
I'd honestly prefer traps and demolitions route, but knifehands poisonspewing healbot might be cool.

>>42115309
You know. I wonder why none of the Hyuugas became medical nin. It seems right up their alley.

>>42115347

>>42115347
Same reason they don't usually go into gen or ninjutsu. It would sully the perfect purity of the gentle fist. Or some such nonsense.

>>42115347
Probably because they're the best goddamn hand to hand fighters in the entire village. It's what their known for, and considering how important tradition is to them, I doubt they'd just let one of their members study medicine.

>>42115343
Au contraire, mon ami. The traps and demolitions are done by our fellow team members.

We should have bought some element paper, that way bro might be able to help us out and i dont imagine it would cost much

>>42115347
>>42115393
Because glorious melee combat anon
(fucking captcha)

>>42115347
Because the Hyuugas are power gamers, never go support.

>>42115401
>>42115406
Medical techniques would do nothing but enhance their abilities.

With their byakugan they would be the best damn medics in the business too.

Eh. Just something to think about I guess.

>>42115412
I don't think we know element paper exists. We should ask sensei about it later.

>>42115441
Yeah thats true
Although its hard to tell because Naruto is an idiot and knows so exposition in the anime/manga are always at weird times, for all we know its something mentioned early on

You make your way to the Academy, and enter. You say hello to a few of your teachers that you see, and enter the library. There are all sorts of books, but you came here with a particular goal in mind. You want to read a book on anatomy to improve your aim with senbon, and maybe even just learn a little bit about the human body. You've got no idea how medical ninjutsu works, but you figure that since a requirement of it is advanced chakra control, it might help you to get better at Genjutsu as well.

You walk around the library, searching through rows of books. You come around a corner to the section that you believe your desired book to be, and spy a girl from your class at that exact spot. Her name is Sarada Uchiha, and she has an infamous reputation as a genius. During your years at the Academy, you would often hear the teachers praising her and her abilities both as a shinobi, and an academic. You would be lying if said that you didn't feel a bit jealous of her abilities, your goal of wanting to become the strongest shinobi has her along the path, waiting.

Same as Mari. You're really going to have to step it up if you want to compete.

She seems to be dragging her hands along the book shelf, searching. What do you do?

>A. Cast an illusion on her to change the title of the book that you're looking for, to ensure that she doesn't grab it.
>B. Walk out and try to get your book, normally.
>C. Wait! Don't pick that book!"
>D. Write-in

>>42115541
>B. Walk out and try to get your book, normally.

>>42115541
>B. Walk out and try to get your book, normally.
no need to be a jerk about it, and besides if she gets the book we want we can looks for others

>>42115541
>>B. Walk out and try to get your book, normally.

>>42115541
>A. Cast an illusion on her to change the title of the book that you're looking for, to ensure that she doesn't grab it.
But change it to "Hey i know you" or something so its a conversation starter not a dick move

>>42115565
The book you're looking for is the only introductory book. Everything else is too advanced for you to understand.

I just realised.
Seemingly average, with a notably higher than average intelligence and a knack for tactics, developing an interest in poisons and medicine supported by weaponry, distractions and cheap tricks, and the tg hivemind could indicate split personality.
We're not a mini Shika. We're Kabuto.

>>42115541
>B. Walk out and try to get your book, normally.

Let's not do anything rash, it's not like there's only one book.

>>42115541
>B. Walk out and try to get your book, normally.
Like a sane person. We don't know what she's looking for anyway.

>>42115541
>>D. Write-in
"Hello Sarada. You want to form a study group?"

>>42115596
No Shit, Sherlock. The only difference is that we aren't a backstabbing little bitch. Now let's get some chakra scalpels already.

>>42115541
Say hello to her. If we're both looking for the same book ask if we can maybe study it together.

>>42115599
Well...>>42115590

>>42115541
>>B. Walk out and try to get your book, normally.
Like any normal absurdly intelligent child soldier.

>>42115625
Look, she's a prodigy, if she takes out that book, we can just ask her for it. She's probably smart enough to understand the more advanced stuff, or we could at least ask to share it.

>>42115599
>>42115601
>>42115638
You guys are just scared because she's a girl and you don't have Rock Lee there to defend you from the cooties

>>42115707
I'm SCARED because she's half Sasuke, half Sakura.

She could punch us into next week!

>>42115707
I don't think you understand what that vote is.
What lead you to believe this avoids contact with her?

>>42115735
So could Hanto, but you still tried to kunai him in the dick

>>42115766
All of life's problems can be solved by kicking a kunai into someone's genitals.

>>42115766
Yeah, but he ASKED us to hit him!

And he doesn't have the temperament of a child.

>>42115565
>>42115581
>>42115599
>>42115601

You step out of the rows of books and start to head over to Sarada. You step beside her, and start to look through the titles for the one that you're looking for. As you're examining, she picks a book and walks away. You keep going down the line, looking for your book, until you come across an empty space.

The empty space where your book should be. You quickly turn around, and hold out a hand. "H-hey! Wait a second! That book!"

She turns around and pushes her glasses up slightly, staring at you with an annoyed look. "What about it?"

You walk over to her. "I was looking for it."

She keeps that annoyed look up. "Right. And?"

You rub your neck. "Do you think that I could..-"

"No." She flatly states, turning around and starting to walk away.

On the first one it says so right there in the filename.

You take a step forward. "Hold on! Maybe we could just study it together!" Sarada slows her walk, seeming to consider her answer before spinning around. She's holding the book close to her chest. "I'm sorry, but I think you'd just slow me down, really. You can have this book when I'm done with it. My mother is too busy to give me notes on medical ninjutsu. I've already got a great head start in chakra control, and I'm at the top of the class. It won't take long for me to be finished with it, okay?"

She's not looking at you with that same annoyed look, but you can tell she's torn between her determination and her unfriendliness. She doesn't wish to directly insult you, but she honestly believes that she's superior to you and more deserving of the first serving of the knowledge contained within.

She's not suggesting that she's better than you to insult you, she's insisting that it's a fact and you should recoil and accept it.

Or maybe she just really wants that book? Would you have given her the book if she would have asked? Probably not. But you would have definitely let her study with you. What do you say?

>A. Don't be so cocky. I bet I'm just as smart as you, if not smarter. You don't deserve the book just because you think you're better than me.
>B. Hey, don't be so harsh! I'm a lot smarter than I seem. I'm positive that I could keep up with you in a study session if you gave me the chance.

You chuckle. "Hey, don't be so harsh! I'm a lot smarter than I seem. I'm positive that I could keep up with you in a study session if you gave me the chance."

She seems skeptical, adjusting her glasses again. "Your test scores were never all that impressive. I remember you from class. Basically average in every category. Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, Genjutsu, and academics. I think you should learn some more standard jutsu before you try and tackle something like this."

You cross your arms. "If you want to be Hokage, you should try being a little more sociable, Sarada."

You think for a few moments, trying to discern a way to prove your intelligence to her. Suddenly, you smile. "What if I told you that I once landed a hit on Mari Hyuga, a Genin who's a year older than us. I'm sure you've heard of her, if you're looking out for competition."

Sarada's eyes went serious for a brief moment, as she tried to see through what must be a deception of yours. She soon scoffed. "Tch, please. Mari is a shinobi as skilled as I am. There's no way that you'd be able to hit her. What Jutsu do you even know that could preform such a feat?"

You smile.

>A. It's a secret. A secret weapon.
>B. It doesn't matter. I'll wait for the book. But remember, Sarada. You're going to have to go through me if you want to be Hokage, because I'm going to be the strongest shinobi in the village.

>D. "Don't believe me? Let's go ask Rock Lee himself. I'm sure he's in the midst of his extreme training regiment right now."

>>42116468"What Jutsu? None. You're going about this all wrong. Jutsu are just tools. Useful, but not everything. It's how you use the tools that determines their effectiveness." You unfold your arms and hold them out in a gesture. "Believe me or don't, unless you're going to give me that book, or let me study with you, it doesn't matter much either way."

She makes an audible "Hmph." Seemingly outdone by your comment. She turns around and walks away for a few seconds, before turning around once more. "You should have spoken up more in class. I didn't know that someone who seemed as boring as you had so much to say."

You can't help but grin widely. "I could say a lot more if you'd let me have a look at that damn book, haha!"

She sighs in resignation. "I'm not going to be able to use it for the rest of the day anyway, I have way too many chores. Listen, if I give you my address, will you please drop this book off at my house before it gets too late?"

You nod. "Sure! Thanks a lot, I'm going to put it to really good use."

Handing you the book, she sighs once more, and takes out a sticky note from her bag. She writes an address on it and with a single finger, sticks the note onto your forehead with a poke, before holding it out menacingly towards you. "Don't be late! I will seriously knock you into next week if you don't give me this book tonight, got it?"

You nod. "Got it."

You decide to stay at the library, and Sarada leaves. You pour in to the medical text. It's thick, complex, and difficult to initially understand. You start by learning about the bones, joints, and arteries. You start to get a rough idea of where everything is located after a couple of hours. You have enough skill to hit a still target's joints and impede their movement, or even an artery for a fatal wound. Poison is also critically effective if you can hit an artery. Aiming in this way is impossible if the target is on the move, however.

There's a song in there, somewhere.

You look up at the clock, and realize that it's almost time to meet your team at the training field. You get up and set off, carrying the book under your arms as you do so. A short walk later and you see the rest of your team waiting patiently for you to arrive, near the Memorial Rock. You're slightly late.

Your sensei waves as you approach, and your squadmates seem as disinterested as ever. Ai is standing perfeclty straight, the picture of uniform discipline. Kichiro, surprisingly enough, looks totally awake. You imagine he's glad to not be waking up early in the morning. He calls you out. "What's the big idea, being late like this!? We've got business to take care of!"

Your sensei chuckles. "Relax, we've got the whole afternoon to practice this. Besides, after I show you the basics you can practice this on your own, as well."

>>42117187

Ai looks up at him. "What will we be doing, Sensei? Are you going to be teaching us a technique?"

You set your book down near the trees as you approach. Hanto nods. "That's right. From what I've seen, you guys pretty much have total mastery over the basic Academy jutsu. Kichiro, you have enough Chakra that you're able to use them effectively. Ai, you're naturally talented enough that they come like second nature to you. Takeshi, you're smart enough that you can use them in unpredictable ways. Considering that you're all three around a similar level, I think it's the perfect time for this technique."

He starts calmly walking towards a tree, before placing his foot on the trunk and walking vertically up it. He continues to speak as he does so. "You've probably seen Shinobi do this a lot, but never even thought about it except when you wanted to do it. It's an incredibly important fundamental technique, and it completely changes the way you look at a battlefield. You do it by concentrating chakra at the soles of your feet. This is excellent practice for trying to get ahold of your chakra control. Kichiro, this exercise is going to be critical for you. Ai, Takeshi, I think you'll pick up on it quickly. Everyone give it a shot.

>A.Try and use the most Chakra that you can to ensure that you don't fall off. Run at the tree.
>B.Control your chakra carefully, and try and maintain a perfect balance. Try and walk up the tree.

You and your squad all stand in a line, each facing towards your own respective tree. First, Kichiro goes. He pumps a large amount of Chakra into his feet and sprints at the tree. He seems to be getting a few steps in, going straight up. After a very short while, however, the wood starts to splinter under his feet. A couple of more steps and he's launched backwards, slipping after putting too much resistance on the soles. Hanto let's him know where he was wrong, appearing at the exact point where Kichiro took his last step and marking the tree with a kunai.

"Not bad, but you got too eager. Tone it down and keep it steady. If you can't control the flow, you'll burn yourself out too quickly." Kichiro grumbles, but forms a handsign. He seems dead set on completing the task before him.

Next to you, Ai makes her attempt. She forms a handsign and slowly starts feeding in Chakra to her feet, shutting her eyes and concentrating. After a little while she stops, and the grass around her feet can be seen gently swaying. She appears to have a steady stream of chakra. She runs towards the tree, picking up speed the closer she gets to it. When she hits it, she starts going vertically up at a much faster pace than Kichiro was. Her momentum helps her to keep going and going, while the steady stream keeps her balanced. As she starts to run out of momentum, however, her foot slips and she's sent crashing to the ground. Thankfully she uses the Transformation Jutsu to turn into a small bird, gliding down before turning back and landing again. She wordlessly looks up at the tree, clearly trying to discern where she went wrong. Once again, Hanto marks her spot, and he gives her his advice.

"Not bad at all! One of the best first attempts I've seen. It's easier when you're in motion and you have speed, but you'll have to be able to do it standing still too. Practice on controling the chakra in a slightly more fine and responsive way, rather than simply having a static amount come out. Time it with your steps."

Now, you go. You hold your handseal as you slowly walk towards the tree, and when your foot hits it, you can feel gravity vanish. You start to walk calmly up the trunk, still holding the seal. You struggle to maintain it, and it feels like intense working holding yourself still at this speed. Although it takes you longer than anyone else, and you've clearly exerted the most effort, you manage to get much higher than Ai, although when you come crashing back down, you apparently decided to tumble through some branches and hit a bush instead of being graceful. You hear Hanto call out. "Good job! If you keep practicing like that, you'll be able to do this in no time!"

You and your squad practice for hours, with Hanto standing nearby and offering snarky advice, and chuckling a bit at your misfortunes. Eventually, you all start to reach about the same level of effectiveness, although it's clear that it took Ai and Kichiro a little while to catch up for this specific exercise. Once it's over, Hanto calls you all down.

"Alright, guys. Originally I was just going to eat these all myself, but since you've been working so hard, I think you've earned them."

He opens up a box of donuts!

You walk over, and inspect the donuts. They seem to be ordinary. You pick one up, and inspect it with your eye. "Hmmm. Is this another test? They're not poisoned, are they?"

Hanto chuckles, and takes a jelly filled donut out of the box, and bites into it. There's a bit of the strawberry jelly on the corner of his mouth. "Of course not. Why would I eat a whole box of poison donuts all by myself if you guys suck? What would my plan for the devious donuts have been if you all actually couldn't preform the tree walking technique?"

You decide to wait for a few moments, and after seeing that your sensei is unharmed, decide to take a donut from the box. You grab a glazed one with chocolate sprinkles, Ai grabs a chocolate cream filled one, and Kichiro takes a powdered cinnamon sugar donut. You all munch happily for a few moments, having worked up quite an appetite. Your sensei shuts the box, and tucks it under his arms. "Well, good job today, team. I have another mission set up for you guys the day after tomorrow, so meet me at the village gates, at the same time as our usual morning meetings. Have a good night, everyone, and stay out of trouble!

He vanishes, leaving you, Kichiro, and Ai alone in the training fields with donut remains all over your faces. You look at each other awkwardly for a few seconds.

You look over at Kichiro. "How's your nose doing?" He gives you a dejected look, like he really doesn't want to talk about it. After you return this look with a blank smile, he eventually gives in. "It's fine. I still don't know what he even did to me, though."

Oddly enough, Ai speaks up. "I believe it was a different version of his father's technique."

Kichiro crosses his arms. "Oh, yeah, isn't his dad supposed to be some sort of big shot Jounin?"

Ai nods. "Correct. his name is Sarasu Hikawa. He is a Fire type specialist, and an incredibly potent Taijutsu master. He combines these skills to create a devastating fighting style known as Dragon Boxing. I've read about it in old news stories."

You blink. "Huh, so Hanto really is that guy's son. I guess that's why he's so looked down upon. Anyone would be when you get compared to a hero like that."

>>42118385


Kichiro nods in agreement. "True, but he doesn't seem to mind at all. If anyone, the guy seems like he doesn't have a care in the world."

Ai looks up at the both of you. "Perhaps this explains his delinquent behavior from the other day."

You chuckle. "Maybe. By the way, good job out there today, Ai. We were neck and neck the whole time!"

"..."

Kichiro pipes up next to you while Ai remains silent. "Hey! I was right behind you guys the whole way, don't forget to acknowledge me too, buster!" You chuckle and rub the back of your head, smiling. "Sorry!"

Looking up at the setting sun, you can see that it's getting kind of late. "Shoot, I've gotta go guys. I've got to give a friend her book back. See you!"

You wave at your squadmates as you run off, and see that they separate and go on their own ways as well. You pull the address you'd recieved out of your pocket, and find the appropriate house in town. You knock on the large red door, holding the book under your arms. A woman with pink hair and a diamond on her forehead appears, frowning when she sees you. "Oh jeez, not another one. I told you little creeps to leave my daughter alone! She's not interested!"

The woman slams the door. What do you do?

>A. Sneak up to Sarada's room to give her the book.

Do you even ninja?

>C. Knock again.

>>42118408
>C
>D
"Ma'am, I'm only here to return a book I borrowed, I was to make sure I brought before the day was done under threat of a beating. So if you'd just take the book off my hands I'll leave.

Just yell through the door if you have to

>>42118408
Write a note on the book then knock and run away

the note should say "your daughter wanted me to bring her this book, Cunt."

Would anyone actually visit? Her daughter isn't attractive.

>>42116862
>She writes an address on it and with a single finger, sticks the note onto your forehead with a poke
>sticks the note onto your forehead with a poke,
>forehead with a poke
Oh god she wants us to hit her with our Wisdom of Descartes Jutsu.

>>42118408
>C. Knock again.
>D. Write-in
"Umm, I think there's a misunderstanding Ma'am. I only came by to drop a book off for Sarada. She said she wanted it before it got to late."
Through the door if we have to.

>>42118555
The boys are all over her at school, apparently

>>42118631
Even Kichiro?

>C. Knock again.

>>42118555
I'm sure some of those, if not most, want that Uchiha DNA. Not caring for the feelings of girl at all.

>>42118651
He doesn't give a flying fuck who she or anyone is

>>42118651
Especially probably Kichiro

>>42118408
>D
>"Maam, I'm actually here for you!"

>>42118669
That's mah Kichi.

No fucks given

>>42118737
Kek.

>>42118737
Fuck it, let's do it.

You scratch your cheek, a little surprised to have the door slammed in your face. You swear that can you hear Sarada and the woman, who is probably her mother, speaking behind the walls. You knock on the door again, recieving no answer after a few moments of waiting. You persist still, and start to beat on the door until someone answers.

Soon enough, Sarada's mother opens the door again. She looks absolutely livid. "I told you to scram, so scram! Why don't you just-"

You hold up the medical textbook, and yell over Sakura's voice. "Ma'am! You're misunderstanding me! I just wanted to give Sarada her book back!"

Her mother places both hands on her hips, and cocks an eyebrow at you. "Is that so? Well..I'll let Sarada be the judge of that. I swear if this is some sort of trick, I'm going to give your parents a call and let them know what sort of nonsense you've been into besides training."

You chuckle. "I think my bro would just laugh at me if he thought I was chasing girls."

The mother turns around, and yells over her shoulder. "Sarada! Some boy says that he has a book to return to you! Get down here!"

>>42118911
Lets not...

>>42119038

Moments later, Sarada is quickly stepping down the stairs that you can see behind her mother. She approaches, and steps just beside her mother. "You can go, mom."

The woman crosses her arms, and looks at Sarada suspiciously. "You mean this isn't a ploy of his or something..? Hmmm, alright. But no funny business."

Sarada's cheeks turn slightly pinkish, and she clenches her fists. "Get out of here mom!"

You suspect that her mother is just teasing her, and understands that you're really here to just drop off a book. Or maybe she's just this paranoid about her little girl. Either way, the woman turns and walks away, and Sarada turns back to you, adjusting her glasses. "Sorry about that. Boys come over here all the time trying to get me to hang out with them, she's pretty fed up with it. I see you have the book. Give it here."

You hand her the text.

Behind her, Sarada's mother yells out. "Dear! Dinner is ready! Are you inviting your friend in, or are you just going to let all the cool air out of the house?"

Sarada groans, and you chuckle.

>A. Well? Invite me in.
>B. The text wasn't too hard to understand. Now that I'm caught up a bit on it, we should study. I don't want to wait for you to be done now that I've started.
>C. I got a taste of it, but as soon as you're done with it, that book is mine!
>D. Write-in

>>42119062
>>B. The text wasn't too hard to understand. Now that I'm caught up a bit on it, we should study. I don't want to wait for you to be done now that I've started.

>>42119062

>Also ask which boys have come over. So we can use it against them later.

"The text wasn't too hard to understand. Now that I'm caught up on it a bit, we should study. I don't want to wait for you to be done now that I've started!"

Sarada makes a small "hmph." and adjusts her glasses again. "That's too bad. That wasn't the deal. You can have it once I'm done with it. Besides, I'm usually very busy with my team or training. I don't have time to waste playing teacher for you."

You grumble. "You've got the wrong idea. I don't want you to teach me how to do this stuff, I want to work with you. Jeez, it's called cooperation, ya know?"

She starts to shut the door. "Yeah, right. I bet this is just an excuse to try and date me or something. It's not like I haven't heard the 'study session' line before, /genius/!

She slams the door in your face, much akin to the way that her mother had done. Apparently she's minsinterpreted your interest in the material she has as a personal excuse to try and date her or something.

You turn around and start to walk away, grumbling. "Ridiculous. I had no idea she was actually like that. Now if I do anything but wait for the book..she'll sick her mom on my for trying to flirt with her!"

You facepalm, and start on your way home, feeling defeated. Why couldn't you have just grabbed the book first? Sometimes life isn't fair.

-----

That's all for tonight folks. Hope everyone had a good time, as usual I'll be sticking around to answer questions for a bit.

>>42119062
>A. Well? Invite me in.

>>42119240
Yesh, such a bad attitude. Though knowing who her mom is, no surprise.

>>42119240
Man, shes got a real stick up her butt. Thanks for running boss.

>>42119240
How is a typical day for Bro go?

I'm always fascinated by the lives of guardsmen for some reason...

>>42119240
Are we going to have to play rock paper scissors the next time we run into her for the book?

>>42119311
She /wants/ it to be a date excuse, anon

>>42119240
good thread mini, I'm starting to like this quest a lot.

>>42119240
If you could pick a summons for Takeshi what animal would it be

>>42119362
Mongoose.

Cuz y'know, fuck all the snake people.

Maybe an owl would fit with our support/sensory angle though.

>>42119362
I suggested ravens in another thread

>>42119362
>>42119362

Giant sized Mantis Shrimp and Pistol Shrimp summons!

>>42119323
Well, it depends on what shift he's working. Whatever shift it is, he wakes up, does some exercises to stay in shape, eats breakfast and showers off, and heads out. The entirety of his job is creating a barrier for hours at a time from his chakra, requiring intense focus. He takes a meditative position and does this several times a day, and during the times when he's off-shift but at work, he's either manning the village gate, training with his fellow employees, or doing paperwork for deliveries to and from the village, to deliver to his boss. That is if he worked the gate that day.

On his days off he might go drinking with his friends, or he and takeshi might go get something to eat or just hang out and watch television and bullshit.

>>42119325
You can challenge her, although I don't know how well it will work

>>42119362
Some sort of bird. Hawk, Raven, Owl, ect.

Owls are sounding like a good idea anons

>>42119360
thanks anon, glad people are enjoying it

>>42119426
Owl is a good option.

>>42119474
Is a Phoenix a viable summon?

I'm backing Owls for our summons.

>>42119474
I do have a few writing critiques though, your writing is very good. However you use the same words when describing character actions, like smirks chuckles etc.

Anyway great thread waiting patiently for the next one.

>>42119493
nah

>>42119518
yeah I'm aware of this, doing dialogue isn't something I have any sort of technical understanding of so I'm sort of mitigating my need to experiment by using some stock words. I do better when writing slowly in this aspect.


I'll try and keep it mixed up

>>42119550
Dialogue is always tricky, some advice I give students is to imagine talking to your friends. Then you apply that to your characters. For dialogue to feel natural it has to be between people and not cut-outs.

tl;dr imagine the character is a person
(your writing is very clean though)

Ain't nobody on the planet who can get the drop on an owl.

So who are we liking for waifu?

>>42119605
I'm on team Mari, Sarada is a grade A bitch. Ai is too real-life autistic for me

>>42119474
I greatly enjoy yours and Laze's.
Its like watching same thing from different timeline/perspective

What do you thing about coated needle floor trap?
We quietly throw them to the ground and bait opponents to step/fall on it.

>>42119624
Poison-coated
too tired to even sentence...jeez

>>42119605
Of the girls we've met? Mari, Sarada rubs me the wrong way and AI borderline Autism just doesn't do it for me? Mari is a bitch, but less of one than Sarada so far.


>>42119624
>>42119655
Too easy to be countered or sued against us IMO.

>>42119600
I sort of do that, but I'm also trying to relate the characters to the world as well. Use phrases they use and mannerisms seen in the series. I tend to focus on that and the content of what they say as opposed to the presentation, and I need to balance that out a little bit.

Thanks for the advice though. I greatly appreciate any and all commentary/criticism.


>>42119624
I've been reading laze's quest too, I like it

That sounds viable though. You could lay a bunch of needles point up in some soft dirt somewhere and try and bait someone into it.

>>42119619
>Ai is too real-life autistic for me

yes, I am succeeding in this aspect.

>>42119677
>Mari is a bitch, but less of one than Sarada so far

I love women who are bitches

temari best naruto girl

>>42119677
"My medical knowledge and Sharigan allows me to pin point the poison in my bloodstream and remove it from within."

>>42119677
genius are tsuns..... why do i feel like i want to tease/manipulate them into submission?

>>42119702
Shame the child is a boy eh?
can only friendship that

btw mini, can you put everyone's opinion about us?

>>42119707
god damn sue

>>42119702
No problem Mini, I'm a fucking English teacher. If you want a real analysis for your writing it'll have to be when I'm not dead tired (or shitfaced).

Temari was sexy bitchy though not annoying bitchy like sakura and sarada

>>42119707
And while she's concentrating on doing that we throw a bomb at her. That's like Accelerator using vectors to do brain surgery, in that both their guards would be dropped to nothing and any schmuck could hit them.

>>42119702
Honestly any girl who has a lineage I expect to either be a bitch, Hinata level shy, or prissy as fuck.

>>42119793
Because teasing Tsuns is a respected questing past time? Also if we can't beat them straight up in combat, we have to beat them at teasing, wordplay and tactics.

>>42119843
We seem to be pretty good at it atm

>>42119902
We seem so oblivious that we do it by accident, which makes sense for a kid our age.

>>42119920
True enough, I wanna see how powerful we get before the Chunin exams it should be a fun arc.

>>42119945
It should. We seem to be building a Kabuto Shikamaru mix, which will be fun to play. Also strange thought, If we can make a chakra scalpel with our hand, could we cut a rasengan?

>>42119793
Sure.

Hanto: "Obviously the smart one of the group. He'll do the talking and planning, bring the others together."

Ai: Utter confusion, much in the same way she reacts to any social situation

Kichiro: Mostly indifferent, but he was impressed by your quick thinking on the mission.

Rock Lee: "I see great potential in this Genin, if he can apply himself in the proper way. It is a shame that his sensei is one who lacks such direction."

Mari: "Cowardly dork got lucky, I won't fall for any of his tricks next time. I won't play around, I'll just go straight for the finish!"

Takkun: Good ol' dependable Takeshi. It's too bad I didn't get put on a team with him, I'm sure things wouldn't be so chaotic.

Sakura: "Just another punk who's thinking with the wrong head"

Saruda: "This guy might be even more annoying than Boruto."

Rokuro: "He's well rounded, at least. Nothing exceptional, though. I'm sure that I could defeat him if I needed to."

I don't think I missed anyone.

>>42119992
Nah, too much rotary force

>>42119992
Uh, maybe? Depends on how sue the person doing the Rasengan is. I'm still not sold on scalpels, i'd prefer an actual short-sword or something

>>42119843
I..You...
I want to pat you in the back for this revelation

>>42120011
Thank you, Good Min

>>42120011
I love all this meta knowledge you spoil us with. We really need our team to get spec'd, Kichiro would be a great Taijutsu specialist and Ai screams Ninjutsu prodigy

>>42120015
Well a chakra scalpel is basically a hand infused with chakra that can fuck up a body without breaking the skin. Good for surgery or cutting someone apart without a trace.

>>42120011
Damn, if we could expand the swing of the aura, would that work?


>>42120034
No problem anon.

>>42120011
Orochi's kid methink but we didnt socialized with him much soo.....eh

>>42120057
Although the combat and everything else is pretty much 100% freeform, I have a very clear cut idea of how things should progress, so I'm happy to answer any question to give you guys the best context for each scenario.

Plus it's fun relating things you would never find out about normally in quest, like the character's thoughts.

I actually already have an idea of how the characters are all going to develop ability wise. Every genin you've met has their own gimmick that they use. I'm keeping those secret though, so that they're extra cool when they happen

>>42120090
Chakra Scalpel is too low level of a technique to really compete with Rasengan. It's something you could learn as a high-tier genin or low-tier chunin.

>>42120090
OOOOHH you mean kabuto's deal, I thought you meant the actual scalpels the idiot threw

>>42120096
Oh yeah, he was just happy to talk to someone for a few seconds. He's super friendly so you're good in his book as far as he's concerned
