Yay, finally caught one of these threads live, time to save the best girl

>>42853354
So really, the only way we can win is to go back to basics: speed of action, violence of action, psychological pressure.

Always be moving, always be attacking, and use the number of bodies and variety of attacks on our side to always keep Kakuzu guessing about what sort of attack is coming next and from where. Mix in flash bombs and Impact to create openings, attack from unexpected directions, and use explosive tags to maintain constant offensive pressure. The "big attacks" can come from combination techniques like what we did with Sasuke in the Snow mission (Wave 2.0).

You and Temari have just arrived to the scene of a battle. It looks like Sasuke and Kiba are both pretty worn down already, but they don't seem to have any major injuries. Kankuro is unharmed, but his two puppets look like they've taken quite a beating already.

Their enemy, the masked man with stitched arms, looks almost unharmed himself.

"Kon, Temari, be careful!" Kankuro calls out. "This guy can harden his skin to nullify attacks, and can separate his limbs to act independently from his body. He also seems to have a range of Earth jutsu."

The masked man looks over to you. "More of them? Maybe it's about time I evened the numbers out, then."

The man removes his cloak, revealing that the stitching goes all over his body. He has four masks on his back. He leans forward and starts to exert a great effort. His skin begins to ripple, and from his back emerge four large black figures, wearing the masks from his back.

"There we are." the man says once the figures finish forming. "Now the rest of you will be easily dealt with as I rip that heart from you, Uchiha! Unfortunately for your friends, I'm far too old not to know that you don't fight an Uchiha halfheartedly!"

The man closes in on Sasuke as two of the four black figures approach Kiba and Kankuro and the other two head for you and Temari.

>A.Confront these two with Temari

>B.Temari can handle this, Sasuke needs help

>C.Kiba and Kankuro are in bad shape, they need help

You immediately bite your thumb and perform the hand signs. "Summoning Jutsu!"

Sarujizo appears in a puff of smoke.

"Sarujizo!" you direct. "Use your Fire release alongside Temari's Wind release! I'll help the others!"

You run for Sasuke first, and are able to grab him as he's knocked back from one of the masked man' punches. Next you come up to Kiba and Kankuro. Before you can move them, you hear the masked man perform a jutsu.

"Fire Release: Searing Migraine!"

One of the masked creatures in front of you opens its mouth, and releases a huge blast of fire in your direction.

>>
>>42853936
Every last one of Kakuzu's ninjutsu are Gundam references.
I want to copy Gian from him so badly you would not believe.
>>
>>42853936
"Searing Migraine" was called "Zukokku". This is a corruption of Z'Gok, which is pronounced "Zugokku". This isn't the only technique he has that does this.

Kakuzu is a damned Zeek apologist. Titans did nothing wrong.
>>
We should learn how to summon lots of weapons/tags and make our own version of Unlimited Blade Works or Gates of Babylon. Infinite impact/explosive kunais and shurikens being summoned at high speed against one opponent.
>>
>>42853936
The Japanese names for all of Kakuzu's attacks are made of the same characters as the names of various mobile suits. The "Earth Grudge Fear" technique that gives him the detachable limbs is "Jiong", same pronunciation as the Zeong (which has detachable limbs). His armor technique is "Domu", like the heavily-armored Dom. His stabbing lightning beam is Gian, a reference to the beam rapier-wielding Gyan. And his fire and wind attacks are Zukokku and Atsugai, references to the Z'Gok and Acguy which don't actually have anything to do with fire or wind but he was going to be damned if he wasn't going to stick to a theme.

You jump away from the blast as fast as you can. You, Sasuke, Kiba and Akamaru get away with only a bit of injury, but Kankuro is forced to shield himself with one of his puppets as he dodges. He's okay, but the puppet is charred beyond usage.

You prepare a jutsu to try and strike one of the creature's masks. The one that just shot the fire is wide open, so you take the opportunity while you can.

"Impact Release: Heavenly Lance!"

You fire the beam, and it hits the mask straight on. The figure collapses into a black puddle.

Meanwhile however, Kankuro, Kiba, and Akamaru have been barely dodging wind attacks from the other masked figure.

It seems this opponent has ways to use all five elements, with his separate masks.

Sasuke has been grabbed from below by the masked man's tendril arm sticking from the ground. He's been pulled back into melee range, and is struggling to keep from taking a hit straight on.

Over where you started, the ground is wet. One of the masked creatures seems to have made several water attacks, and the other is firing lightning. Temari is using her fan to fly, avoiding standing on the water and getting shocked. Sarujizo must have been unlucky enough to have taken such an attack, as he seems to have been unsummoned. Temari can't seem to get a chance to attack, but she's still unharmed, so she seems to be dodging alright.

You decide that Sasuke needs help the most, and close in on his fight.

As you approach, the masked man turns to you. He currently holds Sasuke up by the neck.

"So you went and destroyed one of my hearts, eh?" the man asks. "I guess I'll have to replace it with one of your friend's. I was planning on taking the one from this Uchiha, and I think he'd be a perfect fit."

Before you can respond, the man throws Sasuke at you, and you both are knocked back. By the time you get back up, the man is charging at you two.

Okay, been looking around, and "Hazel" actually works pretty well. "Hei" can be calm, unite, nature, height (specifically in reference to thrones), barrier, humble, or ruination. "Ze" just means justice. And "Ru" means lapis lazuli, stream, butterbur plant, or delay. So how about an attack called "Impact Release: Humble Justice Stream"?

Nah, a lot of UC fanboys will grudgingly acknowledge that season 1 of 00 was at least tolerable.
But if you wanna make a Gunota, and a UC fanboy in particular, buttmad as all hell? You hit him with SEED.
>>
>>42854536
He can harden himself to the point of receiving no damage, presumably from attacks right up to and including most of Sasuke's repertoire. At this point stunning him and dropping that defense is the best teamwork we can offer.
>>
>>42854544
Come to think of it, Sasuke doesn't really have any good ranged jutsu until he gets Amaterasu. All his other attacks require him to get within mid-range at the fatrhest.

"Sasuke, I'll give you an opening!" you call.

As Sasuke jumps back and starts preparing a chidori, you go up to meet the masked man.

"Impact Release: Shattershot!" you fire your jutsu.

The man is knocked back, but rights himself with the tendrils in his body. It seems that with those, he doesn't have to worry about being stunned by your attacks. That limits your options a bit.

He comes at you again,.

>A.Blast him again

>B.Pull weapon

>C.Hit him with an Impact infused punch/kick/whatever

>D.Just try to dodge his hits

>E.Other

So if we do end up ending Kakuzu here, how do we commemorate the event? Cutting a notch into the edge of our headband, perhaps two if we also see his partner off? Make it a running tally?

>>42854476
>B.Have Sasuke try and give you an opening
>>
>>42854770

You pull out your sword and focus your Impact chakra into it. As the masked man approaches you try to hit him. He keeps dodging most of your swings, but you eventually hit his arm. He turns it black, hardening it, but that causes him to recoil at the blow.

"What is this?" the man wonders. "You keep using this strange release. A kekkei genkai? Maybe I should take your heart for myself."

The man detaches his arms and has them assault you from both sides.

>>42855070
ok the arms require a heart to operate if they are detatched, likely this is setting us up for him to jump us. How close is he to us OP? If his arms are gone blast him with shatter shot for sasuke to take his head since he has no support to resist the stun now.
>>
>>42855070
>>A.Dodge them
Those threads are pretty maneuverable. I don't think we'll have much success on the restriction front.

>>42855130
Or we just drop our entire tag arsenal. Won't kill him but it'd hurt. A lot.

Guys dodn't miss the flags, OP already stated with this arms he can resist our stuns, he just separated them stun and decapitate. thwn blast all his parts to bits but keep the heat...and mabye a heart separately...
>>
>>42855070

>C.Try to restrict their movement

We gotta keep him occupied so Sasuke can Chidori him in the butthole.
>>
>>42855153
The tendrils are a part of his body. They run throughout it like muscle fibers.

Can't help but feel that this and Ukon backpedaling it were specifically to neuter the technique rather than due to any actual properties of the technique itself. Can't prove it of course, but that's because we don't actually know how it works in the first place.
>>
>>42855206
genuine question his hair looks pretty greasy, given he is made if it with hard skin can we light him on fire?
>>
You know, if Laze really wanted to mess with us we could win this fight and go after Kakuzu's partner only to find it's someone really tough to defeat. Hidan wasn't Kakuzu's original partner, given that we're somewhere between two and a half and three years before their first appearance it's possible that he's assigned to someone different right now.
>>
>>42855179
Our "entire arsenal" is a shitload, anon. Just a few tags on a log will create the opening Sasuke needs.

Assuming he hasn't been ganked by one of the masked hairballs.
>>
how are the others doing? any more hearts down in the meantime?

Also prep a substitute covered in tags so when he grabs us we blow it and put a Lance though his heart
>>
https://youtu.be/f3T4jfKlw6s?t=117 1:57-2:21
>>
>>42855245
Nah, it was pretty clear in canon that he and Hidan had been putting up with each other's shit WAY longer than three years.
>>
>>42855070
"I see Orochimaru is keeping things to himself again. Why do you lot trust that snake?"
>>
>>42855272
If we prepped a Lance I'd prefer to attack one of the masks again, since Sasuke's almost certainly aiming for the "main" heart. That would mean Kakuzu would be down his Earth, Fire, and one other, and we could re-concentrate our remaining teammates again.
>>
>>42855288
Was it? All I remember were the comments about how Kakuzu hated having to put up with Hidan and not just kill him like he did all his previous partners. Guess I'm forgetting something, then.
>>
>>42855295
To be fair, Sasori probably also knows about our release after waiting for us to finish off Gaara.
>>
>>42855319
I'm not remotely trying to be fair. I'm trying to mess with his head.
>>
>>42855312
Cos I was thinking if we drop the main body we can just blast it, the hearts gotta go to it or they'd die. we would be effectively camping the capture point. with an Impact powered Shotgun
>>
>>42855238
Kon has no fire techniques, and the technique that makes up the tendrils is earth-based. So probably not.

I'd also assume setting it on fire was among the first things Sasuke tried.
>>
>>42855070
>B.Attack the arms
When he attacks us, let's Feedback the impact to his arms.
>>
>>42855381
Lets not let him touch us.
>>
>>42855363
That could actually be kind of funny.
>That hurt, Uchiha. Luckily I can...
>SNIPED
>Spawn-camping son of a who...
>DOUBLE KILL
>Why you little...

>>
>>42855070
>D. First you want an Uchiha's heart, now you want mine? That's pretty halfhearted of you!
>>
>>42855108
>>42855130
>>42855137
>>42855192

You prepare a substitution to keep his arms occupied.

Once they grab you, you're replaced in a puff of smoke by a log covered in explosive tags. The explosion goes off, forcing the man's arms to harden to resist the attack.

While he's occupied, Sasuke has finished preparing. He run's at the man with his chidori and manages to catch him straight though his chest.

You look around. Temari looks like she's getting tired, but she's still managing to keep the water and lightning masks busy.

Kiba and Akamaru are carrying Kankuro around, as he's taken too many hits from the wind mask.

Sasuke drops the masked man and comes over to you.

"Are these things still running around on their own?" he pants. "What should we do?"

Before you can answer, the wind mask dives into the masked man's body. He convulses several times before he gets up, tendrils sticking out of his mouth and neck.

"Two of my hearts?" he says. "That hasn't happened in a long time. I guess I will have to take both of yours."

You see the water and lightning mask creatures merge into one giant black mass. They start firing off combined attacks at Temari.

Kiba and Akamaru have set Kankuro aside, and have joined you and Sasuke.

"You've got a plan for this, right?" he asks.

Point being if we kill Kakuzu again he has to pull another heart out of the one fighting Temari, taking pressure off her. And this time we'll be ready when he does.

Soon, we need to leave with some fast people to catch up. Should Kiba lead the pursuit?

>>42855553
Doesn't seem like we're feeling tired yet. Normally if that were a problem I'd expect an obvious warning.

>>42855553
I just wanna imagine that beam swirling with the inferno we make around it, Combo Move: Ame-no-nuboko

>>42855439
Curious question but...

Could we use our snowboard as a shield? Charge it up and deflect attacks and hit him with the sword?
>>
>>42855581
>Should Kiba lead the pursuit
He's our tracker, since Shino's MIA at the moment.
>>
>>42855598
Pretty sure that name is already taken, actually.

>>42855615
Why would we have our snowboard in a desert?
>>
>>42855615
We already gave it away. Although, I imagine it could move pretty quickly with Impact release.
>>
>>42855439
>>B.Someone go help Temari
Kiba.
Us and Sasuke can keep fighting best Akatsuki.
>>
>>42855647
That's not Itachi
>>
the longer we stay here fighting the further away his partner and Fuu are going to get,
>>
So we're definitely getting promoted after this, possibly to Tokubetsu Jonin. Neji got a similar promotion, and he wasn't even fighting Akatsuki.
>>
>>42855673
Reverse summoning? Would that work?
>>
>>42855673
Last thread it was pretty much stated outright that we'd have to rely on Shino heavily if we wanted to get Fuu back. We couldn't really have come into this expecting a chance to disengage from Kakuzu without catastrophic losses.
>>
>>42855695
She would have had to have been marked beforehand by someone who knew the technique. Meaning Tenten. Tenten is and has been busy, and I doubt Kakuzu would have given her a chance.

Really, I'm just confused about where everyone else is. They better be chasing the next guy.
>>
>>42855671
Don't be silly. Itachi isn't in Akatsuki.
He was a dozy shit in canon. Gato was a more compelling villain than him. Fucking Gato.

"Kiba, go help Temari!" you call. "Sasuke, let's do a combination jutsu!"

Kiba and Akamaru head off, while you and Sasuke perform your jutsu. The masked man rushes the two of you while you do so.

"Fire Release: Fireball!"
"Wind Release: Vacuum Wave!"

You and Sasuke's combined jutsu hits home, but before it does, some of the man's tendrils grab Sasuke by his leg. He drags Sasuke into the path of the jutsu with him.

You stop your jutsu, and prepare another one. The man is tossing Sasuke around with his tendrils, but you have an opening to hit his heart.

"Impact Release: Heavenly Lance!"

The beam strikes the man right through his heart. He collapses again. Before you can prepare to react to another mask, a burst of lightning heads for Sasuke, who is now unconscious. You are forced to get him out of its path. In that time, the water mask has returned to the masked man's body and he has gotten up again.

"Three? You're trying my patience with that beam attack." the mans states. "I won't be taking my eyes off you anymore. You won't get another chance."

You look over to see that Temari is down. She seems to have been hit by one of the combined attacks. Kiba and Akamaru have moved her away, but they aren't looking too hot themselves.

You're feeling the strain on your chakra as well, but you can fight on.

The man closes in on you.

Use an impact boosted explosive replacement ready, upon combat blow it and stab him though the back with Lightning, leave an explosive tag in the chest cavity.
>>
>>42855893
Bonus points if we can use the explosives to maneuver him into the water used by his own mask.

If he can protect himself from explosives, how would a log be any better? In fact I'm hoping the explosives will just keep him busy long enough for help to arrive, or else for him to make a mistake like walking over his own water or something.

Fuu is pretty much the last thing on my mind at this point, by the way.

I wonder if Impact Clones can be a thing.

Combine them with tags and we have our kamikaze technique.

You unload all the explosives you can onto the masked man. He resists your barrage with a combination of well timed Water jutsus, and hardens any skin that you do manage to hit. After a while, it becomes clear that the explosives will not work, but in this time, he's surrounded himself with water.

You take advantage of this fact. "Lightning Release: Thunderbolt!"

The move is amplified by the surrounding water, and shocks the man with even greater power than otherwise.

The man collapses again, and you get ready to take out the last heart, when you notice that his tendrils have been extended. As soon as the last mask flies to his body, they tighten. They've coiled around the necks of Sasuke and Kiba, who by this point had also fallen.

"You lot may have taken four of my hearts, but I'm a shrewd businessman." the man addresses you. "I can always go get more somewhere else. So, I'm willing to make you a deal. I can let you all go, and we'll go our separate ways, or you can try to kill me before I kill these two friends of yours. That's if you can at all, of course. There's no guarantee. But if we stop right now, you will get to keep all your friends alive."

His tendrils tighten their grip around your friend's necks. "So what's it gonna be?"

You could try and take him out right now, but you're low on chakra. You might only get one shot. There's also no telling if he could kill the others before you can kill him.

Ok all he has is one heart left, both his hands are around the necks of the others so in theory hand signs are out, however he does have a human shield... can w put need back into use on them? If so we charge him, burst feed back into them so they are repelled from his body by his own strength and we bunch through his last heart, with an explosives taged and chakra charged kunai, he blows up and we use what chakra is left to create our shield to save ourselves damage.

Or we stab his final heart with a Impact Knife on a Rope.

Pull him in and cut his head off for good measure.
>>
>>42856419
If we end up attacking, which it seems like we're going to at this rate, can we PLEASE at least do this? It has a slight chance of actually working.

Finishing with a lightning-empowered sword would cut through any defensive measures he could raise, so there's a decent chance it could be quick enough to get the job done.
>>
>>42856491
Ok id love us to pull this off but I doubt we can though that would be an awesome thing.
>>
>>42856298
>>B.Attack him
Shino's alone out there. If we let Kakuzu go, i can guess who the first heart will belong to.
>>
Just had a thought. Sasuke's got lightning nature. Does that give him lightning resistance? Could we zap him to make Rocky here let go? Or is that too risky?
>>
>>42856522

Guys, what if we put all our Impact chakra into one fist, then punched the ground to launch ourselves toward him, and punched through Kakuzu?
>>
>>42856560
Doesn't really matter. Lightning is best at piercing, and his defense is an Earth technique. He'd be unable to set up a proper defense against it.

At this point attacking means we'd possibly defeat an enemy that could be incredibly dangerous to the village later, and to our surviving teammates in the short term, all because we trusted the word of an Akatsuki. It just kind of doesn't make sense IC to do anything but an all-in assault in hopes that 4 speed and an Impact "Wavedash" are also fast enough to save our friends in the process.

You build up chakra for your attack.

"Well?" the man asks. "I'm waiting."

You fire your jutsu as fast as you can.

"Impact Release: Heavenly Lance!"

Your beam flies towards the man, but before it hits, he moves Kiba into its path. The beam pierces through Kiba and hits the masked man, but doesn't kill him.

"You were really gonna do it, huh kid?" the man laughs as he tosses Kiba aside. "You've got guts. I like it."

The man throws Sasuke at you and forces you to catch him before talking again. "I'm needed urgently elsewhere. If you want to follow me, go ahead. You'll be marching to your death. If I were you, I'd worry more about your buddies here."

The man takes off running. You could follow, but you're already pretty tired. It might take a while to catch him.

>A.Pursue

>B.Check on the others

>C.Other
>>
>>42856633
Less efficient than building it up in our already fast-as-fuck feet and dashing. Also commits a hand AND both feet to charging when both hands should be behind a lightning-enhanced sword thrust to the heart.

>>
>>42856643
Ok I agree pour some chakra into our feet in the for of feed back, if physics holds about opersite and equal force we will launch at double speed from the power of our own impact, it will be a one shot dash but the speed would be utter insanity.
>>
>>42856677
>>B.Check on the others
We're going to get shit for our choice, but oh well
>>
>>42856409

Actually, taking him at his word would be abandoning them because there's no way he's telling the truth. We drop our stance, he eats them before we can react and they die. We attack him, we at least have a chance of saving them.
>>
>>42856739
Yeah, no. That apparently wasn't allowed anyway.
>>
>>42856677
>>A.Pursue
Fuck.
Go after him now or all this was for nothing. We have no medical training. We can do more good on the 'kill this guy now before he does any more damage' front.
>>
>>42856677
>C. Summon a monkey to go harass him
>>
>>42856677
Check Kiba ain't to badly injured, slap sasuke awake and chase that fucker, Shino is still out there! if we can't get a response we have no choice but to stay. We need help or this aint gonna happen
>>
>>42856677

Crap, we know Kiba's in trouble, but if we don't follow him this guy could go after Shino...

Hmmm...

>C. Wake up Sasuke, get his help with Kiba, then go pursue the man.
>>
>>42856677
>C.Other
Shoot him in the back before we lose sight of him. Otherwise we shot Kiba for nothing.

Should be easier at longer range, since his apparent velocity is lower.
>>
>>42856780
I agree with this.
Maybe summon a monkey to get help for our teammates or something
>>
Can scrolls preserve a body?
>>
>>42856744
And what choice would that be? I don't recall us making any choice to shoot. What about you, Sasuke? Kiba? Tenten? Oh, that's right, you're all unconscious. Well, then, guess no one will object to our story that Kiba's injury was inflicted by Kakuzu.
>>
Hm.

In retrospect maybe challenging him a one on one, winner takes all hearts duel would have helped...
>>
>>42856814

Actually, I like this better. Heavenly Lance is our sniper move. Changing from this >>42856811
but we should still do that if we miss, even if this next shot does take up what little chakra we have left... assuming that previous one didn't already.
>>
>>42856826
don't worry about that, just say he used a stretchy arm and held Kiba in the way.
>>
>>42856814
>>42856815
We're out of chakra anons. Tank is empty.
>>
>>42856849
Maybe having gone with the attack option that didn't require hand seals, as had been suggested several times, would have helped.

But I doubt it. I get the feeling something bad would have happened regardless of what we chose.
>>
>>42856849
It's fine...
>Kiba's got a hole in his chest!
>Eh...it's fineee...
>>
>>42856863
>you're getting pretty tired
That's not out of chakra yet. We're still conscious.
>>
I think it's time we show our utterly distorted and unstoppable drive to keep fighting until there is nothing left, he has no shields left and is on the move, he is no sensor if we can line up behind him use our last once of chakra to shoot him though the back hope summoned monkey gets help.
>>
>>42856862
It's technically true. We can just say "I was going to shoot him, but he grabbed Kiba with an extended arm and then blocked the shot with him". That is completely factually accurate, we're just leaving one tiny detail out. Lies by omission are the best lies.
>>
>>42856891
Relax, we just need to get him a heart.
>>
>>42856923
That would just make Kiba feel bad for getting in our way. We should tell him the truth that we wouldn't let him get in the way of the mission he fought for.
>>
>>42856826
Objection!

The wound is clearly our jutsu! We literally carved our signature into him.

>>42856816
Reverse summon ourselves to monkey land. Ask them for a healer.

Oh wait. Monkeys and dogs have a weird rivalry...
>>
>>42856923
Why would we even lie? We could just say "he'd have killed them anyway, because he was Akatsuki and they're all like that".

And it would be true. It was either take a risk or put our trust in an S-Rank criminal who had repeatedly threatened to eat our teammates' hearts. That's not really a choice.

>>

No. I'm sick of villains getting away. We haven't succeeded in a single plot-significant mission yet. One way or another, the Akatsuki is taking a loss today.

You consider sniping him from here, but you may not hit him. Even if you did, if you passed out here, there would be no one to help your teammates.

You check on them. Everyone except Kiba is unconscious, but they don't seem to have any lasting damage. Kiba has a hole though his torso. Luckily it didn't hit his heart or lungs, but he's bleeding out something fierce. You apply basic treatment immediately to stop the bleeding as best you can. He still needs real treatment, so he has to get help.

What kind of shitcunt are you?

We made an oath that we would carry on the will of the fallen. Also, we said we would protect the Jinchuuriki.

We're still in the "shaped by events" phase, apparently (a polite way of saying on the rails).

The kind that knows how to prioritize. We swore to protect the village. The Akatsuki getting their hands on another Tailed Beast will cause it a million times the suffering that Kiba's death will. We've already decided that the potential death of our team is acceptable, we made that decision when we shot at Kakuzu instead of agreeing to his terms. And now you want to back out that you've been confronted with the consequences first hand? What kind of shitcunt are you?

You perform the Summoning Jutsu. In a puff of smoke appears Sarutaro, slightly bigger then the last time you saw him. You direct him to go get help, and he takes off across the desert.

You still consider chasing the masked man, but you're at your limit. You wouldn't make it far.

You do what you can to treat the others until help arrives. It eventually does, and the others are taken by medical ninjas to get treated.

Tenten is here as well.

"We should be able to keep Kiba alive, we got here in time." she says. "But everybody else needs to rest. That includes you, Kon."

Fine, so we won't save Fuu. But we can still kill Kakuzu. Then we'd at least cost the Akatsuki something instead of just handing them victory after victory.

Bugman needs some love too, you know.

Engage: Anger Overwelming

Shino is still out there, either I see everyone get out of here or I give them hell before dragging them there with me.

We need to track that guy, find him, kill him before he gets his partner to cover him, he has 1 heart, we injured him and now we have a grudge.
>>
>>42857362
Would that be safe? Fodder sent out purely for numbers might just give Kakuzu more hearts back.

We are barely standing, and the ONLY one concious in our group. If we try and press the fight against kakuzu, there is good odds of him just wasting us, and then coming back and finishing off ALL of our downed comrades. Then, not only does Akatsuki get a new Jinchuuriki, Kakuzu gets a whole bunch of new hearts, the Sand loses 2 of its up and coming Jonin, and the Leaf loses a whole squad of good ninjas.

Bullshit. Even right now people are still voting to go back into the field. There isn't a single god damn "You're right, I am too tired to keep going" vote. So clearly no one believes that. You're just trying to justify your cowardice, keep from admitting that this mission is going to fail because you didn't have the will to keep going.

"Someone needs to go after that guy!" you insist. "And Shino is still out there alone!"

"We're going to have teams sent out to search." Tenten replies. "And I believe in Shino. He's not going to let himself be killed like this. Anyway, you need to rest, then you can go search too. You're useless if you pass out. I'm going to go start, you can catch up to me, okay?"

Kon is done. That was an opponent canon Kakashi was getting his shit wrecked by. There was never any realistic chance of killing him to begin with, and any that remained disappeared the second we ended up attacking with Heavenly Lance instead of trying out a new charging attack.

We were MEANT to lose this engagement, and we have. No amount of FIGHT DA POWAH is going to change that fact.

"I'm going." you insist.

"Fine then." Tenten responds. "I'll look after you once you pass out."

The two of you take off in the direction the masked man went, but it's only a few hours before you indeed do pass out.

When you wake up, the two of you continue your search. You have found yourself in the Land of Rivers, the Akatsuki may have some kind of base here.

On the third day of your search, the two of you are approached by a figure. It's Shino. He looks exhausted, but unharmed. He's carrying something on his back, but it's covered in his beetles.

Technically we're 1.0 away from the prerequisites to LEARN that.

You know what the worst part of that fight was? We could've potentially killed Kakuzu if we'd focused on improving our offense instead of our defense which we didn't even use. I also voted for defense, but them regrets now.

We're not allowed to succeed yet. Anons being retards just gives Laze an excuse.

Unless that's Fuu on his back. I hope it's Fuu. Alternatively, Hidan, too eaten away by beetles to move. I would accept losing Fuu if it meant they lost Hidan.

We're facing down a guy who eats high level Jonin for lunch, we're lucky to have hurt him at all.

Anon, improving our defense through chakra shaping won. We got a barrier that's too chakra-intensive to use in a prolonged fight and a better version of Feedback with the same problem as the barrier.
>>
>>42857958
Actually, you know the real reason we lost? It's because we used precise piercing attacks instead of big wide-area ones. Piercing attacks can't damage his cloak enough to make him remove it. Akatsuki never die until you remove the cloak. We need to prioritize that, make some sort of clothing-shredder jutsu.
>>
>>42858016
We AkibaStrip now?
>>
>>42858016
makes sense, Shino probably just got his bugs to eat whichever Akatsuki member's cloak he ran into, insta win right there.

It was an encounter we were clearly not meant to win. I will give you passing out being the result of stupidity, but I doubt it would have changed the ultimate result.

Speaking of things I'm apparently not allowed to do, fucking Captcha is doing my nut.
>>
>>42858048
The beetles aren't eating Fuu. They're eating Chomei's chakra.
>>
>>42858037
I'm not arguing that we should have won, I'm merely pointing out that nothing we did would have allowed us to win.

Saving Fuu was not an achievable objective for Kon.
>>
>>42858062
Or they're carrying her corpse because Shino's strength is pretty mediocre.
>>
>>42858037
>>42858037
I think its more amazing we basically took no damage rather we ran outta chakra, what do you think is with all thee haters though? i'm having fun, also now we have an Akatski rival, we will inevitably fight again and know one another better, good story and fun.
>>
>>42858048
>Anon, if it's Fuu covered in beetles, what do you think the odds are that Shino alone managed to keep her alive?
Pretty good. He could have defeated Hidan and then managed to run and hide from a Kakuzu too tired from our fight to keep up with him. And then we managed to find him and Kakuzu didn't because we had the tracer bug he left. Makes perfect sense.
>>
>>42858070
Exacly.

The plan was get Kakuzu's attention and give Shino(the who was on Hidan's trail) time to get to Hidan and rescue Fuu.

That was the plan from the very begining
>>
>>42858086
I'm willing to accept a dead Fuu. A dead Fuu is a Fuu they can't extract Chomei out of. He's going to be unavailable for them to capture for another couple of years. At least it buys us some time.

"Shino, you okay!" you exclaim. "What happened?"

Shino is panting hard. "I've been feeding my beetles with my chakra so they'd preserve the tailed beast's for her."

"What are you talking about, Shino?" Tenten asks.

"I followed the Akatsuki member that took Fuu, and had my bugs drain her chakra as we went." Shino explains. "I heard them talking about the Jinchuuriki dying if their tailed beast is extracted, and I just decided to try this on a hunch. I certainly didn't think I had what it took to face an Akatsuki member alone, so I stayed in hiding. They took her to a cave where they performed the extraction over the past couple of days. When they left, I had my beetles try and give her back the chakra that they took. I think we can keep her alive if we get her treatment soon."

>>
>>42858103
If she's alive we're totally claiming at least partial credit. There's no way personally destroying three of Kakuzu's hearts, helping with the fourth, and further shooting him in the chest didn't help.

If Fuu died though, not our fault.

"Good work Shino." you tell him. "So they still got the tailed beast?"

"I'm afraid so." Shino replies. "But perhaps we can have the cave staked out. It may prove valuable."

"We'll have it done." Tenten tells him. "For now, let's head back. We need to see what we can do for Fuu."

The three of you return to the Sand and give Fuu over to the medical ninja. Apparently the chakra Shino took is what allowed her to survive.

When she wakes up, you ask what happened. Apparently the two Akatsuki attacked when her team was weakened from the exam.

"I guess he really was my friend after all." Fuu says, uncharacteristically down. "He gave those bugs his chakra so I could live. I guess I did get lucky, huh Chomei?"

In light of the events, the third round of the exam is cancelled. All nine of the ninja that passed the second round where allowed to receive promotions.

After everyone has recovered, you all head back to the Leaf village. The Hokage is very anxious to hear your story.

Oh my

>>42858343
While we obviously took a few tips from The End. And Sasuke from The Fury.
Heh. Crazy spaceman loved fire.

>>42858419
Good thread, Laze.
Even if we did fuck up once or twice. Or thrice. Or... damn we suck. And only occasionally in the fun way.
>>
>>42858419
Thanks for running
>>
>>42858419
Thanks for running Laze.
Fuu's still alive, i'm so happy
>>
>>42858419
Any gains in this thread Laze?
>>
>>42858419
I do hope we're at least going to get the chance to talk to Fuu now that we can actually be her friend.

Also, how will Kon's decisions and relative success be viewed when he gives his report? Because trusting an Akatsuki was absolutely NOT an option, so it'd suck if he got nailed for that.
>>
>>42858456
Kon = The End
Sasuke = The Fury
Shino = The Pain
Kiba, you have two choices: Joy or Fear. TenTen, Kankuro, Fuu or Temari, you can fight to be the last member of our squad.
>>
>>42858419
So, Shino confirmed for a fuckup. A badass fuckup, but still a fuckup. Well, at least he's in good company with the rest of the team. God, we suck.
>>
>>42858501
>We held off a guy who can fuck up Kakashi and gave Shino time to rescue Fuu
>We suck
Okay then
>>
>>42858526
And yet we still consistently fail at our objectives. The fact that we do cool things along the way does not negate that.
>>
>>42858489
Most of your stats are getting pretty high, so gains on them will slow down without explicitly training them

And you didn't really do much to help your low stats

So no

Not this thread
>>
>>42858501
Yeah, I'd be curious to know what Jiraiya thought we could actually have hoped to do in that scenario. Because it's not like you could reasonably expect better than what happened.

Other than pursuing until we passed out, which honestly seems like a result of QM rigidity more than anything else in light of how many "rest and get summoned" votes apparently were counted separately from "rest".
>>
thanks for the tread Laze. That was a pretty intense battle, amazing no one died! but anyways GG Chromei. We need to train up new techniques, multiple piecing shots and the like. Whatever the case lts hope Fu and Shino can pair up, they are nice together maybe they can start a hive together or a swarm.
>>
>>42858419
>All nine of the ninja that passed the second round where allowed to receive promotions
does that include Sasuke Kiba and Shino?
>>
>>42858494
Jiraiya's not going to fault you for trying

He'd be hard pressed to trust an Akatsuki either
>>
>>42858545
Our objective was to get Kakuzu's attention so Shino would get a better chance of rescuing Fuu

I'd say that was a success
>>
>>42858595
No, it was a Sand team, Team Asuma and Team Guy
>>
So right now in the timeline we are what like 1/3 way through the timeskip?
>>
>>42858495
Kiba kinda fits the fear. He moves oddly when he goes beasty.
What about The Sorrow?
>>
>>42858628
At least Haku got promoted
>>
>>42858642
Around there, yes
>>
>>42858628
Wait

Does the chunnin exam happens in the same day each year?

Cuz if it does then we'd be 14 now
>>
>>42858654
How much trouble is Taki in right now?
>>
Will we get a chance to do a training montage with Monkey King if we asked Laze?
>>
>>42858654
Can Sasuke do the Chakra matching thing he did in canon to allow psuedo Kekkie Genkai?
>>
>>42858667
You'll be turning 14 in a couple of weeks

>>42858676
They're panicked

Luckily for them, the Leaf is willing to be their sworn ally
>>
>>42858628
man, that's pretty bullshit. I mean, I'm not asking you to change it, but that's bullshit
>>
>>42858646
The Sorrow? Hmmm... Fuu seemed pretty sad.
There's also Haku. I wonder if he's still sad about Zabuza.
What about The Joy? (Of course, in THIS Cobra Unit, The End becomes The Boss, not The Joy.)
>>
>>42858607
No, our objective was to prevent Akatsuki from acquiring any more Tailed Beasts. Which we failed at. Fuu being alive is nice, but it doesn't really matter much. I guess it might make things a bit easier in the end game, since Gaara and Fuu have swapped places as "jinchuriki who survives with powers but reduced stamina" and "jinchuriki that gets corpse-puppeted by Obito. But it's not like Kon knows that. As far as he's concerned, he failed.
>>
So we led a fight against an Akatsuki that had once tried to assassinate Hashirama Senju, and personally 'killed' him three times before forcing a technical draw. How much cred does this gain us, on a scale of 1 to "mad"?

And how frustrated/surprised was Tenten that we decided (at the behest of a bunch of retards) that we'd rather push ourselves to unconsciousness than rest?

And how upset was Kiba when he found out we accidentally shot him, or how upset will he be?
>>
>>42858602
So when we get back can we tell him that we've changed our answer from "protect the jinchuriki" to "go after Akatsuki"?
>>
>>42858667
Chunin exams are held every 6 months in canon
>>
>>42858701
You can ask

He might let you if you can convince him, but it's more likely that he'll make you wait

>>42858704
I don't remember that

>>42858712
I mean, they didn't finish the second exam

They're kind of mad, but they'll get over it

>>42858739
Furious

She was kind of irritated, but she wasn't going to stop you if you really wanted to go

He'll be pissed enough to make sure you never give him shit about Haku again
>>
>>42858776
You could if you wanted

>>42858781
This one had a year in between due to reasons
>>
>>42858802
>Oh fuck we lost Haku mocking rights
Now I'm just sad
>>
>>42858802
>I don't remember that
It was during the fight against the Ten Tails, Sasuke synchronized an Amaterasu arrow with a Rasenshuriken to make a "Scorch Release" attack.
>>
>>42858419
So, are we going to admit that we made what could be considered mistakes?
>>
>>42858838
>You could if you wanted
Good. Let's be proactive instead of reactive.
>>
>>42858863
Like not going after Kakuzu immediately, and instead wasting chakra on summoning a monkey?
>>
>>42858802
>I don't remember that
That how he an Naruto did the Scorch Release: Halo Hurricane Jet Black Arrow Style Zero combination technique. I kinda want to do that, but have him match our wind/lighting Impact chakra so its 1/3rd wind/lighting/fire for massive destruction.
>>
So where exactly was Hidan/Kakuzu's partner during this whole ordeal?
>>
>>42858885
Or endangering our teammates.
>>
>>42858802
>He'll be pissed enough to make sure you never give him shit about Haku again
Balls.
But we earned the loss.
>>
>>42858863
Sure, we made one tough decision in choosing not to trust Kakuzu at his word that can't be considered right or wrong, and we pushed on despite it being a far smarter idea to rest. Nothing came of the latter, but it temporarily made us a burden to our team.

Both of these can be directly attributed to having been the last man standing in a fight against a guy who LITERALLY eats other members of Akatsuki for making him mad, and who threatened us with the same treatment multiple times over our kekkei genkai.

Anyone who seriously held that against a thirteen year old would have to lack all sense of perspective.
>>
>>42858927
Well, that was a bad idea, but it wasn't a mistake as such. The mistake was not following through. If you're going to decide to risk your teammates' lives to complete the mission, don't pussy out after they've been hurt. Finish the job.
>>
>>42858849
You mean that wasn't some sharinnegan bullshit? That sounds kind of OP, I'm not sure I'd be on board with that

>>42858863
The fight went about as well as it could have, everyone was completely outclassed and you got big hits in where you could

If you had pursued Kakuzu immediately, you would have caught up to him in time to meet Hidan. That would have been a whole new issue entirely

>>42858867
You know you haven't done either yet

This was actually a coincidence

>>42858899
Hidan was taking Fuu.
>>
>>42858957
>Said 13 year old was in charge of holding an exam that is very needed for the relations with other villages
>Said 13 year old is also someone in a medium military rank
>>
>>42858993
I'd actually rather stick to protecting the Jinchuuriki and not pussyfoot around with our resolve, is that okay, Laze?
>>
>>42858993
>You mean that wasn't some sharinnegan bullshit? That sounds kind of OP, I'm not sure I'd be on board with that
No, it was totally Sharingan bullshit. Just Sharingan bullshit that actually got explained instead of "fuck you, I'm a Uchiha". It was him using the chakra sensing and high precision that the Sharingan grants to integrate his technique into Naruto's.
>>
>>42858993
>You mean that wasn't some sharinnegan bullshit?
http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Scorch_Release:_Halo_Hurricane_Jet_Black_Arrow_Style_Zero
Look under trivia.
>>
>>42859007
We were in charge of an exam, not fighting the sort of opponents that the village would have assigned an ANBU hit team to deal with had they known.

This is absolutely not the sort of fight you expect a Chunin to take responsibility over.
>>
>>42859021
Maybe he could pull that off later, then

That'd seriously be some endgame shit though
>>
>>42859059
>>42859061
What the fuck was Anko doing?
>>
>>42859020
I'd actually rather accomplish something due to growing as a character and realizing that our resolve is worthless without action to support it. But you know, that's just me.
>>
>>42859077
She was the one who stayed behind to proctor

You could have had her go instead

There's no telling what would have happened then, though
>>
>>42859077
Wrapping up the exams.

She didn't know it was Akatsuki when we left any more than we did IC. Though it wasn't hard to figure out OOC.
>>
>>42859089
I'd rather git gud so we can effectively protect people from Akatsuki. Today's mission was unofficially a success in our book. Well, not the one we have to write FAILED in, but yeah.
>>
>>42859111
Kinda disappointing that all our neat ideas for random team battles just got canceled.
>>
Archive?
>>
>>42859132
That's Sunagakure, baby.
>>
>>42859171
Got it
>>
>>42859126
The fight with Kakuzu wasn't even a part of the mission. The mission to handle the Exams was essentially cancelled the moment we walked into an ongoing Akatsuki battle.

Where we immediately began wrecking shit FAR above our paygrade. Neji got promoted for one pinpoint strike to a tenketsu on a guy who wasn't even Akatsuki. We destroyed three of Kakuzu's hearts and set up Sasuke to hit a fourth.

Even the people who were annoyed at us for the odd poor decision have to be fucking impressed at that.
>>
>>42859217
I guess that landed us into Jounin material

Or not considering our following choices
>>
>>42859077

Derping around at the exam because we wanted to go personally help our bros because we are the MC. I am of the opinion that having a special jounin go fight would have made more sense, but that one was decided before I found this thread.

And besides, when does "making sense" have anything to do with decision making in a shonen?
>>
>>42859217
Who did Neji attack and when?
>>
>>42859263
Again, the only real choice we'd have to answer for was pushing on despite being exhausted. Which is easily accounted for IC due to extreme fatigue after a desperate battle for survival against a vastly superior opponent, and the "protect everyone complete mission" mentality taking over as our teammates got dropped one by one. In a setting where medics are explicitly trained not to stop doing their job until they're dead or the job is over, that sort of drive is to be expected.

OOC it was a minority who voted for it, so it's not even "our choice". Many of those seemed not to understand basic facts about the situation when they cast their votes. I'm honestly a bit cheesed at that still.
>>
>>42859285
In canon it was some guy from the Sand who got drawn out by Gaara's attempt to use himself as bait for Akatsuki. He was trying to seal Gaara and Fuu, so Neji struck the tenketsu he was using to do the sealing to stop it.

Neji was subsequently promoted straight to Jonin for assisting the Kazekage with a single love-tap. Akatsuki got Fuu as she was going home.

Kon, meanwhile, took charge and turned around a battle in progress against an Akatsuki member. And very nearly won, too.
>>
>>42859350
Indeed that is true and we're allowed that kinda mistake since we just found ourselves against some random diehard S-Rank Akatsuki Agent and crippled him greatly

For a chunnin that's pretty badass, but thanks to our choice of fainting like an idiot instead of just letting Tenten tag us and rest for a few hours before resuming kinda took a few points from the "Possible Cadidates for Jounin" score.
>>
So Laze what are the chances of Kon being promoted to Jounin after pretty much ending 3 of Kakuzu's Continues?
>>
>>42859431
I don't know, we've got Jiraiya for Hokage for at least a little longer. Refusing to leave a man behind despite being exhausted would probably raise the score in his eyes enough to counteract the loss from pushing too far and collapsing like an idiot.
>>
Kon Karagowa: The Heartbreak Sage.

Has kind of a ring.
>>
>>42859482
You'll definitely be put in for consideration, but Jiraiya's going to leave the decision up to Itachi
>>
>>42859431
We can always blame that one on exhaustion, although we've historically shown an unhealthy willingness to push on despite our own flagging stamina. It's just that noone's been on hand to say, quite firmly 'No, you're in no shape to continue this.'
>>
>>42859482
>Three elements including a kekkei genkai
>Decent enough at genjutsu to recognize and dispel it, but not really to use it
>Took on Akatsuki and forced a draw
Debatable. The genjutsu weakness is a serious limiting factor.
>>
>>42859493
Yeah but there's a variable that both Kon and Jiraya are aware

Tenten

She could tag Kon,letting him rest for a few minutes/hours so then he wouldn't collapse and would still be searching for Shino and Fuu while being capable of actual combat

Kon not suggesting that was stupid since that was pretty much his idea ever since the Hinata Rescue Arc IIRC
>>
>>42859495
No. Nobody wants to be part of the Konoha Screwjob.
Except Danzo, if he's still alive. Seems like his schtick.
>>
>>42859544
Again, by and large people wanted some version of that. But the largest single vote was for retardation, and the QM went with that.

Honestly, it shouldn't even have BEEN a vote.
>>
>>42859495
Kon Karagowa: Heartbreaker and Nametaker.
>>
>>42859544
On the other hand, he was also refusing to let Tenten go into hostile territory on her own. So again, it's kind of a washup. I imagine all of that put together is going to get Jiraiya and Itachi wondering if Kon might have some long term issues about losing people, tied to seeing Hiruzen die, and denying him promotion until he gets counseling.
>>
>>42859594
Honestly our intelligence is 2.5

Tenten tagging us shouldn't even be a write in but a ready choice whenever she's with us

We should be smarter than this guys
>>
>Sasuke gets taken off to train with Jiraiya
>Tsunade already has three students
>Kakashi is busy with missions
>Kon is just kind of on his own, somewhat left behind with no great teacher to build his skills under
>Suddenly, one night, there's a tapping on Kon's window
>It's motherfucking Kakuzu

So, Itachi is probably looking for possible successors to himself already, knowing he'll be Hokage soon.

Who is he looking at?

>Implying he wouldn't murder us in our sleep to steal our bloodline.
>>
>>42859668
Konohamaru. Sasuke. Tsunade if his end is unfortunately early.

Definitely not Kon, because people tend to forget he exists. Iruka sensei didn't even know his name when he graduated.
>>
>>42859637
Laze was being lazy, that's all it was. And now WE have to pay for it.

>>42859763
Dang, we should ask Konohamaru if he can find the rumored Shadow Clone jutsu.

>>42859658
I'd be OK with that. W buy our way into numerous points of power, tear down th Aktski and have kakuzu as head bounty hunter of the world, we throw large amount of money and the lik
>>
>>42859797
We should learn that shit

Kakashi knows that tech, we should bitch at him until he teaches that to us
>>
>>42859658
I would enjoy this were it not for the fact that he would inevitably murder us for the sake of profit.
If he didn't, he wouldn't be Kakuzu.
>>
>>42859753
>orochimaru on one side
>kakuzu on the other
>both beckoning kon towards them
I want it
>>
>>42859866
>Doesn't matter what side we choose
>We'll die anyway
Okay
>>
>>42859829
We need to increase our stamina at this point.
>>
>>42859886
Our stamina is 3.0 m8

It's already above average

We got really fucking tired because Kakuzu's 4.0/5.0 IIRC
>>
>>42859829

We've been aiming for exploding clones since day 1, but our chakara reserves haven't ever really been good enough for them.
>>
>>42859836
He'd probably just be in it to fight someone worth killing again, like in the good old days.

Some vestigial sense of pride, maybe.
>>
>>42859901
Kakashi was fine at 3.0 in canon because he had excellent chakra control.

Guess what?
>>
>>42859945
I think Laze that if our chakra control could be measured like the other stats our chakra control would be 4.0
>>
>>42859658
I feel like this quest would drastically improve if it went off-canon, because honestly 90% of it is "do the main plot, people are changed around but the same stuff happens". It's all the same story beats.
If Kakuzu figured he could make a lot of money off of us and decided to start some kind of Akatsuki Mary Kay deal, that'd be a step in the right direction.
I don't know, I guess I don't like the idea that so much is the same as the actual story.
>>
>>42859976
Are you excited for the Second Movie, friend?
>>
Perhaps we should focus on eliminating our weak points in the near future...

At the very least, levelling strength will help with impact a bit, since we'd withstand more.

I really wanna catch genjutsu up, but I understand that now may not be the time.

Actually, instead, let's try levelling intelligence in the near future.
>>
>>42858419
So did we tell Kankuro and Temari about that place Shino found?

Think of it this way:
Samurai exist. Not just the ones with Gato, but an entire nation of them: The Land of Iron. They're basically Switzerland as far as the ninja world is concerned.
They serve two purposes:

>job
It was such a waste, and it's all canon. Mifune is probably my favorite non-OP character to play as.

The amount of salt had by NaruSaku shippers was legendary.
Honestly, the only thing I can really complain about after the second timeskip is the conclusion of Sarada Gaiden. Should have had it that Sakura wasn't her mom, but fuck it, she raised Sarada, she's her mom, instead of "don't worry you were the princess all along so it doesn't actually matter".
I'm even okay with Orochimaru and Kabuto getting away with everything.

Blatant backpedaling, goalpost-shifting, using clear edits as evidence, outright denial.

Hinata leaving with Naruto is probably going off the rails.
But it might lead to her and Sasuke hooking up once he turns her back to good, and a Hyuuga/Uchiha mix, according ot Kishi, means one in each eye, and that's a win.
>evil hinata with validation via Naruto's approval
She's going to be dressed sexy as fuck underneath her Akatsuki robes.

It better be Tenten still

Goddamn this is delicious

>Hiashi plays less CK2
Less Crusader Kings 2 is not NO Crusader Kings 2, though.
So I presume he had some sort of a plan that got all fucked up by Hinata running away?

What the fuck.

NaruSaku fans are literally retarded, anon.

Why does Naruto have a voice actress?
>>
>>42860614
Younger animated male characters are frequently played by women because older men have too deep a tone and young kids can't act for shit.
>>
>>42860614
So that he can talk.

>>42860528
I still think Salad being Karin's would have made for a better story, but it's Kishi

What are you gonna do

>>42860544
He would have liked some god tier heirs, yes
>>
>>42860642
Except the kid who did Al in 2003 FMA

He was a fucking godsend
>>
>>42860702
Aang was an actual 12-year-old boy too
>>
>>42860702
I fucking hated the kid in AI tho

Quick question Laze

Does the Say no evil monkey only takes the voice of a person or does he also take the sense of taste as well since it also comes from the mouth?
>>
>>42860867
I was thinking just the voice

Does it really matter though? When are you ever going to taste in battle
>>
>>42860897
Pussy
>>
>>42860897
There are guys like orochimaru that use snakes that can taste the air with their tongues to track enemies and shit

Just saying that blocking taste would make sense
>>
>>42860921
Sure then, why not
>>
>>42860897
Hey laze thought of something. When you do level ups why not use all the numbers? Like taijutsu gets a small increase to 1.7 or so instead of flat .5? Might get the gains assholes off your back. Course it just means more work though so yeah.
>>
>>42860931
I just go by the system they use in the databooks

And yeah that'd be more work, so fuck that
>>
>>42860913
I think we'd be a good matchup against Yugito Nii, she's pretty splosion happy herself
>>
>>42860950
Not really just keep track in the pastebin or hell I'll do it for ya!
