Now that everyone has been assigned, you just have to wait until the bulk of the army arrives. There are a few ninja from various nations already here, sent ahead to help set up the camp. One is handing out 'Shinobi' plates, the new standard for the Alliance Forces, apparently designed by Mifune. You take one and replace your Leaf plate, stowing it away for later.

Surprisingly, Kakashi Sensei shows up the day after the strategy meeting, uncharacteristically early. He's accompanied by Guy and Shikamaru, while the other Jonin are still a day away. As Kakashi switches out his own headband, he looks over his assignment.

"So I'll be leading the Third Division, with you as my Assistant Commander, eh?" he scans the list. "It seems the bulk of our forces will be Leaf ninja, with a handful of others. We've got Guy, Lee, and Haku here. We also have a Nara clan member and a Yamanaka clan member, they'll be helpful."

You can see the gears turning in your teacher's head.

>B.Ask what he wants you to do

So we can know what we're doing and what we can do to help out.

>>46040016
>A.Ask what he's planning
By the way, whatever happened to those two minor villages? I don't think they were even invited to the meeting. We aren't keeping them all in one place right? Because that's an excellent way for them to take crippling damage in a single bad engagement.

You want to know how you'll be expected to help, so you speak up as Kakashi is thinking.

"What are you planning, Sensei?" you ask. "Do you have anything in mind for me?"

"I'm just coming up with some tactics, Kon." your teacher responds. "We've got a lot of resources, but we are in a precarious position. We'll be the first ones in the way, if the Akatsuki decides to brandish their full might. Remember our job is to keep the enemy divided, so the groups behind us have it easier. We're not meant to wipe out the whole army ourselves, just be an obstruction enough that they have to go around separately. That being said, we're going to need to focus on a defensive mindset. Until the enemy makes it past us and to the Second and Fourth Divisions in a way they can handle, we have to hold out. As for you, your abilities as a sensor and a combatant will be a huge asset. I'm thinking of having you operating forward a lot, and we can fill in to pick off stragglers to your flanks. Of course, that's assuming everything goes neatly, but we can adapt as the situation changes."

You look around to see the other Division Commanders and their assistants also planning. Neji will be the Second Division's Assistant Commander, so he's working out plans with Kitsuchi. Temari and Shikamaru are discussing plans of their own, with their usual tone.

"Boy Kakashi, you don't know just how ready I am!" Guy comes up to the two of you. "But you know, being subordinate not just to you, but to your student... It seems like I'm being severely underestimated. Lee and I will just have to work even harder to show what we can do!"

>A.Talk further with Kakashi

>B.Talk to Guy

>C.Go talk to someone else (Specify)

>C.Go talk to someone else (Haku)
Go talk to him about tactics

>>46040456
>C.Go talk to someone else

Talk to Lee. We need him to bail us out when we come up against something we can't fight. Haku is going to be too busy with the swordsmen.

>>46040456
>D.Other
Get our sage senses up and going.

So did Tobi/Obito/Madara tell the Rain that we were the ones that killed Pain and Konan?

>>46040498
>>46040513
>>46040528

You dedicate the rest of your day to memorizing every member of the Third Division. You aren't actually familiar with very many of them, but they'll be following your orders, so you want to at least be able to recognize everyone. Like Kakashi said, most of them are Leaf ninja. Some you know, some you vaguely recognize, and others you're never heard of. There are also a select few ninja from other villages, mainly the Sand and Cloud. Rounding it out are a few ninja from the Mist, Stone, Waterfall, and Grass. There are very few of them, so they should be easy enough to remember.

By the time you get the roster memorized, it's evening. More ninja have been funneling into base camp all day. You head to get some rations for dinner, cooking it just a bit to your liking, so it isn't quite as bland. As you head to sit down in the mess hall, you see some people you recognize already eating. Kurotsuchi and Akatsuchi are here, as are Lee and Guy, Sakura and Tsunade, and Shikamaru and Temari.

>A.Sit next to someone (Specify)

>B.Eat alone

>C.Other

>>46040456
>>B.Talk to Guy
"Don't worry sir, I know better than to underestimate you and Lee. I'll be sure to keep you both in mind for anything crazy that will happen."

>>46040808
>Grass
Wait, when did they show up. I thought it was waterfall and snow?

>>46040792
Yeah, and that you're all trying to stop him from carrying out their "God's" will

>>46040808
>B.Eat alone

Just want to see who makes the effort to talk to us instead of us instigating everything.

>>46040808
>C.Other
Gather up everyone we're unfamiliar with and ask them their specialty so we know how to best use them on the field.

>>46040808
>A.Sit next to someone (Kurotsuchi)

>>46040808
>A.Sit next to someone (Specify)
Mingle with some of the squad leaders of the other villages.
Leaf ninja shouldn't have a problem taking orders from us, but we should make sure our youth isn't a problem for those who might not be as familiar with us.

>>46040860
This. Actually a little curious.

So 2 quick questions
1: Are the samurai of the land of iron apart of the allied forces?
2: Is Hinata a member of the Akatsuki seeing as how she was completely loyal to naruto? And they have replaced fallen members in the past.

>>46040848
I meant us specifically killing Pain & Konan rather than just their motivation to fight us all.

Are they going to prioritize killing us over anything else.

>>46040808
>A.Sit next to someone (Kurotsuchi)
So where have you been posted? Want those lessons in wind release still?

>>46040912
Changing my vote to alone, let's see if anyone makes an effort

>>46040894
Yes

Not officially

>>46040901
He didn't mention you specifically

>>46040935
Why didn't we set up a food cart for the military group again? We could be feeding our division the greatest one last meal before war gets them.

>>46041002
Cause those are supplies that could be used in the actual war. Morale seems okay right now.

>>46040808
>>B.Eat alone

Let people come to Kon.

>>46040860
>>46040884
>>46040934

Everyone you know seems to be deep in their own conversations, so you find a table with no one at it, and start to eat alone. After a while, a couple of people come sit down next to you.

"Yo Kon, what's up?" Kiba asks, as he starts to eat. Akamaru is getting food of his own beside him, while Shino is also here. "Shino and I got assigned to the Fifth Division, Special Battle Division! We get to bail anybody out if they get in trouble."

"A task I think we're suited for." Shino adds. "So I hear you're the Assistant Commander for Third Division. Quite the responsibility. Good luck."

>A.Thanks

>B.Good luck to you, too

>F. My job is gonna be big and scary, so the enemy has to go around me.

>>46041069
>>A.Thanks
>>B.Good luck to you, too
>>C.Ask about their Division

"So what makes the special division special?"

>>46041069

>A.Thanks

>B.Good luck to you, too

>C.Ask about their Division

>>46041069
>C.Ask about their Division
"Is every villages ANBU/black ops team in one group?"

>>46041153
>>46041183

It's good to see your friends still taking it easy so close to the battle like this.

"Thanks. Good luck to you, too." you reply. "So what's the deal with your guy's Division? What makes it special?"

"While the other Divisions are mostly divided by range, with the token specialized ninja to round them out, the Special Battle Division is comprised of ninja with unique skillsets." Shino answers. "That way, we can assist wherever we end up."

"My sister is in the Fifth, too." Kiba adds. "And I think Ino is also with us. Not quite sure who else yet. A bunch of Mifune's samurai, I guess."

"Hopefully the Third Division won't need our help, but if you do, we'll be there." Shino tells you.

You all chat more as you finish eating, then leave. It's getting to be late, and the entire rest of the army is supposed to arrive tomorrow, with drills starting the day after. It might be good to get rested while you can.

You wake up the next morning, ready to head out again. You get past the door of your room, but before you go any further, someone calls out for you.

"Hey,Kon!" you turn to see Kurotsuchi waving you down. "We didn't get the chance to talk much earlier, what with being busy. How about now, seeing as we've got a bit of time before everyone's assembled? I'm curious as to how you've spent the last month and a half."

>A.Sorry Kurotsuchi, kind of busy right now

>B.I spent nearly all of it training

>C.Ask her about her assignment

>D. Did you want to do a bit of Wind Nature training before you headed out?

>>46041435

>>C.Ask her about her assignment

"How has your wind chakra practices been going?"

>>46041435

>C.Ask her about her assignment

>>46041502
>>46041509
>>46041514
>>46041576

You decide that you can spare the time to catch up.

"I spent nearly all of the time training." you respond. "I've gotten pretty strong now. So what's your assignment look like? Oh, and how has your Wind training been going?"

"Little to no progress has been made on that front. A bit hard to do on my own based on half an afternoon of instruction." Kurotsuchi smugly grins. "We can't all be masters of distinguishing chakra natures, Kon. So I spent most of my time practicing my Earth and Lava techniques, which I knew would see use. Though I'm sure the results of my training pale in comparison to yours."

You briefly apologize, but Kurotsuchi waves it off and continues.

"As for my assignment..." she goes on. "They were going to put me in the Second Division, under my father, but I insisted against it. He wanted me there to help supplement his jutsu, but there are better opportunities in Fourth Division. They're funneling most of the enemies there, so there are sure to be powerful ones for me to face. That's why I need to be there with my grandfather. So he can see how much I've grown. After this, I'll be a shoo-in for Tsuchikage."

>A.Good luck

>B.Are you sure that's a good reason for you to be there?

>C.I could still spend some time helping you with Wind Release

>D.Say goodbye and go see someone else

>E.Other

>>46041817

>>46041817
>E.Other
"Can you promise me something? When you are fighting with your grandfather don't take needless risks to try and impress him. I think working with your team would impress a Kage way more than trying to do things solo."

>>46041817
>A.Good luck
Don't offer to help her with Wind Release, there really isn't any time for it right now. We go to war in like six hours.

>>46041948
You've got like a week to drill starting tomorrow

>>46041972
I have misunderstood the timeline, then. I still think a week is probably too short a time to teach her anything useful, though. Especially when Kon really doesn't know Wind Release that well. We're used to using it as part of a combo, not on its own. When was the last time Kon used a pure Wind jutsu? Was it back in the Land of Snow? I think it might have been back in the Land of Snow.

>>46042023
The time would probably be better spent drilling with the members of the team we're actually on, make sure we've got the coordination to not get everyone killed.

>>46041844
>>46041854
>>46041925
>>46041948

Kurotsuchi seems to be very confident. Like many others, she sees this war as a chance to prove herself. You hope she doesn't get in over her head.

"Good luck." you tell her. "Looking forward to hearing great things about you."

You consider offering to spend some time teaching her Wind Release, but decide against it. There's precious little time as it is. After chatting a bit more, you go your separate ways and meet up with your division. By the evening, everyone has arrived, and you can get a look at the whole team. There seem to be some minor problems with cohesion from some of the older members, but hopefully that can be smoothed over. Once everyone has gotten acquainted, Kakashi dismisses them until tomorrow morning. Every single ninja in the army should be at camp now ready to drill, so you could go see anyone you want.

>A.Stay here and talk to Kakashi

The sealing teams. Mostly because I want to know why the sealing teams are there. In canon they didn't know about the zombie ninjas until they fought them, why would every division have people able to seal them away? It's no better here, we don't know about the zombie ninjas either. Is it in case the Tailed Beasts get deployed and we have to contain them? Why give every division some, then? It would make more sense for there to be a specialized sealing division.

The other forward rangers of the team, if any of us get in trouble we're the ones most likely to be close enough to help. We'll want to be familiar with each other.

>>46042320
>>46042333
>>46042384
>>46042394

You decide to spend the evening getting more familiar with members of your division.

You find Lee, Guy, and Haku sitting near several other of your team members, chatting away. You know you can count on them, but the other ninja are more of an unknown. You go around and clarify the skillsets of several of them, determining which will likely be put forward with you, so you can help them out when the time comes. Most prominently, you meet several Cloud frontliners, as well as a Sand ninja that recognizes your last name. Apparently her teacher had fought your mother at some point. Some ninja you talk to are still resistant to the idea that you are in charge of them, but your fellow Leaf ninja jump in to vouch for you multiple times. It seems their confidence in you is quite high. Among them, you recognize one of the proctors from all the way back in your Chunin Exam. He claims he had a hunch the whole time. You also make sure to take note of your division's specialized ninja. Ensui Nara is with you, one of Shikamaru's clanmates, and he specializes in nullifying enemy movements. Santa Yamanaka is your division's intelligence representative, able to use jutsu that effect the mind like Ino. There are also ninja with various other utility skills to be ready in the case of anything.

As the evening drags on, the ninja all head to their quarters to rest, ready to start drilling tomorrow. When you wake up, Kakashi tells you to follow him.

"The army is getting assembled." he tells you. "We're to stand before our divisions as Lord Jiraiya makes a speech."

You and Kakashi make your way to a stone outcropping that serves as a platform. Below you, the army is slowly starting to fill in. You look around and see the other leaders up here, from the Kage to the Division commanders and their assistants.

>A.Talk to someone before the speech (Specify)

You wait in silence next to Kakashi as the army all falls in. You go ahead and enter Sage Mode to sense around, just to be extra sure you won't get any unintended guests.The Kage are standing behind you all, the Division Commanders and Assistant Commanders, who are all spaced out in front of your respective groups.

To your left are Temari and Shikamaru, and Mifune and one of his Samurai. To your right are Kitsuchi and Neji, and Darui and some blonde woman from the Cloud.

After the whole army has arrived, Jiraiya and Rasa step forward between you and Kakashi, and Kitsuchi and Neji. Despite his injuries, his stature is no less imposing than ever.

"I am your Regimental Commander. The Fifth Hokage, Jiraiya." he begins. "Now that formalities are out of the way, I'm sure you all know why we're here. We, the entire ninja world, are here to oppose Akatsuki. They threaten not just the Cloud that they are to march on now, but the entire world. Madara seeks to use the tailed beasts to plunge the entire world into a genjutsu for all time. Stopping that is the reason we are all here."

For the most part, the army is listening silently, but there are a few people you can notice from here that are not content with the situation.

"For the first time in history, ninja from so many villages have come together!" he makes a sweeping gesture across the army with his hand. "Now, you all no doubt have your reservations. For three world wars, these other villages have been your enemies. Some of you may have even fought in those wars yourself. I've been in two of them. The feelings you incur from the experience are not so easily discarded. They've shaped who we are. Made some of us do things in the name of our villages that we'd perhaps rather have not. Isn't that right, Rasa?"

Jiraiya looks to his Assistant Commander. Even he seems surprised, but Rasa steps forward to speak.

>Continued

>>46043329

"I am of the firm belief that we can all set aside our differences." the Kazekage begins. "We have all wronged and been wronged by each other in the past. I am no different. The wars of the past caused me to seek out a way to make my village even more powerful. Then when I thought I had failed, under the belief that it was for the good of my village, I conspired to kill my own son. Truly unforgivable. But even still, I have been forgiven. No matter what burdens your hearts, be it guilt, grief, or vengeance. We have the power to move past it. Those that have wronged you and been wronged by you bear the same burdens. When both parties wish to forgive each other, they both are stronger for it. And no matter your feelings, even if it is hard, it is possible."

"That's right." Jiraiya steps forward again. "Every single one of you here, no matter your village or rank, has one thing in common. And that very thing is why we will not roll over and let Madara do as he pleases. We will not give in to his fantasy dreamland. No matter the hardships, we will press on and make this a better world ourselves. No matter the feelings that burden our hearts, we will continue to do our duty. Because..."

Jiraiya points to his new headband with his thumb.

"We are shinobi! And we endure!"

The army cheers. Most of it, anyway. Some are still reluctant to cooperate, but those are few and far between. After the speech, all the divisions go separately to drill.

>What do you focus on during this week?

Running errands. back in a bit

>>46043613
Combos with kakashi and comboing with our own skillset

>>46043613
Working with the rest of our division. Last thing we want is a failure in communication to cost lives.

>>46043613
Coordination and team work

>>46043613
Coordination and teamwork.

Team work and the likes, maybe get better at our water release... Gonna need it.

>>46043613
Team work and coordination.

Focus on building people's weak points into strong points. Have people work with their opposites and have each one teach the other a jutsu in an elemental release their weak in but supports their normal techniques.

Then bring everyone's strength together for ideal combinations. Both groups, trios, and as teams.

>>46043706

You and Kakashi spend the week drilling your division in teamwork and coordination. You have a week to get most of these people that have never met working like a well oiled machine. You drill from sunup to sundown, practicing formations, combination jutsu, and reactions to emergency situations. Over the course of the week, you notice ninja from the other villages gaining a lot more respect for you. Whereas in the beginning, they would only do as you said reluctantly, they come to admire your ability during your drills. By the end of the week, they can coordinate flawlessly at your command. Together, you all practice drills for various situations, reacting to enemy contact in a number of different contexts. Even the soldiers under your command that showed nothing but disdain for the others begin to support each other. The villages have truly all come together as one unit.

By the last day, and the eve of the war, you and Kakashi feel as though your division is as well trained as it could possibly be.

"You've all done a great job training." Kakashi addresses the group. "We don't know what we're going to face starting tomorrow, but I know all of you can face it as a team. We've drilled teamwork into you the likes no one could ever expect from an army with a composition like this. I'd trust each and every one of you to watch my back. You all go get one last night of rest, then get ready to head out tomorrow morning. The whole army, and the whole world, is counting on us. Dismissed."

The group splits off for the night, leaving you and Kakashi. This will be the last chance you get to talk to anyone before heading off for war.

>>46044543
True story, cousins that are as genetically distant as Kon and Deikida can and do marry in places other than the dirty South, with no social stigma. It was not uncommon in feudal Japan in particular, which served as one inspiration for this setting.

>>46044543
Oh, so when Neji and Hanabi do it's okay but when Kon wants to do it's wrooong.

Hey maybe the fate of our clan doesn't have to depend on us to get some cuzaction.

You decide to go see your friends and family from the Stone tonight. You find Kurotsuchi, Akatsuchi, Deikida, and your uncle Katsuki all relaxing around a fire. They seem to be taking it easy up until the last moment.

"Hey, Kon!" Katsuki calls. "Good to see you. Assistant Division Commander, that's something! I thought I was gonna get that position for the Second Division, but your friend Neji took it. Not that I mind, he's a good kid. Smart, too."

"And I'm in the Fifth Division." Deikida says, brandishing her hand cannon. "I'm even stationed close to the Third. If you guys need to get bailed out, well... I can do it, just be ready to take cover."

Everyone has a little chuckle at that.

"So what's on your mind, Kon?" Kurotsuchi asks. "I hope you didn't come here because of some unfortunate premonition."

>E.Just wish them all luck and leave

>>46044709
>>46044778
>>46044796

You reassure Kurotsuchi, then head over and sit next to Deikida.

"Glad to know I can count on you if I get in trouble." you tell her. "So your cannon looks different. Is that the new one you and Tenten were working on?"

"Sure is." Deikida says, holding it up for you to see. "This one can dish out damage like you've never seen. It almost scares even me how effective it is. Hopefully I get plenty of chances to show it off. I really want to make it a staple of the clan, if possible. Everyone was always laughing as i tinkered around, but after this, no one will be able to doubt any longer."

You offer to give her some Impact tags, but she has a different idea. She asks you to imbue one of her shells with Impact chakra just in case, and you oblige. She stows that one away for safekeeping.

"Who knows?" she asks. "It may end up saving someone's ass. Thanks."

I don't actually have anything to say to anyone, and I don't know what I would say, but I still wouldn't mind broing it up with Rock Lee.

I didn't vote earlier, but I'm glad you guys voted for the "train army in drills and teamwork" choice. I mean, it's the quality Kakashi first saw in us and praised highly. It didn't occur to me at the time, but I think if he'd seen us turn our back on that, he'd have died a little bit inside, and that thought makes me sad. But now he'll know we're the same Kon we were as a Genin, and that all this bullshit hasn't changed us too much.

>>46044939
Help Kiba enhance his senses with his sage senses before the battle.

He can probably sense a lot better then us if he applies it that way.

>>46044939
>>46045152
Im down for all this

>>46045246
Proud Kakashi is best Kakashi.

Alright, back. Gonna talk to Kurotsuchi first, then Tenten and that's it

Oh boy

>>46045391
This'll be something.

>>46045391
>Oh boy

My imaginary popcorn bowl is full and ready for some salt.

You talk a bit more with Deikida, then wish all the Stone ninja good luck as you start to leave. Before you can, Kurotsuchi stands up and calls to you.

"Kon, we need to talk." she says. "Follow me."

You kind of wanted to talk to her alone anyway, so this works out. She leads you around to the side of a rocky outcropping close enough to see camp from, but far enough away that no one could really hear or see you clearly.

"So I imagine after this is all over, we'll have more free time on our hands than we know what to do with." Kurotsuchi starts. "This is the biggest war ever, and I doubt everything will return to how it was before."

Kurotsuchi looks you straight in the eyes.

"After this war, I was intending to start pursuing you seriously." she says. "The climate between our villages should make it feasible. But... if I'm to become Tsuchikage, then we might have a problem. I don't intend on giving up on my ambition, so I won't abandon my village. I expect you won't either. It's part of what I admire about you. So if we were to... move on with a relationship, we'd be looking at one where neither of us is willing to compromise. It'd be a lot of work for us to stay together while living in different villages. I've never even heard of such a thing ever working. But I intend to try just the same. However, if you have objections, then I'll drop it. I don't want to make you do something you'd rather not. In fact, if you need some time to think it over, that's fine too. You don't have to respond right now."

You're floored at how blunt she is. It takes you a minute to get your thoughts in order.

>>46045651
>C.I feel the same way
I like both girls, but Kuro has been having good chemistry with Kon. 10/10 kinda didn't do anything.

>>46045651

>C.I feel the same way

"I'm in pretty good with the Hokage, and his potential replacement. I imagine I could maybe become one of the first ever Ninja with a 'dual-citizenship'.

Living in separate villages would be crazy long-term, but some kind of arrangement should be possible, surely.

I really, really want a relationship with her to be feasible, but so long as she is the prospective Tsuchikage I really just don't think it's a viable option.

Honestly sounds like a recipe for stress, unhappiness, suspician from both villages, a fight down the road between which village gets our release, and in general a massive mess.

Consider 150 threads of nothing but waifuing back and forth, and then suddenly, out of the blue, while everyone for choice A is absent due to the fact that it's 4AM Central time, choice B is picked and permanently locked.

The resulting shitstorm that came from over 150 threads of lobbying for a specific waifu becoming a complete waste of time was epic.

It might be railroading, but it's really the only way to avoid waifu wars.

>>46046063
Or don't have a childish playerbase.

>>46046037
That's why I love HMQ so much

There's no waifu bullshit

You get the tiny angry canadian clone and you will fucking love it

>>46046063
I... Really don't consider it railroading? I mean people don't call it railroading if the QM presents a childhood friend without the players voting on who their childhood friend is. Its less COMMON than that but not categorically different.

>>46046098
Its hard to imagine that Laura was a random event roll in the first thread.

Reminder that best girl won PGQ. Tsundere a shit

>B. I need some time to think.

...th-that's not a death flag, right?

I mean, she's really going to try to be the Tsuchikage and still date us without trying to convert us to the Stone Village.

Wow, that's... that's gutsy. Not to mention political suicide, especially from a more conservative village. And she's really going for it.

Still, it could work. I mean, given this atmosphere, with all the ninja villages united, this relationship would also be symbolic of that. Possibly symbolic of an era of peace.

Honestly, I like the sound of that.

I'm undecided between Stealth Rock and 10/10, but dayum. Tenten better bring her A-game for us, yeah?

>>46046087
That's a long shot, unfortunately.

>>46046111
That's true. It's a fair thing to do if you flesh them out enough and actually connect the playerbase with them.

>>46046119

You can't clear your thoughts. It's so much to think about, and too sudden. You want to respond to her, but you don't think you could do it justice. You decide to take her offer to wait.

"Sorry Kurotsuchi, I need some time to think." you say. "This is a lot to spring up on me. You've clearly thought about this. Thanks for being so upfront, though."

"I expected as much. It wasn't exactly fair of me to bring this up on the eve of war anyway." Kurotsuchi replies. "Don't worry about this when you go out there tomorrow. Just do what you have to. I'll wait for your answer as long as you need me to."

You thank her, then the both of you head your separate ways. You wanted to go see Tenten next, but now it feels like there's a whole new context. You find her just inside the HQ, talking to Itachi.

"We still haven't heard back from Tenzo's reconnaissance team." the Hokage says. "If only I had provided him with one of your kunai. I hope he makes it back alright."

"There's nothing we can do about it now, Lord Itachi." Tenten replies. "We can only believe in him and do our jobs here. Speaking of which, you are going to want me to teleport you to the battlefield if it gets bad, right?"

"Yes, as well as the Mizukage." the Sixth adds. "Thanks to you, we can move about quickly to guard our most vital interests. Believe me when I say you are one of our most vital assets."

"I guess it's nice to hear that." Tenten muses, before she turns and notices you. "Oh, hey Kon. It's been a while. Here to see one of us?"

Seems good. Even if we were all 100% on the Kurotsuchi train it would be nice to finally have Tenten's thoughts out in the open before we left the station for good.

>>46046119
Just to show how much of a kickass QM Crusty is

Imagine what would happen if we got deadpool instead of Laura in that roll

>>46046241
There is no harm in hearing how she feels though.

>>46046324
Well obviously Deadpool would be our waifu and we would get into wacky hijinks which includes getting him and Spiderman mixed up all the time.

I've said that we should talk in private but I'm gonna admit that I have no clue how to actually write what we're going to say right after we get there.

Still in the 10/10 camp though

>>46046375
Be honest. Is it cause you like 10/10 just as anon or cause you think Kon and her mesh well?

Cause I can have a personal waifu in a quest but not vote for her if I think the MC has better chemistry with another character.

Homeless Mutant Quest

>http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?searchall=homeless+mutant

>>46046476
Pretty much this as well

I prefer kuro but 10/10 is a better pair for kon

>>46046241
She didn't friendzone us any more than we friendzoned her.

>>46046513
Ino told us pretty straight up that she was so focused on proving herself that everything else kinda just fell to the wayside.

Pretty much if we want progress we have to be just as blunt as Kuro was with us.

Honestly if i were to criticize tenten for anything it'd be taking kon's interest for granted. It seems like her thought process was "well once I'm done training kon and I can see how we feel" because she never considered kon might develop interest in someone else during that time.

>>46046551
Its also been years since then. I can't realistically imagine Kon still holding a torch for her after that and moving on to flirt with Kuro every time they meet up.

I'm not trying to even bring my opinion in on this, I'm just looking at what's been written.

>>46046593
Well you don't need to imagine because he's absolutely been written as totally holding that torch (though not really any more of a torch than for Kurotsuchi)

>>46046631
>he's absolutely been written as totally holding that torch
I'd ask where you read that, but I'm not going to subject you to archive diving.

Shit I don't even remember 10/10 existing until she got her technique down.

>>46046551
I'm not saying anything about NOW but pretty much at any point we could've said "hey I'm interested in a relationship and I know you're real focused on getting stronger so how about we make an effort to train together when we're both off missions" and I guarantee you she would've said yes.

>>46046196
>>46046225
>>46046262

You want to get another chance to talk to Tenten alone.

"I was just wanted to come by and see how you were doing." you say. "And maybe just talk to you alone."

"Then I suppose I'll take my leave." the Hokage starts to go. "Good luck to you both."

You wish him luck in return, then follow Tenten as she leads you out to a balcony. She looks out at the night sky.

"You know Kon, I was just thinking how cool it would be if I could show up and save you like you did me all those years ago." Tenten smiles. "I mean, I probably won't get to, since you're so strong. I just thought it'd be cool. I was actually thinking a lot about our past. Not just you saving me, but you've always made sure to support me too, like when I was training. Your encouragement really helped. We've been through a lot, actually. We've fought together a whole bunch of times, all the way back to the Chunin Exams. Even before that, the first time we really hung out, you listened to me vent and cheered me up. Heh, you really have always been here for me, huh? It's almost like you..."

Tenten stops talking. The smile on her face slowly begins to fade, and her eyes open wider. Her mouth is left hanging open, and she quickly jerks her head in your direction. Her face is beet red. She raises her arms and covers part of it, looking slightly away.

"S-so, w-what did you want to see me for, Kon?" she stutters. "It's... probably really important, since it's the eve of war and everything."

You can practically see the steam coming off of her head, while her mind seems to be running a mile a minute.

>A.I just wanted to wish you luck

>B.I wanted to ask how you felt

>C.Did you seriously just get it

>D.Other

>>46046670
People were pushing for that before Kurotsuchi was a thing, and they eventually just gave up because nothing even remotely like asking her out ever happened.

The closest we ever got she was totally oblivious.

>>46046670
I agree with you here, but I feel as if we're also to blame for that though. Kon has been pretty squarely focusing on getting stronger as well, to keep up with Sasuke and it predictably ends up eating up a lot of the free time we had and to be perfectly honest and they way it ended up, She couldn't do anything to help as with things like achieving Sage mode.

>>46046721

Eh the timing worked out basically that there was a steady gain of "okay its on us let's straight up ask her out" but not enough to win votes, and right about when it would've started when votes SUDDENLY KUROTSUCHI which attracted a lot of the people who had been pushing to actively pursue Tenten instead of idly pine.

>>46046721
>C
"The timing couldn't have POSSIBLY made this more awkward."

"I don't know what's going to happen tomorrow, let alone after this is all over. So let's just put this off a little while longer, and I'll sort out how I actually feel about this mess when I have a moment to think."

>Kon: my head is so full of fuck right now, seriously this war seems trivial now compared to my heart, why does this happen to me?

>wait what the fuck was even up with your side of the hostility when you met Kurotsuchi if you hadn't caught onto this.

Goddamnit Laze, I'm supposed to be doing shit but instead here I am just trying to figure out what to say.

>>46046721

>D. Spill Spaghetti.

>C.
>B.

I dunno if we have the right to lecture Tenten on being dense, guys. I mean, we're Kon.

Also, we have to be honest with our feelings here. I don't know how we have to be honest but we do.

>D. You've got competition.

>>46046721
>D
"All this time I just thought maybe you weren't interested! And now Kurotsuchi, then this..."

"...just let me fight Madara already, it might be less hazardous to my health."

>>46046879
Look she deserves honesty but the timing for "you've got competition" is really fucking... I don't even know what to call it? "Yeah there's about to be a war and I decided now is the time to focus the attention on another girl's interest in me."

>>46046879
This sounds good, but don't mention the last thing.

>>46046920
The timing for all of this is just absolute mania but I guess a pending world war and the ever present threat of death tends to do that to people. I haven't been this torn over an option in a while.

So what ARE the rules for people like heads of clans, and can they marry more than once? Because both Tenten and Kurotsuchi come across as completely sincere, and I for one know that in Kon's shoes my head would implode before I could make a decision.

>>46047006
Who fucking knows naruto's an eclectic mix of every single time period. But also I'm not sure even if they were down with sister wives that Kurotsuchi would be okay with sharing us with someone who gets to be with us all the time while we need to struggle to make if work with her because that really make it seem like she's the lesser wife.

>>46046943
Honestly I kind of want to put it off even past the end of the quest so that everyone can imagine their own epilogue about the future Karagowa clan.

>>46047006
That should be part of our response literally there is nothing wrong with saying your heart is torn, in Kon's case it's literally between 2 nations, and a flower from each. He has family and friends in each, a girl in each his heart torn in twain and mind lost in thought of what to do.

>>46047051
>>46047006
That seems like an extremely long shot, so for now i say we just tell her what's up, how we feel and ask how she feels. But keep that idea just there for if and when this comes up again

>>46047006
Choosing both is retarded

>>46047051
As opposed to being the one he genuinely works his ass off to be with?

Just saying, shit could cut either way.

You can scarcely believe it. It seems like Tenten didn't actually realize you were interested in her until now.

"I wanted to come wish you luck, but I was also going to ask how you felt." you start. "Did you... seriously just get it?"

"I'm not really experienced with this kind of thing, okay?" Tenten stammers, still covering her face. "I just keep to my ninja tools and my training, and I don't know about all this boy stuff."

Tenten takes some deep breaths to try and calm down.

"I just... every time the other girls talk about that stuff, it just goes right over my head." she says. "I never really had any interest in that kind of thing before, but... I mean, if I really think about it. I can kind of get it. Maybe. I was always so focused on proving myself... but you fit right in there. You were always just a part of that I could count on. Argh! I just don't know! I never had to think about this before! I guess I like you, but this is just so weird to me. I don't even know what I'm doing."

Tenten is completely exasperated.

>A.You can take your time to think things out

>B.This isn't the time to worry about it anyway

>C.Well I like you

>D.Sorry, but that was a long time ago

Try to let her know that there's no pressure either way.

>>46047234
Well, I was leaning Kurotsuchi before, but now I'm definitely sold.

>B.This isn't the time to worry about it anyway
>D.Sorry, but that was a long time ago

Possibly some kind of line about always being there as a friend.

>>46047234
>A.You can take your time to think things out
Apologize for kinda bringing it up out of the blue
>B.This isn't the time to worry about it anyway
We do have a war to win first.

If we could ask about the hostility/rivalry with Kuro that'd be nice. Oh and just to clear it up as we're leaving I would like to add

>C.Well I like you
just so she knows

>>46047234
>This isn't the time to worry about it anyway.
"Honestly if I'd hate to think I fucked up and deprived you of a clear head going into this."

"Just do what feels natural" Kiss her.

>>46047234
>>D.Sorry, but that was a long time ago
>B.This isn't the time to worry about it anyway

>>46047234
See here she is literally just now realizing she might like boys. I think she needs a Friend more than a boyfriend.

>>46047234

>B.This isn't the time to worry about it anyway

Damnit I'm sorry 10/10. With all that I think you're a better friend.

I actually feel really bad about bringing this up. Ignorance is bliss right?

>>46047234
>A
"Trust me, I've got no idea what to do right now either. So let's just focus on what we need to do to survive the war, and we'll sort this all out later"

>>46047234
>E
Don't worry Tenten, im finding this stuff hard to, imagine instead of it going over your head, your heart is been pulled two different ways, shits hard you know.

But hey we are young right. Plenty of time. I came here because I do care, I care very much,stay safe. And don't worry I've got alot to think about too.

>>46047234
>A.You can take your time to think things out
>C.Well I like you

>>46047330
Something similar to this hint that she ain't the only one interest in us, but make it clear we are damn confused ourselves, joke we dare not Enma because Monkeys believe in multiple partners

>>46047234
>>46047330
This

>>46047330
Supporting it.

>>46047234

>>46047330
Dear God i actually agree with someone, this

>>46047234
>>46047330
Supporting as well

>>46047330
seconding.

>>>>46047330
So long as we don't sound like a dick. Oh God, Kon redevelopes/rediscovers Ninshu in an attempt to understand his own heart and help others communicate how theirs feels.

>>46047330
Yeah, this is exactly the kind of situation the Japanese used to write endless poetry about.

>>46047330
Actually, this will work.
Supporting this

>>46047234
Seconding
>>46047330

This was probably not the ideal time for Tenten to confront her feelings. You should probably just make sure she can still do her job tomorrow.

"You can take your time to think things out, now isn't really the time to worry about it anyway." you insist. "Sorry to have to make this issue apparent now of all times, just before a war. I've got a lot to think about, myself. I know how hard this stuff is, but we are young. We've got plenty of time. I came here because I do care, so just stay safe."

You keep thinking, and your curiosity raises its head.

"Wait..." you say. "If you didn't realize, then what was that hostility with Kurotsuchi about?"

"That..." Tenten turns away again. "I guess... Well, you know I care about my ninja tools more than anything... And I can kind of get possessive of them when I'm around people I don't really know... So I guess I kind of thought about you like one of my ninja tools or something. If that makes sense..."

Tenten seems to be having trouble putting her feelings into words.

"I know she's your friend too though, Kon, so don't worry, I got to know her better and we became friends too!" Tenten assures you. "I don't want you to have any worries when you go out there tomorrow either. Just do everything you have to and stay safe. Maybe we can get all this sorted out later. Goodnight, Kon."

With that, Tenten leaves, still flustered. You head back to your own room as well. Early the next morning, you join Kakashi and your Division, ready to head to the front lines.

War is about to begin.

>End of Chapter 73

Next thread will likely be Sunday again

Twitter is @LazeQM

>>46047598

In AD 2016, war was beginning.

Y'all niggas are going to maintain status quo as much as possible huh? Damn chickens.

You would be excellent harem manga writers.

>>46047598
> I kind of thought about you like one of my ninja tools or something. If that makes sense...
That is so sweet i all the wrong ways

>A.Say something to Itachi (Write-in)
Hows it going.

anything but ten ten fuck that friendzoning ho

>>46047647
If only I had a slowpoke

Somebody help me out here

>>46047626
Dude ive made my choice
Kurotsuchi all day

>>46047647
Yeah dont bully. Tenten is still great, shes just a shit tier waifu.

>>46047598
You got me feeling a certain way Laze.

>>46047626

I tried to get us to play for both, but the popular vote wasn't having it.

>>46047714
It wouldn't work. Neither of those girls seem like the sharing type.

We're gonna end up like fucking to love ru after this fucking war is over aren't we?

>>46047740
>Not having a Leaf waifu and Stone waifu
Kon doesn't half-ass things, come on. I think we could pull it off

>>46047755
Thanks, anon.

>>46047790

Seriously, just get ourselves appointed ambassador to Stone.

Honestly it was very mature of everyone to put off the waifu fighting, I'm proud of you all.

>>46047811
Seems like the easiest solution. Leaf embassy leader in the Stone.

>>46047811
You don't want a permanent ambassador to go native, even without romancing a foreign head of state that'd be a concern because of our family.

Give it time...

>>46047811

Why not just this. Plus tensions between villages should be at an all-time low post-war.

>>46047841
Itachi trusts Kon man.

>>46047626
>>46047674
And I've been gunning for 10/10.

>>46047841


Wait, wait, wait, guys. It is time to Crusader Kings the shit out of this. We marry Kurotsuchi, and our kid marries Sasuke's kid when he's Hokage (cuz we know that that will happen down the road). When the 2 kage-kids marry, we create the Leaf-stone super-state. Be like the Fed-Com alliance, and become strongest nation in the world.

>>46047972
Sauce is head clan m8

Also Konohamaru is gonna be Hokage

So Laze
How are the Waifu doing on this last night? Thinking about Kon?

Anyone else had any confessions?

How are Sasuke and Sakura doing both relations and on their own?

No one gonna point out this makes Kon Tentens "tool" with a vibrate setting?

>>46048077
That they are

Ino confessed to Haku, and even he couldn't help but laugh at how absurd that is at this point

Chouji thought about confessing to Karui, but he wants to do something cool first, so he decided to put it off

Sakura was going to confess to Sasuke, but she got interrupted by Lee making his seventh love confession and missed her chance

They are both doing alright, forgot to mention it, but Sakura is the Assistant Division Commander for the Medical Division under Tsunade

>>46048107

Impact Chakra enhanced sexytimes.

>>46048151
By which I mean she is a Jonin now

>>46048151
Naaaaw so Inoxhaku is a go?

What's sasuke doing on this last night on the eve of war? I guess I'm just curulious how everyone spent these last moments as it were? Could you tell us? Like Tsunade, Kakashi, Naruto? Anyone really? Moments before like this bring alot to the surface so I'm curious how everyone's last night's were?

>>46048232
He was doing his usual brooding thing, but he also spent time with his brother reminiscing

Tsunade was chatting away with Jiraiya as usual while making sure all the medical stations were ready

Kakashi shot the shit with Guy until they both were tired enough to sleep

Naruto was finishing his last minute preparations

>>46048297

>Naruto was finishing his last minute preparations

Well that's ominous!

>>46048297
Cool.

So honestly is the end game of this war gonna be much different from canon? Or sticking pretty close?

How buffed has Hinata got?

What are the other kage up to on this last night? Same with B I guess

6tails shown his mug yet?

Wait where's the 3 tails?

>>46048370

Honestly, most things will likely be pretty familiar, but there will be some key differences

Not very, actually

Rasa was enjoying time with his children

A and B were broing it up

Mei was dealing with all the Daimyo's complaints, so she had no fun

Onoki was relaxing with his son

He has

At home with his parents and Genma's squad

>>46048297
LAAATE. I checked to see if you were running today like 30 times! Laze... For all that is holy get a Twitter. Also TenTen is best girl but so is Rockgirl. Why do you make things so hard? I'm really proud to see how you evolved with character interactions over the course of this quest. Kon will always be one of my favorite MCs.
Let us get a sick end game speech at one point in the future. Would love to bring up all the people who've built us up to this point like the third hokage and whatnot.

>>46048547

>I post the twitter at the end of every single thread, anon

.....I'm killing myself. Thanks for running, Laze.

So Laze... What do our odds look like?

I'm more interested in if we have gained a new/more fitting nickname yet and no one joked about Monkeys having multiple partners or called Kon the King of the Swingers

>>46048607
At least you found out now instead of next time

>>46048712
Odds for what

>>46048824
Loosing many people in this war? How are we looking to canon? Anyone weaker than their canon selves? Anyone a step up?

>>46048913
Some people will undoubtedly die, who and how many is still up in the air

The army proper is actually notably stronger than in canon

Gaara is the most notably weaker than his canon self, while most characters are roughly even or marginally stronger. Tenten obviously being a prime example, but Kankuro and Kiba are really strong compared to canon too

>>46048955
How much will our lack of dei ex machinae hurt us? Because we might be stronger in conventional terms than canon, but we have a lot less ability to solve problems that only the protagonist being super special awesome can deal with. Which is a good thing from a narrative sense, a plot shouldn't be completely dependent on the main characters to get everything done. But it's worrying when dealing with a fanwork of a setting where so many problems were only solved that way. Makes me paranoid that this is going to be a Pyrrhic victory.

>>46049132
If everyone works hard enough, you guys will pull through

So what if you don't have a walking talking chakra battery

You just have to fight smarter, make better use of your resources

>>46049168
There are a lot more protagonist-class solutions we need than that. But if you say we can get past them I'll believe it. I'm just worried we're going to suffer much heavier casualties at some points.

>>46049168
So should we expect to loose half the named cast? Or is it not that bad?

>>46049344
Probably not
