Itachi pushes through the double doors, into a large room- filled with bunks, crates, and food, with a desk on the far end, covered in maps. A man sits at the desk, with similar armor as the others- although his armor has a horned helmet, and a fine blue sheen you recognize from somewhere…

You also see the mayor, bound and gagged, over to one side.

The man stands up, donning his helmet, and draws two blades, which immediately flicker awake with chakra.

“So, they finally sent someone after me? Near-sighted fools! Very well then, intruders, have at thee!”

You have no idea what he’s talking about.

However, as this is happening, a familiar sensation pricks the back your mind.

The feeling of your clone’s chakra returning….

Wargle a couple anons on Akuns useless ninja quest chat were calling your quest edgy for what happened last time. Any thoughts? Shitpost them to hell?

The memories play back in your mind-

The sound of heavy machinery roars in the distance- and the sound of heavy launcher fire. You look around to see a few corpses about- all enemies, thankfully. On the far side of the room, separated by a bridge, are 10 bandits, 9 of which wielding kunai launchers, keeping suppressing fire on your group. One of them is behind some sort of bunker, with a larger, floor mounted launcher of some kind- the source of all the noise.

It begins to become louder, firing off hundreds of shots, possibly through some sort of feeding mechanism you cannot see. Your group of five is pinned down- you volunteer to go back for either Itachi or Guy, and the others nod. Waiting for a lull within the fire, you bolt- only for the roar to come again. You try to outrun it, but cannot seem to manage. Your clone’s last thought is being pierced by several small launcher-sized kunai.

“The others are in trouble, sensei.” you report, fighting off the memory daze.

“Tch. Well, we cannot just leave this one untended. How bad is it?” he responds while eying the enemy leader.

“Bad enough that they are trapped if we don’t help them.” you utter.

You see him close his eyes and think….

You...

1. Volunteer to head back to get Guy, leaving Itachi and Lee to fight the Samurai.
2. Suggest Lee go get Guy, leaving you and Itachi to fight the Samurai.
3. Suggest Itachi go save the group, leaving you and Lee to fight the Samurai.

lol I really couldn't care less. If exactly one thread is enough for it to be edgy, crown me shadow the edgehog.

Naruto is at it's best when it deals with political intrigue and murder and assassination happen all the time in a world like this- at the end of the day, they are child soldiers being trained to be elite warriors.

At least, that's what I think. If you want straight shonen with no violence and the ability for everything to end in sunshine and rainbows, this quest probably isn't for you. I like to think I keep the darker moments contrasted with the lighter ones and humor.

Itachi send a clone of some kind to ask Guy to back up the others, it's fucking Itachi he'll be fine.

This is good actually, I mean there's no way itachi doesn't know some kind of clone jutsu.

Sounds like people want Itachi to send a clone of some kind to get guy- this is doable.

“Sensei, can you send one of your clones to get Guy?” you ask.

“Yes, although crow-clones, unlike shadow clones, don’t really have a mind of their own. I’ll need to have it guide him. It shouldn’t provide too much of a distraction…” he answers.

He quickly throws up the signs for what you assume is his crow clone technique- his shadow quickly elongates, and from it, a large black bird bursts forth.

The bird wastes no time, flying up the passageway, back towards the fork.

“If you little shinobi are done with your meeting, I suggest we get back to matters at hand.” the samurai’s raspy, somewhat tinny voice coming through his rebreather.

“You face Yojimbo! Former Kenin of the Land of Iron! You dishonorable shinobi will fall to my blades!”

He assumes a battle stance you aren’t familiar with- and you can tell Itachi is focused on guiding the clone, at least subconsciously.

You…
1. Wait for Itachi’s direction.
2. Spread out, to surround him!
3. Try to distract him with ranged weapons (Bow, Kunai, Launcher)
4. Use a Jutsu to get his attention! (Choose a technique!)

Don't work that way homie. Both the jutsu and launcher need two hands to operate.

Distraction no Jutsu!

Writing.

Seriously why are people voting 1? If Itachi wants us to do something he will say, right now he's steering a clone. Do the obvious and get to work not sit there like a fool and wait for sensei to order us around, use your fucking heads.

>>47902621
Then either do the hand signs first and quickly grab the launcher or have a shadow clone shoot the launcher.

You to distract this guy- just long enough for Itachi-sensei to guide Guy, anyway.

“Lee! Don’t engage until sensei says so! I’m going to stay at a distance and attack that way!” you yell, pulling out your bow.

“Right!” Lee responds, pulling out some kunai.

The three of you move as one unit, trying to stay at range. You try taking a few shots, and Lee throws a few kunai in conjunction- but Yojimbo simply deflects them with his blades.

“Cowardly shinobi! Too afraid to face me in close combat? This is why the Samurai is superior! Mifune and the others are fools!” Yojimbo yells, taunting you.

“Fine! Don’t think my skills are limited to personal combat! Sabre Technique! Flash!”

Yojimbo cuts the air in a broad x shape- firing large crescents of chakra at you!

>>47903062
If anything just put a note in the Pastebin or something that crits and crit fails aren't a thing and all is good.

>>47903062
I personally like 3d10 with a dc. If all three in one roll are over dc, it's a crit. if only 2 are over it's a pass. Only 1 of 3 over is a failure and the crit fail on noNE of the 3 are over. Still only take best of 3 or 5 or whatever. I know some people don't like it.

I've been trying to think of a way of working something like Fantasy flight's star wars thematic dice in. Best I can say is if 3 or or more first 5 rolls are in ascending order, there is some saving grace even if none pass the roll. Say the DC is 40 but we only roll 2, 14, 33 in a row. It would fail the check but something would happen to help in a later roll or give hints to a better way to go. I dunno, just saying shit.

The three of you dodge out of the way- with a large crash as the attack connects where you were once standing.

Itachi is next to you- Lee dodged the other way. As you land, Yojimbo is already chaining into his next attack.

“Sabre Technique: Rupture!” he shouts, following with a vertical slice. A single blade of chakra flies towards you, with you and Itachi dodging forward just in time.

“Rupture!”
“Rupture!”
“Rupture!”
“Rupture!”

He keeps firing them off in what almost seems like a dance. You have to keep moving to avoid them, making getting in attack difficult. In this distance, you can see Lee trying to ponder his next move, as his ranged attacks have proved ineffective.

Itachi is more than self sufficient, but you can see he’s still guiding the clone. He’s dodging these attacks with his eyes closed.

Blows are being rained down upon you from a distance. How should you proceed?

1. Just try to keep distracting him until Itachi-sensei is finished.
2. Try to attack him with a Technique (Dragon Bullet or Great Fireball)
3. Try a technique whilst Lee distracts him.
4. Have Lee engage. (Pick another option with this)
5. Use a Stellar Chakra technique (Which one?)
>Write-in

>>47903062
I'm quite partial to 3d6 with circumstantial bonuses and penalties. It means the rolls tend towards the average, and bonuses for good/poor conditions or for using a technique/tactic that we're particularly good at make a big difference. A +1 or +2 bonus in situations like that makes a way bigger difference than it would rolling a d100 or even a d20.

You decide to fire back with some techniques of your own.

You throw up the handsigns and begin to mold the chakra in your stomach…

“Fire Dragon Bullet!” you yell, and exhale the fire chakra towards the samurai as a continuous stream of flame.

Yojimbo, however, just laughs. The attack dissipates, his armor glowing brighter blue as you continue the stream of fire.

“Behold progress, Shinobi! This armor renders me immune to your pesky magics! Hahaha!” he gloats, even stopping his attack to do so.

[Norihime Genius!]

Chakra Armor. You doubt your father made it, but you don’t doubt that it’s probably a derivative of his designs….. And you know what their weakness is.

The cannot take large concentrated bursts of chakra- a high enough powered attack will overload the armor, and either destroy it outright, or render it vulnerable to conventional attacks.

You know Lee cannot do anything powerful enough to do so, but Itachi-sensei might.

There’s also your ace in the hole…. The Stellar Release.

You…

1. Tell Itachi-sensei we need him!
2. Use a stellar release technique.

He literally has to tell Minato and once that happens the cat is a bit out of the bag and besides when we do reveal it guess what all our missions are going to be dangerous as fuck because people are going to try to kidnap us for our release

>>47903905
Noooo.
1) We only use it when Danzo gives the go ahead, this is a ROOT toy.
2) >>47903938 what he said
3) Stellar burns through chakra like it does targets, we may need more chakra yet.

>>47903938
Combined elements are basically the least valuable bloodlines

>>47904010
Maybe some like Scorch or Magnetism but something this level with this power would be really valuable

>>47904000

>>47904020
Its... basically fire with some quirks. Especially from the perspective of someone who's not actually using it, they would have a hard time telling why you wouldn't be better off tossing more chakra into a fire release.

>>47904024
Sure we are. We're doing it right now.

While he gloats, you turn to Itachi-sensei.

“Sensei! I need you! I know how to beat him! His armor renders him immune to lower powered techniques, but a powerful technique should disable it- or destroy it entirely!” you say, shaking him awake.

His eyes snap open-

“I heard you! Hopefully Guy can make it the rest of the way without me…” he mutters, turning to look at the Samurai.

“Oho, the teacher wakes! Your students are to weak, shinobi! Come then! Let me show them how inferior shinobi are to the samurai!

“Sabre Art! Flash!” he shouts, firing off the same x-shaped projectile as before. You dodge out of the way with ease, given your speed, and how it was primarily aimed at Itachi-sensei.

You turn to look at him, only to notice he’s high above where the attack would’ve landed. His sharingan have activated….

“Mass Shadow Clone Jutsu!” Itachi shouts, making a series of hand signs.

The air above the samurai fills with Itachi-clones! As they fall towards the Samurai, you hear him laugh. “Mere clones aren’t enough! I’ll cut through them like paper!”

“Great Clone Explosion Technique.” Itachi says, this time at a much lower volume.

“Lee! Get down!” you yell from across the room.

As Yojimbo strikes the first clone, it detonates. It’s detonation triggers another, and another…

The chain explosions rock the room you’re in- although it’s hard to tell just how badly. The explosions ring throughout the chamber- it’s hard to see or hear anything…

As once they cease, and the dust clears, you see a few things. Itachi-sensei is slumped over, near where the major is. His outfit is charred, but it looks like the mayor is ok.

Lee gets up and shouts, covered in soot and ash. “Woooaaaah! That was insane! I’ve never seen anything like that!”

Good to know he’s ok.

Yojimbo is collapsed in the middle of the room- he’s severely burned, and his armor looks to have all but evaporated.

Well, no not kill them just completely burn through their big special technique and leave them completely outclassed in terms of fire power.

>2. Go make sure Yojimbo is taken care of.

>>47904165
>2. Go make sure Yojimbo is taken care of.
Take him out just to be sure.

>>47904177
Where not pulling our punches anon if someone dies from our jutsu they die, its handled in the rules

>>47904177
>Don't kill them.
Depends on how much of a dick/danger they are, Might not have a choice, Also pulling your punches leads to you or your team mates dying.

>>47904150
Why do all of our teachers fucking explode?

>>47904165
>2. Go make sure Yojimbo is taken care of.
Get his swords away from him, leave the choice to kill him up to Itachi.

>>47904203

I don't think Minato would accept us murdering someone in a contest.

>>47904193

It can still kill them.

>>47904207

Maybe in the Forest of Death, but that's it. Nowhere else.

Confirming the kill.

Writing.

>>47904225
You know what, I'm voting to kill someone in the exam now, Just because of you.

>>47904225
What is he gonna say to us anon

>You shouldn't have gone all out against your opponent like this was a real fight even though thats what we told you to do

“Lee! Check on Itachi-sensei! I’m going take a look at this guy…” you order, walking over to Yojimbo’s prone body.

You see Lee make haste over to where Itachi and the Mayor are.

Looking down, you get your first glimpse of what the man known as Yojimbo actually looked like; long grey hair and stubble on his face, partially burned off by the intensity of the attack. Bit and pieces of his armor lay strewn about, likely blown away during the explosions. His body is covered in severe burns- his arms almost entirely blackened.

“S-shinobi…” he sputters, his eyes staring blankly towards the ceiling.

“Mifune was right, after all. We’ll forever be at the whim of you damn shinobi… Normal people cannot hope to compete. Hah….”

His eyes focus on you, now looking down at him.

“I’ll be waiting for you all… in hell…. Shi.. no…..bi………”

His head falls to one side- his body, limp and immobile.

You’re no medical-nin, but he has to be dead.

“Tsuki-chan! Itachi is ok! He’s just-”

“I’m fine, Lee.” Itachi says, shaking free of Lee’s shoulder.

“Even for someone like me, using that technique is dangerous. I had to limit the number clones as not to burn through all of my chakra- and still have enough to detonate them.”

You…

1. Report that Yojimbo is dead.
2. Run and hug Itachi. You didn’t want to lose another Sensei.
3. Thank Lee for his help.
4. Check on the mayor.

We should smack Itachi (gently, not that Tsuki's strong enough to actually throw a decent punch) and call him out on worrying his students like that!

>>47904326
>1. Report that Yojimbo is dead.
Make a joke about how our teachers keep blowing up.

Votes over anons.

You run and hug Itachi. You didn’t really think about it, but…

He stiffens a bit, as either he was sore, or was just surprised.

Suddenly, you realize what you’re doing- you jump backwards, blushing a brighter red than Nori’s mother’s hair.

“S-sorry Sensei- I was just- I’m happy that-” you stumble over your words.

A finger pokes you square in the head- and stays there.

“Ow!” you mumble.

“Thank you, Tsuki. I didn’t mean to worry you like that. I’ll have to try harder from now on not to make you worry.” he says, a small smile on his face.

Damn him. Damn him!

“Hmph. I cannot lose two sensei, what would people say? They’d think we were cursed!” you huff.

“Oh, and the samurai is dead. Yojimbo, he said his name was.”

“Yojimbo. A samurai from the Land of Iron. New foes show themselves all the time, it seems…” he says, the smile gone.

Lee, meanwhile, unties the major.

She slowly rises, and dusts herself off.

“Well that was quite the show- but I’m glad everyone’s alright. If it’s alright with you Leaf shinobi, these old bones are quite tired… is there anything else you need to do?”

“We need to check on the others- hopefully Guy was able to take care of it” Itachi says in a serious tone.

As you’re leaving, you take a look around. The weapons of the other Samurai are still outside the door. Do you take them?

1. Yes
2. No

It's not really murder-hobo-ing if it's our mission.

Looting~

You take a few moments to free the scabbards from the armor, and take the two blades. Might be useful, and you know they conduct chakra.

The party heads back to the fork, where you run into Guy, accompanied by the rest of the team. They all look a little worse for wear- tears in the uniform, cuts in several places. You can tell Nori took a particularly nasty shot to the shoulder, although it seems to be bandaged for now.

As both parties meet, a wave of relief seems to wash over everyone.

“Shame of you to disappear on me like that, Itachi. Took me longer to figure out where I was needed! Turned out alright, in the end, though! Haha!” Guy says, throwing up his trademark smile.

Sasuke and Sakura just sigh and shake their heads. Looking closely, you can see the Guy took his fair share of shots as well, he’s just not letting them affect him- or putting up a front.

The entire group heads back outside to the entrance, and are greeted by a few more bodies than before.

“A patrol was returning- not many, and they really wanted a fight!” Guy says exuberantly.

A short while later, you all take your seats in the mayor’s home- relatively bare, as it was just sacked, but enough remains to rest in, for the time being.

Itachi and Guy are discussing things with the Mayor, so you just take a moment to relax. The mission is over- and maybe you’ll get to stay in those hot springs on the way back, like was promised. That would be nice….

Alrighty boys, I'll be ending it here for tonight. Work in the morning and gym in the evening call me to my bed.

@WargleQM for edgy diatribe

I'll make an announcement later in the week when the next thread will be. Assumption is the weekend, but I may feel a bit frisky.

POST THREAD BEGINS NOW!

>>47904734
For dice just keep the d100 without crits.

>>47904734
Thanks for running and goodnight

>>47904741
Also what does everyone think of Tsuki always bringing something home from a mission?

>>47904734
d20 with crits losing builds character

Also lets melt down the swords and use the metal to make something else

>>47904752
Nori will probably make a quip about it at some point, that you're starting a trophy room in your mansion, or some such thing.

>>47904754
>d20 with crits
Disgusting.

>>47904734

Thanks for running!

>>47904752

I like that.

Though I don't want her to end up in a Grey Gardens type situation

>>47904754

We can lose without crits.

>>47904754
Sounds lame.

>>47904734
Keep d100 with no crits.

>>47904768
Thanks for the run Wargle.
