Hi Red! No twitter post? I guess I got lucky and actually caught your thread on time.

>You are now Asa Norihime, Kumogakure's Blue Kunoichi
>You met a strange man, an alleged monk, in the city following completion of an assignment.
>Following his group of companions, you stumbled and watched as they happened upon the seen of the gruesome Kikyo Pass. You stayed and decided to help the monk, Amon, when he was attacked by the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist.
>He was holding his own, when all the sudden he demonstrated a power beyond your imagining and went berserk, injuring the Seven Swordsmen as well as yourself.
>This is where we begin today's story

Curls of smoke crackle about in the clearing as the fire burns in the early morning air. You cough roughly as it reaches your sore throat. Ugh, you figured you have at least a few hours more of rest....

You pass a look at the monk lying next to you in a pile of linens. Dragging him out of the pass after ripping those beads off was hard, but hastily setting up shelter while supporting him hurt your already-throbbing body.

He looks disheveled in his sleep. He murmurs something about "Gates" before he idlely runs a hand through his short-growing buzz and snores.
You sigh and pull the blankets over him a bit tighter. You saw the bodies of the other monks at Kikyo.

Not to mention the wounds along Amon's entire body: broken bones, fresh red skin, and not to mention the broken foot. Surprisingly though, you haven't had to deal much with pain or anything otherwise. He's a tough one.

Well, no time to waste...
You jump into the branches of the nearby tree and eye the scene of the descending mountain forest before you. You see a prick in the distance that you recognize from your map as the Fire Temple

You...

"Ninja Art: Summoning Jutsu" You call, biting your thumb.
The branch is engulfed in a small cloud of smoke as you slam your hand down. Your throat burns from the constant irritantion, you begin to cough and hear a concerned, deep voice grumble from in front of you.

"My my, that's rather rough shape you're in Asa-sama," a small white rabbit is standing on his haunches in front of you, concerned. It rubs it's nose on your hand, "Got any food?"

You sigh and throw a small bundle of alfalfa to the rabbit, who leaps high into the air with a cry of joy.

"The usual, usagi," you dismiss the white bunny as he gives a salute. He dives off the branch to the ground below and in a spray of dirt disappears into a rabbit-sized hole.

You crack open Amon's pack. For a guy maybe a few years younger then you at most...he sure has the tastes of an old man. His pack is full of books, a lot of dust, some paper and ink, and the small leather bag you put the broken beads in. Not to mention the golden staff he carries around. Isn't he too old for a walking stick?

You empty out the contents of the pouch into your hand, the remnants of the beads tumbling out onto your palm. The few bits of crushed glass and shredded ribbons of cloth that had once been the beautiful beads look pitiful in your hands. When you'd ripped the beads off Amon, they had shattered and he'd collapsed. You wonder what drove him to the point of the bersek, inhuman rage you'd watched earlier.

You eye the monk once more, a little longer this time, but quickly look away when he stirs slightly.
You look through the bag again and find a small stack of papers strung together by a small, handmade spine. Cracking it open, it is covered in rows of looping, precise handwriting.

Is this a...diary?

You grin mischeviously as you flip through the pages of the book, its pages and the secrets they might containt too sweet to pass up. You stop at an entry marked for a date about a week ago and curl up against the tree to read.

I try to catch my breath when I get the chance, maybe accept that this is really happening, but it seems every passing moment makes my life seem a little more surreal.
It's all gone.
Will everything be okay again?

My mind is poisoned with thoughts of my home, reduced to rubble, and my family, cold in the wilderness.
Yoru is strong-willed, but I can tell he wanders without a set direction- so to say. His flights of fantasy leave him blind to details sometimes amd his ambition seems endless.

You know, this may just end up like one of those great epic fantasies I read about. I'll acquire some kind of wisdom of my own, maybe even rebuilt the Temple with the other monks, and even find a treasure to deliver back to Myatsuu and Tai!

I hope they're okay.


You note Kikyo Pass and the bodies strewn about there. As you solemnly put the journal back, a single, crumpled, torn note falls out of it. As you start to read it, you realize it is from a teacher of his- probably from the Temple. You gingerly stick it back between the pages of the journal and put both away.

For a minute, you look down at the sleeping monk, his eyes sunken slightly and bruised. He shivers a bit in his dreams from the base of the tree.
Going in to face the Seven Swordsmen alone, with so much to lose....

You hop down the tree and put another blanket on Amon, before lying next to him on the makeshift blanket pile.
.....Idiot.

The ground furrows around the tree and a small, white head pops out- interrupting the scene with only a yelp from you.

"Asa-sama, reconnoissance has been completed."
"There are three groups spotted in the forest."

>"A small batch of Kirigakure nin who may have been left behind following the battle at Kikyo and the retreat of the Seven Swordsman."
>" A stranger wielding a sword and traveling with a two young companions."

"Follow the ones with the swordsman," you call out your orders to the saluting rabbit. "I'll be right behind you, just give me a minute before you give the signal."

You turn back to the unconscious monk as the rabbit dutifully fulfills his orders.
You run your thumb along the side of his jaw. It may be worth to keep him around, as long as he isn't just a crazy monk who can't control his temper.
It's been a while since you'd traveled with anyone else.
That is, since you defected from Kumogakure.

The bow sits playfully alongside the tree. You grab it and your quiver as you jump into the trees and through the foilage, following the upturned dirt trail left by your rabbit.

It ends alongside a trail leading down from Kikyo Pass, a group of three strange travelers waiting alongside a fork in the road.

"Three Targets, along the road," whispers the rabbit's voice in your ear. You'd become familiar with their bags of tricks ages ago, so the genjutsu hasn't surprised you for a while.
"Two are carrying what look to be merchandise, the girl looks to be a Konoha nin."

It seems like the girl is discussing heatedly with the man with long, raven hair and a sword. The group shifts and you can see a scruffy face you remember.
That was the man traveling with Amon.
Well now,

You
>Take aim at one of the targets (who)

You lower the bow and prepared arrow for now. You haven't made up mind on the monk's companions just yet.
You swing quietly through the branches to get closer to the group and order the rabbit to do the same underground. You stop, pressed against the bark of the trees above them and listen...

***************************************************
"...I told you, we're NOT leaving Amon behind!" The girl, Rin, bullies the older swordsman next to her.

"Shessh, look I can just leave you here in the woods alone if you're going to yell at me like that," the swordsman, Hoki, says lazily.

"No, no that will hardly be necessary, Sanjuro." Yoru call from the fork in the road, "She's understandably upset still, is all. Anyways, if you turned around now my past few minutes would be in vain!" Yoru gives a forced laugh and gestures to the route on his right.
"This way to the Capital and Konoha. Left cuts through the entire midland. No need to go to the Fire Temple now, I suppose."

"You can't seriously be already done with what happened? With Amon!? He could still be out there!" Rin yells at Yoru in disbelief.

Yoru shrugs and shakes his head, giving Rin a cold stare back.

"He's dead, Rin. There's no way someone could live through something like that. Unfortunate, but it was better him than us."

Rin shakes her head, eyes watering. "How could you be so heartless? We don't know where they took him, but maybe the Swordsmen haven't-"

Sanjuro Hoki places a hand on her shoulder, but she shrugs it off. "He was important to us. He was important to you, too!."

"Don't be a fool, Rin. As much as I liked Amon, neither you nor I can revive the dead. We need to move on."

Rin sobs openly and Yoru continues to look on at the path ahead, determined.
"C...can we at least go to the Fire Temple, together? It is what he would have wanted."

Sanjuro begins to protest against the terms, but Yoru stops him and nods his head.

"You're right. He at least deserves that honor."

With that, Yoru starts down the path with a dispirited Hoki. Rin stops to wipe her tears before she crouches down to the ground and buries a small flower in the dirt. She sniffles and then shuffles along to follow the others.

You note the man's pack sagged from the weight of whatever his cargo is.
Mostly likely metal, most likely weapons.

You sigh as you think about the monk resting back at the small camp. He's certainly not going to enjoy having one less friend around.
You notch your bow and take aim at the weapons smuggler.
You take a deep breath....

Light burns into your eyes as you squint awake from under a mound of linen blankets.

You try to jump to your feet, but find your body feels like crumpled leaves.
You try to shake the last memory of a choking Asa out of your head.

No response from the woods around you.

The blankets shed off you as easily as snakeskin as you rise, but it's the "getting-up" part that sucks.
You've probably heard less creaking from old, wooden sheds in the first place. The number of pops coming from your body passed just "worrysome" the minute you'd started, but you manage the feat.

You take a few, squeaky steps over to your pack by the tree and look around it.
Your journal sits messily on top of the lump of stuff.
You tuck it underneath- wouldn't want anyone reading it.

You pull the leather pouch from the clutter eye the new item for a bit before dumping its contents in your hand.
Slivers of glass and ribbons of red cloth are all that falls out.
The Red Beads.

You take the moment to play with the lifeless, clear material. The ribbons of red fabric have symbols traced along the entirety of their body before the shredded ends.
Were these sealing something? If so...where did it go?

Regardless, using the golden weight of the Wen Qu you pull yourself up and over to what looks like a small package of food next to you. In it you see a soldier pill alongside some rice and other rations. You ignore the bit of fresh meat included, but you graciously accept the meal left. You sit to meditate in thanks for the bounty...

"Up, are we?"

Her neck has an angry, thick bruise across its width in the shape of a hand.
The dark skin is swollen and puffy around an eye.
Her lip is slight beaten and her voice is rough.

Even now, she has a sad, distrustful beauty to her.
You can see the hesitation in her eyes as she stands a good arms-length apart from you, bow in hand.

"I'm sorry," You lower your head in shame.
"I am truly sorry, Asa. I...may not remember much, but I remember that I am the one responsible for....for that."

"It's fine," she says coldly.

"No! You paid the price for my moment of weakness. It is because I lost control to whatever was in those beads so that I could get revenge. I was a fool."
"Because I was a fool, you got...I.."

A soft hand rests itself on your cheek.
"Shhh, Amon. I saw it all, I understand."

You reach to her throat and she shirks away from your touch, at first. After a moment, she obliges though. You can feel her voice humming through your fingertips.
"You drove the Seven Swordsmen off alone, Amon."

"It wasn't worth the cost."

"I saw what was at Kikyo too, Amon. Nothing would be worth the cost you paid. Your family..."

"No, I was wrong. They wouldn't have wanted what I did, I put their memory to shame."

Asa's hands are on your chest, she's looking at you face-to-face with your hand still around the side of her neck.
"Look at me," She points to her bruises. "This is what happens when you don't have faith in your own convictions. This is what happens when you don't rely on your own strength."

You stare intently and share a gaze for a little bit, before she finally blinks and breaks it off.
"Let's find strength in each other, Amon. I know you'd have more than enough to spare for someone like me."

You stare intently and share a gaze for a little bit, before she finally blinks and breaks it off.
"Let's find strength in each other, Amon. I know you have more than enough to spare for someone like me."

Asa idlely puts down her bow and sits on the ground next to your pack and blankets. She motions you over, "You're not nearly done recovering yet!"
"You still need to rest off those nasty br-"

She looks at you standing for a moment, empty-eyed. "...How are you standing right now? Isn't your foot broken?"

Hunh? You look down and shake your foot. "Nope, just fine."

A quick look of confusion passes on her face. She lies down next to the blankets and grabs the fish-design scroll out of your bag, peeling it open.
"Too many unexplained things for my liking," she huffs. "Might as well rest a bit here until it's fully daylight out. Cmon, you rest I'll read."

Asa starts to read the contents of the scroll, her eyebrow slowly raises.

"Amon... why are you reading a summoning contract?"

Good question,
Her background is similar to yours, actually. She empathizes quite a bit with you.

That said, she's not necessarily close to you. She admittedly thinks you're damaged from the experience at Kikyo Pass, but mainly wants to make sure that you don't go off the deep end for the moment.

It was an intimate moment and she's just a well-meaning, motherly woman at heart.
Also, she's resourceful and may need protection. The dude who fought off the Seven Swordsmen is around, so

But I want fish! Does that include other sea life?

>>714801
Can't beat Darkmoon Blade swag.

It's not like it matters since armor and thus damage absorption is next to useless. They both add the same amount of attack, just different kinds.

And I kinda like fish too. It might be hard to use since we're not Kisame and have near limitless amounts of chakra to make water. We could use seals of some kind though.

>>714805
Basically it's just fish with whales at the top of their summon list.

Sharks are another summon altogether, as is octopus, etc

>>714892
What's Amons chakra nature?

Oh, yeah!
It would be rad if Amon could summon sharks and octopi/squid as well. I would be happy with fish and whales.

Water sucks. Least interesting chakra nature for sure. We use more seals than anything else though so it's not a big deal.

>>714978
Like I said I'm fine with water and like fish summons (since that's never really been done in Naruto before) but I can't resist gambling on this since we might get something awesome.

Also I don't think you need your natural element to match up with summons. I'm not 100% on that though.

>>715019
Your natural element doesn't need to.

>>714985
Seals are the game breaker, as they can eventually alter the elements of chakra and/or break it down. Your nature will only matter with initial techniques, early on with your summons, and with kekkei genkai, really.

Imagine having a scroll that can absorb fire jutsu, but you can store anything it catches for later and alter it into a water technique. Or you could absorb chakra outright from someone to power a jutsu of your own.

The greatest sealing sages mastered the elements and chakra at a fundamental level. This was to the point that they could mould chakra into elements inside another persons body or hamper their attempts to do so.

>>716342
Oh that's epic. Messing up someone's chakra as they try to use it could be so effective. Especially if they try to use a fire technique, since we might be able to make the chakra go off in their stomach like a bomb instead of turning into fire.

I'm up for a spontaneous thread, but I wouldn't be able to post frequently I'm at work

A summoning contract?
You haven't seen one before. But, you remember Myatsuu used to tell you stories of the great beasts that lived in the world. Maybe Asa could tell you more about this? You have been out of touch with a lot of things.

Asa continues to inspect the contract, "this thing looks pretty worn out. Wh- ugh!"
She drops the scroll exasperated, her hands wet and chest wet. Looks like there was some water in the scroll.

You pick it up from the blankets and see it is somewhat...wet on the inside, as if someone spilled water on it. Faded on a corner of a page is a single, nearly washed-away signature.

A summoning contract?
You haven't seen one before. But, you remember Myatsuu used to tell you stories of the great beasts that lived in the world. Maybe Asa could tell you more about this? You have been out of touch with a lot of things.

The recent events have left you a little overwhelmed, too much so for your still-hazy thoughts to handle. Asa is comforting enough, though you feel as though you should be taking care of her and not the other way around...

She cares though, for whatever reason. It seems like everything was starting to fall apart.
Asa was there when you needed someone.
Wait...

You call out to Asa, walking back into the treeline. "Asa! Have you seen any friends? One is a girl, shoulder length brown hair. She has a Konoha headb-"

Asa seemingly doesn't hear what you say and disappears through the trees.
Well, you'll just have to ask when she returns then.

You groggily remember Rin's headband. She still needs that, you'll have to find them as soon as possible. They're probably worried sick about you.

Passing the thoughts from your head, you turn your attention back to the scroll. You roll through the initial section, on which there looks to be a compact string of seals, and check the largest, nearly blank section.

The signature, accompanied by what looks like what's left of a hand print of dried blood, seems to be almost washed away by both time and moisture. It almost looks like someone hit the scroll with a wet object. The thought of someone slapping the scroll with a wet fish briefly crosses your mind.

Well, despite that there seems to be some writing along the bottom, though it is barely legible as is.
"Winged King of the Seas, Yu-Kiang"

On closer inspection, the blank pages have a light, scaled pattern to them.

You feel a jolt of pain up your side as you reach into your pack for your brush.
Asa did think you had some broken bones. You guess you may have healed by some power of the beads though.

You sign your name in the space on the contract, carefully avoiding the larger wet spots so as to not let the ink bleed.

Your name, ink still wet and glistening, shines back from the scroll. Your signature is a bit messier than you'd like, but you expected that anyway. You look at the signature next to yours.

Right, the handprint!

You bite a finger and coat your palm in the trickle of blood. The scroll feels particularly slimy as you gingerly stick your hand onto it, afraid to breakthe soaked paper.

Done! Your name looks quite nice on that, actually.
You adjust the scroll back to the seal as you bandage your finger. Time to figure you out....

Summoning Contract (159/400)
[Threshold Met! (100/400)]
[Technique learned: Uzumaki Sealing Method
Seal physical objects into scrolls as a form of storage. The process to unseal is simple enough to be done immediately.]

...You could use a little bit more time with this one.
The seal has some patterns you haven't read before. The structure implies some sort of transposition and binding of matter...which is entirely new to you. You copy down a heavily simplified version of the seal and study that for a bit.

The theory you manage to come up with is it would seem that, alone, this seal acts to store physical objects inside of it. You could probably keep most of your items in a scroll for storage, if you'd wanted to. You wonder if this could be modified to store something less solid, like a jutsu?

Seems like it could be useful.

For now, you understand the accompanying seals on the contract seem to change the properties of this one. You'll have to figure it out a little later while you think this over. Maybe Asa would help you...

You figure you'll go ask her in a little bit, but she did seem upset herself a little earlier.
...you'll give her a bit longer to cool off and be alone, she deserves that at the least for how much she's helped you- for having the strength to forgive you.

The thought of her hand brushing across the side of your face suddenly makes you a little lightheaded.

The fish scroll was a pleasant surprise, so....

You peel open the neaby scroll covered in an intricate web of designs.

You've got to be kidding me. Is this just angry hatemail?
You continue to read through the long scroll and note that the narrative changes almost randomly to other topics, with no rhyme or reason. It's actually quite confusing and there seems to be continual, deliberate mispronunciation and misspellings throughout.
You get the feeling there is more to this scroll than meets the eye, but for now it only serves to befuddle you.

Myatsuu's Broken Book [356/500]
[Threshold Met! (350/500)]
[Technique Learned: Earthen Seal: Hear-No-Evil Technique
[This seal is applied similarly to the See-No-Evil Technique. Multiple tags can be painted with this seal. When stuck to multiple individuals, the connection between the seals allows a sort of rudimentary telepathic communication through chakra. Capable of long distance, but the seal is easily disrupted or removed. Ineffective when painted on, strangely enough.]

You read your late master's text, your eyes pourover the scratches of ink all around the damaged center while you transcribe the notes into the back of your journal.
It seems Myatsuu had continued to build on the premises of the previous techniques. This one, the Hear-No-Evil seal, seems to allow nonverbal communication. You make a note to stick one on Rin and Yoru next chance you get, maybe Asa too.

You're not trying to lose everyone, after all.

Speaking of which, you'd been meaning to ask Asa a few questions. The sky is painted in colors of yellow and blue, it's around noon. She should be fine by now.
Leaning on the Wen Qu, you stumble to your feet and shuffle into the woods.

It isn't long before you stumble along a path of upturned dirt. Following it uphill for a bit, your ears meet the sound of crashing waters.
You shuffle ahead through the bushes and find a waterfall along the side of the rock face of the small mountain. The crashing waters have collected in a somewhat large, clear pool.
Bathing in it, oblivious to your arrival, is a...

...oh...she's...not wearing any clothes.
You feel blood rushing to your face and jump behind a nearby tree. That was...well then.

You don't think Asa would take too kindly to you walking in on her. You hear her talking about something, probably to her rabbit.

You...

You swear, if it wasn't for your morals...
You put on your best act and call out into the woods around you "Asa? Are you there? Is that a waterfall?!"
From behind the tree you hear rapid splashes and the sound of rustling clothing. Well, good thing you found her and not someone more nefarious.

After a minute or two, you stroll out from behind the tree one hobbling step at a time to Asa, damp and sitting on a flatter rock near the pool.

She gives you a look over as she wrings out water from her messy cerulean hair. "You look in better shape already- only after a few hours too. I'm starting to wonder what exactly they make you monks out of. How do you feel?"

"Like a wet piece of paper, honestly." Asa's rabbit bounces over to you and starts to nibble on your pants.
He's pretty cute actually. You rub the rabbit under his chin only for it to raise a little paw and smack your hand away.

It horrifies you as it then speaks with an ungodly deep voice, "Permission to pet denied, human."

Asa sighs and picks up the bunny, who responds with a burble as she cuddles it. She looks at you apologetically, "Usagi doesn't like strangers, sorry."

"Was there something you wanted to ask me?"

You sit down across from Asa. "I just wanted to thank you for taking me in like this, doing everything you have for me. I'm just wondering...why? Why are you treating me like this?"

Asa gives small smile and looks away towards the reflective pool. For a few moments, the only sound is the contented noises of the bunny as she pets it. "You...reminded me of someone from a long time ago, is all. I couldn't have left you to die there. We both like to follow our conscience, is all."

You remind Asa of someone? You don't think you've ever met anyone that would know her, let alone look like you.
"I...remind you of someone? Who?"

She nods, "Yes, Amon. As crazy as it may sound...you remind me of my sister. Maybe even a little bit of myself too, if I was honest."

So, she has a sister.
"She can't be too bad then. Will we be meeting up with her sometime? She can come with Yoru, Rin, and I!"

Asa shakes her head, "No...I don't think she would want to even if she could, Amon. She's dead, after all."

The waterfall breaks upon the rocks below as you process what you were just told. She doesn't look at you and continues to play with the bunny in her lap.
As the sound of rushing waters continues to fill your ears, you remember a similar sound...

...The mountain stream at Kikyo Pass, stained red with the blood of your monk brothers.
They're gone, all dead.
Like Asa's sister.

Asa looks up, her eyes drier than yours. "I like to think she's in a better place though. It's probably more peaceful for her wherever she is. Anything is better than fighting in the wars as another ninja."

Rin and Yoru have probably left.
You're all alone.
All that is left of the life you knew is gone, forever.

"Y-Yes, A-all life is connected..." You manage to choke out. You feel a tear run down your cheek. "It flows like water. Death is...death..."
You can't finish as the lump in your throat swells. As you start to apologize and get up to leave, you feel arms around you in a hug.

"Shhh, it's okay. You've lost a lot, I understand. You're not alone in this, you have me," Asa whispers soothingly in your ear.
You feel ashamed as another tear drips down your cheek. You feel ashamed for being consumed yet again by your emotions. You feel ashamed expressing your weakness in front of this girl, who you had hurt in the first place.

But you don't break her hold.
Neither does she.
For a few moments, you sit in quiet as the throbbing in your chest slowly relaxes. After a little while longer, you stand from her gentle embrace.
"Thank you, Asa"

She smiles at you with a nod. Usagi nuzzles against your leg- probably as his own way of comforting you.

"I need to know, Asa. Where are my friends?"
"That way," Asa points towards the Northeastern Horizon. "Towards the Fire Temple as of early this morning. They were travelling alongside a swordsman with long, black hair- quite well kept I might add. You were still injured and resting, so I wanted to wait before telling you."

Hunh, seems like she's already on top of things. Why was Hoki travelling with Yoru and Rin? Maybe they just needed extra protection once you disappeared.

Asa plucks her bowstring and inspects several of the crevices in the bow. She's a kunoichi, so maybe she could help you train?
You suggest this briefly to her. After a bit of consideration, she agrees. Though she's not sure how much she can help someone with your speciality.

You strip from your shirt, leaving yourself in just your baggy cloth pants in preparation to training. Asa looks you up and down- an odd look on her face- before she points over to the waterfall and tells you to stand under it.

She calls out something to the rabbit, Usagi, and you see it nod. Abruptly, Usagi explodes in size with a puff of smoke- now nearly a head taller than you.
That's a big rabbit.

With a squeak uncharacteristic to its size, it rams repeatedly into a tree until it falls with a resounding crash. It crushes the two ends and the branches off and picks up the ragged segment of log that is left.

Walking up to the waterfall, it holds it out for you impatiently. They don't actually expect you to...
"You need to put it over his shoulders, Usagi. We're not your size, remember?" Asa calls.

Oh man they were serious. This is how you die, getting crushed with a tree by a giant, fluffy, white bunny.
At least you- UMPF.

Usagi- not so carefully- plops the log onto your back and walks away nochalantly. The roaring waters overhead push down onto the log with even greater force, making the weight nearly unbearable.
"Now, mister mighty monk..."
Asa gives a dirty grin. "...squat."

You cannot feel your legs.
You cannot believe you managed to even survive that. Training like that would leave even Tai walking with a limp.
This woman is unbelievable.

"Decent job, I'd expected you to quit after the first time you fell over. The fact you finished all 12 sets is pretty impressive, I'd say! Points to whoever trained you physically." She teases you, still soaking wet from the experience.

"Thanks, Tai would probably appreciate that"

Asa motions you closer as she goes over the basics of the Summoning Jutsu. Apparently, the contract is the hardest part of the technique. Well, that and the raw chakra needed to summon anything. She looks at you as if you were crazy when you start talking about how you're reverse engineering the summoning contract seal.

"That's...wow, I guess you are good at sealing. That would be more than any normal person- even a ninja- would be capable of creating. You need to have another creature sign the contract though for it to work though...though you probably understand it better than me now."

She clasps her hands together in a seal for a moment and Usagi disappears in a puff of white smoke. "Now, let me show you how this works."
She bites her thumb and forms a few basic hand seals. She slams her hand on the ground in front of her, "Ninja Art: Summoning Jutsu!"
Usagi is back with a poof, standing upright and at attention.

"Now you try, Amon!"

You nod to her and go towards the waterfall pool. If you're going to summon fish, it might as well be near water, right?
Though...you're worried this small amount of water won't be enough for the "Winged King of the Seas, Yu-Kiang" you read earlier...

Gulp.

"N-Ninja Art: Summoning Technique!" You cry as you slam your palm into the poolside mud. A puff of white smoke covers your sight, but as it clears you see...

A lone golden fish, floating in the waters by the shore. It opens its mouth and a bubble bloops out. It looks around at the waters surrounding it before it cocks its head at you, expectantly.

Seems oddly intelligent...

Usagi pokes his head around your leg, curious himself what you summoned.

You...

Let's not call it "fish-chan"

>>719690
Show fish scroll
Give it food

>>719695
Supported except change it to sama. Show some fucking respect

>>719690
I'll support this>>719697

I just realized I've been calling Amon Amos for like half the thread.

I blame Wong.

Like Wong as in the qm?

>>719721
Yep. I don't know how it's his fault, but it is. Somehow. I know it.

>>719713
It's ok if you wanna wrap up soon. I'm sure you don't wanna go till 5 again. Better to not get burnt out of qming

>>719713
Also, Lady, how much longer are you planning on running? I can feel myself starting to crash.

You think for a minute, maintaining the staring contest with the golden fish. How do you say hello in fish? You think you may have an idea...
You poke Usagi below your knees and whisper into his floppy ear. He hops off to your pack, rummages around, and hops back with the remnants of your meal from before.

Thanking the small rabbit, you take out a small amount of meat and rice and look back to the fish, still floating in the pool.

"Hello, fish-sama. It's an honor to meet you. Do you want some food?" You hold out the treat over the pond so it catches the fish's eye.
It let's out a few more bloops in surprise and swims up to the surface, poking its head out of the water...
...and continues on, swimming out of the pool and into midair. Its body still undulates as if swimming through water as it floats up to your hand and catches the food into its open mouth with a single bite- completely oblivious to the shock on everyone's faces around it.

It looks up to you when it finishes, smiling. "How well mannered you are, Land Dweller-kun! This one would not have expected such respect from a stranger. Even thinking to put her in water, how polite!"

The fish "swims" around your head smoothly, as she continues to speak in a velvet, feminine voice. "She wonders how the young land-walker brought her here, but for such a welcome she can only blush!"

She floats by your face, fins fluttering, "This one's name is Kichijōten, but as a reward the Land-kun may call her Goldie!"

That's all for today, I'll probably run tomorrow or later this week. Got homework first.

>>719754
Thank you for running.

>>719754
Being able to summon entire hoards of these guys would be pretty fucking dope for a final attack. Let's save that for if/when we become a sage

>>719754
Pretty dope. Thanks for running Lady. I'm off to bed now, it's nearly 4am.

>>719754
Nice we can call it Goldie. Thanks for running Red

>>719761
There are certainly hordes of fish for you to summon.

Just remember, there's always a bigger fish...
Unless you summon the biggest fish.

>>719765
Nah see that's the problem. Everyone is always trying to summon the biggest dudes. But remember what our master taught us, red lady...

>>719765
Leviathan?
Besides that, let's work our way up the ladder.

Dope as hell, getting summons early will allow us to get to know them better. Crashing now.

basically

>>719779
But seriously what exactly did our master say? Something about all the drops in the ocean working together to make it work or something. Anyway you got the point, a mass of fish fighting another giant summon looks so dope in my head. Like just imagine them flying through the air with Amon controlling them like a water bender would

>>719784
H-he's beautiful!

>>719781
Thanks for participating!

If frogs and demon foxes are practically the size of small mountains...imagine a whale.

Dude is big enough to practically terraform by moving. Amon's got way too little chakra to summon the beast though, it'd probably kill him if he tried now.

>>719795
Of course! It would be suicide to summon him.

It'd take a bit more than that to burn Red out of Qm-ing. I'm in Ninja Monk Quest until its inevitable conclusion

How does that fish fly, anyway?

The thought keeps crossing your head as you travel down the cluttered forest path; Goldie has seemed content to simply flow back and forth in midair around both you and Asa for the past few hours. While Goldie did seem cute at first, her constant upbeat demeanor is starting to agitate you.

"Just dismiss her, she won't even realize it," Asa had whispered to you. You couldn't do that to her though, she hasn't really done anything wrong. In fact, she's been nothing but delightful the entire time...just a bit too delightful. You don't want to be mean to your first summon...

Finally, you think you've come up with a solution to pin down the fish.

"Goldie"

The golden fish twists in the air to face you, "You've called for her, Amon-kun?"

>Stay by my side for a moment. Tell me about where you are from.
>I was thinking you could scout ahead. What are your abilities, by the way?
>Are there any other fish you know that can fly? Would you be able to fly us to where you need to go?
>We want you on high alert, there may be enemies around! Quick, follow us where we can't see you so their spies can't either!
>Write in

What they can actually do is pretty much the most important part of a summon after all.

Stay by my side for a moment, Goldie. Tell me about where you are from.

Goldie drops by to your side. "Oh, this one would love that! But where should she start..."
Asa gives you a look, "How about where you are from?"

Goldie does a small twirl with a giggle. "Oh of course! She comes from the Southern Seas, near what Amon-kun would call the Land of Oceans. The shrine of the Sea Sages is down there also on a small island!"

The Sea Sages? You look at Goldie quizzically, but have to end up asking for her to notice.

"Oh, the great Sea Sages? Amon-kun, don't tell me you didn't know?" You think the fish pouts in her own fishy way, as she continues, "The Sea Sages have circled each other since the beginning of time itself! This one believes they are more than just fish. It is said they granted visions and great power to the last Land-Dweller to visit them, but Goldie wasn't around then."

So fish have their own sages? You wonder how in the world you could get there, though. Not only that, what kind of power could they have?

"She misses the waters back home dearly, Amon-kun. The waters feel so warm on her scales!"

>Ask Goldie about the powers of fish summons
>Ask about the name you read earlier, Yu-Kiang
>How many of you are there? Is there some sort of Fish Kingdom?
>Ask more about the Sea Sages and their shrine
>Talk to Asa instead, she seems restless
>Write in
