This is Boruto Quest, a quest set in the universe of Naruto. It is during the generation of Naruto's son after everyone has graduated from their Genin exam. I haven't kept up with the series beyond the end of the original one, so this one is intended to recapture the feel of that time of Naruto. I will not be incorporating the main show or the Boruto movie's plot into the quest, although some recognizable characters will be present. You play as a 12 year old Chunin named Takeshi. You have been assigned a Jounin squad leader named Hanto, and your two squadmates are Kichiro, a young delinquent, and Ai, a strange social outcast of a girl. You are of average skill in most aspects, although your sharp intelligence, and your jack of trades skill set have brought you far. You have just recently graduated to a Chunin after winning the final tournament. You've been regularly completing missions as a Chunin, and making progress in training. Currently, you've returning to the mission at hand only to find that your squad has been separated by unseen forces.

Unfortunately, you quickly lose sight of her in the trees. The unnatural way she moves reminds you of some sort of weird horror film about ancestors who can't let go of their issues. Shinji has ran over to you. You notice several needles sticking out of him. "Are you poisoned too?" you say.

Already you can feel the generic, but effective toxin spreading through you. It hadn't occurred to you, but the way your heart is beating in a stressful situation like this makes it feel like it's going even faster. In order to practice the poison removal technique, you had sometimes exposed yourself to limited dosage. But this is completely different. You imagine you've got about five minutes before it really begins to sap your strength.

He shakes his head. "The insects inside of me can act as an anti-toxin. I've selectively bred them to be resistant to the most common type."

He adjusts his glasses, and you get the feeling he's managed to scrape by through this preparation. Both you and Shinji are of a tactical bend, so you can't help but feel a bit of respect for him. "That's awesome..I've lost sight of her now, but it seems like I've freed you from sort of barrier, right?"

Shinji nods in agreement. "Correct. She leads her prey into a zone marked by sealing tags she placed in advance, and then she wears them down with ranged poison and unusual taijutsu. Due to my bugs stopping the poison and her short ranged attacks, we've been at a standstill. But all that's changed now."

The Leaf genin wipes his blond hair back. "I didn't want to burn through my chakra and leave myself vulnerable. But if you'd be willing to take her on afterwards, I could smoke her out of the trees right now."

>A. Do you think you could hold her off for a moment while I heal my poison?
>B. Do it! I'll defeat her before the poison takes hold of me.

"Do you think you might be able to distract her for a second, while I remove this poison?"

He places his hands in his pockets, and starts to march forward into the center of the field again. "Sounds like a plan. You do that, and I'll start to drag her out of her hiding place.."

It occurs to you that he's placed a tracking insect on her at some point in their battle. His confidence is apparent in the way he walks, and it seems to bring out your opponent's wrath. You waste no time, and immediately begin to remove the poison from your body. It would be much quicker if you had a table and a bowl of water, but you'll have to make do. Preforming the handsigns, your free hand glows green and starts to suck the poison from your bloodstream through the wound.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRW-docvWxA

Kunai and senbon rain down from the trees above, all seemingly poisoned. Shinji runs forward as fast as he can suddenly. It's a speed that you can easily track, but considering he knew where the attack was coming from he dodges it quite easily. You're being ignored, for the moment.

Shinji lands and spins around, digging his heels into the dirt and looking straight up. "Fireball Jutsu!"

He goes through several handsigns, and holds up his hand to his mouth. As he blows, a stead stream of fire shoots straight up. Normally you've seen this technique in it's fireball variant, as the stream has a considerably shorter range. But as Shinji continues to pump chakra into the jutsu, the stream of fire continues to rise upwards, billowing on top of itself. The air is sucked towards the blazing pillar, and the branches above are incinerated suddenly. You see the blonde woman leap from the trees and land, sliding.

The forest above has a smoking hole punctured through it, effectively removing her ability to move across this clearing. She looks behind her, at you. Seeing an opportunityY, she sprints forward at a speed that's comparable to if not greater than your own. The jutsu is still in progress, but just as you're about to release it you're suddenly saved. A cloud of insects flies off of the boulder that they had been crawling on. The very first one that you'd seen when you arrived here. They intercept her in a wall, and coat her leg as she slides to a stop and starts to yell. It probably is pretty gross. The bugs begin to eat away at her chakra, and clear open a path for you. A few seconds later, your poison removal is complete.

>>831788
You're a 2.5/5 when it comes to skill. Same with your strength and stamina, meaning you're average in all those respects. You're a 3/5 when it comes to all forms of speed though, so you're a little bit of a natural at that.

Best described as tough but squirrely I think. Your "moves" in taijutsu are a very quick jab and a leg sweep. You've also demonstrated an arm bar before, and can use a wakizashi with a decent level of skill.

You're very well rounded when it comes to taijutsu. However, like earlier, an opponent who majorly outclasses you in either speed or strength (even if they're not as skilled) can be a problem.

we kinda need an update on this Anyone remembers what we learned jsutsu wise? I know we used a fireplume on the guy we just beat and I am pretty sure we used the last bug toxin and all our healing liquid. What was the jutsu we learned from Ai?
>>
>>831815
Roof Tile Shuriken jutsu. Lets us use small, lightweight objects in a radius around us as projectiles. Low-scale TK, basically.
>>
>>831815
Roof Tile Shuriken from Ai. Lets you levitate small objects nearby and use them as projectiles.

Your bug toxin is gone, and I think you restocked on your liquid the last time you were at town.
>>
>>831770
>>A. Throw a kunai at her head
Bread and butter.
>>
>>831826
didn't know that was a refillable one, but if it is we did. Anything else need to be added?
>>
>>831832
Just -1 fireplume poison as you mentioned. And yeah you can restock on everything you currently have either at the flower shop or the weapon's shop.
>>
>>831840
we didn't use the explosive tags yet then?
>>
>>831846
I don't believe you have, no. Also forgot to mention you used the green aerosol poison.
>>
As quick as you can, you sling a kunai at her face. Her eyes had been glued to the bugs surrounding her, and she only barely manages to twist her head and torso backwards in a desperate sway. Her spine bends farther than humanly possible, and the extreme flexibility of her bones is unnerving. Regardless, she's in a vulnerable position now!

You pull back your other arm, throwing a second kunai in a ranged 1-2. This one is aimed at her stomach, so that she can't dodge it using any of her limbs. It's a clean cut despite her attempt to twist, slashing across diagonally as she falls to the ground. At once she reaches into a pocket and throws down a smoke bomb, suddenly using Shunshin to dash into the woods. You're guessing she'd rather flee than deal with the both of you.

The two of you stand still for another minute or two. There's no reason to pursue her if she's going to leave you alone. You don't even know why these cultists are attacking your squad specifically. The mission you're on has nothing to do with them.

Shinji steps over. "I'm glad she left. That was the last of what I had in me. Have you seen the others?"

You nod. "Himawari's back at the camp, but she's exhausted too. Let's hurry back, I need to get on Kayo's trail now!"

He starts walking. "Right. By the way, Mirai said that you'd be back. I don't know where you went exactly, but it's probably best you weren't there. It was total chaos when the cultists attacked, but thankfully Mirai saved all our lives and gave us time to escape. I'm sure she's defeated her opponent by now as well."

You start in a run. "Yeah! I'll keep an eye out for her too!"

--

A short while later you come back to the camp with Shinji. Himawari is resting by a small fire, seemingly having cooked small breakfast for herself. You take a piece of fried ham as you leave on Kayo's trail the scent starving you. Both your friends wish you good luck.

At first, it's incredibly difficult to spot the strands of thin black fur from Akahiko's shedding. However, a short walk leads you to a wide open, grassy prairie. The area is mostly devastated, huge swaths of the earth gouged out. Patches of grass have been reduced to ash, or cut to shreds by some sort of storm of blades. Whatever battle took place here was massive.
>>
>>831872
Mirai and Kayo both come through the smoke, supporting each other. Akahiko rests on top of kayo's head, also clearly injured.

You sprint over. "What happened?!"

"Makoto was here..Me and Kayo barely managed to chase him off. I've..We had no idea he ever escaped the Cloud. He was due for an execution!!"

You grimace. "So you think this was just some sort of grudge?"

She shakes her head. You notice Kayo is having great difficulty breathing. "Lay down!" you say. "I'll heal you before you lose anymore blood." Mirai's wounds are either superficial, or she's powering through them with adrenaline. "I don't know. If civil war is on the horizon in the Mist, I could see these clowns wanting to take advantage of the chaos. Have you found the others, Takeshi?"

You nod, as you start to heal Kayo. Her cuts are deep and jagged, the unfortunate attacks from Makoto's unique chain whip swords. You do what you can, reducing them but not quite completely closing them up. "If you move too wide, they'll start to open up again. I can try to heal them more later, but for now this is all I can do."

She winces as she sits up. "Thanks anyway. It's better than not bein' able to think straight."

"I'll heal everyone back up at the camp."

Mirai nods, and Akahiko barks. You all take off, and rest for a short while. Himawari had finishes making enough food for everyone's return, and you take an hour or two to recuperate. It does you all good, still leaving plenty of daylight to travel to your destination. A small town on the inside of the border of the Mist.

Are you prepared to leave, or is there something you want to ask the group?

>A. Ask someone something, or address the group.
>B. Go to the Mist
>>
>>831875
>>B. Go to the Mist
>>
>>831875
>B. Go to the Mist
Glad your not dead Mini
>>
>>831875
>A. Ask someone something, or address the group.
Apologize to everyone. We had left the group behind, abandoning them to conduct personal business, and the enemy used the opportunity to attack. It's thankful nobody was killed, but it was a close thing, and any injuries are our fault. It won't happen again.
>>
>>831902
Only two people realized that you weren't there, Mirai and Shinji. Himawari and Kayo were sleeping, and ran off immediately as was Mirai's instruction at the time. The simply assumed you scrambled off in the chaos of the ambush as well.

You could apologize, but you'd but be telling everyone you did go somewhere.
>>
B. Go to the Mist

Wooo, boruto quest, shit, I have finals today.

If shit gets real we need to bust out the owls
Currently no one knows about them and i want to keep it that way
>>
Healed and rested, the five you of take off to the Mist. It's trivial passing through the gate with Mirai with you, but the guards do give you a warning. "The village that you've mentioned is currently under attack from several insurgent groups. The rebels aren't the only ones present. In addition to rioters, Jashinists have apparently been spotted in the town as well. Detachments of Chunin have been sent to investigate, but they're in dire need of your reinforcements. That's all the information that we have."

The air outside is cool. The mist is settled in deeply, despite it being essentially noon. From here on out, you're traveling by boat to a small island village. Taking advantage of the time, you begin to study up on the scrolls that Fu gave you. You spend most of your time memorizing the Summoning Jutsu seals. It takes another hour or two, and the guide leaves you at the docks without a word. In front of you, the town is mostly plain wooden construction. The main street is empty, and coated in mist. There are three rows of buildings more or less. Some seem to be houses while the others are stores, warehouses, or fisheries. You guess that the small island is maybe three quarters of a mile in diameter, although it's shape is a bit elongated to the north.

What do you do?

>A. Say that you're going to go scout the town.
>B. Suggest you move forward as a group.
>C. Attempt the Summoning jutsu
>D. Split into a group. Mirai, Shinji, and Himwari as group A and you and Kayo as group B.
>E. Write-in
>>
>>831930
you don't have the ability to summon a combat worthy owl yet. But you could attempt and see what you get.
>>
>>831934
>>B. Suggest you move forward as a group.
We've already broke off from the group once. In hindsight, that may not have been the best idea.

note for any people lurking. If I see a bunch of people vote for an option I tend to start writing earlier, otherwise I wait until the time limit is up if it's possible it could be changed in a couple votes.

I start writing 15 minutes after the first vote. I forget that this information may not be as well known for my /qst/ posters as it was when I was running on /tg/ and said this a lot

"We should go together, as a group. This squad has powerful tracking abilities, so no one will be able to get an edge on us this time. They'll be forced to take us head on."

Himawari activates her Byakugan, and Akahiko leaps down from Kayo's head to begin sniffing around. He instantly looks up and whimpers.

"Blood." kayo says. "It's on the wind, I can smell it myself."

Several of Shinji's insects buzz out from his palm, moving deeply into the mist. "I'll place my tracker bugs at various points so we don't get confused in this fog. Are you seeing anything interesting, Himawari?"

Everyone turns, and finds the young girl tightly gripping her fists. "I see..I think we might be too late. There are still people fighting, but..that's it! There's no civilians left alive!"

Everyone's faces turn white. Something terrible is happening here. Mirai stomps forward, leading the charge. "Where are they??"

She winces. "They're going down the main road. Aside from a couple small skirmishes, there seems to be a group just killing everyone they see. There are Mist shinobi ahead of us, three standing against the four approaching. The enemy is.."

Beads of sweat form on her forehead as she looks worried. A boy that looks like..you, Takeshi. Two girls, and Makoto."

The five of you stand silent. The three men ahead are outnumbered, and being faced down by some seriously powerful foes. You say the short version of what immediately comes to mind, already clenching your fist. "The one that looks like me. He's their leader, I think. Not Makoto. His Jutsu..he's good at just about everything, and uses some sort of unique acid to attack. Any jutsu that's a liquid, is fatal."

You turn to Mirai.

>A. Are we qualified for this?
>B. What do you think we should do?
>C. Let's still go forward, we have to save those men.
>D. Write-in
>>
>>832014
Ill be honest, I think we aren't capable of defeating them yet.

>>C. Let's still go forward, we have to save those men.
I don't think we can beat them outright. But we might be able to hurt/annoy them enough to enable a fighting retreat for the Mist nin.
>>
>>832032
Yes, she's the highest ranked member of your squad. She's a Jounin, you're a Chunin, and the rest are Genin.
>>
>>832014
>A. Are we qualified for this?
>B. What do you think we should do?

last time it was a team of prodigies and us, I dont think we'll have as much luck this time. maybe buy time for the mist ninja to retreat
>>
>>832014
>B
Is it time for our rematch?
>>
>>832014
>D. He's a leader, of some sort. If we capture him, the leaf could get more information on this group.
>>
>>832051

Yeah, but last time we were trying to win. This time we may, as you said, just need to buy time to escape. If we have an exit strategy ahead of time, this might be doable...

...also last time we had no idea what we were up against.
>>
>>832099
We also over planned the shit out of that encounter making a five part plan when we knew one of the key things in that plan wouldn't work
>>
Despite her status as a Jounin, you can see the tension in her eyes. "Are we prepared..Well...No. We're not. We're here to save these men, at any cost! Let's go!!"

Before you can respond, Mirai draws her katana and sprints forward at high speed. The four of you chase after her. It's possible that with the help of the remaining shinobi of the Mist, you could defeat them quite quickly. Personally you'd prefer being able to come in from the side and sneak through, but there's no time as it would seem.

Mirai suddenly stops. "We're not going to make it. Let's announce our presence.."

She goes through a series of handseals. "Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!"

A horizontal pillar of wind pushes forward, blasting away the mist from the surrounding area. Sure enough, you can see your opponents in plain sight now. You're roughly sixty feet away from them.

First, you spot the blonde from earlier. Her wound seems to have been stitched up rather cleanly. Apparently they also have a medic on their side, to fix them. Then there's Asuka, the red headed, dark skinned swordswoman from the cloud. She has deep bags under her eyes, and many new scars. You imagine that she's been in combat quite a bit. Makoto stands next to her, shirtless and grinning. The scars covering this man's finely toned body are too numerous to count. In fact, you notice that he's wearing an eyepatch now as well. Thinking back to Kagame's artificial eye, you're glad that sort of technology isn't available yet.

In the center is Shozuku. Shorter and younger than all of them, he stands the proudest. Chest out, a sharp military cut, and pale white skin. There's no other way to describe him than as a dark mirror of you. There's a katana at his hip.

The doppleganger's eyes go wide at the sight of you. Makoto, his two longswords drawn, also grins. "Think we were able to delay them long enough, boss?"

Shozuku grins, still staring directly at you with wide, obsessive eyes. "Of course. The only survivors left are here in front of us."

He turns to the blonde haired woman. "Tomiko, prepare the Jutsu. I don't want to waste any time giving them a chance to think."

The three mist shinobi look at you all nervously. "The reinforcements!"
>>
>>832135

They step back into formation with you, a line across the street. You recognize one member, a Genin from the exams. He's the one who lost against Yasu.

Before you can greet him or respond, Makoto's chain-sword rapidly extends forward and impales his chest. Blood spurts from his mouth, and Makoto squeezes the handle of his sword again. You hear the sound of metal scratching across metal as another mechanism unfolds from inside the Genin. He's yanked off of his feet and into the air, and slammed back into the ground once. The remaining two mist shinobi also look terrified.

Your whole group is momentarily shaken. The fight has begun.

because he hurt himself by holding a kunai blade first. It'll stall his team if not him.

Had to step away for a minute. Post is on it's way, partially complete.
>>
"Everyone! Throw your weapons! Attack from a distance!"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5S-BJ4gl1GQ

The whole group, including the two remaining mist shinobi, start to release kunai and shuriken in a huge storm. You throw your own as well, and your opponents all have no choice but to abandon the body at their feet and leap away. Makoto retracts his blade and flips into the air towards you all.

Both of his blades extend as he starts to rapidly spin. In an instant he's a storm of blades. The rest of their group seems to disperse to the rooftops for now.

You activate the Haze Clone jutsu, providing cover for your whole team somewhat. You dash away, to the rear guard. Throwing down senbon with wires and bells, you start to focus your chakra through them. It's going to take a moment, but you could give your team mates a critical opportunity. You would use the False Sound to communicate, but you recall Shozuku countering that technique with his own.

Mirai launches forward first, faster than you can see in a Shunshin enhanced dash. She times the direct attack to pass through the bladed whips, stabbing forward at high speed.

Makoto is impaled and thrust backwards. She releases her katana, leaving it stuck inside of him. She lands, the other enemies looking down at her. Before anyone has time to react, Mirai flies through another series of seals, wordlessly striking the last one with emphasis. At once, the katana impaled inside of Makoto explodes. You only had time for a brief glance, but there was a small tag on the hilt of the blade. A huge hole is left in his chest, pouring red. Somehow still Makoto stands up, one of his lungs partially blown out. Blood pours out his mouth and his single eye is going wild.

Mirai isn't phased by it at all. "I created that seal specifically because of the battle I had with you, Makoto. Being immortal doesn't mean anything, if you don't have the blood or air to move!"

She grins. You imagine that she's getting an ironic satisfaction out of this, considering the fate of her father.

You look above. Shozuku looks down, seemingly unimpressed. He searches through the storm of clones for something, and suddenly starts to make seals.
>>
>>832328
.

"Look out sensei!" yells Shinji. He holds out his arms, and streams of bugs fly forward at high speed. Makoto thrusts up his limp arm, squeezing a button on his blade with what little strength he has. The extending blade fires forward, piercing the clouds of bugs. Mirai leaps back in time, returning to the group.

Shozuku tilts his head back as he completes his seals. Near the shore, about 100 feet away, the water starts to churn. It bubbles up and a dragon rises out, turning a bright green shade. It roars as the liquid splashes on the nearby stone of the rocky shore, sizzling as it melts it.

Everyone winces, acknowledging the power of the acid.

What do you do?

>A. Ask for everyone to try and protect you.
>B. Drop the jutsu, and tell everyone to get out of the way.
>C. Tell everyone to get out of the way, and hold the jutsu. Attempt too achieve just the paralysis part of the jutsu.

Shozuku has seen this technique before, and will likely try to fuck us up in particular if we attempt it now.
>>
"Everyone, get out of the way!" you yell. The whole group looks at you in shock, possibly disbelief. Mirai immediately objects. "What?! Takeshi, what are you-"

"Just go! I'll be fine, I can paralyze them and drop it. Take the chance when it shows up, hurry!"

"Tch!" you hear from behind you. You can only imagine it's Kayo. "He hasn't been wrong before. Let's move!"

She takes the initiative and leaps away. The rest of the group follows suit, and you turn to face a dragon made of acid for the second time in your life. It shoots into the sky in a wide arc, roaring as it bears down on you. You focus the chakra as quickly as you can, hoping to give your team a chance at-

Someone lands behind you. "Water Wall Jutsu!"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYpySN0SwAY

It's Shozuku's voice. A normal water wall spirals up in front of you, blocking the dragon's torrent and deflecting it to the sides. "Grab the body!" you hear him yell. More sounds of people landing behind you. Looking to the left and right, your allies are on the rooftops now. "What are they doing!?" you hear one of the mist shinobi yell.

The spray of acid destroys many of your clones, costing you a bit of chakra to reform your cover. Although, you're pretty sure they know where you are now. But the same could be said for you.

Your jutsu completes, freezing every enemy in place.

Maybe two seconds pass, and a hard boot impacts your spine. You're sent flying forward, heading towards a puddle of acid. As you're falling, you turn around to see a kunai sticking out of Shozuku's back. Behind him further, is Asuka with both her arms extended. She's frozen in place, but has stuck both of her allies with weapons. Tomiko picks up the body of the Mist Genin and attempts to leap away, but Mirai jumps up to stop her. She draws her trench knives, and tries to intercept her midair with a slash. Tomiko simply turns in a contortionist fashion, and spins the body of the mist genin to receive the attack instead. She lands safely a further distance away.

Suddenly, Asuka is struck directly with a Fireball Jutsu from Shinji. At least your Jutsu got something accomplished.

Your back is falling towards a puddle of acid.

Using your skill at chakra control, you attempt to coat your whole back and underside in a layer of chakra to float on top of the acid briefly. You remember the technique only lasting for a short while last time, but you intend to recover before you're harmed. Just as you're about to strike the green smoking liquid, you slip your hand into your weapon pouch and hook two fingers into the rings of some kunai.

You whip your hand forward, relying on the twisting motion of your wrist to propel three kunai in a tight fan.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eq07IKQBKQs

He grins widely, and rushes forward. into his first step, a kunai impales his left thigh and his right shoulder. The third slips past his face as he moves his head a couple centimeters. He stomps forward again, this time kicking off in full speed to close the short distance between the two of you.

You hit the puddle just at the moment that he's on you. Your makeshift shield lasts just long enough to splash the thin puddle of acid away partially, and the momentum from Shozuku tackling you rolls you forward. Sharp pain stings you all over in little flecks as the acid spray catches you somewhat. The two of you land in normal water, with him on top. He brings his left fist up and whips it in a sharp hook, catching you across the cheek and turning your head to the side. At the same time, you yank the kunai out of his shoulder and thrust it up at his throat, waving around.

He tilts his head back, narrowly avoiding it with the same insane grin. He grabs your arm and throws it to the side, preparing to strike.

In the distance you can hear the sounds of combat as your allies engage the others. In fact, various kunai thud into Shozuku's midsection from the side as he raises his arm high. He brings down a hard right straight, turning with his whole body to attack.

>A. Knee the kunai in his thigh into the bone. He may be immortal but he should still feel pain.

His fist comes down hard, and hits the dirt mud next to your head as you shift it to the side. Before he can pull back, you lurch to the other side and sink your teeth into the fleshiest part of his hand. The taste of blood and mud fills your mouth as you tighten your jaw as hard as you can, refusing to let go. With your free hand, you start to fire off repeated shots into his wounded shoulder.

This causes him to release the arm he has held down, the pain relaxing the tension against his will. Immediately you take the kunai in your now free hand and swing it back up, slashing directly at his face.

He opens his mouth, roaring at you in anger. Clamping down suddenly, sparks fly as he catches the blade with his teeth, cutting the edges of his mouth.

All is quiet for a moment. The two of you are locked like this, unable to move. If either one were to give an inch, it would be a chance of attack. The mist in the air hangs still as it slowly starts to roll back in.

The two of you remain, staring, searching for chinks in the armor of each other's mind. His rage meeting your courage.

At least you've removed him from combat for now. Your allies may be able to round up the others while you hold him.

You both shake as you struggle to pull free.

-----

That's all for tonight folks! I'll be running again soon. This friday or sooner, actually this time.

I was having trouble deciding what to do for the upcoming sequences. This was probably the part of the quest I had least developed in advance. I'll stick around a little bit to answer questions.
>>
>>832681
Thanks for running, Mini. Glad to see you still alive. Were our decisions optimal this time around?
>>
>>832681
Next when? Also what shape were our allies in when we last saw?
>>
>>832717
Sorry to make you worry anon. I had come to a point where I needed to do some thinking. You did alright, more or less have come to a draw in the first round.

This is the warm up for the encounter.

>>832726
Right now everyone on your team is good. Same couldn't be said for those mist guys however.
>>
>>832736
so our allies job. great. How are our reserves?
>>
>>832742
You're about 80%. You had some good time to rest but you've been doing a lot the past day and night. Your face really hurts here he hit you.
>>
>>832771
Could we use our other free hand to unseal our pre-poisoned senbon and jab him with them?
>>
>>832799
You could do that, yes
>>
Wish i could have participated, but i had a finals test. Oh well, next thread.
>>
>>832851
It's possible I could pick up this thread tomorrow, or any day this week. Keep an eye out everyone.
>>
>>832911
>Working the rest of the week

Here's hoping you don't start til 4:30 ish est any time you run.
>>
>>832911
awesome. Really enjoy this quest, mini. Glad you picked it back up
>>
Mini if we smashed an immortal head like a pumpkin, they would perma die yeah?
>>
>>832920
well whenever I work I don't get home until the afternoon, also est, so you should be good anon.

>>832957
indeed
>>
>>832986
So zombie rules apply, good to know. Did Shozoku save us because he wanted to kill us in a one on one battle? Does he see us as his rival?
>>
>>832994
He wasn't saving you. He was splitting the acid so that the body of the mist genin wouldn't get swallowed up. He expected you to get out of the way, and took the chance to attack once he had it thanks to his team mate.
>>
>>833024
Seems like we need to screw with the bodies to get into better position then.

Also New Pastebin
http://pastebin.com/quPegDLF
>>
>>833028

Good job anon. The next pastebin should separate all the techniques and jutsu into categories. Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, and Genjutsu maybe.
>>
>>833028
Thanks anon. And potentially. Maybe he just needs the one body.
>>
>>833038
So cadaver keep away time. Fun. Here's hoping Shinji took out his foe with his bugs after fire balling her ass.
>>
So anyone got ideas on what to do from here besides trying to tag him with the poisoned senbon?
>>
>>835512
My advice would be to break away and get a new read on the situation. It was his intention to separate you from the group.
>>
>>835592
Separate the tactician so he can't be a force multiplier?
>>
Well fuck, missed this one.
>>
>>842348
Not all hope is lost anon. I'll be continuing in this thread tomorrow. I've got a whole weekend.
>>
>>842712
Not tonight? Aw man.

You alive Mini?

Mini did your internet shit itself again?

I'm here now, anons. I'll be starting thread shortly.

You and this strange foe are locked together on the ground. His hand restraining yours, with your kunai caught in his mouth. He bites down on it to prevent you from yanking it free, despite your efforts. While he stares at you from this position, you're starting to get the impression that no amount of pain is gonna stop this guy.

The sounds of various explosions go off nearby.

You have one free hand, mostly pressed against the ground.

He's still just staring you as you remain here. It could be possible that this position is advantageous to whatever plan he might have. You need to escape!

Your hand hits your waist, and you scramble to unlatch the bag full of medicine and herbs. You take (what you hope to be) a fistful of Dragon Petals. You can't help but spill some out into the mud as you fumble, but you make sure to grab an extra large dosage to compensate.

Without hesitating you shove the pink petals into your mouth. Shozuku's eyes soften with confusion for a moment, but everything makes itself clear. New strength fills your body, and your kunai easily starts to slip past his teeth and cut the corners of his mouth as you sit up. He's launched back from the force of you standing, landing on his feet with a slide.

Taking the opportunity, you glance around the battlefield to check on your comrades. To the right, Shinji and Asuka are engaged. He's keeping her at bay with his insects, thankfully. Himawari, Kayo, and Mirai however..

Your eyes go wide in shock. You can hear Shozuku laughing at you from across the muddy field. A coffin is raising out of the ground, and Tomiko sits behind it with handsigns flashing.

They'd collected the still-warm body to use in exchange for the jutsu. But the question is, who's going to step out of that coffin?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1oBSajDsv4

The door is kicked open, and out steps a Leaf Shinobi. His skin is cracked and ashen, and he has short dark blue hair and a goatee. He looks to be in his mid to late thirties. On his knuckles are the same trench knives that Mirai sensei uses.

Your head whips to your sensei. Tomiko also begins to laugh, and you feel as if you're being left out. Himawari is the first to comment, looking at her sensei fearfully. "What's wrong??"

Mirai is staring at the ashen figure, her eyes full of tears. Her face contorts into an angry snarl. "You bastards.."

A chill shoots up your spine as you realize it could only be one person, Asuma Sarutobi. Before you can process what's happening, the sound of blade catches your attention. Shozuku is slowly drawing his katana, and looking at you with a dreamy stare.

It seems as if he's challenging you to a sword fight.

Use any weapons on the ground available. Perhaps we can also throw our poison senbon behind him, barely missing to throw him off, then send it into him with the jutsu.

You go through a series of hand signs that Ai has taught you. The Roof Tile Shuriken Jutsu lets you use small objects as a makeshift projectile, and you put it to effect by levitating the stones nearby. The largest are the size of baseballs, while the smaller ones seem to fly much faster. You launch all of them at once, and Shozuku rushes forward and leaps over all of them.

Slipping your hand into your pouch, you take three normal senbon and fling them at him one more time. This time he hits the ground and slides on his knees, bending back to nearly hit the ground. The mud lets him move smoothly, and he flips up like a springboard to come at you with his katana pulled back for a swing.

In your off hand, you use a small pulse of chakra to activate the sealed senbon in your wrist. The poisoned projectiles shoot out in a small spread, hitting him in three different points on the chest.

You hop to the left, narrowly evading his swipe. Looking over, you can see the anger on his face rising. He challenged you to an honorable duel and you denied it.

He goes through a couple of handsigns. "Water Clone Jutsu!"

The puddles surrounding you form liquid clones. The real Shozuku leaps away, over to his blonde haired ally. You have barely enough time to glance over and see that Mirai is occupied with Asuma. The dead Jounin demonstrates exemplary skill, using a combination of Ninjutsu and Taijutsu to keep her pushed back. His trench knives have been coated in a blue sheath, the tell tale sign of the Flying Swallow Jutsu.

Shinji's bugs have formed a defensive wall against a blast of fire from the real Shozuku, who now sits next to Tomiko. She's got her hands on his chest, coated in mystical green light. Is she removing the poison?

You turn back just in time to duck under the sword swipe of a Water Clone. There's six total all around you.

>A. Use the Haze Clone Jutsu, and then attack with your Wakizashi
>B. Use Shunshin to dash away, and Water Bullet Jutsu to disrupt the healing. You'll have the water clones on your tail, though.

You dash between the slashes of several katanas, leaving a small swirl of leaves in your wake. You skid to a stop a short range away from where Tomiko and Shozuku are, and start to fire off Water Bullets. A volley of three forces the two of them to split. As you start to turn, the shadows on the ground in front of you warn you of the enemies attacking from behind. A rushing swirl of wind saves you, Kayo and Akahiko rushing by using their signature Man-Beast Taijutsu. They pierce and crush two of the water clones, and you flip back to avoid cuts from the remaining four.

Landing in muddy water, you're in the position that you'd just shot. To your left is Shozuku, and to your right is Tomiko. In front of you is Kayo and Akahiko. (transformed into a copy of Kayo)

Behind you are the sounds of Shinji, Himawari, and Mirai fighting. The heat of a fiery explosion hits your back. There's no other way to say it. You're in the center of a battlefield.

>A. Use the Haze Clone Jutsu, and attack Tomiko with your Wakizashi. She's closest.
>B. Use the Haze Clone Jutsu, and attack Shozuku with the Water Bullet Jutsu. He's mid-range.

There's not too much time to really think of a complex strategy. You decide to go with the safest of options. Attack! The handsigns for the Water Bullet Jutsu only take a moment. Firing off three soccer ball sized bullets at Shozuku, you force him to start moving and burning through his stamina. Three needles is a decent dosage. In addition to his seemingly endless rage, it should spread fairly quickly. He slides out of the way of each bullet with ease, smooth panther like movements.

At once he's heading towards you in a blinding sprint. While he's not as fast as you overall, if he has room to accelerate his form starts to blur.

An unbeatable target heading directly towards you. It reminds you of Kagami and her mech, during the semifinals. Drawing six senbon, you let them go in a tight fan.

He flinches, much to your surprise. Your attack causes him to stop short and duck, giving you enough of an opportunity to rush forward yourself.

You're sprinting towards Shozuku at full speed.

You sling the kunai down at Shozuku's feet, further stunning him. He immediately leaps directly up into the air, narrowly avoiding the explosion. It propels him high into the sky, and the sun blinds you slightly as you look up. Stopping, you listen carefully for any signs of attack.

Heat covers your face. The sound of rushing flames grows louder. You use the Water Bullet Jutsu where Shozuku jumped, and your attacks collide with each other and disperse.

He lands, and sighs. "You really wanna die painfully, don't you?"

He goes through the handsigns for the Water Clone Jutsu, but this time there seems to be additional seals added. "Acid Clone Jutsu"

Spitting at the ground, he makes two clones presumably formed of acid. You're going to go ahead and assume that close combat is not how you want to engage them. Behind you, the tearing sound of Kayo's fang over fang can be heard. You hope that she's fighting Tomiko in an effort to shut down Asuma.

Three versions of your foe stand across from you. The Acid Clones take off in a dash, coming at you in a pincer motion. They intend to attack you simultaneously!

What do you do?

Using what is perhaps your most versatile defensive tool, you summon the Haze Clones as cover. Shifting your position in the crowd slightly, the Acid Clones quickly lose track of you. You're waiting carefully for the proper moment to slip in and attack. The pair advances into your clones, swinging their katanas with abandon. There's an explosion of ash and fire over near Mirai and Asuma's battle.

You use Shunshin and dash forward with sudden speed, attempting to accelerate beyond your normal abilities. Shozuku hardly expects it when you dart from the crowd directly at him.

When you're upon him, you can see that his pale skin is an even more sickly shade. The poison is beginning to take hold, since you were able to separate him. You come in with a sharp uppercut, and he tilts his head back to evade. You were counting on this, however. Ever since he's been poisoned, he's been focused on evading rather than attacking. Taking another step forward, with your punch still in the air, you slam your shoulder into him and knock him down.

The acid clones turn around to face you, but you spin around and throw two kunai. They explode in corrosive mist, destroying many of your clones and forcing you to deactivate the jutsu. Your chakra is starting to run low from all of this effort.

Shozuku is starting to pant as the poison hits him. You run forward to finish him off, unaware of a sudden kick to your spine that launches you onto the ground next to him.

The pain is fierce and sharp, and you turn over to see Tomiko grinning. "What a bother..He actually managed to down you! But, you served as a worthy distraction my lord.."

Tomiko grins devilishly. Shozuku looks completely unamused. "Shut up..Get us..Out of here!"

You look over to see Kayo laying limp on the ground, numerous needles sticking out of her body. Presumably full of poison.

The sounds of the rest of your squad fighting can still be heard in the distance. What do you do?

You managed to dash out of the way of a handful of poisoned needles thanks to your Shunshin. Tomiko turns and sighs as she watches you run off. "He's like a cockroach. Worse than I am, really."

Landing with a harsh roll, you grab onto your friend Kayo and heft her into your arms. Nearby you hear whimpering, and sure enough a frightened Akahiko is hiding behind some stones. "Come on!" you yell.

The dog looks hesitant. Suddenly, a lumbering, weakned Shozuku rushes at you. He roars, slinging his katana at you in a slow and loose fashion. You manage to dodge underneath his sword swipes, keeping both you and Kayo safe. It seems as if you're totally cornered until Akahiko leaps forward and bites onto Shozuku's arm.

Before he can slam the hilt of the katana into the dog, you swing your leg forward and nail him in the crotch as hard as you can. Sure enough he stops short and hits the ground, and Tomiko calls out. "Holy shit!"

You turn and run, Akahiko on your heel to help protect you.

"MIIRAAII!" you yell. "Shinjii! Himawari!!"

You call out for your friends, but as far as you can tell, they're still locked in battle with Asuma.

Stopping once you're a decent distance away, you hide in a wooden store briefly. You place Kayo down and start to remove the poison. A large dosage in combination with exhaustion could lead to permanent damage.

You take a soldier pill, to draw up some reserve chakra to remove the poison. This is a dire situation..

That's all for tonight folks! I'll stick around to answer some questions.

The last part of this mission will be next thread.

And I'm finally caught up.

It's more your allies who are in danger at the current moment.
>>
>>852888
How boned are our allies?
>>
>>852895
Kayo's gonna be fine at least. You took her away and can fix her up before heading back out there. Akahiko will stay behind and guard once you're gone.

How much of a skill gap is there between MIrai and her father?

On a scale of 1 to pic related, how MAAAD is Shozuku?
>>
>>852858
Thanks for running
>>
>>852895
Probably pretty boned

One of the biggest threats is no longer being distracted meaning their whole team is together,not too mention the zombie

They also split us up wich is REALLY bad
>>852900
Thanks for running mini

What are the chances of the mist actually falling to civil war
>>
>>852900
was staying focused on Shozuku generally a bad idea? Because on one hand we're no longer directing our team, but on the other, Shozuku is a massive force multiplier.
>>
>>852900
when are you going to run again?
>>
>>852911
Asuma's totally got the edge in pure destructive power, and as a resurrection he actually has no limit on stamina. She's fighting in uphill battle both in being outclassed and outpaced. She's sticking to her katana because she knows he'll outbox her with the trench knives.

>>852931
You'll find out about the political ramifications of all this later

>>852936
It was good at first, but you're more powerful when you're with your allies after all. You were able to keep him at bay but like you said, you couldn't combinate with your team.

Next friday possibly sooner

Nice. How much longer is the Jashinist threat going to continue, in your estimation?
>>
>>853515
He was pretty mad, but being poisoned and exhausted has calmed him down quite a bit.

>>853566
They won't be easy to get rid ofc
