Shinobi Quest #53

This quest takes place within the lands of the Five Great Shinobi Nations (aka Narutoverse) starting roughly around the beginning of the original series. The world of this quest remains similar to the original, with slight but notable differences in certain areas, based upon the passage of time from a single slightly altered event.

(It’s a goddamn Naruto Quest, you bastards. Have fun, participate, and write in when you feel inclined. Most of the outcomes of this quest will be determined by you, the players. Critiques and questions are always welcome, as my knowledge of the weeby shit is not all encompassing.)

Last thread, Tsuki Norihime, battered but not broken, faced down the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, Kurama, with the assistance of his former host, Kushina. Quickly recruiting the assistance of a skeptical Neji Hyuga, the three of you were able to locate Kushina’s children, Naruto and Nori, using Neji’s Byakugan.

After reuniting the children with their mother, talk turned to how to seal Kurama- with the children agreeing to split the fox between them, in lieu of releasing the demon inside Kushina, to perish along side her. Although Kushina was sure her death was not far off, you had remembered stories of the Greatest Medical-nin of all time- Tsunade, the Slug Princess. Surely, she of all people will be able to heal Kushina?

With the plan settled, the five of you took action, each taking your assigned role. In her weakened state, Tsuki was unable to distract Kurama as need- thankfully Neji was able to pull your weight by activating his Curse Seal- which allowed him to engage Kurama long enough to force the Demon Fox into the Uzumaki’s trap.

Although Nori nearly faltered, the three Uzumaki were able to seal Kurama away using a fuinjutsu unknown to you- strengthened, one would hope, by the use of Kushina’s blood in the seal.

Events transpired quickly after that- Hiashi Hyuga and Danzo arriving to arrest Neji, the townsfolk trying to pick up the pieces… even the Hyuga men rushing the Uzumaki to the hospital building for treatment.

Konoha had been changed by this attack- and you aren’t sure if it will ever be the same again.

It's finally here!

Alright you lot, don't forget the plan we made after the home alone section.

We plug the shit out of the Norihime Home Security System with the powerful (and completely true) pitch that it weakened some S-class nin enough that by the end a group of genin were able to kill one.

We use this as leverage to secure major contracts for the reconstruction of Konoha, perhaps plying the Fire Daimyo's graces to help secure them if need be.

And if it works, then when all is said and done, Konoha will be both rebuilt and fortified and Norihimecorp will be rolling in the wealth.

That should come later.

For now though, focus should be on the Norihime Foundation for Charitable Giving quickly ramping up operations to help our fellow leaf get back on their feet.

This is also a chance to operate an ichiraku ramen kitchen to serve out free food for shinobi at work and displaced leaf. Marketing opportunity for the new chain.

It's /b/.
Here's some other art he was making.
>>
>>887290
Agreed. Since so much shit was destroyed, it should be easier to add in new fortifications and traps to make the village more defensive, while rebuilding it at the same time.

>>887316
Why?
>>887320
We don't.
>>
>>887306
Last I checked, all we knew about what happened in the Land of Waves was that Neji came back from the mission really upset.

Might be that Haku survived in this timeline.

>>887329
maybe he was gay for Haku?
>>
>>887316
Disgusting. He can go get his own home by using his own money for renting an apartment. No fucking way he's staying to Tsuki. Practically, no way her dad, Danzo, or many others who distrusts him would let him near us anyway.
>>
>>887316
We need to stick up for him. He pulled his weight and more in that fight in the interest of konoha.

I think spoken testimony from the Minatos should do a great deal in clearing his charges.
>>
If Haku survived wave and really is Tsuki's hard counter then I think he may end up with Akatsuki or with best!mangekyoSnehk
>>
>>887339
I don't mind sticking up for him, but I sure as hell don't want him sticking around as a butler. Maybe if we do the Neo-root thing he can be an agent.
>>
>>887349
This. At most we can vouch for him in trial, but no butler, and no keeping him at home.

>>887341
Better go learn that earth release.

>>887318
Kick out anyone from the sand. A complete shut down on new arrivals from the land of wind until the village council figures out what the hell is going on.

Bring back root, and have them do a lot worse than the interrogation technique.

Build a sensor dome and make the Sand pay for it as reparations.

A gentle breeze blows, and the light of the morning sun begins to spill over your face.

Your eyes flutter open- and you groan.

Morning already?

Glancing around the room, you can see little has changed.

After the chaos following Kurama’s sealing, Hinata’s father had offered you and your father a place to stay within the Hyuga compound. Father declined, of course- scarcely resting long enough for the medical-nin to heal him before declaring he was off to the Capital, to speak with the Daimyo.

You couldn’t fault him, though- Konoha would need more protection in the days to come, while her people focused on rebuilding.

You decided to take the Hyuga up on their offer- the compound was near enough to the hospital to make the trip every day, and it was certainly better than staying in a hospital room.


“Tsuki-hime!~” HInata’s voice calls from outside the room.


“You’re about to miss breakfast!” She announces, before sliding open the door to the room.

Seeing that you’re still in bed, she pouts.

“Honestly! Without Maru here to wake you each morning, you rise like a stone! C’mon- I’ll help you up.” She teases.

Firmly grasping your good hand, she gently helps you stand. You still wince a little, though the Medical-nin have given you some medicine to help with the pain.

Hinata turns politely while you dress- which, thankfully, you can do on your own. Once you’ve changed, she helps push your hair, and you begin idle chatter.


[What would you like to talk to Hinata about?]


1. Konoha’s reconstruction.

2. Neji’s situation.

3. Kushina’s condition.

4. How she’s holding up.
>>
>>887349
I think he is redeemable though. His actions at the battle showed as much. Right now he also needs to be shown trust since even his home clan is likely to distrust him. Tsuki is basically one of the few threads tying him down to konoha and if we don't nail him down properly with ties he might just go again. I'd rather not send someone of his calibre towards akatsuki's direction.

Just a thought about Neji, if we do decide to go up to bat for him and bail him out of the treason charges, we need to establish with him (preferably not directly) that we aren't actually interested in him romantically.

Think about it this way, if he's infatuated with us and assumes we're interested in him back with the way we defend him from the charges, finding out that we aren't actually interested might cause him to think that we've been leading him on, and he'll feel betrayed and go over to snekuncle because he's an emotional teenager.
>>
>>887541
But we would need to do it in such away were he gets our point but it dosen't offend him which would lead to hike going edgemeister on us

“Say, Hinata- how’s Nori’s mom doing?” You ask as she finishes styling your hair.

As you turn to face her, you can see the slight frown on her lips.

“Medical shinobi are still maintaining her condition, but it really hasn’t improved. They’ve been treating her in shifts, as not to exhaust themselves. At this rate, they don’t know if she’s ever going to recover.”


“As she expected, then.” You sigh.

Kushina had said no Jiinchuriki could live once their Tailed Beast had been removed- although the truth of that statement was questionable. Certainly it was beyond most shinobi’s medical skills, but still-

“Lord Jiraiya set off yesterday in search of Lady Tsunade, taking Nori and Naruto with him.” Hinata says, predicting your next line of inquiry.

“Just the three of them? Isn’t that a little dangerous?” You ask.

“Maybe- but neither of them were going to sit idly by and watch their mother suffer. Besides- those Akatsuki people probably think the fox was destroyed, rather than resealed. I’d be surprised if they were actively searching for them- they’re probably lying low somewhere safe.” Hinata guesses.

“It’s still risky, but I suppose we have no choice. If anybody can keep them safe, hopefully that perverted sage can.” You pout.

“Lord Jiraiya is probably the only one who can find her, you know. She’s been away from Konoha nearly fifteen years.” Hinata says.

“Let’s hope he’s good on his word, then. Kushina needs her help.” You say, your pout turning into a frown.


A moment of silence passes between you, the mood turning somewhat dour. Hinata eventually takes the initiative, however, leading you by the hand out into the sun.


“C’mon! We need to eat- no need to dwell on other’s missions. From what I understand, Shimura-san is coming soon, to talk to my father, and well as you. You need to be ready!”

“Ready for Danzo? Please, Hinata.” You laugh.

She pouts again. “He’s just so… intense. I don’t know how you interact with him so easily.”

You laugh again- and she joins you, as the two of you walk to the dining hall.

You will admit, however, that your old caretaker has changed over the last few days. Seemingly spurred on by the danger to Konoha- or possibly the death of the Third, who was his friend- Danzo has taken a much more active role in Konoha’s affairs. The people, for their part, seem to have welcomed his assistance and wisdom, even if somewhat warily at first. It’s a shame that this is what it took for them to welcome him back.


--------------------------

>>887571
>“Ready for Danzo? Please, Hinata.” You laugh.
>She pouts again. “He’s just so… intense. I don’t know how you interact with him so easily.”

That's the best, cutest shit.
Danzo's this ex-KGB spymaster motherfucker that most people fear or hate and to Tsuki he's just a part of the family. And he clearly treats her kindly in return.
>>
>>887578

I know. It's great.
>>
>>887561
Perhaps we can try to diplomance him while he's in jail.

Though this is a bit precarious considering that his dick is currently the primary factor preventing him from betraying Konoha.
>>
>>887578
Gotta love the right wing ex black ops grumpy uncle.
>>
Remember folks just go with Danzo on whatever. A nice unified leaf under a strong leader, him. The gloves are off.
>>
>>887595
Mostly everyone in the village hates and/or don't trust him. I don't know why you Anons think he has a chance in hell of being the leader.
>>
Also, we have seriously got to talk with Itachi over his order to spare Gaara. We still don't know what the fuck went down with him after he did the monster mash.

>>887599
>The people, for their part, seem to have welcomed his assistance and wisdom, even if somewhat warily at first. It’s a shame that this is what it took for them to welcome him back.
>>
>>887599
>The people, for their part, seem to have welcomed his assistance and wisdom, even if somewhat warily at first
>>
>>887595
Unless everyone suddenly agrees with Danzo(maybe the recent attack convinced them but that is not very likely) than this is never going to happen
>>
>>887599
Hard times lead people to gathering behind hardened men. The leaf needs Danzo. Now is his time
>>
>>887603
Not sparing garaa would probably lead to a great shinobi war
>>
By the by, did Minato ever reappear?

Or is he still missing?

>>887607
I honestly think Danzo is better off doing spook shit behind the scenes instead of leading Konoha.
>>
>>887599
Hyuugas and other shinobi were already calling Danzo with the sama prefix in the battle.

And the Hyuuga head did bow to his interpretation with respect to negi.
>>
>>887612
As big a war as Suna sending a hilariously unstable jinchuurichi to a foreign nation's chunnin exam, whereupon said psycho self-destructed into a giant sand-beast that attacked the Hokage's children?

Cause that's not okay either.
>>
>>887607
If Danzo didn't want ROOT to be reinstated, I doubt he will want to be a leader anyways.
>>
>>887623
With not outright killing gaara we still have a possibility of negotiation a settlement. At this point we will not want to, I believe but if we had killed Gaara, there would have been no chance of concluding this war without utter destruction of one of the two hidden villages.
>>
>>887612
It turned out the kazekage died anyways, it would seem.
And gaara's also going to die anyways, since they captured him and are probably sucking out the one tail right now.

>>887648
Hopefully not, but probably it has. Reputation is a bad thing in a world of insane assassins.
>>
>>887623
It's all about whether they were justified in attacking.

If we killed the Kaze's son, the other nations would agree that war was a legitimate response.

As it stands though, Suna attacked for no justifiable reason, so the other nations are definitely going to be wary of them as warmongers, and are going to see us as the innocent (if naive) victims.

Speaking of which, we're in a prime position for diplomatic talks with Takigakure since we did save Fuu and all.
>>
>>887654
No one gonna be upset but image all the strategic-class shit a village will pull when its very existence is at stake.

A war and a settlement from a position of strength will be a better proposition rather than having to exterminate an entire village.

--------------------------


After a pleasant breakfast in the dining hall, Hinata’s prediction comes true. Escorted by several Aburame men, Danzo enters the Hyuga compound. He quickly dismisses the men, who leave to pursue some other goal.

Hiashi and Danzo greet each other amicably and with respect, before the elder Hyuga leads him into the dining hall.

“I’ll receive you in the meeting hall shortly, Shimura-san. Tsuki is with my daughter, so I’m sure you’ll want to check in with her. I’ll have the reports ready by the time you’re finished.” Hiashi says, pointing over to where you and Hinata are sitting.

“Ah, very well, Thank you for receiving me so readily- we must take full consideration of the status of each clan as we rebuild. While the immediate danger is gone, our home is still under threat- especially with the absence of the Fourth. I won’t keep you waiting too long. Excuse me.” Danzo says, parting with Hiashi.

His stern features lighten when he sees you- although, maybe you’re the only one that can tell?


You rise, giving the elder shinobi a light hug with your free arm.

“Good to see you, Tsuki. I presume the Hyuga are treating you well?” He inquires.

“Very well, Danzo. I could scarcely ask for a better place to recover. Sit with me a moment? I would hear how events are progressing for Konoha.” You ask.

“How could I decline? You deserve to know as much as everyone else.” He says, following you back to the table.

As he sits, Hinata greets him respectfully, although you can tell she’s a bit nervous.

“Please, Hinata-chan, no need for formalities; I owe your family much for taking care of Tsuki while her father is away. Your father has proven a major help in our endeavors to keep Konoha safe while we rebuild.”

Hinata nods, but says little. Seems that she’s still slightly intimidated by Danzo- or his reputation.

Danzo sits, resting his cane on the table as he does so with his free hand, his other arm bound within his robes.

“So, Tsuki- what would you like to know? I don’t want to keep Hinata’s father waiting, but Hiashi is a patient man.” Danzo says.

You….


1. Ask about your Father

2. Ask about Fuu

3. Ask about the Fourth

4. Ask about Konoha’s rebuilding efforts.

Akatsuki just btfo Konoha, why would Takigakure suddenly be safer? Her protectors/escorts got mopped up easily, leaving her fate ambiguous to her village.

On top of that, Papa Norihime still wants an experimental energy source for his flying machine.

Plus she gets along with Tsuki.

Finally, why in the world would Danzo pass by the opportunity to deprive a foreign, bordering nation of a major source of their political and military power? That's prime Future Konoha real estate there.

Going off the grid and coming under the protection of Norihime Corp. may actually save her, instead of just sending her back to the Village (that one much smaller and much weaker than the one just crushed) she came from. If you want to see a living Fuu, it seems like a decent enough thing to justify lying about.
>>
Wargle ded?
Rare Tsuki time when?
>>
>>888030
First of all, her home village hasn't been touched and ours is destroyed. Second, Fuu will probably want to go home. Third, do you think this through? The other villages will get defensive if the Leaf took away some other village's tail beast.
>>
>>888030
>>888038
Aren't we allies with her village? We can just talk it out without lying maybe.
>>
>>888038
Also, assigning an escort and sending her back safely will deepen and strengthen strategic relations with that village, bringing them closer to konoha's camp.

We do not need sovereignty over their territory to control or exert influence.

“So, the Fourth is still-”

“Missing, yes. None of his guards have received any contact from him, and neither had Jiraiya. I suspect that part of his eagerness to set out in search of Tsunade was, in part, a hope to find Minato as well.” Danzo explains.

“The ANBU teams, or what’s left of them, have been searching for a body, as well. It’s like he vanished entirely- all we managed to find was one of his signature kunai, out past the outskirts of the village.”

“So… what now? How long can the village go without it’s leader?” You ask.


“Several of the elders and myself, in conjunction with the clan heads, will do what must be done to keep Konoha functioning. Soon, Jonin will resume taking missions, with Chunin being authorized to do so sometime later. Even now, Konoha must put on a strong face- we cannot show the outside world weakness.

I suspect that if the Fourth is not heard from within a few weeks time, the Daimyo will call for a special conference to determine his replacement. Usually, Hokage nominate their successors-” his brow furrows at this statement, but then relaxes- “However, if there is no nominated successor, Konoha’s charter with the Land of Fire enables the Daimyo to call the conference.”

A conference to choose the new Hokage… while you never agreed with the man’s leadership style, Minato’s disappearance is not good for Konoha’s reputation. Hopefully the proceedings to choose his replacement go smoothly… and select someone who can be relied upon.

This train of thought is rather dark for current company, however, so you decide to change the subject.


“Oh- how is Fuu doing? I understand she hasn’t left yet?” You ask.

“The Takigakure girl? She has been most helpful aiding in the rebuilding efforts- and doesn’t seem particularly keen on leaving. We did receive notice from her Village that they would be sending a team to escort her home, however- so if you wished to say goodbye before she goes, I would make that a priority while you recover.” Danzo says.

“You mentioned the rebuilding effort- how is it going?” You inquire.

“Slowly, for the time being. Your father seems to have taken your talk about charitable giving to heart- he’s donated large sums of money, or in his words, “invested” towards rebuilding Konoha. Part of his trip to the Capital was to hire carpenters and other artisans to aid in the reconstruction. Knowing Yoru, he’ll bring far more than we need- but then again, maybe he has a plan in mind? Most times, it’s best to simply let your father proceed with his plans uninhibited.” Danzo says, a faint smile resting on his lips.

>Akatsuki just btfo Konoha, why would Takigakure suddenly be safer? Her protectors/escorts got mopped up easily, leaving her fate ambiguous to her village.

You think they'd care? having a Jinchuriki still means more power for defense and politics, so no way they'd give her up just because we tell them she's targeted or whatever.

>On top of that, Papa Norihime still wants an experimental energy source for his flying machine.

Uh huh, like anyone is actually going to actually consider that as a realistic option. Who the hell would want to use such a limited resource(Read: only 9 in the world) for making airships? and this isn't even considering all the moral and ethical issues.

>Plus she gets along with Tsuki.

Not a real factor. Plenty of people gets along with Tsuki, doesn't mean she keeps them for her village for it.

>Finally, why in the world would Danzo pass by the opportunity to deprive a foreign, bordering nation of a major source of their political and military power? That's prime Future Konoha real estate there.

Because he would know better to do something that stupid, as in inviting more war when the village is already devastated and is in need of recovery and repair.

It's not a stretch to assume Yoru's got a lot more places to go than Konoha. He runs a multinational weapons developing/trading corporation.

Hence why we lie. We play it off that they were killed in the massive, chaotic assault by the organization that wants to harvest them like a resource.

Like Gaara probably just was.
It is all up to Fuu's choice, though.

>>888046
>>888056
A possibility, but considering Sunagakure was an ally like a day ago before betraying us...Danzo would probably not be for it if we put him into power. He's the type to preach Konoha above all others.

Leaf is hungering for resources to rebuilt itself, while most likely questioning its allies as well.

Also, just keep in mind you're technically talking about an international arms dealer and his underlying company.

By any means Norihime Corp already should considered an enemy to the nations and to peace considering we profit from their foreign conflicts.

Danzo begins to rise, his face becoming more serious as he does so. Reaching for his cane, the older shinobi begins to excuse himself- before realization dawns on him.

“Tsuki- and Hinata-chan as well- you may wish to make time to visit your jonin-sensei soon. Upon visiting the Uchiha district, we were informed by the young Sasuke that his father, Fugaku, died during the attack- at the hands of one of the Akatsuki. If your descriptions of them are accurate… it was none other than Sasori of the Red Sand. Sasuke is currently acting as head of the clan, due to Fugaku’s choice to distance Itachi from the clan.” Danzo explains.

Your blood runs cold- Itachi-sensei’s father died during the attack? All of the casualties had not been accounted for, but…

“The boy may not have been close to his father, and if he has been affected by his father’s death, he certainly hasn’t shown it- but still, he would likely appreciate the support. Now- I must be off. After I speak with Hiashi, we have several other clans to speak with today. Tsuki- I believe we may have found something you may be interested in near the ruins of the manor… so please, stop by the manor’s vault later. I’ll be expecting you.” Danzo says, excusing himself.

While what they found certainly captures your attention, you cannot help but wonder, what happened that Fugaku had perished? Sasori’s truly abilities beyond the suit he wore are still a mystery to you… Maybe you could find somebody who knew what happened?

Hinata’s eyes are downcast as Danzo leaves- the poor girl just wanted to have a nice breakfast. Her own life has been turned upside down- just as everyone else’s had. Konoha will recover, but will it ever be the same? You have doubts.

Regardless, you need to determine how to proceed- your time is now your own.

You….

2. Try to cheer up Hinata by taking her outside the compound.

3. Go to the hospital for treatment.

>It's all up to Fuu's choice
Apparently you haven't realized that it's a foregone conclusion that Fuu is more loyal to Taki than she is to Konoha, even if she is fond of us.

>Being an international arms dealer is the same as seizing living weapons from their countries for our own use
That's not even remotely correct and you know it. The only people who would dare to publicly do business with us if we did that are members of the criminal underworld.

>I listed incentives for them to
And I listed strong reasons for them not to. Like not pissing off every other country.

>Danzo would make it fine
Taki (and indeed, spies from the other nations) would realize quickly that she hadn't died or been taken in the crush simply by word of mouth because of her prominence in the post-crush village. Nothing short of silencing everyone in Konoha on that matter would make it even remotely possible; that's why it's such an unreasonable thing to suggest.

Unless you have something better than "Danzo would be able to make it work somehow" there's nothing more to discuss.

Maybe some time outside the compound will cheer Hinata up? Besides, you do know somebody whose demeanor is rather infectious…

------------

Unsurprisingly, it doesn’t take long for the two of you to find Fuu, who is using Chomei’s abilities to fly supplies around Konoha- even using her web-like material to lift heavier loads. It has to be hard work- but Fuu does it with a smile.

“Is she…. flying?” Hinata says with no small amount of wonder in her voice.

Seems Fuu has no issues showing off all the things Chomei allows her to do- which is probably why her bodyguards were so strict.

“Fuu is, well- She’s the Jiinchuriki of the Seven-Tails, Chomei. She was a major help when the Akatsuki attacked the manor- honestly without her, I might not have lived through it.” You explain.

As you explain to HInata more about Fuu, the Takigakure shinobi spots you- and isn’t shy about letting you know.

“TSUKI-CHAN!” She cries out, flying towards you- along with her load of lumber.

At the last minute, you and Hinata able to shunshin away, but-


*CRASH*


Fuu looks upon her mess blankly for minute, before apologizing.

“S-sorry, everyone! Fuu just got a little too excited to see her friend!” She apologizes.

To your surprise, however, many of the townsfolk seem to chuckle at her, rather than be upset. Seems that by working hard to aid them, she’s earned their good will.

“Glad to see you too, Fuu. Just… be a little more careful next time, alright?” You call down to her from a nearby rooftop.

Some color raises in her cheeks as she smiles and scratches the back of her head in embarrassment.

Both you and Hinata rejoin her in the street as she works to tidy up her lumber pile.

“Fuu, this is Hinata Hyuga!” You announce, pointing to your friend.

“She’s the heiress of the Hyuga clan, and a wielder of the Byakugan dojutsu- as well as my friend, teammate and ally!” You declare with flair.

“Ts-Tsuki-hime, what are you-” Hinata stammers, her pale complexion contrasted by her bright red face.

“Woooah! I see!” Fuu says, nodding sagely. “Tsuki has such strong friends; I’m lucky to count myself among them!” She says.

“Ohohohohohoho!~ Only the strongest shinobi count themselves among my allies, Fuu! We are the elite of Konoha!” You proclaim, enjoying this far too much.

Hinata buries her face in her hands while Fuu joins you in your laughter.

Once the moment passes, you decide to walk around Konoha with Fuu and Hinata, under the pretense of showing Fuu around Konoha- even though much of it is destroyed or under construction. Thankfully she still goes along with it, ooh-ing and ahh-ing when you show her things like the Hokage offices or the Monument.

When you reach the part of town where Ichiraku’s once stood, you’re pleasantly surprised to see Teuchi and his daughter making and passing out ramen to passersby as they go about their work. Seems for the time being, they’ve pitched a temporary tent up upon the lot, using what they can to make make as much ramen as possible.

“Teuchi! I see you’re doing your best!” You say, announcing your presence.

“Ah, Ms. Norihime! Yes- we’re doing what we can to keep everyone’s spirits up! Your father came by earlier, explaining what had happened; he also let us know that you had spoken to him at length about the quality of our product, and that he would see to it personally that Ichiraku’s was rebuilt better than ever!” Teuchi says, beaming proudly.


Oh, Dad. You had only mentioned it offhandedly when discussing the expense report- but seems he’s embraced the purchase with his usual enthusiasm.

“The Norihime Corporation is counting on you, Teuchi! You and your family will set the standard for ramen the world over!” You proclaim.

Your stomach growls loudly- at which Hinata and Fuu laughing.

“Uhm… speaking of which, could we have three bowls? Seems my recovery has taken it’s toll on my stomach….” You mutter, embarrassed.

Teuchi just laughs.

“Of course! Three bowls of our finest, coming right up!”

---------------------


The three of you enjoy your ramen on a nearby street corner, as there isn’t really anywhere to sit- but you don’t mind.

As you eat, Fuu marvels at the flavor.

“We don’t really have ramen places back in Takigakure-” she says, pausing to speak between loud slurps. “But Tsuki, your family owns a ramen restaurant? Amazing!”

“Brokered the acquisition myself!” You beam.

Even if the original reasons behind it weren’t exactly the best….

-----------------


Once the three of you finish your meal, you return the bowls to Teuchi, bidding him farewell. It’s now early afternoon, so you still have some time left in the day….


1. Bid farewell to Fuu and try to find Itachi-sensei.

2. Bid farewell to Fuu and see somebody else (Who?)

3. Continue along with Fuu and Hinata, finding something else to do.

4. Go back to your room and train, instead.

After spending some more time together, you decide that you and Hinata should probably go find Itachi-sensei. It’s your duty as his genin to see to his well being, after all.

“Fuu, we’ll let you get back to your work- Hinata and I are going to go find our sensei. Be sure to come see me before you leave, alright?” You say, bidding farewell to your friend.

“Of course! Fuu is looking forward to seeing everyone in Takigakure again- but I’ll miss my new friends too. Chomei will want to say goodbye as well! Seeya later, Tsuki!” She says, before taking off into the sky.

“She’s certainly full of energy.” Hinata says with a smirk on her face.

“She’s infectious.” You say with a smile.

“Now, let’s go cheer up Itachi-sensei!”

Hinata nods, and the two of you head towards the Hokage office building.

----------

File: Sad Itachi2.jpg (28 KB, 828x716)

Although the top of the building was destroyed during the attack, most of the office building remains intact- and since Itachi-sensei is the head of ANBU, it only makes sense that this would be the place to start looking for him.

Getting direction from the young woman working the front desk, you learn Itachi has been in his office nearly non-stop- having meals brought to him, occasionally even sleeping there. While you’re certain he has a lot of work to do, this isn’t healthy; as you intend on letting him know.

It takes a few minutes to reach his office, which is a floor below the Hokage’s office. The door is shut- but he isn’t going to keep you out that easily! Knocking three times, you not-so patiently wait for a response.

“...Come in.” a voice says from behind the door.


He… sounds awful.

You open the door, letting Hinata and yourself into his office- and nearly run into a filing cabinet. The entire room is arranged to face Itachi’s desk, which itself is covered in paperwork.

“Sensei! Your loyal genin are here to cheer you up!” You announce, navigating the maze.

You’re able to see his face as you do so- and he looks almost worse than he sounds.

I thought Danzo said it hadn’t affected him….?

“Ah, girls. It’s nice of you to visit me- I’d planned to try and get out and see you, but things have been a bit… hectic.” He says with a weak smile, gesturing to the paperwork.

“What is all this, sensei?” Hinata asks.


“ANBU files, potential scouts, field reports from the remaining teams… I’ve also updated the master copy of the Bingo Book, though Anko hasn’t come to take it get new issues made from it, yet. She’s been making sure I eat, though, so I can’t complain too much.” He says, sighing.

“Sensei, we-” You start.

“Thank you, girls. I know how I must look right now- but this is how I grieve. I’ve lost both my father and one of my mentors, over the course of a few days…. I need to do what I can to make sure ANBU and Konoha stay on track- it’s what father would want…. what Minato would want. Captain Kakashi and I will do whatever it takes to steer the ship in his absence.” He says, cutting you off.

“Captain?” Hinata inquires.

“Ah- I’ve slipped and called him that a few times recently. When I first joined the ANBU, Kakashi was my team’s captain. We’ve been through much together, and when the position opened it was Kakashi, who himself was one of the Fourth’s students, who recommended me for the promotion to head of ANBU. He’s been checking up on me as well, though I suppose it’s only him watching over me. He lost his father young, and understand the pain more than most, I think.”

“...Sorry to spill my guts to you like this, I know it’s not like me. I couldn’t face Sasuke…. Not like this. He’d been trying to get father to let me back into the clan, and now, I’m sure with him as head, he’ll do it no matter what the rest of them think. I… I should be there for him. I should be guiding him, and yet..."

Itachi leans back in his chair, staring at the ceiling.

His pain cuts you like a knife.

He needs somebody to help him…

You can be that somebody. You need to help him…


Before you think any better of it, before you fill your head with doubts-

You run to him, taking him in your embrace.

“Itachi-sensei….. It’s not your fault.”

He looks at you, his eyes slightly sunken from lack of sleep.

“Tsuki….”

Before you can respond, Hinata hugs him from the other side. When had she….?

“She’s right, sensei. Please… do not punish yourself.”

“.....................................”


Itachi laughs. It’s a dry, raspy thing, unlike the ones you’d grown so used to hearing.

“Truly, I’ve fallen far. Girls…. Thank you. I…. I’ll go see Sasuke. I should not make my loyal genin worry so, should I?”

Slowly, he stands. Both of you release him, and he rests a hand on both of your heads.

“Seems I’ve been blessed by the company of a pair of strong women- truly… thank you.”

You let Itachi pass as he leaves, the complement hanging in your chest. As he closes the door behind him, you look down at his desk to see a single piece of paper:

Overall, it was pretty rough. Two Biju, along with Suna and the Akatsuki- even if their leadership didn't use their full power, it was enough to take Konoha to their limit.

Well if anyone is gonna have the most quality mask, it should be Tsuki. Yes I know that isn't the point, but I'll be damned if Tsuki has to wear some common ANBU's mask.

Either have the nose as a simple ridge, or have the end of it meld back into the mask frame.

Pretty good.

If we pick a baku mask, this is what it should look like.

>>889494
There's no real point to making the mask with more than a simple ridge. It'd make it harder to make and much easier to break if we had it actually come off of the mask.

Meh, Canon Naruto was capable of destroying the universe at his apex.

I always found that hilarious, as the running theme of the serious was that hard-work would surpass raw genius and strength, and then it turns out the "Hard Work" is inheriting the powers and memories of his ancient Quarter-Alien past-life and then further empowered by his Half-Alien God-being of a father.
>>
>>889681
Well, Might Guy beating the ever loving shit out of Ten-Tailed Madara still qualifies, I would think, seeing as he's the son of the Eternal Genin whose only redeeming qualities were his optimistic personality and his aptitude for opening the gates (which anyone can theoretically do, the difficulty aside).

Still, your point about it being overshadowed by powers derived from bloodlines and genetics is quite valid.
>>
>>889681
>>889858
"Hard work" was never the theme of Naruto, that's Lee's thing. Naruto was all about perseverance, "A Shinobi Endures". In that light the ENTIRE STORY is Naruto endlessly moving forward no matter how little hope or chance he has of doing something. It's about never giving up even when all is lost, and that's what Naruto does.
>>
>>889881

The "Shinobi is written the same as Endure" faggotry came much, much later.

From the start it was about Hard work and determination, the LOSER and frankly stupid guy ending up equal with the talented genius because he worked harder.

This is Kishimoto you are talking about, the dude who forgot to give Hinata's brats the Byakugan until he was called out on it.

I think they might work if you did the ears as part of the color scheme or alternatively they were along the side of the mask - image related.

That tapir trunk looks horrible so far in every iteration.

>>891017
Why waste a perfectly good plotline, is my logic.

Kaguya is slowly warming up to us, and it's quite possible that we'll be able to sway her from her views in this timeline. Naturally, if things fall through and she goes full moon hitler then we'll put her down, but I don't think we should resign ourselves to that outcome when the alternative isn't out of the question.
>>
>>891017
I'll grant that it's better than a character with no cohesive theme, I'm just not sure ANBU is were we should maintain it overtly.

Rabbits are fine and not too overt I think, and Tapirs got that dream/night time guardian vibe.
>>
>>891067
But, why limit ourselves with a theme?
>>
why can't moon themes ever be mentioned without the instant kneejerk against it? can't we keep the summoning thing (that Tsuki may or may not be planning to do IC??? I dunno how Wargle wants the thread to relate to Tsuki's actual thought process) separate from other topics, that might maybe want to use the moon or tigers/turtles/birb/dwagon, since, you know, the moon and the four beasts are useful, popular symbols for things other than one side of a summon debate?
>>
>>891104
The knee jerk reaction was because people kept on pushing the moon on others which then led to a massive sperg war with both sides making statements that make absolutely no sense

I personally just got tired of both sides shilling and just wish that they would shut the fuck up

Having no preference on whether we use a rabbit or a baku mask. I would like to point out that the addition of the nose section on the baku would allow for the inclusion of some form of rebreather or filter similar to those in the lovely desert ops masks we had created prior. Also for people concerned about a rabbit mask having ears that can be grabbed, they can easily be construct in a way which would cause them to snap off easily should the need arise, maybe even acting as a possible backup weapon.
>>
>>892190
It would be a Tapir mask, not Baku. Baku has tusk. Yume is our little tuskless dream guardian.

I like the idea of integrating the desert masks we had improvised earlier into our ANBU mask, though there's no reason why doing so has to be limited to the tapir mask.

As for the rabbit ear weapons, it could be useful, but having easily-grabbed ears break off into weapons might just give our opponent an edge in a bad situation. Personally, I think it's safer to either simply have them snap off easily or have them short and out of the way so they can't be grabbed.

Personally, I think people are focusing too much on mere mortal hand to hand combat, most Shinobi go for raw damage in combat with their super-human capabilities.

So tsuki needs to learn a third element and some restraining jutsu. Earth release maybe?

>>893909
Why not air? Danzo can teach it to her since he's right there, and it can directly enhance the stellar release even further.

If things continue the way they're going Danzo might be very very busy.
>>
>>893941
Anons seem to want full sneak mode when doing anbu shit, in which case you don't want to do things that give away your identity.

On the other hand, as far as fighting with a team goes, we have nori who has an affinity for air.
>>
>>893941
Air is pretty shitty, it combos with fire, but we don't really need it.

Earth has a LOT of utility jutsu and helps our "coverage"

>>894029
Certain earth techniques also combo with fire.

Hey, is there a reason why Itachi can't be the next Hokage?

Obviously he wasn't an option in canon, but as the head of ANBU in this timeline I'd imagine he'd be up there with Tsunade and Danzo as options for the Fifth.
>>
I'm still suggesting we start to make use of our wealth and dads gadgets big style. Stellar burns through our reserves and weapons use none. Have some Senbon guns, bombs (proper ones not tags), poison stuff and so on.

If we do this plus one more nature (personally I suggest earth to cover our own elemental weaknesses). We will then have most bases covered.

Honestly, it annoys me how this perfectly good idea is consistently getting brought up and promptly forgotten.

Boosting our tech strengthens our ability to fight without our chakra, and as the crush clearly demonstrated, pulling everything out of our bag of tricks can and will drain us dry, and we can't really do squat right now without our chakra pool. Our taijutsu is resoundingly average, and we absolutely cannot use anything recognizable like the Kiba if we're going to be undertaking black ops (be they ANBU or ROOT) for Konoha, so we should instead invest in technology to bolster our non-chakra combat.
>>
>>894529
Man, some guys really do hate the swords huh, it's called scrolls my man.

You can summon the Kiba with a scroll and only use them when you need to really kill someone. Not using them at all is ridiculous
>>
>>894596
Hell we might be able to combine them with some Norihimie tech and turn them into Lighting generations.

Anbu Tsuki calls down a storm.
>>
>>894611
....They can already do that with rain. Which we can make
>>
>>894630
Right. We may not need to make rain if we use tech. And we can hide the fact that we're using the Kiba if they're re purposed.
>>
>>894638
Just stop dude, we can ADD tech to our arsenal sure, but re-purposing the kiba is fucking retarded.
>>
>>894674
I disagree. We're not allowed to use them on natives to the village and they're a dead give away.

If they're re-tooled it we're technically allowed to use them and they won't be as obvious if at all recognizable.
>>
>>894638
I'm willing to bet we'll have to choose, chunin and Kiba or ANBU route. not both.
>>
>>894696
Why would Kiba be locked to Chunin?

That doesn't make any sense. It seems entirely arbitrary.
>>
>>894693
>We're not allowed to use them on natives to the village

That is not a negative, and if we kill the person we're fighting with while using them the dead giveaway doesn't fucking matter.

>>894696
Nah fampai
>>
>>894638
I'd be good with this.

It's just that having Kiba out and obvious is a very bad thing for any sort of black op, but otherwise I have no problem with having and using it in general.

>>894674
Why is it retarded?

It's just a sword. A sword with lightning chakra that we might be able to use for other purposes. And a very famous sword that anybody who knows about it could not fail to recognize if they saw it.
>>
>>894706
He's not wrong, wargle said they were locked behind chunin. But there's not a rule that says becoming chunin means we can't be anbu. Chunin is literally a rank
>>
>>894720
Repurposing typically means destroying, we'd be losing whatever made them special in the first place. Which is fucking retarded, they easily the second most powerful blade behind samehada and quite literally the sharpest swords in the setting.
>>
>>894715
If the Kiba aren't seen and it's just a user skilled with lighting it's different.

>>894730
Then I worded that incorrectly. What I'm saying is why on earth would Tsuki be suddenly stripped of the Kiba if she was inducted into the Anbu? It doesn't make sense.

We've trusted you with a powerful weapon, and in fact think you would be great for our best agents! So you can't be trusted with this weapon.
>>
>>894742
I should've quoted the other guy, I was correcting him.

My bad
>>
>>894741
Obviously we shouldn't destroy the Kiba, but that doesn't mean we can't just hook them up to electrodes or something to power some tech.

Off the top of my head I was thinking something like Shriek from batman beyond, just swap out sound for lighting.
>>
>>894774
Hmmm, I don't think it could work well.

The metal they're made of is special in some weird way and I don't think you could make it work like an electrode.

Don't forget they're also the only melee weapons that can channel stellar chakra
>>
>>894805
We don't know if it will work or not and if we're going Anbu we'd really be better noff not using Stellar because Tsuki is so far the only person who can.
>>
>>894805
You don't know until you try though.

We don't yet have a reason to assume that it can't be done because we know so little about the Kiba and how the lightning chakra interacts with proper electricity.

That said, I'll bring up the old point about how Sasori's thread spinners are clear evidence that sufficiently advanced tech can in fact manipulate chakra reliably and effectively, so it's not a stretch to suppose that the proper tech may be able to obtain electrical energy from the Kiba.
>>
>>894837
The Kiba may not generate electricity but it appears that they increase control over/magnifying it.

Tsuki's chakra would probably still be the primary source she draws from, but she may have increased power/finer control.
>>
>>894825
Oh, I meant out of anbu disguise. Obviously we wouldn't be running around using it on covert missions.

>>894837
They don't generate electricity, they channel it. And only when being wielded, which makes the electrode idea kind of odd.
>>
>>894868
I don't care if we use them openly out of anbu.

I was saying when we act sneaky like with whatever animal mask we get I want to still use the kiba in some supplemental fashion and hopefully swap to using lighting chakra over stellar so we don't out Tsuki.
>>
>>894850
>>894868
If the Kiba doesn't produce power then we may still be able to use it to turn our own chakra into power, though this is admittedly becoming increasingly convoluted.

Either way though, the initial point that it shouldn't be used on covert ops still stands. I've got no problem with using it when we aren't being sneaki breeki (and indeed, I hope we get it for the amplifier bonus), but tech is the better investment when it comes to strengthening our abilities in black ops where the Kiba are unlikely to be an option.

So, go the TenTen route and pack lots of stuff in seals to carry as equipment?

Ideas: Ranged weapons, melee weapons, armor or fullbody suits for different environments, extra explosives that are not limited to seals(but can be enhanced by seals), utility stuff like traps, ropes/wires, extra medikits + soldier pills, and

Ranged weapons: things like shuriken, kunai, and needles are usually used as ammo for ranged attacks, and are thrown at super-fast speed by ninjas with supernatural strength, so normal launchers don't have enough speed to make them worth it for powerful ninjas. But, if ninjas are so strong, why can't they use something like a crossbow with extremely high pull to fully make use of that strength, and launch heavy/explosive/other projectiles silently at the speed just below speed of sound. Also, what about a railgun? It's far simpler in principle and to make than other electro-magnetic weapons such as coilguns, and could use her lightning chakra for extra firepower.

melee weapons: the Kiba lightning swords are definitely going to be ours, but what else could be used? cuz in the end, they're too recognizable if we want to stay hidden and anonymous amongst the ANBU. Maybe lighting-conducting gauntlet with extendable claws? to taze and/or stab silently with minimal sound and light. That or just a pair of trench knives that can conduct lightning, for and even smaller and more compact weapon, but less armored protection for the hand and wrist that the gauntlet can give.

armor/suits: Tsuki designed on her own, using some inspiration here and there, a sand/dust mask to use in deserts. It's brilliant, and will be incorporated into future ANBU masks. Why not go for more? swimming gear with oxygen tanks to go underwater for missions in the land of the mist, or other wet places. Heat-resistant suits with air-conditioning/phase-shift cooling system to keep the body cooler in dangerously hot places. Full body armored suit, with built-in wound-sealing foam* dispensers, to keep her better protected than ever when mobility is less of a concern than protection. Sneak suit that helps to make every contact with a surface more silent, and is camouflaged with a non-reflective color that makes it much harder to pick up in the dark. This is all not yet including the chakra armor the snow guys used, and I'm not sure if practical power-armor can be developed yet at all.

Utility + explosives: For the stuff I described in the fullbody amor, we could invent the biofoam. It would stop bleeding at puncture site, numb pain, but not actually heal wounds. Not sure how hard it would be to invent, but it would be useful for first aid at least when medi-nins are crazy rare. Other things like different kind of bombs, such as simple big explosions, or air-fuel bombs for bunkers and the like, or gas bombs to neutralize with lethal or non-lethal means, or smoke and flashbangs. Traps, wires, extra medikits, soldier pills, and all other gear can be included.

“Tsuki, what are you doing…..?” Hinata whispers.


Without even realizing, you had began to reach for the paper. Was it curiosity? The overpowering desire to read this report on yourself?


Hand still outstretched, your eyes meet Hinata’s. She looks concerned, but seems to be somewhat curious herself.


Who else is being considered among your peers? Had ANBU really been hit that hard? Itachi-sensei might not exactly be forthcoming with this kind of sensitive information….

He might have he's exhausted. Also it might be a test to see if Tsuki is a good enough operative to snoop when snooping is warranted.

How is snooping warranted? The head of Anbu sees his students in his office, talks with them, leaves while they remain, and just happens to leave paperwork concerning one or both of them out on the desk?

>3. Leave with Hinata. You don’t want to breach Itachi-sensei’s trust.

If it is a test, it would be a test of loyalty. ANBU can't be willing to put their own interests ahead of the nation, no matter how harmless it may seem.

Remember, we will likely be expected to remain ignorant of specific secrets other agents have been trusted with if we join ANBU, as torture can't pry out information that isn't there.

No- it wouldn’t be right.

“C’mon Hinata, let’s go.” You say, using your outstretched hand to grab Hinata’s.

“Ah- alright, Tsuki-hime.” She replies, following you out of Itachi’s office.

As the two of you walk down the hallway leading to the stairwell, you cannot shake the feeling that you’re being watched…. But by whom?

------------


As you leave the Hokage’s offices, you notice the sun has begun to dip in the sky- you’ll need to go and meet Danzo soon.

Hinata takes this opportunity to head back to the compound, after bidding you farewell.

“Off to meet Shimura-san, then? I’ll see you at home- try not to stay out too late!” She says, her smile bright as the evening sun.

“See you there, Hinata. Don’t worry, there isn’t too much trouble for me to get into.” You respond, mirroring her smile.

As she heads south down Konoha’s main road, you turn northward- towards the Hokage monument, damaged as it is. Somehow during the fighting, the 3rd and 4th Hokage’s heads had been damaged- most of it seems to be surface level, however, as the monuments still stand.

As you begin to approach the stairs heading up the mountain, though, you can’t help but wonder- what exactly does Danzo want to give you- and why do you need to meet in private?

You suppose you’ll just have to wait and see.

---------------


By the time Danzo arrives, evening has always fully become night. You’d taken to picking about the ruins of the manor, though most everything had been destroyed. To your surprise, your father had taken the destruction pretty well, and when hearing your laments on losing the house, he decided it was time for some fatherly advice.

“Trinkets are trinkets, Tsuki. There is nothing in the house more valuable than our memories- and those memories haven’t been lost. We’ll rebuild our home, and continue to make new memories. Besides- Maru collected a few things before taking shelter in the basement. I think you’ll be happy to see what remains.” He said, flashing that trademark smile.

You miss him, even though he’s only been gone a few days- although you suspect the thought of nearly losing him, coupled with the death you’ve witnessed is magnifying those feelings....


Danzo’s arrival shakes you from those thoughts- like a flame burning through the morning fog.

“We’ve had men search the rubble, Tsuki. Not much left to find, I would think.” He says, not unkindly.

“Easy for you to say- all of your things were safe underground!” You pout.

Danzo’s face eases into a small smile, and the two of you walk over to the iron shutter covering the entrance to the basement.

>>895502
But it's still a toy that uses chakra to work. The common people that don't/can't use chakra surely couldn't, rich or not, since it would be useless to them. Ninjas are a only a percent of the total population, and most of them are using what money they have to restock ammo and explosives, maintain equipment, and buy better gear. Only a small fraction of them then would be able to enjoy it, unless you make the toys extremely cheap to produce and sell anyways.

Walking through the passages of the basement wordlessly, you feel a small bit of comfort. Even these darkened halls are part of your home- and this part still survives. You haven’t lost it all- and Father is right. You can, and will, rebuild.

Danzo opens the door to his room, then steps aside, allowing you to enter.

“Your gifts are inside, although I have some other things to show you as well.” The old shinobi says, his small smile widening slightly.

On Danzo’s end table, you see several things- two headbands, a ring, and Yume, as clean and pristine as you left him.

Running over to the table, you pick up….


1. The Konoha headband

Why? It represent out most treasured memories and the item that belonged to us the longest. Yes Mother's headband is important, but we only got it recently. the same for Ebisu's headband, which while is significant, it's the lesson that we learned from it that was more important. The Ring is just a mystery box which we can open later, but it's the Doll that she had from her childhood that was with her the longest, and had the most memories with, and thus should be the most important to her.

It's a pragmatic choice, considering it gives us control over whether to deal with the Beasts and Kaguya each night.

You lift your small companion from the table and give him a light squeeze.

He squeaks indignantly, and you laugh.

“Didn’t mean to leave you behind, old friend. I’m glad you’re safe.”

His button eyes don’t show much emotion- but you know he understands.

From behind you, Danzo’s laughter echos. “You’ve always treasured Yume, and I’m glad to see that hasn’t changed.” He says- is he teasing you?

“Hmph- Yume is my oldest companion, and has never wavered in his duty.” You pout.

Gently setting him down, you inspect the remaining items-

Ebisu-sensei’s headband, which sits nearby to Mother’s. You’re relieved they are safe- these things are precious mementos of those passed- and while memories might fade, as long as you have these keepsakes, they can have a home to inhabit.

The final item takes you a moment to recognize- and the character inside of it only names it’s color, not an owner or organization. However…

“The ring of the Akatsuki member, Deidara?” You question aloud, inspecting it closer.

“It was recovered along with his severed arm. The arm itself was most interesting, so we’ve kept it preserved below- the ring, however, is a good proof of your kill. From what we know, these rings are unique among each member, and they’ve never been seen without them. If you intended to claim the bounty Iwa set on him, that should suffice.” Danzo explains.

Makes sense- although you suppose now isn’t really the time to worry about it.

As you set the ring down, Danzo presents you with a final gift-

A key.

“A copy of the key to facility below. I promised I’d give it to you when you become a chunin- but that prospect may be a bit farther off, given current circumstances. In my mind, you’ve earned it.” He says.

Taking the key from him, you take a closer look. It’s a small, plain thing, unlike many of the things you once owned- but it fills you with a sense of pride none of those other possessions could ever approach.

“Thank you, Danzo.” You say, pocketing the key.

“No- thank you, Tsuki. Our discussions, when viewed through the lens provided to us by this attack has shown me that you were correct.” He responds.

You cock your head to one side inquisitively, and Danzo elaborates.

“We- I- must take more proactive measures to protect Konoha. Being set aside all these years left me disconnected from the goings-on at large, and let our enemies march right to our doorstep. We can condemn Minato’s policies all we like- but the man is likely dead. Disparaging the dead is not productive, and serves no purpose. Instead, actions must be taken- actions to ensure this never happens again.”

True enough- privately posturing about the policies is a feel-good thought process, nothing more.


“And? What did you have in mind?” You ask.

“ROOT, as an organization, furthered the defense of Konoha by undertaking actions that the Hokage would not- or could not- authorize. Hiruzen’s years of service as Hokage were most peaceful years Konoha experienced- and while my departed friend inspired loyalty, ROOT was always in his shadow, taking the necessary actions to preserve that peace. With the great tree of Konohagakure under threat like never before, it is time for those of us hidden among its roots to resurface, and undertake the duty denied to us.” Danzo answers.

“Our people have been waiting, Tsuki. Among the bravest, most intelligent and skilled shinobi, there are those that knew and accepted what we were, and what me must become. I will do everything within my power to guarantee Konoha’s safety- no matter if the next Hokage agrees, or not.” He continues.


“ROOT will live again.”

I could easily see a situation where, being caught taking orders for ROOT inside Anbu, Tsuki has to prove her loyalty by apprehending and bringing in Danzo and giving up other operatives, only to later reveal the whole thing was a ploy to get Tsuki even closer to the Hokage and their secrets (assuming that isn't Danzo), and be an even more effective ROOT agent above suspicion.

I honestly agree with this.

Danzo is great and all, but he's far too radical to truly make a good Hokage. He's better as a general who's bound to the will of his superior than he is as the man calling the shots.

Realistically it's probably going to be Tsunade again. Since they'll still use the same reason, A.K.A need someone strong and well trusted to lead Konoha again, And to give Tsunade a reason to stay in the village.

ROOT is coming back

Konoha will never be that vulnerable again

>>896136
On one hand, she was extremely leery of ROOT in the canon, and saw them as dangerous radicals.

On the other hand, this version of ROOT conceded to Minato's decision without just deciding to go underground with everything, so they're arguably more reasonable than they were in the canon. Perhaps Tsunade can be convinced to reconsider. I mean legitimately convinced, not "convinced"

>>896148
Minato was literally the whole reason why everything got ironed out with the Uchihas instead of Itachi having to murder everyone so nobody would know of their treachery.
>>
>>896159
He's also the reason we're in this mess in the firstplace

Seeing how Minato help stop the Uchiha clan from slaughtering everyone, he wasn't weak. Just made a mistake albeit big one.

Danzo opens the door to the elevator, and the two of you continue the conversation on the ride down.

“Rebuilding will not be easy, of course. Many in the village’s most powerful strata still distrust me- though even within their ranks, there are those sympathetic to our cause- and realize the truth. We will need to take time to reach out those awakened to our truth- and at the same time, rebuild our infrastructure. In a way, fate has aided us- Konoha must rebuild, and your father is a major, if not the major financier of it’s reconstruction. With his aid, we can build safe-houses, bunkers and barracks throughout Konoha, linked by hidden pathways. The literal roots beneath our feet, aiding in our defense. Konoha’s rebirth is upon us, Tsuki- there has never been a more opportune time to right it’s previously crooked growth.” Danzo explains.

“Glad you’ve taken our discussions to heart, Danzo. However, you did mention something that I’ve been thinking about- the next Hokage.” You respond. “What would be stop Konoha’s leaders from simply disbanding ROOT as Minato did?”

“I’ve been giving that consideration as well- either we must take more precautions than I had considered previously to conceal ourselves, or we ensure that a malleable or sympathetic Hokage is chosen.” He answers.

“You intend to rig the selection?” You ask.

“Truly guaranteeing the selection is likely impossible. However, we are in a strong position to influence the outcome. The selection process is overseen by the Daimyo, after all, and knowing your father, this will be a chance he would scare let pass him by. It’s simply a matter of guiding his choice, and those of the other electors.” Danzo answers.


“Who usually participates?” You inquire.

“It’s never been called upon before, but I would expect the clan heads to be there, along with other prominent shinobi. Your father might even talk his way into being an elector as well, if the Daimyo permits it.”

The idea of your Father voting on selecting the next Hokage is amusing- and likely tantalizing for him. His frustration in being left out of village affairs isn’t exactly a secret.

“Regardless, capturing the hearts and minds of the people is something we’d best leave to your father, for now."

The elevator shudders to a stop, and both of you step off the platform.

If anything Dad would be the one to sell the Nara on ROOT. Being a genius on their level, just in a different way. But it all comes to the Akamichi, if they are sold then the Nara would be if 2/3 of their ally clans are. If not then we probably can't get the Nara.

You nearly gasp in surprise looking down into the facility- there are other people here!

“Aburame clansmen, sworn to secrecy. The Aburame clan has long been an ally of mine, even after the disbanding of ROOT. For the time being, the clan matriarch has opted to align with me in this matter- although she has requested to meet the, *ahem*: “Scion of the Norihime” before committing to backing the restoration. What she wants from you, it’s hard to say.” Danzo explains.

The Aburame- you’re somewhat embarrassed to say that you know so little about one of Konoha’s most powerful clans. Even during the attack, the Aburame were quick to align themselves with Danzo, and seemed to retain the proper respect for someone of his station. Their matriarch, however- you know almost nothing about her.

“For now, they are simply gathering resources to help the wounded, having re-opened several of the old tunnels. In time, though, this place will be the loci of the restoration process.” Danzo continues.

He turns to you- and smiles again.

“You look like you have questions, Tsuki. Please go ahead.”
You…


1. Ask about the Aburame Matriarch.

2. Ask about the potential Hokage candidates.

3. Tell Danzo about the ANBU profile, and ask for guidance.

personally I imagine the Nara having a much more complete knowledge of chakra natures, tactics, and shinobi related pursuits, while our dad is way more skilled in mechanics, engineering, and economic theory. Also I like to think they'd have some more respect to the more rational anfd explained reasonings of Yaru and Danzo than the emotion and mythic nature espoused by minato and hiruzen. Of course I could be wrong, because again I've been taking a lot of time getting intoxicated.

>>896332
She wasn't born into the Clan, Anon.

How's this for a general plan:

Secure the loyalty of as many of the clan heads as possible
Have Tsunade elected as Hokage
Use the unity of our clan heads on the matter of ROOT to pressure the new Hokage into reinstating ROOT as an official branch of ANBU
See Tsuki officially assigned to ROOT (perhaps after a period in ANBU)

This way, there's a balance of power between the Hokage and Danzo so neither side has too much influence over how things play out.

Danzo is great and some vigilance is necessary at this point, but having him as Hokage is giving him too much power. We don't want him to end up like he did in canon. Also, Kakashi's probably out because he'd probably deny ROOT anyways, having had a lot of influences from Minato.

“Could you tell me a little about the Aburame Matriarch?” You ask.

“Kōgōto Aburame- young Shino’s grandmother. An incredibly tough, calculating woman, who has always put her clan first- her own mother negotiated the Aburame joining with the Senju, Uchiha and Hyuga to form Konoha. Even as a child, she was an intricate webweaver, blackmailing and controlling people from the shadows. She’s among the most reliable shinobi I’ve ever met- as long her goals align with yours.” Danzo says.

“You knew her as a child?” You say- nearly laughing at the mental image of Danzo as a young kid.

“Our was one of the last generations to grow up before Lord Tobirama formalized the education system into the Konoha Academic system. As a result, most of our shared experiences as children are the result of her plans and scheming, rather than a classroom setting.” He explains further.

For a quick moment, Danzo seems conflicted, as if not entirely sure how to feel about this woman, even now.

It quickly passes, however, and he continues speaking.
“She’s obviously identified you as my protege- and someone who will be influential in Konoha’s future. Just… be careful- she’s not someone you want to be indebted to.” He finishes.

“Speaking from experience, Danzo?” You say with a smirk.

He lets out a sigh.

“Such things are long passed. Regardless, was there anything else? Danzo asks.

“Yes- Hinata and I visited Itachi-sensei as you suggested; everything went well, but there was something I figured I should tell you.”

He raises an eyebrow, but says nothing, waiting for your report.

“Among his paperwork were prospective ANBU Candidate reports- one of them had my name on it.” You confide.


Danzo takes a minute to absorb this information before responding.


“I expected you’d be getting an invitation soon. A promising shinobi, taught be the director of ANBU himself? I expect your friend Hinata may get one as well. From what I’ve seen, the ANBU ranks took heavy losses during the attack- surely Itachi is looking to recoup at least some of them, from the ranks of the younger shinobi. However- it isn’t an invitation, merely a profile of a prospective candidate. There are tests you will need to complete, and even once inducted, your instruction will continue. It’s a rigorous process, and generally only the elite are selected.”


He pauses a moment to consider something before speaking again:


“Though, induction at your age is quite rare- Itachi, and before him, Kakashi were selected, each eventually leading the organization for a while. Widening of the recruitment base is probably necessary, however.” He finishes.

“So, what do you think about me joining?” You ask earnestly.

“The skills you would learn would be invaluable, and even ROOT’s structure was based upon ANBU’s. However- ANBU is loyal to their leader, who is, in turn, loyal to their Kage. If you still wish to participate in the revival of ROOT, you may find yourself having a conflict of interest that may affect mission results.” He answers.

“I could work from within,so that we are aware of what the ANBU is working towards.” You offer.

“And betray your sensei? To be a spy in an organization of spies? I think highly of your potential, Tsuki, but to do such a thing well would require much of you- you would essentially need to lead a triple life. I fear it may be too much for you.” He retorts.

“I’ll speak plainly: I need the assistance of you and your father for the ROOT restoration to succeed. You needn’t take an active role within if you do not wish to- but I would like you to. Someone must lead it after I am gone, Tsuki. I would prefer that person be you.” Danzo admits.

You aren’t sure what to say- it seems a difficult choice is ahead of you, even now.

Welp, that's that I guess. he has clearly stated what advantages of joining ANBU would be, and all the disadvantages as well. But in the end, he needs our support, and he DOES want us to take an active roll in ROOT. So when we vote for it, I'd go for ROOT.

Not necessarily. If we can get a non-Danzo Hokage to formally reinstate ROOT, then everyone more or less gets what they want.

ROOTfags get to have Danzo do his thing and have Tsuki follow in his footsteps without conflicts of interest or having to worry about keeping things concealed from the Hokage.

ANBUfags are assured that the Hokage will keep everything copacetic so we don't accidentally step on Leaf ninja or ANBU toes or act against on our own people, and so we don't have to worry about keeping up double or triple agent bullshit within our own borders.

And even the Hokage wins to an extent by knowing what's going on in ROOT and being able to exert a limited measure of influence over its actions that never would have been an option if ROOT wasn't reinstated and just did its thing underground.

Also i've an idea. If Hinata is also among the ANBU selection if she is in ANBU and we go for ROOT together we can steer things to a better path, we can do the really, really dark shit and Hinata's ANBU move around in the light with the Hokage.

Even back in the single digit threads we specifically said we'd rather be the night to the day and Danzo said find someone you trust to be the day. We are the new Danzo, Hinata the new Hiruzen

Remind me again why are we going for ROOT in the first place? Is it just so we have a ninja army for the Norihime corp or just so we can be the black ops squad that can be disavowed by the government for when we have vested interests in certain hot spot areas?
>>
>>899892
kinda, but also personal beliefs, Dad and Dadzo are firm belives in Tobirama's style of things, there is no indervidual only the village. Hard choices and all that jazz. We've been pushing this angle since quest 1 and developing Tsuki's character.
>>
>>899892
To help restart the black-ops program that would do what normal ANBU are not willing to do, and to help protect Konoha when the Hokage isn't doing what is needed. Also, the ROOT army is NOT a private army for Norihime corp, and their goals should be to protect the whole of konoha, and not any specific group or person.

As this invasion has shown, the 4th's trusting and open approach to other people and groups has risks, risks that can result in catastrophic results for the population if not handled and prepared for properly. We want to help prevent similar things from happening ever again to Konoha. The Hokage can remain the nice person as a public figure, but we need an organization to give even more security than what the regular military and the ANBU are already ordered to do.
>>
>>899892
People just like the idea of being something more hardcore than even ANBU.

Really, my main concern with ROOT is if Danzo goes full tyrant and targets the Hokage for assassination again (not sure if that happened in this timeline though). ROOT has a history of targeting faithful Konoha officials whose beliefs conflict with their agenda anyway, so that's why some people are leery about just tossing everything in with ROOT; we don't want Konoha to turn into an authoritarian shithole.
>>
Tossing my hat in the ring here, I do like the idea of going both ROOT and ANBU, but recognize that would be ridiculously hard to keep our cover. So if the we do vote against going both, I'm all for helping Danzo head ROOT. We could totally be the moderating influence it needs.
