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're a Chunin of notable talent for your age. You're on your way back home after a successful mission.

Guys
We can totaly
Invent the gun

... And why would we do that?

No particular reason other than rule of cool and because we can
Would be pretty fucking useless unless it was a ninja gun

You, Kichiro, Ai and Usagi head back to the Stone Village. As the four of you are let through the gates, you're berated by a crowd of people angrily protesting Usagi's return. Kichiro angrily responds, yelling and shooting fire into the air. Some Stone village guards have to disperse the situation, and the protestors are sent home soon after. Kichiro gets berated by a guard, but it breaks out into a fistfight with the sentry soon on the ground from a severe headbutt.

Ai is holding Otozawa hostage. She has a kunai pressed to the base of his spine, and you three have decided to keep a bag over his head. His arms are also bound tightly.

Soon after, your friend is temporarily restrained by a coating of stone that springs up out of the ground. Usagi's squadmates break through the crowd and approach. The feminine Yu, and Kameyo. You don't recall seeing Kameyo, but you're positive she was present during the Chunin exams. She's tall, with dirty blonde hair. She's got a spear on her back, and holds up a handsign. She seems to be the one holding your friend in place for the moment, though it's pretty deserved. You grin. "Sorry about him, I hope it's not too much trouble. To be fair, we've got some good reason to be upset at the citizens here."

Yu crosses his arms, and groans. "That doesn't mean you can headbutt our guards."

Kichiro is seeing red at this point, and spits fire along the ground in front of him. More stone shoots up from his casing and closes his jaw.

Kameyo raises an eyebrow. "Is he always like this?"

Ai and you both nod. You grin. "It's actually a benefit whenever we can point him in the right direction."

Up to this point, Usagi has remained quiet. It's quite clear that he's ashamed of the whole situation, and doesn't particularly feel like talking about it. You decide to take the reigns as far as explanations go. "I'm sure you'll be sent a more detailed report once I return to the Hokage. But for now, you should know that the Jashinists have infiltrated your nation as well."

She visibly winces. "So, they're behind it all."

Usagi steps forward. "I'm sorry, you two. I felt like I had to do something, before more people died."

Yu doesn't seem to be impressed. "You sure you weren't just trying to keep your own hide from getting tanned?"

Nearby, you can almost sense Ai getting steamed. She's been silent so far, but you doubt she's one to let go of a grudge. She has a bit of a reason to not like Yu already.

Already someone with the ninja gun. Anzai from the Snow Village, fought him in the Chunin Exams.

During the finals he didn't use it though, challenged you to a Taijutsu only battle because he didn't want to advance and have to fight his waifu.
>>
>>1152869

Looking back, Kichiro is still struggling against his restraints. Part of you wishes your squad was better at social situations, but you suppose it's not all that important for ninja. "Well, I think he can explain it best from here. Like I said, the report that the Hokage will send in should convince your leaders of his innocence."

Kameyo nods. "Well, thank you for everything. Usagi, we need to go speak to the Tsuchikage immediately."

He frowns. "But I was hoping to get something to eat."

Yu nods. "It's a good idea, that."

Kameyo shakes her head, and grabs him by the hand. She starts to walk off, dragging him along. "There's no time! They're already mad at you, do you have any idea how much trouble this is going to-"

Initially, it looks as if he's in trouble, but he turns back and looks at you with a goofy grin. You smile back and wave, chuckling.

Kichiro's restraints crumble away, and the four of you head back to the Leaf Village.

Otozawa more or less remains silent, and immobile. You're all extremely careful to keep him tightly bound, however. You let him use the restroom and give him a minimal amount of food as you rest. He's been refusing to answer any questions or respond to small talk. You could just interrogate him, but you think you'll wait until you're given the go to by Naruto. It could also be possible Naruto would prefer him to be closely examined by a team of professional interrogators.

You're just past the border of the Stone, back in your country. It's late at night in your campsite, and you're getting ready to turn in for sleep. Kichiro and Ai are already in their bedrolls, and Otozawa is tied to a nearby tree.

As you're sitting there, looking at the fire, you begin to slightly nod off. The solitary crunch of a twig snaps you back into focus slightly, and you tense your body to stand. You can't move, though. A shadowy figure stepping through the bushes enters the light of the fire.

His skin is snow white, and hair raven black. He has snakelike eyes, much like Mitsuki, but there is no hint of a friendly face. Only a pure predatory gaze.

You can't move at all. You're being held in place by some sort of paralysis.

You only have the time to choose a single action.

>A. Orochimaru! What are you doing here?!
>B. Ai! Kichiro! Wake up!!!
>C. Let your body go limp, and slam your back to the ground. You might wake up Otozawa.

>A
OH FUCK

>>1152882
>C. Let your body go limp, and slam your back to the ground. You might wake up Otozawa.
If we're paralyzed we won't really be able to talk I assume
>>
>>1152882
>>A. Orochimaru! What are you doing here?!
Papa orochimaru is here to make us a real ninja
>>
>>1152882

>B. Ai! Kichro! Wake up!!!

Guys! Orochimaru came to visit! Dude! How's Mitsuki doing?
>>
>>1152882
>just give him the evil eye

Takeshi isnt the kind of ninja to start yelling guys.
>>
>>A. Orochimaru! What are you doing here?!
"OH SHIT IT'S PAPA ROACH!"
>>
>>1152882
>>B. Ai! Kichiro! Wake up!!!
>>
>>1152882
>>A. Orochimaru! What are you doing here?!
Son of a fucking bitch.

>>1152882
>>A. Orochimaru! What are you doing here?!

oh shit is he gonna try and recruit us?
I hope he does

You try to open your mouth to speak, but it's completely ineffectual. There's a soft, throaty scratching as you try to force it, but it doesn't work.

He keeps glaring at you. Frankly, it's all you can do to concentrate on what's actually happening. Much like seeing a mythical creature, or an extremely famous person, you're awe struck. Throughout your life you have constantly been informed of the various evils Orochimaru has committed. He's one of the most evil scientists and shinobi on the entire planet. One of the three legendary Sannin. Hell, he may not even be using a jutsu on you right now.

You could just be that frightened.

He walks forward and kneels, staring discerningly. He seems to be judging, gauging your reaction. "I've watched you for a short while now. Come, let's talk. I have some things I want to ask, but if we woke your allies, I'd have to kill them.."

He grabs you by the nape of your shirt, and pulls your stiff body to it's feet. You're totally helpless, and you feel a needle prick into your calf. Suddenly, everything goes dark.

When you wake up, you're in a completely dark cave. The stone floor is damp, and there are no lights save for the dim illumination of the stars from the entrance. You're extremely groggy from whatever he injected you with.

You can hardly see him, but Orochimaru is sitting across from you. "If you cooperate, I'll return you to your allies unharmed. If you don't, I'll bring them here one by one, showing the corpses of the last."

Gulping, you nod. You're trying to think your way out of the situation, but it's nearly inconceivable. There are few people in your village who could even fight this man, barring the Hokage and Sasuke.

>A. Why have you been watching me?
>B. What do you want?
>C. You're a monster. How do I know you won't kill me anyway?
>D. Write-in

Kek we have 0 chance of escaping if he wants to kill us

>>1153000
Cave is dark enough that you can't see anything but the pale impression of his face, and the dim light of the stars near the exit. You estimate that you're about ten meters away from the exit.

The stone floor is damp, and your back is against the rough wall.
>>
>>1152991
>B. What do you want?
>>
>>1153003
It doesn't hurt to check.

>>1153000

>>
>>1152991
>B. What do you want?
I really can't guess what he's be interested in. I mean we do know Mitsuki, but not very well. Maybe it' related to Shozuku? I imagine Orochimaru would be interested in a guy who became immortal at age 10.
>>
>>1153000
Supporting.

Good thinking.
>>
>>1153013
No, that'll be a sign of disrespect. We know how beast he is, and he knows we know how beast he is. That has no upsides.
>>
>>1153019
yeah you're probably right, i just wanted there to be mutual understanding that trying to recruit takeshi at least right now won't work.
>>
At once, you start to check your body. There doesn't seem to be any injuries, though your tools have been removed. All of your equipment, in fact. Bells, poisons, curatives, explosives, your Jet Sheath too. He seems to hear, or maybe see you rummaging around.

"Your equipment is near the camp. I have no use for those toys. If you leave here alive, they'll be yours again. So, are you going to cooperate?"

You look back at the pale face in the darkness. "Why have you been watching me?"

He chuckles. "It's not as if it was intentional. Originally, I was watching the strange cultist. Shozuku, whom you're quite familiar with by now. Tell me, is there a reason that you and him look identical?"

You shake your head. "No idea."

He doesn't respond for a few moments. "Since it seems you've chosen to cooperate, I suppose I can tell you more. I'm sure you know of my quest for immortality. The Jashinists brutes...Before they'd never been of interest. I'd thoroughly dissected and studied so many of their members, that this mythical power seemed to be complete fantasy. I suppose that it all began with Hidan."

You know this name as well. Hidan was a Jashinist member of the Akatsuki, and the killer of Asuma Sarutobi. You know that Orochimaru was also a part of the Akatsuki at one point.

Facts whirl through your mind at high speed, and you find yourself sweating. What does all of this mean? What does it have to do with you?

Orochimaru scoffs, causing you to flinch. "Gods. Preposterous. Or, so I had assumed. The revelations brought to us by Kaguya's invasion, other dimensions, it might have all seemed terrifying to the common shinobi. But, the implications..!"

He's talking about the last Shinobi War. The details of the final battle have been somewhat hidden, but you know that the Hokage and his allies were taken to other worlds to fight. He continues.

"What if gods weren't gods at all? But simply, more of these interdimensional beings. What if one could master the method of travelling through these gateways? Moving freely through all spaces and dimensions, why, possibly even time itself."

You choke out a few words. "What do you want? What does this have to do with me?"

He chuckles. "You? Nothing. You are...capable, but ultimately inconsequential. I was there that first night you met Shozuku. Truthfully, I could have taken Sarada for myself right then, but I would have hated to agitate Mitsuki too much. It's important to never play your hand too early, you know."
>>
>>1153072

You're staring in confusion. You want to ask how he could have possibly been there, but he's one of the greatest shinobi in the world. You know the answer already. If he doesn't want to be found, he won't be.

Orochimaru stands up, and walks over to you. He looks down, and bears down on you with incredible pressure. "I don't think it's mere coincidence that you look like that immortal monster of a child. Nor is it coincidence that he's your squadmate's twin brother. Throughout my very long life, I have seen the red ties of fate twist and turn endlessly. If you would follow me, I could help you defeat him. You know better than anyone the endless pain he's caused."

>A. You're no better!
>B. What do you mean you'd 'Take' Sarada? What was that about Mitsuki?
>C. How could you possibly help me? You're a monster!

>>
>>1153079
>B. What do you mean you'd 'Take' Sarada? What was that about Mitsuki?
does anyone else actually really want to join him
>>
>>1153079

>>1153093
I certainly dont.

don't outright reject him, just keep him talking
>>
>>1153079
>B. What do you mean you'd 'Take' Sarada? What was that about Mitsuki?
Let's not antagonize him any further. Try to gain as much information as possible.
Also
>D
"What's in it for you if I say yes? I sincerely doubt you're doing this out of the kindness of your heart."
>>
>>1153079

>>
>>1153079
>B
We don't want to shut him down but we don't want to straight up join him
Keep the option open
>>
>>1153093
I'm not against it, but that might turn the entire quest into hard mode, and it's already pretty intense
>>
>>1153079
Why do you want to fight them?
>>
>>1153116
>>1153090
Stop trying to antagonize him
>>
>>1153079

>>
>>1153079

>>1153086
This
>>
>>1153126
Yeah, I agree. We need to keep him talking, not offend him.
>>
guys, i want to join orochi too, but it is completely out of character for takeshi to forsake his whole life and all of his ideals for no other reason than lul orochis cool.Lets wait until something tragic happens to us to exemplify our weakness before we take the dark path to power.
>>
>>1153093
Could be interesting
If we go rogue that would be our first option, which is why i want to keep it open
>>
>>1153137
We choose what's in character
>>
>>1153137
No ones himing we should to straight out join him
>>
>>1153137
Takeshi is already super driven to defeat the Jashinists.
>>
>>1153079
>D
Fuck yea I'll join you. Let's party up!
>>
>>1153137
So far, we're just trying not to die and keep our options open. We haven't decided on anything, we're just trying to find out as much as possible.
>>
Mini, I swear to god if time travel is in the cards I'll hunt you down.
>>
Sure takeshi is friendly but he's never been established as an extremely good guy. I'm not sure he'd love the thought of leaving the village or whatever but it's not super out of character. He's more just concerned with getting stronger and keeping his team safe.
>>
>>1153137
At the moment joining him is insane. What does he have to offer us besides not murdering us? If he doesn't bring something new to the table the best he could do is a blackmail arc where we have to weigh our loyalty to Konoha against our desire to live. That could be interesting.

Then again, I'm not sure that would really be a difficult decision for Takeshi, he's already putting his life and the lives of his friends on the line for Konoha.

All in all, this needs more before it's just a weird creepy meeting in the woods that makes no sense. I'm prepared for some bombshells to make this interesting.
>>
>>1153144
>>1153151
>>1153159
if you guys really want to work with him or join him and theres a majority consensus on it im not gonna bitch about it, i just want there to be some kind of proper build up for it
>>1153171
and yeah i get you but still...
>>
>>1153184
>loyalty to Konoha against our desire to live
If it's our life for our friends', then I can see Takeshi sacrificing himself.
>>
>>1153079
>A. You're no better!
>B. What do you mean you'd 'Take' Sarada? What was that about Mitsuki?

oh boy, snek coming to meet us in the woods, this isn't creepy as fuck
>>
>>1153195
Ah, a sort of psuedo-Sasuke "damn myself to save everyone else" deal. That could work, but of course trying to hide that from Naruto would be really fucking hard given his combined emotion-reading powers and extensive personal experience with this EXACT situation.
>>
>>1153215
We need one of those Naked Gun condoms for all our interactions with Naruto then. Ninshu is a hell of a drug.
>>
>>1153079
>D. Do you always kidnap interesting young boys and whisk them away to your mysterious cave for a "private conversation," or am I just that pretty?

Call out the pedosnek!
>>
The sweat runs down your face. You wipe your eyes to clear away the stinging sensation, and you notice your heart is beating rapidly as well. It's all you can do to not freak out. You have to keep your mind off of what this man has done, and instead focus on the current situation, and the future.

"W-What do you mean, 'take' Sarada?"

He grins. "Her body. I have extended my life through a form of immortality. It could be considered to be even greater than the Jashinist's immortality, though it doesn't work in quite the same literal fashion. But that is truly no concern of yours."

"You said something about Mitsuki, too?"

He chuckles. It's low, and drawn out. Everything about the way he moves and responds sends shivers into your body. He just doesn't seem human in the slightest. "My son. He's a genetically superior creature. He has yet to master his 'ability', but I'm sure that will come with time. Yet again, that doesn't concern you."

He leans forward. "You've already told me what I wanted to know. You've nothing to do with that cultist boy's face, so I've little use for you at the moment. I have no need to answer your questions."

You gulp. "I-I...You have to tell me more."

He seems visibly taken aback by your sudden demand. "Oh? Why do I /have/ to do that?"

You blink. "I'd never swear allegiance to you. But..how would you help me?"

Orochimaru's grimace turns back to a grin. "You've more determination than I thought. Yes...maybe you would be suitable. Right here, right now, I could give you my mark."

His head extends down from his neck, floating in front of your face. He hisses, and you wince. "You could have unimaginable power. Something to level the playing field with that boy. You wouldn't even need to swear your allegience. Simply accept my mark, and I'll be on my way. Kekekeke.."

His mark? "What the hell are you talking about?"

You sit up a little more sharply, and place your hands against the stone wall behind you. You're ready to leap away if he makes a sudden move. He responds in a slow, deliberate voice. "That's enough questions, child. What is your answer?"

>A. Accept Orochimaru's mark, and receive unimaginable power.
>B. Decline

Oh yes I keep forgetting about bold and italics. I'll start using them.

As for whether or not it'll conflict, it will not. They're both odd numbered seals.

Would there be a problem with the Underdog Seal sealing the Curse Mark's sage chakra?

"Sorry. I know it's the most practical option, but this is just too shady. You kidnap me while I'm guarding my teammates, you threaten my team, you're being way too mysterious when it would be so much easier for you to be straight with me here and wait half a day for us to get back to the village and do this above board. Besides, if you just *gave* me power, my job just wouldn't be fun anymore."

Just so we're on the same page here, what is Orochimaru's relationship with the Leaf? Did Naruto friendshiptherapytalk no jutsu at him eventually? I assumed that was the case given Mitsuki's a leaf ninja and Nalt's gonna nalt, but...
>>
>>1153231
>B. Decline
too many strings attached with that shit

Those that wield the devil's toys are brought by degrees into his service. We're standing in front of the metaphorical devil too and we know there is no such thing as a free lunch.

Our purpose in mind is to beat the jashinists. Takeshi is borderline obsessed with it
>>
>>1153280
And were also obsessed with getting stronger
But not through hand outs
>>
>>1153295
He's a fugitive of the leaf. Nalt and Saskue would kill him on sight.
>>
>>1153304
He also sort of has a complex about hard work and earning his successes.
>>
>>1153313
Has Mini stated that? He does seem different than the Boruto manga.

And what about Kabuto?
>>
>>1153304
Not really. Going by the philosophy we gave the owls, they're more of a particularly tricky puzzle. Takeshi just has an unhealthy obsession with solving puzzles.
>>
>>1153312
>But not through hand outs
exactly, taking a hand out for free power is anathema to takeshi's whole thing, his better than the prodigies because he works harder than them, and takeshi takes alot of pride in that
>>
This is the drawback of fanfic quests. When OOC meta knowledge turns an important character defining vote into what's basically a non-vote. I'm fine with not joining him but this could have been a lot more interesting.
>>
>>1153322
Yup, he confirmed that last thread.
>>
>>1153333
It's really Takeshi's character preventing most people from joining him/accepting the Seal. Also, it looks like at least some of Orochimaru's crimes are common knowledge to ninja.
>>
>>1153333
don't be too bummed anon, we're definitely gonna get another chance to join orochi, and we'll probably have an IC reason to do so.
>>
Can someone quote what was voted for when we got owls?
>>
>>1153333
Orochimaru is still Satan ere
Takeshi likes earning his power and success and hates handouts

IT's kinda really ooc for him to take it.

To be honest I mostly wanted to accept just to get away from the status quo of all naruto quests where we just train and do light SOL stuff at the village and occasionally go on missions. It'd be refreshing to have a strong enough personal priority to break that mold. This is still one of the better written naruto quests though, I'm not trying to talk shit.
>>
>>1153349
I know exactly what you mean, but I'd rather to light SOL stuff at the village than at some Al Qaeda spider-hole with Orochimaru and the six people loyal to him.

You eye him up and down for a few brief moments. Again you swallow, though now your throat is dry.

You push against the wall behind you, and use it to pull yourself up. His snakelike head follows you, maintaining eye level the whole way. Squaring up and sticking your chest out, you take a deep breath. "No. I won't do it. It's true that I want to beat them, more than anything maybe. It's true that I want to be the very best ninja possible, but.."

Rubbing your face again, you clear off the sweat and grime. "I want to do it on my own! I'm me, Takeshi, not you! I've heard the stories about how you were a great shinobi as a kid! You studied constantly, worked really hard, and became strong too! Why did you turn away from that life?"

His head retracts back to it's natural position. He remains silent for a few moments, presumably amused.

He turns away from you and walks to the cave entrance. "You'll realize the futility of that attitude soon enough. You act like I too, did not once love my country, and the people in it. Hypocrisy cannot stand, however. When you find yourself grinding against a stone wall, unable to move forward any longer, bound by the people who once supported you.."

He looks back, with evil eyes. "If you call my name, I might appear once more."

He takes a few more steps forward, and vanishes into the night.

You wait just a minute, and then head out yourself. You're on a small mountainside, and you can see the dim glow of your squad's campfire a few hundred meters away.

You walk down, and find your equipment behind the tree that Otozawa is tied to. You note that he's more or less exactly the same. You step over, and see Ai and Kichiro still soundly sleeping.

You fall into your bedroll, and promptly fall asleep. Some hours later, you're awoken in a much softer fashion. Ai is poking you in the cheek with a stick. "Wake up."

Blinking, you open your eyes. The drugs in your system have dehydrated you somewhat, and your mouth tastes disgusting. Ai reaches down and hands you a cup of coffee, brewed over the fire a few moments ago.

Nearby, Kichiro is frying ham. You grab the stick she's poking you with. "Cut that out, what are you doing that for?"

She blinks, her face as blank as ever. "You wouldn't wake up, you've really been asleep. Normally you're the first up."

You chuckle, and sit up. You take a sip of the coffee. "Oh, sorry. Hehe, I guess it was really deep.."

Initially, you want to tell them about what happened. But, when you think about it, you don't even really have any proof that something happened. Not to mention that Otozawa is nearby to listen, and if he escaped with any sensitive information it'd be entirely your fault.

Plus, Kichiro isn't exactly the most reserved. Really, this type of information should be purely reserved for the Hokage himself. You'll just have to keep it to yourself for now.

You all head back to the village, eager to get home and rest. As you're approaching the gates, the guards step forward and stop you.

"Uh, who's the guy with the sack on his head?"

"He's one of the Jashinists Captains. I need to take him to the Hokage, immediately."

They look at each other, and blink. "Jeez, kid. You don't mess around, huh? Hurry on through."

Your squad enters the Leaf. You turn to them, and smile. "Awesome job, guys! I'll be sure to let Naruto know how much you helped. I've got to go give a report, but I'll be home for the rest of the day if you want to talk."

Ai nods, and Kichiro gives you a thumbs up. You say goodbye, and see the two of them go their separate ways.

Everyone lets you through without a word as you approach the Hokage's office, seeing that you have a prisoner of war in tow.

Naruto's eyes go wide as he looks up from his paperwork, and you throw Otozawa to his knees in front of you. You grin. "The mission was successful, Lord Hokage."

Naruto stands up. "T-that's not Usagi, is it!? Oh jeez, you were supposed to bring him back, not bring him here! Oh man, they're gonna be so pissed, what am I gonna-"

You shake your head, and try to quickly explain. "N-no! This is Otozawa! Usagi got returned to the Stone safe and sound. This one's a bonus. He's a captain, of the Jashinists."

Naruto slides back down into his seat. "....Well. That's...great! Everything went off without a hitch?"

You explain the details of the mission to him. It all went fairly smoothly. There's only a few other things to address before you go.

>>1153507
There no chance that he would show up in Narutos office just because we happened to say his name in conversation. How stupid do you think he is?
>>
>>1153458
interpretive dance!
>>
(We'll get to telling him about Orochimaru once this segment of conversation is done)

"What will happen to Otozawa?"

"We'll take him to Intelligence. They'll thoroughly scan his memories, maybe even get a little violent if they have to. I really don't like the idea of torture, but I guess that since he's immortal it's alright.

In front of you, Otozawa turns his head and looks back. You know that he can see you despite being blinded, since he detects movement through sound. For the first time, he decides to speak.

"I...I'm willing to cooperate. Please, don't brainwash me! I don't.."

You think he might be choking back tears under the sack. "I don't want to be anymore crippled than I already am."

Naruto sits in stony silence for a few moments. "How many people have you crippled? Have you killed?"

Otozawa's head hangs low. "I..I can't defend anything I've done...I wanted.."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btPJPFnesV4

You suddenly decide to take off the sack on his head, and step around to get a look at him. Sure enough, the now blinded teenager is crying freely. His milky white, blind eyes have been ruined by scarring, and the skin around them is distorted. His jaw is sown together somewhat crudely. You note his voice is also scratchier than when you had very first met him, probably due to having a sword shoved down his throat. "I wanted to be the strongest in my village! They said I could do it by joining them...Please, don't do this to me! I don't wanna get made into a vegetable!!!"

Naruto stands up, slamming his hands down on the table. "They won't do that to you!"

The blind boy yells. "You're LYING!!"

Staring down, you're unsure how to feel. He's certainly killed many people before, but his choice of words resonates deeply inside of you.

Otozawa's head hangs low again. "Scum like me...What my 'allies' have done, what we've done to people from this village. There's no hope for me. No matter what you promise. I...I, I know it doesn't matter what I say, but truthfully, I hate them. I hate what they did to me. I'm immortal, but my eyes. He took away my eyes!!"

The room is deadly quiet. Naruto, and you, know this is true. Intelligence won't be kind to him at all. He could very well remain in comatose state inside of a cell, forever.

Or, he could be playing your sympathies.

Naruto frowns. "I can't sense any evil from him, but it's based on emotion and intent. He could be genuinely hateful of his allies and willing to redeem himself, but turn later."

It's too soon for us to judge whether he's honest or not just yet. If it's based off emotion, then let's get him emotional. He might spill.

Sums up this entire decision-making process.

I mean, I love me some edge, don't get me wrong, but it's kinda hard to do it in front of ninja jesus here. Even if it's justified.

I think part of it is that he made a decision that was just given to us by papa roach, and we chose the other path. Which would've been hilarious if we hadn't and then had this conversation. Takeshi becoming *extremely* uncomfortable with the implications... No no, Orochimaru is completely different, honest! Ha.
>>
>>1153666
There's no evidence he ever tortured anyone. You've only ever seen him fight out in the open.

He may have stood by and let stuff happen though. But he's basically in the darkest gang imaginable, bad idea to go against them once you're in.
>>
>>1153677
I'm fine with becoming Orochimaru for a New Era, our team is already like the Sannin, except our sensei isn't as based.
>>
>>1153677
Yeah, I'm getting the feeling this would be a more compelling scene had we made a different choice.
>>
>>1153666
>"I can't sense any evil from him, but it's based on emotion and intent. He could be genuinely hateful of his allies and willing to redeem himself, but turn later."

He is not innocent he is not a bad person, however.

I'm fine with Takeshi being mad, but he is far from being this bad cringy.
>>
>>1153678
be that as it may, i still think that just having him be legitimately sorry isn't enough to earn forgiveness. he's reaping what he sowed and he doesnt like how it tastes, let him rot i say.
>>
>>1153691
Literally every dialogue write-in is cringy on some level, it's to be expected
>>
>>1153695
Yeah the guy has totally killed dozens of people personally. Some your fellow countrymen.
>>
>>1153691
meh, i never said i was a great writer, sounded good in my head. besides, it doesnt have to be word for word if minmin doesnt like it, i just wanna get across the Takeshi is pissed.
>>
>>1153691
I see how.
I can see any number of anime characters saying those same words, I'm sure i have.
>>
>>1153707
Do the Jashinists still revel in pain? I honestly don't recall any who liked getting hurt. Except maybe Shuzoku?
>>
Hot blood justice does not go anywhere and just make us like them
>>
>>1153682
>except our sensei isn't as based
I don't remember Kakashi fighting a Biju
>>
>>1153708
It's fine dude it's just your word choice and shit that's putting me off. You're using a lot of metaphors in what sounds like an attempt to sound cool, and it comes across as really cringy.
>>
>>1153720
Yeah not being super nice is exactly like killing countless people
>>
>>1153720
Yeah, and Takeshi's not really hot blooded. If he got super pissed, I'd see it being more cold.
>>
There's a few more moments of silence. You break it. "What if he's just trying to get us to give him another chance? He could still go back to the Jashinists the first chance he gets."

Otozawa has stopped crying, and his blank eyes remain pointed at the floor. "You're not wrong, I don't expect to be forgiven at all. I.."

He stops speaking, and the color is starting to drain from his face. He may be realizing the total consequences of his life choices.

Naruto walks over to him, and examines the young man. "I won't send you straight to Intelligence. I'll give you a fighting chance, at the very least. I have a friend named Ino. I'll have her examine you, she'll be fair.."

You step forward to protest. "But Lord Hokage! He's tried to kill me and my friends multiple times now! Killed some of our mutual allies!"

Naruto sighs. "I know. But look at him. I've seen people like him before. Known them. Those who would...Leave their village, and accept the gifts of a madman. I know it better than anyone, Takeshi. Listen, you did a great job on the mission. You're dismissed, unless you have anything else you wanted to tell me."

He seems upset.

"I do have something else to tell you actually. It's..sensitive information though."

He nods, and calls in some guards to take Otozawa away.

You quietly think of how to begin this conversation. You choose to simply come right out with it.

"I was kidnapped by Orochimaru."

Naruto whips around, and stares you down. You've never seen him look so serious before in your life. "What?"

"He took me from our camp and spoke to me. I haven't even told Kichiro or Ai about this, since I thought it might be a bit sensitive. He asked me if I had anything to do with Shozuku, since I looked like him. I think he might have just been trying to find out more about how Jashinist immortality works, but I didn't know anything."

Naruto steps forward, and grips your shoulders. "Did he do anything to you? Or, did he say anything else odd? Please, Takeshi!"

You nod. "He did. He was talking about Kaguya, and something about other dimensions. I didn't really get what he was talking about, but it had something to do with Jashin. He didn't do anything but knock me out, but.."

Naruto's eyes are glistening. You can tell that he's immensely concerned for your well being. "He offered to give me a lot of power, but I refused."

Naruto exhales, and nearly collapses. He must have been holding his breath while you were thinking of your answer.

He nods. "Good..you did everything right, Takeshi. What he was offering you was a sour deal. I can't really say more than that, but it's nothing you wanted. Do you remember where this happened?"

"Near the border of the stone."

"Noted." he says. "You're dismissed now. I'm sorry you had to deal with that bastard."

You salute your Hokage, and exit. Looking back, Naruto seems very downtrodden by all this recent news. You sigh and head home for now.

Hitting your bed, you fall asleep almost immediately. You've been doing a lot of traveling and fighting the last week, and it's been rather draining. Tomorrow you'll be able to get some alone time and train!

When you wake up, you smell food cooking. You get up and find your brother has made a small breakfast, as he's going to be home for the rest of the day.

Also, tell her about how Orochimaru might be creeping on her for her body.

Shit. Orochimaru is the Boruto writer.
>>
>>1153969
He found a way into new dimensions. It all makes sense now!

He already knows.

It's perpetually assumed that Orochimaru is after any Uchiha that he can beat 1 on 1.

So, what % MAD is AwesomeSauce gonna be when he learns the pedosnek that bad-touched him as a kid is stalking his daughter and wants to get in her body in the worst way?
>>
>>1153969
>Shit. Orochimaru is the Boruto writer.
AT least that explains why he never banged Tsunade.
>>
Also, guys. Owl training.
>>
>>1154018
He knows dude. Orochimaru's goal has always been to get an Uchiha body.
>>
>>1153902

>A. Ask Hideki to teach you water jutsu.

I *do* wanna get better at fire jutsu, but Hideki isn't home every day. Let's hang out with big bro for a bit.
>>
>>1154025
Changing to this since we informed Naruto about the situation with Sarada.
>>
>>1153993
>I could have taken Sarada for myself right then, but I would have hated to agitate Mitsuki too much. It's important to never play your hand too early, you know.
That's more than speculation though. That's info on a specific plan, and a specific impediment to that plan.
>>
>>1154023
>Orochimaru's goal has always been to get an Uchiha body.
Except for those three seconds when he thought that he could get the drop on Pain.
>>
>>1154023
I'm surprised he isn't stalking her himself, then.

Naruto's been informed. He'll take proper action.
>>
>>1154077
She will be fine dude.
More likely than not she either knows the deal or we aren't supposed to tell her.
Besides i would think our talk Snek would motivate our boy to train at 120% for the next week.
>>
>>1154084
Yeah, but I think we should at least tell her about how he was creeping on her during the mission.
>>
>>1154077
This is new information to YOU and you alone.

Sarada always has to be concerned about someone wanting to gank her eyes, and Orochimaru is the gankmaster.
>>
>>1154077
Because there are people above us who knew already, are smarter than us, and either haven't told her, or told her and she hasn't told us because she doesn't want us to know. Telling her is either above our station, or not worth the hassle.
>>
>>1154053

>B. Hanto
>>
>>1154096
Wait, are Shin's a thing? Is Kabuto the kindly orphankeeper?
>>
>>1154142
Nope, never happened in this quest.
>>
>>1154150
Is Kabuto still alive? He seemed compliant enough to trick into execution after the War. And he was the only one left from that side. What even happened to the remaining Zetsu?
>>
>>1153982
Anyone have the massive document about his adventures into eugenics?

You go to find Hanto, and continue your training with the Fire element.

It hasn't been easy in the slightest. Today, he tells you that you're going to attempt to learn the Great Fireball Jutsu, one of the most basic techniques of the element. It consumes a larger amount of chakra than normal for a C rank jutsu, as most fire jutsu do.

Hanto himself actually has some work to do today, so he leaves you with a scroll on the technique.

You get to work, though initially you're only able to release small spurts of flame. You think that you'd be able to blow out a much larger blast, but you're not sure if you'd be able to do it without starting a fire or burning yourself. Slowly, you warm up to larger, and more consistently spread streams.

Slowly but surely, you begin the bitter work..

---

That's all for tonight folks, sorry for the short post but I ran out of steam.

I'll be around for a little bit for some questions.
>>
>>1154247
Were you kinda disappointed at us not taking the mark?
>>
>>1154247
Thanks for running Mini, Moon Waifu when?
>>
>>1154247
so what does Orochi think of us now?
Was Nart super impressed with us bringing back a Jashin lieutenant?
>>
>>1154252
Either or was good. Honestly it's a subplot in the grand scheme of things.

>>1154254
She's closer than you might think, in a way.

>>1154255
Orochi still doesn't think very much of you. He doesn't think you'll amount to anything without going rogue.

Naruto is bretty impressed/10
>>
>>1154218
Thanks, I've been looking for that for a while.
>>
>>1154272
>She's closer than you might think, in a way.
I hope it's not Ai. I mean, I like Ai, but not in the moonfu way. If she were some kind of robot though...
>>
>>1154272
We're all thinking it, any chance on Sasuke coming in before the time skip?
>>
>>1154272
>He doesn't think you'll amount to anything without going rogue.
So we have potential, but only if we let him tell us how to use it. Narcissism rules. Now we have the motivation knowing that one of the most powerful beings in history finds us adequately equipped to use as a tool for himself.
>>
>>1154295
We should unseal Kaguya, that would show him.
>>
>>1154286
Not in any significance.

There'll be a major choice at the end regarding him though. Of part 1.
>>
>>1154303
Nope, steal her power. With Seals.
>>
>>1154306
It's a training trip isn't it?
>>
>>1154307
You would need to unseal her first.
>>1154306
I hope it's that he actively maintains a second family with that loli MILF from Shinden.
>>
>>1154313
Something like that, yes.
>>
>>1154303
The fact that he believes in us should be enough to push ourselves. We can redouble our efforts and prove snake-sama right about our potential.
>>
>>1154347
When do you think we'll run again?
>>
>>1154394
Oh yes, forgot to mention. I was thinking Wednesday

>>

The mooks would have all fallen asleep, but the major characters would be fine.
>>
>>1155508
Oh well, catch ya on Wednesday then.
How's the compendium goin?
>>
>>1155520
Been adding to it bit by bit, I'll take an hour or two here soon and finish it off.

That's good to hear. Take your time though and double check that shit.
>>
>>1159252
What's this about a compendium?
>>
>>1159487
Making a list of all characters, their stats, and a short description for easy reference.
>>
>>1159512
That would be extremely fucking useful.
>>
>>1159521
Indeed, it's gonna be damn near necessary when I start up part 2 after taking a break for a while so may as well do it now.

There were 40 something characters introduced during the exams and they'll all be showing up again at some point. I'd caution there's gonna be close to 60 OC's by the end of the quest.
>>
>>1159529
Mini, you're a god damn beast for keeping things straight that long. AND you're gonna be running a quest full of OCs for your Hajime no Ippo quest.

God damn.
>>
>>1161651
I haven't been nearly as successful as I'd like to be in that regard. The compendium is going to help me as well as you guys I think. I appreciate the praise though.

In The Fighting Quest there will be some characters appearing from the manga, but they'll be pretty far beyond you. Itagaki and Imai particularly are the god-kings of your era.

Then there'll be a lot of the jobbers from that era featured as well. It won't be as extensive as Boruto but there'll be a decent mix of characters that appeared in the series infrequently, and original ones. I think it'll help me tighten things up and keep them focused.
>>
>>1161707
That's good. The manga doesn't exactly have an EXTENSIVE amount of characters, anyways. Most were just there for one or two fights. Makes the regulars, especially from other gyms or whatnot, even more special (Mashiba in particular is a treat). I have faith you'll do us proud Mini.
>>
>>1161753
Indeed, I'd like to bring a lot of the one-shot characters back up to the fore front in some ways.

There were some cool guys who just got completely walked through.
>>
>>1161792
Are we ever gonna fight hammer nao?
>>
>>1161792
Speaking of ippo, when you gonna run it again?
>>
>>1161970
Potentially. He's an active boxer, but he's pro ranked. He'd crush you until you got particularly good.

>>1161979
I was intending to run it only once I finish this, but I may do one more thread before then.

Possibly this weekend. I know there must be some people who aren't fans of Boruto but are fans of that idea, so I'll try not to leave you guys hanging too much until I get there.
>>
>>1161996
The only reason I started reading this quest was because of the first Ippo Quest, so you must be doing something right. I almost despise Naruto anyways, so myself having fun with this quest speaks to how well you've been doing as a QM.
>>
>>1162035
Well thank you anon, I appreciate that very much. I suppose I'll make a straw poll at the end of the thread to see if people would like another The Fighting Quest before I finish this, would probably be best way to gauge what people think
>>
>>1162479
Well, I likely won't be around for another day or two, so if there's a strawpoll, add a yes for me.
>>
>>1162479
When you thinking about running anyways?
>>
>>1162911
gotcha

>>1163115
Boruto Quest tomorrow
