Anyway, summary time, from the Sunshine Coast!
Before the game started for reals, R20 GM Claus brought presents for the players, in the form of HP boosts, all thanks to an user in the previous thread, because of whom I went back and re-read the levelling up section in the PHB, and realised I had been jewing the players out of health. As such, they all rolled 6d8 and added their respective CON mods to the result. Waniko gained 29HP, to a total of 40, Renya notched up 32, to a total of 43, and Arata and Fugetsu both got 19, for totals of 29HP each.
So, the game began where we left off last week - we had finished, I think, the third round of combat, and we started on the fourth round. Sarada opened up first, moving east past Inojin and Renya to fucking wail on an enemy Genin with her twin Kriss', landing with both hits and caused 8 damage, putting him down. Inojin, recovered from his last Dancing Leaf Hurricane, moved south towards the mass of enemies and threw himself in, launching another whirlwind of three attacks at an enemy, hitting with all three and causing a total of 17 damage, dropping him like a sack of fucking bricks. The players could all see that two in a row was starting to take it's toll on the Yamanaka.
Arata, deciding not to heal himself, instead lashed out with his kusarigama, hitting on a nice roll of 24 and causing a solid 6 damage, also putting his target down for the fucking count. Take no prisoners. He then Disengaged using his Bonus Action and moved south-west, hoping to set up a Noxian Diplomacy proc for Waniko.
Mitsuki's turn came around, and he decided to say 'fuck that shit' to being a pussy, and rolled a solid nat 20 to hit against the Genin to his immediate south. Doubling his d6 damage roll, he ended with a nice 11 damage from a single hit, bringing his target down to 1HP, so not quite a OHKO.
Chase Morales
How OP would Kakashi be if he could spam Kamui like Obito.
Xavier Lopez
I just realised I forgot to spoiler that image. Fuck.
Fugetsu's turn came, and he Disengaged with his Bonus Action to negate Attacks of Opportunity, and then moved to attack one of the two ninja attacking Waniko. He hit with his katana and rolled a decent 6 damage, bringing his target down to half health. Boruto, on his turn, finally managed to one-hit-wonder the bowman, bashing him in the face with his specialist katana and launching him off the ruined parapet that he had been standing on. He then jumped down and moved to join the rest of the group.
Renya threw a kunai at the Genin who was on 1HP, hitting and causing 5 damage, taking him down. He then used Shuriken Hail with his last Shuriken and put one into the arm of the last standing Genin.
The last man standing of over five three-man teams, the last Genin promptly lashed out with his katana at Fugetsu and missed with a nat 1, choking like an absolute bitch. To put him in his place, Waniko moved down 5ft to line him up with Arata, and fired off an attack with her Warglaive, hitting on a 17 and causing 18 damage, more or less bisecting him as he was brought to -13HP. Keep in mind that in a normal fight, -12 would be instant, clinical death with no hope of revival. So yeah, Waniko fucked him UP.

Fuck. Oh well, I can either move the bad guys, or change my plans. No biggie. It doesn't really give anything away.
After putting the last bad guy in the ground (most likely literally, in Waniko's case), the teams regrouped. Fugetsu quickly delegated orders, telling Gold Team to take Inojin and find Shikadai, with Arata going down to Chouchou and healing her. Arata rolls the maximum amount for the healing, patching Chouchou up for 15HP, but failing to get the CP back from his Jutsu Specialist role. Sarada contacted Fugetsu and told him that he should head south, and bring Arata with him. They headed south and found Shikadai unconscious, pale, and bleeding. Arata does less well, only healing for 6HP, but it's enough to bring Shikadai back. He asked how his team was, and managed to pull himself to his feet, before moving back to the combat area.
Blue Team headed north to where Waniko felt the tug from Ilya. Sure enough, she was also unconscious, with more than a few wounds. Arata managed to heal 9HP for Ilya, bringing her back to consciousness. Luckily, she has a long-range weapon, and so likely won't be engaged in direct combat in the future.
It was at this time that Nero appeared to have passed out, having worked for 12 hours straight before the game began, and so we called it quits. There will be no game tomorrow, since, y'know, Christmas, and we'll be playing probably only one game next week as well. I have a lot to do between then and now.

are there any women like kushina outside, in the real world?
if not, I might as well end it
Bentley Nelson
Well, the Uchiha were always regarded as one of the two strongest clans in the ninja world with their eyehax being a big reason for that.
I guess that the Uchiha that didn't unlock it were people that didn't dedicate their lives to ninja shit, like Sasuke's baker aunt.
Isaac Brown
never homo, m8. just goodwill to all men ;^)
Andrew Garcia
What are the exact traits of Kushina that you're looking for?
Levi Adams
>I guess that the Uchiha that didn't unlock it were people that didn't dedicate their lives to ninja shit, like Sasuke's baker aunt Was it really necessary to kill those Uchiha? Couldn't you have just led all the shinobi ones into a trap and killed them?
Levi Sanchez
Yes, Kishi needs forced drama to give his characters the saddest backstories possible.
Same reason why nobody ever spoke to Naruto as a child despite having no problem hanging out with him after the chunnin exams.
Samuel Butler
Too bad that last genin missed Fugetsu. Missed opportunity for Waniko to have straight murdered that kid because she was mad at him for hurting her husbando. Maybe she could've given some cute line about it.

Luis Adams
When is Sasuke's birthday?
Jace Perez
It's just poor writing. They were most likely scared of actually making them parents because it would change their personalities a lot. It also allows Bort to rebel against his father instead of always idolizing him. Also, drama.
Joseph Morales
this. they needed to manufacture drama because bort's life would've been too perfect and we all know protagonists can't have perfect lives. this is also why they're probably killing of naruto and hinata.
Jeremiah Morris
should've just fucking made Sarada the protag, the short comic about her trying to find Sasuke had conflict and drama that didn't feel so manufactured
Nicholas Hall
But she has a vagina. People with vaginas can't be MCs. We went over this in the last thread.
Ethan Thompson
Who to say she isn't? The character from whose viewpoint the story is told is not always the MC. Its too early in the story to tell
Dominic James
I suppose you can argue that seeing as how Boruto has only been the protagonist in the movie (which the manga is still in) Then again his name is on the entire series' title so I'd probably lean towards him being the sole MC with a few side stories focusing on other characters like the Mitsuki one
Logan White
Is Boruto going to be the Watson to Sarada's Holmes?
Connor Wright
Yeah. If we look at each character's potential drama they have to face, and judge their protag status from that, Salad wins by a long shot Salad >Redeem clan >Manage and learn eyehax effectively (the fact that she unlocked hers thru positive emotions does not help) >Become the Hokage >Manage feelings about Bort Bort >Become bodyguard of Hokage >Manage feelings about Salad
Sebastian Bennett
Would you an Itachi?

It really wasn't. InoxChouji had more basis since Shikamaru once made a comment about how badly Chouji was trying to impress her.

John Ward
Yeah. Big source of drama 23 seems to be a special number for the Uchihas, no?
Dominic Jenkins
That was forced drama as well. Sasuke being away for ten years doing something that ended up not mattering at all in the long run without ever bothering to even send letters is forced drama bullshit just like Naruto's workaholism.
Jason Green
But Choco is first of all, a child, and second of all, not very smart. She and Salad may not be very aware about the Uchiha's actions. And plus, Kakashi's and Naruto's propaganda does not seem to have an effect on Salad. She will probably find out and be horrified
Kevin Carter
Madara's birthday is December 24
Austin Richardson
Eh, it was pretty manufactured as well.
Michael Rogers
I'd believe Sasuke would fuck off for 10 years and not bother to contact his wife and child I wouldn't believe Naruto would neglect his family seeing as how he was so lonely as a kid
Jack Richardson
>She will probably find out and be horrified I really, really, REALLY want her to find out about her Uncle, Obito, and Madara. Hell, even the clan's originator who fucked them all up with his jealousy, Indra.
Jack Martin
Everyone will be jealous about her getting to have such awesome relatives
Adam Jones
Don't doubt the power of Naruto's propaganda.
Hudson Sanchez
I dont know about the sending letters part though. Remember, he was tracking down and fighting beings who were so powerful that Kaguya was afraid of them. If they got a hold of his messenger eagle, untold destruction would in store for Kohona and extension, Sakura and Salad
Joseph Robinson
Naruto considers the entire village to be his family now that he is hokage, it's the reason why he gives such huge importance to his job. I know it's all stupid forced drama so Kishi can project his issues and so Bort has reasons to whine but at least there is an attempt to explain his actions.
For a redeemed Sasuke, it's extremely out of character given how much losing his family fucked him over permantently and how much he wanted daddy-senpai to notice him.
Aaron Garcia
People seem to forget that Naruto grew up without parents. How would he himself know the proper art of parenting? Where would he learn it from?
Jaxon Price
> he can literally walk through dimensions at will, taking a few hours, at most, to recover enough if he's somehow tired > he can clear large distances incredibly quickly on foot, not even considering teleportation over short ranges > sent messenger hawks through fucking interdimensional portals rather than just remembering where he came from, popping back into Konoha, RIGHT into Naruto's office if he wanted to, to deliver the report and then leaving again > tracking down and fighting being who were so powerful that Kaguya was afraid of them > tracking them > across a small handful of dimensions > with literally not a single shred of information to go on > with no idea how large each dimension was > for all he knew, each dimension was as large as our universe > with no way of tracking the Ootsutsuki
It was pure luck that he ran into them in the Ice Dimension. Either that, or they'd been tracking him.
Logan Johnson
The latter is probably true. Use the residual Sage of 6 paths chakra in Sauce to revive Kaguya then fight her
Jacob Adams
Iruka was a pretty good surrogate
Easton Hernandez
Do you think that Salad will continue to improve her relationship with her father?
Ryder Martin
I can't see how much more improved it can get.

>they needed to manufacture drama because bort's life would've been too perfect and we all know protagonists can't have perfect lives You can manufacture drama without resorting to the pettiest shit in the world. Make Boruto spoiled. Make him simplistic or a knucklehead that wants to punch/talk through every conflict but make the conflicts ones that you need to resolve through political / economic interactions. Have goals for him that are entirely unrelated to power. Make him suffer something like the loss / betrayal / sacrifice of a friend which makes him unwilling to really maintain bonds for fear of losing them and make this not something he gets over through a shitty little TnJ.
Grayson Johnson
>I wouldn't believe Naruto would neglect his family seeing as how he was so lonely as a kid Maybe it's not even about neglect. Maybe to Naruto the fact that there's even a real home to come to for his kids would've been heavenly for him. I mean Naruto would've been happy to even know that, even if Minato were almost always busy, he was alive and well and would pull through when Naruto really needed help. And Hinata is home anyway, so "Kushina" is around too.
Brayden Jenkins
You mean Boruto? One chapter a month I'm afraid
Noah Jackson
Storm 4: one assist loads faster than two. Y/N?

Jacob Williams
Yes I completely agree with you. My statement about MCs not being able to have perfect lives was sarcasm.
Ryan Long
I know,I'm just venting at how poorly they've manufactured drama.
Alexander Rodriguez
Fair enough. You made some good points too. I think that Kishi can't show complex emotional development for shit so it was easier for him to resort to shit like self inserting his own problems onto naruto.
William Barnes
Kishimoto really should've just stuck to being an artist or just dropped all premise of an actual srs bsns plot like One Piece did. He's a good artist, he's just literally middle schooler tier when it comes to stories.
Logan Ross
Is kishimoto a chuunibyou?
Luke Murphy
No because Chuunis create AWESOME and EPIK powers instead of just bigger chakra golems.
Ethan Lewis
i know, right? Some wierd kids magazine thing where they cross-universe some characters each issue or whatever. I actually got a kick out of it. I think Bart would be an awesome addition to the Nart-world, although the actual killings and blood and stuff might scare him a bit.
Dawww this is cute!

Eli Anderson
Is there some sort of episode guide somewhere? Or at least one for the fillers?
Also which games should I play to experience the plot. I bought UNS4 sitting the current sale and now I'm curious.
For plot you'll need Ultimate Ninja Storm, which is basically the whole first part. Then UNS 2 goes into part to upto a point. After that they kept releasing games with more characters but not following the storyline, so I'm not sure which is the next one that continues it.
