Shinobi Quest #9

Shinobi Quest #9

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 kept her word, and began to help others begin the healing process, as well as making some bold proclamations.

“Well, I’m setting a goal for you right now, then Hinata.” you say standing up.

“W-what’s that?” she inquires.

“You’re going to beat Neji Hyuuga.” you say, flashing her a winning smile……

The young girl stares back at you, mouth agape.

“Beat Neji….?” she finally mumbles, regaining her composure.

“This is what I’m talking about Hinata! I don’t think you’re truly going to believe in yourself until take wipe that smug grin off of his face!” you exclaim.

“.....I guess…. You’ll help me, right? Train for it, I mean.” she finally answers.

You…

1. Promise Hinata you’ll help her beat Neji
2. Explain that this is something she needs to accomplish on her own.
3. Be non-committal

>4. I can give a little help, but our styles don't mesh well. Best I can do is spar against you and push.

>1. Promise Hinata you’ll help her beat Neji
I can't really see how she'd do it on her own yet. I'd say get her started then let her go on her own from there

>1. Promise Hinata you’ll help her beat Neji
But it's her fight ultimately to win. Wet just need to help her get ready

>1
>2

We'll definitely give her some help, but the real effort needs to be on her part.

>1. Promise Hinata you’ll help her beat Neji
We will train together to reach our own goals! We will help each other

>1. Promise Hinata you’ll help her beat Neji
Start playing the Japanese-language cover of "Eye of the Tiger", because we're going to Rocky the fuck out of you, Hinata.

>1. Promise Hinata you’ll help her beat Neji

Get Nori to help out too.

Hey Wargle, please don't delay the husbando wars untill the very end and make all the choices end up hurting somebody Tsumi cares about.

Yes Laze, I'm still fucking mad. Fix that shit.

A promise is a promise, anons!

Writing.

You all chose to do it.

It's your fault. Not his.

>1. Promise Hinata you’ll help her beat Neji
Ill help you how I can and get you started, did you like using the short bow?

Ninshu, not even once user.

>all the choices end up hurting somebody Tsumi cares about

Love is a battlefield user.

Reminder

He is the true Ninja Jesus.

He died so that Team Mega Milk could be born.

Truly a worth sacrifice.

“I’ll definitely help you, Hinata. Nori will too! We’ve all got to achieve our goals together.” you say, trying to sound inspirational.

Hinata smiles. You’ve clearly lifted her spirits.

“Now, as to how to beat him, that’s a tough question….” you ponder aloud. “We’ll definitely need to watch his fight against Nori’s brother, and maybe a few others, just to see how he fights.”

“I-I’ve been watching him already…. I know how he’ll fight. He uses the Gentle Fist, same as I do. Although I know father never taught it to him, so I couldn’t say how he learned it.” she reports.

That makes it straightforward, then. Just need to counter a Dojutsu-based combat style honed down by generations of one of the most powerful shinobi families in Konoha. Easy.

“Well, my assumption is that as of now, he’s more proficient in it than you are… so we’ll need to figure out a way to beat it. Having you both use the same technique is just a battle of attrition, and by physical conditioning and experience alone, he’ll beat you out there.” you analyze, resting your pointer finger on your chin.

“The Byakugan isn’t foolproof, Tsuki-hime.” she says, plans of her own beginning to form behind a hardened expression. “It’s range is limited until you grow more used to using it, and it has a blind spot- right above the third thoracic vertebrae.”

You take this in- you hadn’t known about this weakness.

Using this knowledge, you suggest…

1. A ranged weapon. Maybe a bow?
2. Clones? I have just the jutsu for you….
3. Waiting, for now. You still want to see how Neji fights.

>3. Waiting, for now. You still want to see how Neji fights.

lets not get ahead of ourselves

>3. Waiting, for now. You still want to see how Neji fights.

Also, don't give away a big weakness that easily!

>3. Waiting, for now. You still want to see how Neji fights.

>3. Waiting, for now. You still want to see how Neji fights.

Combine them. Ruin his face

Waiting, although a ranged weapon is always useful.

>3. Waiting, for now. You still want to see how Neji fights.

We should consult Danzo, he may know something that might help.

Actually, with the Byakugan, using that weapon that is essentially a metal ball on a line (can't think of the name) would be pretty good. They could always see where it is and not have wholely rely on training to feel where it is. Jackie Chan used something similar in Shanghai Noon but it was a Sheriff's star badge on a rope. Just an idea.

FINE

I ADMIT IT

THE NINSHU WAS MY IDEA, ANONS!

I DIDN'T WANT THIS

I NEVER WANTED THIS

oh god what have i done we promised to protect that smile forever

Supporting asking Danzo. Of course he is going to know how to counter it, in case the the clan ever threatened the Leaf.

We should ask for his second or third best idea though. Best idea might point too directly at him/us. Gotta play the angled shadows people!

Postponing Project ruin Neji.

Writing.

I am thinking the physical counter to the Byakugan and Gentle Fist is a good ground game. Some jujitsu perhaps.

Well to counter gentle fist...how about come chakra conducting metal as a net weave? rather than the jabs knocking out nodes, it would disperse into the net mesh?

Honestly all you would need to do would be figuring out how to cut the chakra flow to the eyes and then the style becomes much weaker

Just activate the main branch curse seal

Hey half of that was a deliberate compromise by anons to avoid waifu war losers ruining the rest of the quest out of spite. Ninshu was totally fucking dumb though.

Someone mind informing me about what happened? I dropped Laze's quest because his grammar/writing was shit, at least in the first few threads. And, you know, because it was a carbon copy of the Naruto plot.

Or spiked armor hidden under Hinata's already bulky sweats. Kinda hard to focus on precise chakra blocking strikes when you just impaled your hand on a 2 1/2 inch long barbed spike. Plus Hinata would know where all the chakra pressure points are already and thus where the spikes need to go. "The Hyyuga can not block your chakra if you disable his hand."

>Hinata have you heard about the Armor of Thorns?

You mean useless. No magic eyes = no Gentle Fist, hard stop.

>And, you know, because it was a carbon copy of the Naruto plot.
Oh, you're THAT user.

All you gotta do is chop off his hands, user. Simple as that.

If you have the points memorized then you can still do some damage

I left after we somehow convinced Haku to not kill himself or whatever. Felt too much like a giant fanwank. I can deal with something well-written, like the Boruto quest or this one, but I couldn't stay with that shit. That a problem, user?

Hang on why don't we get Hinata into hard Genjutsu, that shit fucks Neji right up. Hinata is Water nature I believe, so we should have her learn, water clones and water prison. If he is trapped and can't move he is useless.

Not the same guy but those were the same reasons I dropped it.

No other ninjas used anything like that in the series so I am forced to assume that the eyes are necessary for the chakra blocking to work.

Magic eyes can tell when you are using genjutsu by your chakra flow making it easy to dispel unless it is some jounin/sharingan level shit.

That's pretty sneaky user. I like it.

“First of all- you probably shouldn’t be just letting people know that, Hinata.” you scold.

“It’s ok, I trust you, Tsuki-hime!” she says, smiling.

While you’re glad to hear that, it doesn’t really change the gravity of what she just told you…

“Regardless, some mixture of clones and a ranged weapon might work, but I’m going to opt in favor of waiting until we see Neji in action- not just sparring or practicing.” you say.

She nods, and the two of you spend some time just relaxing.

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

You still have some time left in the day. You could go to the weapons store, to collect your order, and maybe look into some more unique equipment; you could also go talk to the Fourth. You wonder if he’s made his choice about Ebisu sensei’s replacement yet.

You…

1. Go visit TenTen and the Ninja Supply Store
2. Go visit the Fourth
3. Go home instead. (Will end the day)

>1. Go visit TenTen and the Ninja Supply Store

1. Go visit TenTen and the Ninja Supply Store

Time for ninja makeover

>3. Go home instead. (Will end the day)

Just collect our shit off-screen. Ask Danzo about how to help Hinata.

>1. Go visit TenTen and the Ninja Supply Store
need training blades made to be mock ups of the ones we can't use in village.

>1. Go visit TenTen and the Ninja Supply Store

It's all your fault~!

>4. Go home, arrange to have someone pick up your order, and ask Danzo how to deal with the Neji issue.

>3. Go home instead. (Will end the day)
Go to Danzo...now is the time. Also for the moment keep what we learnt about the Byuakugan secret, play close to the chest.

>1. Go visit TenTen and the Ninja Supply Store

>3. Go home instead. (Will end the day)

>3. Go home instead. (Will end the day)

3. Go home instead. (Will end the day)
Danzo-sama teach us, if he don't practice sitting around with 2 shadow clones

>1. Go visit TenTen and the Ninja Supply Store

3. Go home instead. (Will end the day)
Sorry! Change my vote to this, eager for my danzo

You fucks and your ties

2. Go visit the Fourth

I'll break it.

>1. Go visit TenTen and the Ninja Supply Store

Sounds interesting.

You love it though.

Yeah! You love it!

visiting TenTen

No Ninshu guise, seriously

I'll try to wrap it up somewhat quick for Danzo/Training fags

What the fuck is this Ninshu shit? I don't follow Laze's quest. All I know is it involves waifu slap fights.

From what I can tell it's basically a Vulcan mind-meld, sharing memories with someone else. This particular one ended very badly.

it's a make everyone get along jutsu via showing them everything about you while you see everything about them, doing that to a girl who loves you but can't have you because you chose someone else is just stupid.

Ya know Sasuke really picked the right girl. When Naruto is forced to fuck a prune looking Hinata, he is still going to be tapping an 18 year old looking Sakura ass.

Just one glaring problem with that.

He married Sakura

Thank you, sensei!

> Hinata is Water nature I believe
This makes me really mad. I know it's not your fault, because everyone and their dog headcanons it that way, but that's 112% incorrect.
Does anyone ever check the wiki?
Hinata can use 2 releases: Fire and Lightning
And let's be honest with ourselves, she didn't start with lightning.

Also on this note are her canon teammates;
Shino is Fire
Kiba is Earth

It's certainly true that in a combat situation shutting of the tenketsu is basically impossible if you can't see the things. Buuuut jamming energy spikes into people will still have an effect. If you can tag someone in the torso enough you're pretty much guaranteed to shred some organs.

That sounds gay as hell.

You decide to head towards TenTen’s family shop. Hinata decides to head home along the way, so you say your goodbyes.

As you peep inside, you can see her furiously cleaning the counter- the store is nearly empty.

As if on some intuition, she tosses a kunai at the door- where it sticks in the doorframe, inches from your face. “No window shoppers! She yells- and then sees who she’s threatening.

“A-ah! Tsuki-hime! Sorry, sorry! Business has been poor today, and…..”

“It’s alright, Tenten, you didn’t hit me anyway.” you say- although you’d be far less magnanimous is she’d hit your hair.

“I’m here for my order- also, I had a another question for you.”

“Oh! Sure! I’ll go grab it right now!” she says, bolting off.

As she goes to grab your fan, you consider what to ask about…

1. Training swords? Might be useful to practice with, even if you don’t have a trainer right now.
2. Focus more on ranged weaponry.
3. Opt for something more unique, like puppetry.

Just gag her. Boom. Like 50% less annoying.

>4. Ninshu

>1. Training swords? Might be useful to practice with, even if you don’t have a trainer right now.

>1. Training swords? Might be useful to practice with, even if you don’t have a trainer right now.

>3. Opt for something more unique, like puppetry.
A princess keeps her hands undamaged and soft.

We never specialise for once lets do it

Let's ask about puppets. We have money to burn and things to learn.

>1. Training swords? Might be useful to practice with, even if you don’t have a trainer right now.

>1. Training swords? Might be useful to practice with, even if you don’t have a trainer right now.

Training swords.

>1. Training swords? Might be useful to practice with, even if you don’t have a trainer right now.

No, you're gay!

Actually yeah, it's kinda gay. Anything Naruto related is pretty much kinda gay.

Nah user. Gotta beef up that taijutsu!

...

3. Opt for something more unique, like puppetry.
have the puppet wield the swords!

also
bad user

>1. Training swords? Might be useful to practice with, even if you don’t have a trainer right now.

Anons used the canon get along super jutsu and made some bad choices to try to either get a harem ending, or at least appease her

It did exactly the opposite

...

>1. Training swords? Might be useful to practice with, even if you don’t have a trainer right now.

Puppets can't do chakra stuff unless their human puppets. Fairly sure the swords need chakra to work.

>1

On phone.

3. Opt for something more unique, like puppetry.
lets see what she has first
