Shinobi Quest #14

Shinobi Quest #14

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 headed home after the chunin exams, and learned about her father’s passion, and his dreams. She then had a dream of her own…..

Get hype for the Land of Hot Spings

So with Norihime Genius will it be possible to have 5.5 intelligence? Or does it only add the .5 until 5? Also thanks for running mate.

You walk over to your team- Nori and Hinata both greet you warmly. The three of you chat a little and exchange pleasantries before Itachi comes back over to tell you what’s going on.

“Our team along with Guy’s have been assigned to a joint C-Rank mission- we’re to assist the Land of Hot Springs with putting down some armed militants near the border between them and the Land of Frost- a small nation under the thumb of Kumogakure. The militants aren’t shinobi and seem armed only with conventional weapons, so we are to go in and remove them. By any means necessary.

“Search and destroy, huh?” Nori says, obviously pumped up. “Nice and simple. What about my brother’s team?”

“Judgement is still forthcoming on the exams, and as Neji is injured, they’re being sent deal with a different C-Rank mission- to protect some bridge builder in the Land of Waves.”

Yay, Best ninja quest is running!

Imagine if he makes us fight Hidan

5.5

I like to think Yoru has a 6. People like Shikamaru are a "geniuses" but do very little behaving like actual eccentric geniuses do.

>5.5

Damn.

Sweeeet. Tsuki gonna be smarter than Shiki and trounce his uppity butt in shogi!

Hehehahahahah!!! Yes. This should be Fun~

You…

1. Ask more about your mission, before your group leaves. You won’t stand for bad intel, not again.

2. Ask more about Neji’s condition.

3. Ask more about Guy’s Team being on this mission.

4. Ask about Kakashi’s team’s mission in more detail.

>1. Ask more about your mission, before your group leaves. You won’t stand for bad intel, not again.

Most IC I'd like to think.

>1. Ask more about your mission, before your group leaves. You won’t stand for bad intel, not again.
Then throw out a question about Neji almost as an afterthought.

>1. Ask more about your mission, before your group leaves. You won’t stand for bad intel, not again.

How does this work? New guy here.

>1. Ask more about your mission, before your group leaves. You won’t stand for bad intel, not again.

This, he must have pushed himself pretty hard to be this laid up.

>1. Ask more about your mission, before your group leaves. You won’t stand for bad intel, not again.
>2. Ask more about Neji’s condition.

Read the archive first. Not that many threads so no excuse not too. Then pick an option and try to remain civil and calm. Easy yeah?

Generally speaking you select choices that you feel fit the situation or the character we're playing when asked to by the QM (Wargle), occasionally an action will require a dice roll to determine success, this is done by typing dice+XdYY into the options field above the tex box with the X being number of dice being rolled and the YY being the type of die rolled such as a d20 or d100 (as an example to roll one d20 type "dice+1d20" in the options field) Anyway, generally speaking with story driven quests like this one it's best to be caught up on story events which can be done by reading the archived threads here: suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=Shinobi Quest

>1. Ask more about your mission, before your group leaves. You won’t stand for bad intel, not again.
>3. Ask more about Guy’s Team being on this mission.

1 with a bit of 2.

Writing~

WHY DID YOU START THIS THREAD SO LATE IN THE DAY, WARGLE? I had the day off work today, but I have to get up at 8:00 AM tomorrow, and it's 10:16 already where I am.

He's in the process of moving user. Besides its a couple hours late calm your tits.

EBISU DID NOTHING WRONG

The Chosen Hero

the Death and Return of Ebisuman?

He will rise again stronger than ever before

You decide to get serious.

“I’d like to know more about our mission sensei. Numbers, weapon types, who leads them…. I won’t be unprepared again.” you say somberly.

Nori and Hinata turn to you, nodding.

“Very well. I’ll give you the full debriefing as we travel- we’re going to head north through the Valley of the End, then west into the Land of Hot Springs. We’re going to try and avoid going through the Land of Rice Fields. It’s in some kind of upheaval right now- a distraction we cannot really afford.” Itachi says, with a small frown.

“Oh, and you also mentioned that Hyuga boy was hurt?” you mumble, pretending to be looking through your tools as you say so, rather disinterestedly.

“Compound fracture of the collarbone, dislocated shoulder, and some serious bruising- to more than just his ego.” Kakashi says, eyes downcast into his little book.

“For someone who specializes in Taijutsu, it’s gonna keep him out of action for a little while. Naruto here went a little overboard-” Kakashi thwaps Naruto on the head with the spine of his book.

Naruto just laughs nervously.

(Do you wish to talk to anyone before you depart?)

>(Do you wish to talk to anyone before you depart?)

Other than wishing Kakashi and his team good luck, not really.

Just wish the others luck.

Wish the others luck then get going

Wish Naruto and his team Good Luck, then talk to the other team. Things like abilities, jutsu they know, anything that might help us.

second.

Just wish them good luck... oh and tell them to tell us if they find any cute guys.

Just wish Kakashi's team good luck

Otherwise wave and be polite to Team Guy ask how they've been all that jazz since while enroute we'll be getting briefed

Third

Would be nice but a bit metagamey. Besides we are more like to draw the shit luck and end up against Zabuza.

>Besides we are more like to draw the shit luck and end up against Zabuza.

We're not going on the Land of Waves arc.

And were not getting called as backup for them either, were on the complete opposite side of the land of fire

Alright, wishing Team Kakashi good luck, and getting on the road.

Writing.

Tell them if they meet any cool boys to tell them about us

Fuck off with that, You're the only one who voted for it and it's really OOC.

Different guy user, I just felt like making a shitty pun

Tell Naruto he was very dashing during the fight.

Purely to irritate Nori

> full debriefing
Debriefing...before the mission...Wargle nooooo...

Night my comrades. Good luck. Don't do anything stupid. And puppets still suck.

You walk over to Team Kakashi.

“Good luck, you guys. Not that you’ll need it, but still. Be careful.” you say, somewhat gravely.

Sai smiles. “No worries, Tsuki-chan. Even without Neji, we’re a force to be reckoned with. I do appreciate your concern, though.”

You feel an ominous presence behind you….

You turn and see Nori hanging off your shoulder, making a scary face at Sai. “Step off, creep. Don’t make me pound your face in, ya know?”

Sai just laughs awkwardly and backs off a bit.

“Same to you, Tsuki-chan. Take care of my kid sister, would you?” Naruto says, shooting you a thumbs up.

You respond…

1. With similar levels of enthusiasm.
2. Positively, but somewhat solemn.
3. By saying that Nori can protect herself
>Write-in

>2. Positively, but somewhat solemn.

>1. With similar levels of enthusiasm.

>Write-in
Pull out the fan and ohohohoh then say of course

>2. Positively, but somewhat solemn.
>3. By saying that Nori can protect herself
Ill do what I can but i'm sure she'll need no help for me.

REEeee... ah whatever if you don't like em you don't like em we'll just leave it till it comes time to decide on training stuff

>1. With similar levels of enthusiasm.

Yes they are

>2. Positively, but somewhat solemn.
>3. By saying that Nori can protect herself

"I believe Nori is fully capable of protecting herself, Naruto. But I shall have her back, just in case."

>2. Positively, but somewhat solemn.
But
>3. By saying that Nori can protect herself
As she is most likely the psychically strongest out of us.

Hush, I'm tired. Briefing, debriefing....

-_-

>Sorry, but if we get in a fight it'll probably be me hiding behind her. No offense, Nori, you just make such an effective meatshield~

2.
This is our first mission since ebisu. We aren't ready for to many smiles

shall we tell him it's Tsuki-hime to him but yes we will take care of his sister, make it clear we're not angry just reminding him who we are but still friendly

>2. Positively, but somewhat solemn.

I don't think we would say that to a fellow elite, but when we meet a peasant bring that up again

...no its not....it's our fist C rank sure but we've done like 10 D ranks since then

D Ranks aren't real missions user

"We are a team. I'll be watching their backs and they will watch mine. Nothing to worry about"

Those cats ain't gonna return themselves now will the grass mow itself

I omitted a real. Sue me.

Well we are Tsuki so we don't need the money ill pass

2 & 3

Writing.

“I will, Naruto-san. Although she might just end up being the one protecting me-” you start, though you feel Nori making a face at her brother, this time.

“Bro. Go on your mission. You might be a chunin soon but I’ll still beat you up, ya know?” she says, not hiding her wicked grin.

“Sure, sis. Just don’t get in over your head.” he says while ruffling her hair. She’s growling, but it’s effect is diminished, just a little.

Soon, Team Kakashi departs, heading south towards the Land of Waves. You hope everything turns out alright for them.

You rejoin the large group that constitutes the combined Teams Guy and 7, and take a quick mental inventory of your collective skills.

Yourself- High skill in Ninjutsu, with a few offensive skills. Somewhat skilled in the use of a shortbow and war fan. There’s also your release, but you don’t plan on revealing that for now. So far you’ve been utilizing shadow clones to your advantage.

Hinata- Taijutsu specialist, best in close range. Knows mainly supplementary Jutsu.

Nori- Skilled in Taijutsu, also makes use of her Chakra Chains to great effect. Skilled in Wind Release techniques, and posses some odd chakra.

Lee- Presumably skilled in Taijutsu, since you’ve never seen or heard of him using anything else. May be a liability.

Sakura- A smart girl, with a fiery temper. Skilled in the basics and support Jutsu.

Sasuke- Skilled in offensive Jutsu, like yourself. May also be able to utilize the Sharingan, although you’re unsure.

You have no idea of the full capabilities of either sensei. Do you wish to inquire about anything in particular?

What jutsus does Sakura know?

Go ahead and ask Sasuke if he's got that fancy eye power of his yet, it be helpful to know everyone's full potential. We could also work with Sakura to build up some strageties that work with our team.

I imagine something along the lines of having Lee, Sasuke and Hinate as front line with Nori working as midline for any that get past while Sakura supports the frontline. Meanwhile we're in the back laying down fire power on the enemy.

What Lee can actually do. If Sasuke can use the Sharingan. What jutsu Samura knows. And yes its misspelled on purpose.

Ask Sasuke and Sakura what jutsu they have. Be a bit open about your own, but of course keep the release quiet.

seconding and also ask sensei if he's okay with his little brother being, temporarily, under his command
and maybe talk with Lee about him potentially acquiring some of daddy's mechanisms to supplement his... "inadequacies"

bunshin
selfhatred
large forehead

You forgot the repressed anger!

So while we fight lets go have Sakura get the diner ready back at base

>Do you wish to inquire about anything in particular?

Ask specifically what we all know.

Tell what we do know, but don't tell them about the Release.

Writing, writing.

(I'm not gonna write up a full stat sheet for everyone, since you will only be controlling Tsuki directly)

Wargle ded! Panic!

He slow as fuck

always give the QM 40 mins give or take 15mins

As you sensei plan out your route, you propose a little bit of information exchange.

“I’m sure we’d all like to know what each other is capable. That way we can plan accordingly.” you say.

Lee pipes up immediately. “I’m an expert in Taijutsu! I’m strong and fast, like Guy sensei!”

Sakura shoots him down almost immediately. “And you can’t use ninjutsu, and have only basic proficiency in ninja tools, you clod.”

Lee deflates.

“Meanwhile, Tsuki-hime, I’ve been learning some water based support jutsu- although it’s mainly been through independent study. Guy-sensei has been training me in Taijutsu, as well. So while I’m not necessarily on his level, I’m more than proficient.”

Sasuke then speaks up. “I know several fire attacking jutsu, along with the Uchiha clan’s signature Great Fireball and Phoenix Flower techniques. And before you ask, no, my sharingan have not awakened yet. As brother always reminds me.”

He glares at Itachi, but it’s more out of annoyance than malice.

You give them a rough breakdown of your abilities and those of your teammates.

Sasuke quirks an eyebrow. “He taught you the Great Fireball? Interesting. You should see if you can learn the Phoenix Flower as well- it’s a useful technique. Good to know there’s an emerging talent like myself on your team.”

Was that supposed to be a complement?

As you discuss, your sensei return to the group.

“Alright everyone! It’s time to head out!” Guy says, shooting the signature thumbs up pose from before.

Itachi clarifies. “We’re going to head north today. We’ll probably hit the Valley by nightfall, and set up camp. From there, we’ll head west, into the Land of Hot Springs, skirting the Land of Rice Fields as much as possible. If you have any questions, you can ask along the way.”

>Good to know there’s an emerging talent like myself on your team.”

Tsundere Sasuke?

Sorry for the slow pace tonight. If I cannot pick up the pace of my writing, I may end tonight early. Moving cross country and some of the associated drama kind of has me in a funk- and I need to adjust my schedule for people so it isn't so late.

He just respects talent and strength.

It's fine.

I whine, but I do appreciate your writing.

Just take it easy.

Hey mate I was joking. Trying to make some anons laugh yeah? Don't worry about it. Also make sure you have all your socks!

Is there any reason why the Land of Rice is in turmoil for some reason? Political learning is vital if we are to be hokage

Props for actually writing so soon afterwards though. Whenever I switch locations it always takes me a day or two before I can really do ANYTHING with any competence, even things like questing that're supposed to be fun.

All things considered you're doing fine, dude.

The eight of you head out, heading due north along the river. It’s going to be a safe trip- this area is the heartland of the Land of Fire- you’re not expecting any problems. Eventually, you all break into a comfortable rhythm.

After about an hour, Itachi pulls up along-side you. “So, you asked for more details. I can give you the full report, or just the highlights. I know you’re concerned, but the intel for this mission is good. We have no reason to believe these are anything more than armed thugs. They don’t even seem related to the issues in the Land of Rice Fields.”

1. I want the full report
2. The highlights are fine.
3. Ask about the Land of Rice Fields instead

>1. I want the full report

>1. I want the full report

>1. I want the full report
Tsuki never passes up a chance at intel
