This quest is set within the universe of Naruto, long after the end of the series, but ignoring the events of the Boruto Manga. Of course, because this is Naruto we're talking about, the geopolitics and technology haven't advanced as quickly as they would in the real world. As such, the technology is similar to that of Boruto the Movie, and the villages you know and love are largely the same.
However, the characters will be less familiar, because as much time has passed between the Last and now as passed between the Founding of the Hidden Villages and the Main Series.
After the announcement that the train would be stopping in Hidden Sand by nightfall, you returned to your sleeper car and gathered your effects. Once your team had brought their luggage together, it was around noon. You have a few options of what you do for the rest of the day, though you don’t have to do anything if you don’t want to. Whatever you do though, Hakurin is likely to follow you.
>A) Just hang around with your team (skip to Hidden Sand)
>B) Talk with someone on your team (Who? What say?)
>C) Find someone from the Mist team (Who?)
>D) Find someone from the Cloud team (Who?)
>E) Something else
Ethan Price

Nathan Ramirez
>A) Just hang around with your team (skip to Hidden Sand) Try to explain to Hakurin that we didn't mean to hit on her the other night and hope things don't get awkward between us
David Clark
Skipping to Hidden Sand. Do you rebuff your teammate?
>A) Yes
>B) No
Aaron Hall
B I want to cuck our teammate so hard he becomes sasuke
Nicholas Hernandez
>C) Don't necessarily shoot her down at all, but try and subtly figure out exactly how deep a hole we've dug for ourselves. Like, what are her expectations of us going forward?
Gavin Myers
>A) Yes
Eli Powell
this has anyone told her about being fucking plastered?
Henry Collins
I mean, I'd LIKE to think it would be obvious to everyone in the room.
Nathaniel Roberts
Rolled 1 (1d3)
No, Sensei and Jimmaru find it too funny to intervene. She may have a sneaking suspicion though. Jimmaru doesn't like Hakurin more than he likes the wimminz. Rolling a d3 for this.
Easton Bailey
This we definitely shouldn't close the door but letting her know may help the relationship later if we do go down that path

I hope we fuck someone up hard when we next encounter an enemy. We've been a bitch the past fights we can finally get the chance to destroy someone
Elijah Rodriguez
It won before the 2 vote.
Gavin Adams
I missed that, sorry. C wins, writing. The only fight that went poorly for you was the one on the bridge. And you got the best result possible.
Kayden Peterson
mfw my question is acknowledged but not my vote in itself
you're already writing, so it's whatever
Brandon Green
Dammit, I was okay with best Future!Hyuuga... ;;
Also, where the fuck is Jiraiya?
Josiah Reed
C won
Jace Ramirez
You decide to hang out with your team until the train reaches Hidden Sand. Sensei told you after the announcement of your train's arrival time that it would be best to stay in the sleeper car you've been staying in, because when you reach Hidden Sand, their ninja will want to ask you some questions. It's a slow day, honestly, the only thing breaking the monotony being Hakurin's newfound affection.
You decide to figure out exactly what happened between you and Hakurin last night, but how?
>A) Directly ask sensei
>B) Directly ask Jimmaru
>C) Coerce sensei (80)
>D) Coerce Jimmaru (60)
>E) Ask Hakurin directly
Ryder Anderson

WHATS WE ROLLING FOR?
Bentley Hall
holy shit man.
Cooper Hernandez
You successfully coerced sensei, good job. Now I just have to figure out how. The Dice Gods must love Dice Praiser's footjobs. >Writing I appreciate any suggestions as to what would sway sensei.
Ayden Gutierrez
PRAISE JIRAIYA, FOR HE IS THE ONE TRUE SAVIOR, FOR HE IS THE BRINGER OF THE DICE'S WORD, FOR HE IS THE MESSIAH!
I should probably stop going to a Christian school to not go insane religiously.
James Sanders
No Country, Its just the dices willing. No footjobs needed.
Kids when?
I BRING THE HIGH ROLLS, AND I TAKE IT THE HIGH ROLLS.
Juan Parker
Rolled 48 (1d100)
99 ain't good enough, sensei deserves the best
Aiden Cooper
Nah, they know I'm suffering in my college's honors program and living for these quests.
Also, just be kind of embarrassed about it and ask what happened because we've never had something like this happen before. I don't know, I'm just happy we succeeded.
Time for superbloodline Clearly, your best is shit.
Robert King
Hit on her until she spills the beans. Alternatively, staring contest. Erotic staring contest
Nicholas Ross
Making Great?Grand father proud of our SUPERIOR GENETICS. I won't lie, I just fucking got home, saw a roll chance and went for it. Guess my Coz knocking up his girlfriend granted me this luck.
Adam Morales
I've figured out how you're persuading her now. >Writing If you had successfully persuaded Jimmaru, he would have asked for swimsuit pictures of girls in return.
Angel Morris
Honestly lets go on a date or two with her see how we pair up
Luis Young
perhaps finding sensei while alone and saying "Look. This is funny as fuck from an outside perspective, but if I can't get a handle on what the fuck I said and therefor what she expects, this could go tits up for focus or morale." or somethin like that. Cuz if this goes tits up, squad unity may lower.
Alternatively, assail her with bad puns. that might be more effective
Carter King
You're bribing her, now I'll stop being distracted.
Asher Reed
I see cousins knocking up their girls is a common problem we have, Jiraiya. What's next, strip-tease? We're 12, man.
Jose Diaz
>we get the 99 on a DC80 >we have to bribe her even on that roll The dice are not pleased.
Connor Kelly
I didn't say you were bribing her with money did I? >Writing now, I swear
Jose Cook
So we're bribing her with sexual favors?
Is she a shotacon?
I expect smutbins if that's the case.
Jack Reed
>What's next, strip-tease? We're 12, man. It worked for Naruto!
Elijah Bailey
First world problem
If she touches our fucking booze. She losses her tongue.
Brayden Morris
I wouldn't call Deliverance-style backwoods in the mountains first world, Jiraiya, but yeah.
>All this thirst
Listen, man, I might have wanted Sensei at first, but not this much, man. Calm down.
Kevin King
This is now a smut quest.
Carson Ramirez
But this is a blue board, nigga. We don't need that shit, we're already hated for being a quest on Veeky Forums
Jeremiah Cruz
It worked for Chuckles.
Kayden Rogers
Yeah, I don't know that reference.
Also, I just remembered that Laze is going to be running something on the 30th. So excited for that.
Lucas Diaz
No, we ain't thirsty like that mate. Though I do miss that man.
Easton Thomas
See Smut is pretty much tolerated so long as it's text and flies under the radar fetish-wise. Also, pastebin links.
Justin Perry
>Chuckles >under the radar Fetishwise pffffft you're funny.
Elijah Foster
When your able to get sensei alone with you, you decide that it would be best to plead your case to her. She may be somewhat twisted as far as her sense of humor goes, but if you cite team unity or some kind of morale problem, as your sensei, she's sure to back down and tell you what you want to know. "Look, Hōōmaru-sensei," you begin once you're sure Hakurin is off somewhere, and Jimmaru is safely napping, "I know that this seems funny from the outside, but I can't get a handle on what I said, and I think that might make team unity and morale suffer."
You look into her eyes, hopeful that it reached her. "Ohohohoho!" dashes your hopes like a baby seal on a samurai's seal-club. Once sensei is done laughing into the back of her hand she addresses you, "Kuro, you won't pull the wool over my eyes with that sweet talk like you did Hakurin." She smirks at you, "I know this isn't hurti-"
You cut her off, asking her if she wants a year free in an online rpg that you know she plays. That shuts her up, and she questions exactly what you mean. You show her a picture of a card offering a year's subscription of the aforementioned rpg you took from Shirou after she disappeared on your birthday. Sensei's eyes light up, and she tells you exactly what you said to Hakurin.
Armed with this knowledge, you head back to Hakurin, and apologize for what happened, explaining yourself. She's embarrassed, but agrees to put it behind her. After this, the journey is fairly uneventful. You reach the Hidden Sand shortly after nightfall, and the Hidden Cloud team passes by you on their way off the train.
>A) Say something to them (What? Who?)
>B) Just say simple goodbyes
>C) Something else
Thomas Martin
>Wish them good luck
>Armed with this knowledge we apologize You what? That wasn't part of the vote? Fucking ell. I wanted to know what we did/said, not stop playing along.
Oliver Anderson
Second this proposal

Cameron Edwards
You wish the Cloud genin and their jounin sensei luck as they pass by. V responds to you with some nonsensical rap, L responds in kind, Chuui mumbles an apology for the bar incident, and Nemui just sort of nods to you. You notice some minor damage on L, and Nemui looks terrible, there's a bandage above his left eye and he looks very tired. A few minutes after they've passed by, two Sand chunin come in to question you. Hōōmaru-sensei is called in first, followed by Hakurin, you're called third. They sit you down in sensei's cabin, and you finally get a good close look at the two of them. The boy is wearing a long robe, like you've seen some sand shinobi wear, though he doesn't have the traditional headgear, instead, he has a bright red mohawk and a pair of heavy goggles hung around his neck. The girl is wearing some kind of armor bikini and a fishnet version of the outfit you wore on the road from Hidden Leaf to Hidden Stone. For once, your fellow shinobi are actually wearing forehead protectors, the boy's on his belt, and the girl's sown to her sleeve.
They ask you about the kidnapping, what you know of it, and what happened during it.
>A) Answer truthfully
>B) Embellish
>C) Lie
>D) Avoid their questions for your pride
>E) Something else
These chunin are around Shirou's age, I know you'll want to know.
Jose Johnson
>D) Avoid their questions for your pride
Connor Diaz
>A)
Never lie to authorities because we might get chewed out for it. Besides, they probably know the truth from sensei and Hakurin anyways.
Robert Wilson

Jeremiah Bailey
A wins. Classic Toad Summoner, with their filthy lies. >Bathroom break, then writing
Camden Baker
With how much they lie, it seems like it should be instead of the Uchiha getting the boot.
Grayson Cruz
I simply wanted us to avoid the question. I never said anything about lying.
Anthony Wright
You tell the truth about what happened the morning of Nemui's kidnapping, and you're greeted by laughter from both of the Sand chunin. They dismiss you after the revelation of you sharing the bar with Chuui, and you still hear their tittering through the door. Now that that's over though, you head to the hotel that sensei booked your team for tonight. The train will leave tomorrow night, after the Sand has had time to search it. You fall asleep in the room you're to share with Jimmaru before he returns from the train. The next morning you wake up before him.
>A) Spend some time relaxing (skip to tonight on the train)
>B) Explore a bit
>C) Shop for something (What?)
>D) Wait for Jimmaru to wake up, maybe you two can do something
>E) Something else
Aaron Phillips
Exactly what a Uchiha or a Toad Summoner would say. :^]
Jayden Wood
>B)
Levi Roberts
>B) Explore a bit
And now we're the laughing stock. GG
Connor Anderson
>implying we weren't already
After trying to be Kakashi-style stoic, we're now punished with eternal humiliation.
Ryder Reyes
If I'm not getting even five people I might just end the thread.
Angel Gray
If the other eleven people would fucking stick around and post more than once per thread, maybe you would get those five. Literally, the worst thing in quest threads is to just pop in anonymously, vote once, then fuck off.
>B) Explore a bit Sorry, work stuff keeping me busy
Nolan Johnson
Please, Country, don't give up. I've been looking forward to this. ;;
Jaxon Kelly
This train has been like the boat in Berserk. pretty much nothing has happened since we got on, and we've been on it for almost three threads. I say make a dash for the next plot point/cliffhanger and then stop. You need a hook for the start of next thread or we're going to be dragging along on life support for a while.
Jackson Martin
Fine, I won't shut it down. You can even not get back on the train if you'd like. >Writing
Joseph Brooks
I'm fine with the train personally. It shouldn't take too much longer to get home so it doesn't bother me much.
Elijah Gray
I'm fine with the train, I can't fast forward through life so why would I do that here?
Julian Ramirez
You decide that you want to explore the Village Hidden in the Sand on your own, leaving Jimmaru alone in the room you share. On your way down the hall on your way out, you see the door to sensei and Hakurin's room is ajar, and sensei is sprawled out on her bed. Hakurin is on the other bed brushing out her hair and gives you a wave as you leave.
You start to wander the streets around the motel, there's not much around there however. You realize there's a reason as to why Hidden Sand isn't a very popular tourist destination. You make your way through a marketplace, not really interested in buying anything. You think that the Sand Capitol Building might be a good place to sight see or at least see something more than orange buildings and sand. You round the stairs that head up the buildings around the Suna Capitol. However, you hear the sounds of combat from around the buildings, and look in that direction. There are a few courtyards back there, but only one has shinobi practicing on it.
>A) Observe them
>B) Go back to your sightseeing
>C) Interrupt them, see what's going on
>D) Something else

Children are very creative creatures. They may do some new move we would never think of as adults which we can then copy. Do not lump me with the snakes.
Jordan Torres
You decide that you'll watch these ninja train. What immediately pops out at you is that all of them are about your age, which is kind of young for genin. The next thing you notice about them is that they're training pretty hard, though it's all one sided. Er... two sided? Whatever it is, one of them is handily beating another one of them, and is then getting thoroughly trounced by the third. This all comes to a head when the sandy-haired boy throws the girl into the pole of the chain-link fence surrounding the court, before going back to fight the brown haired boy. It looks like she hit it pretty hard, and she's not getting up. Should you rush over to help her? Her teammates won't.
