Jumpchain CYOA Thread #1372: No One Jumpchains Like Gaston Edition

Not much can be done when he wrote her to be unlikeable from the start.

I mean, reading that. It's LITERALLY a ninja Liberal Arts degree, no wonder none of the poor sods ever got anything done.

You either have to buck the trend like Tsunade and Konan, or be born with something unique like Karin or bunny goddess. It's a damn steep learning curve.

>only for people to write letters to him about how much they hate her

Damn. That...explains a few things about what people have told me about her life post-timeskip.

Yeah. Her introduction shot the actually good parts of her character in the foot right from the start. It's only around the Chunin Exams I started to find her bearable again because she was actually doing shit on her own instead of just reacting to stuff and saying stupid stuff.

That's true for the boys to though. Top tier ninja just carve through armies worth of fuckers without slowing down.

I think I'm going to purposefully flunk the Kunoichi classes while acing everything else in the curriculum just to prove a point.

Nah that's just Kishimoto being a master fucking troll. Never forget the time we though Sasuke had cheated or had a threesome with both waifus.

That you don't want to do infiltration missions? I mean the reasoning behind it is pretty practical. It's not "girls should know how to do this" it's "our spies and assassins should know how to do stuff girls traditionally do"

I mean, you start after already graduating. So if your point is "I can go back to school whenever I want" then yeah, sounds like a plan.

That's not all satanspiral, her fans harassed one of his assistants on twitter due to Hinata winning.
To be fair, Sasuke totally should have had a threesome with them, and should have knocked up Karin for her superior Uzumaki genes.

I mean, from what I gather you're not wrong. It just seems the figurative glass ceiling's a lot easier for the boys to break through considering Orochimaru coasting on his doctorate of Mad Science let him survive a conflict that killed pretty much every villain with a better pedigree.

HA! Oh god, it's like the Steven Universe fandom all over again.

That those classes are worthless. They shouldn't be mandatory.

If they're serious about infiltration, they need to have optional classes dealing with it for both sexes too.

My backgrounds are me, so I think I can trust them to act how I'd expect myself to, in broad strokes, before the jump starts.

Orochimaru got killed by Itachi. Then he got better because being immortal is his thing. During the 4th war he looked at Madara and was just like "fuck it not even trying that one".

>If they're serious about infiltration, they need to have optional classes dealing with it for both sexes too.
Who says the boys don't have shit like this and why would you make it optional?

Jumpers.

What's your fighting style?
Kung-fu? Gun-fu? Beamspam? Good ol' fashioned Jason Voorhees slow-stalking and tanking?

Honestly if you really just want to flunk your exams it doesn't seem like it'd affect your future life very much. The classes are presumably designed on the assumption not every ninja is a one-in-a-million talent of the century.

Naruto's a goddamn idiot and he grew up to be the goddamn Hokage mainly because of pedigree and stubbornness.

You just have to BELIEVE in IT

>Who says the boys don't have shit like this
They'd probably mention it if the girls literally have to go to a gender specific class about that crap.

>and why would you make it optional?
It's worthless. Not only do none of the relevant ninjas do anything like that, but it is actively cutting into practical class time for the girls, disadvantaging them.

Justice uses a normal sword most of the time, with an overly stylized method of fighting.
He drops the sword when he gets serious, in favor of a self-designed hand-to-hand style.
When he gets 100% serious, or is just really pissed off, he pulls out The Sword and uses a style that is completely utilitarian, no flashy nonsense unless it directly makes it more effective.

Considering that it mentions Flower Arrangement, it's likely something of a class for how women should act in high society, that in japan would actually include skills that men would be considered effeminate to know.

When I hit Marvel, I'm going to go to Wakanda, I'm going to pull out a pickaxe, and I'm going to farm vibranium. I'm doing this less for the vibranium than I am to piss off Wakanda because they're the nation equivalent of Reed Richards, who can do no wrong and magically fixes everything (except when Doom is involved). And I'm pretty sure that while it's rare, it's not one of a kind, because they've been mining it for centuries.

While I'm almost certain I picked up something like this in Super Mario RPG, having it codified to be this specific will help even further. If you think a house isn't all that specific, you really need to look at modern building codes.

Ninja Academy is practically a preschool when they first enter. Let them have their arts and crafts damnit.

Well, see for why I don't think the boys go through an equivalent.

Not selling me on it not being worthless either.

>Forge of a God (800, Builder)

>Engines of War (400, Builder)
Here we go, then. I'm going to assume of course that this only works for things of a given size, but if I can craft things instantaneously... and I have raw supplies of virtually everything in the basement of the warehouse thanks to Minecraft... well, I'm a one man armory. Handy. (Also, anything I make won't weigh my down? Oh, I will make SO much use of that.)
>Full Server (0)
Hooray! Companions! Foraging skills and danger sense and primal fear and luck of the draw for everyone! Except me. Because they're drop-ins and I am not.

You know what I have to say to Ark?

Screw that.

I'm going to build a giant fucking tower, and I'm going to RAIN MY WRATH DOWN ON EVERYONE WHO ACTS LIKE AN ASSHAT ACROSS THE WORLD. Everyone else can come visit and we'll act like the mother of all trading centers, just like I did in Rust.

But the asshats are going to BURN, because I despise that behavior, and that's what Ark is all about anymore.

That is all.

The ultimate power of H U G S

Weapon Master Ninja. And by that, I mean I use everything in my vicinity like the apprentice of Jackie Chan and cheat my ass off to victory. Although after picking up a Sacred Spear with powers from some other weapons I collected due to imports, I'm pretty in love and likely won't be smacking people with ladders as often.

>They'd probably mention it if the girls literally have to go to a gender specific class about that crap.
The one deep cover agent we see is a boy. He probably got trained in how to act like a boy. They aren't being taught flower arrangement for fun they're being taught it to infiltrate places. Boys also do infiltration and probably have similar classes.

>It's worthless. Not only do none of the relevant ninjas do anything like that, but it is actively cutting into practical class time for the girls, disadvantaging them.
I mean no it's not. They could be expected to infiltrate or hide in another country and that shit is very necessary for something like that. AN din terms of combat skill they don't seem disadvantaged at all. Naruto and Sasuke are massive fucking exceptions to the rule.
>Naruto's a goddamn idiot and he grew up to be the goddamn Hokage mainly because of pedigree and stubbornness.
That and having enough natural charisma to land like thirty princess if we go by the movies.

...

Did you get a dinosaur?

Dinosaurs are irrelevant. I am a dragon.

Stando Battles

I need any and all blood-related perks. From Crow (Anima), to Chaos in the Blood (Webmage), to Blood Projection (Basilisk). Literally anything that has to do with blood (preferably your own), that isn't something that only figuratively deals with blood (like royal bloodlines)- It has to directly interact, enhance, or alter blood (again, preferably the user's) in some way.

Jumpers what's your most embarrassing moment?

Give boys arts and crafts then.

Kabuto was taken from an orphanage and raised specifically by Anbu. He didn't even go to the ninja school.

>They could be expected to infiltrate or hide in another country and that shit is very necessary for something like that.
When does anyone in Naruto do this?

>AN din terms of combat skill they don't seem disadvantaged at all.
Consider that all the girls from Naruto's year are bottom of the barrel when it comes to usefulness in the series.

Valkyrie Profile, Darkstalkers, Generic Horror Movie, Okami, Soul Eater.

So I just got back from seeing Logan and Christ was that brutal. I'm probably going to retcon that whole thing. But I'm wondering what I should do other than giving Xavier and probably the other X-Men blood transfusions while having Omega Regen and trying to keep the Transigen corn syrup from being mass produced, but I'm wondering what else I should do. Try to get the adamantium out of Wolverine maybe?

>Consider that all the girls from Naruto's year are bottom of the barrel when it comes to usefulness in the series.
Sakura is literally one of the best ninja in the world. Like she gets in and hits Kaguya hard enough to actually break off her horns. She also is strong and fast enough to fight an Akatsuki member with some help. She's not as useful as Naruto or Sasuke but compared to say fucking Kiba?

I mean, Sakura and Hinata do a lot more than Kiba, Shino and Choji.

>Sakura is literally one of the best ninja in the world.
Nobody buys it, Kishimoto.

I feel like I'm stating the obvious, but Bloodborne is kinda heavy on blood fun.

I just throw people around with Telekinesis.
It's lazy, but I don't have to bother doing much else because it's so effective.

I pick up fighting styles and spiritual techniques and freely mix and match them. Most effective at long and short range, but not powerless at any range. Bows over guns, fists more powerful than bows. Non-lethal takedown specialist, aiming for pressure points and disabling an enemy's ability to attack.

Basically, I'm kind of a pussy but I don't let that stop me.

I mean think of the boys not named Naruto and Sasuke in their class. Maybe Shikimaru does more then Sakura and even then it's a pretty close tie.

Oh, and I stack unpredictability, reaction time, and dodging perks. Not getting hit is the most effective way to not take damage. Hitting them where they are unguarded is the most effective way to stop them.

Look, Sakura is an utter joke and nobody relevant. Kishimoto keeps trying to force her back in with things like special training from Tsunade and she's still nothing. Now, Hinata herself doesn't do anything, she's relevant because of the romance, and Hinata's combat skill is due to her Byakugan, not anything she learned from the school.

You should be thinking of people like Tenten and Ino.

>You should be thinking of people like Tenten and Ino.
So weapon master with like five panels of screen time and the person who's part of one of the most effective teams in the series? I mean Ino runs the entire communications system for the Shinobi Army after her dad gets blown up.

They're irrelevant and weak compared to the boys in their class, is my point.

But they aren't at all. Hinata is way more relevant and does way more shit then Kiba or Shino. Ino is consistently the peer of Choji and Shikimaru in their team.

Tenten isn't in their year, moron.

Your point is wrong, because Hinata and Sakura stomp Kiba and Choji's ass nine times out of ten. Those are people with names too. They shit all over the people who didn't even graduate.

since we are talking Naruto, who did you companion in ninja land /jc/?

My two teammates and teacher.

I've invented several supernatural martial arts over the years, most notably Kaleid Hero Style and Space CQC. I hardly ever use them since I'm seldom fought in my true form.

So my basic attacks boil down to:

-The Purity Pummel: A variable blast of light, that compresses enough photonic energy to wipe out a universe into a space anywhere between a galaxy and a teacup. The real nasty part comes from its' property of nullifying other supernatural powers; it's an amalmagram of the Control Light, Ra Tilt and Bel Fire spells reinforced by the light of my soul and an Essence 5 World-Searing Solar Glory-equivalent.

-The Gate of Heaven: An omnidirectional vector-manipulating portal launch system created through reverse engineering the Moonstone. It uses my High Speed Materialisation of Nothingness to forge different Virtues and Soulfire into the hyperdimensional manifested Archangel Blades to emulate the Swords of the Cross' supernature-bypassing effect, and uses sourcery to distort the fate-quantum axis of the attacks such that they always hit first.

-The Oculus Event Horizon: Twin homing vortexes of magical energy distorted into humanity-flame projections of the Golden Ratio, ripped straight ouf of the Root and fired through my recursive mystic eyes, by temporarily shapeshifting my brain into a microcosm of the Type Moon universe.

And for defence, what I like to think of as blob-portals. I meshed up the Territory trick from Fairy Tail with the HSMON and Eliatrope portals to toss around little blobs of space to deflect attacks. That, and using Observation channeled through magical constructs based on the Eyes of the World to manipulate causality.

Best Xmen movie so far, easily

Nah, reckon that's the crucial part. Got the power enhancer power? With it, I'm pretty sure Logan's buffed regen could let him live with the adamantium indefinitely; at this point removing it'd hurt him more than it'd help

>Completely ignoring

You two are really vicious flower arrangement fanatics.

Tenten. I always liked her schtick even though she ultimately didn't amount to much. I also specialize in weapons of all types, and started my chain woefully under-powered compared to my peers for a long time. so I kinda picked her up as a disciple since I saw myself in her.

My answer to that is quite literally, "Yes."

Lemme explain, within my first thirty jumps, I picked up:
> Technique Mimicry (Medaka Box)
> Adaptability (Wuxia)
> Shared Heritage (DoA)
> Void Slave Skills - Weapon Mastery (Familiar of Zero)
> Superior Combination (KR Neo-Heisei 1)
> Like Riding a Bike (SAO)
> Killdozer (Tomb Raider)
> Innovative (AtLA)
> Like the Back of Your Hand (Skullgirls)

Basically, my fighting style swings between two extremes, it's either I use a single style with a crazy-ass level of effectiveness seen once every 500 years or something like that, or I use what could only be described as The Fighting Style, the Style all others come from and will one day return to...well, at least that was how the Head Abbot in that Shaolin Monastery in Samurai Jack described it.

As for how I fight, it depends on the World and the situation, but it usually has me learning the local fighting styles and using one or all of them. Learning said styles sometimes involve me picking fights and learning my opponent's style as they try to cave my head in.

Oh! There's an actual perk for that! Check the Aoki Hagane no Arpeggio Jump.

I notice the wiki doesn't even cite a source on that so for all we know they're talking out of their ass. And besides we never see anything implying that cuts into their training time. Maybe while the girls learn flower arrangment the boys do woodshop or some shit so they can blend in as peasant farmers.

If we're only counting things they got from school then, shouldn't Sakura win? Literally ALL the kids from that year had a special family or gimmick, except Sakura. She's weak as shit, but actually shows the things she got taught in the forest of death. Traps, deception, henge, substitution. I hate Sakura, but your argument is bull.

If we're counting Tenten, Lee and Neji despite not being from the same year, Neji doesn't count because he only uses clan techniques. Neither does Lee because everything he knows didn't come from school, it came from Gai.

That time my sex tape got leaked in Generation Kill. Those poor jarheads. They didn't deserve to have their minds broken by the mystery of how exactly I did the transdimensional salsa with the incarnation of cosmic fire.

I WANT to destroy all the copies post-Spark. But I'm pretty sure some of my naughtier companions nabbed and hid some of them in places I won't look.

Flower arrangement fanatics CAN be hella vicious, to be fair.

Karin and sensei Orochimaru! The former because hey, she was my kyodai even if she had a tendency to drool on my spare ninja sweaters. Well, that and because apart from the whole stalking thing she genuinely was one of the few people in the village to GET me. The latter because we had a great time skipping out most of the war to do science, and he pretty much went beningly amoral ever since he discovered modern genetic engineering techniques. The man gets along famously with Fran.

The school point is over Hinata. Byakugan is her only point of relevance and it doesn't involve the school at all, let alone flower arrangement.

I mean, not even Sakura ever uses it. Only Ino does. For her family business, which doesn't involve infiltration at all.

Wait, I think I got involved in an argument without knowing the full context. What exactly is it you're trying to say? What I saw was the girls in Naruto's year sucked compared to the boys, which was blatantly untrue.

I don't like the kunoichi classes. They're worthless and I think they shouldn't be mandatory. If the school really cares about infiltration despite nobody in Naruto ever doing that, they should have optional classes for both boys and girls instead of wasting the girls' time on flower arrangement.

Shit I don't really disagree with that. Is there proof that flower arranging lasts past the first couple of years? The only time I remember seeing it was when they were itty bitty.

the plan: Like I said use mind control on my boss /the board and my personal fortune to switch us over to a NGO that distributes our technology and protects the world pro bono,fight undead . Distribute safer, more sustainable Tokusatsu-tech ,soon enough driver belts become More ubiquitous than guns and BOARD has transferred the majority of their shares to me,build an island somewhere not far from Japan and establish another Dr. beetle Institute for the advancement of human advancement

1. Sing at them.

2. If they don't go away, begin to dance sword fight with them

3. Blast magic at it until it goes away

4. Shoot them.

5. The ENOUGH spell, which makes a barrier appear around everyone and seperate my allies from my enemies so no one fights each other anymore. The barriers are super strong but they move with the other person, but no one can hurt each other physically.

This spell is super powerful and a single casting burns through over half my mana reserves, so I only use it in emergencies.

There isn't much detail given to us beyond the fact that there are kunoichi classes meant to teach them now to blend in as foreign women.

Ainz, get out of my chain.

depends what effect I'm going for lately my fighting style has been "eight trigrams hexagon staff but with a guitar covered in lightning that is also a machine gun and dodging As I Constantly Breakdance and contort in ways that people should it be able to"

the yo-yo incident,I still get remarks about the yo-yo incident from my companions the unspoken commandment of my faith is"don't mention the yo-yo incident"

Spam instant-death spells.

Anything else is just for showing.

Usually I am not in any fit state to be thinking about 'tactics' when I fight.

thank you So very very much for such beautiful And hilarious writeups

I cant actually find any info on this martial arts sinanju style, can someone help me out here? Whats it good for and what can it do? Whats it look like when being used?

So Orchimaru is just chilling in Konoha in Boruto? And no one has a problem with it?

Kind of a kick in the nuts for Hiruzen, Anko, and all of those people he killed, huh?

It's from a book series called "The Destroyer", though personally I know very little about it.

Karma Houdini.

He's not in Konoha per se but yeah he's just chilling in his lab under watch.
Basically everyone got a free pardon after the fourth war because trying to get revenge on people fucked things up before and Naruto asked them not to do that any more.

It's entirely fictitious, think early shonen body reinforcement and from what I can tell it's a hard style that can even attack When you are blocking. and being amazing at sex, Basically. you can Canonically drive women Literally Insane with how good you are in bed . If You do the whole thing instead of skipping a few steps.

Compared to a lot of wuxia martial arts it's much less impressive then the jump doc makes it sound compared to other martial arts. Deflecting walls of arrows and skipping across water aren't uncommon things around there.

>Compared to a lot of wuxia martial arts it's much less impressive then the jump doc makes it sound compared to other martial arts. Deflecting walls of arrows and skipping across water aren't uncommon things around there.

oh yeah no argument here, it's definitely not late wuxia levels of power, but it's a lot better than what can be accomplished with real-world martial arts. I mean Remo can flip a tank,and dodge bullets by looking at where they're going to be fired and moving before the trigger is pulled but that's about his limit.

And a lot of that might be coming from him being an incarnation of Shiva iirc.

isn't that a spoiler? well I suppose the statue of limitations is up on that,they Have been out for a while.
didn't the eye of Shiva get removed when he had plastic surgery to go into hiding? I thought that was his connection to her.

Jumpchian is pretty free reign on spoilers and I'm pretty sure it's been out a while at this point.
I honestly can't remember if it actually broke the connection.

Okay folks, how does this look?

sesquipedalian loquaciousness -200 discount for smart space monkey
your mastery of the languages you speak is vast to the point of completion, from now on whenever you have fluency over a language Your knowledge of aforementioned language is total, every single word, loan word , root word , idiom , piece of jargon, chemical name, turn of phrase, rule of grammar, etc. is known to you

So you just know the names and not the meanings? Because otherwise that's an absurd amount of knowledge to gain.

you know the meanings, but not the uses or interactions.

it doesn't teach you chemistry so much as what the names of the chemicals are,that stuff comes with the capstone,also remember that not every language has every word.

Too good for 200 then.

noted.

There is literally nothing with stealing candy from babies.

Eh. Doesn't seem to have a lot of use. I mean, being a literal sapient dictionary is nice, I guess, but how will that really benefit you on a practical level?

Eh, depends on the other perks in the jump. It doesn't look like it has all too many uses, and a jumper with an infinite memory perk could gain the same effects in a few days.

What, do you want a perk specifically for stealing candy from babies or something?

>being a living dictionary is too overpowered
It's a stupidly specific variant of perfect memory. I really don't think that's worth 300.
