Shinobi Quest #33

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 and her allies faced more of the trials of the Forest of Death, defeat a Giant Snake and a genin team from Amegakure in short order. When trying to track down the missing members of the allied Team InoShikaCo and Team 7, Tsuki and Nori stumbled upon a fateful meeting- Choji stayed behind to take of Ino, a short distance away.

With Shikamaru, Sai, Hinata and Neji all laid out before them, Tsuki chose not to be intimidated by the man known as Orochimaru- and even decided to fight him. The sannin, however, was far above her and Nori’s level- or, at least, when Tsuki was holding back.

In the interest of saving her companions, and potentially driving him away, Tsuki engaged in her Stellar Release for the first time outside of the safety of her home. To her surprise, she was able to keep up with the legendary shinobi, although she was never truly sure if he was just testing her or not.

Her luck ran out, however, as the strict stamina limit of Afterglow quickly caught off with her- without it, she was no longer quick enough to match his movements…..

“Struggle, Tsuki. I wish to see how strong you can become.”

These last words of Orochimaru were his parting gift before being knocked out by the Sannin.


Awaking in a cave some time later, she was given the rundown of the aftermath of these events- Orochimaru left, allowing her and Choji, along with the returning Kabuto, to move you all to safety. With the second scroll Kaburo acquired, your progression to the next round was almost assured…. But you needed rest, and were unable to stay awake any longer…..

Now that Neji's been all infected by snake spit or whatever I'm kinda hoping we get a romance arc with him. Tragic love story, ho. Hopefully better than Sakura and the Sauceman tho
>>
>>48994448
Nah. It will be like Sakura's canon life. Neji will be cold and distance. Also, tragic love is overrated.
>>
>>48994476
I kinda just want to beat his face in for fun. You know. Epicly.
>>
>>48994533
Me, too but Tsuki has to have good ties with the different Clans of the village.
>>
>>48994448
He's gotten worse for me. He wasn't giving Hinata as much shit and might have been less of a little shit. Now he's got part of Saske's cannon bitch fit.
>>
>>48994577
Eh, he's part evil now. I think we'd be forgiven if he attacked first.

>>48994585
It's up to Wargle. We'll see how it goes. Neji's tons different from Ketchup.

The peaceful void of sleep is quick to consume you- though that most restful abyss does not lay claim to your mind for long. Even as you teeter just on the precipice of consciousness, you can feel it- the egg, still fastened around your neck.

A gentle hand wakes you, along with the smell of spring.

“Tsuki, it’s time to wake up!” the voice sings.

You’ve heard that voice before, somewhere….

You open your eyes; slowly, at first, to adjust to the soft light streaming through the large tree above you.

Turning your head, you see her- the little girl from before. Pale white hair, with an oddly cheery disposition, just as before.

“Come on, sleepyhead! It’s important, this time!” she pulls your hand, to try and lift you up- but she’s much smaller than you, and thus her struggle is in vain.

Something in the back of your mind prods you- something about… a forest?

A forest, a test…. and blood.

While the fog occluding your mind refuses to leave, the young girl pouts at you, her small brow furrowing.

“You’re being mean, Tsuki. It’s really important, I swear!”

You…

1. Might as well wake up- she’s obviously quite convinced that you need to see…. Whatever is going on.

2. I don’t really have time for this, do I? Although… you cannot really remember why….

“I’m awake, I’m awake!” you surrender as the little girl continues to pull on you.

“There’s not very funny, you know.” she pouts.

You chuckle, and briefly consider apologizing, but she’s already dragging you off, her previous attitude lost in her haste.

You remember this path, vaguely. The shaded woods leading out into a open grassy plain, where there would be a tree stump… and rabbits. Lots of rabbits.

However, none of these things are what you find upon leaving the woods. Instead of a bright grassy plain, a windswept wasteland is all that greets you- barren and lifeless.

The little girl is unaffected by this- does she not see it, or has such a time passed that this odd world has changed…..?

She leads you for a ways, before, on the edge of your vision, a figure stands.

Peering over the edge of a cliffside, is the rabbit storyteller from before; however, she seems different than you remember her. Her fur has gone grey, her finery looking worn and rather shabby. She takes long draws from an ornate pipe, before stowing it when the two of you finally reach her.

“Ah, girls, thank you for coming. It has been some time, I fear- and even this place, the prison of our lady, is not safe any longer.”

She sighs.

“I fear this story shan’t be one with a happy ending, my dears. These humans, they have such an overwhelming need to spoil everything they touch- even other humans. It truly boggles the mind.”


The Rabbit storyteller seems to be preparing to tell a tale in progress. Shall you…

“You might ask yourself- “Are the humans truly so destructive?”

“They are of nature, as we are, after all. But yet, they destroy where we do not.”

“When our lady offered them eternal peace, and freedom from this cycle of destruction, her own sons betrayed her, and sealed her away.”

You remember this story- the tale of the Spirit Tree and it’s guardian.

“But what did her sons do with this power, the thing they so feared?”

“They taught it to the humans. Not even one generation after their death, humanity returned to it’s old ways- with one more weapon added to their arsenal.”

“We observe it all from here, in relative safety- or so we thought.”

“But our lady’s second son, with the intent of guarding her prison, brought an army- bound to him by the ties of family. These people, directly descended from our lady, would surely be less destructive?”

The storyteller makes a noise- somewhere between a cough and a chortle.

“If only it were so. Shortly after they arrived, we took to hiding, for our safety. We were the only other creatures here- surely these humans, with no enemy, all being of the same line, would live peacefully, living out their days guarding an unmoving stone?”

She gestures out into the plateau beneath the cliffside on which you are standing- when you focus, you can see them.

Corpses.

“Isolated from their brethren, they began a dispute over the second son’s will.”

“As so often with humans, this dispute turned to violence. They began the cycle of destruction again, this time on their own flesh and blood. It’s unthinkable.”

“They ravaged this peaceful land, which after it’s creation, was truly unblemished.”

“They left nothing. Nothing for their enemies- nothing for themselves. Certainly nothing for us.”

“Some of them remain, scattered across the ruins of this place. They will likely die out before too long- for that is the lot of humans; destroy everything until the only thing left to destroy is themselves.”

On the battlefield below, you see a single figure- what looks to be a small boy.

He’s digging through the corpses, trying to find something. Food, maybe?

“I can hope for little better for my children. We cannot make the trip back to the Planet, and surely when our warrens are discovered, the humans will take up the hunt once more.”
The storyteller stops speaking for a time- only to begin reciting a prayer.

“Our Lady, please, wake from your slumber.”

“Grant us, your most loyal servants, the salvation we require.”

“Without your divine grace, we are lost- but yet, I pray not for myself but for those to come.”

“Return to us, Our Lady Kaguya, and save our doomed world from itself.”

“Grant us the everlasting peace you so desired.”

“....Please, Lady Kaguya….”

Her voice breaks down into a sob- it’s then you release that the storyteller is crying.

You aren’t sure what to say- the young girl, your companion in this place, is hugging her knees, close enough to touch the storyteller, but does not. Her face seems a mixture of sadness and frustration.

You….

1. Continue to say silent.

You feel compelled to offer something to the storyteller- help, or, at the very least, some sympathy.

While you don’t necessarily agree with the anti-human sentiment, it’s hard not to see why these poor creatures would hold that view.

You reach out to touch the storyteller- and feel a decidedly odd sensation. Your hand goes right through her- as if she wasn’t actually there.

“You are merely a visitor, Tsuki. As much as we may wish, we cannot offer them physical comforts- and our words would mean precious little- even this scene is one from the past.”

You turn to see the young girl speaking, although she is still hugging her knees.

“There is a way to help, though, if you truly wish to. These poor folk still cling to life- but barely. If you were to offer them succor, they would surely aid you in any way they could. To say humans have treated them poorly is an understatement, but you are different.”

“You can save them.”


“You must-” her voice fades out to silence- and is replaced with a terrible headache.

Not blindly following something. We are smarter than that. Look at things from multiple perspectives.
>>
>>48996109
No, Ignoring them since they did nothing to or for us.
>>
>>48996127

We should embody a japanese corporation.

One that doesnt just blindly run after profits, one that looks after its employees as well.
>>
>>48996109
Making them work for her. But since they're completely loyal to their goddess, they don't see them betraying her. Also, shouldn't Tsuki protect the village from any threat?
>>48996126
The words sound similar.
>>
>>48996149
>He thinks Japanese corps are different from Western one
Anon, all corps from around the world are brutal and corrupt to a point. The Japanese corps are just better at hiding it.
>>
>>48996013
Gotta admit, while following the bunnies blindly wouldn't be smart, trying to help them out without selling out all of humanity seems like something we might try in the future. We have the egg, and it's obviously trying to tell us something important. Besides, what twelve-year-old doesn't want to do a little savior-ing?

Not a good business practice, Anon. Also, Tsuki is much smarter than the average 12-year-old.

I'm not advocating helping Moon Bitch, but I don't think I could stand idly by and let the rabbits go extinct.

>>
>>48996201
>>48996242
I like the sound of both of these. Trying to find some sort of compromise, or at least helping out the rabbits without screwing over humanity, seems like a good goal to have.
>>
to be fair, we actually know nothing about Kaguya, and Wargle's characters have been different from the manga/anime often enough that she might not even be Moon Hitler. I'd be surprised if we were totally unable to convince her not to be the Bad Guy.
>>
...What?

You can barely make out what she said- the pain is intense….!

As you clutch your head in pain, the young girl seems somewhat surprised, before her face takes on a scowl.

ARGH! The pain is too-

There is a loud crash- as if glass was breaking all around you.

Still clutching your head, you stare upwards- the sky was broken away, revealing a vast storm.

Four pairs of eyes, gleaming through the dark, swirling clouds, peer from above.


“SHE IS NOT YOURS TO TAKE, USURPER”

Four loud voices thunder in unison.

“HER DESTINY HAS YET TO UNFOLD- WE WILL NOT LET YOUR DISTORTED TRUTHS LEAD HER DOWN A FALSE PATH”

In response, the little girl seems to be shrieking- nothing coming out of her mouth is intelligible.

The world around you begins to melt away- as if it one of Maru’s frozen treats in the heat of the Konoha summer.

“WAKE”

You resist, slightly- but the dream is already fading.

Before the abyss takes you again, you are left with a single image-

That of the Rabbit Storyteller, standing alone on that cliffside, drowning in her own despair.


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


You wake. The smell of rain is followed by it’s sound….

Opening your eyes, you peer around the cave. Everyone seems to be sleeping- except Shikamaru, who is standing guard near the cave entrance.

The darkness of night seems to have fully enveloped the forest- the moonlight streaming in through the forest canopy barely illuminates the outside of the cave.

You think about talking to Shikamaru- but you really don’t have much to say. You’re still sort of tired- you really wish you had Yume right now.

You opt to make the best of it, and roll over, covering yourself with the bedroll. You just hope a dreamless sleep awaits.

You sleep fitfully, but that little sleep is thankfully dreamless.

After a few attempts, you finally give up around dawn.

You rise, and walk over to relieve Shikamaru.

“Shikamaru, have you slept?” you inquire, rubbing the sleep from your eyes.

“I’ll be fine.” He grumbles.

“Go rest. I’m fine, now.”

He sighs, but heads back towards the bedrolls all the same.

Not too long before dawn, thankfully- soon you’ll be able to get out of this forest.

After a few uneventful hours, the rest of the team begins to wake. You immediately take charge- you aren’t going to let any of these guys order you around.

“So, here’s plan:” you dictate as your teammates and allies ready themselves.

1. We’re making a beeline out of this place: We have enough scrolls, if we go fast enough, running into other teams shouldn’t be an issue.

2. We’re going to proceed cautiously, and avoid other teams at all costs.


3. Purposefully take a roundabout route- this should be safest, if time consuming.

I think other teams will actually be avoiding us.

They'll stay away and even if they do try to attack, we've got most everything we need to fuck any team save gaaras in the ass repeated.

[HIGHEST DC: 80] SUCCESS

The nine of you head out into the forest, trying to be as stealthy as possible.

While some of you are weakened and not up to full strength, between the nine of you (including 2 Byakugan) you are able to sneak past the few shinobi teams you encounter.

Specifically, the Sound shinobi make a point of attempting to find you- it’s only due to Hinata and Neji that you’re able to avoid them on several occasions.

By the end of the third day, you’ve reached the end of the treeline- it’s only flat open land between here and the tower- which dominates the evening skyline.

Should you are you party attempt to cross now?

1. Yes, let’s get out here!

2. No, let’s wait til nightfall.

So whats our plans for crippling the other major villages economies?

>>48997327

"Shikamaru, what formation do you recommend."
>>
>>48997327
>1. Yes, let’s get out here!
Hinata and Neji look around with Byakugan, and reeeeeeeally look, make sure there's no one around for like a mile in each direction
>>
>>48997327
>1. Yes, let’s get out here!
>>
>>48997327
>1. Yes, let’s get out here!

prep first though. How is everyone condition, make it a point to specifically ask about ino and neji. They were in the worst situations.

>>48997357

And have the Byakugan users scan the area.
>>
>>48997327
>1. Yes, let’s get out here!
Most other teams will be waiting, and we have clear numerical superiority along with two Byakugan users. Punching straight through is actually our best strategy.
>>
>>48997339
Not cripple but take over with the power capitalism! Sell them goods they need and shit they don't!
>>
>>48997339
Rabbit slave labor factories undercutting their industry. Make Konoha into China and suck up all the manufacturing.
>>
>>48997409
As far as we know they already have what they need and would be very reluctant to let a konoha based company build a monopoly
>>
>>48997339
>>48997409
Nah.

You need to trap them.

First help the villages sign a trade deal where the village cannot ban or stop flow of goods and material and vice versa and will work to enforce intellectual property rights and copyrights. Sell the goods at a decent price, not too expensive markup after R&D and material costs.

THEN. Trap them with the trademarked and proprietary consumables and servicing packages.

>>48997454
>>48997468
We need to globalize, turn the konoha office into just another branch, set up shop in every village and claim neutrality. Then outsource the materials and labor to the lowest common denominator and drop prices, pushing national corporations out of business or forcing them to sign trade agreements with us for access to our other markets. Manipulate the contries we have our branches in to "liberate" other countries with access to raw materials and/or cheap labor so we can drive the cost down even lower. Then we can undermine the industry of the big five and push the world into instability and potential world-war. But since everyone is so interdependent because of our multi-national conglomerate they can't fight, and instead have to use more and more litigation. Eventually the burden becomes too large and they're forced to merge into one world union, ruled by us.
>>

Holding before the end of the treeline, you have Hinata and Neji scan the nearby area. Neji still looks winded- and that strange mark hasn’t gone away. Thankfully you haven’t had to engage in combat; you don’t want him getting hurt.

They both report the same thing- no teams nearby- however one team is standing in front of the tower entrance, and hasn’t moved.

Shikamaru looks concerned at this- you can tell his lazy brain is doing laps weighing his options.

“Formation won’t be that important- we need to keep our injured in the middle, though. The plan is this- we’re going to wait until another team makes for the entrance, and follow them.”

It sounds safe- although you’ll need to come from behind so they don’t attack you outright.

You…

For a Shikamaru plan, that's... uncharacteristically shortsighted. If we follow another team that's making a move for the tower they'll probably have a scroll and be expecting to be attacked right at the end: just like we are. Following them from behind will probably just cause a fight to break out.

You look hard at Shikamaru. You noticed it before, but it seems more obvious now. Dark bags under his eyes, his dull, uninterested tone- he likely didn’t sleep last night, meaning he hasn’t slept at all this entire time.

“Shikamaru, you’re sleep deprived. Your plan has some holes.” you tease.

He keeps an even gaze, but doesn’t say anything.

“Not that it’s wrong, or anything.” You muse. “But we can spruce it up a little.”

“For one, we can’t be sure another team is coming. Therefore, I suggest…”

Using the Shadow Clone technique, you create two clones.

You motion to them as if giving a demonstration- though you doubt this pitch will need much *oomph*.

Using the Transformation Technique, you alter the two clones to look like somebody you know isn’t coming- two of the Ame ninja from the castle.

“We’ll use them. We have our own decoy team.” you say with a smile.

The others quickly agree, while Shikamaru just shrugs.

“There are other teams out there, Norihime. Your plan is far more risky. But, it still should work.”

It certainly is more risky, and harder for you to maintain- both shadow clones and the illusion require basically your full attention.

You send them around the tree-line, and give them about a 15 minute head start.

Then, in formation, your nine spring forth, heading towards the entrance.

As you approach, the acrid stench of blood hits your nose-

Then you see the corpses. Several shinobi corpses, seemingly stripped to the bone, their clothes ragged.

Who could’ve done this…. So close to the doors?

The three figures in the distance, standing across from your two clones, come into view.

….The children of the Kazekage? Surely they weren’t the ones who caused all this carnage, were they? Temari didn’t seem like a bad sort- though there were some unsettling rumors about her brother, Gaara…..

“It’s getting crowded, Temari.” The redhead says, eying your approaching group.

The other two, Temari and her other brother Kankuro, seem to defer to their youngest sibling.

“We have our scroll, Gaara. Why don’t we head inside? Eleven enemy shinobi are too many….” Temari says, while staring directly at Kankuro.

“Yeah, Gaara. Let’s go inside. You’ll get to fight them all anyway.” He says, looking rather disgusted.
“You aren’t wrong, Kankuro. However…..” Gaara smiles- it’s not a particularly pleasant look for him.

“I’m not done yet.”

We were in good enough condition to use two Shadow Clones earlier, so we probably started off in pretty solid shape. And the chakra from those two returns when they pop, so we'd probably still be able to get off a couple of good shots.

Lovely, he’s a murderous psychopath.

He seems perfectly willing to engage you all- while his siblings seemingly want nothing to do with it.

Obviously he was strong enough to defeat those other teams- how wary should you really be about this guy?

You need a plan, and quickly.

1. Direct your clones to lead him away- hopefully giving you enough time to get inside.

2. Appeal to him with words- or try and cut a deal.

3. Attack first- there is no reasoning with his kind.

Ok, well my thought is kill gaara right here right now. Blue shift and decapitate him. And the other two if needs be.

End him in one blow, so anti climatic it's perfect

"Throwing" he says, like they weren't already here.

...what?

>>48998491
Cut sand nobs head off. Blue shift speed right by him sword swinging and remove his head from his torso
>>
Though you have no effective way of signaling them- they do have your mind- thus viewing this as the best chance you have- and immediately take off.

Sand immediately releases from the container on Gaara’s back, and takes off after your clones- the chakra returns to you very quickly after that.

He’s… no joke.

“There’s no blood….” Gaara says impassively as the sand recollects in his gourd.

“Clones.” Temari says with a smirk on her face.

“Trying to trick me is…. Unwise.” Gaara says, his face darkening.


Seems you’ve made him angry.

What would you like to do now?

1. Try to talk Gaara down/make a deal
2. Fight!

3. Do something else! (What?)

We failed because the clones took the shape of losers. ame ninja have low energy, no class. They need to stop sending their garbage here, they're not sending their best and brightest.

You ever see their city? rusted ugly oversized gutter. Not like the Hokage monument. Beautiful and classy with a terrific view. Just Terrific.

We should have the clones take the form of winners like Sasuke ,Lee, and that pink haired boy.

I blame the schools. Minato has been screwing up since he got the job. Suna has a 12 year old with a YUUUUUUGGGE kill score while a bunch of our best genin and Sai get beat up by a fifty year old drag queen. We need to give our child soldiers the best education they can get. We've been losing since ROOT was shut down (BIG mistake). We need to start winning again people. We need a new Hokage and we need make Konoha great again.

we're both important people from our village, there's no reason for us to hae to fight and possibly kill each other, neither nation would like it and it might spark a war if the kids of a head of state were killed by another kid of a head of state (Nori for our side, their entire team for theirs)

Nah, not really.

It's a random number generator.
>>
>>48998663
Actually, it does. As any oldfag would know the dice feature uses a pseudo-RNG based on the server time. Rolls within 30 seconds of each other tend to cluster, with simultaneous rolls usually producing the same result. Meaning that unless there's some time between the rolls the results aren't truly random.

You quickly run through your options- nothing conventional is going to work here.

He’s the son of a Kage- money won’t work. Probably doesn’t really care about his village…

Well, there’ always THAT.

You gulp slightly- you’ve never really done anything like this before…

Deep breath, Tsuki….


Gaara’s are darting back and forth- his eyes are bloodshot. He’s obviously waiting for an attack- so you decide to give it to him.

You put all your energy behind a shunshin, moving directly next to him-

In that split second, you kiss him on the cheek.

A silence falls over the twelve shinobi present- nobody moves.


DC:SPECIAL SUCCESS!

After a few moments, when it’s obvious he’s stunned, you wave the rest of your party through.

Temari and Kankuro are bowled over laughing in hysterics- your team keeps an entirely straight face.

…..You back slowly inside the holding area for the tower, and shut the doors behind you.

Once inside, everyone erupts in laughter.

“PRINCESS!” Nori yells between deep guffaws, “WHAT WAS THAT?”

You blush a little.

“I did what I needed to do, ok!? I certainly didn’t see any of you coming up with anything.” you respond in protest.

There’s some more laughter, but everyone eventually calms down enough to proceed to the main entrance.

You are greeted by Genma, leaning against the metal doors leading inside.

“Greetings, genin. Seems there are three teams here- I’ll need to be seeing three scrolls of the Underworld before I’ll be letting you pass. Wouldn’t want to send you back out into the company of those sand kids, eh?” he says, before winking at you.

….How many people saw that? You feel your stomach churn.

You lead, presenting your scroll, taken from the Castle. Genma nods, and you, Nori and Hinata all step inside.

Second, Shikamaru, Ino and Choji follow shortly behind, having given Genma the scroll provided by Kabuto.

Finally, Neji, Sai and Kabuto file in- with Genma placing his hand on Neji’s shoulder when he sees the mark.

“You’ll have two days rest- I’m going to contact Kakashi. Don’t do anything strenuous. Ok?”

Neji furrows his brow, but otherwise doesn’t respond.

There are several cots spaced out between alcoves within the tower- where you’ll be staying most likely. There… aren’t any other people here. Did those sand siblings really stop everyone who came by?

A short time later, the Sand Siblings come inside, along with a shuffling Gaara. It seems that did more than just surprise him, as you intended. He just goes over to the corner with his brother and sister. Temari looks across the floor and winks at you- she’s obviously happy with how things played out.

Throughout the day, more teams coalesce into the tower- the Sound Genin, always nipping at your heels, comes within the hour; Team Guy, with Sasuke, Lee and Sakura, files in some time later. The last two teams appear later on with, Team Kurenai, with Shino, Kiba and TenTen appearing when night falls- the final team appearing right as everyone is preparing to sleep.

“Hello everyone! Fuu is here!” the girl from Takigakure announces to the assembled party of sleeping Shinobi.

She is met with some grumbles, but mostly everyone just ignores her.

Once everyone settles in, you slowly drift off to sleep, flanked on either side by Hinata and Nori.

The third round will begin soon…. Hopefully you’re prepared for what is to come.

not gonna lie, tsuki being all excited about having a new little sister would be fucking ADORABLE.

And waterfall IS a small village, they'd probably go for the chance to form strong ties with a powerful one like leaf and the norihime, especially seeing as how the kurama attack likely caused much less damage in this timeline and the yellow flash is still hokage.

We weren't suggesting that, we were saying that some norihime at some point split from the family and gave birth to fuu over in waterfall. We'd be cousins at most.

Wouldn't be Norihime.
It's be through Tsuki's mother's family.

Ain't the norihime from the land of hotsprings

We could ask Danzo to look into it, he's rather adept at fuinjutsu from what I remember in the manga.

Heck, we've got jiraiya here in town. He probably knows a thing or two about how to deal with his former fellow turned pedosnek.
