So far for techniques we have the following from irc as possibilities:

A Genjutsu Technique that scares the shit out of whoever we target causing them to flee in terror (Using Intimidation in place of Genjutsu Knowledge)

A ranged attack that is just throwing out a wave of chakra to create a long distance punch.

A melee attack that will maim the victim and cause their allies to freak out.

A dedicated defensive technique that has no element but deals no direct damage. It's primary purpose is to counter enemy ninjutsu.

A Chakra Compression UA that allows us to store double our chakra but at a cost. In order to access our chakra we must spend an action unlocking it, each point unlocked grants 2 chakra. After our turn is over if we have more chakra in our pool than our Chakra score we take damage.

Another UA idea was Reactive Armor. Anytime hostile Chakra got close to use a pinpoint explosion of chakra would head towards it.

>>16824228
Reactive Armor needs a little definition, but that could be a very useable technique. Blasts back physical assailants unless we allow them close. If that's how we wanna flavor it.

Compression is very interesting as it lets us segue into the high-chakra techniques without having a silly huge chakra stat. I would say it costs 1 Grit to activate it, but that's all the cost I'd put on it. Compression doesn't win fights, it helps though.

My personal vote goes to Compression for being very interesting in flavor and having a lot of room for growth, though RA has the same, if you flavor it right.

suggestion:

Surging Wave –
C: 1
D: N-1
R: 3
Effect: May substitute Ninjutsu with Chakra for damage at an additional -1 damage penalty.

>>16824319
if we can let's learn Reactive armor as a Signature Technique. If not let's take it as a UA later down the line. It's likely to be expensive so we should focus on something a little more reserved for genin rank.

Voting for Compression.

>>16824403
>>16824337

Alright, so here we go. Looks like Compression is the accepted UA and Sketch's suggested Jutsu are good. We'll discuss the finer points over time. For now, we need some actual roleplaying.

You have spent the past four nights on watch with your elder brother, Kumomaru, whose distant expression and lackadaisical attitude you felt didn't befit a Hyuuga like yourself. Despite that, he was only a few weeks away from testing before the Elder for the rank of White Squire, an honorable distinction to be assured. At the moment your hands are together, eyes scanning the horizon as he is apparently drifting to sleep.

The packet of soldier pills you threw away a day ago suddenly gives out a crinkle as you begin to cry out, when suddenly your brother is in motion and throws someone to the ground. It's a member of the Senjuu Clan, an ally Clan of yours, bringing a message. Kumomaru laughs and pats the messenger on the back showing him towards the camp before looking back at you with a grin, "You will need to be faster, no matter how smart you are, little brother."

>>16824529
"It would appear so."

So let's see what this guy's here for

>>16824589
Your replacements arrive and you follow your older brother towards the center of the village where a large temple has been built, the Grand Dojo. You lead the messenger through the labyrinthine hallways to the center where the Elders are having a ceremony, which you are immediately sure to not interrupt, remembering the last time, as does your forehead.

You are finally allowed to enter when the Clan Elder, the Primarch, and his Brother of the First Branch, are all seated side-by-side and listen for the Senjuu's message. "Honorable Hyuuga Elders, I come bearing word from General Tobirama Senjuu that a large movement of samurai have been detected nearing your village. As per your desires, we have not dispatched any military, but I am here to give you forewarning on the matter. They number at least a hundred or greater, your Lordships." He says, the Patriarch, your uncle, narrowing his eyes as he nods, "Thank you, messenger, your warning is well received. Tell your master that I am grateful and will remember his gesture." Excusing himself the messenger leaves as the Patriarch speaks, "Kumomaru, you wish to achieve the rank of White Squire, then today is your chance. I wish for you to take a detachment of our clanmates to these samurai and defeat them roundly. You may bring warriors of your choosing." Kumomaru bows and thanks them before excusing himself.

As the two of you leave he grins, excitement showing in his pale violet eyes, "I can't wait, a chance to prove myself." he says, shifting effortlessly into the Hyuuga Battle Stance, his chakra welling up evenly as you were all trained and his blows fast, light, and accurate. He was clearly a far sight above you, at least at your current standing.

>>16824625
"So, my most honorable Squire- Who is first on your list of recruits?"

>>16824625
"So then who will you be recruiting? I hope you're not expecting my to quietly sit idle while you're out having all the fun ."

>>16824641
"I am not a Squire yet, brother, but soon I will be. I will take our sister, Asuka, and a few of our cousins."

>>16824658
>"So then who will you be recruiting? I hope you're not expecting my to quietly sit idle while you're out having all the fun ."

He laughs and pats your shoulder, "These are serious soldiers, brother, I cannot bring out my beloved little brother in good faith to this fight. I care about you too much to risk you." He says and squeezes your shoulder, "A few years of training under your belt and I will be happy to call you my comrade in arms."

>>16824665
"Well then, let me know if there's anything I can do to help you before you set off. I'll just have to mollify myself by closing the gap while you're distracted with this mission."

>>16824665
"Very well, I'll wait for your victorious return. In the mean time, I'll brush up on my speed, eh brother."

>>16824695
>"Well then, let me know if there's anything I can do to help you before you set off. I'll just have to mollify myself by closing the gap while you're distracted with this mission."

He gives you a warm smile and rises, "That's a good man. You'll make the clan proud yet." he says and undoes his bandage on his forehead, the swastika mark burned brightly on his forehead as he walks to his small room in the complex and dresses for battle. Unlike most of your contemporary clans the Hyuuga enter battle dressed in little more than flowing robes. This allows for greater fluidity in your elegant martial art, but also allows truly amazing Hyuuga to use the snapping and motions of their robes as both a distraction and a shield. Kumomaru wears a black sash around his waist, as you do, the mark of a Novice. Assuming success, he will return with a white sash and will be permitted to cover his mark in battle as a sign of growing more close to the Main Branch.

In a few minutes he and twenty of your clansmen are all standing together and he gives you a final smile before moving with great speed away from the compound. "There you are, Shingen!" The voice of your father calls out to you as you turn to see the man waving you close to him with a smile.

After a brief bit of dialogue you manage to harass him into taking you the river-front, your favorite training spot, where the two of you spend the afternoon meditating, eyes shut, using your Byakugan and chakra sensing to jab fish as they jumped in the water, eat scale you were able to peel off a fish earned you a treat from your father.

rolled 2, 1, 3 = 6

Man fuck a fish. I'll punch a fish in the face.

>>16824740
Not only do you punch a fish in the face, but you are able to gather five scales in a single flurry of blows. Your father actually stands straight up in surprise, "Shingen....that's amazing." he says, opening his hands to show you the six he was holding. "I guess you really are the prodigy everyone says you are." he says with a proud smile as he crosses his arms, looking every inch the picture of calm pride before breaking out into a rolling rich laughter, "Bahahah!! I'm such a lucky father!" He says, teeth clenched in pride as he holds back his emotions, "Shingen, let's celebrate. For tonight we will speak as adults, and if you so desire, you may drink with me." he says and taps the gourd of sake tied onto his belt. As he does that you remember his moniker, Atsushi of the Trembling Fist.

>>16824755
"Alright father, but only a taste, I am underage you know."

rolled 8, 1, 10 = 19

>>16824755
"I would be happy to accompany you father, though I'll hold off on the spirits for now. I must have a marked improvement before Kumomaru returns. I won't have my words ring hollow."

yay your quest is running agian, I had no idea this was it at first when I was looking I was not expecting general, but quest.

>>16824767
>"Alright father, but only a taste, I am underage you know."
>"I would be happy to accompany you father, though I'll hold off on the spirits for now. I must have a marked improvement before Kumomaru returns. I won't have my words ring hollow."

He laughs again, "We'll see how the night progresses." he says and flops down onto the riverbank and drinks for himself as he sighs happily, "So, my son, what questions do you have for me? Anything at all in this war-torn world in which we live?"

>>16824767
Ninjas don't have drinking laws.

>>16824777
"Father why do we war with the samurai? Surely something must of started this conflict."

>>16824776
Yeah I need to figure out a more stable name for this stuff. Maybe I should call it Five Nations General-Warring Clans?

>>16824795
>"Father why do we war with the samurai? Surely something must of started this conflict."

"We war with the samurai over their insane grip over the world. The Lords of each Nation have come to us begging for aid and we are willing to give it to them, but the Samurai are not so eager to see their infrastructure undermined by what they see as peasants, we shinobi." He explains as he looks across the water.

>>16824777
"Tell me of our relationship with the Senju. Why are we allied and what enemies does this alliance garner?"

>>16824806
"Five Nations Gaiden: The Warring Clans Era"
Maybe?

>>16824808
>"Tell me of our relationship with the Senju. Why are we allied and what enemies does this alliance garner?"

"The Senjuu Clan is vast and powerful. They are one of the most populous in our Land and they have at their head several very powerful shinobi." He explains as he looks at you, "The enemies....well, you have met the Uchiha in battle briefly. They are fearsome foes who have a variety of insidious jutsu to lay us low. They are large and at their head are equally strong shinobi."

>>16824795
>must of
get out

>>16824825
That'll work. We'll change that next thread.

>>16824825
I like it.

"Two more questions then. I'd like to get more mission experience, who should I talk to for the more challenging missions.

More importantly... what if anything can I do to overcome the stigma of this seal?"

Lightly touch our forehead.

>>16824869
He covers your mouth and moves your hand, "We aren't to talk about that." he warns you gravely, "Even as adults." he says before letting go of you and leaning back against the tree.

>>16824910
Frown. "I don't understand it. Everyone says I am a prodigy destined to be something great... and yet this mark means otherwise."

>>16824930
"...But, this goes both ways. I won't pester you like a child. For now let's focus on the first question."

>>16824945
>>16824930

He nods and sighs, "I know. I wish I were in the Main Branch if only so that I could support your genius." he says softly as he leans back, "As for missions." He muses, "The Second Branch would be able to give you some missions."

>>16824979
"Hmm, the second house then? Very well, lets turn our thoughts to something more productive. Brother is soon to be awarded his position as a Squire what other lofty positions exist that I can set as my goal and what steps can I take now towards them?"

>>16825001
"Well. There is White Squire, White Errant, and White Knight. At the top of the ranks we can achieve is the Pale Champion, a side-branch member who is so powerful and valuable they are adopted into the main branch." he admits as he smiles. "But the path of servitude to the Main Branch is long and difficult."

>>16825045
"A long journey is fine. It makes the accomplishment more fulfilling." Smile slightly. "More importantly I need to prepare for that long journey as best I can now at the start of it. I think I'd like to share a toast father. To things to come, good or ill, we shall meet them with steady resolve."

>>16825079
He smiles to your words and pours you a small glass, "Here's to you, my son Shingen, may you reach the highest heights and become elevated beyond what your father and mother could have ever dreamed of." He says as he drinks slowly from his jug and sighs, refreshed.

The liquor burns your throat and brings water to your eyes, but you realize the bond it forges between you and your father.

(Bond: Atsushi Hyuuga and Kumomaru Hyuuga gained.)

>>16825094

Alright then let's get down to it. Time to see about getting us a mission or undergoing some intense ass training.

>>16825132
You make your way to the common area and are met by a lesser shinobi who is working as a clerk rather than as a warrior, and he assigns you a chore. "The Patriarch wants information on the Aburame Clan to the west. Though we are their allies, we've detected some of their kikkaichu around the compound, and aren't comfortable with it."

>>16825154
With your mission granted you set off alone, through allied territory, but you catch wind as you leave of the impending battle which will be happening to the south. Kumomaru will be there, and you may able to see your brother's shining moment of glory. Care to?

>>16825188
Ya know last time we were opporator and professional and everything. Let's let our curiosity get the better of us this time. What sort of time table do we have for our own mission? That still takes greater priority, but if we can manage it lets take a peek.

>>16825229
It would cut slightly into your time table, but a little cutting corners wouldn't hurt.

You head south as quickly as your feet can carry you, your shinobi movement not very practiced as you clumsily jump from tree to tree.

Eventually, however, the sounds of battle are audible to you and you hurry. Taking a perch in a tree you see your Hyuugas surrounded by knots of twitching and beaten samurai whose weapons scatter the field like grass. A group of samurai on horseback charge towards the Hyuuga, one of whom is your brother, but with a flash of his eyes and a thrust of his palm the horsemen are knocked clear off their horses, the horses themselves knocked over onto their riders as Kumomaru grins proudly, leaping like a true warrior into hand to hand, dodging clumsy and slow to your eyes attacks one after the other before striking a man in his larynx.

rolled 6 = 6

What happened to 5 nations quest?

>>16825229
Seconding this plan.

>>16825257
Finished it up! You can read about it here in the archives.

http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=Five+Nations

This is our new quest.

>>16825256
"Byaakugan!"

If we're watching this shit we're watching it like pros. But we will NOT be that stupid little shit that interferes in the battle only to have his brother die due to our own stupidity. We'll watch the battle but we'll be paying much more attention to the surrounding area. Looking out for ambushes and the like.

Do we need to roll anything to stay out of sight/ keep our chakra from being to noticeable?

>>16825326
Samurai have no chakra detection skills, and your clanmates are otherwise focused.

Your weak Byakugan perceives the battlefield well and in a surprisingly short amount of time your brother stands tall alongside the young woman from the Main Branch who he brought alongside him. They prepare to move out as a whistle of arrows comes through the air. There must be at least thirty, too many to strike down, and so your brother enters a low stance, his breathing slowing, as he reaches out with his chakra and strikes, "Two Palms, Four, Eight, Sixteen, Thirty Two, 8 Trigrams: 64 Palms!" He calls out as he blasts the arrows away with his forbidden Main Branch technique, breaking the last one in front of the third child of the Main Branch.

>>16825396
Smirk.

Maintain composure and continue to analyze the situation.

Now where'd that ambush come from and who led those archers?

rolled 88 = 88

>>16825269
Ah, cool

Also

Did something happen to Easymodo?

>>16825435
Easymodo died.
foolz is something that /a/ put together, and they were kind enough to give /tg space on their server.

>>16825417
>>16825435
Not as cool as you'd think, sadly.

As soon as he's done and the threat is dealt with the other members of the clan grab your brother's wrists and one grabs his neck. The woman from the Main Branch leans in close and asks him something that you can't hear, but the tone is dark. Your brother appears to be panicking.

>>16825484
>Not as cool as you'd think, sadly.
Aw shit, don't tell me the protag died or something :(

>>16825474
What a shame. Well, at least we have a replacement, easymodo service was irreplaceable service sometimes.

>>16825536
Oh no, I mean for our current story.

>>16825484
Tempted to say run out there but that would probably be a bad idea. A very bad one. Maybe just sit in the shadows still and get traumatized while watching the brother probably get killed.

>>16825536
Good lord dat five nations finale.

I'm sad I missed that.

>>16825484
That's no good. There's no way he can resist a Main familly member when he's got that seal. That's true for us as well.

>>16825542
The woman backs up from Kumomaru who is released as the clan members vanish and he kneels in font of her, her hands touching his forehead as she makes a hand sign and he screams out in pain and almost collapses, twitching in pain before she removes his belt and ties a new white belt around his waist. She ties the old black belt around his forehead and he clambers to his feet with difficulty. He kisses her hand and then keeps close to her side the two of their chakra signatures closing up as they stroll together back towards the compound.

>>16825542
Fuck.
That.

We make a diversion so they don't do anything drastic. Let's go to where those arrows were fired from. Get a bow and some arrows. Make an improvised smoke arrow using a smoke bomb. Fire it into their midst. See if he can't take that opportunity to escape. If he doesn't try then he's resigned to his fate and we'll respect his wishes. If he does, we'll help him from the shadows.

>Captcha: Choice) ligoop

>>16825566
Well never mind then.

Stay out of Byakugan range. Hell stay out of double that range. Resume mission.

>>16825571

Your speed is impressive as you arrive at the border of the Aburame lands, something you can immediately tell by the slightly horrific sight of thousands of chakra signatures crawling around in a single person. It's truly scary for you, and some of your clan members can't help but lose their stomachs at the sight.

Hours pass and the Aburame clan seem to be very insular, spending a lot of their time just reading or practicing their art alone. However, suddenly, they all get up and move at once, distant signatures arriving in the distance, and you detect thousands of other signatures, more insects, enemies.

>>16825559
Well now. Let's get back to our mission before anyone from the Main finds us.

They moving this way? If not we need to scout out this conflict and keep wary of insects with their chakra signature.

>>16825592
Okay here's a question. As Shimaru we were an upfront and honest dude.

Is Shingen upfront and honest, because there are two things we can do right here, at least that I can think of.

>>16825619
I think where Shimaru was upfront and honest.

Shingen is cautious and ambitious.

>>16825610
The general horde of them are moving in a blob towards the Aburame Clan's structure and yourself.

>>16825628
We are their allies so we need to be careful. Let's see if we can't move out of the path of the horde and put ourselves in a situation to observe what's coming, but if the swarm veers when we move, it's time to bug out.

With all this sneaking around we should definitely put some points into infiltration or stealth or something. But for now we've got no back up and we're on a scouting mission so let's play it safe as we can.

>>16825668
The two Clans meet in a brief clash of arms and a huge explosion of insects which claim victory over a shinobi when they engulf his body and leave a dessicated husk, dried of chakra and moisture. Eventually the Aburame Clan and their foes part and seem to make conversation, however, your Byakugan detects a straggler trying to stage a sneak attack, coming up close to you. The low steady hum of at least fifty bees sounds in your ears as the man pauses, "Hmm? There's prey here?" he asks and looks around, his bees flying all around the area, trying to find you.

>>16825731
So I don't think we can evade this guy. We should either A) Punch him in the fucking throat from a distance or B) Make him shit his pants in terror.

>>16825781
I'm gonna go with knock this bitch out if we can, failing that hit him with the genjutsu.

rolled 1, 1, 3 = 5

>>16825781
>>16825791

Fuck it then let's knock this bitch out.

>>16825731
Time to take this dude down. We got anything on us that can make a small fire? I was thinking we put the bees to sleep using smoke, then hop down and knock this dude the hell out.

>>16825803
>>16825830

Agreed.

rolled 5, 1, 3 = 9

>>16825830
Not sure if we have the time for that those bees will find us pretty quick. We may have a smoke bomb/pellet but either way we're definitely giving our position away to the Aburame's.

I always wanted to punch Pain in the dick.

>>16827738
If it's any consolation, the pain analogue from the last quest got fucked up- and I'd say we're about to wreck this guy a new bug-hole.

>>16825731
Actually- We know that the Kikaichu are attracted to chakra and we leave a faint trail from the chakra we're using to stick on the tree. Why don't we use this to our advantage, leading the Aburame away from the swarm and ambushing him in a more discreet location?

>>16828762
But this guy is actively searching for us now, and the Aburame Clan's attention seem to be on the other clan of bug users.

The problem is this guy's bees; 50 seems a little much for us to handle.

>>16828823
If they're still in a big swarm we might be able to nail them all at once with a wide area Far Fist attack.

>>16825868
>>16828823
>>16828840

You well up your chakra, making all the bees hurry towards your presence, just what you were hoping for. With a thrust of your fist, an imitation of the Air Palm technique, you fire a blast of chakra through the bees, killing them and striking their owner in the face, knocking him backwards into a tree where he swoons, stunned and in pain.

>>16828924
FINISH HIM

And by that I mean knock him out completely.

Unless anyone has any ideas for interrogating this guy.

>>16829040
We could lug his unconscious form over to the compound, and mention that we found him sneaking around near one of our battlefields, and thought that as bug users they might want a crack at him and his hornets.

>>16828924

Let him stand, its only honorable and you're not even sure if this has to do with your mission at all. Plus if he does have to be beat down this would be a more epic face off.

>>16829148
Yeah but we don't care about honor all that much. I got that we were being a combat pragmatist.

>>16829133
>>16829040
I agree with these suggestions. Make sure he's knocked out, then hand him over to the Aburame.

>>16829148
What does honor matter at this point? His dead bugs were his primary weapon and we're at full power. He'll probably just escape from us if we don't take him in now.

I say we knock him out and present him to the clan.

rolled 23 = 23

You guys should archive this.

>>16830047
Working on it soon.

>>16829420
You check him out and truss him up with some cloth you have in your pockets. When the Aburame return they are surprised to find you but are pleased at your discovery. One of the men of the clan invites you to dinner with them as a sign of appreciation.

>shingen hyuuga
>Kekkei genkai
>Shitty weeaboo naruto garbage

Fucking amazing. I really didn't think /tg/ had gotten to the point where even the quest threads were utter shit.

>>16830219
I believe NOW would be an appropriate time to bow out. We came here to investigate why the Aburame were on our land, nothing more. Let's not throw ourselves into the belly of the beast here.

>>16830413
Or we could chat with them, avoid any mention of seeing their bugs on our land.

Imply we saw some hornets though. Ask who these jokers are.

>>16830379
Remember that five nations or some shit? That was naruto fanwank.

All of it.

That's when I realized /tg/ had truly fallen to worst shit tier board.

>>16830219
Politely take a raincheck, saying that we have to finish our patrol first.
Say that we saw the big chakra mass, followed, found this guy, and what's up with the bees.

>>16830379

We hadn't gotten to that point until you shitposted. If you don't like it, please open another thread to express your butthurt.

>>16830527
We're a little too far away from home for that to fly. We're deep in foreign territory. We should just flat out mention that we wanted to consult our allies on some suspicious bugs around our territories that held ninja charka signatures. They're the experts play it off like we're asking for some consultation.

>>16830558
It's true. Play it up like we think it's the bee guys.

>>16830558
You're right, I hadn't considered just how far into Abarame lands we are right now.

Your idea sounds like it'll have a better chance of working.

>>16830558
We should also keep an eye on our surroundings, we just saw a shinobi get turned into a pile of skin and bones. Let's see if we can't find out what's really going on here- from what we've seen, the Aburame are having internal disputes... But I don't quite buy that.

>>16830890
I vaguely remember some clan of hornet dudes that the Aburame were cheesed off at for some reason.

Is that a thing?

We should discreetly check ourselves now, and after we finish talking to these guys. Never know when you could have a "bug" on you.

Oh shit, I just remembered we came here with other members of our clan. Fuck, we could've had them shadow us in case things got out of hand. No matter now, we should send at least two of them back to report on what just took place.

>>16832395
I thought we were alone on this scouting mission, and the mention of other clan members not being able to stomach the sight of Aburame clan members through the Byakugan was meant to show how most other Hyuuga's reacted.

>>16832499
Yeah this is a solo mission otherwise we wouldn't have been able to have taken that detour.

>>16830558
As far as actions go let's play it cool, and see if we can't find out who these bee users are.

>>16830903
There was some filler related to that I think.

I almost forgot to ask, what do we know about the Aburame? I mean- what does our family know? Surely during our childhood we were educated on our allies and enemies, what were we able to learn about past dealings with the Aburame clan?

I wonder what kumomaru's up to, I hope he didn't get in too much trouble from that stunt he pulled. I think we should brace ourselves for the eventuall fallout effecting us. Call me crazy but the main house might start cracking down harder because of our brother's actions.

>>16835411
Yeah, that sounds pretty likely.

>>16830903
Yeah, I remember that they're from another Village, and that they clashed frequently with the Aburame during the World Wars.
Something about them being able to use bees and hornets.

rolled 2, 6, 8 = 16

>>16836749
>>16831340

You politely refuse their offer and instead mention seeing some chakra-rich insects near the compound. The man who invited you flatly states that it was one of their kikkaichu, sent there to monitor you. He apologizes and you learn your first virtue of the Aburame clan, they're extremely blunt in conversation, but don't speak often.

As you head home, walking slowly and thinking about what you had come to see, you sense a chakra signature far away, moving towards you rapidly. Activating your Byakugan in response you suddenly feel your battle senses screaming out as the signature is atop you all of the sudden, a flash of black hair and red eyes appear in front of you, two kunai plunging at your face.

>>16838268
GAH! What the Hell, a sneak attack by an Uchiha?

Can we evade?

>>16838312
Of course. Rank+Gentle Fist gives you a counter attempt.

>>16838366
I believe we actually applied our Prodigal bonus to our Gentle Fist style. So we're at 2, unless I'm mistaken.

rolled 1, 9, 8, 8 = 26

>>16838381
In that case, re-roll.

>>16838381
I saw 2 people in the archived thread say to put our Prodigy bonus towards Intimidation, though.

>>16838428
If that's the case, then I'll accept.

>>16838366
That roll.

The attacker is as fast as can be, but you shift your elbows and arms, deflecting the attack as you hop backwards, sliding into your Gentle Fist stance and get a good view of your attacker. Your assailant is wearing a cloth shroud over their face, Sharingan Eyes glaring at you as they readjust the kunai in their hands, readying for the next attack.

(You have priority.)

rolled 4, 10, 7 = 21

>>16838443
Can we prepare a far-fist attack? If not I'll settle for lashing out to disarm him.

rolled 8, 2, 3 = 13

>>16838476
Moving away with Shinobi Movement.

rolled 4, 10, 8, 10 = 32

>>16838484
You fire a compressed blast of your own chakra which your attacker evades easily, getting very far away. Their hands flash together as they lean back and unleash a blast of fire towards you.

rolled 9, 8, 9 = 26

>>16838443
Attack. Let's see if a few palm strikes to his solar plexus and face will slow him down.

Rank 2 + Gentle Fist 1

>>16838501
Bah, better that I was too late for that.

>>16838500
Let's use that defensive technique we have. We need to work out its stats anyway.

rolled 2, 10, 6 = 18

>>16838500
Shit, dodge to the side. Use the fireball to obscure vision of yourself.

>>16838521
>>16838529
Both of you fuck this up embarrassingly.

The fireball fizzles out halfway to you, thankfully obscuring how you were too stunned to really get away. Your attacker glares at you again and puts one of their kunai away and readies the other for hand-to-hand.

rolled 1, 2, 8 = 11

>>16838544
Well, that went swimmingly.

Time to go on the offensive. Attack his hands, disable his ability to use weapons and jutsu.

rolled 3, 2, 2, 3 = 10

>>16838544
I say use chakra compression to get a bit more chakra and then hit that fucker with our stare of pants shitting terror.

Roll is for Intimidate + Rank

rolled 8, 9, 3 = 20

>>16838642
Let's counter!

>>16838664
>>16838642
There we go!

You slide forward and the Uchiha swings at you defensively, but your fingers dart in between his movements, his eyes tracking your attack perfectly as they strike his hands in two places, his hands going limp, dropping his weapons and trembling as he steps back gasping.

(Damage done equals. T+Gentle Fist+1=6. Opponent goes to injured and loses 2 chakra, 1 from the hit, and 1 from crossing an injury threshold.)

>>16838685
It's now his turn, correct?

>>16838713
The Uchiha closes their eyes briefly, when they open up their eyes agian their Sharingan spins rapidly, and you feel something tugging on your mind.

(Rank targeting 1/2 your Genjutsu score since you aren't trained in Genjutsu Knowledge)

>>16838723
Sorry. Dice pool is halved. You get 1 die. If you get a 1, you succeed.

rolled 2, 3 = 5

>>16838723
Well shit.

rolled 10 = 10

>>16838743

So wait not only do we have to roll half our rank but we can only succeed on a 1?

>>16838756
Well it was fun while it lasted.

>>16838756
No no. Just the second one. You have your full target number, but 1/2 the pool. I misread the rule.
And wow, a 10.

You put your fingers together and call out, "Genjutsu Release!" You try to stop and start your chakra system, you heard your brother talking about it and you feel the oppressive chakra breaking from you.

The illusion of that is shattered as a thunderous pain soars through your mind as you are hit with a backflipping kick which sends you crashing to the ground.

(We take 6 damage and go to injured.)

As you shake your head, the pain ripping the genjutsu apart you see the Uchiha has taken their mask off and is revealed to be a girl your own age. She gives you a cheeky smile and waves before vanishing in a flicker of motion. As you recover yourself you see that she cut with her kunai something into your arm, "I am Inari Uchiha, remember my name."

>>16838781
We can't let anything impede us, return to the clan complex immediately.

>>16838781
>I am Inari Uchiha, remember my name
Well, at least we aren't dead.
And I think this will be a good time to develop a Rival perk.

>>16838781
Bandage wound, return to compound.

>Our pride will never heal.

>>16838804
You return to the sounds of great celebration as your brother is heralded as a hero who saved the Main Branch's daughter from certain death. He currently sits by the side of the Patriarch for the evening and food and drink is passing around freely. You report to the Second Branch member who passes a fleeting congratulations, the night's focus on your brother's promotion, one of the four White Squires in the entire Clan.

>>16838846
If it's needed, get our arm treated.

Then attend the celebration and congratulate him on his achievement.

>>16838846
I'm not sure if we should bring up what we saw with him. If we do, don't do it here. But yes, congratulate him on his promotion.

>>16838985
Yeah we should see up close if everything is as cheery as it seems. I'd bet the member of the main house was willing to overlook his trespasses so long as he proclaimed loyalty to her directly. It would be best if we kept the information to ourselves, if we tell him she can force him to tell her what he knows with the seal.

Oh and as soon as the festivities are done, it's time for some anti-genjutsu training.

>>16839102
Keep it to ourselves, and if we need to use it we will. I don't think we will though, but just file it away for later use. Anyway, quietly watch everyone after we get fixed up and eat something.

>>16839258
Agreed on all points.

And make sure to get those cuts bandaged. No need to show off that we were utterly humiliated by an Uchiha girl.

>>16841624
Also worth noting that we weren't supposed to be there in the first place, so bringing that up might get us in a little bit of trouble. I doubt it will be much but its still something.

>>16842435
That's why we keep it under our hat unless we need to blackmail someone. And, in that regard, get bro and that main-house girl together. Because if he marries into the main house, I think that means we do too.

>>16842952
>I think that means we do too.
No, it would just be him.
He would leave our Branch House and enter the Main House.
We still need to prove ourselves good enough to get into the Main House on our own.
And one up that Uchiha girl.

>>16843141
To do list:
Learn to counter Genjutsu
Show up Inari Uchiha
Rank up to main house
Show up Inari Uchiha.
Continue Being Awesome.
Destroy Inari Uchiha.

>>16843141
Well if he marries into the Main House with our help, he will likely view us favorably.

So, sketch, anymore Shingen art on the way?
Will we get to see our bitter rival (even if she doesn't know it) Inari Uchiha?

And did you ever finish those Raikage fight panels?

>>16842952
>>16843141
We should work on making White Champion by then. A wedding into the Main Branch and a promotion into it for us? At the same time?

Auspicious.

>>16845411
1) Yes. The op image was actually just the first thing I threw out, I was intending to poll the IRC and thread for what Shingen should look like. So I definitely plan on doing more.

2) If the opportunity presents itself and she becomes a reoccurring character sure.

3) Got sidetracked pretty hard so I'm still working on it. But here's a preview.

>>16845861
Alright, thanks Sketch. I look forward to seeing the other panels.
