>teach you some pretty impressive Hyuuga technique that I developed myself, but if you're in such a rush
"Hahaha..okay, Father, you know me too well."

New techniques are always good, and we'll probably need them if we're going to be soloing all of our upcoming fights.

>>16969107

He smiles at you and stands up. Breathing deeply for a few seconds he suddenly thrusts his arms forward, wrists touching one another as you see two muscle arms of chakra reaching out from his ribs and smashing into the waterfall. "This is the Gentle Steel Fist." He says proudly and you can see the sweat beads on his forehead. "With the power of hard Taijutsu and the chakra destruction of our style, I have only begun to work on it, but it is the perfect martial art."

>>16969080
"Alright alright, let's see what you've got up your sleeve. You've gotten pretty good at teasing me these last few years."

>>16969135
"So pretty much, total obliteration of body and chakra?"

rolled 6, 1, 3, 6, 2, 7, 3, 1 = 29

>>16969135
"So... like this?"

Attempt to mimic it. Rollin gentle fist + rank.

>>16969150
He smiles proudly, "In a single blow...yes." He says and chuckles, "However, it has a tendency to exhaust an old man like me. You, however, could probably do it very well."

>>16969158
You feel your chakra system expanding to allow for what you're asking of it. But when you do it, a cry of determination at your lips, four arms reach out and blast the water straight apart, knocking it all the way to the land, a good fifteen meters away in a single blow. You already have doubled your father's progress, but your chakra has dropped hugely. (Back to 1)

>>16969166
So our chakra dropped from 8 to 1?
What about our compressed chakra reserves?

"I still...need...more practice."

>>16969166
"Yeesh, that's a killer. I see I'm going to have to work on this one. Thanks for the lesson as always father."

Bow slightly. We may benefit from training for this with our chakra dampening bandages on.

>>16969166

"It's like a wave of total destruction. Maybe if we compress the chakra? Harden it, instead of just letting it explode? It'd work better in close-combat." May as well throw around theories in order too have some progress on this technique.

>>16969183
>>16969184
>>16969199

Actually it ate 15 chakra. It forced our compressed to expand and drained it all out.

"Perhaps indeed." He said with a rub of his jaw before smiling and laughing, "Well, if anyone can figure it out, it's you my boy." He said and patted your back again, "Have fun with that one, and try not to die."

wait, we're still a genin? I thought we were promoted to chunin after the timeskip.

>>16969209
15 chakra?

Yeah, we definitely need to figure out how to control this technique better.

"I'll get better with it, Father."

>>16969230
Yeah. Though we should read the contents of the scroll and prepare for our mission now. We can train while we're on the road.

So we have this technique, Inari's senbon technique, and human psychology to work on while on the road.
Anything else to work on?

>>16969264
Our stat's and skills and we may want to start picking up some more perks.

>>16969264
our medical ninjutsu. If we're going to be alone, best if we work on our medical abilities.

Could we create synergy between our medical ninjutsu and chakra control for the senbon technique as well as bonuses in combat to sealing or attacking an opponent's chakra gates or vital organs?

>>16969317
Interesting idea. There's no mechanic for it, but we'll see what we can do.

>>16969343
Combined with our Byakugan, it seems plausible. Especially with the use of chakra scalpels.

Anyway, moving on!

You read over the dossier and the exact mission's orders are to "free the Land of Fire from the grip of those who oppress it." it's clearly written by some diplomat or nobleman or something, some fool in a silly hat who doesn't understand how the world works.

Regardless, you are eager to do it and your father signs you off and bids you farewell. You pack adequately and set foot away from the campus, where do you want to go?

>>16969381
I suppose the first thing we should do is head for areas known for bandit activity.
Bandits should be easier to take out than the organized samurai.

>>16969399

There are a few cells of known bandits that haven't been cleared out by shinobi cells. One such area is fairly close by and should be fairly simple to at least break apart.

You make your way to the cave and find, however, that someone beat you to your collar. Five bandits are all pinned to the stone wall with a long spear, a single gigantic spear. This is quite a grizzly sight.

>>16969399
Agreed we should also try and gather information from friendly sources such as the senju as we go. Tea houses are likely to have a knowledgeable patron or two for when we need local information. We shouldn't just aimlessly go about waiting to be attacked. We need to locate strong holds and clear them out.

>>16969423
Any chakra residue on the spear, or indications that it belongs to a shinobi clan?
Also investigate the cave and see if there are indications of who did this.

If nothing else is found, we need to gather information at the national level on bandit activity, then got to the local level to find bandit strongholds and such.

>>16969423
See if the spears owner is still around. If not see if we can't locate any information that may prove useful to us (such as the name of some of the bandit's contacts or information that could lead to an undiscovered hideout).

>>16969437
>>16969438

The spears are cold, both literally and figuratively. The cave itself is empty save for the clothing that litters the floor. Whoever committed these crimes is long since gone and was very effective in their work. However, you do notice one thing of interest. The spear's wood is yew, a wood that doesn't grow in the Land of Fire. You'd place it more from the Land of Water or Lightning.

>>16969470
For now we'll leave the grizzly scene and inform someone at the next village we pass of what's happened. Then we make our way towards our next target keeping in mind that there's a spear wielding bandit killer about.

>>16969470
Odd. What would shinobi from those lands be doing here?
And what purpose would killing bandits have to them?

Perhaps we should take the spear to the Senjuu to see if they can place its origins. They have a lot of dealings at the international level.

>>16969496
>>16969494

We will deal with this tomorrow. OP to sleep.

I'm gonna suggest that we leave too - scan for any Chakra signature, or residue or any lack of chakra trail.

Then lets dim our chakra and quickly heat to the next location we should go so we can free the Land of Fire from the grip of those who oppress it. Note: We should use this blanket order to kill any clan that might become a problem. Maybe even find a way to use this order to get our family into the Main clan.

An idea came to me: if we can't find a psychiatrist to provide Inari with therapy, perhaps the Yamanaka's can help.
We know that they're allied with the Senjuu, and that they have highly-developed mind genjutsu's from that battle we were at a few years back.

Also, if Inari Uchiha really does have a hero worship complex in addition to her yandere feelings for Shingen, having him try to give her therapy might only make things worse.

>>16975258
Well, what if the Therapy was a Lobotomy?

>>16969470
>>16969423
Would you describe the dead men as run of the mill highwaymen or are they actual shinobi? The bingo book does not exist as of yet and neither does the proper designation of a rouge shinobi as missing nin. We should be able to make an educated guess on how powerful or skilled the killer(s) are based on the victims: It's relatively easy to line up five mooks and kill them with one spear, the same cannot be said for five trained shinobi unless they were caught completely off guard.

>>16976043
True. Actually, if we can't find an obvious trail, go to the closest village. After all, they might not have been a cruel group of bandits - might be doing the whole 'Robin Hood' thing.

So, any thoughts on getting professional Yamanaka psych help for Inari?

>>16979145
We'd need to butter up the Yamanakas before they do anything like that, and this is all presuming they don't arrest her or kill her outright for being an Uchiha.

>>16979174
>We'd need to butter up the Yamanakas before they do anything like that
Well, looks like we've got another side-project, then.

How does our status given by the patriarch affect our current mission? Are we allowed to bring in other branch members if we see fit?

Why don't we put our chakra blackout ability to good use? We could use a clone as an active chakra signature, and trail behind it with our chakra blacked out, so that we can better see if anyone is following us.

>>16979145
>>16973113
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

>>16969317
>>16969264

If we seal senbon into a piec of cloth (the bandages around our wrists for example) and practice our aim & throw until we drop down unconsious we might be able to create a new mid-range, surprise-oriented style that makes use of our superiour experience as a Hyuuga and gentle fist user.

Think of it as supernatural Blowdarts.
Only that we're using chakra instead of poison, and needles fetched from hyperspace instead of arrows.

>>16981044
But she IS broke, that's the point.

>>16981901
Broke in a good way.

>>16969080

I'm LOST

>>16982858
No. She's really not. How is this a "good way"

>>16982878
Many /a/nons dig obsessive, violent chicks.

>>16980019
More people means more people to rescue if shit gets out of hand.
Is that really worth it?
I'd honestly prefer a multi-clan team.

>>16982858
You might like Inari as a yandere girlfriend, but I prefer tsundere Inari.

>>16982938
Oh see I prefer my girls less violently insane.

>>16982938
Maybe, but this is a perfect opportunity to give the Branch family a better reputation. It's one of our long term goals to elevate the Branch to a higher social standing, I just figured giving the rest of our clan-mates a chance to better themselves and prove their worth would be something we can do in the here and now.

>>16983090
A good point, but this was specifically a solo mission. I think it's to take a measure of our ability as a Branch Captain.

Which reminds me; because of those duties and responsibilities, we'll need to periodically visit home to get updates.

>>16969743
>>16972162

To your observation the people speared were shinobi. Their chakra systems show signs of use and they carry shinobi gear. However, they are bereft of village markings, or anything descriptive really.

>>16983107
This man is correct. It was a solo mission specifically. You aren't to call for help at all. And you aren't to return home until you feel that you've done enough for the Clan and the Land.

>>16983699
>they were shinobi
Well now, this makes things much more interesting.
I still think we should take the spear to the Senjuu to see if they can identify its origins, as well as to find out about other bandit groups in the area that might have suddenly stopped all activity, indicating that they were wiped out like this group.

>>16983722
You tug and wrench the spear with all your might but find that it's dug quite deeply into the stone wall. Your meager strength isn't enough to pull it out of the wall. Whoever embedded this spear was a monster.

>>16983732
No way to suck the spear and bandits into a scroll, then?
And no evidence of kekkei genkai's in the dead shinobi?

>>16983759
You really aren't trained in the use of sealing tech or scrolls, you don't even have one on you or know where you could acquire one.

No kekkei genkai evidence in the shinobi, thankfully. They appear to just be four regular men and a woman. Measuring the spear it's roughly twelve or thirteen feet long in just the shaft, the head is buried into the cave, but you would guess it's also quite large.

The only way to get it out of the wall would be to collapse the surrounding stone around the spear and cause its mooring to come loose.

>>16983770
Well, we need to practice the Gentle Steel Fist anyway.

Let's try to break the stone around the spearhead. But do it from the mouth of the cave; no need to accidentally trap ourselves when we don't have to.

rolled 6, 4, 6, 1, 2, 5, 3, 2 = 29

>>16983813
Would this be a Rank 3 + Gentle Fist 5 test?

>>16983813
Well that sounds a little risky to be doing out in the open when we haven't trained in it mu-
>>16983865
Alright then.

captcha: Hal urposin

Hey man we ain't no poser.

>>16983865
>>16983813
>>16983939

You breathe in deeply and thrust your arms forward, ten huge arms exploding from your sides as you turn the entire cave into gravel, collapsing it entirely almost, the entire structure of it blown to little more than dust. The spear is quite loose now and the bodies with it. However, you have blown yourself through your chakra again and the breathe leaves your body as you get weak legged and collapse onto the ground, face first, panting hard, trying to keep conscious.

rolled 2, 9, 5 = 16

>>16984634
Let's try and get us some chakra back.

>>16984658
You breathe slowly and focus in, your chakra restores refreshing as you gather your chakra and climb back to your feet. Your chakra compression allows you to store more and your body begins recuperating as you are face with the massive pole-like spear. The head of the spear is as broad as your torso and at least three feet long.

>>16984658
Yeah, just spend some time meditating to regain our chakra, and retrieve the spear - and the bodies. Also, lets go down to the nearest village to ask about said 'bandits'

>>16984686
And be prepared for bandits/ninja/samurai to come looking after the earth shattering kaboom.

>>16984686
>>16984701

You clean the bodies off the spear and are now forced to reconcile how you are going to transport this titanic spear. It weighs easily three or four times your body weight, and you aren't going to be lifting it with any ease.

Your Byakugan flicks on and you scan the area. Your range has grown, about to 100m at this point, and you can see no imminent threats.

>>16984825
Ok, leave it hear witht he bodies - find some way to hide it. To the nearest village!

And does that mission have other suggested locations we should go to "free the Land of Fire from the grip of those who oppress it."

>>16984862
The nearby village is a small agricultural town and when you approach them they thank you profusely for dealing with those shinobi bullies. They say they haven't been here to bother them for a few days, and they're extremely grateful.

Stash the spear, search for any more bandit camps we can easily take on. if we have some way of contacting home, alert them to the spear.

Are carrier pigeons used at all? could we rent one at a town or city?

>>16984906
Thank them for their praise and tell them that they should thank the Eight Branch of the Hyuuga Clan.

Also ask if they saw anyone with a huge spear nearby. If not, continue to the next hotspot and pay attention to any chakra signatures or any absences of charka. Also, move out with Chakra Blackout on. ALWAYS HAVE CHAKRA BLACKOUT ON.

>>16984906
And ask them casually if some strong or scary person (people) passed

>>16984944
and check every few hours for genjutsu just in case

>>16985143
I think you wanted to say "Every twenty feet". Maybe there is a genjutsu trap there on them roads

>>16985187
>>16985143
since OP probably is going to nix this, what if we set up some sort of trigger that will go off if we get genjutsu'd. Like, say, a top that'll start spinning?

>>16985237

>>16985237
Actually, I believe that were jokes. But really, after this mission we need to do something with our genjutsuphobia

>>16985276
professional help or actually learning how to detect and break the damn things?

>>16985323
I believe professional help would make a nice (but completely useless and long) hook plot, but I believe that OP doesn't like "Herp Derp And we learned very hard technique this instance." While I believe that making Inari our waifu will be much more fun.

>>16985356
...So the hot chick from Earth ( i think) that was totally in to us will be dead, along with every women in the clan who so much as glances at us?

>>16985323
Well, what if the 'Professional Help' was a Lobotomy?

>>16985356
I really don't think Inari Waifu End is a good idea. We'll likely find our throat slit at some point for some minor slight.

>>16985377
I don't doubt that. Including Irari.

>>16985385
good. keeps us on our toes and able to react instantly in case of ANY surprise attack. we might also have ourselves a good bodygaurd that we can also get some tail from.

All for the low, low price of not having a good night's sleep for the rest of our lives.

I think it's a fair trade

>>16985399
You're neglecting the fact that she'll also kill every woman who looks at us.

And may well keep us chained up in a basement. That's a Bad End guy.

>>16985124
They do mention someone. A huge man with a shock of red hair, not common in the area, passed by two days ago. The most notable feature of him was his quiet and grim demeanor and his massive ox-like musculature. They indicate that he was heading towards the southern coast of the Land of Fire. He was unarmed.

You proceed and come across a group of shinobi which you scan and recognize as Uchiha on patrol. There appear to be about three of them, an adult woman and three boys, maybe her children or her cousins.

>>16985377
>>16985385
She is either tsundere (which usually means happy end), either yandere (which means we are deep in shit). Actually, i kind of understand why she hates us so much. We just played a white knight for some time, and then left, without saying another word. A fair maiden would be offended. But I would suggest to get along with her, because we will get a cute (and overpowered Uchiha) waifu, and some credit for taming a while beast. Also we can always go blasting our chakra right and left, raping everything that moves before we die.

>>16985418
hide, observe, see but don't be seen.

>>16985426
*wild beast

>>16985418
Could we play it off as they were "oppressing the Land of Fire?"

If not, we're not actively at war with them, so just keep our distance and head after the big guy - is he heading towards our next objective or not?

would it be possible to leave a note for inari, asking to meet up for a bit and just talk things out? maybe at a nice restraunt in neutral territory?

>>16985426
Hey, we were thinking of hanging with our dad rather then 'crazy girl who stabbed us one and we kind saved'.

am I the only person who looks at OP's pic, and thinks of the Large Hadron Collider?

>>16985451
Only as much as it looks like anything with an octagon with a circle in the middle.

>>16985451
oh thank science it's not just me.

>>16985445
You'd have to think of where you want to leave it.

>>16985429
>>16985438
You absolutely could. The Hyuuga Clan isn't fond of Uchiha, nor are the Senjuu. If you were willing to lie enough you could easily kill them and then report they were terrorizing a village or something.

>>16985457
I'm gonna say take the moralfag route and just hide and let them be, practice our stealth skills.

Alternatively, ask if they know of a girl who <insert Inari's description here> and then pass a note to be delivered by a guy you met on the road. the note would obviously be a request for a meeting in neutral ground alone.

We clearly have the Byuakugan. It's apparent even when we're not using it.

>>16985457
Lets not kill them, yet. First, that would be counted as not quite mature (revenge because we got tortured, yeah, really) and Uchihas are vengeful, and will probably point out who did that (by the same method of villagers.)

>>16985470
>>16985457

I'm guessing you mean "use these people to get a request for a meeting to her"?

>>16985426
seeing how our houses hate each other, lets not go the whole "Romeo and Juliet" route

....Two clans, both alike in dignity, in the fair fire country where we lay our scene

>>16985457
I think we should.

But we could be watched by our creepy stalker. Who's for it?

>>16985510
I say Nay.

I also say Nay to meeting with Inari. I get the feeling we'll be drugged again.

>>16985509
Do you bite your thumb at me, sir?

>>16985510
well, once she realizes we were trying to get a message to her....she'll probably let it go? maybe? hopefully? include that as a clause for our meeting?

>>16985520
I do bite my thumb, sir.

>>16985517
>implying that's not the appeal

>>16985509
I'm only for it. We never let OP to show us more of his writing skills in tragedy, drama or romance (But still OP, your writing is one of true ninja.). We don't quite hate Uchihas, we just stronglu don't like them

I'm for using these schmucks to pass on a message. do we know any good restraunts in neutral territory?

>>16985517
Maybe that's how she tries to express her tsun-tsun side towards us. Would she hate us, we would already be tortured to death.
>Its complicated
Absolutely right, captcha

>>16985541
They're going to know we're Hyuuga as soon as we talk to them. Byakugan is blatantly obvious.

>>16985536
>>16985535
>>16985521
>>16985517
>>16985510

Easiest way to decide.
Respond to this post with either Yes or No.

Yes means you want to converse with them and try to draw out Inari.

No means you want to kill them and engage in battle.

Also, thanks for the compliment.

>>16985555
yes

>>16985552
And? We are trying to find Inari, while trying to be unrecognizable is good, if she will hear that "That Hyuuga looser" is looking for her, she will surely come.

>>16985555
Yes. If that's that simple.

Well, as none seem for a duel, then aye. I pray we speak with them, and hold our barbs tightly in our hand, for tis easier to drive them deep when they are both consealed and constricted.

>>16985528
If you do, sir, I am for you: I serve as good a man as you.

yes

>>16985589
No better?

Yes

>>16985597
>>16985595
>>16985581
>>16985567
That's enough for me.

You come out and the mother draws two kunai in her hands and glares at you, "What do you want?" She asks hesitantly, her Sharingan eyes flashing as she readies for battle, standing in front of you, her kids behind her.

When you state your intentions and describe Inari she laughs, "That girl? She's been a rouge shinobi for three years. After killing Lord Madara's father she tore out of the Clan and has been on the run ever since. I couldn't tell you. What business do you have with her?"

>>16985617
"Someone had a message for her is all. Wanted to arrange a meeting. real shady guy too."

So she's rogue and blamed for the death of the guy we killed. So does she blame us for being kicked out or what?

I suppose this also means we can pursue her into Uchiha territory without them getting too pissed at us.

>>16985595
Say 'better:' here comes one of my master's kinsmen.

>>16985635
Yes, better, sir.

>>16985626
I think she has a love/hate thing for us, and is slightly unstable.

so My money's on yandere

>>16985617
"Excuse me, but there is a message for her. Maybe you heard something of her and where she is?

>>16985654
"If I had, I would be alerting Lord Madara and he would be upon her in a second for vengeance. Believe me, she is not a cousin of ours." She said spitefully before leaving in a flash with her children.

As she departs you feel the sensation of eyes on you, but despite your best efforts to scan the area, you can't sense her, you can't sense anyone or anything.

>>16985643
I think it could be yandere, but I pray for overly aggressive tsundere

>>16985661
well, she knows we want to meet her.

Head into the woods with a nice lunch in a scenic clearing. bring enough for two

>>16985670

>Find a nice clearing

>>16985665
I'm nearly one hundred percent positive she's yandere. That's why I've been saying we should probably not date her.

>>16985661
Say out loud. "I have not forgotten you, Inari, and won't lose you again." Playing a charmed buffon instead of prodigy can seriously mess up with our enemies.

>>16985677
We are kind of chakra-blasting maniacs, who can mutilate corpses near a nearly rape victims and also hurl giant people into crowds. I don't know if we are perfectly sane either.

>>16985673

You walk into the forest for a while and find a nice open space, about thirty by thirty meters where you stand out alone.

>>16985680
>"I have not forgotten you, Inari, and won't lose you again."

Your voice echoes for a while before a needle flies out from up and in front of you and lands in front of you. A note is tied to the end of it. It reads:

"Meet me at the Manji Valley near the Land of Rice Fields. Come alone, and wear your best, sweetie." You know that writing too well. But as you read the note you hear it suddenly start to fizz and you see that on the backside it's an explosive tag. You hurl it away from you just as it goes off and sprays hot smoke over you, thankfully you are unharmed.

The Manji Valley is to the farthest north border of the Land of Fire, near the Land of Rice Patties. It's a massive waterfall with a huge water basin beneath it.

You realize that since you have been living among the Clan the only money you have is about 25 ryo from various and sundry sources. That's barely enough to buy the nice lunch you are going to purchase for her. So, you'll have to make do with what you have.

You return home, after trouncing a few more bandits and looting them for their valuables. You scavenge through your wears before your Father appears behind you with a very expensive looking dress outfit, "This is what I wore when I used to look nice. I had a feeling this is what you're wanting?" He asked and smiled, the clean white outfit with blue lining playing well with your violet eyes and dark hair. It seems to be just about your size too.

After dressing up and heading towards the Valley you stop just short of there to find a restaurant, bought some food to go, and then arrive at your destination.

The waterfall is nestled between two massive slabs of stone on either side, the basin beneath it very calm and very deep it seems. As you near you see a large floating wooden raft with a cloth laid out across it. This appears to be where Inari wanted to meet you.

>>16985752
welp, best get ready for her. call her out for a nice picnic

>>16985752
I'm here as promised sweetie. now lets come out and talk like the civilized folk we are

this is a ambush....calling it now

>>16985796
she wouldn't KILL us. just "Play" with us a bit.

>>16985752
"You really want to lead me all the way? Chuckle. I thought you would at least give me some freedom. But, as you say." Board the raft

>>16985826

I hope you like "name of food we bought". not the best, but what I could afford

>>16985833
>>16985826
>>16985793

You walk across the water onto the raft where you sit down. As you do so you hear a loud click, the sound of something being set off.

(Rank+Ninjutsu Knowledge)

>>16985833
"But I think, that the only food you need was with me all the time. Or i might be mistaking."

>>16985844
oh hell, don't let us damage the robes our father lent us

>>16985844
Guys, I hope I am not alone here, because I forgot how to roll.

rolled 12, 10, 20, 3, 19, 11 = 75

>>16985858
...I think our skill number determines the number of d20s we roll. rolling on that assumption

rolled 7, 10, 7, 8, 9 = 41

>>16985844
Rank 3 + Ninjutsu Knowledge 2

>>16985869
D10's. Not 20's

I CALLED IT!

>>16985871
....oh shit.
That's a critical failure. We're fucked, aren't we.

rolled 9, 3, 8, 9, 3 = 32

"You just like those traps, don't you Inari?"

rolled 3, 3, 9, 5, 7 = 27

playing hard to get are we?

>>16985869
You add your Rank (which for us is 3 for being a Chunin, and our Skill which is 2 for Ninjutsu Knowledge)

>>16985871
Delicious no successes.

The sound of something mechanical moving fills the air as you try to see what's happening two long towers appear out of the water and shoot needles, all of them hitting above the knees, elbows, wrists, and beneath the neck. Your head is the only part unaffected, the rest of you is completely locked down and can't use chakra.

Out of the water climbs Inari who smiles at you, completely dry in a gorgeous red kimono, cut short around the thighs as she shakes her long curly black hair and sits down in front of you, legs stretched out as she winks, "Good evening, my dear. You look very nice."

>>16985752
"Inari. Don't make me bleed on this, it is my father's."

And set up the picnic with Hyuuga precision and attention to detail. Also, properly arrange the flowers used.

>>16985746
>then enter Citizens, with clubs

Clubs, bills, and partisans! strike! beat them down!
Down with the Capulets! down with the Montagues!

>>16985894
Can we speak? (That's a question to OP)

>>16985894
I'm starting to think you have a fetish for traps, my dear.
>pull out food and share
by the way, you look quite striking

>>16985894
Or, as we can't do that, just twich properly and try to breath.

>>16985894
Inari, where are you? I am afraid you tricked me again.

>>16985906
Yes, we can speak and we can turn our head. Little else however.

>>16985907
She giggles softly and sees your arm muscles feebly twitch as she gets the food, "You have a marvelous taste, darling." She muses as she combs some of your hair out of your face with a smile. She pours you both a drink and climbs into your lap, the top of her kimono "accidently" coming a bit loose as she smiles and sits back down, "Tell me, how has life been treating you? Having fun with your newfound duties? I hear through the grapevine that you're a very successful young man."

>>16985894
*sigh*
"Always with the traps. Reminds me of when we first met.
"Beautiful as always, Inari."

>>16985900
>Enter old CAPULET in his gown, and his
wife [LADY CAPULET].
What noise is this? Give me my long sword, ho

>>16985923
Life has been treating me rather well, to the point where I'm one of my branch family's commanders. currently though I've been given the rather dull assignment of hunting down bandits and samurai on my lonesome. terribly dull and boring without any company as I'm sure you can imagine.

also, may I ask why you continue with these poisons? Surely you know I would not harm you or run.

>>16985923
"Everything comes and goes, but what happened to you? Is that Inari that I see? Or it isn't her anymore?"
P.S: playing crane

>>16985923
"Why do you keep paralyzing me? Are you afraid?" Look directly in the sharingan, bracing ourselves for a genjutsu

>>16985941
>>16985948
She clicked her tongue very softly and smiled, "Sweet Shingen, you're trying to fish. I know you won't run, my dear, but I like having you right where I want you." She said and removed a single needle from your leg which she begins to massage slowly.

She laughs again, a high ringing laugh, like a bell, "Of course it's me, Shingen, don't you recognize your Inari?"

>>16985954
"Not at all afraid, why would I be afraid of my darling?"

>>16985957
Perfer being the dominant one do we? and how has life been treating you my dear? I heard you were in a bit of a rough patch

>>16985957
"I'd just like to enjoy your company, Inari, without being paralyzed.
"But enough about me, how are you doing?"

>>16985971
"I like keeping my Shingen where I can see him at all times." She said with a wink, "But I can't always let that happen. Anyway, no, life has been alright for me. I've been a busy girl." She said gently before getting close to you and kissing your cheeks, "Come on Shingen, why have you been hiding from me? Why have you been sitting there making genjutsu release seals? Are you afraid of me?"

>>16985957
"No, I don't. You are not the one who I saved from the darkness, and not the one I was thinking about for these long three years. Also, stop calling me "dear". That doesn't suit you. You sound like my grandma."

>>16985986
"Oh, just remembering how we first met. That was quite the kick, you know."

>>16985986
"Not afraid, I was waiting for her. With anticipation. Do you know that feeling right before a miracle will happen? I don't feel it anymore."

>>16985986
Nothing of the sort. in our previous...engagements you simply brought to light a major weakness in my defenses. I am merely trying to work out how to compensate for them.

As for hiding, well... let's just say I was unsure of how to approach the situation. It's not everyday one has such a beautiful women take an interest in you.

>>16986004
>>16986005
She smiles, "It was, Shingen, it really was." She says softly in a feline purr as she strokes the tips of the senbon, the sensation returning to your limbs just for a second long enough to feel the pain and burning she is sending down them before they go numb again. "Do you want me to let you go? Will you promise to be a good boy and behave?" She asks softly and smiles, tossing her hair again.

>>16986021
"Awww, Shingen, you're making me all red in the face." She says and pulls out another needle, "That's for being such a good boy."

>>16986025
You needn't worry about my behavior. I shall be a perfect gentleman, I swear

>>16986037
She smiles and removes all the needles that restrict your right arm, "There, now we can eat together. But wouldn't you rather have me feed you and take care of you, my hero?"

>>16986025
"I will behave. But things you keep closest to you tend to disappear. And now, please put that needle back, I think taking them out for you as painful as it is for me."

>>16986045
"Do you want to do that that badly?"

>>16986045
"As tempting as that sounds, I'd rather eat together, with you."

>>16986045
How bloody is our dad's robe? "No, my beloved, I would not. I would rather we feed each other, and grow wise from the fruits of knoweldge we have shared."

Bashish all thougths of that cute Earth Girl from our minds. I think she can read thoughts.

>>16985928
A crutch, a crutch! why call you for a sword?

>>16986045
well, if you must, but I'd like to be able to feel you with my own hands

I just realized Shingen is probably somewhat insane. just look at all the voices in his head

>>16986056
She smiles again, this one more slight, as she hands you your chopsticks and sits opposite you, "Enjoy the meal, Shingen."

Though the food is unquestionably delicious you feel like you're eating in front of a tiger who is considering making you desert.

>>16986070
She laughs again, "Such statements! And from out of the blue as well, you are quite the daring one, Shingen." She says and takes a sip of her tea.

>>16986068
As your mind flickers to the Earth girl you don't see any sort of reaction, maybe she can read minds, maybe she can't. Regardless, she is composed and very elegant, very refined looking. She learned, somewhere, how to be like this.

The meal goes on until the both of you are done eating. Afterwards she takes your box and washes it out in the basin, as she does hers and looks at you, "It's nice to be able to be with you again, every once in a while, Shigen. I'm afraid we're running out of time, but next time, let's have some sake ok? I want to drink with the man I love." She says, the first time she's ever said it as she flushes dark red and leans in, giving you a hard kiss and then slides a needle into your neck, causing your whole body to lock up and your eyes to swim. "Good bye my darling." She says, "For now." As she walks off the raft she puts her hands together and the water around the raft explodes violently, rocking the raft and when the water clears she's long gone. The needles slowly slither their way out of your skin and fall to the raft slowly and steadily. In about five minutes you're all freed again.

>>16986099
>I'm afraid we're running out of time,
Oh that doesn't sound good.
I think we need to concentrate on stopping her first. We can figure out a way to get her treatment later, but we need to prevent whatever she's plotting first.

>>16986099
"Well, fortune favors the bold my dear."

check our garment for any tears or blood, if it is presentable we head back to home base, get back into combat gear and return to the mission

>>16986114
I'm pretty sure she was referring to this specific date rather than anything else.

>>16986099
Okay, we got more questions than answers, BUT, there are certain things to do: 1. Get some of the needles, we will need them for later. 2. Scan our body to see if chakra was applied. 3. When we will get home speak to our father to learn more how to not become paralyzed so easily. 4. GET FUCKEN STRONGER

Archived
http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/16969080/

ALSO TRAP SENSE. SEE IF THERE IS SOME DANGER ROOM OR SOMETHING SO WE CAN PRACTICE AVOIDING THIS SHIT

>>16986117
The damage is remarkably slight. A few holes in the fabric and almost no blood, just a single droplet on the neckline where she stuck you. She's extremely skilled with her needles, frighteningly so.

You return home, thank your Father, and redress for battle. As you make for the door you collapse backwards onto your mat, your head swimming again as you feel slightly ill. Maybe you ate something bad...but you feel tired and weak...the mission can continue.

>>16986130
You gather about seven of the ten needles, more than enough for a steady sample, and put them in a box at home. Additionally, once you check your body, you can't see if any chakra was applied, the paralysis having lasted long enough for your own chakra to flush any external chakra out, and even your Byakugan can't sense anything.

Anon, I partly agree with you: she IS either yandere or just want to show us how good and tough she became. That means, we should become so badass, that even our ancestors would cry from envy.

>>16986099
Try not to shake and vomit. Rub our neck and plan on chasing that very strong redheaded chap - and see if we can't make it for those training lessions. I want a smart, not psyco girl to relax with after that.

Did we learn anything from her from this meeting?

>>16986148
Is there anything medically wrong with us that we can see?
It might not have been something we ate, but rather being subjected to Inari's paralysis jutsu multiple times might have side-effects.

>>16986148
Talk to our father after we awaken, to get some advice on ninjutsu. Possibly a dialogue/lecture

>>16986155
make our catch-phrase "JUST WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM?!"

/joking-ish

>>16986161
You scan over yourself again, but there's nothing really alarming about it. Yet you cannot shake feeling so bad. Exhaustion, fatigue, dizziness...you might have had a slight panic attack or something.

When you awaken the next day you go to your Father, knowing you have stuff to ask him.

>>16986157
You can contact Momoji by leaving a note near the tree, if you want to organize a training session with her.

>>16986180
hold off on this till post mission methinks. in the meantime, talk to daddy about trap avoidence, and general combat advice with emphasis on defending against surprise attacks and ambushes.

>>16986180
We have to ask him about more genjutsu techniques and how to break them, as well as working on our ninjutsu.

Also, I don't know if we should be contacting Momoji so soon. Doing so could make her a target of Inari.

Oh, and if we're still feeling ill, we should really see the Clan medics and doctors. Maybe it's something mundane, maybe not. But fighting when ill is just asking for trouble.

>>16986201
"Hmmm....well traps are some of the most difficult things to fight against as a shinobi. We Hyuugas have an edge against almost all traps, but there are some people who can build counter-Hyuuga traps, things that resist our Byakugan sight, genjutsu that work when we spy on them from afar, and the like. Dangerous stuff. The best advice is learn to cope with it when it happens." He says and then smiles, "Ambushes are easy! Three, four, five, even six on one we can usually win because we can never be flanked. Our Byakugan lets us see and dodge things from all sides."

>>16986209
This morning you feel vastly improved, much better on the whole. It must have been a one night thing.

Guys, look Momoji and Inari: they are quite similar.
Dominant - Yes.
Power level near us or greater than us - Yes
Can totally rape us if they ant to - Yes
We are being emotional bitches near them - Yes
Seriously, we need to learn how to blast giant mountains with chakra and show everybody, that we are the ones dominant here

>>16986216
also ask if he ever got involved with slightly insane women when growing up. play it off as a joke if possible

>>16986222
He laughs, "No, can't quite say I did. But my older brother of the Seventh House, he could tell you some stories." The man said with a smile as he looked at you, "Why? Can't keep the kunoichi at bay?"

>>16986216
"Father, what should a tired traveler do to conquer a volcano? Not a simple mountain, but a volcano, waiting to erupt and swipe the traveler with it's fiery emotions?"

>>16986231
"Yeah, well, something like that."

Note: go and talk with our uncle in the Seventh House about women problems.

>>16986231
"You are as insightful as always, father. Can you tell me his name, for I want to talk with him."

>>16986231
you could say that.

>>16986236
He grins, "Either get out of the way or learn to take the heat."

>>16986242
Your uncle Hitoro was one you didn't see too much. Unlike your Father, who was charismatic and blithe, Hitoro was rather analytical and cool. He was like you, a genius and a handsome man, but he settled down with some cousin of his for the betterment of the Clan. Out of all of your father's siblings, Patriarch included, he was probably in the top three in terms of power.

The two of you go to his sitting room where he sits behind a table and offers you some tea. Unlike most Hyuuga he is bald and doesn't cover his Branch Mark, finding no shame in it as he looks at you with his eyes, "What ails you, nephew?"

>>16986268
Women troubles. Of the slightly crazy kind

>>16986268
99 problems and they're all a girl.

"My Father said that, well, that you might have some advice that could me with my problems. Of the female persuasion. Of the slightly crazy female persuasion."

>>16986276
"I know the problem well. Midori Aburame. She pursued me for ten years before finally getting the message that I wouldn't want to stick my genitals into her bug-filled crevice." She said flatly and rather bluntly as he crossed his arms. "She was relentless. She would come to the camp and call me out. Whenever I was out on missions she would help me fight. She was pretty, smart, extremely talented, but I wasn't interested in her like that." He said.

>>16986268
"Thank you for agreeing to talk to me, Uncle. I will not misguide you with deceptive tales and questions, but will ask you straight: Have you ever dated a woman, that is trying to stuff you with explosives and very sharp objects? What am I trying to ask, have you ever dated a crazy person?"

>>16986299
>>16986289
OP away for a few hours!

Don't forget to upvote people

http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/16969080/

>>16986289
"But, do you have any advice if I AM interested, just want her to tone down the crazy?
"I mean, she wasn't always like this."

>>16986303
That's okay, OP!
>>16986289
"But was she ever aggressive to you? Did she ever think, that pain is the same thing that is pleasure? And have you ever tried to show her, how misguided is she?"

>>16986289
Any advice on dealing with stalkers? or the ones that view you as their property?

Guys, I think that the only way we can show Inari that if she wants to be with us, she is the one to be collared, is to plainly overpower her. Paralyze her, bind her, torture her, while telling her who is the strongest of you two. Maybe she will think about that Uchiha guy, but we should clearly show her the difference: She needs to earn our love, and prove hers.

>>16986365
So out-yandere the yandere girl?

>>16986365
> bind her, torture her, while telling her who is the strongest of you two.

This is going a bit too far for my liking. WAY too far. We are not that Uchiha bastard. we are a gentleman, a professional. We have standards to which we hold ourself.

I think we should start asking to spar with her to improve our abilities, get to the point where we can beat her regularly.

>>16986370
Exactly.
>>16986381
Sorry, I am a little bit over reactive, but what am i trying to say, that we should outyandere her, to show how we feel, of course try to do it in a playful way, and to not cause more harm, than she caused to us. As if the Hyuuga Prodigy has gone crazy.

>>16986401
presumeably away from prying eyes so as not to ruin our image?

I still don't think that's a good idea. she likes us because we're a white knight, a good guy, keep to our morale compass. I think trying to out-yandere her would backfire and we'd wind up with a scorned woman.

>>16986401
Therefore, as you said we are "cool professionals", but with all that chakra blows and constant teasing of a mad girl, even the calmest of seas will throw a storm. We've been calm for too long. It's time too show others, that Hyuuga don't attack, because they are too powerful for others too handle.

>>16986412
As amusing as the idea of out-yandering a yandere stalker is, I have to agree with this guy.

>>16986412
I see your point, but as I see the situation, she not only sees us as a white knight, but also thinks that she thinks that we left her, and tried to stay away from her. Also, with all that Madara's relative thing going on, we better show ourselves crazy. I don't suggest running missing nins, but we should fix that.
Also, I really hope for the HAPPY ending with Inari. Not all that angst and derpdark.

>>16986444
>Thinks that she thinks
My apologies, Sir

>>16986412
>>16986426
And I'm trying to spice things a little bit up. Do you remember the times, when we sawed through Raikage? We were badass (in that company). Also, we are trying to play NG or LG character, how about playing CG one? A character, that has good intentions, but some bad outcomes?

>>16986444
I'd still rather take a more passive approach. I honestly don't think we'd be able to get her in any position where she's the submissive one, if her trend of running when we see and pursue her continues. That's the biggest hurdle right there honestly

>>16986469
Sawing through the Raikage with Shimaru was the result of planning and the luck of Gen providing a Wind Chakra Seal.
Shingen may be less uptight and professional-obsessed compared to Shimaru, but he's still a genius that thinks things through.

>>16986469
I am against playing CG charachter, but I think before we call ourselves "crazy", we should get enough power to blast a giant hole with raw chakra, as our grand-grand-grand-somewho did.

>>16986511
or be able to finally avoid her damn traps
<.<

>>16986503
But aren't we the planning one? We are geniuses! We should probably put her in situations where she CAN'T run or she doesn't WANT to run. That is the first step of leading her into submissiveness. It's like "Oh, I hate this, but i have to do this! Wait, is this that bad?" But the main issue is, we don't have enough power.

>>16986504
But isn't he a child though? With all that emotions and teenager stubbornness flowing in him? We made a lot of mistakes and were stricken with bad luck lately, why don't we go deeper in our childish game? First of all, we had to take another mission or meet with Earth-girl, instead of chasing a running-maniac-nin

>>16986562
lets finish our mission first of all. Work before play

>>16986599
Considering how long-term that our mission parameters are, we could easily train up and do our Inari capture-and-therapy plan while doing our main mission.

>>16986599
Of course, my dear friend! First we should plow the land with power, before planting the seeds of madness.
(I promise, that would not become "HERP DERP I AM GOING TO KILL MY BROTHER" madness or "HERP DERP I WANT TO CONQUER THE WORLD" madness. Everything is simple - gaining power for having power.)

>>16986536
>>16986562
>>16986637
By the way, OP, I'm sorry, if you could see my actions as railroadin/stealing your campaign. Keep up the good work, your campaigns warm my heart and my soul.

>>16986469
I was actually - and still am - playing a LN or LE character, but Inari-crazy-pants is dragging me to LG out of fear of her hurting us.

>>16986745
Excuse me, but how would LG attitude will help us?

>>16986759
We need to outwardly resemble the hero-image of us that Inari has, to keep her from going any crazier than she already is. Or having a complete psychotic break and killing us, which given her abilities she has a very good chance of doing.

>>16986768
Oh. I see. You are quite right, but...
OUT-YANDERE THE YANDERE

>>16986768
But if being true, I don't think that she thinks of us as of a white knight anymore. Because, didn't she capture us the first time, because we left her? (kind of). Basically, I think that Inari before our training and now are two different people, we can continue to play white knight and gentleman around her, but wouldn't "You know, you are %already dead% in my control now" be more fun and original?

>>16986840
I see what you did here.

>>16986321
>>16986299
>>16986328

"Yeah, she once trapped me in a cage of bugs until I agreed to go out on a date with her. She was very pretty, so it wasn't the worst fate in the world, but still..." He said, though you could see a bit of a smile at the curve of his lips, "She was....really something else." The man told you, and you could see in his actions and words that he regretted his decision.

>>16987376

So uncle, how did you finally get her to back off?

...and how did you deal with the fallout?

>>16987386
"Well, I finally knocked her out in a fight and told her to never come around here, or never let me catch her close to me again or it was her life..." He said sadly, clearly a sensitive topic as he apparently regretted his vicious words, "I shouldn't have been like that." He said, looking out the room and seeing his wife pass he leaned close and said, "Nephew...don't let this get away from you."

>>16987394

*glance at the wife*

Does she know? ...And I do not mean to rude, just curious about what you thought, why one over the other?

>>16987414
He waits until his wife passes from the hallway before saying, "She doesn't know. She never will. And why her? Because it was safe, and it was easy, and it was what my family wanted for the Clan. I didn't love her. Follow your love."
