>>17154598
Keep the senbons in our inventory, we'll examine them when we have time. Go over our stuff, make sure she didn't take anything.

Also we should byakugan the flower. Make sure its not some sort of hidden trap to activate some sort of..plant based illusion/attack.

>>17154617
Then we should get ready to deal with that recovery squad that's been attracted by the fire.

>>17154598

"....Why do I have to fall for the crazy one?"

Going to assume she doesn't want us to reveal to the world that she's still alive.

Go home, present eyes, inform them that the eyes couldn't belong to the so called 'Black Widow' because we met her once, and her eyes had the three pinwheel thing instead of two.

>>17154632
No, we get the hell out of here before the recovery squad gets here. Leave no evidence.

>>17154635
I liked the alternative of saying that these were the eyes of the person who had been kidnapping the Main Branch members.

>Dat picture

>>17154598

>>17154652
Thanks

>>17154652
>Dat Inari

>>17154663
>>17154652

Shingen looks pretty cool too. My mental image of him was actually close.

>>17154635

Let me clarify: We are to let them assume that we found and killed the person who was killing our dudes. Since the only 'rogue' Uchiha had a three-pinwheel thing this one couldn't have been her.

Implicate the Uchiha might have had something to do with Hyuga disappearances.

I figure 'solving' this mystery might be enough to call our mission a success. If not, it's more than enough to justify a pit-stop at the Clan hold. If they ask about the letter, reply that it was a precaution. You got lucky and got the drop on them, while you were expecting MUCH more of a fight.

Make sure your story matches that of your comrades, without making it obvious that you intend to lie to your clan.

>>17154635
>>17154647
>>17154617

A quick scan over the flower reveals it's just a rose, a simple forest rose. Maybe she's not so mad after all. Regardless, you make yourself extremely scarce and return home.

When you present your findings to the Patriarch, your Father close at hand, he smiles widely and tells you that you do honor by your Clan. He welcomes you back to the compound and tells you to give him a full account of what you've been doing. With some creative embellishment you describe your actions, being sure to mention your aid to the Senjuu. He is not only extremely impressed, but is willing to show it. He announces to you that because of your honorable service you will be made the official Senjuu-Hyuuga Relations Embassador. The Patriarch is quick to explain the following.

"Your military rank will remain, but socially and politically you will be considered Second Branch. Additionally you can call upon the Clan's financial resources to better grow our interclan relationships, be it expensive dinners, whatever needs to be done. As such I give you access to the coffers. I am showing a lot of trust to you, my Nephew." he says, showing to you that he is honoring his word fully, you are Second Branch in all ways.

>>17154652
>>17154658
>>17154663
>>17154682

I like the pic too, Inari looks amazing.

I'm honestly amazed at how incredibly far off my mental image of Shingen is from everyone else's though.

>>17154658
I like how Shingen is all like "Do you really have to paralyze me AGAIN?" and Inari is "Silly Shingen, of course I do."

>Dat filename

>>17154700
To be fair I'm just kind of throwing stuff out there. My own mental image is Nobunaga Oda with the byakugan. Decided for a more traditional look though.

>>17154697

Just so we're clear guys, we are abusing the ever-loving SHIT out of that.

We're abusing it until our clan calls a hit.

Did we manage to >>17154684

Before >>17154697

?

>>17154726
Yeah, you're all in the clear. Your friends corroborate the story and it's highly evident that you were the one to bring in the Hyuuga Killer.

>>17154722

I pictured him looking a lot more like how Hyuga are generally presented: Slighter, lighter build, looser robes as opposed to a more traditional outfit, etc.

>>17154705

It really does capture their relationship's dynamic.

>>17154733

Whats the status of relations with the Wind now?

Bout time we went to see that kid we saved.

>>17154744
Average. After our brief kerfuffle with the Wind shinobi Senjuu hasn't really locked horns, nor has Hyuuga, so for the most part all is well. You could really bolster relationships waving the Hyuuga Clan Flag and trying to play off that relationship, were you so interested.

>>17154744

We should do that. Immediately after a quick visit to wind, we go the Rock, and see that one girl.

Crap, I forget is Momoji from the Land of Stone? Are we going to be able to request to go there any time soon? Cash in that training we owe her? Hell we could try and become Ambassador (Or Ambadassador) to all our allies.

>>17154744
>>17154753
>>17154764

Wind-Rock-Back seems to be our course.

>>17154753
I say we go for it. Let the patriarch know that we have a link that could lead to fruitful negotiations with the wind should we pursue it and that we are willing to attempt to make headway in Hyuuga wind relations at his leave.

>>17154766

One step at a time.

Ambassador-at-large is a highly important post. We should show we can do our job as a simple ambassador first.

Also I'm glad everyone like the image I'll try and get one of Momoji and Jako out soonish. With that said back to anon status for me.

>>17154766

Pretty sure, yeah.

Well, seems we need to start laying out the next part of our game-plan.

Long term goals, based on our Nindo:

-Peace, at least in the land of fire.
-More power, either personally, or through the Hyuga Clan.
-Inari not getting a 'bad end'.

Suggested Course of action:
-Take blame for Inari's actions.
-Spin it so the Uchiha look insane (shouldn't be hard)
-unite clans
-Become first Hokage, by virtue of being a conniving motherfucker.

What do you guys think?

>>17154766
>>17154764
>>17154777
>>17154783


So be it.

A few more social calls back home before you go, and with the Patriarch's approval, Jako, Honda, who has requested to be your Liason to the Senjuu, and yourself are on your way to the Land of Wind, dressed head to toe in loose cloth robes that cover your mouth and nose from the sandy winds.

You make your way through the desert, the Hyuuga Clan seal, one of the three your Clan owns, present so that when you are accosted, as you inevitably will be, you have identification.

Sure enough the sands shift and a series of shinobi rise, to which you present the scroll and request to speak to Monzaemon Chikimatsu.

Blindfolds, chakra enriched so that you can't see through them, as well as a couple for your friends and you are marched through the sands.

In a few moments time you arrive at the camp, full of tents and loose flaps of cloth to protect the inhabitants from the wind. Monzaemon Chikimatsu sits before you in a simple white robe with a gray coat over it. He gazes down a long hooked nose topped with furrowed eyebrows before relaxing them and smiling.

"You are Shingen Hyuuga. No introductions are needed, Shingen-san, I can tell simply by virtue of your bearing and air about you, you are the man who saved my cousin's life." He stands up and embraces you tight to his chest, "For saving his life, you are to me as a brother. Please, your friends are welcome guests in my home, take a seat." he says, offering you one of the seats on his own level, showing a recognition of status, "I am at your disposal, how can I treat you? The Chikimatsu Clan takes care of its guests well!"

>>17154813

>Deliberately piss off Madara.
>Become Hokage.

Fuck me, you don't do things by halfs, do you?

I like it.

>>17154825

"Thank you for your warm greeting Chikimatsu-san. I have been recently been assigned as Ambassador to the our Senjuu brothers and while this is technically outside my jurisdiction, I was the ideal choice to come and foster better relations between our clans. I am here today to help strengthen the bonds between our respective families and expedite the peace process."

>>17154825

"You honor me. I'd be delighted to partake in your hospitality. My purpose here is simple, as you say I assisted your cousin before and in turn you offer me such a warm welcome that it makes the heat of theses sands a simple summer breeze. This feeling of comradery, can it not be shared among not only ourselves, but our clans as well? Could we not take our past experiences and create a bond where your kin and my own may share sake and tales, where they may bind each others wounds and prop each others spirits? Monzaemon Chikimatsu may I ask your aid in forging such an alliance?"

>>17154844
>>17154852

"I congratulate you on your success, the heavens themselves are open to a good man like you, Shingen." he says and sits down, indicating briefly before you are both brought ice-cold water which he sips from happily, "Chimatsu is out on a mission at the moment, but he will be back by nightfall. I am certain he will be pleased to see you." Monzaemon says as he leans back before steepling his fingers, "In addition to returning my cousin to me safe and well you bring tidings of good will from the Hyuuga Clan? I am impressed. Few can do such as you, Shingen. Perhaps it is fate, or some guardian angel harkening you towards these events, but I am pleased to welcome your entreaties. Yes, such an alliance could be seen as possible. Certainly nothing as close as you have with the Senjuu, our distance prohibits that, but amongst the swirling sands you will always find brothers, that I assure you." he says with a solemn nod. "Ah! But come, the night is beginning to fall upon us and out here that means we shall feast and wine and enjoy the night!" You can see Honda's eyes lighting up slightly at the word "feast" .

>>17154866
Politely enjoy the festivities and retain our composure as a shinobi and ambassador. Enough drink and food not to offend but not enough to impair one's judgment or abilities should a situation arise. This is our first mission as an ambassador and we chose this task ourselves, we must take every step to ensure we conduct ourselves accordingly. Also a good ninja always suspects betrayal.

>>17154885

Also, chat with the other guest and family members. Try to figure out whats the situation both internally and externally for the Chikimatsu.

Enemys, factions and what nots.

Should we offer trade? I know the Wind Village's medical team are pretty good, Chiyo being a prime example.

>>17154885
The night goes on wonderfully. You are introduced to many interesting and skilled men and beautiful women who all want to dance with you. Chimatsu himself makes an appearance and embraces you as a brother as well, the two of you speaking at great length about one another before night's end. Honda eats a surprisingly little amount for his standards and Jako even dances with one tall shy woman who was eyeballing him.

The morning sun rises with its blistering fanfare as the majority of the Clan is out on various duties. Monzaemon is across the Great Hall where he is working on his puppets, one of his legendary ten, right in front of you in open sight, as honest as can be. He hums softly to himself as you run down the list of last night's notable events.

1) Monzaemon is one of the strongest shinobi in the land. The shinobi who stood beside him when his Clan went to battle was Otori Saito, the Lord of Metal. The two of them are fierce rivals, but their Clans are long allies.

2) Monzaemon is known to be wise, kind, and gentle. Otori is rude, brash, and harsh like the winds. However, both are ruthless in battle and strategic geniuses.

3) Tobirama and Hashirama both support Monzaemon's ascension to power, rather than Otori's.

That was all of political note you gathered during the course of the night. A great deal of small talk paved the way for that, so you are grateful you were able to learn so much.

>>17154899

Ambassadors don't trade directly, we help negotiate trade agreements. Its up to the merchants and civilians to work out deals with their counterparts in the other clan.

In any case, our Patriach must have given us an indication of what trading terms and possible concessions, joint training missions, embassies or such that we can offer and deal.

>>17154908

We probably have to wait to be called, such is the way of being granted audiences.

Take the time to admire the puppet. It's not often you get a chance to watch a master at his work.

>>17154908

"I am honored to be able to see one of the legendary ten without it attacking me." We start off with a friendly joke.

"I've always been interested in puppetry, how did it get started as a ninja art?" Small talk, ahoy!

Good luck on the ambassador business, guys. I'm going to bed.

Also upvote the archived threads.

>>17154926

Speaking of puppets, is there any obvious workings of chakara? I'm not saying we need to learn a puppet jutsu, but it would be interesting to know how they work, especially if we need to counter them for some reason.

Don't do anything that might be interpreted as spying though.

>>17154928
>>17154926
>>17154939

I think we should speak when spoken to in this case.

Make sure we're visible, but not intrusive.

>>17154926
After about ten minutes he calls, "Brother Shingen, please come over here. I want to show you something." he said and he holds up the puppet, a strange horse-looking puppet with a gray ponytail. Its jaw drops to show the symbol for "Buddha". He smiles, "This is part of a technique I'm working on. It will be quite the effective one when I'm done."

>>17154928
He laughs politely at your humor, "Keep your words flowing as honey, Brother, and you will never have to see the business end of my puppets." he said and when you ask about his craft he smiled, "I invented it. My father and mother were able to use chakra to propel and retract shinobi tools, kunai, explosives, at high speed and with great accuracy. However, when I was ten I developed chakra strings, which I used to control them more aptly. Then I saw a Bunraku show and I thought, 'I can store weapons and make these fight for me'. Thirty years later, and here I sit." he said and extends his fingers in an obviously rehearsed pattern as the puppet seemingly springs to life, the jaw opening and then clacking closed and open, simulating laughter as you watch the puppet leap across the room and smash apart a wooden table with a flick of Monzaemon's wrist.

>>17154945

Chakra strings, now theres a unmarked revenue. That could be the basis for our chakra-webbing.

>>17154945

Look sutible impressed.

"You invented such a complicated technique yourself? And you're capable of controlling ten of them at once? I can see why you have such a reputation among your peers. They certainly sang your praises last night."

>>17154957

We really gonna go down the spider vs vampire road again?

Really?

>>17154961

Hell no.

Not again.

>>17154960
>>17154945

Adding to that: "Such fine chakara control would even be envied among some of the Hyuga."

Given out clan's reputation for extreme knowledge and technical control, he will doubtless take this as a huge compliment, whether or not he thinks we're being honest.

>>17154945
>>17154945
"And you are able to control ten at once? Must take much concentration, although I can't help but see the inherit flaws of this technique. Seems to be suited for long-range combat and like a crab, their weakness would be the joints. Do you have a way to combat that?"

We are a genius after all, sharing our observation makes for good information delving.

>>17154961

>spider vs. vampire

What?

I'm sorry, I just saw the Naruto thread in passing, but now i can't help but wonder.

>>17154972
Short story, we're arachnophobes. And we think being a ninja vampire would be cool.

>>17154960
"You humble me, brother." He says and smiles broadly none the less, "Perhaps some day my talent may catch on. I hope that others in the Clan and in later generations come to admire my art as one of the shinobi disciplines."

>>17154968
His brows raise, "Perhaps, then, Brother, you would care for a friendly game, of sorts?" he asks and releases his puppet which falls to the ground with a clatter. He smiles as he helps you up and walks outside. Pulling out a bow and arrow he hands it to you and asks, "Please fire the arrow anywhere you wish it." He says and points at a target off in the distance. "I will make it hit its target."

>>17154971
"When I used to control a single puppet, yes, I was largely defenseless in close quarters. However, with multiples I am never without one close enough to protect me. Additionally, few foes can handle nine attackers at a single time. Even against larger numbers I use my mobility, as I can project my puppets from any angle, and strike hard from nearly a half mile away, to ensure my safety and success."

>>17154979

What would we be rolling for?

>>17154983
Rank targeting Taijutsu. Number of successes is how many arrows you shoot.

>>17154972

Short version: in the last thread people were really stuck on the idea of getting a summon. One guy suggested spiders, and by extension turning the main character into a twisted cross between man and spider.

Another guy pointed out that with the exception of literally feeding on our fellow man, we fit most of the general archetypes for a vampire to a T.

There was a debate as to which approach was better, and in the end it was mostly in the Vampire's favor; it was also agreed that we weren't sure how to go about it yet, along with a few minor snags that led to shelving the entire idea, at least in the short term.

>>17154989

Whats our rank bonus now?

>>17154998
4.

rolled 6, 6, 7, 2, 6, 4, 9, 3, 9, 5, 8 = 65

>>17154979

4+ 7 =11 d10?

I say we shoot in random directions all around. Use our byakugan to make sure we're not aiming at anyone directly.

>>17155000

We only have four Taijutsu?

>>17155009

Even better, link a chakara string like his to one of the arrows. use it to try and direct the course.

>>17155010
No no. We have 7 Taijutsu.

But we roll 4 dice, the number of our rank, and the number we get less than or equal to 7, is a success.

>>17155017

You fire off 4 arrows and subtly try to connect your chakra to them as you lead them off. However, Monzaemon flicks his wrist and all four arrows stiffen and bolt straight into the center of the target. He smiles and looks at you, "That was some very subtle work. Your chakra control is immaculate."

>>17155026

In a dry tone of voice "But not good enough apparently."

>>17155032
He laughs and pats your shoulder, "You are but a young man. I have many years over you, and years of practice." The man says as he looks at you, "Tell me, Brother, what do you do in combat?"

>>17155040

"I specialise in close quarter combat like most of my brethren. Though these days I find my role being shifted to that of command."

Give a demonstration of the Gentle Fist style.

>>17155040

"Fight." Give a blank look for a moment, then crack a grin, "Generally I take advantage of my generally superior speed and seals to cripple my opponents quickly. Then I end it with my skill in Taijutsu. Assuming I'm fighting alone. And that my opponent isn't prepared for traditional Hyuga tactics. Then I change things, quite dramatically. Speed, flexibility, and misdirection. Though, I imagine you could apply that ideal to all ninja."

>>17155061

>that ideal APPLIES to all ninja

>>17155061
>>17155066

>Misread own post
>Correct typo that isn't there.
>mfw

>>17155075

And then I post the wrong reaction image.

I am on a fucking ROLL tonight.

>>17155051
>>17155061
>>17155066

He smiles and nods, "Poetry in motion. It's extremely impressive." The man says as he walks back into the tent. "You have the run of the Land, as far as I am concerned. Please, do whatever needs to be done for your mission, but please return by nightfall so we can make sure you are well."

You see Honda and Jako emerging from the sleeping tent they were in, dressed and ready for the day as Honda wipes off his face from food. The vast seeming eternity of the desert yawns before you.

What shall we do next? Go exploring? Find Otori? Head north to the Land of Earth? I'm heading to sleep for the moment. Be back in a few hours.

>>17155082

Find Otori, pay our respects.

After that we need to do our job. Negotiate trade agreements and areas of cooperation.

>>17155149

Agree with the first part, approach other cautiously.

I think a lot of the trade stuff should be worked out by the merchants. Also known as the people who actually know something about trade.

In the meantime, how are we approaching the long term?

I like what >>17154813

Said.

It's risky. It's also totally awesome.

>>17155164

Much of what we can offer as ambassador are usually dictated by the people more skilled than us.

>>17155164

You realize the plan involves staring down Madara,
changing a lot of opinions around,
telling our clan that Inari knows all about our clan's weaknesses,
proceeding to Marry Inari,
getting rid of her wanted status,
back-stabbing multiple people,
and then founding a Shinobi Nation, built on lies and about as sturdy as a house of cards in a hurricane.

I'm down.

>>17155187

Fair enough.

A naruto quest?
Really?

>>17155201
>>17155164

I think this proves, that when given multiple options, /tg/ will always attempt to conquer the world.

Well, and stick it in the crazies at the first opportunity.

>>17155227

Better than it looks.

The first thing we did was remove all of the faggotry.

Turns out, there's an interesting setting underneath the bullshit.

>>17155230
>>17155201
>>17155164
>>17154813

So if nobody objects, I'm assuming this is what we're aiming towards?

>>17155284

Yeeeeep.

Sadly, I won't be back to play until like 2-4 board time because I have my weekly game.

>>17155230
>I think this proves, that when given multiple options, /tg/ will always attempt to conquer the world.
This has been touched upon already.
http://archive.foolz.us/tg/thread/16927334
This is what /tg/ becomes in quest threads:
>GUNPOWDER, NEED MORE GUNPOWDER
>HAHAHA FUCK YEAH, WE'LL TAKE OVER THIS VILLAGE AND THE COUNTRY NEXT
>FUCKING MORE GUNPOWDER

>>17155284
We created Shimaru the Broken Sage before, I don't see why not.

I can only imagine what OP's reaction's going to be when he gets back.

"Let's see how they handle this diplomatic mission. First they're going to visit local dignitaries, then they'll.... they'll...."

>Pick a fight with Madara
>Become Hokage
>Stick it in the crazy
>GUNPOWDER, NEED MORE GUNPOWDER
>HAHAHA FUCK YEAH, WE'LL TAKE OVER THIS VILLAGE AND THE COUNTRY NEXT
>FUCKING MORE GUNPOWDER

So, current short term plan is to meet with Otori, introduce ourselves, return to Monzaemon and arrange for a trade deal to be brokered by our traders, and then move to the Land of Stone?

If nothing else I must compliment you on dedication, most trolls only use the first post.
In any case, perhaps we should try to follow Inari's footsteps and learn how the Hyuuga cursed seal works and try to change it. While the cursed seal is keeping a great deal of Hyuuga from their full potential, it is necessary to keep the Byakugan's secrets safe. If we could devise a new brand of cursed seal, we could remove the threat of Inari's influence and protect our clan. I won't deny that the woman is brilliant, but we can't have this hanging over our heads forever.

Feel free to cry more, it'll just end up with another thread being posted once this one fills up with your copy pasta. Use your time more wisely and go enjoy a /tg/ related game.

>implying trolling isn't a /tg/ related game.

Also reported for discussing /a/ material in a /tg/ thread.

>>17157649
I don't know if we know about seals enough to even get started on that.
Also, I think that any attempt to make a change to the seal, even as well-respected as we are, would result in an instant burn notice and a kill-on-sight order going out on us.

>>17157775
Nah, don't worry about it. They're all saged, so they don't contribute to the bump limit. He can post as much as he wants but it won't do a damn thing.
Obviously he doesn't understand the way the system works.

Someone link to /a/, they would appreciate this.

Yo copypasta guy, I don't know if you know this but... The entire reason this quest exists is because we AGREE with this copypasta- we're trying to fix these problems and have a good time doing it.

And if you happen to be trolling for the sake of trolling, well I hate to break it to you but you should have started two months ago, pal.

>>17157858

Ah, pity. We could do with a new thread.

In any case, what do we have pending in the Wind?

What I can think off the top of my head would be a good check into their external and internal political situation and perhaps setting up some sort of permanent liaison with them, along with a letter of recommendation to the Patriarch to send a qualified full time diplomat.

>>17157937
We should talk to the other big name in the village. He will be the real obstacle to overcome if we want to be successful. It's good to have the big wig's voucher for us but we also need to be proactive in securing our goals.

>>17157937
We got a quick crash course in their internal politics at the party last night, so I think the idea others had was to meet with the second power in the Land of Wind, Otori.
Meeting with him is going to be full of him insulting us, if his description by others is right.

Then we need to arrange for a trade summit between our respective traders.

Some people seem to want to go to the Land of Stone after this to meet with Momiji, and maybe try to smooth over relations between Stone and Fire.

>>17157859
It's pretty impressive, I'll tell you what.

Worst part of, without some of the mouth-breathing and sperg rage, there's a lot of truth to what's being said.

I think 3/4 the posts are towards shitty character development, which I something we can all agree is horrible and extremely lacking. Naruto in its current state is unreadable and awful, a fact that I or anyone here has never failed to admit. That's all I'm saying on the subject, and that's all I hope you will say as well.

Now, let's move on.

>>17157803
>>17157649

That would be difficult to do. Not knowing how Inari did so, you will have to figure it out. Otori's camp, to your understanding is a few miles away, short enough for you to get there in just a few quick hops.

>>17157976
imo not as bad as hetalia or homestuck

just saying.

>>17158007
I don't want to snub him, but I expect only insults and maybe a fight if we go meet with Otori.
But since that's what people want, can we ask around camp how we should approach him, and any topics we should stay away from?

>>17158010
>>17158010
>>17158034
>>17157995

A few pointed questions to the right people and they explain that Otori doesn't like outsiders, probably to the point of confirming your suspicions and framing you, giving him pretense for an attack. The man isn't a very kind one and his campaign seems to be based on the "Strength of the Land of Wind's people."

>>17158052

What do you mean, 'campaign'?

Military action or political?

>>17158068
This is a good question.

I really do wish we could meet with him on neutral ground and see if we can't improve relations, but sadly it seems unlikely that it's a risk worth taking atm.

>>17158096
I have to agree that given what we've been told about him, meeting him would only result in us getting into a fight and being framed for a crime we didn't commit.

It might be better to just get some trade talks started.

Also, what plans do we have for Stone, besides vague ideas of meeting Momoji and doing the whole ambassador thing?

>>17158096
>>17158126

Actually, there might be a way.

We can ask the guy we saved to accompany us to meet with Otori.

Depending on his stance. It is possible to appeal to him:
* That we seek strong allies. The Wind are among the strongest in the land.

* The strong recognise the strong. If we spar with a chosen of his and get him to acknowledge us, he'll be more willing to accept us.

>>17158151

Hide the thread then. Have a pleasant day.

>>17158151
Then hide the thread.
We'll continue to play-test our homebrew system and have fun.

>>17158151
This thread has been on /tg/ far, FAR longer than you realize, and more than YOU.

/tg/ is NOT like other fucking parts of 4chan, and we accept all kinds of people,tastes and fandoms, AS LONG AS THEY are within the rules of /tg/, which means traditional games, quests and other things.

If you dont like it, LEAVE.
We're at peace here in /tg/.
DONT BRING IN YOUR FUCKING HATE.

>>17158169
>We can ask the guy we saved to accompany us to meet with Otori.
I don't know if that's a good move.
He's a close relative of the Monzaemon, the one obstacle to Otori being the leader of the shinobi in the Land of Wind.
I think that might make the situation even worse.

>>17158180
What?
The Naruto RP has been here for fucking months, newfag.

FUCK- THE-RIGHT-OFF.

Weve even had STAR WARS QUESTS,TERMINATOR QUESTS, ANIME QUESTS....

You're talking out of your ass.

>>17158151
Where the content comes from has no difference on what is or is not /tg/ related. This quest is built around the premise of putting a table top rpg system together. That means its proper place is /tg/.

With your opinion on the source material though, that's fine. Different strokes for different folks, and there's definitely a lot with the setting and story that's cringe worthy. Most of those who participate seem drawn in by the Wuxia S.W.A.T Wizard aspect though.

>>17158194
>>17158209

Chill, bros. Lets just enjoy the game and ignore trolls.

>>17158196

Went to reread the info provided. You are correct, that would not be a good idea.

However as ambassador, we cannot afford to be seen as snubbing them. No matter what, we have to pay at least a courtesy call to them.

I'd suggest we look around the village to see if there are any friendly inhabitants of that clan and follow them back.

>>17158238
Better yet, tell them we wish to meet with Otori and let them deliver the message. Make it clear that the Hyuga clan is not looking to exclude any major players from the table.

>>17158267

Problem with that is Otori's mentality.

His type will see this as cowardice and weakness. He'll probably throw away the letter and demand anything of important to be said to his face.

>>17158286
Oh no no. It a request for an audience with him is all. As opposed to rolling up into his home unannounced we just send a polite letter his way saying we've heard that he is a man worthy of respect and we would not be averse to meeting should he so wish. Basically 'if you want a say in negotiations with my clan by all means join our talks. I'm not gonna just blunder into a scandal for you though.'

>>17158267
>>17158238
Going through a third party might be bad, considering his personality. He believes in direct strength, and a roundabout method, especially from an outsider, might only raise his ire.
If we meet him at all, it'll probably have to be face-to-face and him insulting us.

>>17158332

I agree with this.

>>17158321
It's tempting, but it's still risky.
Maybe just show up on their doorstep and wait for one of them to come to us?
They already know we're here, surely.

>>17158321
>>17158468
Also, we can mention Chikamatsu, Otori would not miss a chance to how he is much better than his rival.

>>17158542
*show

>>17158564
Looks like someone invested in the Explosive Resistance and Pure Adrenaline perk trees.

>>17158564
Looks like trolls are hungry.

>>17158564
Looks like mods are working fine too. Or maybe it's a shy troll.

Hey guys, I know I am a little bit late with suggestions about training, but since we have such high chakar control, can we use keitai henkai on some of our techniques? Basically, I'm asking if we can change the shape of our thrown chakra-fists into something more pointy (a drill or pyramid form), for example.

>>17160258
I know we can form chakra scalpels, but I think they require that they stay connected to our chakra system.

On the other hand, we learned that chakra strings are possible.
We could combine our Far Fist with chakra scalpels and chakra strings and our kekkei genkai to allow us a ranged method of disrupting an enemy's chakra system.
But there might be more efficient, mundane ways to do that.

>>17160426
I think we actually can make a rasengan of some kind

>>17160690
But we don't have Wind chakra. How would we pull it off?

Don't need wind chakra to do a Rasengan. But anyway, let's proceed.

The general consensus seems to be towards meeting Otori, and for us to approach him in a direct and upfront manner.

Is this correct?

>>17162786
That appears to be the case. I still think it's a little too dangerous though.
I think the voting was nearly split down the middle.

>>17162786
>>17162848
I agree that it was split. i think a good compromise is to gather what intel we can to make using us as a catalyst for diplomatic breakdowns as difficult as possible then meet with the man in an upfront and straight forward manner. No bullshit, no unnecessary fluff, see if he's willing to play ball and what the price of admission is.

>>17162848
>>17162973

Perhaps err on the side of safety we go to the Land of Earth?

>>17163015
Perhaps. What were we going to do there again? Meet with Momoji, see if there are any diplomatic things we need to smooth over?

>>17163026
More or less yes.

>>17163031
Unless someone really wants to talk with Otori, or feels strongly that not talking with him now will result in complications for us down the line, then I suppose we should go to the Land of Earth.

>>17163015
Well let's at least meet our friend properly since we're all the way here. If it seems safer diplomatically to leave the bear lie then we can at least make some stronger bonds while here.

Speaking of do we have bonds with any of our fellows yet op?

>>17163026
We also owe her some training/meal.
>'Hey the crazy psycho bitch whose stalking me, says its okay if we date!'

>>17163066
I checked the character sheet and we bonds with Jako and Honda.

Are you referring to Chikimatsu, Monzaemon's cousin we rescued? I guess since we did rescue him we should see how he's doing.

>>17163086
Ah I missed that.

Yeah that's who I'm referring to.

>>17163086
We met him last night, as noted in the party description. Anyway, do we still want to talk to him in greater depth?

>>17163230
Oh sorry I thought he hadn't gotten back yet. Got him and his cousin mixed up. Anyway nah then let's head towards earth lands once we've got this business sewn up.

>>17163239
Yeah, I can't think of anything to say to him at the moment.

>>17163239
>>17163259

You make your good-byes and depart with your friends to the Land of Earth. The crawl up the mountainous country is extremely difficult, even for trained shinobi. Honda has the hardest time of it, struggling up every inch of the passing as he groans in exertion and eventually just inflates his hands to massive size as he pulls himself up by leaps and bounds.

You reach a central point before realizing you have no clue, whatsoever, where Momoji's Clan is. However, you didn't know where Chikimatsu was, so you proceed to use the same strategy.

Two weeks into the trip and you realize that the terrain is forbidding and labyrinthine, making traversing it nearly impossible unless you know the way already. You have moved probably a total of seven miles from your central point in two weeks, getting caught constantly in round-abouts and dead ends.

>>17163515
Should have left a note or something.

"Jako, Honda any ideas?"

>>17163515
Maybe we should retreat and try leaving a note at the tree that Momoji pointed out to us last time?

Obviously either we suck at directions, or, Earth shinobi are hiding and manipulating the earth in order to keep us going in circles.

>>17163595
>>17163578

You find your way out with relative ease and move to the Land of Grass, going to the trees where you leave the note as you were told. A few days is all you should need to wait and she should appear.

You camp near by and on the morning of day three you are awakened by the feeling of strong hands grabbing your wrists are you are put into a full nelson and a bright happy voice, "Shingen!! You do care about me!" She says, but then lets you go and punches you. "Took you long enough."

>>17163638
"I'm sorry Momoji, last time we didn't part ways in the manner I wanted. I hope you've been doing well."

>>17163638
"To be honest, I tried to find you. Then I spent two weeks going around in circles. I have no idea how you're able to navigate inside the Land of Earth."

>>17163650
>>17163653

"Yeah, that's kinda our defense." She said with a shrug as she looked up and down at your friends, "I see you brought your boyfriends." She said with a shrug before smiling, grabbing your hand and pulling you, "Come on come on, let's go! I want you to meet Daddy!"

>>17163796
Shingen just gets pushed around all the time by girls, doesn't he?
And it doesn't look like Momoji will take no for an answer.

>>17163807
She leads you, and begrudgingly leads your friends with you. All the while she looks back and forth at you and your hand before putting her hands behind her head and playing with her bracers, "So, you got lost? How long were you wandering around like a fool?"

>>17163851
Grudgingly answer Momoji's question.
"It...it was two weeks."
Look away in embarassment.

>>17163851
"Hmm about two weeks. I must admit I didn't have much to go on. We were kind of in the area and I wanted to see how you were doing."

>>17163863
She starts laughing uproariously and slaps you upside the head, "You dummy. You should have just gone to the tree in the first place. Anyway, what brings you all the way out here?" She asks, her eyes seeming to ask more than just what the question implies.

>>17163887
"...and I should probably mention this before hand. I've been given the position of an ambassador for my clan. So if the opportunity arises don't hold it against me for trying to improve relations between our clans."

Give her an earnest smile.

>>17163888
"You're right I should have. It'd have been quicker I admit.

After my actions while I was roaming the countryside I was given my new positon and was sent to the land of wind.

...

That woman I mentioned is out of danger now. Her enemies have no interest in the dead."

Start jovially and end on a somber note. Technically not a lie but at the same time its pretty misleading.

>>17163888
"I've been made ambassador for my clan and I was hoping to improve the relations between our clans. Although, I did intend to come see you and teach you a lesson or two during some training."

>>17163902
She grins, her copper skin a little red as she looks away, "Yeah, ok, sure." She says.

>>17163925
>>17163936
"Teach me a lesson, huh? I'll show you!" She says, returning to her usual mode of happiness as she grins and lifts her fists, "I've gotten faster since you last fought me, and tougher too!"

>>17163976
"Oh, faster, are you? Let's see if you can keep up when we spar, eh?"

>>17163976

>Mention that the other woman is dead.
>She knows we were close, romantically involved.
>Immediately cheerful, no mention of said horrible traumatic event.

You could at least PRETEND to feel sorry for our loss, bitch.

By the way, NOT saying that out loud.

>>17164485

Well, that's TECHNICALLY a lie.

But yeah, seriously. I kinda liked her the first time we met, now I don't know what to think.

>>17164485
>>17164498

To be fair, us having no romantic interest in her makes us JUST as big a dick.

Because what we're doing now? Called 'stringing along'. It's mean at best, and evil at worst.

Still, not many people have accused us of being nice. Except our completely fucking loco love interest.

The more I think about it, the more I realize we could be fucking rich if we decided to be therapists instead of ninjas.

Fap furiously to pictures of our rival and wear a stupid headband.

Well, if we're gonna fight I suggest trying our the Shingen style first and then our two new UAs, just to get a feel for them.

>>17167525
thread's a few hours dead, dude

You know, the structure of the Kaiten is like the first stage of the Rasengan, if we could figure out how to maintain it while stood still and add two more chakra shells we could basically have a near impervious, incredibly lethal shield.

We'd be able to drill through just about anything just by running through it.

Although how we'd develop this without pureeing ourself inside a gigantic Rasengan is the problem.

>>17168673
Actually, if we could somehow direct the Kaiten along our arms rather then around us, would could make some kind of giant drill.

>>17168914
could we make it pierce the heavens?

The thread's better off dead.

>>17170015
The thread's not dead, just taking a break until OP gets back.
Though I have to thank you for using sage; your post won't go towards the bump limit, and this thread can stay around longer.

>>17171098
what time does this quest usually run anyways?

>>17171122
12AM - 5AM EST, and 1PM - 5PM EST.
Though OP's work schedule might have changed.

>>17169631
I'm glad someone got the reference. And I hope we can.

How did we go from awesome vampire shit to a Kamina knock off?

Come on guys. Kamina makes less sense than the Spider shit. Let's not horribly derail a developing character/concept with stupid references and bad jokes.

>>17172773
A drill like technique would make sense if we continue to make the ultimate piercing technique with our gentle fist style. Combine that with lightning chakra we have and piercing techniques make sense.

Then again we could always go Vlad the Impaler style and use said drill to impale people buttocks too mouth.

>>17172773
Actually more hoping for a Corkscrew Punch of some kind of.

>>17173192

The closest thing we've thus far achieved to a consensus was Chakra leeching abilities, that could be upgraded. The max upgrade level basically ripping out all of their Chakra and wrecking their system in one go, resulting in an almost instant and painful death.

We could combine these ideas together though. Use the Chakra drain to kill somebody, and then use their power to fuel a massive jutsu like the one you describe.

Like a giant scythe, invisaible to the naked eye and built for reaping. What you suggest reminds me of that one drill technique that kiba used during the Chunin exam arc. That combined with some sort of lightning/chidori move, fueled by dead people....

That'd be pretty fucking scary actually. I approve.

>>17173192
Thats one hell of an upper-cut.

>>17173242

>Chakra Vampire.
>Kiba's fang technique.
>Chidori
>Clones.
>Combine all of these into one Jutsu.

Annnnd now we have the signature technique for the Kage level. The fourth had that teleporting thing, the Raikage had the lightning shield, The first could use trees, this could be our thing.

A giant multi-pronged vampire lightning drill.

>>17173282

>Giant multi-pronged vampire lightning drill.

mygoditsfullofstars.jpeg

>Ninja Armada approach Konoha.

>Chakra spikes explode from the ground. Drilling into the enemy nin. They're strung up on hardened chakra that is fed upon their own chakra and circulates into Shingen.

>>17173424

Yeah.

That's awesome.

Between this and >>17173282

We're going to be absolutely horrifying.

I remember one anon said our goal should be to be like Hanzo aand/or the Fourth: Well respected, even liked, decent person.

And on the battlefield so fucking horrifying that the best advice to be offered on the topic of fighting us is "Run away, or kill yourself before they can".

>>17173424

Use stolen Chakra to >>17173282

Leave no survivors.

>>17173487
How about in politics? Are we polite and nice but viscious in our actions?

>>17173514

A lot of stuff about our personality seems to be based off classic vampires.

With a few exceptions, we see most people in terms of what they can offer us/our goals.

I can see us being polite and civil, but firm in our beliefs and values. Consistently polite and civil.

We're not going to throw the first punch, metaphorically speaking, but god help the motherfucker stupid enough to try and hit us.

Bat-like wings, either through experimenting with Jako's DNA to create a cursed-seal effect or hardened chakra wings.

Nananananana BAT-NINJA!

>>17173559

So like, we'll be fine letting people do what they want unless it affects us, but when it does, we lay down the law.

And god help anybody trying to go above our heads/beehind our backs.

So if we're going to the Dracula side, we need three brides. Momoji's a red head right? And Inari has black hair. All we need now is a blonde.

>>17173665

On the one had, Going the Harem route amuses me. The Hokage being a Hyuga Vampire Pimp is a fucking hilarious image. Shit, the Kage already have the wide-brimmed hat and the styling robes.

On the other hand, none of the Females thus far met/mentioned seem like the type to be cool with polygamy.

Is there even a precedent for something like this in the setting?

If, IF mind you, we can get these two to go along with it (unlikely as that seems, to the point where I'm hesitant to support it) we might not even WANT to go for three.

>>17173728

>The Hokage being a Hyuga Vampire Pimp is a fucking hilarious image. Shit, the Kage already have the wide-brimmed hat and the styling robes.

DRAWFAGS!

ASSSSEEEMBLLLE!

>>17173738

>Hyuga Vampire Pimp

And now I have the image of Shingen, dressed as the Hokage, on a throne, overlooking a small room filled with scantily clad women. Inari is rubbing his shoulders, Momoji's sprawled across his lap, and he is laughing his ass off.

It's beautiful.

>>17173749
He's laughing because the senbon pierced his laughing nerve.

I leave for a few hours and what happens? Jeez guys.

>>17164518
>>17164498
>>17164485

You all walk for a while before she leads you to a small cave mouth where you see many men and women of similar complexion as she gathered around on furs, sitting around either writing on scrolls, forging, or smoking from pipes. At the farthest back of the cave sits a massive man with a huge beard and symbols carved into his flesh. He drinks from a gourd and when Momoji comes close he rises, "Momo! Come here!" He said and as he stands you see he's even bigger and taller than Jako, hugging his little daughter close and smiling, "Who's the outsider?"

>>17173779
Give a polite bow."I am Hyuuga Shingen, sir. It is a pleasure to meet you sir."

>>17173779

Do not anger the giant ninja guy.

Be polite, respectful, and try to look as not intimidating as possible. Not cowering or anything, just very humble.

>>17173810
>>17173814

His nose twitches as he nods, "So you're the pale-eyes whose scent is all over my daughter." The man growls as he looks you over, "Ya don't seem so tough, stripling. Besides, you're just a boy." Momoji puts her hands on her hips, "Come on dad, he's a friend, be nice!" The big man growls, low rumble before patting Jako's shoulder, "Why not him? He's pretty strong looking!" The man said as Jako looked down, "Please move your hand." The big man laughed, raising his hands, "Alright alright, sorry tough guy." The man clapped his chest, "I am Kumamaru Fuyo, the Titan of the Earth. Welcome to my family's home. What brings you here, White Eyes?"

>>17173779

You cannot honestly tell me that the mental image conjured by >>17173749

Didn't at least make you chuckle.

>>17173831

"Your daughter's invitation. Well, that and I'm supposed to be a ambassador from the Hyuga to improve relations with other Clans."

>>17173851
>>17173814
>>17173810

Wait, is the Hyuga/Hyuuga spelled with one 'u' or two?

>mfw I might have been spelling it wrong the whole time.

>>17173837

I know I did.

I still am.

>>17173866

>mfw me too.

>>17173851
"Supposed to be? Why not just be?" he asked with another rumble in his chest before Momoji made a strange sneezing sound and he sat back down, "Anyway, Shingen-san, I offer you the full courtesy of my home."

>>17173866
>>17173876
In Japanese it's the U with the horizontal slash over it. The long "U" sound, so either way is acceptable.

Wait isn't Momoji's last name Zoroi or something? Why two different last names? Worth investigating.

>>17173893
"It is an honor to be accepted into your home, sir. If I may be so bold, may I ask how did you acquire the title of 'Titan of the Earth'? Are there other shinobi who are titans of other elements?"

>>17173893

Bow deeply.

>Supposed to be? Why not just be?

That is some zen shit bro. This guy is like an eight foot tall muscle-bound Yoda.

Also, I think now would be a good time to be diplomatic and shit, but I'm terrible at writing that sort of dialogue. Plus I have no idea how to handle this situation.

Wait, don't we have the ability to make a diplomacy check?

>That is some zen shit bro. This guy is like an eight foot tall muscle-bound Yoda.
>The Hokage being a Hyuga Vampire Pimp is a fucking hilarious image. Shit, the Kage already have the wide-brimmed hat and the styling robes.
>Shingen, dressed as the Hokage, on a throne, overlooking a small room filled with scantily clad women. Inari is rubbing his shoulders, Momoji's sprawled across his lap, and he is laughing his ass off.

Dammit guys. I can't stop laughing.

>>17173911
No, it just passively makes your words more powerful in setting. I take it into account, don't worry.

>>17173905
>>17173911
"There is only myself. Yet I am never alone. Perhaps once there were others, but now there is only me." He says slowly as he strokes his beard and puts his massive paw-like hand on Momoji's shoulder, "What do you seek to accomplish here?"

>>17173960

>"What do you seek to accomplish here?"

"As much as possible."

Two can play the irritatingly vague zen master.

>>17173960
"To create an alliance between the Hyuuga and your clan."

Don't we have an Earth chakra alignment as well as lightning? Perhaps training from the Titan of the Earth would be a good thing.

>>17173984

>Meet Zen character.
>Take it as an insult.

>>17173991

Nope.

All we got is lightning, as far as we know.

>>17173993
>>17173984

Somehow, I think he know we hate it. That's why he's doing it.

I think that he sees it as his right, since we're That Guy His Daughter Brought Home.

>>17173991
>>17173984

He laughs in a loud hoarse bark, "Oh, and what do we seek to benefit from joining with your clan of anemics?" He asks with an interested lean forward as he grins, "If you're what they send as an inspiration of the Hyuuga Clan's prowess I want none of it." he says with a chuckle as he leans back, "Daddy! What's wrong with you?" Momoji demands as he laughs.

>>17174033
"Perhaps a display of my abilities would change your mind, sir?"

>>17174033

"I'm not here as a show of force, if that's what your implying. I came, because I'm generally respected, and because your daughter invited me personally. In the land of fire, it's generally considered rude to show up ready for war to start diplomatic talks."

There's undoubtedly a better way to say that, re feel free to rephrase it as much as you want. That's just the message I want to get across.

>>17174054
>>17174060

He grins, almost as if he was waiting for that, starting to rise as Momoji gets between you, "No no! Daddy he didn't mean that, he meant just some kata, you know, training forms." She says and looks at you with implicit eyes, "Right. Shingen?" She says slowly and pointedly, making sure you understand."

>>17174060
He chuckles at those words and leans back in his chair, "I suppose. But in the Land of Earth we put our best foot forward."

>>17174079

He wants to fight?

Interesting.

>"No no! Daddy he didn't mean that, he meant just some kata, you know, training forms." She says and looks at you with implicit eyes, "Right. Shingen?" She says slowly and pointedly, making sure you understand.

Does she mean this like a friendly sparring match? Does that mean her dad was going to take it as an excuse for a fight to the death?

Huh.

"I suppose understanding cultural differences is the first step in diplomacy."

Also give the girl a slightly quirked eyebrow at the implication that we couldn't totally take this guy. Very slightly quirked.

>>17174079
"Momoji has sparred with me before. And she has said she's improved. I was hoping to train with her, as she had invited me when we met last. Perhaps a small sparring match between us, would show that we Hyuuga are not 'anemic' as you call us."

>>17174141

Because offering to beat up a woman will make us look OH SO MANLY.

Seriously. Think this shit through before you say it. Remember average land of Stone think puts women in the kitchen.

>>17174121
She looks daggers back at you, silently assuring you that you would die against this man. Kumamaru looks at you, "I suppose so. You're a queer little man, very strange. How old are you, stripling?" He asks as he leans forward on his knees and observes you, sniffing again.

>>17174141
"Not interested. My daughter is a powerful fighter, without question, but she is not even a middle shinobi in the Clan. She is young and novice." he says with a smile, "But I love her."

>>17174141
>>17174177

Yeah, let's rephrase this as more of a 'willing to spar should someone wish to test me' statement. If his daughter picks up on it and offers to do so, fine. Somebody else wants to jump us, so be it.

>>17174189

I'm actually not sure how old we are. Answer this question honestly.

>"Not interested. My daughter is a powerful fighter, without question, but she is not even a middle shinobi in the Clan. She is young and novice." he says with a smile, "But I love her."

Because hey, we didn't immediately say not to throw this out there because we knew we'd get this reaction or worse.

OH WAIT.

>>17174189

>silently assuring you that you would die against this man

Oh ye of little faith.

Quirk eyebrow slightly more, then look away.

>"Not interested. My daughter is a powerful fighter, without question, but she is not even a middle shinobi in the Clan. She is young and novice." he says with a smile, "But I love her."

Fuck me, we actually said something that stupid?

We are terrible diplomats.

>>17174235
>>17174217

Just because you're a good diplomat doesn't mean that you're instantly aware of all cultural outlooks. At all.

But if you're gonna be upset about it, I'll retract statement. I didn't see the post before I finished mine, so chill.

>>17174189

Am I the only one who thinks we should make some sort of joke about this preventing a diplomatic incident in the future involving the Stone ninjas looking like they're there to rape kill pillage and burn (In much more civil terms of course)?

Also:

>"Not interested. My daughter is a powerful fighter, without question, but she is not even a middle shinobi in the Clan. She is young and novice." he says with a smile, "But I love her."

Dammit, we knew better than to say something that dumb.

Oh well, I guess he could have taken it much worse.

>>17174189
"Hmm well how about this, I'm a stranger to you and your lands, and there's no better time to start learning than now. What say you to this? Pick a challenge you think suitable and I will attempt to complete it. Even should I fail perhaps you will enjoy the spectacle."

I fully expect he'll choose something he thinks is impossible or completely degrading. But he's being the protective papa and is going to look for every flaw he can see to try and belittle us. If we want him to respect us even a little we need to prove ourselves on his terms.

The Titan of the Earth doesn't seem to be your average Land of Stone member, and I'm sure Momoji would be insulted later on if we hadn't requested a match against her first. If Daddy doesn't want her hurt, he'll simply deny it.

>>17174256

Well she did flat out state this particular cultural outlook when we met.

Multiple times in fact. It's how I knew, coming into this with no prior knowledge of anything Naruto related.

>But if you're gonna be upset about it, I'll retract statement. I didn't see the post before I finished mine, so chill.

I'm not that angry personally. I've run quests, I've had exactly this happen: sudden negative opinion about a course of action I barely missed.

You'd be well in your rights to keep it that way IMO.

I'm just glad you didn't go immediately down the only logical road: Him trying to kill us immediately for threatening to beat up his daughter. Because that's exactly what would happen in the original Naruto Cannon.

>>17174273

This seems smart. He'll undoubtedly think we're half the man we are, and pick something 'impossible' for us to do.

Then when we do it, we go right in his good books.

>>17174308

>Because that's exactly what would happen in the original Naruto Cannon.

There are times when I'm glad we told the original canon to go fuck itself.

>>17174308
Yeah, because I want to emulate canon. Hahah, anyway, we'll just consider it a forgotten moment.

>>17174273
"Not interested. You aren't needed to prove yourself. I'm sure your Clan finds you to be a worthy son." The man said as he looked over at you, "Please, ask any questions you have on your mind, son."

>>17174342

>You aren't needed to prove yourself. I'm sure your Clan finds you to be a worthy son.

Immediately after insulting us and trying to start a fight. It is impossible to get a read on this guy.

Unless this is a roundabout way of insulting our clan.

>"Please, ask any questions you have on your mind, son."

Yeah, I got nothing personally. I thought we were just here to visit the girl, she's the one who wanted us to meet 'daddy'.

>>17173925

I am proud to say that both the Hyuga Vampire Pimp and the giant yoda were my comments. Can't take credit for the embellishment on the first.

Actually, that's an interesting question now that I think about it. OP, is there any sort of precedent for polygamy in the setting?

>>17174411

The implications of wanting us to meet her father are as vast as they are disturbing.

>>17174416
>We may be her first crush. We're definitely the first boy she brought home to see dad. We are also the exact opposite of what her dad thinks is a good match for her. We are also acting as a diplomat to a clan of girly men who don't have muscles and beards and junk. She didn't think this one through...

>>17174438

All that and more.

You'd think that the fact that Jako, despite being a huge-ass super berzerker, immediately bows and defers to us would be some sign to him that we're not somebody to be taken lightly.

Oh well.

>>17174460

I personally think that if he ever sees us in a fight, his attitude in that regard will do a complete 180.

Does anybody have anything to talk to this guy about? He doesn't seem to give two shits about us, our clan, or possible diplomatic relations, and we can't say we're only here for his daughter.

>>17174460
Nah even twelve year old ninjas can take out a huge mofo if he isn't very well trained. He probably doesn't think Jako is all that hot as far as ninja are concerned either. Also little guy with two hulking brutes as bodyguards is the most likely thing that comes to his mind when he sees us. He probably sees our companions as muscle to keep us from getting our ass kicked.

>>17174474

>we can't say we're only here for his daughter.

Not like that we can't.

At best he'll look like he thinks we mean to get in her pants and look at his daughter like 'fucking seriously?'

At worst, he will think that and kill us.

Our only hope is that his daughter drags us back out of this conversation, the same way she dragged us in, before it gets too awkward.

>>17174411
>>17174416
>>17174438
>>17174460

I too, can think of nothing to talk about.

>>17174411
I refuse to even dignify that last question as a response.

>>17174416
>>17174438
>>17174460

He nods, "Well, it's a pleasure to meet you son." he says and leans back, "Kalen." he calls, a taller and older looking woman approaching, "Show young Shingen to his mat." The man says as the older woman leads you towards a long stretch of fur and more fur atop it, a sleeping area. "We feast tonight and hunt in the morning." Her father says as Momoji looks at you with a soft apologetic shrug before going to sit down beside her father.

Jako settles down next to you and a random clansman starts piping up and talking to him. Honda cuts in and Jako remains stoic as ever. The situation reaches as head as the man says, "Hey! Aren't you from the Kakizuru Clan?" Jako's eyes widen as he turns to face the man and asks, "How do you know about us?" Momoji's clansman smiles and says, "Because some woman is wandering around looking for you. She says she's your sister."

>>17174342
"So who thought up the misdirection defense along the mountain path there? It's well made."

We should just go with the flow on this one. Kinda settle into a 'If I can deal with psycho's stabbing me curing a conversation I can deal with this guy' mindset. Just sort of relax and get to know him and his clan. We aren't on official business here so we don't really need to push for an alliance to hard. Just probe to see if it's possible at all and get to know Momo's family a bit.

>>17174478

Some part of me really wants to see someone pick a fight with Jako. Watching them realize how much more they bit off than they can chew would be hilarious.

Also, us stepping in to stop him would certainly earn us respect.

>>17174500
With a response*

>>17174500

>I refuse to even dignify that last question with a response.

I'm not saying I want to shoot far a Harem ending (not that you didn't ask for it, posting a quest thread on /tg/ with more than one potential love interest).

I'm honestly curious. This thought had never occurred to me.

>Jako settles down next to you and a random clansman starts piping up and talking to him. Honda cuts in and Jako remains stoic as ever. The situation reaches as head as the man says, "Hey! Aren't you from the Kakizuru Clan?" Jako's eyes widen as he turns to face the man and asks, "How do you know about us?" Momoji's clansman smiles and says, "Because some woman is wandering around looking for you. She says she's your sister."

Wait, did WE even know this much about Jako? This sounds like something worth investigating.

Also, now I have the horrible mental image of Jako's sister looking exactly like Jako, with little girly pig-tails.

>>17174500
Interesting. Is his sister still around? Maybe we should go find her and reunite the siblings.

>>17174528

>exactly like Jako, with little girly pig-tails

can't... can't unsee....

>>17174500
"Oh? I didn't realize you had siblings Jako. What's she like?"

Let's leave what he wants to do about this up to him. If he asks for our help we should, but it's best to not take the lead on this one.

>>17174574
>>17174531
>>17174528

There is no precedent in the canon.

Jako keeps quiet before speaking up, "She's like me. She's a drinker. She's a smoker and a champion of the Iron Brawl." He explained as the man raised his brows, "The bareknuckle wrestling matches to the far West? You've got to be kidding. Even Kotaru had his arm broken in that." Jako nodded. "She's a doozy."

>>17174673

Huh.

"Well, she's your family, it's your call. You want to go see her or something? We can do something else if you prefer."

>Read vampire comments.
>think it's awesome.
>By sheer coincidence, friend sends me a link to Hellsing abridged.
>Picture a drunken Shingen referring to himself as a fuck-mothering vampire.
>Can't stop laughing.

>>17174697
"I have no interest in seeing her." He said and the man winced, "That's not good. She said she would be here sometime." The man said and Jako nodded, "Then I'll see her."

Almost as if on cue a massive figure appeared at the door way. A tall womanly figure with short buns on the top of her head. She is wearing a long cloak and a tight jerkin and shorts which clamp around her knees. On her hands are massive gauntlets about the size of a small boulder. "Jako! There you are! You minced out on our last fight!" Her voice is loud and carries through the entire cave.

Momo looks up in awe at this mountain of a woman and her father even raises his brows, "Well well." he says, amused. Jako stands up and you can see they're perfectly eye to eye, though from a glance Jako appears the younger.

"Yes, Midori." he says and she puts her hands on her hips and laughs, "What's the matter, little Jako? Afraid of your big sister?" Jako shrugs, "Didn't want to fight." He said and the woman grins, "That's why you left the Clan? You didn't want to fight? And I find you here in some bear cave with..." She looks at you and Honda, "Some Land of Fire weaklings?" She grins and curls her fingers, "Come on Jako, I've got a beating to deliver to you."

>>17174716

"Interesting family you've got, Jako."

For now, watch. Step in only if things get out of hand.

>>17174716
"It's up to you, Jako, but please no fighting inside. That would be rude."

I would like to try out Shingen in a fight after our most recent upgrades, though.

>>17174755
>>17174743

I too would like to play with our new powers.

But this isn't our dance. Someone summed it up best earlier:

>We're not going to throw the first punch, metaphorically speaking, but god help the motherfucker stupid enough to try and hit us.

>>17174755
Wait. Us? Fight? That seems to be such a rare occurrence for what ever reason. We're in danger plenty, but we rarely seem inclined to throw a punch.

>>17174779

I think stat-wise we're reaching Shimaru levels of broken.

Or will, in the near future.

Yet we haven't actually fought anybody for a while now.

Actually, who was the last guy we fought? It was either with Mallard or the sparring match against the earth chick.

>>17174743
>>17174755

"Sure thing!" Midori says as she grabs her brother by the belt and collar and hurls him bodily outside the cave. He smashes through a rock and lays there, groaning as she jumps after him, her leg mutating at the knee down to turn into a massive flat hammer-like extension as she tries to stomp Jako.

Fortunately he covers up, his arms rapidly changing as a huge cloud of dust flares up all around the two of them, which is forcibly blasted away as Jako does a rolling hook and smashes into her face, which is covered in the same chitonous armor as Jako's is now.

Your friend grows a long set of jagged horns and she grows extensions on her forehead and the side of her head, like a hammerhead shark, and the two of them clash. Jako tries to gore her, and she smashes his head down into the ground. She pauses to shake her head, "Damn Jako, you're quite the hard head."

>>17174797

Visably wince at the bad joke/pun.

Continue to watch.

Make idle comment to Honda about how we should have started a betting pool.

>>17174797
Find a good vantage point outside and watch them closely with Byakugan. Let's see their systems in action and see if we can glean any info from watching this fight. Like if there's any differences between them with chakra sight up we should note them for future reference. We should also be prepared to stop either or both of them if they go on a rampage.

>>17174823
>>17174822

Combine these.

What can we really do but watch at this point?

>>17174834
Agreed to combine those two.

And yeah, be ready to knock out Jako if he goes berserk.

>>17174850
>>17174834
In fact, can we start accumulating grit now? Like mentally make ourselves a part of the battle so we have the nerve/grit necessary to use our more expensive techniques should we have to?

>>17174850

Well, he's already berserk to a degree. i think if it looks like collateral damage is going to happen we should step in.

>>17174865
We made a promise after all. Appearances be damned, if we actually make a promise we'll keep it, and if the stone guys or his sister don't like it they can just deal. A man doesn't go back on his word to a comrade.

>>17174834
>>17174823

You turn your Byakugan and see something rather disturbing. Midori has some of the most intense chakra you've ever seen. Her pool mustn't be that much bigger than her brother's, but it's focus is amazing. Burning white hot like a star as she mutates.

Jako shifts his arms into claws with pistons and grabs her knees, slamming them just a second too late as she saves her body by turning them into spiked pads. Grabbing her brother's face she swings the other knee up under his jaw and then picks him up. Jako tries to mutate into something heavy as she sprouts a massive set of leathery wings and jumps high into the air, not capable of flight, but when she does flap her wings it takes them at least fifty feet up in the air. Wrapping her arms around Jako in a full nelson she turns her legs into chakra-jets and blasts forwards into the ground, Jako's head aiming straight for the rock.

You hear the gasp of everyone from the cave watching as Jako's chakra dims and then he roars, his signature exploding all around him as he grabs her by the neck and rolls in mid-air, transforming his back into a hard turtle-shell and smashing her into the ground like a sandwich, causing her to gasp in pain.

He clambers up off her and mutates both hands together into a massive hammer and pounds her stomach again and again before she catches him, this time with a blade to his neck and pins him to the ground, her other hand a long rapier-like shiv. "Give up, kid brother!"

>>17174949
Get ready to intervene if Jako can't regain control of himself, but otherwise we shouldn't interfere.
It's his fight, not ours.

>>17174973
Agreed. Interesting to note that she has that intense chakra and can control herself while transformed it seems.

>>17174973

Jako roars out, "I won't, Midori! I won't!" He says and his elbows grow huge and club-like as he smashes them backwards, falling back into the ground and rolling, kicking her under the jaw as he does so, the blow dazing Midori surprisingly.

"Still got a glass jaw!?" He roars out in challenge. As he says so his right arm becomes thinner and more precise, and you see that at his shoulder is the majority of his biomass as he calls out, "Shingen! This is what I've learned! To win, you must strike, at the heart!" He smashes two fingers into her chest and all of that biomass slams forward into her chest, right between her breasts and causes her to spit up blood as she rockets at least fifteen feet away and smashes into a thick wall of stone. She groans in pain as her mutations fade away and she swoons on the spot before collapsing face to her knees. She's out cold.

Jako roars a bloody war cry of victory, his arms becoming huge axe blades before he sees you and shakes, his teeth grinding so hard you see his gums bleeding before he drops his mutation and passes out too.

(Jako loses his 1 point of Nindo, blowing it to restrain his berserker rage for you.)

>>17174949

"Goddammit he's losing control..."

Get ready to intervene. I don't think he's got a handle on his power.

I think somebody about to die.

rolled 10, 9, 7, 6, 9, 3, 10 = 54

>>17175002
>Jako loses his 1 point of Nindo, blowing it to restrain his berserker rage for you.
Holy shit.

We should increase our Medical Knowledge, so that we can more easily bring Jako back under control when he loses it.

Also, rolling for Medical Knowledge to heal up both Jako and his sister.

Rank 4 + Medical Knowledge 3

rolled 2, 10, 4, 3, 10, 10, 6, 5 = 50

>>17175002
Give him a son I am proud smile. "You've learned well!" Check his sister in case she needs medical attention. Rollin med knowledge to see what needs to be done if her regen can't handle it.

>>17175002

Get to work healing them.

When she regains consciousness comment on how we were amazed he manged to restrain himself.

Seeing as how that's the first time he's 'hulked out (replace with whatever term makes sense in canon)' that didn't end with him going on a genocidal rampage or us having to seal his chakra system.

>>17175022
Good luck for you that outside of combat you don't need to roll unless the situation is dire. Here is just routine healing.

You patch up Jako and Midori, though they both did quite a number on each other. The wounds look like someone was hit by an avalanche, rather than by another human. Regardless, you get them all repaired and with a slow groan Midori comes to. "Jako...where's my baby brother?" She asks as Jako sits straight up and she hugs him, "Jeez big guy, you nearly killed me there."

He glows at your praise in typical Jako fashion, straight faced and emotionless, but you can see the pride in his eyes as he stands up and pats your shoulder, "Thank you Shingen."

>>17175022
>>17175029
>>17175030

Yeah, all of these.

Explain to his sister that the reason he travels with us is because we're the only person who can actually stop him when he flips out like that.

Before us, he just kept killing until he ran out of things to kill apparently.

>>17175035
"Any time, Jako. Any time."

>>17175042
Shouldn't that be something that Jako tells his sister himself, though?

>>17175042
Actually invite her to catch up with Jako and share our table as it were. Then we can ask her about how she retains control so well and about that intense chakra. Make sure we don't look like we're ignoring Momoji though. She'd get pissed if we spent to much time talking to this woman when we came all this way to see her.

>>17175035

"Lucky for you he got a handle on it. Usually he just keeps going until I seal his chakra system, and I'm not sure I could have intervened in time."

Continue fussing over her wounds while saying this.

>>17175045
>>17175042

Honda shakes his head in awe at what he saw as he speaks up, "Jako, that was amazing." Your chances at conversation were cut short as the rest of Momoji's clan sprints down the cliff-face to congratulate Jako and cheer him on. Even Kumamaru walks down, standing a head above the two giants and about twice as broad as he pats their shoulders with a grin, "Well done both of you. You are amazing combatants and do us all proud. Midori, you are a beautiful and strong warrior, I am honored to be in your presence.

>>17175054
Midori nods with a soft smile, "Yes, I would appreciate that. I don't get to see my little brother much outside the field of battle." She says and when you ask she rubs her jaw, "Well...most people in our clan cannot even control their mutation. It just happens under duress. Jako and I are the only ones who can, and Jako can only do it when he's in one of his furies. I can do it....because I just can." She says and shrugs, "I don't know."

Momoji is sure to be close at hand and says, "Wow, that's something else. You guys are just incredible warriors, I'm impressed."

>>17175035
>10s. 10s everywhere.

Yeah good thing we don't need to roll. Seriously.

Speaking of Nindo though, we decided what ours was in a prior thread right? I couldn't find it on the character sheet.

>>17175050

Maybe. I'm thinking she doesn't understand why he doesn't like fighting though.

Maybe if she knew he had no control over his abilities prior to this, she'd understand.

>>17175054

Sounds good. If anybody could teach him to control it, it's her. Also agree to not angering Momoji. Even if nothing romantic happens, we're friends.

We're being overshadowed by our own lacky/friend.

We should act somewhat unsure about the situation, but supporting.

>>17175082
Nah, when it comes to friends Shingen doesn't need to be self conscious. Jako's just a better fit in this environment. We should be proud that it was directly because of our influence that he managed that win. We should let him have his moment, the guys reserved enough that he rarely gets them.

"Well shall we return? You two have much to talk about I'm sure, and perhaps you've worked up an appetite from you bout."

>>17175112
>>17175082

Jako doesn't respond, but you see he's confused about how to act about this, so he nods, "Thank you." Everyone from the Land of Earth laughs at his modesty as Momoji grabs your wrist and says, "No, you said you were going to talk to me, over there, remember?" She says, pointing at an open clearing away from everyone else. Honda nods, "Right, you did say that Shingen, can't let a lady down." he said and patted Jako on the back, "Man, you gotta teach me those moves!" He says as Jako nods, "They're not very hard." Midori laughs, "Yeah, if they were Jako-kun wouldn't be using them."

>>17175121
"Ah how careless of me. I'll catch up later. Enjoy yourselves. Shall we, madam?"

Kind of playfully ham it up at the end there.

>>17175121

Wait, did we actually say something like that?

Or is this Honda trying to play matchmaker?

Either way, we aren't in the awkward situation anymore. That's a plus.

>>17175121

I'm forced to wonder if she even cares how Inari's "death" effected us. She bowed out of a potential relationship before based solely on her existence, and she seems WAY too fucking cheerful that shes gone.

I mean, she acts nice and all, she seems friendly, but she's kind of a bitch.

We aren't saying any of this, but I think we might be a little weirded out. We could confront her about it if she asks what's bothering us, but just let it slide for now.

>>17175147
>>17175163

And so we transition straight from one awkward situation to another.

>>17175147
>>17175163

She leads you over to the area where she designated as she looks at you and says, "She's still alive. The other woman. You wouldn't be so alright if that were the case." She says as she shrugs, "Why'd you lie to me?"

>>17175168
Sometimes I miss Shimaru. He was such an uncomplicated character.

>>17175147
It was her attempt to get us away from her father who will be drawn to Jako and his sister. Honda went along with it to play matchmaker yes.

We haven't properly talked about the situation regarding Inari yet. Momoji doesn't seem like the type that's good at getting her emotions across. She has cheerful or pissed off as acceptable emotions to show. She's unsure about showing any others though because she wants to be acknowledged as a strong shinobi and is afraid of being too feminine for her clans standards of strong. /my theory on the subject

>>17175177

"For various reasons. Mostly because it's better for people to think she's gone at the moment. She put a lot of effort into faking her death, I'd rather not be the one to spoil her game. To be honest, I was wondering why you never commented on the possibility of her death, seeing as how you're the only person who even knew about her."

Deep sigh. "I would have preferred not to lie, and honestly it seems it doesn't matter anyway. For what it's worth I'm sorry I tried to deceive you."

>>17175186
Second.
Also seems that we underestimated Momoji's deductive abilities.

>>17175186
>>17175191

"I see." She paused and rubbed her upper arm, "So, you still really care about her? Sorry for dragging you out here, then." She said and shrugged, "Well, at least Daddy will be happy."

>>17175186

This seems like the only real reponse to put out.

>>17175181

Me too. Then again, he was so uncomplicated his solution to everything was to hit it with his sword.

Up to and including a walking, breathing god who was capable of fighting all the Kage alone.

>>17175184

Makes sense.

>>17175194

"Caring about her doesn't mean I don't give a damn about you. She has problems, I'm trying to help her. She seems to have feelings for me, and most of her problems are my fault. Of course i care about her."

Point finger, almost accusingly. "You're a good person. You're nice to people, and you choose to bow out gracefully to try and complicating my life further. You actually give a damn about what I want, which is more than I can say for most people I know. I trusted you with one of my biggest secrets. I care about you. I also own you dinner, but this doesn't seem the time to worry about that."

>>17175215

>try and AVOID complicating

fusking typos.

>>17175215
Momoji seems like someone who beats around the bush when things get complicated, so this is probably the best thing to say. Throw it all out there and force her to acknowledge that Inari isn't the only female that Shingen recognizes. Maybe now she'll get all aflutter and open up some more.

Pic related. This should be what Momoji is doing after that line.

>>17175194
>>17175215
>>17175223

"And don't apologize for dragging me out here. I told you I would come visit, and I left you hanging long enough. Besides, between your father and my pride getting me lost in the mountains for two damned weeks, I've provided my friends with enough ribbing material to last them a life-time. And I got to see you, so the trip isn't a total waste."

>>17175223
>>17175215
Seconding, though I think we should avoid the accusing finger. Maybe a hand on her should instead.

>>17175215

>I also own you dinner, but this doesn't seem the time to worry about that.
>between your father and my pride getting me lost in the mountains for two damned weeks, I've provided my friends with enough ribbing material to last them a life-time.

I enjoy the fact that Shingen, who's all about posturing, gaining political advantage, and lieing, is completely open and self depreciating only around potential love interests.

>Hi, I'm Shingen. Don't be intimidated by my awesome, it's just for show. Buy you a drink?

>>17175215
To attempt to lighten the air a little bit afterwards:

"Besides, its hard to return her affections with a senbon sticking out of my spleen."

>>17175197
>Up to and including a walking, breathing god who was capable of fighting all the Kage alone.
You know, it's funny. Shimaru started out, and more or less remained, a consummate professional. We meticulously prepared and planned for our first mission, and took advantage of changes in the mission, rather than panicking and barging in.
It just so happened that as time went on, and he became more and more broken (in terms of mechanics), that the best plans did eventually turn into him just destroying everything in his path and cutting people in half.

>>17175252
Shingen is a far more sarcastic individual than Shimaru, so it's nice for him to exercise his self-deprecation muscle once in a while. It probably helps keep him sane.

>>17175242

I like the accusing finger. It might be bad if it wasn't for the fact that we're basically saying "You're awesome, stop acting like you aren't."

>>17175252

>Hi, I'm Shingen. Don't be intimidated by my awesome, it's just for show. Buy you a drink?

Hyuga Shingen: Ladies man.

>>17175252
Because alliances can be built on lies and false trust, but living everyday of your life surrounded by a lie is something he's had his goddamned fill of from his clan's pecking order bullshit.

>>17175259
Well, a consummate professional and operator who operates.

>>17175215
>>17175240

She flushes red and stutters, "That's...that's not the point!" She says and when you point at her she walks up and gives you a big bear hug, "Just shut up and enjoy it. Fine, I forgive you, you white-eyed pain in my ass." She says and sighs contentedly, hiding her face in your neck so you can't see it, but you can feel her cheeks and how warm they are. She punches you in the ribs, quite hard, "Get your shit settled, so I can fall in love with you safely." She whispered, very very softly into your ear before pushing you back and putting her hands behind her head, "Come on, let's go celebrate Jako's success."

Given his constant posturing, plotting, and maneuvering, it's nice to see the snark. It's a surprisingly human thing for him, given that he seems to keep even his friends at arms length.

Christ, look at his family: The Hyuga clan is made up entirely of backstabbing bastards jockeying for position and courtly intrigue. It's like growing up in a nest of Vipers.

These conversations with Inari and Momoji are probably the only times he's been open and honest in his entire life.

>These conversations with Inari and Momoji are probably the only times he's been open and honest in his entire life.

That makes perfect sense, and manages to be both endearing and highly depressing at the same time.

Suddenly the fact that there was a chorus of people screaming for blood when Inari 'died' makes perfect sense. He might very well have turned around, walked right back into the compound and tried to kill Madara on the spot.

If Inari knew that, then her appearance makes sense too. she knew EXACTLY how Shingen might react at needed to tell him right away before he got himself killed.

Suddenly everything about this character is snapping into perspective.

>>17175288

"I forgive you..." Say it like you're confused by the words for a moment, almost like we've never heard them before.

"Huh. That's probably the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me."

>>17175323

Followed quickly by "And suddenly my entire life snaps into perspective."

>>17175323
To be fair our dad and bro seem to care for us a lot and have done right by us. The rest of the houses/family though? Fuck them.

>>17175265

>Hyuga Shingen: Ladies man.
>Shimaru Yamada: Tactical Genius.

I think, in some way, both characters were aware of the irony.

She laughs, "You're a weird little man." She says and as she has her arms like that you can see her muscles and how utterly strong she has to be compared to you. "Tell me about your life, Shingen. I think Jako has enough attention." She says and sits down crossed legged with her hands on her knees as she looks up at you, eyes curious.

>>17175345

Maybe.

I'm kinda curious how Momoji's going to react when she hears that, and realizes we aren't joking.

>>17175355
"..."
give a soft smile and remove our head wrap/band. Point to the cursed seal.

"Well to talk about my life I have to talk about this. It's our clans way of protecting the byakugan. It's also my leash. If I offend any one of higher social standing than myself and they know the commands to my seals, they can put me in my place with some pain or kill me if it was sever enough. Our clan has a system of branch families, with the main house and then descending numbers of families with each higher number being closer to the main house in power. I'm from the eighth house..."

And go on from there about what we've done so far.

>>17175355

"Well, I'm Hyuga. That might not mean much here in the land of Stone, but it basically means I have a powerful Kekkei Genkai eye jutsu, and had to learn the fine art of political maneuvering shortly after birth to avoid being murdered in my crib by someone moving for political advantage in the clan." Deep breath. "After completing basic training I discovered that the various clans got on about as well as a bunch of Hyugas with no clear line of sucession, I started to see that the entire ninja world is constantly on the brink of open-warfare. I, there and then, decided to do something about it."

Hold out hand, ticking the events off on fingers. "So far, I've caused permanent psychological damage to, who was at the time, the only woman I ever had feelings for. Also got her thrown out of her clan, and hunted as a fugitive. Made friends wi9th one caln, met a super-powerful beserker who can barely restrain his powers, saved the life of somebody I was supposed to be at war with, and rose to a position of significant power in my own clan, simultaneously painting a giant target on my back for everybody wanting to climb higher."

Look at her, poker face as hard as possible. "So, mixed results. But tell me about yourself, I don't actually know that much about you, and that hardly seems fair."

>>17175355
Should we tell her the ins and outs of Hyuuga-clan bullshit? Show her the seal on Shingen's forehead?

"You see this shit?" Shingen complains, pointing at the seal upon his forehead. "YOU SEE THIS SHIT? THIS IS SOME BULLSHIT IS WHAT THIS SHIT IS."

Life through the eyes of Hyuga Shingen.

I can't stop laughing at his summary of things.

>Well, I was born into a fucked up family built around in-fighting, set some vague goals, and then fucked everything up. You?

>>17175409
Shingen's no professional like Shimaru, but just like Shimaru, he's "an honest man."

Also, autosage in full effect.

I don't she really knew what she was asking when she wanted us to tell us about ourselves.

>>17175423
>>17175418
Fucking, alright, let me get the next thread going sometime soon.

>>17175423
Hell I don't think -We- knew what she was getting into either. Shingen just kind of laid it all out there didn't he?

>>17175496

She asked.

It's hardly our fault that our life can be summed up as "I was born, and then things sucked a lot."
