You are Naruto Uzumaki, born without any blessings and with the ever present stigma of your dead father's shame.

Previously:
After a thorough week of inspired training courtesy of Might Gai, you mastered one of the most basic of jutsus, Bunshin no Jutsu, and passed your ninja exam after trying for the third year in a row.
Though just by the skin of your teeth, still coming in dead last.

After training to the point of collapse, you met a mysterious stranger in the form of a girl with pure white eyes like Neji, one of your many nemesis.
Though she was kind, she passed out after coming into contact with you. After her impromptu sleep, you make a declaration to the world, “To be stronger than god!”

Your rest that night had been interrupted however by goings on in the village, giving you cause to spring into action!
You found out that the Hokage's grandson had snatched a scroll and taken it outside of the village. While you had plotted to take it for yourself, you took the high road and saved the kid after a turncoat sensei maimed him.

Today you were invited to visit by Ino Yamanaka and received a job offer from her father after being assigned your squad.

You also met the mysterious stranger in a park and the two of you exchanged apologies. You never got her name.

Sakura Haruna and Sasuke Uchiha. You don't know how you're going to live with these two watching your back.

You've shown up late but on time by your sensei's clock! On the way to the final final test, you bump into a nice stranger by the name of Kabuto!

You are Naruto Uzumaki and this is your story.

My numbers are all fucked up.

Well, that said I'm writing. Sorry for being late.

When do we get to kiss Sakurai?

Because I want to kiss Sakurai.

Eh, it happens. Don't worry bout it.

Don't worry 'bout it, OP.

I'm just looking forward to telling Sasuke off for bein such a bitch. And, in the process of doing so, make him our most trusted minion...for now.
>>
>>31836918
Silly anon, that's Samurai, inventor of famous games such as Kirby Pinball Land and Sony All-Stars Battle. I mean that Naruto character that Naruto is in love with. Or will be when we are through with him.

Cmon Dran, you already edged oast new boundaries with the trapfuckin setup in Overhuman Quest, be brave enough to go full /y/. That will certainly get you talked about.

> Genjutsu release unlocked at 3.
What does that even mean?
>>
>>31836890
>Sakurai.
nigga you best not mean sakura

Hinata is our one and only.
>>
>>31836978
Not sure, but it sounds lewd.
>>
>>31836979
Dear lord can we not start this before the OP is finished?
>>
>>31836978
The ability to forcibly release a genjutsu you've been caught in.
>>
>>31836977
You mean sasuke?

Sasuke a shit

Our naruto doesn't give two shits about him

And no, we're not gay.
>>
>>31837013
You might want to just say that in the pastebin, then, because you get misconceptions like >>31837039 with the current wording.
>>
>>31836979
I think you mean Shikamaru.
>>
>>31837063
>Is that really so wrong?
Yep
>>
>>31837061
I really don't want to change it because that's literally what it's called in canon. Genjutsu Release.
>>
>>31837063
yes
>>
>>31837078
Nope.
>>
>>31837083
>>31837095
Well too bad. We are playing a teen heart-throb neer-do-well. We have to be a little wrong to get the female audience. And there is nothing that gets the ladybucks like a little boys love.
>>
>>31837094
Then add a clarification.

> Genjutsu release unlocked at 3. (can forcibly dispel an enemy genjutsu)
>>
>>31837083
>>31837095
Guys. Responding. Why are you doing that?
>>
>>31837063
Sasuke's awful as a romantic interest. If you're so dead set on kissing dudes, wait until we have some better options available. We'll be meeting Haku soon enough, he's the prettiest boy ever. You just have to hold out for the Wave mission. Then you can kiss all the boys you want.
>>
>>31836820
so is the archive broken for anyone else
>>
>>31836979
>>31837078
I think he meant Inuyasha. Or maybe Krillin. Krillin is a Naruto, right? He wears orange and has funny symbols on his head, that's gotta count for something.
>>
>>31837133
Nah, foolz is down man
>>
>>31837109
>We are playing a teen heart-throb neer-do-well
No we aren't

Go back to the qtg
>>
>>31837130
Haku sounds alright. I'd root for Shikamaru first though, you can't say he wouldn't be a hell of a romantic partner. Lazy as fuck, but man, he comes through for you when it counts.
>>
>>31837133
Yeah, foolz isn't working for me either.

This is why I told Dran to include links to suptg archives too in there instead of just foolz links.
>>
>>31836820
Yo man. Getting home at vampire hours I see. Good to be here.
>>
>>31837130
>>31837159
Actually I think he got it right the first time. Sakurai a qt.
>>
>>31837158
If you've got such a problem, why are you on /totally gay/?
>>
>>31837109
You're one of those anons from the QTG who's only here to make the protag gay to troll the quest huh?
>>
>>31837149
thanks for the info guess I need to wait to read the theads then
>>
>>31837159
Eh, you can go for whatever pairing you want. I'm just saying, if anyone's going to get Naruto interested in boys, it's going to be Haku. I don't think anyone's going to call it out of character if we go gay after meeting him.
>>
>>31837196
I heard he was already headed in that direction so the quest piqued my interest.

I know literally nothing about Naruto, though.
>>
>>31837196
I legitimately have no idea what QTG is, I'm just bored of the usual options.

>>31837214
You know, that's a damn fine point. There's a good chance of him dying though.
>>
>>31836820
>>
>>31837216
sorry, but quest is headed in direction of either this one...
>>
The proving grounds. Where ninja young and old come to practice and refine techniques in this tranquil area fit with stones for smashing, water for chakra training, trees and brush for practicing stealth. It's here that you have gathered with your team under the morning sun, an indeterminate amount of time until noon.

Your sensei, Kakashi stands alone in an open meadow of cut short grass, seemingly relaxed and at ease as the wind sends ripples through the grass and catches his disheveled hair.

His eyes flicker around his own setting, seeming to identify and note where each one of you are.

Sasuke's relocated himself to a spot within a tree, Sakura to a place beneath the bushes, and you, yourself have decided to take position to sensei's rear in a bush.

Sasuke blew off your attempt at making nice with teamwork. Rather than give him a much deserved punch in the face, you withdrew and decided to rethink your approach to this.
Despite his unwillingness, you figure that Sasuke is smart enough to take advantage of an opening if he happens to see one.

Sakura might jump in if you call her or something, but there's no telling that she'll do it for sure.

You've got some kunai and shuriken in your ninja supply strapped to your leg.

Henge no jutsu, bunshin no jutsu... How are you going to get those bells that dangle at his waistband?

>[] Rush head on as a distraction. At the very least you'll tie his hands up.
>[] Wait and watch for one of the others to make their move. Transform into them to fake a clone jutsu.
>[] Get to Sakura and talk to her about this.

>>
>>31837214
I don't think anyone would call it gay if we went for him. Period.

Do you know how long it took me to figure out Haku was a guy?

The one where it's vaguely headed in that direction is Over(Human) Limit or whatever.

Now shoo.

She's our best bet of working together, and seems less ditzyish than in canon. A little, at least.

Make sure to let her be the one to figure it out.

Also let's see if Sasuke can make the first move if we don't do something first.

Send a clone to distract and attempt to kunai the bells.

Huh, someone was quick to misarchive this.
Yeah, reasons that I need to use foolz on this one.

Go find Sasuke again. "You idiot, the answer is teamwork. There's no elimination. I did some fact-checking. The bell test is a common day-one thing."
>>
>>31837248
>[] Get to Sakura and talk to her about this.
Swallow our spite and play nice. At the very least trying to work with her will let us get in some good quips when Kakashi pulls the "those who abandon their comrades are lower than trash" line.

Tell her we're gonna jump in looking like Sasuke, with a clone of us running alongside.
>>
>>31837326
By fake a clone jutsu, I meant henge into them and pretend to be a fake. aka, he's likely going to ignore clones.

>>31837328
Heyyy, that's a good one.
>>
>>31837328
That reminds me of something I've been meaning to ask: Is our transformation technique corporeal or just an illusion? Canon Naruto seems able to do actual physical transformations, but the only other people we see do that are either extremely skilled or using clan-specific techniques. So you could make an argument for it being something the fox gives him like, I don't know, having a creature of corporeal chakra living inside you makes it easier to shape your own chakra into solid things, or something like that. It would explain how he somehow managed to master shadow clones so easily, too. So can we do genuine transformation or does it just look like we can?
>>
>>31837248
>[x] Get to Sakura and talk to her about this.

surely she will listen to reason and not her feminie aspiration of asexual emo phantom cock
>>
>>31837248
>[x] Get to Sakura and talk to her about this.

We need to make a plan.
>>
>>31837328
This works
>>
>>31837410
Ninja magic. At your current rank it, dispels on hit. but yes, it's a physical transformation.

>>31837433
Seriously, stop with the character hate. She's not even totally crushing over him right now.
>>
>>31837410
We got illusion clones if Kakashi stops being a dick ass and teach shit we might be able to learn it from him.
I understand naruto and them basically got diffrent sensais with jiraya and tsunade there was still a lot of shit he could teach them
>>
>>31837410
Transformation seems to be physical but clones are illusions.

Still don't know how the fuck clones don't got shadows.
>>
>>31837410
Transformation is and always has been a completely corporeal jutsu.
>>
>>31837248
>[] Get to Sakura and talk to her about this.
>>
>>31837458
Oh but she will be crushing on sasuke. Once sasuke saves her life, she be all over him.

Or at least have some sense of love for him.
>>31837498
What a shame it not used as much. Just Transform into a bird or shit and fly.
>>
>>31837248
>Other

Walk right up to Kakashi, look him right in the eye, and say, "You, sir, are full of the highest grade of goat manure I have ever seen." Then talk about what we heard from Kabuto, and then point out that neither of our teammates were willing to consider working together, so the test is obviously a failure.
>>
>>31837508
>Just Transform into a bird or shit and fly.

http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Transformation_Technique

That'd actually be pretty hard.
>>
>>31837521
No you retard.

He just then send us back to the academy because we didn't show him "Teamwork".
>>
>>31837293
Well we can't be blatant about it like you fuckers were with Sasuke.
>>
>>31837527
That was actually one of the ideas I was having that lead me to ask. We probably couldn't get the kinematics down right to properly fly, but some similar applications should work. I'm thinking of how during the fight with Zabuza he turned into a shuriken and had Sasuke throw him. And in the games he often has a similar move as a travel power. Being able to transform into an aerodynamic form during jumps for added distance and speed could be a cool jutsu to develop.
>>
>>31837527
Naruto became a NINJA STAR.

METAL.

I think become a bird and flying seem to be easier than being a GIANT NINJA STAR or a puddle of water.
>>
>>31837216
>>31837225
Try Roleplaying sometime, it's what this board is all about.
>>
>>31837458
just being pessimistic baby
>>
>>31837572
>Try Roleplaying sometime
Thats kinda what they were using this thread to do.
>>
>>31837508
It's better not to transplant hate from the anime into quest decisions, is all we're saying.
It kinda ruins the whole 'from a new prospective' thing if you drag in that stuff.
>>
>>31837572
>roleplaying
>must be straight
Uh-huh.

>>31837580
Eh, give her a chance. If she fucks up, then we can start hating.
>>
>>31837521
I can dig this.
>>
>>31837561
You know what a complex machine is vs a simple machine?

A bird is a terribly complex machine while a ninja star is literally a slab of metal.
>>
>>31837521
No.
>>
>>31837593
Seems a bit too much like giving up.

Let's give this a go, and then rant at him if we fail.
>>
>>31837584
Uh, I'm a different anon. I'm just saying that Sakura might keep her feeling of Sasuke, at least not at the levels she had during the academy. It gonna take time for her to not feel like that to sasuke after all these years.
>>
>>31837600
Also, did he actually become a shuriken, or just form a shell of solid chakra around him in the shape of one? I think it's the second. Which means we could still glide and such, but actual flight would be beyond us for the same reason humans can't fly just by strapping wings to their arms. Though if we developed some strength techniques, maybe some wind to help us shape the air flow...then it might work.
>>
>>31837561
he looked like metal.
>>
>>31837616
Oh, sorry. I didn't notice.
>>
>>31837637
anonymous anon.

The beauty and the beast of 4chan.
>>
>>31837583
They're imserting gay onto a character that is showing no inclinations of being gay. That is not Roleplaying.

>>31837592
Our current character is straight. See his Hedge no Jutsu and his comments aobut how fun studying for it was.
>>
>>31837604
It's more just, "Look, they don't wanna work together, so if you don't have anything better for me to do then today is core day. Or even better, I need some practice with my ninjutsu you might be able to help with." Then we can either start training or not, depending on how he reacts.
>>
>>31837657
>They're imserting gay onto a character that is showing no inclinations of being gay.
Sorta like what Dran did with the angst.
>Our current character is straight.
So you have decided. He could just be young and confused.
>>
>>31837657
Pretty fucking much.
>>
>>31837624
Does that mean he maintains he current weight?

>>31837657
Oh, jesus, it's you again.
>>
>>31837675
That's more of a last resort man.

I bet we could get Sakura on our side. She was already feeling guilty earlier today.
>>
>>31837675
Alright, I can see that approach, but we were given a mission to fulfill, and that seems like a damn good way to get failed.
>>
Don't try to grasp ninja magic guys.

Also, Naruto is straight.
>>
>>31837676
>>They're imserting gay onto a character that is showing no inclinations of being gay.
>Sorta like what Dran did with the angst.
Our character has a reason to be angry
>>Our current character is straight.
>So you have decided. He could just be young and confused.
Then all you have is speculation and nothing to actually show he may be attracted to guys in anyway.

I'm done arguing with you, go back to the QTG.
>>
>>31837681
That not one anon.

It many.
>>31837675
If we give up, and we don't want to work together, it MISSION FAILED.

Then we go back to the academy and spend a whole fucking year.

Then died to the invasion like a chump.
>>
>>31837708
Yay
and yay.

Doubt it will stop the trolls tho. People won't stop feeding em.

Thank god for 4chanX
>>
>>31837708
This solved the issue. Thank you Dranule. Now they stop the bitching and whining that naruto is gay.
>>31837731
True, the troll would keep going but since the GM put the law of his word down, no one will give a shit about them.
>>
>>31837708
Really? Damn shame. I was looking forward to something a bit different. Well, thanks for at least telling us now, saves a lot of irritation. Kinda wish you mentioned it before, but whatever.
>>
>>31837657
Much fun as I have playing gay characters and seeing gay relationships develop, I have to agree with this anon. In no canon, including this one, is Naruto showing any homosexual tendencies. Falling for a trap like Haku is a big maybe, but even that probably won't pan out.
>>
>>31837700
The objective is work together. We can only do so much of that ourselves. We're playing Ruthless Naruto, I believe, so this would the option I see for it. However, I do agree that we should talk to sakura first. If she brushes us off, screw the test. We need to work on our core.
>>
>>31837708
Thank you.

You just saved arguing and shitstorms.
>>
>>31837774
Except for his hilariously obsessive pursuit of Sasuke.

But yeah. On the other hand, can't blame them for hoping, given how easy it is to change minor details like that.
>>
>>31837675
I like this.

Use it if we can't get Sakura to work with us.
>>
>>31837800
That, I can see.
>>
>>31837774
>Sasuke
>>
>>31837774
Hopefully we'll at least get a perception check. Though it would probably be without a stated DC. That way, no matter what we roll, we won't know if we guessed Haku's gender right. I wouldn't put it past Dran to have Haku be genuinely female just to mess with our heads when we realize we lost a potential waifu.
>>
>>31837810
>minor details
wut?
>>
I want to go for Anko.
>>
>>31837800
Naruto isn't ruthless. If he was, naruto would have left the grandson to die to keep the scroll from enemies hands. Naruto also pretty nice and polite guy.

He isn't ruthless per say but isn't also a retard either.
>>
>>31837848
I don't want romance to have anything to do with player voting at all, and just happen naturally.

Saves time.
>>
>>31837848
I want to set Anko up with Kakashi
>>
>>31837829
>implying we're going for anyone other than Hinata
>>
>>31837848
She's got like 15 years on us dude.
>>
>>31837854
>Not ruthless
Well, that was originally the intent of some anons. But the character we've played so far is:
>Misunderstood
>Bottled up years of bullying anger, finally letting it out in (mostly) inappropriate ways
>But deep down doesn't wish harm on others, unless they give him cause to. Not heartless as he tries to seem.

Based on decisions so far, that is.
>>
>>31837829
Haku is a missing nin anon. It hopeless. Actually hopeless.
>>31837848
Anko might be tough but actually possible unlike haku. At least it much easier than the Hinata path. Two Pariah together? Possible. Maybe if Naruto get a growth spurt in 2/3 years and matures, Anko would be into him.

But first, focus on surviving and getting stronger. Waifu wars can wait.
>>
>>31837843
Not like it comes up in the manga much. And it really isn't hard to believe that Naruto was just confused over his feelings for Sakura. While I'm pretty damn sure he is straight, it isn't set in stone.

Plus, not like him turning out to be bi in an entirely different universe with different cultural mores would be that strange.
>>
>>31837886
So? That's a perfectly acceptable age difference. Some would even prefer it.
>>
>>31837886
More like 11/12 years anon.

Still, when you are a ninja, you fight, killed and die. No one would give a shit if you fuck a 15/16 year old Chunnin. Besides, Anko already got shit from being orochimaru students. She don't give a fuck.
>>
>>31837922
dude that's still double our age at this point
>>
>>31837922
>She don't give a fuck.
But that's the opposite of what we want!
>>
>>31837890
It's cute that you think Haku being non-viable as a romantic interest would keep him/her from being waifu'd. How long have you been doing quest threads?
>>
>>31837890
Actually I'm pretty sure Haku isn't a missing-nin, since he never was part of the Hidden Mist Village to begin with.

He's just a vagrant with magic powers who was adopted as a missin-nin's sex slave.
>>
>>31837932
Culture from naruto world is different from our world. Ninjas are full adults mercs.

What age do they consider a person to be an adult? Around 12/13.
>>31837936
She fucks us while not giving a fuck about other people opinions.

Best of both worlds really.
>>31837937
Uh no. We want to be stronger than god and we also got people worth fighting fore. Like Gai, or Hinata, or Lee or those two ramen chefs or that Mind fuck ninja or Ino.

We would not give it all up for a few minutes with a pretty boy, specially since naruto isn't gay.

In fact, this is another troll attempt. Waifu Haku and make naruto a missing nin. This will lead to kakashi killing or imprisoning Naruto and the quest would be over by then.

You can't fool be troll.
>>
>>31837984
Homeless Ninja Quest never
>>
>>31837999
You seem to be caring way too much about Naruto.

That is never a good sign.
>>
>>31837999
I was actually just making a comment on /tg/'s habits in quest threads. I think it's a bad idea to romance Haku. That doesn't mean there won't be people asking for it. Loudly and often. It's the sort of thing this board does. Especially in Ygg/Dran's quests. That's all I was saying.
>>
>>31837999
Shit, I mean you can't fool me troll.
>>31837984
Haku is still on the list or the book of missing nin and ninjas that got bounties.

If he with his master, he would be known for his ice bloodline. Just because you aren't a ninja from a village don't exempt you from the book.

>>31838020
Now Strawmanning. Anon, no one is fooled here by you.

Is this a new meme or something?

Creeping out of your hiding spot, you double back around to stay out of his sight while looking out for Sakura's pink hair and red dress. She's actually concealed a bit better than you had thought, forcing you to call her out instead.

In short time, she appears before you, looking away, “What is it Naruto? You know we should be trying to get a bell...” She doesn't make eye contact and you don't much care.

You bite your tongue from some of the things that you'd like to say to her, you need this to work. “I figured this thing out, at least, I think.”

She crosses her arms, “Oh?”

“Yeah well, we need to work rogether to get the bells. I mean, I haven't tried yet but...” You frown, “I don't see me being able to get this guy on my own. Listen though,” You point at Haruno Sakura with her pretty pink hair. This damned traitor, “I'm not doing this because I forgive you okay? But hey, if we get the bells at least we'll be able to pass. If I...” clenching your outstretched finger closed,”Noth'n. You in?”

Sakura lets the wind roll past her before she gives a reply,”Okay. I have a plan.”
You get into position behind a tree, Sakura behind another. A peek out and you see Kakashi still standing in field, a river running at his back, a babbling brook with carefully placed stones around the border. His attention is focused on a book, a stupid look on his face as he turns the next page.
What the heck is this guy doing? Weren't you all supposed to be testing?

Whatever. Time to be greater than god.

Ram, Snake, Tiger. Bunshin No Jutsu! A single double appears beside you. Flawlessly crafted in your image. From where it stands, no grass is disturbed and the gentle wind doesn't disturb its features.

Next. Dog, Boar, Ram. Henge No Jutsy! You transform yourself into Sasuke. Sharing class with him at least gives you the benefit of knowing what he looks like.

I don't think he is. Like Kakashi knew about Zabuza, but he didn't know about Zabuza having an effeminate accomplice.

Haku is literally the worst waifu

● Already taken
● Zabuza is an asshole
● All the alienation of Orochimaru route without any of the benefits

You hold up a kunai.

Sakura's plan is thus: You run to engage as Sasuke and yourself. The clone goes for the bells, and you go for a frontal strike. He'll likely know about the clone and deal with you first, since you're sasuke.

When he hits you back, you throw Sakura that's transformed into a Kunai, missing on purpse. She'll dispel her transformation and snatch the bells as she flies by. It's up to you to do it at the right time...

It's up to you...

Dude, crits literally never count modifiers . If you get a 1, you'll get a crit even with +50 on your diceroll.

>>
>>31838201
>>31838200
>>31838182
I think it's roll under, but Dran takes the highest.

It's like if it was roll over, but he took the highest.

So, essentially, this is the "FUCK YOU YOU FAIL" roll.

Modifiers don't interfere with crits.

>>31838180
>Also does Kakashi lower his modifier by 25?
I said highest wins, though if I was going for a low roll challenge roll that's what I could've done.
It was going to be roll under, but then I realized + modifiers wouldn't work.
Now I realize I should've just made them negative.
>>
>>31838205
Seriously, what the fuck is QTQ
>>
>>31838228
I think Kakashi actually did just as bad as us, but didn't critfail
>>
>>31838149
WAIT A MINUTE.

HIGHEST WINS. NARUTO WINS. YES.

or not. At least we can dream.
>>
>>31838241
Did we win or not?

99+20>91+25
>>
>>31838241
So does that mean he rolled a 91+25?

Like what does "improved" mean in this context?

This makes no sense.
>>
>>31838241
Heh.
Does this mean we win super hard? Or still lose super hard?

I don't mind either way. Should be hilarious no matter the result. The important thing is we tried teamwork anyway.
>>
>>31838257
We critfailed, so I'd say we probably lose.

Which makes sense, since there's no fucking way we can pickpocket a Jounin.
>>
>>31838253
Wait, so a critfail wins because it's higher?
>>
>>31838261
Kakashi isn't trying. That why he gets a modifier of +25 on his rolls.

That why get get a modifier for +20 because Kakashi is still Jounin and a damn good one at that.
>>
>>31838275
This is retarded.

Close but not quite.

Fail on all counts, but this has been pretty close aside from the critfail. Let's see...

Nope. This was a roll over roll that had critfail range at the high end and critsuccess at the low end. I have no idea why.

Nope. This roll was highest wins. Don't you read the posts and roll prompts?

>>31838301
I seriously doubt the QM even knows what the fuck he's doing at this point.

Did you actually, you know, PLAN for this, Dran?
>>
>>31838314
You know what, I said highest wins for that roll because I had a brainfart on how to make modifiers count for a challenged roll under.

Despite the fact that I said otherwise, I'll give it, because a critfail will make it tie out and that'll be better to write anyway.

>>31838341
I've used inverted crits in Akuma quest before.
>>31838344
It actually works out to your benefit.

If a crit is 5 or less and you roll 2, 65, and 87 you get the crit.

If you roll 6, 64, and 89 you get the 89. In any case, it's back to roll under.

Wait what Dran?

Inverted crits? Someone explain to me this shit about?

Dran, explain. Put this at least possible in the rule set like this, :Underdog: If you opponent is of sufficient higher ability than you, you can use crit fail as crit success.

You know, give naruto that comeback factor.

We can learn by ourselves and from Gai. We can learn social combat and interaction from Ino father and we can learn teamwork from kakashi.

Not much but better than Academy classes
>>
>>31838803
I hate to say this, but...

We should ask Sasuke for tips on how to develop ninjutsu

Also, Hinata can help us with Genjutsu, if need be...maybe the blonde's father?
>>
>>31838803
I dunno, I feel like if Naruto wasn't so terrible at learning in a classroom environment we wouldn't be nearly as shit as we are. Some one on one tutoring from Iruka when he has the time would easily go along way to bolstering the basics. Actually, can that be an option? Asking Iruka to come find us every once in a while when he can spare some time for remedial lessons?

Sasuke would not help. He got too much baggage and he would not spare us "his time."

We can learn Genjutsu from Ino father as well social combat and stuff.

Taijutsu is Gai and Lee. No questions asked about that.

Ninjutsu, we got the library.......That about it.
>>31838857
Iruka might help naruto set up his basics, so that good too.
>>
>>31838857
Probably not. This Iruka doesn't really care about us that much. Without the weird guilt complex over the fox, he's got no reason to really be involved in our life.
>>
>>31838868
She got the charka control and her teacher is a genjutsu master. even if she don't know NOW, we can learn later.
>>
>>31838894
We need to learn chakra control stuff before all of this...maybe Kakashi CAN be good for something?
>>
>>31838894
Also, not to metagame, but we REALLY don't want to spend much time around Sasuke. The more comfortable he is around us the more likely it is he'll try to kill us for power.
>>
>>31838897
Point. We skipped out on our major bonding moment with him. Still, Iruka is an awesome teacher in that he's actually pretty dedicated to his students, both while they're in the classroom and after. It might not be impossible.

>>31838918
Treewalking IS pretty much the only thing he teaches the team...
>>
You rush out, your clone riding upon your tailwind as you home in on your home-invader sensei. The bastard barely acknowledging you as he turns another page. Damn him!

Kakashi starts talking as you hit the thirty meter mark,”Ninja lesson one, Taijutsu. You should be pretty familiar with it, hm Naruto?”

You almost freeze up, you're covers blown! How did he, no, he must be talking to the clone...

Your hesitation causes you to stop twenty meters from him, your legs still tingling with pain from “leg day.” You put your guard up, staring Kakashi down.

“What, you lost your nerve? You can't fight me from over there unless you mean to use a weapon.”

“How am I supposed to attack you if you're reading?” You say pensively, slowly sliding closer, eyeing the bells hanging at his side.

“Some of your targets won't necessarily be ready to fight you know. That's when it's best to strike. Though sometimes you should wonder, have they noticed you already?”

You see the Kakashi before you disappear into thin air. No... a clone? You feel the hair tingle at the back of your neck.

“It could be a trap.” A voice says from behind you, causing you to look back, your Sensei sitting behind you. He gives a little wave, with a “yo,” before bringing his hands together.

“Secret ninja art, hidden leaf supreme technique,” His eyes shines with a sinister light. You instantly feel a sense of dread overcome you, a blue gloom falling over your eyes.

“One thousand years of pain!” You feel a sharp poke in your butt, as you fly away with in incredible force, your clone and transformation dispel, revealing you for who you are as you scream all the way into the river. It's only at the last moment that you throw Sakura as a kunai.
>>
>>31838925
Yeah. We got better things to do like train or work part time on a flower shop.

The life of a genin that is orphan is a tough one. Sasuke must be fucking loaded with money and property. Too bad that shit was frozen when he became a missin nin.
>>
>>31838868
not really. She does have extremely good chakra control and medical skills though, and should know genjutsu theory from her jonin
>>
>>31838945
It's still unclear what our dad did or didn't do.

Like we know he didn't become hokage, and when we were alive he was a drunken fuckup but had already made it to being a skilled jounin.

He could still have been Jiraiya's student and Kakashi's teacher... only ultimately being immensely disappointing.

To the best of my memory...

I THINK it was explicitly mentioned that we are not related to any incarnation of Minato or Kushina (or whatever the fuck Naruto's parents are called), but I couldn't tell you where/when cuz I don't remember.

Best girl is opinion, my friend.

Harem is fact, and it's one that downgrades waifu wars to 'which one we bangin today?'
>>
>>31839500
but is Harem Route an option in theis quest?
>>
>>31839472
Well, we'll certainly make some headway. We probably won't fuck him up unless he critfails though.
>>
>>31839500
Honestly, naruto seems to be in a one on one relationship guy. No harem for him.

Seriously don't. Harems will be forever waifu wars.
>>
>>31839521
I know, I just really wanted to post that gif.
>>
>>31839545
Honestly, I can see this iteration of naruto becoming a cold, calculating person. "My life is a living hell anyways, so I might as well be satan. Maybe I'll be God, if I find myself in heaven by then. It all depends."
>>
>>31839472
No we won't.

At most we might make him close his book.
>>
>>31839594
we're also 12 and basically untrained
>>
>>31839591
That's silly and edgy, and you should feel bad for even thinking that is something any actual person with even a shred of self awareness would even contemplate saying
>>
>>31839608
Yeah, that's why I said at most.

Really the whole test is a farce, you'd have to be a prodigy beyond Sasuke to legitimately get the bells.

Even with teamwork.
>>
>>31839591
that's not a cold, calculating person.
that's a sociopath

I agree that's stupid, but it's sadly in-character to say something that stupid.

No way we ending up like that.
>>
>>31839591
Oh god....
>>
>>31839665
Right, but this isn't canon-bad-writing quest, this is what-the-show-could-have-been quest.
>>
>>31839665
Not really. It just means your taste is pretty bad.
>>
>>31839682
Indeed.
Let's not forget that.
>>
>>31839656
Look at Naruto's upbringing.

>Orphan
>Traitor father
>Entire village gives us shit for existing
>Have a grand total of three people who give a shit about us (Hinata, Iruka, Guy, leaving that chick's father as a tentative fourth)
>Already decided we were going to become as strong as God
>Already don't care about Sasuke's emotional baggage
>We've gotten so used to watching other kids go home with their families it doesn't even phase our 12 year old mind anymore
>We've been an angsty prick towards everyone thus far

Where in there do you see a not-sociopath
>>
Hitting the water, you immediately start pushing out until you break out, and lay your hands on the stones of the bank, pulling yourself out of the water.
Your green beast jumpsuit proves to be water resistant as you escape without much of any water dragging you down. Kind of awesome.

You rush out and see Sakura knocked back while clutching something to her chest, Sasuke suddenly leaps out from the trees, striking at Kakashi with a foot, forcing the jonin to block in the short interval from his strike against Sakura.
Forcing Kakashi to drop his book and catch the fist, only to be hammered by a kick from above.

You see Sasuke's combo flip him upside down as he reaches for a bell at the waistline with Kakashi using an overhead guard. He sees through Sasuke and quickly slides back just in time for you to press the attack with a pair of Shuriken from your side as Sasuke launches a volley of his own.

Kakashi sidesteps the barrage, letting the projectiles meet at a crosssroads as he glances between the two of you in a smooth movement, his attention away from Sakura.

Sasuke closes in again only to back off, faking out your sensei as you throw a haphazard, yet strong right punch, easily parried by Kakashi. Sasuke uses this moment to break the two of you apart with another volley of shuriken, forcing Kakashi back as you press forward.

You go in for a lunging attack and quickly get caught with a parry and strike to your solar,”Quite rambuctious aren't you...” He mumbles, yet you grab his arm, holding him in place as you resist the pain of the strike despite your lack of breath. You won't let go, you can't.
>>
>>31839734
You're totally overblowing our reactions to things. We've been a typical "acting out against authority figures" problem child at worst. A guidance hungry youth with trouble focusing at best. There's still plenty of room there for growth, and that's what this quest is for.
>>
>>31839734
Really? We have been less of a prick than CANON naruto. Sakura wants the seat, she takes it. Train instead of prank. Save Brat over FORBIDDEN SCROLL.

Naruto despite all the shit in his life, is still a sane and nice guy.
>>
>>31839771
Hence, cold and calculating instead of distilled angst. Also, Naruto's always been too plucky of a bastard for my tastes. Part of why I lost interest in the show. No sane person goes through that without some variation on PTSD.

The first three years are the most impressionable years of a child's life, and from what I'm gathering those years were filled with a drunken father and dead mother.

There is no more logical resting spot for a mix of cold logic and outright sociopathic tendencies than the non-QB naruto.
>>
>>31839511
It's always an option. Its just a question of how viable an option. For the moment...

>Ten Ten: Entirely unimpressed with us. Doesn't hate us though. Might be somewhat impressed by developing good aim and weapons skills, as well as by collecting exotic weapons we come across.
>Hinata: Watches us struggle through our crapsack Dead Last life. Probably admires us for it. Is incredibly shy. Can be won over by showing faith in her abilities and helping her draw them out, as well as by supporting her against the Hyuuga clan's bullshit.
>Ino: On the fence. We never got along, but she seems to be realizing that that wasn't fair now that her dad's forcing us into contact. Best approached by showing our determination to be somebody - specifically ourselves - and being a cool dude who can give people the time of day. She'll probably also appreciate a good relationship with her father and us growing accustomed to helping around the shop. She's pretty normal like that.
>Sakura: Abandoned us out of fear of the consequences of continued association. Seems to want forgiveness, though it is unclear if she feels guilty because she knows she's done us wrong, or if its because she's being forced to work with us. May or may not be serious about Sasuke. Probably best handled by letting her earn forgiveness, acknowledging her when she deserves it, and not being an angsty dick to her all the time. Will probably require the most frustrating 'friendship' phase and seems likely to easily feel betrayed. Betraying someone and not getting over it makes you sensitive to that kind of thing.
>Temari?: Remains to be seen. Not a likely candidate for waifuing/hareming. Dangerous.
>Anko?: Hahaha. Good luck! She's actually pretty cute and a bit of a ditz, but has slight sociopathic tendencies. If she IS viable, she's probably most impressed by taking the high road during confrontations with Orochimaru. Especially when we are actually sorely tempted. Dangerous.
>>
>>31839757
>You rush out and see Sakura knocked back while clutching something to her chest
Quick fingers Sakura.
>>
>>31839846
I am coming round.
I like her.

Assuming she's not hurt, but I am thinking not.
>>
>>31839771
>>31839827
We have had anger issues popping up though. Our 'cold and calculating' friend might be interested in the Ultimate Hoodlum approach outlined in the first thread as a possible alternative. Meshes better with what we've currently got going on.
>>
>>31839827
We're talking about characterization that has already taken place. We've got good intentions, and a lot of feelings of misplaced anger that we've had to sort around with. Mostly Gai teaching us that channeling it into training to be better than the piece of shit father they always compared us to. Inoichi came to us with respect and empathy, things we weren't used to, and he gave us the opportunity to get money and a kind ear. People are playing an important part in our development that would make it impossible for us to be a cold calculating walking personification of teenage faux-apathy, because it would mean spitting on everything they've given us so far.
>>
>>31839827
Agreed. This whole 'suck up shit with a smile' thing is bullshit. I'd not say go full angst, but nobody goes through misery so young without some scars. Anything else is not only unrealistic, it is damned boring.

THANK YOU

Maybe I was leaning a bit too much in the opposite direction, but I suppose my answer was read in sort of in a Kira type voice.

I meant it more in 'Ya know what, fuck it. I'm here, so I might as well be on top right?' Just...lazy, less fucks given as reflected in our choices.
>>
>>31839949
She doesn't mean anything by it! She kinda just picked it up from when she was hanging out with the freaky snake dude.
>>
>>31839978
We DO kinda hate everyone's that every been an asshole to us. We just seem to have the moral fiber to do the right thing regardless. Might be why we get so angry all the time.
>>
>>31839943
Just because you say something, that doesn't mean it's true.

Emotional scars happen because a person allows their self to be hurt. The Naruto here is callused, but nothing that would necessitate him being 'scarred'.
>>
Sasuke slides in, with a reverse roundhouse, forcing Kakashi to block with his other hand, his position actually shifting from the strength of the strike.

Sasuke snakes a hand around the broken guard as you hold Kakashi in please, pilfering a jingling bell as he retreats with a large jump, sliding back against the grass.

Sasuke takes a deep breath, having actually broken a sweat in this whole mess. Kakashi looks down at you, still clinging to his arm and wheezing from the loss of breath. There's some look of pity in his eyes, “So Sakura and Sasuke got a bell, but the three of you all worked together for the most part. Naruto was sacrificed to give Sasuke the opening he needed to complete the objective.”

Kakashi stares at you,”Congrats Naruto, you've been injured on this mission so that the other two could complete it.” He smiles behind his mask,”I suppose that could make you a hero of sorts.”

You finally crumble to the ground, letting go of his arm, still gasping for a real breath. “We... Did it... We... Got... The bells...” You wheeze,” Guess I'm not eating though, huh?”

Kakashi's smile fades and you feel a chop at the back of your neck, everything going black.


When you eventually come to, tied to one of the three poles, your arms firmly fastened behind your back.
What the? You struggle at your bindings a bit, only to find that they definitely will not budge. Kakashi stands before the three of you.
>>
>>31839998
I prefer to think of it as, "Oh hey, this person is being nice to me, I'll be nice back." Being polite and shit. She asked for the seat in a nicer way than most people, so she got the seat. Neji was a complete and utter...Neji, so we tried to beat his punk ass. It's not that we're out to become good or evil, necessarily. We just wanna be top dog for once.
>>
“Well, now that Naruto's suffered an injury to complete the mission, he's the only one that doesn't need to eat.” He sets down two box lunches at either side of you, quickly grabbed up by Sakura and Sasuke. “Eat to your heart's content. You left your team-mate behind, so you can't quite feed him now can you?” Kakashi walks off casually, “The two of you pass, so enjoy it. If you feed him, you can say goodbye to being Genins.”

You slump against the ropes. Hey... Kabuto was telling the truth right? You can't fail this, right? You didn't fail this right?

Your stomach rumbles, having only had a bite of bread. Sasuke happily munches down on his food without paying you a second thought, it's only Sakura that seems to be hesitant about the whole thing.
She frowns at the box-lunch with her chopsticks at the ready and then looks over to you, then back to the box-lunch.

She seems to think about something as you draw ever closer to resigning yourself back to the academy.

She picks something out of the lunchbox and offers it to you, blushing a little out of embarrassment.

“Um, this is yours. I'll help you eat it, okay?” She looks away, still kind of frowining.

“Sakura, what are you doing?” Sasuke looks over, but doesn't move to intervene. “You heard Sensei, if you feed him you're cut from the program. He's already a lost cause.”

“But, if he hadn't helped, I wouldn't have gotten my bell.” She seems to have more on her mind than just that, as she avoids eye contact with the both of you.

Yea, sucking up bullshit with a smile is a pretty unrealistic thing, in real life, things bother people and affect them.

But just make sure not to swing to much the other way with the whole "I'm gonna make them all pay. Blur blur blur I don't feel anymore, emotions are a liability, I do what's necessary. Hurr no one ever gave me a chance, so I don't trust no one." because that's just as boring. The whole point of this quest is to behave like an actual human being.

And actual human beings crave positive social contact and acceptance. While we may get angry and sick of people's treatment, and yell and scream, at some point you have to work with most of these people. Your lives are on the line with each other, and you'll probably be in this line of work until you die. It's more than likely that most people would be willing to bury the hatchet and move on with their lives, so we should too because vengeance is a childish desire.

Naruto's father beat all the child out of him a decade ago.

Well, we are a bit fucked up. What twelve year old do you know that lives alone in a ramshackle apartment who's holding down a job at a flower shop when he's not a mercenary for hire?

>[] Refuse, you can't compromise someone else.
I want the rest of the team to fail. We showed teamwork and consideration for others. Refusing to let our suffering hold them back will only make us look better and them look worse. Let's see if we can get one out of three passed.

Are we smart enough to figure this out?

Like Sasuke and Sakura already got the bells, so the test is over and we (Naruto) didn't pass.

And yet Kakashi tied us to a post instead of just telling us to beat it.

So we should be able to add it up.

I'm pretty sure kakashi knows we got the teamwork thing down. He's more likely to be testing the others. So the question is, did he overhear Sakura's offer in the first place? Regardless of whether we accept or not, we need to be grateful though. She IS risking her passing for us.

Of course it's obvious. He was talking all that good shit trying to make them feel bad about us going hungry to get them those bells, and the whole tying us up thing is totally unnecessary.
>>
>>31840225
Sakura should also suspect something is up.

Though there is another layer to the bell test.

Namely sometimes teammates die or get captured, and you need to go out there knowing that you might not come back.

Everyone, right now. The entire village has been treating us like shit for our lives. Everyone is in bad standing, and at best gets cold, uncaring politeness and etiquette.

Yeah. So people can see it was deleted. Which could only mean that the anon took back his vote.

Do you even know how this works?
>>
>>31840426
>>31840422
It's a situation where you have to trust Sakura's judgement. Your teammate is given the option to help you or fail the mission. Do you trust her to know how to handle this, or will you refuse, and put everything in jeopardy simply because you don't want to be the reason for failure?
>>
>>31840432
Why should Naruto trust any of these jokers?
Better to err on the side of caution
>>
>>31840452
It's important to note that both sides were doing things for the "right" reasons.

And we really shouldn't be doubting Kabuto since Kakashi has no reason to tie up a failure to a post.
>>
>>31840433
That only changes how we might approach the test. What it should actually be testing doesn't depend on anything about us. Besides, I doubt it's as simple as passing or failing based on what we do. Kakashi wants to see the lengths we'd go for the others, on both sides. Probably.
>>
>>31840465
Now THAT reasoning I can understand.
>>
>>31840465
Really, the only one in danger of 'failing' the mission, in this case, would be Sasuke. Unless he somehow shows team solidarity with us, he won't be able to pass.

I don't know. Maybe he could offer to try and hide or disguise us. Who knows.
>>
>>31840488
Kakashi was always one for looking underneath the underneath, and all.
>>
>>31840473
>has no reason to tie up a failure to a post.
You keep saying this.

Of course he has a reason.

He's making them eat in front of their "Sacrificed" teammate.

Or he's tormenting Naruto in a way because that's what people have done to Naruto.

Meh.
>>
>>31840504
If he failed us then we're not his student, so he's essentially just being a jackass.
>>
>>31840499
The trouble with that is: where does the rabbit hole end?
>>
>>31840465
2 won.

We likely gonna failed. Changes in timeline don't change the test.
>>
>>31840504
Why not both?
But really he's probably doing it because it's funny, and also to see what the other two do in regards to their 'sacrificed' team mate. Ignoring means they really would leave em behind. Trying to feed means they wouldn't.

Whether we accept or not probably won't matter to Kakashi. Might matter to Sakura tho.
>>
>>31840521
Unless Kakashi fucks us because we're a traitorspawn, of course.

Or his backstory is different due to a different Yondaime.
>>
>>31840488
See
>>31840498
It doesn't matter if we refuse Sakura. It'd just mean that both Sakura and Naruto has shown what a proper relationship between teammates should be.

Sasuke needs the opportunity to show his team spirit. If we accept the offer, then Sasuke could try and follow up on it (although, since he was the one who first offered food to Naruto in the manga and he's a bit more selfish here, it's hard to tell if he could be influenced by peer pressure to copy Sakura). If we didn't, he could have a change of heart and try to help come up with some way to disguise or hide our feeding.
>>
>>31840515
The answers lie underneath the mask
>>
>>31840515
And there the chance of you reading more than there actually is
>>31840510
Pretty much..
>>
>>31840521
By one vote, yeah. I think this affects our relationship with sakura more than it does anyone's passing or failing though. At least, I hope that's all it is... Considering how close it is, a lot of back and forth in-character would be appropriate, if nothing else.
>>
>>31840515
>Implying rabbits.
He has dogs.

>>31840510
He could be on his way to formally dismiss Naruto as a student.

>>31840528
Just giving a more natural reason to the anon that insists it makes no sense. There's sense if you look for it.
>>
What if this "anything for the mission" mindset + being a disposable orphan puts us in the crosshairs of ROOT or some similar group?
>>
>>31840521
>>31840504
If 2 won, I hope it's not in a really asshole manner.
I mean ,she was trying to be nice. Damn man. And she did damn good today. No reason to be a dick today.
>>
>>31840521
Unless it's not a binary situation.

Or Sakura/Sasuke insists.
>>
>>31840521
See
>>31840498
>>31840534
It's not that hard to understand.
>>
>>31840546
It could just tie into not really wanting pity, or more just a kind of "fair's fair" attitude.
>>
>>31840553
All of my this. We should totally say something along the lines of. "And here I was actually starting to warm up to the idea of being on a team with you."
>>
>>31840534
And if Sasuke don't show teamwork.

WE FAILED ANYWAY. Naruto sacrifice, Sakura Sacrifice but not sasuke?

Teamwork failed. Go back to the academy.

If we taken the food, sasuke would have given some to us.

But since we refused, sasuke will not show teamwork.
>>
>>31840551
It'd be too late to induct us into ROOT, those guys are literally snatched straight of the orphanage to be made into proper ghosts. We're honestly too old to be malleable enough to indoctrinate like that and we already have authority problems, and we're nothing spectacular as far as ninja skills go, so I'd say the chances of that are fairly low.
>>
Guys, we can still just talk to her after this whole thing is over. We can still form the fundation for a new friendship.
>>
>>31840576
Heh. See now, I like that. It's not even relationshipy, it's just nice. And who knows, maybe Kakashi would even swoon over it.

Hope Dran can see this.
>>
>>31840557
>Unless it's not a binary situation.
That seems smartest, yeah.

>>31840578
You're giving Sasuke a lot of credit here...
>>
>>31840578
Sasuke was never going to fail.

kakashi isn't there for anyone but him. I thought the series pretty well elucidated that later on?
>>
>>31840576
That sounds good.
>>
>>31840604
True, though it doesn't really turn out well, no does it?
>>
>>31840600
The whole test is about "teamwork".

If not sharing food, what else will sasuke do for the "team"?

>>31840604
Maybe so but since kakashi seems to be the same, I bet he prioritize teamwork.

He would have bend a bit if sasuke just gave naruto food (risk of failure for giving food to a teammate?) but since he didn't......Failed.
>>
If Kakashi fails us, all that means is we avoid getting fucked by zabuza later.
>>
>>31840627
I was just disagreeing that Sasuke would've followed Sakura's example. He has his, bell, he gives no fucks right now. The only reason he fed Naruto in the series was because they'd all failed and he didn't want Naruto dragging them down.
>>
>>31840627
Which is a good thing. Sasuke will be held back to stew in impotent frustration at his inability to gain power. Itachi will go free for another year, all because Sasuke couldn't work together with others. That would arguably be REALLY good for his emotional development to have happen to him.
>>
>>31840654
But that would lead to a chain of events that naruto would not be there, thus shit will be fuck all over the countries.

>>31840659

Or Sasuke would be pissed the fuck off, and blame naruto.

and naruto, sakura and sasuke would be in the academy for a WHOLE FUCKING YEAR.

A whole year.
>>
>>31840627
Originally he did not do it for teamwork either.

Kakshi made a big speech that allowed sasuke to decide showing teamwork was how he could win. He gamed the test.

Kakashi knew this also and still passed him, I feel. I hope anyways, he is a jounin.
>>
>>31840670
It would give us time to work on elemental manipulation or something.

Think about it, a whole year where we know everything on the curriculum, but that we have to spend studying rather than going on missions. Twelve full months to level-grind on more advanced techniques.
>>
Never really watched the shows or read the manga, here. So, this is another test? Teamwork and self-sacrifice? Why can't we accept the food or whatever?

I mean, what I get is that this main character is different that the one in the show. And the fact that in this quest we are known as the son whose father threw everyone under the bus and got his team killed or whatever.

And since we are trying to change that, would it not make more sense in and out of character to refuse the food? Because we don't want to end up like our drunk piece of shit father?
>>
>>31840714
Look it's a big confusing mess, plus I'm pretty sure some people voted '2' specifically to fuck things up.
>>
>>31840700
It be a whole year of basic anon.

No one would give elemental manipulation to us. The Pariah.

Sasuke is different. Sasuke had his family teach him. Sasuke was the younger son of the heir to the clan of the Uchiha. Sasuke had info and training.

We got jack. I bet we can't even learn that shit because it classified for academy students.
>>
You know guys, one way to fuck with Kakashi could be to do what he did and become obsessed with following the rules.

We should do it.
>>
>>31840714
That's the problem. It makes sense to refuse because we'd be securing the mission and our teammates even though it costs us. However, our teammates should be willing to toss the mission for the team's sake as well. So both options seem correct. The question is, is there only one right answer, and if so, which is it and why?
>>
>>31840725
pretty much.
>>
>>31840714
Interesting point, I'd quite like to see naruto consciously aiming for an ascetic lifestyle as a counterpoint to his father's failings.
>>
>>31840734
Are you insinuating that we relive the early years of kakashi's life to fuck with him? Because that sounds worth the months of acting like an uptight lawyer
>>
>>31840734
What we want is power. If the rules get in the way, why wouldn't we go around them?
>>
>>31840743
Did no one actually bother to read Dran's post here? Seriously?
>>31840325
>>
>>31840743
It's a complicated situation.
>>
You stare at the food before you. She says you earned it, she says that it's yours, but she's the one with the bell. Closing your mouth, you shake your head and lean back against the treee.
“Keep it.”

She looks down, setting the morsel back in the box, seeming a bit disheartened.

You sigh, “I can't screw you out of being a genin just because I'm a little hungry.” You look down to her. Her glistening green eyes stare right back into yours. She's actually pretty when she isn't a total bitch. What's gotten into her lately anyway?

“You know it's fine, you can go ahead and eat.” She says this, yet she brings the chopsticks down to rest in the box.

“And I said that it's fine. I'm the dead last anyway. It suits me to get kicked out or whatever. I'll just figure out something on my own.”


Sasuke sits there eating through your little display, only paying as much mind as need be. He swallows and seems to consider something himself as he stares into the lunch-box.... Before popping another bite into his mouth.

Sakura finally wanes after your refusal, and that's when Kakashi suddenly appears before the three of you, arms crossed and staring down resolute.

“Alright then, I'll be telling you three who's passed the test."

> End Thread.
>>
>>31840727
Yeah Sasuke had his family teach him.

When he was nine years old. And his fire shit is advanced as fuck. He gets it out of clan scrolls and it took him a long ass time to do it. No other genin have that elemental shit other shit similar unless they're clan brats. When the fuck did you see Sakura burnmurdering people? Genin suck man, it just so happens that the main cast it better then the rest, who fucking knew!?
>>
>>31840757
He's saying there's no reason to just assume we'd fail, which is what some people were doing. He's not saying it couldn't happen.

That doesn't work, it's gotta be a three man team.

Really this whole thing is just obnoxiously murky and rife with metagaming and counter-metagaming.
>>
>>31840787
This is barely even a cliffhanger. It's just the absence of a conclusion.
>>
>>31840768
Naruto failed because while he's willing to sacrifice himself for his team and for the mission, he doesn't trust when others try to do the same for him.

Sakura failed because she started down the right path but couldn't stay the course.

Sasuke failed because he's a self-important ass.
>>
>>31840805
YES

THE QM SURVIVES ON THE TEARS OF THE FALLEN

>>31840811
We were told, clear as day, well beforehand, that there was no way anyone could fail. ICly. By Kabuto.

Kabuto is a fucking liar and Kakashi has failed every team before now.

You idiot. That was a fucking plot point.

You fucking stupid fucking idiot.
>>
>>31840825
Or,

Naruto passed because his point about screwing Sakura over is valid. Since he already failed to secure a bell, letting her risk her own success made no sense.

Sakura passed because she wanted to help Naruto, but ended up honoring his decision not to risk her success.

Sasuke failed because he's a self-important ass.
>>
Kinda want to do something nice for Sakura now.

Not really sure what, but I do.
>>
>>31840855
Welp.

I voted 1. We failed. Back to the academy for a whole year.

homework. research. not getting shit done.

The consequences of naruto not getting a bite would have drastic and terrible things happened all over the elemental countries.
>>
>>31840810
I'll just settle for him pointing out that our decisions needed to be better thought out. Reading too much into it'll just make my head hurt, and I've got work I should be doing.

>>31840827
Kabto seems nice and all, but he's a complete stranger and Orochimaru's right-hand man. He's not the most trustworthy dude.

>>31840843
It's that beneath the underneath thing. It's not JUST about the meal, its about how we think these things through. It's just that in context, you're absolutely right.

>>31840862
I'd be perfectly ok with that, except for the whole it's a three man team thing. He might just let Sasuke pass saying it's something to work on.
>>
>>31840862
failing naruto would be like failing a miniature Obito at this point.

I mean if we were metagaming.
>>
>>31840825
I don't think it was a matter of trust. It was more the whole Father's Shadow.

>Father's Shadow(1.80): You currently live under the stigma that you will grow up to be your father's son. A drunk piece of trash that let his squadmates die. This affects Konohagakure ninja's opinion of you until it is lifted.

We have this as our main motivator, we are willing to sacrifice ourselves but not others because we don't want to be seen like our father.

To be honest if was a test it would have been a test to see if are anything like our father.

If anything we might have been the only one to pass.
>>
>>31840875
I mean I guess the difference is that this time we actually got the bells first.

But still, you idiots.
>>
>>31840862
But Sasuke will still pass because Kakashi is only here to keep him in check.
>>
>>31840855
>Kabuto is a fucking liar
I've been waiting for someone to say that this thread.

There's a reason that I've been dropping in bits about what Kabuto's said.

It's kind of interesting that some of the anons went really far on the "Cannot fail attitude" even when the Naruto as a character was beginning to have doubts.
>>
>>31840855
Technically, he just said the bell was a trap and there was "no elimination." The second part could be interpreted as "no way to fail," but it could also have meant "all pass or all fail."
>>
>>31840874
Well we work at a flower shop now...

>>
>>31840910
I think it is established that people hate naruto and they don't pretend to be nice to him, in general just to hurt him. Turning on him publicly such as Sakura is more normal.

Putting Kabuto asside, I voted option 2 because we're the guy who gave up power to rescue a kid who threw kunai at us. It seemed weird to not let that small streak of nobility show through.

It was a fun time as always.
>>
>>31840975
...but that's wrong. We're not angry, we're anxious. Some of us are just bad at anxious. This is a really fun quest, and he's not really going too far out of line. He's actually paying really close attention to us, regardless of how he acts on it.

Sure.

But looking at the previous posts.

That's not really true.

Where did Kaka say anybody failed?

Possibly.

I am anxious.

Thinking now what we might do considering what may happen.

>We fail
Cool. Head back to training like beast. We'll be a good Genin, I reckon. Means we derail pretty hard from canon, should be interesting.

>We pass
Sweet, celebrate with Sakura (screw Sasuke), and go eat some ramen or something.

After that should be mostly doing more ninja shit, training, flower shop, etc.
>>
>>31840991
I'm against any option where people can just press the "you're fucked" button, or the existence of the "you're fucked" button in the first place.

I'm pretty sure this isn't the case, but this might be a way for Dranzy to get us sucking snakedick.
>>
>>31841003
Which parts? I mean, yeah, cliffhangers are somewhat upsetting, but people seem to being enjoying themselves at least as much as in any other quest, if not more. I don't THINK Dran's done anything too outrageous, and while he hasn't been babying us, he IS paying attention.
>>
>>31841036
Read.
>>
>>31841018
I guess it is really up to how you were interpretting the options. I thought not risking Sakura's chance was the noble option.
>>
>>31841016
well we figure sasuke failed for being a useless shit as always, and we probably failed because we cannot into trust.
also kakashi is a dick as a rule, you need to remember this.
odds are highly likely we failed hard.
>>
>>31840910
I don't see how it's relevant. What does it matter if Kabuto lied to us? It's not like we could have taken Kakashi on our own, anyway. At least this way if we did fail we minimized our failure, and maybe managed to screw over Sasuke in the process (a win in my book). I guess Kabuto could be setting us up for to be a patsy somehow, but that's probably going to happen no matter what.
>>
>>31841016
>email field
I was the guy who failed at that earlier.
...
I don't think we failed.
Not really sure what that says about me.
>>
>>31841025
People have raised it before, that we're not trusting Sakura's judgment and we're spurning her compassion. Like you're expected to go back for your teammates, and you shouldn't spit in their face.

On the other hand, it could be said that the dead are dead and shouldn't drag the living down with them.
>>
>>31841036
Well, honestly, the really shitty anons here talk too much. It's not unusual for those kinds of anons to get a lot of attention, but they've been a constant since the beginning. It's all rather horrible.

>>31841074
And your response shows how dense you are.
>>
>>31840966
I already said that it was a choice of character.

The decision wasn't concerning whether or not Kabuto lied.

And I really don't understand where you're coming from with this.

>>31840996
I'm actually rather happy that 2 won out. As cute as Sakura feeding Naruto in choice 1 would be, choice 2 was the better character choice for being more selfless.

>>31841018
Kind of both actually.


>>31841035
Believe it or not. I actually hadn't thought of Orochi once this thread beyond the whole "Kabuto's a liar" thing.
But like I said, believe it or not.

>>31841060
It was the mentality that Kabuto gave the answer, failure's impossible, and that he's not lying.
You'd trust Kabuto because he gave an answer that aligns with meta-thoughts. While Kakashi was spouting off apparent lies...

Which canon shows can actually be true.

It's actually pretty damn funny.
>>
>>31841100
>Oorochi
I remember you talking about that a while back in the earlier threads.
I believe your exact words were
"I was totally game for Oorochimaru route at first, but this makes for a way more interesting character...

Might be paraphrasing a little, but it was close to that.

>You'd trust Kabuto because he gave an answer that aligns with meta-thoughts. While Kakashi was spouting off apparent lies...
What reason do we have not to believe Kabuto? When the premise of the test itself is ridiculous and Kakashi hesitated before answering Naruto when we brought up Gai's team? Backed up by canon knowledge and yo constantly reminding us that things will proceed as canon (ex; we'll face off against Neji unless something happens), there's really no other way we couldn't believe Kabuto.

Yo man, I figured that already.
But people like to worry about the worst thing that could possibly happen. Especially because it wasn't aligning with canon.

I like it this way too. Naruto being this way, that is. Doesn't want to drag others down, and hell a little prideful about it, but appreciative of those kind to him.

Nice development, I think.

I am still mad at you for leaving it on a cliffhanger. You fuck.
Night mate. Next thread announced Friday yeah?
>>
>>31841094
That's great. But you're being uncooperative. Kind of dick move that doesn't improve anything, y'know?
>>
>>31841100
Isn't it just as much meta-thinking to assume Kabuto's lying to us just because in canon he's a manipulator? Really, can we trust anything we know from canon? I based my decisions on trying to not be a jerk, not gaming the meta-knowledge. It didn't matter whether it would get us passed or not, cooperation was in-character for the sort of person our Naruto is trying to be.
>>
>>31841155
Yes. It is a dick move. That's why I'm doing it. To be a dick towards you. That should really be obvious. But I guess it wasn't.

Kakashi is the one that is admittedly testing us.
Kabuto is the guy we ran into, helped him find his glasses and was overall friendly.
For Kabuto to have been lying he'd have to be the coldest passive aggressive in existence or evil.

No, man, Kabuto is cool. He was so nice and he dropped his glasses. You can't be evil if you accidentally drop your glasses when you bump into someone. You just can't!
>>
>>31841160
I think the proper response for a nice, but still stranger telling you the test you're taking from your teacher today is all a lie is to go "Uh...o...kay...I'm not so sure I believe you, but he is kinda a fuck."

So, cautious I guess. Many people were all "YEAH THIS IS CONCRETE PROOF"
That's all he's saying. That that thought process was just silly. Because it is.
>>
>>31841168
Rest assured, you made that incredibly obvious. I was just hoping we could be civil. Guess that WAS a bit to much to ask though.
>>
>>31841173
or both?
>>
>>31841196
Yeah. Especially when you don't read.

>>31841207
And now we're back to square one.

>the coldest passive aggressive in existence
I now want this as a character.

But really, It's kind of a confirmation bias.

You heard two different things and you chose the one most convenient.
Your brand-new home-invader sensei just told you about a really hard pass or fail final final exam that'll send you back to academy if you fail.
Random dude you bump into tells you that you can't fail!

Basically: >>31841189

Anon, just stop.
He's beyond talking to, and he's made it quite clear.
>>
>>31841227
Figured I was right bout that.

Doesn't mean Kabuto was WRONG.
Just means the people using him as a pole to chain themselves too was a little silly.
>>
>>31841062
That you're not alone

>>31841235
But I was having so much fun!
>>
>>31841227
Even if you state it that way, Kabuto still sounds more believable.

It's not just about hearing two different things and choosing the option that sounds more convenient. Kakashi's test is unbelievable because it is unreasonable. Kabuto's answer is believable because it's reasonable.

Because y'know what they say about making assumptions!
>>
>>31841265
Like adults can't be unreasonable?

If you remember, a lot of them are blaming us for what our dad did.

Which is in-character for our Naruto. Who's he going to believe? Some asshole who's done nothing but belittle him (and, he suspects, lie to him) or a guy who actually treated him with some degree of common courtesy? But still, I get your point. At least I can be smug in knowing that I wasn't basing my voting decisions on that. I just thought that trying to cooperate with our team would be a neat thing to do. We're trying to be as far from canon Naruto as we can while still being recognizably the same character. Trying to cooperate instead of going it on our own was a fun way to do that.

Think about it.
>Teacher comes to you
>"So this test counts for 70% of your grade. Better not fuck up."
>Nervous sweating
>Guy next to you, just met em, but he bought you a soda earlier:
>"Don't worry, it's all bullshit."

Guy's nice and all, but are you really willing to risk it all on that?
You shouldn't. The teacher has authority. The stranger doesn't.
>>
>>31841227
You're trying to hard to be mysterious, Dran. And all you really manage to do is get people angry.

Really, Kabuto honestly was more believable. Forget the fact that he was a stranger or that his answer was more 'convenient'. Actually, that he's a stranger who didn't react immediately to who we were (doesn't recognize Naruto as the son of a traitor) reinforces how trustworthy his answer was.
>>
>>31841305
In this case, he's not the guy next to us. He's a senior who's already gone through it.
>>
>>31841317
Dran doesn't make me angry. Maybe you're just a bit melodramatic.
>>
>>31841336
From a different school (or at least class) with different teachers.
And not 'gone through it before' but rather 'didn't hear anything like that when he did it, so is assuming it's false'.

Basically, the teacher is the one with the authority in this situation. Is it strange, and worthy of suspicion? Definitely, but it's a big leap to assume that a guy who never even had Kakashi as a sensei knows what he does with his test.

Because Kakashi CAN fail people, if he wants, ya know.
It's part of the whole sensei thing.
>>
>>31841348
Dran just attracts sperg lords
>>
>>31841336
This is true. However, while that does give him a shred of credibility, you want more than a shred to go on if you're betting your entire future. It's just common sense. And who knows what HIS genin test was like anyway?

That's why Dran is sleeping with giggles in this throat tonight, I reckon.
