I have a question how you determined the starting stats. Where the rolls divided in half or what?

As you and your team walk into the room, you're greeted by the sight of the other contestants.

"Man." Kiba notes. "That's a whole lot of guys."

Some of the more familiar faces begin to approach. It's teams 6, 8, and 10.

"Well it looks like we're all here." Shikamaru states. "All 12 rookies. We're just gonna have giant targets on our backs this whole competition. What a pain."

Sakura immediately ditches her teammates and rushes over to fawn over Sasuke.

"Oh Sasuke, it's been so long!" she grabs his arm and starts hugging it.

Sasuke looks disturbed and pushes her away. "Can you not do that?"

Sakura looks devastated, but then sees Ino. "You! You better stay away from Sasuke, you pig!"

Ino shoots Sakura a condescending look. "How juvenile, Sakura. You don't have a chance with a guy, so you go straight to take it out on me. Well I hate to tell you this, but Sasuke's not the hottest guy around anymore. And let's say I've got the market cornered on that one, so you can just keep your delusions."

While those two argue, Kiba and Sasuke make conversation with Choji and Shikamaru. You see Sai nearby, consoling a depressed Lee. You also see Tenten nearby talking with her team. She gives you a wave as you glance in her direction.

>A.Talk to someone (specify)

>B.Do nothing

>C.Other

>>42255898
Let's rock, fuckers.

Also, I came up with a way to beat Sasuke. It involves wire, flashbangs, smoke bombs, and a whole lotta luck.

>>42255919
Yes

>>42255931

>>42255931
>>A.Talk to someone (specify)
Wave to Tenten but talk to Kiba and Sasuke

Chat about some of the other teams here. Maybe do some boasting about your B-rank mission.

>>42255931

>>42255931
Ask about Ino's new boy toy.

>>42255956

Tenten best grill

>>42255931
>A.Talk to someone (Shino)

No-one ever talks to that dude, so we should.

I do wonder who Ino is talking about. It must be someone from a different village, because she says 'anymore', so that can't mean any of the leafs because she'd be aware of them beforehand.

>>42255931
>A.Talk to someone (specify)
See how Tenten's doing with her team. Small talk sorta stuff.

I'd love to stick a few more fake explosive tags under some desks if we could manage.

>>42255931
>A.Talk to someone (specify)
Tenten and her team. Because we're somewhat friendly with her, Hinata a cute, and as >>42256013 points out, Shino needs more love.

>>42256023
Whoopie cushions.with stink tags.

>>42256013
She's talking about Haku, dude. Ino likes em pretty.

>>42255931
AWW yeah just in time

Lets go see Sai

>>42256013
Probably Haku, in which case I expect it to come up so we can tell her off. Poor guy's had a hard enough life without Ino blundering her way into it.

>>42256051
Thaaats right.
Cuz her old man is doing the therapy.

.

>>42255931
>A.Talk to someone (Shino)
Cause why not

>>42256051
>>42256062
Yeah, that makes sense, especially with her dad being the one vetting Haku. Ino would have met him a few times by now. I think she might be barking up the wrong tree, though.

Then everyone get questions about Kon's sexual preference.

>>42256101
That poor cat.

>>42256051
>>42256062
Oh yeah, totally forgot about him, and I guess Ino would meet him if her father was taking care of him.

>>42256106
We could tell her that Kiba's already hit on him.

>>42256106
I think everyone can agree that Kon is good with traps.

>>42256138
Oh, damn! Nice one, Anon.

>>42256138
True but I dunno man.

>>42256121
I think that would piss Kiba off more than her though.

You decide to head over to talk to Tenten and her team. You approach as she's giving directions of some kind.

"Oh, hey Kon." she says as you approach. "Good to see you here. I think all of the rookies are set to do pretty well. Your team and mine I think in particular are gonna go far."

You notice her teammates, Hinata Hyuuga and Shino Aburame. You rarely ever saw them talk back at the academy, and that doesn't look like it's changed a whole lot. Hinata is looking of into space somewhere as usual, and Shino is as shifty as ever.

Another contestant approaches your group of rookies.

"Hey, you guys are the rookies, right?" he says. "My name's Kabuto Yakushi. I'm kind of a veteran here, so I know a lot about how the exam works. I figured I'd help you guys out if you wanted to know anything. Us Leaf Genin have to help each other out right?"

Sooo you do this often then? Why haven't you become a chunin yet?

>>42256211

What a nice guy. Isn't he a nice guy?
Ask about the Sand team. And how he got this information.

>>42256211

Can we make it a thing of ours that we don't trust people with glasses?

>>42256258
Shino is right there. That's just mean.

"A 'veteran', huh? It's a nice sentiment, so I'll keep your offer in mind."

Maximum suspicion engage.

>>42256211

You decide to take up Kabuto on his offer. "Do you know anything about that team from the sand? The one with Gaara?"

Kabuto smirks. "You're in luck. I may not have passed yet, but I've spent these four years gathering information."

He pulls out a stack of cards. "I've used my chakra to encode information onto these cards that only I can access. I can't guarantee I have all the information you want, but I'll tell you what I know."

He spins the blank card under his finger and reveals the information.

"Here he is." Kabuto states. "Not a whole lot on him, but he's done a B rank mission as a Genin. And get this, they say he's never even been injured. His teammates don't have any quite as impressive rumors, but they're also said to be skilled."

Try to get some extra info on the other rookies that we already know, never hurts to be carefull.

>>42256443
>>B.That's good enough
Do not ask him to reveal information about us or anyone we like in a public venue.

>>42256443
>A.Ask something else

Ask him how he put information onto the cards. If we can learn that we could eventually produce infinite explosive tags with blank paper.

So we've got what should be our normal loadout by this point, right? Fūma shuriken, kunai, explosive tags, wire and wire nets, detonators, etc?

>>42256443
Ask about what he has for our team.

>>42256443
>C.Other
"Interesting trick. Is that some kind of seal you've put onto the cards, or something else?"

>>42256518
we also got that kyo-whatever that i forgot the name of thats pretty much a chain/wire connecting a blade to a weight i think

>>42256475
>>42256486
>>42256529
Why do you want to give information on our capabilities to the competition?

Let's not ask Kabuto for more information? If he has data on all of the contenders' previous missions in that detail, him approaching a genin who completed an A rank mission isn't pure chance.

He's obviously got more of an agenda than he's letting on.

>>42256561
My answer was about kabuto not us.

>>42256561
we're giving him anything, we're asking if he HAS anything on us

>>42256581
We're NOT*

fcking hell

>>42256581
Yeah, but we're with Ten-ten's team, so they'll overhear stuff about our team, which will weaken us.

>>42256581
And if he answers us aloud, everyone in the room can hear it.

Talking about ourselves at all is idiotic.

>>42256579
My apologies. That was unclear.

>>42256581
The information he has on us, which he will tell to us and everybody in the room who is listening.

>>42256619
good point

>>42256619

If they want to know, they just have to ask anyway.

If we ask then we can see what he and the others might know/learn about us.

>>42256443
>A.Ask something else

"Have anything on my team?"

>>42256729
No. Just no.

"Neat trick." you tell him. "Is that some sort of seal?"

"It's actually a very simple seal, but it requires pretty precise chakra control to encode correctly." He answers. "Maybe I can show you some time."

He pulls out another card. "You can also do things like this."

The card he pulled reveals a map with bars and numbers. "This here shows the geographical distribution of the contestants. As you can see, most come from the Leaf Village with a few from the other villages. I'm particularly curious about the Village Hidden in the Sound. They only have three genin here, they're pretty small and mysterious. No one knows much about them."

Kabuto eventually puts the cards away, but is approached by a genin with the Sound symbol on his headband. He looks ready to attack Kabuto.

>>42256914
Mate I'm a better hyuuga than hinata.

>>42256961
Because while she is shy she is actually a decent human being.
Also, partly a negative reaction to the sheer bitchiness of Sakura. Girl was outright abusive to Naruto.

"Maybe you can ask him yourself?" you comment.

The Sound Genin however, looks to be in no mood to talk. He takes a swing at Kabuto, who deftly jumps back and dodges.

Strangely though, his glasses break. Stranger still, while everyone's confused, Kabuto collapses and begins to vomit.

Another of the Sound Genin approaches. "Put this on your little cards: All three Sound Genin will be Chunin by the end of these exams."

Just then, from the front of the room, there comes a loud bang. A large group of Chunin and Jonin have appeared.

The one at the front, his face covered in scars, begins to speak.

"Alright, you punks!" he yells. "You in the back! Are you trying to get kicked out already?"

"Sorry." says the one wrapped in bandages. "It was our first time, so we got a bit carried away."

"Let me make this perfectly clear." the scarred man announces. "You are not allowed to fight outside of the test's conditions, and even then, the use of lethal force is strictly prohibited. Anyone who disobeys my direct orders will face terrible consequences. Now, I'll explain the rules for the written portion of the exam."

>continued

>>42257007
She gets better after a while. Then worse again. Kishimoto didn't really do Sakura a good turn. I firmly believe she has potential as a character to be pretty great, she just doesn't actually reach it. It's disappointing.

>>42257077

Well, that's going to annoy Gaara to no end.

>>42257080
out of all girls in naruto with screentime and character development hinata is the best one in my opinion, plus as anon said earlier, she gave birth to himawari so that's a big plus

>>42256982

All the best bloodlines have the worst fucking offspring as Naruto's contemporaries. Hyuuga is fucking based, Hiashi is one of the biggest Wu-Tang level badass ninja in Konoha. But much like Itachi and Sasuke, Neji and Hinata proceed to shit up their legacy. This is all so outcast Naruto can come out on top.

You all are assigned seats, and then the scarred man, Ibiki Morino, begins to explain the test.

"Rule number one." he starts. "This exam works on a point reduction system. You start with ten points, and lose one for every question answered wrong. Rule number two: Teams will pass or fail based on the total scores of all members. Rule number three: The proctors on the edge of the room are there to keep an eye on you. If they catch you cheating, you will lose two points.If you are caught five times, you're out. And the final rule, if anyone should get a zero on the test, they will fail."

The tests are are passed out to everyone. "Begin!" Ibiki shouts.

Y'know. The one that is an exact adult version of the kid.

all right mates what can we in our ability to cheat without getting caught?

without the obvious response of "just don't get caught"

>>42257287
I feel there is some logic in here

>>42257299
We've got an Intelligence score of 2, which is pretty decent. I say we've got a good shot at this test.

>>42257308
The logic is that it was only specified that we lose points for answering wrong. Not answering at all might be considered an answer, however.

>>42257332

No answer is not an answer.

It's just nothing.

>>42257267
This seems pretty good.

>>42257352
No, it's answering with nothing

btw quick question: does our speed equals in only running speed/movement or dexterous actions in general(grabbing things really fast and precise/striking spots with precision etc)

>>42257332
It IS kind of a fair point. If we can spot the people we're meant to cheat off of we may not need to resort to that.

Also, we should be able to talk our way out of it near the end. Because it really is embarrassingly obvious based on the structure of the test and the earlier genjutsu trick that this is a ruse to get stupid or incompetent candidates to eliminate themselves.

>>42257380

If nothing is an answer, then why did they give us tests that were already answered?

>>42257299
Uh, Kon's solution to everything else, an explosion.

Blow up the roof in-front of the examiners, use that time to steal Sasuke's test.

>>42257299
I say we notice that there's an extra procter in the room.

Looks pretty puppety to me...

>>42257399
You must be a troll, because your logic is circular.
>If there is no god, then how come the Universe is here?
Just because the Universe is here doesn't imply that there is a god. The same way that just because leaving the test blank would lose us points doesn't imply that the test is already answered.

>>42257299
Answer one question legitimately if we can, then call bullshit on the proctor at the end of the exam.

Seriously, if intel-gathering was an issue in the field we'd just get Sasuke or Kiba to do it because they're way better at it anyway.

>>42257447
We're supposed to be the subtlety expert here, man. At least answer as many as possible legitly, don't try to bullshit your way out of the test.

>>42257441

A blank is not incorrect.

It's just unfilled.

>>42257228
Guys, just stand up and cheat, don't worry about getting caught, if we do it right, we get 7 points anyway.

>>42257299
Copy Tenten's method with the mirror system. That's well within our abilities.

>>42257487
Also true, and we've been studying with her too.

>>42257466
Pointing out that we know the test is bullshit anyway doesn't seem too out of character.

Congrats, it'll be a closed casket funeral.

WAIT! Do the five times cheating count as five separate instances?

You know Sakura is able to fill out her test without cheating, and does it fast enough its above Genin level.

>>42257531
>inb4 we hijack her mirrors

People, can we please just answer the questions legitimately, or cheat like a motherfucker, without trying to game the rules?

>>42257549
So cheat off Sakura, then. Got it.

>>42257228
I'm up for not answering any and insisting we passed.

>>42257477

You examine the test. There are ten spaces for answers, but the last one has no question next to it. Scanning the questions themselves, you see that they start hard and get harder, quickly devolving into concepts that are complete nonsense to you. You might just be able to pull off the first question if you spent the whole test period on it, but you have no guarantees. You need to get at least one point.

The purpose of the test only becomes more obvious. They want you to cheat and not get caught. You have faith that Kiba and Sasuke can manage, but you don't want to let them down.

Anything we can use to our advantage. If we find nothing we could wait until some of the students are getting ejected, and use that as a distraction to set up a wired mirror or something similar.

Sort of. On the SATs you lose points for wrong answers, but you still need right answers to gain points, you don't start with them. Which means that while you still have to do most of the questions, it's often better to skip a question you don't understand than to try to solve it and get penalized for it.

>>42257601
I think it was Hinata who did it perfectly maybe.

>>42257627
>>42257632

>>42257640

You look around you subtly. Kiba and Sasuke seem to have already gleaned the purpose of the test. From across the room you notice Akamaru looking from the top of Kiba's head and barking the answers to him.

Sasuke is sitting directly behind you, and as you expected, is using his sharingan to copy someone.

You also notice Tenten, sitting diagonal to the front and left of you. You notice her moving her fingers around and glancing up at what seem to be some mirrors she placed around a ceiling light.

You can't see anyone else you know from where you're sitting very well.

You think on what you can do.

>Write in

>>42257754
nah man it was sakura

hinata got it easy with byakugan

>>42257782
>Cheat

Or we could cheat. Because our teammates would answer. And we can gain points for answering correctly.

>>42257782
Subtly palm your corner mirror for peaking around corners. Use Tenten's mirrors.

>>42257782
> Detonate the fake tag from earlier and use it to glean answers from those nearby.

>>42257782
Just answer the one question. We know Kiba and Sasuke will get full scores, and it's unlikely a score of 21/30 is all that bad on a test designed for cheating.

>>42257782
try a fake tag that we placed earlier on someone to go boom into some confeti of some shit then use the moment to see someones test

>>42257782
Smoke bombs. Roll them a bit away from us so they don't originate from our location, but use enough that they'll cover most of the room. Then swap our test with someone else's and change the name.

>>42257740
>Have you heard of circular logic?

Apparently it works.

>>42257782
>Write in

Write nothing.

We already have a perfect score, so why ruin that with an incorrect answer?

>>42257782
Wait for someone to get called out before setting up a mirror system like tenten?

>>42257782
Don't cheat.

Just work on the first answer until times up.

Or pray to Haku to bring up ice mirrors to give you the answer.

>>42257804
This could work. She already did the hard part for us.

>>42257782
>>42257804
Seconding this.

>>42257825

Fake tags don't go boom 'cause they're fake

>>42257782
pocket mirror to read tenten's

>>42257827
>>42257837
Both these are good

>>42257837
>>42257856
>>42257871
>>42257875
Just be careful that if it casts a visible reflection, it's not put in a position that could get both of us busted.

>>42257782
>>42257804
Try the mirror to cheat off Tenten's layout, then drop a few smoke bombs or seventy to set up our own if we can't get a clear view without being obvious.

We put confetti in our fake tags because we make an effort, anon.

>>42257909
Agreed. But you gotta admit, it'd be funny as hell if Tenten saw us using her mirror, though.

>>42257942
Just smile then wink at her

>>42257942
I'm amused by the possibility of her finding out later.
"So, how'd you get your answers?"
"Cribbed off you."
"..."
"I have no shame."

>>42257993
Proctor would totally catch that.

In any event, we should thank her later.

You decide to take advantage of the system Tenten already set up. Taking out your pocket mirror, you try to orient it to see the answers without casting suspicion on either of you. You can't quite get it right, but one of Tenten's mirrors orients right where you need it.

Using the reflections, you're able to answer all nine of the questions.

Teams are disqualified one after another, until there are only fifteen minutes left.

"Alright, listen up!" Ibiki yells. "It's time for the tenth question. And this one has special rules. You can choose not to answer if you want, and walk out of here right now. Try again next year. But if you stay and answer the question wrong, you will be barred from taking the exam ever again!"

Most of the contestants in the room are shocked, some even outraged. It's a lot of pressure to put on your teammates.

"So what's it going to be?" Ibiki asks?

>A.Forfeit

>B.Stay silent

>C.Other

>>42258089
>B.Stay silent

>>42258089
>C. See what Kiba and Sasuke do, don't screw them over.

>>42258089
>C.Other
Can we give the thumbs up to Sasuke/Kiba or would we get in trouble for that?

>>42258089
Laze, you never said we had a pocket mirror. Rewrite this with information we're aware of.

>>42258089

dude we have bombs, kunais, shurikens and wires, why not a pocket mirror?

>>42258089
>>B.Stay silent

>>42258089
>B

>>42258089
Why didn't you go with the Fake Tag?

>>42258089
>B.Stay silent
Let's do it.

>>42258110
I don't tell you you have shuriken either, but you don't complain about that

Do I need to tell you you're wearing shoes? This is all standard stuff

>>42258089
>Groovy

>>42258110
We have all sorts of standard ninja implements. A pocket mirror is a pretty goddamn useful thing to have, so it's not unlikely we'd have it. We also have a large assortment of pre-woven wire/tag/kunai things so we can set up complex traps on the fly. He's given us literally free reign in that department.

>>42258089
>B.Stay silent
If Sasuke, Kiba, or any of Tenten's team decide to give up, interrupt with something like
>“Quitting now would mean betraying my team. No ninja worth anything would do that.”

Give everyone we don't know time to get cold feet.

>>42258146
Because we've never mentioned we had a pocket mirror before, it's a deus ex machina is what that is.

>>42258159
Ninjas don't usually have pocket mirrors. Do they even have mirrors in this setting?

>>42258146
actually better yet, we could've pulled out a kunai and have it used as the mirror

>>42258182
Tenten does.

>>42258182
Yes, and most COMMON ninjas would carry a pocket mirror for stealth ops. Ya know, that thing that most ninjas not in Orange jumpsuits do...

>>42258182
They have ice mirrors.

>>42258159
If mirrors are standard to ninja, why didn't the proctor immediately notice we were waving around a mirror in one hand? You need to start giving us some roll DCs for these risky write-ins instead of them working automatically.

>>42258182
you know even if we don't carry mirrors with us we could pretty much improvise with a kunai

>>42258159
We never went out and bought a pocket mirror, this is the first time mirrors have ever been brought up because we saw someone else using them. Why couldn't you just let us do something that's our own style?

>>42258089
"If the other villages actually gave you the authority to do that I will eat the hokage's hat."

>>42258205
At least one of them probably did. They only call people out who are too obvious about it too many times.

And let's be honest, they probably weren't expecting us to hijack someone else's cheating method.

>>42258182
>Do they even have mirrors in this setting?
This is what pushed SOD over the edge. You're trolling.

>>42258205
The proctor doesn't announce when they find cheaters, and you need to get caught five times to be kicked out.

>>42258229
Hah second.

>>42258229
I like it, but at least wait until some people start quitting.

>>42258205
>You decide to take advantage of the system Tenten already set up. Taking out your pocket mirror, you try to orient it to see the answers without casting suspicion on either of you.

rolls based on stats could be a thing tho, or not depending on Laze

>>42258229
Except they probably did.

>>42258253
that's actually pretty awesome

seconding this

>>42258257
They could have found out about Tenten's set up from what we were doing with our hands and took it down.

>>42258229
No need to bray like a jackass, we're not that bitter nor that confrontational.

>>42258269
Thank god we were fast enough then eh?

>>42258269
Why would they do that? The test is designed to get us to cheat.

>>42258089
Laugh. No words, just laugh.

We fought off Zabuza with a dagger on a rope on NO KEKKEI GENKAI HARD MODE, and this guy thinks he's being intimidating?

>>42258089
>B.Stay silent
These write-ins suck.

>>42258318
please see here
>>42258285
There's no need to make a scene.

How about we not draw attention to ourselves?
>C. Say nothing, look to see what Sasuke and Kiba do and follow suit. If they look to us, just shrug.

>>42258304
But is it also designed to blow people's covers by cheating poorly?

>>42258338
>>42258341
We stuck a fake bomb tag to one of the proctors' arms. The subtlety ship has sailed, docked, and disembarked.

In theory could we just stand up, walk over to someone and copy their sheet and it only count as 1 instance of cheating?

Like how do they gaige it? Duration spent being observed or instances of copying one person and then another ?

>>42258364
Dude, seriously, stop trying to game the rules.

>>42258192
She also has at least 5 of every weapon and tool in available, her having a mirror isnt that unlikely, although the fact that we've never really seen anyone have a pocket mirror does make it seem like a cop out

>>42258364
They probably basically weight it based on how subtle you are.

>>42258400
Just give it a fucking rest.

>>42258362
People don't shout in testing centers because of a need to not be subtle, it's to not look like a jackass.

>>42258089
>B.Stay silent

>>42258399
>>42258419
Literally just got here and caught up
>Stop it
>Give it a rest
well now im led to believe theres at least one other person who isnt a retard in here

Also we have nothing that will aid us in this so, we may very well lose here because we dont have any subtle means of observing people

The halarious part of the written test is that getting caught only costs you two points. theres nothing stopping you from standing up, walking over to someone else and reading their test paper. you would only loose two points and have all the answers

>>42258400
You got a better way to look around corners sneaky-like?

No, you don't, because it's the best way. Ergo, any ninja that stocks up on supplies for most of their shit would have one. Naruto didn't do this, Sasuke didn't do this, Sakura didn't do this. Tenten did.

>>42258460
We have already answered all of the questions but the last one, ass.

You stay silent. Left and right, genin opt to give up instead of risking it.

Sasuke and Kiba look resolute. They won't be giving up.

Eventually there are only around 60 contestants left. Ibiki addresses the room.

"Very well." he states. "As for all of you in this room, and the tenth question. You pass."

Everyone looks dumbfounded.

"The answer to the tenth question was simply to stay." Ibiki explains. At some incredulous outbursts, he goes further into the purpose of the test. About how you were meant to use your skills to gather information, and how the tenth question was supposed to represent a mission for which you had no information and had to decide to drive on regardless.

"You all pass this stage of the exam." Ibiki finishes. "Good luck on the next one."

As he says that, someone bursts in and a huge banner unfurls.

"Alright, maggots!" you hear. "I'm Anko Mitarashi, your proctor for the second stage of the exam, the survival portion! Your squad leaders will let you know where to go first thing tomorrow morning, for now, you're all dismissed!"

>A.Talk to someone

You decide to go over to your team and plan out what to stock up on for the next test. As you pass Tenten leaving, you thank her while flashing your pocket mirror. She just gives you a wink and continues on.

You and your team go out and buy all the supplies you think you can manage.

"How about we head to my Uncle's restaurant for dinner?" you ask. "Get a nice meal in before our test tomorrow?"

Kiba agrees right away, and you both manage to convince Sasuke.

Later, you're sitting around the table with your Uncle and teammates having a good time.

"So how about that test, guys?" you ask. "Did you see what some others were doing?"

"Hinata was no doubt using her byakugan." Sasuke states. "I believe I also saw Shino using a bug for something."

Kiba speaks next. "That Kankuro guy. He must have done something when he went to the bathroom. I think I also saw Sai do his painting jutsu thing."

You all go on talking about your potential competition. The three of you all talk for a good while, your Uncle enjoying the conversation. After some time, your teammates go home to get a good night's sleep. You do the same.

The next morning, all the competitors gather in front of a huge gated forest.

"Here we are." Anko explains. "Training area number 44. Known more colloquially as: The Forest of Death."

one sword for sausage and another for us

just noticed we got a katana

what we got is a common everday katana and i don't really think she'll really care since her parents own a weapon shop
