Things I came up with over the weekend in hype anticipation. Names are really terrible and gaudy, as a forewarning (maybe change the taijutsu thing to Thunder God's Drum?)

Karagowa Clan Rules!

Sponsored by Karagowa Noodles.
Seriously guys we need business.

After Gaara leaves, you all relax. Ino also manages to calm down after a couple of minutes. Asuma tells Choji that he's free to check out now, so Choji starts to get his things together.

"Well, it's pretty late in the afternoon already." Shikamaru comments. "So let's just head straight over to your place right now."

Ino and Haku seem to agree, and Asuma tells you all to have fun and stay out of trouble before heading to leave.

>A.Go straight home

>B.Do something else first

>C.Say something to Asuma before he leaves

>D.Other

>>42500756
It's time to... [Spoiler]Smoke[/spoiler] the competition

>>42500792
>C.Say something to Asuma before he leaves

"Thank you for helping stop this before it got too dangerous. And you're invited to my birthday party, if you'd like to attend."

YES YES YES time for the third best quest of my week

>>42500792
>A. "Noodle time! You guys mind if I go on ahead? I kinda mighta sorta maybe need to help him prepare for everyone showing up, especially since Choji's coming now."

>>42500811
Fuck it, let's invite the whole fucking village.

>>42500792
>C.Say something to Asuma before he leaves
You can come too if you want

Might be awkward but it could be nice

>>42500813
What are the other 2?

>>42500830
homeless mutant quest and spirit detective quest

Okay, so, Ninja way time.

There are alot of people who see it as their job to cause more suffering than they fix. They are bad people. We want to stop them, because nothing they do helps anyone.

We can also get very touchy about the honor of fighting and dying for the Leaf Village, because that's the way our parents went and it had to be worth it if they left me alone for it. Calling that kinda sacrifice worthless is our 'Do not touch' button.

Thoughts?

>>42500789

The first one sounds a lot like Hell Stab.

>http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Hell_Stab

>>42500792
>Thank Asuma. Before leaving. Invite him too! We have a smoker's section just for you!

>>42500882
I feel like Kon would realize it's far too early to devote himself to a ninja way just yet. He's still twelve, and most of the people that weren't Naruto or Sasuke didn't end up finding their true motivation until after the timeskip.

>>42500811
Ehh why not?

>>42500882
Sounds good. What people are willing to sacrifice themselves for should be taken seriously.

>homeless mutant quest

Pic related.

>Spirit Detective Quest

Is it that good?

Okay, so, guys, I had a thought. What if we go senjutsu and used our special chakra to turn the force behind impacts to our body into more chakra for us to use?

Also, Zabuza's sword. It might be possible to infuse the sword with chakra and make stopping and starting a swing of the weapon alot easier without causing any loss in force behind the weapon.

>>42500922
Iunno, he's had alot of time to be all gloomy about his parents death, be told they were heroes, and latch onto that in an effort to be okay with the fact that his parents are dead. He's a smart kid.

>>42500892
The difference is it can be done at extreme range.

>>42500792
>C.Say something to Asuma before he leaves
"You can come too...if you teach me a wind jutsu" proceed with shit eating grin.

>>42500940
I feel like his ninja way might have something to do with protecting people who aren't ninja and can't do all sorts of flashy bullshit.

>>42500940
>What if we go senjutsu and used our special chakra to turn the force behind impacts to our body into more chakra for us to use?

Sounds possible but quite dangerous, too.

Might be something we could try later on and with lots of supervision.

>>42500971
Except he killed Gato, who was a dick but also a non-combatant.

>>42500940
Senjutsu's still a long way away. Neat idea, though. Something to consider, certainly. The sword's also something a fair bit away from us being able to wield it, it's bigger and heavier than we are. Even with shockwave-boosted swings, wielding it is probably beyond us right now.

>>42500926
i think it's good the only bad part for me was the dark tournament arc where i felt there was no real danger or threat to anyone but john

>>42500986
Yeah, but Gato had a fucking army of Samurai. I feel like exceptions can be made.

>>42500789
Oh, I should probably mention that the Godhand thing from this was something Laze said we might be able to figure out while fighting Rock Lee

>>42501004

Oh shit, they actually do the Dark Tournament in the quest?

>>42501005
People in the series don't typically make exceptions to their ninja way like that. Plus, this one lets us fight folks who are dicks regardless of what they can do.

>>42500811
>>42500830

"Asuma Sensei." you call after him. "If you want, you can join us at my uncle's restaurant for my birthday party."

Asuma stops. "Well, your uncle's not a ninja, so I guess I could chaperon you guys. Why not? I'll tag along."

All of you leave the hospital and head to the restaurant. When you arrive Kiba and Tenten are already there, waiting anxiously so they can start on the delicious looking spread that your uncle has laid out.

"About time you got here!" Kiba laughs. Let's eat already!"

Everyone starts eating with gusto, congratulating you and making conversation.

Soon enough, two more figures walk in the building.

"Happy birthday, bro!" Konohamaru congratulates you, his grandfather behind him. He seems to be completely over the fact that he missed out on a month of training with his grandfather.

Everyone else looks over at the former Hokage in surprise, save for Asuma who just looks awkward.

"Wait, what?" Tenten stammers. "Why is the Third Hokage at your birthday party, Kon?"

>A.He trained me

>B.Make something up

>C.Don't answer

>>42501033

>>42501033
>B.Make something up

Don't lie, but just say something like "He's the Third, fairly certain he can go anywhere he wants."

Why do we need a specific ninja way? Can't we just be a fairly relaxed dude, that sometimes has to kill people that are dicks?

>>42501033
>A.He trained me

And say it really matter of factly. Like it's not at all a big deal.

>>42501033

Make it sound like its the most obvious thing in the world.

That wasn't the right picture. I'm sorry.

Oh, man, I bet Asuma was NOT expecting to see his dad here. Then again, maybe with Sarutobi not having come out of retirement in this timeline his relationship with his son is better and this is less awkward for them. I hope that's the case.

>>42501056
Has my vote.

>>42501033
>>A.He trained me
Kakashi was busy with Sasuke and he said he'd get a great teacher for me. Yeah that was my reaction as well.

>>42501081
No it isn't. It's just an excuse to occasionally give really lame speeches, which we don't need.

All the stuff you associate with a ninja way are just ideals, and to be honest the ideals you had when you were 12, are probably not the ideals you have now.

When are we going to walk into the Hokage's office and talk about how absolutely retarded it is to have giant faces carved into the mountainside next to a 'hidden' village?

>>42501162
>All the stuff you associate with a ninja way are just ideals
Exactly, ideals are really good character development, and we don't really know what Kon's are right now.

>>42501170
Never. Jiraiya doesn't like us nearly enough to let some random little shit walk into his office and start lecturing him. Besides, "hidden village" is just a name, Konoha's a pretty large city. The name's probably a holdover from when it first started, when Hashirama was just trying to make a safe place where the ninja could train and raise their families without everyone dying.

"We came because we were invited of course." the Third laughs.

You fistbump with Konohamaru. "Kakashi Sensei was busy training Sasuke this month, so he said he'd get me the best teacher he could find." you explain. "And man, did he ever."

All your peers are shocked, and start asking you tons of questions that you can't keep track of.

"I can't believe you'd actually go out of your way for individual training like that, dad." Asuma says. "Kakashi must have called in a whole lot of favors."

Everyone continues eating, and eventually settles down.

Tenten is currently asking the Third something, while Kiba and Konohamaru goof around. Ino and company are all still watching Choji eat, as he shows no signs of slowing, even though he just got out of the hospital.

You head over to Ino's group. Choji addresses you as you approach.

"Kon, your uncle's food is great!" Choji says between mouthfuls. "I need to come here more often."

"So you never told us the Third was your dad, Sensei." Shikamaru notes. "You'd think that would be something you'd mention."

"Well, we're not exactly close." Asuma answers. "Had a bit of a rebellious phase when I was younger and ran away. We're on a bit better terms these days, though."

Ino has been quiet this whole time, content to hang on Haku. Haku seems to be taking it in stride, as he's just listening to the conversation comfortably.

Sure it was. Tobirama definitely didn't make that up to make himself sound cooler when he realized that no one thought he was as impressive as his brother. He was well known for all that teleporting he did in fights, it's a big part of his reputation. Same thing with shadow clones, he loved using those.

You go up to Haku. "I haven't had much chance to talk these past couple of months. How are you doing? Adjusting well to life in Konoha?"

Haku smiles at you. "Very well, yes. The people are all so supportive. The Yamanaka family in particular has taken me in like I was one of their own. Inoichi has spent much of his time helping me find a place here, and I'm very grateful. Ino here has also been trying to make me feel welcome. She's always letting me help her out in the flower shop, or on errands."

Ino speaks up. "Haku's been helping me with my own therapy too. He's got such a gentle aura. Just being near him is enough to calm my heart." she sighs.

Can only suggest looking up Flying Thunder God Technique. That's what the Second and Fourth used, and they actually have nothing to do with Thunder itself, it's basically just teleportation shit. But it's in the series as a named thing, so I'd rather avoid using a similar name, unless we start teleporting ourselves.

"So it's kind of like the opposite of my technique then?" Tenten asks.

"You could say that." the Third goes on. "As opposed to summoning weapons to them, they reverse-summoned themselves to their weapons. They called it the Flying Thunder God technique."

"That is so cool!" Tenten's eyes sparkle.

Sarutobi Sensei turns to you. "Ah, Kon. Don't worry, I haven't given away any of your secrets to your competitor here." he laughs.

>>42502302
Speaking of which, smoke/flash bombs and clones using our unique nature are probably the best strategy: wear away at him, disorient him, and maybe stun him long enough with a close-proximity blast of Thunder to take him down.

And if it doesn't work, at least we had a solid plan.

"Sounds like you guys were talking about summoning." you say. "I was kind of interested in that myself."

"Well, we may just get a chance to practice it yet, Kon." the Third responds. "My schedule is usually fairly open."

"Could I reverse summon other people?" Tenten asks.

"You could, so long as you put a seal on them." Sarutobi Sensei answers. "But that's not really something you could make use of in the battles tomorrow."

"Speaking of which." you turn to Tenten. "How do you feel about your match with Saukra tomorrow?"

"She's seen one of my best tricks, so I'm actually a bit nervous." Tenten replies. "I might have to improvise, so who knows how that will play out. But I'll try my best!"

We do have clones, but our training with the nature release we've got has been left vague. So I think we're being encouraged to improvise.

I'll agree that the training was rather hamfisted, but I haven't completely given up hope.

So, guys.

We're gonna visit our parent's memorial before the fight, right?

>>42502556
Holy shit you're right we should totally do that.

>>42502516
These wind blades would make us into someone they send to kill small squads of chunin

>>42502556
Yes. We have to. Guys please, let's do this.

>>42502556

Fucking great idea.

>>42502570
Imagine all the crazy shapes we can make using the Kyoketsu-Shoge

>>42502556
I'd rather do that after the exams

>>42502556
That's a death flag right there. If we're gonna do that it'd have to be if we got to the final match against Gaara.

>>42502599
But anon.

Invasion.

Also, it'd be nice to do that before the exams. "I hope you're proud of me. I'm gonna be a Chunin, I promise."

And then we see Hinata there. As per Canon.

You head over towards Kiba and Konohamaru. Konohamaru is playing with Akamaru while Kiba watches them.

"How was your month without the team, Kiba?" you ask.

"Oh dude, it was so boring." Kiba groans. "I did some training with my family occasionally, but without you guys I had so little motivation. I mostly ended up taking it easy like Kakashi Sensei suggested."

You talk a bit more, but soon enough everyone begins to head out. You say your goodbyes, and are wished luck before you say goodnight to your uncle and head upstairs to get a good night's sleep before the big day.

The next morning, you wake up feeling good. You notice however, that you slept in and there's only an hour until the competition.

You grab a snack to eat on the way, and head off running.

You head off in the opposite direction of the arena, confident that you're fast enough to go somewhere else first.

In a few minutes, you arrive. You're at the memorial for Leaf ninja killed in action. Both of your parent's names are on here. You've visited several times before, but this time is different. You feel like you really know them now. Not to mention your trial today.

You are in a hurry though, so you quickly pay your respects and leave.

By the time you get to the arena, you have only a couple of minutes left. All the other competitors are lined up on the field. Except for Sasuke that is, who is suspiciously absent.

>A.Ask about him

Hmm with the Uchihas still being alive, seeing one fight probably isn't as much of a draw. Which could mean he just gets disqualified rather than them moving the matches around.

>>42502981
>>42503007

On one hand, our Sauske doesn't brood quite as much as canon sasuke, but on the other hand, this is too funny to pass up, so this gets my vote.

>>42502949
>B.Just take your place

>>42503024
I always wondered if that was maybe Kakashi's plan. Get Sasuke disqualified, keep him from having to fight Gaara. It would piss him off, but he at least wouldn't be crushed to death in sand.

>>42502949
>>42502981
This.

This is it, guys.

I propose we rush up the wall, leap off it with a body flicker, using our special Chakra to get some extra Oomph, then throw down Kunai with wire and tags all along the wire at Lee. He'll be rushing towards wherever we're gonna land, so if we detonate while he's only halfways towards us we should catch him in it.

>>42503090

We don't know body flicker.

>http://pastebin.com/UnPKxi2q

>>42503140
Body Flicker is a component of the Substitution Jutsu. As we know Substitution, we know Body Flicker.

>>42503140
but we have speed 4.0

IIRC we can pull that since we have mastery over the basics

You take your place. Next to you, Shikamaru speaks up. "Hey, what's up with Sasuke?"

"He's probably off doing Sasuke things, as usual." you answer.

Hayate speaks up. "We're about to start, so stand up straight."

You do so, and notice the huge crowd filling the stands. They'll all be watching the matches.

Jiraiya steps forward. "Welcome everyone to the Village Hidden in the Leaves. We will now begin the Chunin Selection Exam. Ten candidates have made it to this final round, so enjoy the matches."

"Alright, the rules are the same as the preliminary elimination round. Everyone besides Rock Lee and Kon Karagowa please go to the waiting area." Hayate instructs.

They do so, leaving you and Lee facing each other.

>A.Wish him luck

>B.Stay silent

>C.Other

>>42503090
No body flicker. Our best strategic decision would probably involve smoke and flash grenades to cover for/set up stunning clones (assuming we're allowed to use our nature that way), and the substitution to swap our real body with the clone if and when he figures out.

The kyoketsu-shige is probably a mistake here, as he's much stronger than us. We were explicitly warned against using it in exactly this sort of situation, though that won't stop anons from pushing it hard.

Better idea
W create wind blades and rush him with them and thanks to our speed and close taijutsu he should be unable to hit us
Then when he is close to us after dodging one of our attacks and getting into our guard we release shockwave to stun him and then knock him out
Oh wait!
We don't have fucking wind blades!

Open up with flash bangs, follow up with smoke grenades. Use the cover to cover the area in explosive traps, take care to not let them stand out. Use speed and Kyoketsu-Shoge to keep distance, MAKE SURE TO MEMORIZE WHERE THE MINES ARE

>>42503213

No, we can create a single wind blast thing around us, that's different from what that anon won't stop bitching about.

>>42503342
its vacuum wave mate

we pretty much shoot out a wave of wind in shape of a blade, pretty good mid range cleaner since we can spin while using it to make it an AoE

>>42503373
No, Wind Release: Vacuum Wave is a ranged wind blade. I don't know what that guy thinks it is. The "around us" part just means that we can use it as an omnidirectional attack.

"Good luck." you tell Lee.

He nods. "To you as well, Kon. I hope this will be a great match."

"First round: first match, begin!" Hayate announces as he jumps back.

You quickly put down some smoke bombs to obscure Lee's vision as he takes off with all the speed you saw before. He must have come with the weights off to start this time.

Do this while backpeddling at an off angle so he doesn't catch us by going straight forward. We want to dely and to set up the arena as much as possible. The more shenannigans we have set up, the better.

Also, we should keep our bloodline in reserve. Secret weapon style.

>>42503416
>B.Lay some traps

>>42503431
And what's more, Kakashi never checked in to see how our training was going. I mean, maybe he talked with Sarutobi, but we didn't get a chance to show off and that makes me sad.

>>42503416
>F.Other
Create a clone and use the cover to fall back. If we're permitted to add our release to that clone, do so and be ready to exploit the opening. If not, we've created distance and allowed ourselves to work from cover.

>>42503416
>B.Lay some traps

Lay wire with explosive tags, to negate his speed, or force him into a particular area on the arena.

Slowing him down even a little will be immensely helpful.

If we throw Kunai with tags and keep them attached to us via wired, we can make as many trip mines as we want in seconds. Which is the idea.

Throw some stuff out to buy us more time to lay traps.

>>42501952
What program is this?

I wonder if lying to him and saying we already put a tag on his back before the match began will stop him long enough to land a hit on him? I'm sure we're allowed this deception once the match begins, after all.

Does Lee have his speed on 4.0 or 3.5, can't remember his stats in this part

You start throwing out tagged kunai and wires all across the arena. Not so much to actually hit him, but to control his movement a bit.

As he approaches, you throw more kunai to delay him, which he just dodges fairly easily.

Soon, the field is swarmed with traps, but Lee is almost right up on you. He's deftly avoided all the traps you've set up so far, and advanced up to you. You need to do something immediately or you're about to get pummeled.

Just swap out for an explosive log. We don't NEED to get hit.

>>42503710
Supporting this trap. Goddamn, Lee won't know what hit him.

>>42503778
changing this vote to this:>>42503710

Because it is so much more tactical, and exactly how we should play this. The only problem is if Lee doesn't open with the Primary Lotus, but every canon fight I can think of in this time frame, it is his opening move.

>>42503710
This

>>42503808
But getting hit will throw him off. When he's got his wrappings around an explosive log in mid air, it'll be harder for him to get away than if he's on the ground.

>>42503710
Except who says he's going for the primary lotus? For now all we've done is throw kunai out. Nothing that necessitates that.

>>42503710
>>42503679
This seems like a good idea.

Why not just read the thread?

>>42503854
We talked to people at our birthday party, now we're fighting Lee.

>>42503710
This is a terrible idea. I don't think we're fast enough to get out of the Primary Lotus mid-air, even with a substitution. Besides, what if he's just kicking us like normal? He does that. A lot.

>>42503854
We're in the process of throwing a fight because /tg/ can't resist retardation.

>>42503843
Because there's no point hiding the Primary Lotus. Everyone's seen it.

>>42503854
We had our birthday party and chatted with most people. We went to our parent's grave/memorial before going to the Chunin Exams. Sasuke was late, and we started the fight with Lee.

>>42503878

>>42503891
Wait, why are we throwing a fight now? Did we get good for nothing?

>>42503843

In the canon fights of this era, Lee always goes for the primary Lotus, usually right out the gate.

Lee challanging Sasuke before the exams? He kicks him into primary lotus but is stopped by Gai.

Forest of death vs sound genin? Primary Lotus.

vs gaara? This is the only time he doesn't open with the primary lotus, but that is because first he is testing the sand, as makes sense with the single most dangerous nin in the exams. Kon is decent, but nothing Gaara tier.

He even opens with the Primary Lotus kick vs whatshisface the freaky bone dude, but his wierd ass bone rib spikes block it.

>>42503919
Because people want to be "clever" instead of doing things that work.

>>42503893
So he's going to use a move that's almost as dangerous to him as the opponent as an opener just because everyone's seen it already? That doesn't make much sense. Far simpler and better to just replacement out if the first guy for now. Than take hits for a theoretical.

>>42503919
People are suggesting we get hit by the Lotus deliberately as part of a "strategy".

>>42503919
We aren't. He just doesn't agree with the course we're taking right now. We're basically taking a risk (and a hit) to try to conserve our trump card a little longer.

You make your hand signs and prepare your jutsu. As Lee approaches, he takes note and tries to juke around and attack from behind you, but it's no use.

You take a deep breath and start spinning. "Wind Release: Vacuum Wave!" You exhale and blades of wind surround you. They cut at Lee and push him back, surprised.

Lee has to land on his hands to narrowly avoid one of your tags.

"A wind technique?" Lee asks. "That is definitely new. I will have to work much harder!"

He reorients himself as you stop spinning. He takes off again, but slower this time, avoiding all of your traps.
