A few minutes before your hit time, you arrive at the village gates, prepared for your mission.

You see Guy Sensei, Lee, Kakashi Sensei, Neji, and one more person you don't recognize. It's a man with brown hair, and a headpiece that frames his face. As you approach, Neji and the man walk over to greet you.

"Captain, this is Kon Karagowa." Neji tells the man, before turning to you. "Kon, this is my direct superior, Captain Tenzo."

"Nice to meet you, Kon." Tenzo says as he shakes your hand. "Neji has quite a high opinion of you, so I look forward to seeing you in action. I'll be leading the sealing team, who should all be here in a matter of minutes."

As Tenzo finishes, two figures approach. It's Iruka Sensei and Anko, who is holding their son. Guy Sensei is the first one to comment.

"So this was it, huh? Color me surprised." Guy smirks. "I had seen you around in the last few months, but I thought you had just gained weight from eating too much dango."

As Guy chuckles to himself, Anko's eyes close and her smile goes wide.

"Yeah, keep laughing Guy." she says in a calm voice. "You're lucky I'm holding this kid, or I'd be strangling you right now."

Iruka tries to defuse the situation by quickly changing the subject, while the others just continue waiting.

>A.Talk to somebody

>B.Just wait for the sealing team

>C.Other

>>43109955
>C. Adore the baby! Guy is making a giant sacrifice and doesn't have much choice in it.

>>43109955

>>43109955
>A. Chat with Neji, we haven't chat much since Shukaku. Introduce him to Lee, if they haven't met.

>>43109955
>A.Talk to Iruka
"So... your name was Iruka, right?"

"Are you both coming along?"

>>43109955
>>A.Talk to Kakashi and/or Tenzo or Neji about the ANBU and recommendations, since they are high level shinobis and stuff

>>43109955
>A.Talk to somebody
talk to Tenzo we need to know about capabilities and defensive plans against akatsuki for before and after sealing

>>43109955
>C. Volunteer to hold the baby for Anko. Gush over how cute it is. Try to play it off when people look at you oddly. Fail.

>>43109955
>C.Other
any way we could prep something baby shaped covered in cloth in case akatsuki, it might be a good idea to have a high quality decoy

>>43109955

Talk to the baby. It may be the most professional person here.

>>43109955
>C. Give everyone an Impact chakra tag. We've got enough to give everyone one, right?

>>43110032
Supporting. This is a A-Rank or S-Rank mission, we can play with the baby later. We are the least experienced shinobi in this mission, we need to be more prepared than everyone else.

>>43109955
>B.Just wait for the sealing team

>>43110032
>>43110107
>>43110117

Managing to avoid being distracted by the baby for now, you approach Tenzo to go over the important topic of security.

"Captain, what measures do we have in place in the event that Akatsuki shows up?" you ask.

"Neji's byakugan should fare you well during the battle." Tenzo starts. "If the Akatsuki try to swipe the beast out from under you, he'll have plenty of warning. And Iruka here will be performing a genjutsu for the entirety of this mission obscuring the kid. They won't be able to pull a fast one on us, so if they show up, we'll know about it long in advance. Plus I'm confident we have enough manpower here to fight off the Akatsuki if they do show up. Though back to back fights with a tailed beast and an S rank criminal ninja may get hairy. You think you're up to it?"

>A.I can handle it

>B.Sounds like a bit much for me

>C.We have several strong ninja here, together we can pull through

>D.I don't think we're prepared enough

>E.Other

We could mabye use the Akatski to weaken the beast for us and when its weak swoop in, sealing team seals, combat team fresh and having seen the Akatski fight fights the now slightly weakened akatski...just trying to think like an ANBU

>>43110308
>C.We have several strong ninja here, together we can pull through
Jiraiya had a point.

>>43110308
>C.We have several strong ninja here, together we can pull through

>>43110308
>A.I can handle it
And if I can't, well
>C.We have several strong ninja here, together we can pull through

Man, is this mission going to aggravate Sasuke's inferiority complex, though. "Yeah, your brother personally picked me to be part of a team fighting the seventh strongest creature on the planet while simultaneously being attacked by S-Rank missing nin. No big deal." Here's hoping Jiraiya manages to fix his issues some while they're away.

>>43110308
>C.We have several strong ninja here, together we can pull through

>>43110308
>E. "I don't think we're prepared enugh, but then I don't think we'll ever be. Could really use Sasuke watching my back, no offense."

>>43110308
linking to >>43110312 that way they are caught in the middle fight instead. we have the numbers like you said, swoop in there and seal the beast. Put a return seal on the kid, even with a demon in it it would have bugger all chakra from the capture making to easy to teleport, all we'd need to do is seal and boom, vip is back at base and we can focus entirely on our foes remaining

>>43110308
>C.We have several strong ninja here, together we can pull through

>>43110308
>>A.I can handle it
>D.I don't think we're prepared enough
I don't think any genjutsu is going to fool a Akatsuki member for long. Kakashi-sensei and Gai are mainly offensive shinobis, and Neji will be our watcher. Maybe you and i should be a "defense" team, and protect the subject until we have secured the bijuu. What do you think?

>>43110308
>>D.I don't think we're prepared enough
"But we're as close as we're going to get."

>>43110312
>>43110308
Ooh, this sounds good. Adding this to my idea >>43110397.

>>43110397
I'll second this. Clear sstructure, helps us be defensive.

>>43110523
make it clear this is an idea we dont know all their skills and they may be more apropriate

>>43110325
>>43110347
>>43110353
>>43110360
>>43110376

You look around at the team that's been assembled. You and Neji have already proven your mettle against a tailed beast before, and you can vouch for Lee's strength as well. You know Kakashi Sensei is strong, but you haven't even seen the full extent of his power. And Guy Sensei is supposed to be his equal.

"We could stand to be a bit more prepared." you start. "But we've got several strong ninja here. I think together we can pull through."

"Oh, you bet." Tenzo laughs. "And we can always hope Akatsuki doesn't show up, right? The three tails did just revive a few days ago, after all. Maybe they aren't ready."

The rest of the sealing team soon approaches, and the entire group takes off to the East. As you go, Kakashi Sensei talks to you.

"Kon, I want to know where you think you'll be most effective in this battle." he says. "The others all have clear roles, but you're a bit more versatile. Lee and Guy will be heavy offense while Neji and I cover them from counterattacks, but you could fill a couple of different roles. What is it that you think you'll do best?"

>A.I'll be able to do a lot of damage from a range

>B.I can cover them, Sensei. You should focus on offense

>C.I'll join Lee and Guy Sensei up close

>D.Other

>>43110613
>>A.I'll be able to do a lot of damage from a range

>>43110613
>>B.I can cover them, Sensei. You should focus on offense

>>43110613
>>B.I can cover them, Sensei. You should focus on offense
Not sure how much damage we'll actually be able to do to a bijuu. Our best utility here is on defence.

>>43110613
>A.I'll be able to do a lot of damage from a range

We've got our beam and explosive tags, and frankly Neji and Kakashi can see shit better than we can to intervene.

>>43110613
>D. See >>43110397

>>43110365
>>43110312

>>43110613
>A. Heavenly lance mother fucker.

>>43110613
Im more pin point stuff, however with my move set how about I fill in the gaps, there are 5 of us, 2 on offense, 2 on defense, ill start on defense but move up to the attack team if they are having a hard time or for some reason if we are pressed for it.

Any idea of the enviroment, because if this beast stays underwater, I'd be a hard count just slamming impact blast into it.

(this is true fighting water based foe especially underwater would be to our advantage we are effectively a depth charge spewing machine with lighting bolts to. Any concussive attacks would be amplified as fuck.

>>43110613
>D.Other
Stay at the middle. Cover from a shorter distance, but use our speed to move to the front if we have to.

>>43110397
Actually, Kakashi is really good at genjutsu, too. He's literally the most versatile jonin in the village.

>>43110613
we should hand out the impact tags for use against Akatsuki, they should be unexpected and give a very slight advantage

>>43110736
However, Iruka will be performing the genjutsu, not Kakashi. Against Akatsuki members.

>>43110613
>B.I can cover them, Sensei. You should focus on offense
Demon Wall can be scaled to any threat, it's great defense. Meanwhile, Heavenly Lance isn't going to be very useful against the Three Tails. It's meant for pinpoint attacks against vital organs and the Three Tails...well, I'm not sure if it actually has vital organs. Best to stick to what we know will work.

>>43110856
since the nine tails once eat some dudes and pooped them out pretty sure they do. Also depth charges people, we are literally an underwater fighters worst nightmare

>>43110636
>>43110672
>>43110705

You think over your options. You could guard the others effectively, but you may not be able to react as fast as Neji or Kakashi Sensei.

"I think I can deal the most damage at range." you say. "I'll hang back and use Impact attacks when I can get an opening. It may be especially effective in the water."

"Sounds good." Kakashi replies. "The water will be one of our opponents in this fight. We'll have to find a way to keep the beast where we can reach it. If you can force it out, we'll have a much easier time."

As a precautionary measure against Akatsuki, you distribute your Impact tags to the other team members to use in the event that Akatsuki does show up. It should work as a surprise and buy you a bit of time.

After a few day's travel, the group comes upon a lake.

"Here we are." Tenzo tells you. "The sealing team is going to start setting everything up, and pull security. You guys just need to weaken the tailed beast and get it in a position that I can seal it."

You, Lee, Guy Sensei, Neji, and Kakashi Sensei head to the water's edge.

"Well, Kon." Kakashi addresses you. "I think you're most qualified to lure it out. Go ahead and use your release."

>A.Right away

>B.I think there's a better way to do this

>C.Maybe it would be worth observing the beast first

>D.Other

>>43110899
All that proves is that it has an alimentary canal. No clue if there are actual organs in there or if it's just a tube of flesh running through its body. I know that in the anime the Three Tails swallows Naruto and Gurren, but what we see inside it hardly resembles a real stomach. It's a completely alien biology that exists more as a physical manifestation of a spirit than as a real organism, I'm not sure we can make assumptions. And given how durable the Tailed Beasts are I'd expect that even if they do have organs they're massively redundant and the single small hole that Heavenly Lance pokes wouldn't be able to do anything. Trying to pulp its insides with shockwaves might work better, but again, this thing is ridiculously durable. I'd rather not risk it failing and just do what we know will work.

>>43110980
>C.Maybe it would be worth observing the beast first

>>43110980
>Maybe I should summon a monkey before we wake up a giant beast? Enma would take too much energy, but the three genjutsu monkeys would be helpful.

Or Mask monkey. I wanna try his personal mask on and see if we transform into him.

>>43110980
>C.Maybe it would be worth observing the beast first

>>43110980
>>C.Maybe it would be worth observing the beast first
If it's not actively hostile and rampaging, we may be able to avoid out-and-out combat.

>>43110980
>C.Maybe it would be worth observing the beast first
"After all, we know nothing of its offensive capabilities. Just walking up and poking it with an Impact stick sounds like a bad idea."

>>43110980
Since we are ambushing it, Heavenly Lance it in its centre of mass, water would boost the effectiveness and given its got a shell that too would boost the effectivness, then theres the fast we took it by suprice. This attack would be brutal to it

We need to do this before the Akatski or other Ninja get here, we are technically stealing a tailed beast after all, we need to do this quick, in and out

>>43111031
Ooh, idea! If the monkeys can indeed teach us senjutsu, we should get Sarujizo to be out nature chakra-gathering partner like Ma and Pa Toad were to Jiraiya. But instead of him sitting on our shoulders, he could turn into a mask that we wear. That would be cool.

>>43111162
I was thinking the three genjutsu ninkeys woulds teach us by diverting all our senses away and making us more attune to nature gathering.

Sarujizo would also help too. I imagine we'll be making masks of our own after learning from him.

Unless thats some...monkey bloodline release.

>>43111162
Tailed beast don't use techniques they just "do" stuff, no need for "casting it" if u will, though that is a kick ass idea

>>43110980
>D. Put your hand in the water, use a bit of impact chakra to send a pulse through the entire water body.

>>43111264
The Nine-Tails used "Spear of Heaven."

>>43111264
What? No, I'm talking about the monkey summons, not the Four Tailed Monkey. Summons use jutsu like humans do, though some have unique abilities of their own (Katsuyu comes to mind).

>>43110980

You imagine that if you forced the beast out, it would immediately start rampaging.

"Maybe it would be worth observing the beast first." you insist. "After all, we have no idea what it's capable of."

"We're on a timeline here, but we can wait a few hours and see if it emerges." Kakashi responds. "If it does, we might be able to formulate a better battle plan."

The five of you wait, and after a few hours, the beast rises from the lake. It's a giant turtle-like creature with a shell covered in spikes. It has three shimp-like tails, and short stubby limbs.

"I think attacks against its shell may prove ineffective." Kakashi says. "Lee, Guy, you should focus your attacks on its more vulnerable extremities. Now, we could ambush it, or lure it into attacking to see exactly what we're up against."

Let's see if we can take out its other eye, give it a matching set. Hopefully it won't retain the wound like Gyuki did his broken horn, though. Don't want to give Taiyaki a crippled Tailed Beast.

>>43111377
Once again, the tougher the shell is the more dangerous a concussive blow would be, I say we blast it in one open eye while its vunrable, that would A) hurt like hell, B) cause reverberations down into its skull and C) briefly blind it letting Lee and Guy get close

The shell looks hard, but you've always been able to count on your release to push through. Now may be the best chanc you get to lay a solid hit on the beast.

"Let's ambush it." you insist. "I'll take a shot right now."

"Go for it." Kakashi replies. "Lee, Guy, get ready with those gates. We're going to need to lay on the damage as fast as possible once it's alert."

Kakashi Sensei moves his headband to reveal his sharingan, while Neji activates his byakugan. Lee and Guy start to open the inner gates in preparation too.

You charge up as much chakra that you can get in one attack, and fire at the beast, aiming for its one open eye. It hits its mark, and the beast howls in rage. Its cries actually are strong enough to push against you, and they manage to fell some smaller trees. Lee and Guy immediately take off, with Neji and Kakashi following. Which leaves you to decide your next move.

Good thing Kurotsuchi helped us figure out how to project our shields at range.

Just a though in theory we could use tiny shields as steps, literally letting us run in the air, take a step, shield under foot, next step repeat having them fade behind us.

You said that you'd hang back and attack when you can get an opening, but you can't help but feel you're better suited for defense.

As Lee and Guy pummel the tailed beast, it shoots giant blasts of water. Before Neji or Kakashi can divert them, you use your Impact barrier to stop the attacks. The water hits the barrier and disperses, and you can put the barrier down again fairly quickly, limiting the amount of chakra lost. Upon seeing this, Kakashi decides to switch roles on the fly, and starts using lightning jutsu on the beast, with the water as a conductor. In this way, the five on you are able to wail on the beast unabated for a while.

Eventually with a great roar, the beast curls up into a sphere. It rolls straight out of the lake and jumps back, headed straight for your group.

I think walking on air would take too much focus to use practically, but jumping from barrier to barrier might be viable.

You quickly conjure a barrier large enough to block the giant beast. As it hits your barrier, you can feel the incredible force of its attack. You burn through a massive amount of chakra to slow its momentum. At the moment you give out, Lee and Guy rush toward the beast as your barrier falls.

"Five Gates Double Dynamic Entry!"

The beast is knocked back to the shore, and flails for a bit before pillars of wood rise out from the ground surrounding it.

"I've got it!" you hear Tenzo yell. "You guys just need to keep it from struggling too much while we seal it!"

The others head over to where the beast lies. You feel a bit light headed from using so much chakra. It's taking all your focus just to keep yourself on top of the water.

>>43112204

We might not have much chakra left, but you know what we do have? Lots of explosives. Use those to still be able to fight while we're waiting for our chakra to recover.

>>43112204
>>B.I'm no use as I am, I'll sit out
Learn from last time.
If it becomes absolutely necessary, we can step in. Until then, try to save energy.

>B
Hold back for now, recover what energy we can, in theory we have used the most chakra out of everyone, so rest for a few moments, if Akatski show up us being utterly spent is no good.

>>43112204
>>B.I'm no use as I am, I'll sit out
We've been through this before.

>>43112204

>>43112262
i concur, maybe we can sit back at range and throw some explosives since that does not use chakra

>>43112204

It doesn't take much effort to throw explosive tags. Let's get back to our roots, use a low-impact (ha, puns!) attack style.

For fucks sake rest, we're not naruto bullshit chakra reserves uzumaki

we should recognize our limits and recoup what Chakra we can while we can.

>>43112317
In our defense, the reason we kept pushing ourselves to do everything before was that our team mates weren't nearly as strong as we were, so the only way to get things done against our ridiculously opponents was for us to handle everything (and even then it wasn't enough, our opponents are way OP). But we're with actually competent people now, we can afford to hang back. And maybe request to be on a team with them instead of getting put back with Kiba and Sasuke when he comes back.

>>43112360
nah, ANBU teams are not constants, they are assembled like mixed parts for a specific function. Our team are our comrades and brothers, in the ANBU there is only the mission

Cuz they don't work well together with each others ups and downs and go fucking solo

You decide to rest and regain what chakra you can. The others are perfectly capable of taking it from here, and pushing yourself too hard may just put you at unnecessary risk.

You head to shore and watch from a distance as the others keep the tailed beast in place.

Tenzo's sealing technique seems to be a Wood Release jutsu, which is strange. You've never heard of someone having that besides the First Hokage.

Eventually, the seal is ready.

"Hokage Style Elder Jutsu: Tenth Edict on Enlightenment!"

A character appears on Tenzo's hand, and a band of chakra extends from it. The chakra reaches the tailed beast, who stops attempting to struggle. At this point, the rest of you watch as the sealing is performed, and the tailed beast disappears into the body of the small child.

Lee and Guy are totally beat, and Kakashi seems to have worked up quite a sweat himself. After resting, you feel alright, and Neji seems to still be in good condition as well.

"I'm impressed yet again, Kon." Neji says to you. "Your techniques have proven to be a match for these beasts time and again. It's a good thing you were here, wasn't it?"

>A.This was a team effort

I'm flattered, really I am but its not over yet we need to get out of here now, enemies could be closing in as we speak. Lets chat once we are in the village.

You can't help but feel you're getting too much praise. You didn't fight this beast on your own, after all.

"This was a team effort." you tell Neji. "Besides, the mission isn't over. We may have another fight coming yet."

"True." Neji replies. "I have seen no sign that anyone at all has observed us yet, but we have to keep alert on the way back to the village."

As the sealing team wraps up, Anko and Iruka head over to you, holding the new Jinchuuriki.

"Can you believe it?" Anko asks. "First time I saw you, you were some no name punk getting sent in way over his head in the Chunin exams. Now, you're fighting giant monsters and helping seal them in my son. Hell, even last year when I saw you, I couldn't have imagined anything like this happening."

"You're telling me!" Iruka laughs. "Back at the academy, you could have sworn Kon here would grow up to be a standard rank and file ninja. Boy did he prove everyone wrong! Really, great job. I'm proud to have had you as my student. Neji, Lee. You too. You've become splendid ninja. Thank all of you."

You're faced with yet more praise, despite the fact that you all still need to make the trip back safely.

"No need to thank me, Sensei. We're not out of the woods yet." you say.

"I know, I know." Iruka says. "I just can't help but get excited when I see my former student's progress. Don't worry, we're making the trip back on full alert."

One more thing has been bugging you about this whole thing.

"How do you two actually feel about this situation?" you ask. "Having a tailed beast sealed into your son couldn't have been easy."

Anko and Iruka's faces get more solemn.

"Of course, it'd be great if we didn't have to." Anko starts. "But it's our duty to the village, and his. I wasn't just going to push it off to some other parent's kid."

"That's not all." Iruka adds. "The nine tails Jinchuuriki, Naruto. It's all of our fault that he was led astray. I thought a lot about how things might have been different, if only someone had cared. This may be all I can do to make up for that mistake. Make sure our child is raised with love, and doesn't have to go through the same thing."

Kakshi walks over. "Is everyone ready? We're leaving."

Your group takes off back toward the village. Over the few days the trip takes, you manage to run into no one. Against what seems to be all odds, Akatsuki is nowhere to be seen. You all arrive at the village gates unmolested.

It was obviously a possibility that you wouldn't encounter the Akatsuki, but you still can't believe it.

"That was way too easy." you say, as your group walks through the village gates. "There's no way Akatsuki wasn't up to something."

"Doesn't look like it." Tenzo replies. "The Jinchuuriki is still here, and the seal is still strong. It's a mission accomplished."

"There's no evidence that Akatsuki knows about this little excursion at all." Neji adds. "This entire trip, I didn't see anyone that might have been spying on us."

"Looks like they just weren't ready." Tenzo says. "They did just finish with a mission in the same area. They probably weren't expecting to have to go back so soon. Just relax. You all did a good job."

"So what now?" you ask. "Is that it?"

"That's it." Kakashi answers. "Unless you want to do the report in my place."

Well, you don't have anything else to do right now. Getting debriefed may even help you calm down.

"Sure, I'll take care of it Sensei." you say.

"Really?" Kakashi responds in surprise. "Alright then, I'll leave it to you, Kon."

Everyone heads their separate ways, and you go to the Hokage's office. Inside, you see Itachi as usual.

"Kon? You came in place of Kakashi?" the Sixth asks. "That's unexpected. Did something happen?"

You assure that everything is fine. A bit too fine perhaps. After giving your report, the Hokage leans back in his chair.

"It just works that way sometimes, Kon." Itachi tells you. "As you get stronger, and work with stronger people, you'll get missions where things seem to be too easy. But you can't begrudge those times. They are a rare luxury. You all did a good job, thank you for the report. Will there be anything else?"

>>C.There was something I wanted to talk to you about
Have you heard anything amiss from the other jinchuuriki? The three tails was a big target. If Akatsuki missed it, then they were probably going after someone or something else.

>>43114247
Sir, I'm aware that I seen to have done well lately but I feel i'm not reaching my utmost potential, Do you know a way I could keep building experiance, but have time to develop my techniques, because of my release I have to build from scratch.

We may have an interesting advantage here, if the Akatski do not know we sealed the tailed beast it may take a while to figure out where it in fact is. Who would expect us to have claimed it so quick. If they find us to fast it may mean we have someone working with them from here....

Something that you had been pondering comes to the front of your mind.

"There was something I wanted to talk to you about, Lord Hokage." you say. "I feel like I need to do more dedicated training. Konohamaru and I have been told that we can go to the Mountain of Fruits and Flowers for training under King Enma once we can summon him consistently. I wanted to clear it with you, on the chance that I got the opportunity."

"Hmm." the Hokage thinks to himself. "Though I'd like to keep you around to do more missions, I don't want to stunt your potential. If you so desire, you and Konohamaru can have the time until Sasuke returns to train. There are other opportunities for you to gain skill, though. You don't have to just up and leave. If you really want to do this particular training though, I'll concede."

This, bring all our stats to atleast 2.5 that ain't that high and in theory should not take that long. Make it clear to Itachi that if he has any mission however they are the priority, after all we are first and foremost a leaf Ninja, that comes before our own pride

>>43114586
>D.Other
"Well, that doesn't really give me much time, considering that we have yet to gain that level of skill with the summoning technique. By the time we can leave we'd only have a few months before Sasuke's return. I suppose I'll just stay here, then."

>>43114689

>>43114637

>>43114745
A skill level of 2.5 is pretty meh, im saying bring those up to at least an acceptable level then specialize all we want. When we spec, we can stack Speed, Intelligence and Ninjutsu

>>43114637

Until Sasuke gets back. That gives you a bit less than a year. You and Konohamaru still have to improve your summoning skill. You may only have a few months.

"Thank you, Lord Hokage." you say. "But it may take some time before Konohamaru and I are ready. Until then, I want to train under more people and improve my weak areas."

"Of course." Itachi replies. "You can always continue your training under Kakashi, or ask any of the other Jonin instructors for help. If you ask, maybe Tsunade might be willing to assist you. There is no shortage of people to learn from in this village. Regardless, take all the time you need. For now, you're dismissed. Go home and get some rest."

>>43114970
He suggested her because she is totally available to train people. And we won't know if she'd be willing to take us on unles we ask her. The worst she can say is no.

Ill vote for checking out Tsunade, we already have good chakra control and I think with her help we could defiantly get stronger while learning some basic first aid at the very least.

>>43115010

>>43115012
Oh, sorry, I must have missed that. I still don't want to go to her for training, though. I'd rather not split her attention from Sakura, girl needs all she can get. I admit there's also some self-sabotaging bit of pride that says that having a mentor who's also training someone else makes us look worse, like we're a runner-up. I want someone for who we're their first choice for student. But that's stupid, I know it is, pride is less important than performance. And maybe we could get the training without sabotaging Sakura's development. So I guess we should at least ask.

>>43114904
>Go see Kakashi for training

>>43115133
First comes pride, then comes the fall. Don't let that get in your way even if we don't measure up to Sakura as a student we should still learn everything we can from Tsunade.

While we are doing whatever training we are doing, as we leave ask Itachi if we can have copies of all the Akatski info we have, members, techniques, anything

There are things you want to do, but you decide to leave it for tomorrow.

"Always with the missions!" your uncle jokes. "You think they could let you stick around for a bit, huh? You can handle it, though. I'm sure they're begging to have you to go on missions! They can't do without you!"

You relax with your uncle for a while, then retire for the night. The next morning, you have a decision to make. How are you going to spend this time you've been given to train?

Why not both 5/5 ninjutsu with the chakra control of a god would make us really strong with our kekkei genkai ( if we can only do one i vote kakashi)

I'm worried that if we don't get access to some OP shit soon, we are gonna fall behind fast. Everyone has better stats than us, expect lee. And lee can't do any ninjutsu or genjutsu at all. We need massive gains and FAST.

Let's learn some more wind techniques.

>>43115229
>C.Seek out Kakashi, have him teach you

>>43115335
I agree.

>>43115170
It's less about measuring up to Sakura and more about measuring up to canon. Being a replacement for the canon protagonist gives me a sense of inferiority, no matter how well Kon actually does. It's stupid, but it's there. So it makes me want things that make Kon more special, just to make up for it. Being the first choice of student for an awesome teacher would do that. But it just doesn't seem like Kon can get that, he just doesn't have the plot importance to merit that. Even Enma is refusing to teach us unless he also teaches Konohamaru. So yeah, I guess I should just suck it up and accept that's not Kon's role. He's the protagonist, not the hero, and there's a big difference between the two.

>>43115229
>>A.Seek out Konohamaru, we need to get our summoning skill up

>>43115438
Sorry, let me be clearer: I want something to show, not an actual increase in skills. It is entirely about showing off. Even if it's not practical, being able to summon the Monkey King will make me us look cool.

Maybe just a quick post telling us what vote won would be good, Laze, so people don't bring the thread closer to the bump limit with votes.

You figure that if you really want to improve, you need to train under multiple teachers. Kakashi will surely train you, but between missions and training Kiba, he won't always be free anyway. Which is fine. You can also try to get training from someone else. Tsunade comes to mind. She might be able to help you shore up your weak points. Hopefully Konohamaru can make some good progress on summoning by himself.

First thing's first, you go and see whether Tsunade will actually let you train under her. You head to the hospital.

You find Sakura and Tsunade in the director's room, apparently mixing some kind of medicine.

"Don't see you here often, Kon." Tsunade says. "Did you need something?"

Supporting

>>43115556
>A.
>C. Have some tact about it. "Actually...yeah. I've got some glaring weaknesses in my own training, and Kakashi's busy alot of the time and often late even when he isn't. So..."

>>43115567
No he won't. He'll be impractical but cool looking, just like us.

>>43115556
>>43115576
Seconded. We're not the type for medical work as more than a supplement at most.
Better at blowing things up than putting them back together.

>>43115556
My team has no medical nin and while I myself would not be the perfect fit, I am the best one, please teach me our ways of chakra control and strength. I always seem to outlast my allies if I can keep them up then maybe things will go better from now on. I can't think of anyone in the whole leaf better than you for this

Maybe we can develop a kekkei tota? Wind lightning plus fire or earth for radiation release? Dust release clearly isn't bloodline based. Maybe we can use our impeccable chakra control to pioneer a second entirely new release?

>>43115556
>>A.I want to train under you
We actually should learn SOME medical stuff. Chakra Scalpel + Impact Release ftw

>>43115576

You don't necessarily want to learn how to heal, but there is a lot that Tsunade can teach you.

"I want to train under you." you say. "Not really for healing, but I think your training can help me compensate for my weaknesses."

"Really, now?" Tsunade thinks to herself. "You don't want to learn to heal, you just want to learn my technique to use chakra to punch harder? You might be reaching a bit there. You don't have anyone with medical ninjutsu on your team, do you? How about this. You go through the basic medical ninjutsu, then I'll teach you my chakra control technique. Not bad, right?"

"I think that's a better idea, too." Sakura adds. "You really should have someone on your team with medical ninjutsu. Ino and Tenten went back to their own training a while ago, but they learned all the basics."

>A.Alright, I'll do it

>B.I don't need to learn medical ninjutsu

>C.Other

>having a mid-long range fighter learn Chakra Scalpel
>not having Kiba learn Chakra Scalpel

>>43115837

Honestly thats what im hoping laze will let us do to stay relevant against pain and naruto

>>43115556

>>43115837

>>43115837
>>A.Alright, I'll do it

>>43115848
>Kiba's shit for chakra control wouldn't be able to maintain it.

>>43115837
Actually, I think Kiba should be learning this stuff too, can we fetch him?

>>43115837
>B.I don't need to learn medical ninjutsu
>C.Other
"I wasn't referring to your strength techniques. I want better control over my chakra."

>>43115897
No you won't

>>43115837
>>A.Alright, I'll do it
"I'm not against learning medical techniques. I'd actually appreciate the chance to learn the basics. I just don't want to specialise, and didn't want to give the impression that I did."

>>43115837
>>A.Alright, I'll do it

>>43115900
Kiba has his clan and Kakashi, he'll be fine and we shouldn't split his focus too much, he can learn medical jutsu from his sister who is a vet.

>>43115918
Does Tsunade not being Hokage mean she isn't able to enforce her "medics aren't allowed on the front lines unless they're REALLY GOOD" rule?

>>43115837
>>A.Alright, I'll do i

>>43115912
I think that must be how she's doing it, I don't know why she'd mention strength otherwise.

>>43115848
Impact chakra scalpel we use like twin Katars. Use them like sauce man's chidori blade but slashing and stabbing. Chakra vibroblade

>>43115949
It is, but there are other things we can learn from her that involve chakra control.

That seems reasonable, thank you Lady Tsunade. I suppose I should apologize for the lip I gave you when we met -____-

hopfully this Chakra control will help us conpenate for our strength issue....that and if we push I be young forever.

>We need to figure out a way to include Water
think about it Wind/Lightning/Water we are the Oncoming Storm of the Leaf.

>>43116027
Has Laze confirmed that we'd get another nature release?

>>43115837
>C.Other
"No, I think I'll pass. Thank you for your time, Lady Tsunade."

do we know how long untill the Sause-man comes back?

>>43116034
Anyone can learn any of the basic nature releases, affinity just determines which they find easiest.

>>43116058
It was said a few posts ago. We've got about a year.

>>43116058
Just under a year.

You don't really see anyone else on your team learning any medical ninjutsu. If anyone learns it, it's likely going to have to be you.

"Alright, I'll do it." you say. "I'm fine learning the basics, I just don't want to specialize."

"That's fine." Tsunade replies. "You never struck me as a medical ninja anyway. I just think your team would benefit from having someone who knows the basics. It can make all the difference on the battlefield. I'll get things ready for your training to start tomorrow. Come back then."

Tsunade and Sakura return to their work, and you leave the hospital. Next, you track down Kakashi Sensei. You find him and Kiba training at the usual spot.

"Hey, Kon." Kakashi greets you. "Thanks for taking care of that report yesterday. So did you come for more training? What did you want help with in particular?"

Wait what? Source?

>>43116107
>A. I want to improve my abilities. Two weak points, Genjutsu and Strength. And everything else beneath 2.5.
>C. Also, hope you don't mind, but I'm going to be doing some learning under Tsunade. You're busy alot, and she's the only other person I could think of.

(in before we have better talent in medical jitsu than Sakura does)

>>43116107
>A (we need to get gud!) all the fancy jutsu in the world wont save you if you aren't good enough to make proper uae of it.

>>43116107
>B.I want to learn more jutsu (specify)
Sensor type abilities using Wind and Lighting.

>>43116168
This is good.

>>43116107
>A.I want to improve my abilities (specify)
Handseals and ninjutsu

>>43116140
I can't remember exactly where it was said (in the Rasenshuriken training arc, I think, but don't quote me), but it's pretty explicitly clear in the manga. Plenty of characters know jutsu of more than one element but don't have bloodlines (or if they do, it's a non-elemental bloodline). Asuma knows Wind and Fire, Hiruzen knows Fire and Earth, Kakashi knows at least one jutsu of every element...plenty of others. Some people choose to specialize in their affinity for the sake of convenience, but there's nothing limiting you. It just means that it won't come as naturally.

>>43116107
>>A.I want to improve my abilities (specify)
Hand seals. How can I do more with less Sensei?

>>43116168
Strength is good but literally fuck genjutsu, it will be objectively useless for staying relevant considering we dont intend to specialize in it. strength might even be useless since we will be getting tsunades technique

>>43116223
I was under the impression that some people were born with the multiple releases; also that the Sharingan allowed you to access the different natures.

>>43116107
>A.I want to improve my abilities (specify)
>Handseals

>>43116269
Nope, Sharingan does nothing for the other natures. That's the Rinnegan that does that. And there's no indication that you can have more than one affinity without a bloodline.

>>43116240
You do realize that Tsunade wrecks shit because she also has 5.0 in Str right?

Also we need gen cuz Genjutsu defense

>>43116107
>B.I want to learn more jutsu (specify)
Wind. We need more wind techniques. Wind is awesome.

>>43116269
>>43116140
>>43116223
Its totally possible, the uchiha clan was famous for fire release which happened to be sasukes first jutsu. Considering he was lightning in nature i think that is proof enough

>>43116107
>>B.I want to learn more jutsu (specify)
Wind or lightning techniques. Especially sensory techniques, if you have them, or techniques with a low chakra cost.
Most of our abilities burn through chakra like a very fast burning thing.

teach me to defend against Genjustsu

>>43115995
Impact Release: Vibroblade will be our answer to the Chidori. Sounds awesome as fuck.

>>43116296
Sakura has 3 in strength, its all in the chakra control.
