At Naruto's declaration of a battle, instead of getting ready, Hinata and the red haired girl go up to Naruto with concerned looks on their faces.

"Who cares about some dumb fight? We've made an important discovery, Naruto." The girl in glasses says. "Hinata and I have been pouring over our research, and we might not need to extract the nine tails from you at all!"

"You don't have to die, Naruto!" Hinata insists.

Unwaveringly calm all this time, Naruto's facade fades at this news. He furrows his brow and turns to the two girls.

"Huh? Well, that's nice I guess, but it's kind of lame." Naruto mutters. "I mean, if all my talking amounted to nothing, I'd look kind of uncool, you know?"

"That's not true, you're still cool, Naruto!" Hinata assures him.

Just then, the red haired girl grabs Naruto by the collar and starts shaking him back and forth.

"Listen here, you idiot!" The girl shouts. "We've been trying to find a way to keep you alive for all this time because that's what we want, not so you can look cool! Since your skull is so thick, you're too dense to notice, but Hinata and I haven't been pining after you for years so you can go and off yourself! Why can't you just humor us for once!?"

Suigetsu grabs the hand of the girl in glasses and stops her from shaking Naruto.

"Hey, Karin. Not now." Suigetsu says. "We'll talk it all out later. Right now we've got a more urgent problem. These guys are after Naruto."

Suigetsu motions to you and your team, and Karin lets go of Naruto. The five of them all face your group and get ready for battle.

"Sorry, I guess I seem a bit less intimidating now." Naruto addresses your group. "But don't worry, I'm plenty strong."

There are five of them, and five of you. You'll have to figure out the match-ups. Though keeping it one on one may not be the only option.

Okay, even I'm getting wierded out now

Remember that not only does she have that curse mark, but she's spent ten years under the tutelage of at least two S-class criminals, A Sannin and the Nine-tails Jinchuuriki. Haku and I will mop up the other three, overwhelm Hinata with you both, and then we can all pull down Naruto together."

>Who fights who?

>>43489702
Neji would get Rekt by Hinata.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oshlXnvXDxE
Just something Kon should work towards with Impact release

>>43489791
Dude, Neji is a fucking beast in this timeline. He faced a bijuu and was one of Jiraiya's two main bets.

>>43489791
You mean magic flying-man, who can see chakra, and thus stop the spread of the curse-mark and block it off before she can activate it, and who has ALWAYS been best Hyuuga, would get rekt by Hinata?

Maybe, but I'm being thematic.

>>43489842
Hinata has been hyperbuffed in this timeline. Imagine Sasuke, except powered by Emo instead of Angst, with training under Naruto (and not just size training)

>>43489470
>>Who fights who?
Tenzo v Naruto - jinchuuriki are weak to wood. But not yellow. That would be silly.
Haku v Suigetsu - he wants the sword? He'll get it. Repeatedly.
Neji v Hinata - eyeball fight.
Sasuke v Karin - honestly, only reason I put him here instead of Neji is that she's had Hinata to train with on anti-byakugan measures.
Kon v Jugo - he's big, tough, and probably the second most dangerous person here. Of course we fight him.

>>43489898
>>43489523
backing

>>43489898
Awesome. Seconding.

>>43489470
Haku takes Suigetsu, because it would make sense Suigetsu would target him and also because it will be fun to see if being frozen messes with the Hydrification Technique. Tenzo takes Naruto, he was quite literally made for fighting jinchuriki. Neji takes out Karin real quick (because I don't care how much she's been buffed in this timeline, she's meant for a support role, not actual combat) then helps Tenzo. Sasuke takes Juugo because he's the only one with jutsu capable of causing enough raw damage rather than precision attacks to get past the regeneration. And we fight Hinata and see how well the Gentle Fist works when the target is covered in a layer of chakra reactive armor.

>>43489898
>>43489470
Seconding

>>43489898
Fourthing this.

>>43489864
Again, she's been buffed by a chakra-based curse-mark. The Hyuuga clan specializes in detecting chakra in the body and sealing it.

Neji meanwhile can change direction mid-movement with his flying technique, and thus get at the points quickly and with surprise, who has been groomed by a Hokage.

Sasuke was a fucking main character, of course he was a beast, but Hinata is just a plot-device to motivate Neji and Sasuke.

>>43489898
This

>>43489984
Which is why I'd rather not have either of them fight her. Deny her the chance to get a symbolic fight, keep her from having any sort of character arc. You're a side character, Hinata, and don't you forget it.

>>43489945
Seconded.

You think out the matchups. You want to try and get a numbers advantage as quick as possible, so it'd be better to have at least one 2 on 1 matchup in your favor. You're confident that you and Haku can hold your own against the three new guys until the numbers are on your side.

"Sasuke, face Hinata with Neji!" you tell him. "Haku and I and I can handle ourselves until you're done."

"Alright, you guys do that." Tenzo says. "I need to be the one to face Naruto."

Sasuke and Neji start to approach Hinata, as the curse mark starts to spread across her body.

Juugo, Suigetsu and Karin start to move towards you and Haku, but Naruto stops Karin.

"You need to be on standby." he tells her. "We're going to need it."

The red haired girl nods and steps back, as Naruto breaks off to face Captain Tenzo. Leaving Haku facing Suigetsu and you facing Juugo.

"Kabuto told me you were two of the ninja that faced my friend Kimimaro before he died." Juugo says as he starts to transform. "If you could face him, I should be no challenge for you. Come on! Let's fight!"

His personality suddenly changes. He could attack at any time.

>>43490232
Yeah, but so would their team, and they wouldn't have a medic.

>>43490115
Lance Karin immediately. In The head if possible

>>43490191
>>43490115
>E. Snipe Karin
We're ninjas. As we said on the Sound Four Arc, fuck this x1 bullshit. Let's snipe Karin.

Bonus points if we mock Naruto for telling us who their healer was.

>>43490313
>>43490286
>>43490197

Also, Haku should cover us. He is not stupid, he is also a ninja. And one trained by Motherfucking Zabuza.

>>43490115
>A.Wait for him to close in and counter

So people are voting that we take our attention off the very fast and dangerous man to perform an attack that requires a lot of focus on a peripheral target. Yeah, this is a great idea, it's definitely not going to get our head knocked off by a piston punch.

>>43490313
E-snipe karin
agreed even with berserk rage potential it swings things in our favor attrition wise, and will likely piss both naruto and jugo at least, which we can hopefully take advantage of with teamwork and tactics

>>43490373
And the other vote is to stay in close-combat with a guy who can punch our head off. Both plans are stupid, at least the head-shot stops free resurrections.

>>43490373
However, we have Haku, a fast AND now strong ninja who can use Ice Release to, at least, hold Juugo. I mean, i doubt Laze will ever let us one shot Karin, but hell, we can try, we have Motherfuckin' Haku to help us.

Guys... I just remembered, we need Karin alive. She has the research on how to save jinchuurikis.

Well, we CAN break Hinata's legs and bring her with us.

>>43490415
Yes, but at least we'd be paying attention to him and therefore be able to respond to his attacks. Taking our eyes off of Juugo is a bad idea.

>>43490420
Haku's dealing with Suigetsu, though. I'm not sure he'll be able to devote the time to protect us.

>>43490453
It's literally just to save Naruto, and it's the drum thing the two guys who got eaten by Kyuubi had. Bitches only care about the D, and not saving anyone.

>>43490453
Well, she has the research on how to extract Kurama from Naruto without killing him. There are a lot of factors that, depending on how her process works, mean we couldn't use it to save other jinchuriki.

This seems to be the kind of guy that will rush in to close range. You get the Impact chakra flowing through your body and wait for him to make a move. Soon enough, he dashes towards you at great speed, but nothing you can't handle. You dodge his fist and counter with a strike of your own, that sends him flying back into a wall.

Juugo gets back up and praises you.

"That's some incredible chakra you have, to do that to me!" he shouts. "I'll have to hit you even faster!"

The man closes in on you again, but this time, he's punching the floor to disrupt your footing. It's getting harder and harder to dodge, and mounting a counter attack is near impossible. You try to make some more distance to rethink your strategy, when Juugo appears right on you, his arm seeming to have changed shape to that of an axe.

>A.Stop his attack with a barrier

>B.That overhead swing leaves him open, attack

>C.Dodge and try to get more distance

Wait... aren't Karin and Naruto cousins? So she went full incest this AU?

Interrupt his attack before he can complete it, always a good strategy.

Feedback with whatever weapon we have so we don't take a axe to the face(Knife with rope, Sword whatevez)

>>43490526

>>43490526
A with some feedback

Whatever, let's fight Juugo.

>D. Provoke him and then use the Barrier Feedback as soon as he shows he is going to make a really powerful attack.

>>43490527
She's Uzumaki. The exact degree of relation between them is unknown, though, so it might not be incest. It was a big clan, lots of people who were distantly related enough for intermarriage to not be a problem. And that's supposing her interest is romantic, all she said was that she cares about him, not in what context.

Maybe we should deal with sui via our lighting technique and them make jugo, blind, deaf and mute. Throw him into another fight or at karin

The axe is literally right above our heads senpai.

Maybe wind spin to throw him off balance then as he falls forward smash his head into the ground and ko him?

You quickly form your Impact barrier and stop Juugo's swing. As he hits it, you induce Feedback into the barrier, causing Juugo to stumble backwards.

He retracts the axe back into his arm as he addresses you. "So this is your release, huh? You know, Kabuto said this release makes you a pain to fight. If you're really so strong, you should be able to handle my full power. I lose my mind when I completely transform, but Naruto can usually reel me in. So if you can't deal with it, don't worry. He'll take care of it. He hates letting people die if he can help it."

Juugo's body changes until he's completely transformed, like you saw from the other wielders of the curse mark. You have a bit of distance, so you think of how you should move before he can.

>A.Close in again

>B.Blast him

>C.Explosives

>D.Other

>>43490986

Genjutsu monkeys NOW

>>43491237
Well, he said that pre-timeskip the world shapes us, post-timeskip we shape the world. So we hopefully will be able to win some meaningful victories now.

Male him a hazard to his own team, blind, deaf and mute berserker are more a liability. Then fuck with him

>Writing update

Fuck

Well, now I can rewrite it for the one that seems to be winning

>>43491059
>>43491267

Wait, aren't we in a clusterfuck? And don't they have a member in reserve? If we summon the monkeys now, they could get taken out. If we do summon them, we should probably wait for a better moment.

Then again, I know nothing about this boss, so I don't know the right tactics to use against him individually.

>>43491027
I'll vote for this

>>43490986
>C.Explosives
Impact tags. Let's finally use them.

>>43491290
could you let us know when you start typing the update maybe in future? Just so there's a clear end to the voting

>>43491301
The member they have in reserve is a healer, and the way she heals she would only be able to heal one of them before exhausting herself. So it's a risk, but not too bad of one. Not that Kon knows that, of course.

As for how Juugo fights, he's a shoggoth that's seriously underperforming. In theory he could be a constantly shapeshifting amorphous beast of a combatant, he's shown that his shapeshifting abilities are actually really versatile, but in practice he usually just goes for growing some armor and weapons and charging in. He occasionally grows these sort of vent things that can either be rocket boosters or short-ranged energy weapons, but he's mostly just a normal combatant that's way too strong, fast and durable for the typical ninja to fight.

>>43491382
Sage Energy Shoggoth

>>43491382

It might be a good idea to stuff an explosive inside one of those vents then--assuming we can, that is. However, I can also see the logic in trying to take him down as fast as possible, or at least doing a lot of damage in the beginning with a blast. Seems like Feedback is our biggest strength against a foe like this.

It's already being written so I'm not gonna vote. I'm just thinking out loud right now.

>>43491558
Maybe Impact Chakra would disrupt his natural energy gathering?

This guy can hit hard and fast. You need to keep him away from you, and keep wailing on him.

You start off with a Heavenly Lance as he starts moving. You hit him straight in the chest, but after stumbling a bit, he gets right back up and keeps coming. He seems to have no regard for his safety anymore.

Before he can rush you down, you hit him with a Shattershot, pushing him back. You follow up by throwing some tagged kunai his way. You'd like to use more of your arsenal, but you don't want to disrupt the other fights.

A quick glance tells you that Suigetsu seems to have taken Haku's sword, but is desperately using it to fend off Haku's ice attacks, and seems to be on the ropes.

Sasuke and Neji are being kept at in check by a transformed Hinata, who is being assisted by Naruto.

Wait a minute. You look to see that Captain Tenzo is also fighting Naruto. Several of him. It must be the Shadow Clone Jutsu. They're all enveloped in a red aura. You need to finish up here and help out quickly.

Juugo groggily gets up after weathering your explosions, injured, but not impaired. His back starts to morph, cylinders sprouting from it. He takes off toward you again, even faster than before.

>A.Keep blasting him, he'll wear down

>B.Explosions can keep him busy, conserve your chakra

Fuuuuck that, I don't want them pulling some tag team duo bullshit. Both fights are going well, no reason to give them a chance to get back in the game.

Stun him and put a damned heavenly lance through karin while he is stunned. In theory now could be a good time to genjutsu him, many Naruto are in the field and this will neutralize them

>>43491613
>B.Explosions can keep him busy, conserve your chakra
Fuck up his legs

End his mobility to make him a sitting duck

He probably stole the scroll younger I guess and iruka failed to talk him out of it or Something. Or iruka was the one who tried to kill naruto, getting him to steal the scroll to give him a reason to kill him, as naruto would be a traitor

>>43491715
We definitely need to hit Naruto with a genjutsu. That's his biggest weakness, and there's no way that this being an alternate timeline has changed that. If anything, it would be the opposite, since jinchuriki need their demon to help them break a genjutsu and there is zero chance that Kurama would willingly work with Naruto in this timeline. Not when he's trying to revive the Ten-Tails.

>>43491728
Or he grows tank legs and becomes a rocket tank

Oooh yeah.

A fucking rocket taaaank.

>>43491715
Alright guys, let me just say it

Karin isn't just fucking standing there like a retard

She's not just going to stand and let herself get shot

>>43491792
But anon

what if this karin is orochimaru just fucking with us?

Ok, new plan, throw explosives at jugo to slow him down and in the smoke leave an illusion to get behind him and thunder clap his head

>>43491639

Seems like a solid idea. Risky, but it could work. This guy's a berserker, so he probably won't slow down at all until the killing blow.

>>43491639

You have an idea. If you can hit him up close with a strong an Impact strike as you can manage, he'll be put out of commission for sure. You just have to keep him from moving long enough to do it.

Juugo appears right up on you, faster than ever, apparently using those cylinders on his back to propel him. You're only just barely able to avoid his strike, and you throw out some explosive tags. His arms morph into shields, and protect him from the blast as he bashes them into you at the same time. Disregarding the pain, you roll out from under him before he stomps down on you, then pull out a few Impact tags. You set them all off on Juugo, and he growls, struggling to move. Before he gets the chance, you quickly get up and deal two Impact imbued strikes to either side of Juugo's head. The man immediately loses consciousness, and collapses.

Looking over, you see that Haku has completely frozen his opponent. He pushes Suigetsu over, and he collapses into some strange semi-puddle.

You join Haku, then look over to find that Sasuke has been rendered immobile.

"Damn it!" he curses.

Apparently, Hinata has been getting assistance from several of Naruto's clones. In fact, looking around reveals that Naruto has dozens of clones. The number is insane. No one should be able to form this many clones, but he has and it's taken it's toll on Neji and Captain Tenzo. They're both panting heavily.

Hinata also seems to be tiring, but Naruto looks like he is as fine as ever.

You have to help.

>>43492518

It'd be best to try and ease the burden on both of them, so you send Haku to go help Captain Tenzo as you join Neji against Hinata.

"Thanks for the backup, Kon." Neji pants as you approach. "Half of this fight has taken place in the air, and it's worn me out quite a bit. She can even perform Rotation in midair. An almost impregnable defense. And these Shadow Clones have been giving her openings on offense. Sasuke was eventually overwhelmed."

You notice the wings sprouting from Hinata's back. She must be as mobile as Neji, and the curse seal likely makes her as strong, if not stronger.

She begins to close in on you and Neji, as two of Naruto's clones also approach.

On the bright side, incredible stamina is pretty much the only advantage this Naruto has. He doesn't have the Rasengan, he doesn't have Sage Mode, he doesn't have Tailed Beast Chakra Mode and he doesn't have Six Paths Sage Mode. And there's no logical way he could ever get any of those. The closest he might come is getting the snake version of Sage Mode, but given that it would require him to go through Orochimaru to do so, I doubt it will happen. So this Naruto has none of his canon advantages except the basic demon chakra cloak and Shadow Clones. I'm sure he's learned other skills that he didn't have in canon, but nothing nearly as powerful as he would have.

>>43492754
>C.Try to attack them all at once
Chain lightning all of them

It's a pretty good tech for situations like these with a lot of targets

>>43492754

No one in Akatsuki has shown any skill at teaching, and many of them are only as powerful as they are because of unique abilities that they couldn't pass on even if they were good teachers. I'm not worried.

>>43492754
c chain lightning up in this bitch

Konan's paper thing and Sasori's minmaxing puppet shit seem teachable.

>C.Try to attack them all at once

Chain lightning!

>>43492984
You also said you're not worried about Nardo and the crew learning anything from the Akatsuki. I for one don't want to punch Hinata only to find out she's made of paper and we're covered in 5 billion explosive tags.

>>43493099
Sure. But I don't believe that Konan or Sasori would really be able to teach them that well. It just doesn't seem like they have it in them. Sasori wouldn't want to, and Konan would want to but would be hindered by her incompetence.

>>43492754

You try and hit all of them at once, before they have a chance to approach. You flash through the hand signs of your jutsu.

"Lightning Release: Thunderbolt!"

You fire lightning from your hands and hit Naruto's clones, and they dissipate. Hinata however, was able to dodge your attack by taking flight. Neji was anticipating this, and chases after her, hitting her from below. Hinata is briefly stunned, and Neji makes his move in midair.

"Eight Trigrams: Sixty Four Palms!"

Neji quickly makes several strikes all over Hinata's body, while in midair, expelling chakra precisely to aid his movements.

Hinata falls to the ground, and her curse mark recedes, though she still seems to be slightly mobile. She must have resisted Neji's attack somewhat, but she still seems to be in no condition to fight. Neji looks very tired, but he is determined to go on.

The two of you turn to look at the one remaining fight, to see Haku go flying past you, straight into a wall. You see Naruto surrounded by a bubbling red aura with three tails. Captain Tenzo uses a wood jutsu to try and contain him, but he substitutes out for a clone and hits Tenzo from the side.

Before you and Neji can even approach, you feel the building begin to shake.

"Naruto!" Karin calls out. "That bastard Kabuto must have rigged the building to collapse! We have to leave now!"

"But what about the others?" Naruto asks as he dispels his Shadow Clones. "We can't leave them here."

"We'll be alright, Naruto." Hinata insists, from her spot on the ground. "Just go. You can't let yourself be caught here. You can see us again once you've fulfilled your dream."

"Okay. Just make sure you all stay alive for me, alright?" Naruto says before turning to you and Neji. "Orochimaru left before you got here, by the way. He's on his way to the Land of Lightning with Sasori right now. You could catch him, if you hurry."

>continued

>>43493099
>we're covered in 5 billion explosive tags
We need to find a way to turn the Akatsuki to our side so Konan can teach Kon that shit.

>>43493364
That's mighty hard to achieve anon

We could try to seduce her tho...

>>43493352
"Why didn't you tell us that before, we could have avoided this fight, he was our objective not you."

>>43493352

Naruto and Karin quickly run up a set of stairs as the ceiling begins to crumble.

"Damn it all!" Tenzo curses as he gets back up. "Kon, Neji, go!" he shouts. "I'll take care of everything here!"

He starts to gather all the fallen combatants and use some wood jutsu to form a dome, as you and Neji run up the smae stairs as Naruto and Karin. You eventually reach the outside.

"Those two have headed West." Neji says. "The Land of Lightning is East. We could try and pursue them, or get word to the Cloud. We could also split up, but I'm not confident about our chances if we do that."

>A.Pursue them, we can't let them get away

>B.We need to hurry to the Land of Lightning

I'm really not worried about Killer Bee. Yugito's a bit more of a risk, but not too badly. In canon she only lost because they sent immortal people after her, that's not a problem here. And we have no actual evidence anything Naruto just told us is even true. So let's go after him, instead.

>>43493486
>B.We need to hurry to the Land of Lightning
The mission was orochibitch

Naruto was a bonus and we don't have time to waste on him

Plus we captured hinata, juugo(if he's alive) and suigetsu

>>B.We need to hurry to the Land of Lightning

THIS FUCKING GUY.
There will be pain in his future.

>>43493486
>>B.We need to hurry to the Land of Lightning
But right now, the other jinchuuriki take priority.

>>43493486
>A.Pursue them, we can't let them get away

>>43493486
>>A.Pursue them, we can't let them get away

No reason to trust an enemy combatant. Naruto may be a secondary target, but he is one we know is here. Orochimaru being in Lightning isn't actionable intelligence.

>>43493486
>B.We need to hurry to the Land of Lightning
dont want to take the risk if in case he was being truthfull

Orochimaru was the target all along, and the Jinchuuriki need to be protected regardless.

"We head the the Land of Lightning." you say. "We can't take the chance of Ororchimaru getting another Jinchuuriki successfully."

You and Neji take off eastward as fast as you can move. You don't really have an idea of where exactly they headed, but if you take the most direct route, you'll either run into them or beat them there.

After a couple days of as little rest as possible, and moving as fast as you can go, Neji speaks up.

"Kon, I see several people fighting." he tells you. "One is accompanied by a giant snake. We've found them."

You and Neji head to a river side to find a battlefield.

Sasori has puppets everywhere, fighting Kiba, Akamaru, and Asuma. Asuma's team and a team of Cloud ninja lay on the ground nearby, save for one red haired girl who seems to be treating their wounds as best she can.

A ways away, a man in sunglasses holding seven swords in a very strange manner is fighting Orochimaru, who is just standing aside as his snake puts pressure on the man.

>A.Both of you go help Asuma and Kiba

>B.Both of you face Orochimaru with the man

>C.Split up and assist against them both

>D.Other

>>43493486
>Land of lightning, The mission was orchimaru, plus we can back up the cloud ninja and maybe save Bee and Yugito.

>>43493866
>C

>>43493866
>C.Split up and assist against them both
I want to go help Bee, but Kon doesn't have the OOC knowledge that he's the jinchuriki, so let's help both. Neji can help with the puppets, we'll handle the snake.

>>43493866
>C.Split up and assist against them both
Neji take Orochimaru, I'll start shattering puppets.

>>43493866
>C.Split up and assist against them both

>>43493866
>C.Split up and assist against them both
Neji goes with Asuma and Kiba and we help against orochibitch

Alright guys, I've got to eat dinner

Back in a while

>>43493866
>C.
We'll take the giant snake thing, Neji helps with puppets.

>>43493866
>>D.Other
Neji goes to help Asuma and Kiba. We can put our medical training to use with the wounded.

If we have not been spotted and still have some distance why don't we try and put a lance through him while he is not ready for us? Failing rig a bat shit huge net of explosives, Neji grabs one side and us the other, run and ambush an akatski by dumping it on them and blowing it the fuck up

>>43494082
Holy shit you're right

Supporting this

>>43494082
He'd probably just explode into snakes

>>43494082
Crazy Kon explosives hooo

Wow how many Akatski "I want to kill that guy" lists can we get on? Kakuzu, Naruto. Now Orochimaru and sasori

>>43494082
If it wouldn't work on Karin, it probably won't work here.
Still voting for this.

>>43494235
Well, it has a chance here because Oro's not paying attention to us.

>>43494235
Of course it will

Our tactics are too subtle for their feeble minds

Now we just need a catgirl and a sidekick/disciple and we'll truly be the best at subtle

That could work. They can't dodge a giant explosive net even if they wanted to, finally Kon can go all out with his arsenal

>>43494082

NINJA THIS SHIT. Don't run in yelling like its the show, let's act like an actual ninja and go for the stealth kill.

>>43494082
>fails
>no more explosive tags left for the rest of the battle
Eh, fuck it - supporting this.

>>43494082
We must go for it.

Wait i had an idea

What if we use Sarujizo and make him shoot a fire ball at orochimaru, then we buff it with vacuum wave while making said vacuum wave carry a few impact tags to the fireball

Like, fire is stronger than impact thanks to the wind properties in the release so it would both be a double buff and the explosion by ignition of the tags would make it into a large and powerful Area of effect

Think about it. It could wipe out both orochibitch and/or his gay ass giant snake

"Let's split up." you suggest. "I'll take Orochimaru, you help out against Sasori."

Neji heads off to join up with Asuma and Kiba, as you get a net of explosive tags ready.

You approach from behind and quickly engulf Orochimaru in the net, and it explodes. Yet you know it didn't work. Orochimaru didn't even react. It was likely a clone.

You see Orochimaru emerge from the ground nearby.

"Ah, you've come to face me." he notes. "Is it revenge, perhaps? Or you might just be here to protect this Jinchuuriki. Sarutobi Sensei would say that's the right thing to do, after all."

You turn to see the Jinchuuriki Orochimaru spoke of. It's a dark skinned man with pale blond hair and sunglasses.

He's holding swords in several different places, but not his hands. That is, until he removes the sword in his mouth, so he can speak to you.

"Hey kid, why you gotta be interrupting me? This fight can be handled by the great Killer Bee." he says, rapping his words. "That's right, it's the host of the eight tails. Any one who fights me, is bound to fail, yo."

Whether your help is warranted or not, you intend to face Orochimaru all the same. Orochimaru doesn't seem phased by your appearance. He even looks amused.

I don't care about the context explanation

That fighting pose/fighting style is silly as fuck

>>43494500
Thanks for thread Laze

Any gains?

>>43494561
No, but probably after this whole confrontation

So, this is the first thread i've caught since I plowed through the archive, and I've got to say, from a combined eugenics/realpolitic perspective we should marry our nth cousin that gave advice for fighting the rogue explosives user. The implact release presumably mutated out of it so it should be decent for passing it on, and also it'll lead to way less suspicion of our loyalty than marrying the future leader of another village would.

How hard would snake man laugh if we say we are not fighting for revenge but to uphold the Will of Fire?

>>43494615
>Not wanting one of your top ninja as close as possible to a rival/allies leader.

Hey Laze how would >>43494462 strategy work?

Would it be as powerful as it sounds?

Yo, killa bee it's me your support MC, dropping outta the leaf y'all should Holla.

This fight gonna be tight, but you know what's right, cloud and leaf togetha, might makes right, yo.

So don't be hatin on help you gettin just steel yoself lest you be forgetin we gotta drop these creeps and get'em off the streets

>>43494616
He actually expects you to say that

>>43494650
The tags would go off before they hit anything, so that's a bad idea. A combo attack is quite strong on its own though

>>43494694
How would he react when Kon tells him that snakes are for fagots and monkeys are awesome?

>>43494694
How about impact chakra plus say water?

>>43494716
With mild amusement

>>43494717
That would be pretty strong

Would we improve relations by rapping with killa bee while we take to him

>>43494726
Has anybody noticed that Kon is just a bear with a headband?

>>43494747
HOW DARE YOU, I'm so sorry Kon

>>43494745
Not really, but Killer Bee would be amused

>>43494738
If by some miracle we kill snake man, how would Tsunade, Jiraiya, and the Hokage react?

>>43494806
Tsunade would be pretty proud

Jiraiya would be too, but he'd never admit it

Note that both of them are still bummed about their teammate being evil though

Itachi has full confidence that you can do it, you'd just prove him right

How surprised is he gonna be when we send him into the next country over with an impact-chakra enhanced punch?

>>43494781
Weren't we a wereboar?

>>43494843
He knows about your release, so not as surprised as you probably hope

Though he doesn't know just how powerful it is

>>43491362
With the Laze? NO WAY!

>>43494939
Would it be hard to somehow immobilize the Snakeman and then Pour as much chakra as possible in to a impact release punch and liquefy the bastard?

>>43494939
Would Femrochimaru bear our young in the hopes of one day subsuming our release into his new body in the future after this battle?

>>43494987
The fuck is wrong with you.

>>43494966
I can try to do that if it really bothers you, I was just hiding how slow I am at writing the actual update

>>43494977
Immobilizing him is very hard, he's a slippery bastard

>>43494987
He's not in a female body, but even if he was, he'd prefer to take the "Clone in a tube" route on that one

>>43495006
face it m8

that wouldnt even be the third most fucked up thing hes ever done

But seriously people killing Orochimaru will be hard, with killa bees help we nay pull it off. In theory team asuma should spank sasori

>>43495312
Everyone except Asuma, Akamaru, Kiba, and Karui got fucking poisoned

They did manage to beat Hiruko and the Third Kazekage puppet though

>>43495346
Haku's gonna be pissed if Ino gets really messed up by the poison.

>>43495218
>Turns out my ex was my genderbent arch enemy that killed my mentor. He became a women to seduce me after gaining my trust. He did this to so the he/she could raise our child to become his/her new body and therefor gain my hereditary powers.

How does Impact rank among other Kekkie genkai?

Does the Hokage expect us to start a new clan? Does anyone have a plan to snare our bloodline?

We know were we stand with the Uchiha Clan, does the Hyuga clan have any thoughts on us? What does the /pol/king think about us?

>>43495807
Impact is bretty gud, it has its uses like all the other elemental combination releases. You'll have t form your own opinion on where exactly it ranks, though

Itachi doesn't want to pressure you into anything, but more ninja with your kekkei genkai would only be a good thing

No one in the Leaf is out to snatch up your bloodline at this time, and that includes Hiashi. You are just footnote in his plans, if you have kids they would likely be more viable

The whole Hyuuga clan is actually facing restructuring right know. Jiraiya and Itachi have consistently defied their wishes regarding Neji, and he's only proven time and again that he is more capable than any main branch member, so there are those in the clan that want to do away with the system

>>43495807
If Sasuke was a chick, the Uchiha would probably be forcing her on us. The Hyuuga...we're probably too old for their current heir.

No clue about the other clans. I'm sure it'll play out naturally.

Why is Choji so goddamn shitty? Like wow, he's about to get lapped by Konohamaru

>>43495917
He has very low confidence

>>43495906
I can't imagine Hinata coming home in chains is going to help the traditionalist Hyuuga viewpoint any.

>>43495585
Well, it is canon that Orochimaru's son doesn't know which role Oro played in his conception, so I wouldn't actually put it past him.

>>43495929
So, has Kon finally shown he's actually pretty effective with soloing Juugo?

>>43495981
Were you not before

>>43495925
That's probably at least a little bit our fault for making him take backup in the fight against Jirobo. Kept him from having a big dramatic moment where he declared his resolve and all that. Sorry, Chouji.

>>43495998
Nobody thought much of us. We haven't really established a rep with anyone. Hopefully that will change.

>>43495911
If Sauce was a chick everyone would just assume we were a thing. I doubt FemSauce would see Kon in a romantic way.

>>43496029
>Nobody thought much of us
>Hokage keeps choosing you for super important top secret missions

Yeah okay

>>43496049
>Nobody thought much of us
>Hokage keeps choosing you for super important top secret missions
top secret missions that no one other than a handful of people know about.
we continue to fly under the radar of most of the village

>>43496049
Yeah, the Hokage thinks alot of us. But nobody really knows who Kon is in various circles. He might as well be a faceless Anbu agent.

>>43496049
We are kinda his go to guy. I think that Anon was refering to other in the village. How is Kon's rep in village?

>>43496060
Kinda our job. We are not really even looking for glory.

>>43496060
>>43496062
>>43496069

Everyone saw your match against Lee, and how powerful your attack was. Since then, you've only been getting more impressive. Quite a few people know who you are, it's just not really relevant. They're just like, "Oh yeah, Kon, he's a pretty strong ninja"

It's not like you go around looking to see if you have a fan club or something

You're a promising young Jonin, and that's all people really know. That's all they need to know

>>43496060
>>43496062
Among the civilian populace, sure, but I'm pretty sure the ninja of the village know we're pretty badass. We made jonin at 16. We studied under Tsunade, and played a role in bringing her back to the village. We've got a unique bloodline that everyone who's seen it knows is powerful. The Hokage sees us as one of his go-to agents, and trusts us with missions both military and diplomatic. We even have the summon contract of the Third Hokage, which means he considered us a worthy disciple. All of that is non-classified stuff. Anyone looking at Kon's record would be damn impressed.

>>43496119
I'm just mildly surprised at the lack of families trying to set Kon up with their daughters, is all. That could be a side plot in itself.

Hey Laze what colour do you think our chakra appears?

>>43496120
Kon's record is impressive. He is a late bloomer that is now an elite. In the academy we were a scrub. Now Kon is facing S class ranked foes and doing quite well.

>>43496192
I think I'm gonna go with green

I don't think anybody else has that

no
it would just be red lightning bolts
