Time to actually do some stuff.

Well, you decide that you might as well go and see Mari before visiting hours are done for the afternoon. You approach her room, and figure that she can probably see you coming form a mile away. Heck, she might even already know you're in the hospital. When you walk into the hospital room, she's already looking in your direction.

She seems strange looking weak, just as Ai had. You smile, and give a small wave. "Hey. How are you?"

She pulls her hospital shirt up slightly, showing you her bandaged stomach. "Healing up. You cut me open pretty good...still can't believe it. I didn't even get to try out most of my best Jutsu on you."

You chuckle. "Well, that was sort of my idea. I was barely making it through the first one."

She smiles. "You say that, but then you go and win the whole damn championship. Either you're humble, or you intentionally always play yourself down so that you've got the edge."

You scratch your chin. "Hm, can't it be both?"

She rolls her large, white eyes. "Sure, slick. So did you just come here to talk my ear off?"

You shrug. "I guess so. I'm checking up on people in general, seeing if there's anything anyone needs. How about you?"

She considers this for a moment. "Hmm, would you get me a pork sandwich from Ichiraku's? This hospital food..egh."

She sticks her tongue out, and groans. You smile. "Sure, no problem. I'll bring it by later tonight."

She slips her tongue back into her mouth. "Thanks a lot. See you."

You exit. Now where do you want to go?

>A. Go to the market.
>B. Go to the residential areas. (Visit someone, or try to find someone.)
>C. Go to the academy.
>D. Go to the training field.
>E. Go to the Hokage's Office.
XX Go to the hospital, and see if anyone you know is there.
>G. Write-in

>>44669287
>G. Write-in
Library, need those new Genjutsu.

>>44669287
>D. Go to the training field.

>>44669287
>B. Go to the residential areas. (Visit someone, or try to find someone.)

Thank Shikamaru. Seriously, this guy has done more for us than Hanto ever did.

>>44669379
This

>>44669287
>>B. Go to the residential areas. (Visit someone, or try to find someone.)
The Nara residence, Thank Shikamaru and hang with Shikadai.

>>44669287
>B. Go to the residential areas. (Visit someone, or try to find someone.)
The Naras. Shikamaru helped us prepare and gave us exactly the tools we needed to win. Also Shikadai's a bro.

After this, though, I'd like to go to the Interrogation/Intelligence division and submit an application. Working there might be nice, between missions.

>>44669287
Get Kichiro's comics and Mari's sammich then go play shogi with Shikidai.

>>44669287
who do we see about getting that Chunin uniform? or does it come with the flak jacket?

>A. Go to the market.
buy some explosive tags

>>44669321
New genjutsu. Would cool

>>44669287
>C. Go to the academy.
Thank Shino for the poison.

>>44669487
>>44669533
Need to wait until it get's closer to visiting hours in the evening for that. Need to make sure the sandwich is fresh.

>>44669567
Please keep this in mind, Mini! We won't get Mari a stale sandwich.

>>44669287
>C. Go to the academy.
Thank Shino for the poison.
Then
>G. Go to the library to study new genjutsu.

>>44669567
Fair enough.

>>44669379
This

You start your walk to the Nara residence, heading back into the center of town until you reach the manor. Entering through the main gate, you rap lightly on the front door with the back of your hand. After a few brief moments of silence, Temari opens up the door, wearing an apron. She smiles and steps back, quickly returning to the kitchen and ushering you in. "Hello, Takeshi. Congratulations on your victory! I can't begin to tell you how proud everyone is that you won this victory for the Leaf, even if it did come down between you and Boruto."

That is true. You hadn't really considered the fact that you were representing your country, as well as representing yourself. The Leaf must look as good as ever, considering how many finalists there were. It really is true that you're a part of the most powerful nation on the planet.

You step in front of the counter, as Temari is slicing tomatoes. "Is Shikamaru home?"

She nods. "He is. Shikadai's on a mission, but my husband /should/ be out back fixing the shed."

You start heading towards the door. "Thanks Mrs. Nara!"

Once you step through the back door, you head towards a dingy, slightly crooked, home made shed. It's fairly small, as well. You take a step inside and find Shikamaru relaxing on the ground, a book over his face, asleep. He has a pillow propped up behind him, and the sun from the small window on the right is gleaming in just perfectly to warm him, but not get in his eyes.

Despite it's crooked appearance, it looks comfortable. You knock on the door frame. "Shikamaru?"

>>44669638
He removes the book from his face. "Huh..? Takeshi?" He quickly stands up, surprising you. He grins widely. "Congratulations on becoming Chunin. Just like I had, the only one to pass."


You grin, matching his. "Well, sensei, I actually came over because I wanted to thank you. I would have never gotten as far as I had without your training."

Shikamaru crosses his arms, and sighs. "If only you knew. Takeshi, I'm going to have to resume my normal duties soon, so I'll be busy from now on. But I think you should try to find a teacher who can show you the path to even greater skill. Of course, you can always train with a partner or by yourself, but nothing compares to learning from a master."

You nod. "Thank you, sir."

You leave the Nara residence.

>A. Go to the market.
>B. Go to the residential areas. (Visit someone, or try to find someone.)

>D. Go to the training field.

Library, maybe say hi to Shino at the academy.

>>44669654
Go thank shino for the toxin.

>>44669677
>>44669654
Definitely thank Shino for the poison.

>>44669654
>D. Go to the training field.

>>44669654
Thank Shino for the poison that saved our ass from Archer when he was in Jinchuuriki rage mode.

>>44669654
>B. Go to the residential areas. (Visit someone, or try to find someone.)

Let's find Boruto

>>44669654
>But I think you should try to find a teacher who can show you the path to even greater skill. Of course, you can always train with a partner or by yourself, but nothing compares to learning from a master.

Let's see...Kabuto, Orochimaru, Kakashi, or Gai. Those are the only ones who might have enough free time to help us out, if they're retired.

>>44669654
>>C. Go to the academy.
Shino!

If Salad comes and asks us for a fight can we just say no? And if she's like "Why are you scared?" we can just say yes. I think it'd be funnier than actually winning or even losing.

>>44669654
>C. Go to the academy.
Let's go thank Shino for probably saving our life against Usagi.

>>G. Write-in
have you finished those errands Takeshi?

>>44669718
I agree a lot, even if I don't think that will happen.

>>44669704
Kakashi would be my first choice. Orochimaru isn't much of a teacher and Kakashi ahs a very good spread of jutsu and basics.

>>44669718
We're also still recovering from taking a Rasengan, I doubt we're getting challenged any time soon.

>>44669654
>G. Go do those errands.

>>44669704
Among those, only Orochimaru and Kabuto would be able to teach us the advanced stuff in the areas we know something. Kakashi and Gai are amazing, but we would probably have to learn from the beginning from them.

And besides, Kakashi is Ai's teacher.

If she's still alive, i'd suggest Kurenai. At least for now. She knows a lot about genjutsu and stuff.

>>44669654
>C. Go to the academy.

>>44669787
Kurenai is a good idea.

>>44669787
Yeah, but Kurenai is even more Sakura than Sakura.

>>44669787
Kurenai would be badass.

>>44669654
>G. Go to the intelligence and interrogation building, drop off a job application.

>>44669787
I've been saying we should get Kurenai to train us for ages.

>>44669872
When they want us, they'll let us know.

>>44669872
I'm down with that if we get to waifu Best Interrogator.

Opening up your ninja tool pack as you walk, you notice that you still have two whole doses of the poison that Shino gave you left. The only situation where you were really forced to use it was against Usagi, the Archer that could heal with Chakra or something. Whatever he was, he was serious business, and you're not going to forget him any time soon. It may be good that you didn't use all of this poison, keeping it for future missions could be life saving.

As you're thinking, you decide that you should head on over to the Academy and thank Shino, and possibly check out the library as well. It doesn't take very long to arrive there, granted you feel a slight sensation of unease as you poss the spot where you and Kayo had found the murdered woman. Once you enter the building you feel fine, and you start glancing through classroom windows until you find Shino, teaching a class of young students.

What do you do?

>A. Knock
>B. Open the door and enter
>C. Wait until he's done teaching. Go check out the library.
>D. Write-in

we are polite, can learn more while we wait

>>44669933

>>44670073
Wouldn't it be more polite to help a bro out? What could possibly help Shino out more than the ONLY guy promoted to Chuunin this year stopping by to personally thank him in front of his class?

>>44669933
>A. Knock

>>44670101
Not thinking we're somehow so special, that we can just barge into the teachers classroom while he's working?
I mean, i can totes see how it could turn out well for us, but he may not apreciate it.

>>44669933
>C. Wait until he's done teaching. Go check out the library.

Mini, how much time do we have before it's too late to drop off the comics and sandwich at the hospital?

Give us a warning before it's too late if you could

>>44670101
Kinda rude, it would distract the class, it would possibly make them fall behind. this aint something you interrupt class for. Lets hit the books while we wait

>>44669933
>C. Wait until he's done teaching. Go check out the library

You decide to wait until he's done with his current class, and head down to the library to look over some material. The sensation of calm as you enter the slightly dusty room is familiar to you, and quite relaxing. It's not long before you're calmly glancing among the variety of choices to read. After briefly consulting with a Chunin who overlooks the library, you set out a series of books that you think would be particularly beneficial to your training. Because of your injuries you can't really be all that physical right now, but at least you can train your mind.

>A. Botany, healing herbs and poisons
>B. Basic Medical Jutsu

We could just rent the genjutsu handbook and take it home, right? No need to start right away.

>>44670335

This is good

>>44670335
>A. Botany, healing herbs and poisons
poison has saved our ass on more then one occasion might help to know a little more about it. Hell we might get lucky and find out what the hell that poison we got from for the tournament.

>>44670335

Now that the strictly combat portion is over, it's time to get back that utility.

Also, Chakra scalpel

>>44670335
>>44670365
^Like dis

>C. Beginner's Genjutsu Handbook

with us so we can do those erends we said we would. WE MUST NOT FORGET

>>44670335

How long until our tiger skull cape thingie is done?

So your choice is to rent the Beginner Genjutsu Handbook, and read either

>>44670551
>A. Botany

>>44670551
Damn using the 2 together could be interesting, we could be a badass poison bender

>A. Botany
Gotta learn how to make better poisons considering we only have 2 of the real good shit

>>44670551
>A. Botany

>>44670551
>B. Water Ninjutsu

>>44670551
>>A. Botany

>>44670551
>A. Botany

>>44670605
Considering that our real good shit is insect poison, Botany's not going to help much in that regard.

Besides, we'd need to invest into special tools and equipment in order to refine whatever poisonous plants we happen to come across.

>>44670551
>B. Water Ninjutsu

>>44670551
>A. Botany

>>44670551

>>44670605
>>44670659
And Mini said last thread that stuff from the flower shop will be much better than the shit we produce, that the shit we produce would only really be for specialization.

>>44670713
Yeah but i imagine if we lay a foundation of knowledge and keep up with it over a long time we can eventually create better shit than whats sold

>>44670659
But half of botany is herbs. We can use it to treat injuries in the field, in tandem with our healing jutsu.

>A. Go to the market.
>B. Go to the residential areas. (Visit someone, or try to find someone.)

>>44670899
Say thanks to Shino.

>>44670899
>>44670918
Something along these lines.

>>44670781
Not that guy you responded to but imagine that we won't just because /tg/ plays the long game badly. Water, Genjutsu, Fuin, and medical are perfectly diverse skills that let us react to most problems efficiently. Why overextend when most people are one to two trick ponies?

>>44670899
This >>44670918
Then visit Kagami

>>44670920
>>44670918 me
Make sure we get Mari more than a single sandwich too.

>>44670952
We can go grab things. That'll take some time, and maybe we can visit the puppet bitch after.

I seriously would like a primer in puppets. That kinda mechanical knowledge can only lead to good things.

>>44670899
>E. Go to the Hokage's Office.
This is boring

>>44670983
I think chakra strings my be worth investigating, but actual puppetry is far too specialized.

Difference between a paramedic and a neurosurgeon.

>>44670983
I agree with this. Even if we just use chakra strings on kunai or other weapons to have remote control over them in a pinch.
Could also be useful for the bell-senbon genjutsu that requires wire to work and others like it, replacing the wire and the time it takes to send chakra down it into the bells by just using the chakra strings.

>>44670983
Puppets need to be learned from birth though, we'll never be good with them just meh.

>>44670964

Genjutsu mix with poison is the most ninja thing to do

>>44671053
I don't really care about being a puppeteer. I'm more intersted in the part about mechanics and intricate craftsmanship. Puppets are this verse's take on engineering and mechanics! Think of what we can do if we take those principals beyond mere puppetry!

>>44671119
>Puppets are this verse's take on engineering and mechanics!
False. They're just one application of mechanics.

Get two sandwiches so we can eat together with Mari

>>44671177
That'd be nice

>>44671177
3 so we can drop one of to Kichiro

>>44671177
Better yet get three so we can drop one off for Mari and eat with Himawari

>>44671177
You're assuming she wants to eat with us, or that we wouldn't get kicked out because of visiting hours and shit

>>44671149
I'm not counting snow, but puppeteers are the closest we have to field engineers, with puppets being the artillery.

I just want some armor we can keep weapons stored inside of. Even if it's just a couple pieces, some hidden weapons can be useful. To say nothing of the value of chakra strings

>>44671212
>Himawarifags
Get lost

>>44671064
Yea but spec'ing into poison is gonna take up time that can be used training so we don't have to use poison except as a trump card. Buying poisons is fine, turning into poisoneer ain't, at least this early in our career

>>44671212
>Better yet get one so we can drop one off for Mari and eat Himawari

>>44671239
>I'm not counting snow, but puppeteers are the closest we have to field engineers, with puppets being the artillery.
Aside from the actual gunners and artillery men.

>>44671246
she a cute tho

>>44671239
Sealing bro. We can literally seal a scroll which itself is sealed full of weapons.

>>44671291
Generic and boring.

>>44671291
Cute, but not waifu material.

>>44671309
Damn, what threads have I missed where we got to know her?
Going to have to binge read the archives!

>>44671299
Grenades, then. Single-use wide-area weapons. A hundred senbon sprayed in a downwards arc with the device triggered in the air after the whole mess was stored inside of a poison-filled container..

>>44671381
Literally sealing jutsu.

>>44670899
Wait why are we doing this instead of waiting around for shino to be free?

>>44671381
Sealing but you fucks always vote for what ever sounds flashy.

>>44671381
A puppet is a shit way to do that.

>>44671340
Dicking boruto's sister overrides all waifuability concerns. (Also you're wrong, and pretty much all other opinions contain lethal doses of tsun or are based on basically no basis whatsoever)

>You will never enjoy childhood Ninja adventures quest because people on /tg/ think everything should be about waifus

At least no one wants that Uchiha bitch.

Then trick it out, Cobblepot style.

>>44671570
Better than fucking Himiwari. Plus all these "We're just doing it to spite Boruto" false flaggers should be aware that Boruto does return Salad's affection and thus this would hurt him more.

>>44671558
Hey, there's a shit-load of pointless power-gaming as well as waifu arguments.

>>44671581
strangly enough i am ok with this

>>44671627
Need to work on our shurikenjutsu anyway.

>>44671597
Yeah except that would involve inflicting sarada upon ourselves, and she's a giant mess of hang-ups.

>>44671665
Such as?

>>44671570
>not wanting to win the Saladbowl
Faggot

>>44671690
>Caring about Saladbowl

>>44671679
Daddy issues, tinfoil issues, tsunderstorm issues, competition issues, elitism issues, etc

>>44671665
Sarada's already done with her daddy issues, dude
The only real hang up here is that she kind of thinks we're secretly a sociopath

>>44671597
I'm not sure how the limited amount of time we have actually spent with Himawari (or really near any girl so far) means she's going to be generic. Hell, I bet you could make the case that every girl, once you break them down, could be called 'generic' in their own way.

>>44671718
Unless there OC's, their all 'generic' really.

>>44670899
So mini died.

>>44671715
Look if it was just daddy issues it wouldn't be a whole mess of hang-ups now would it.
>>44671710
Let's not forget "boys have been exclusively interacting with me by trying to date me for long enough that I'm already sick of if and I've barely hit puberty"

>>44671745
Good thing I took samples before Mini kicked the bucket!

"Impure World Reincarnation no jutsu!"

>>44671715
I think the daddy issue is less to do with her, and more to do with the fact that Sasuke is her dad. I mean who the fuck wants to meet that shitter?

I should have known that the minute we won the Chunin exams we would go right back to waifu bullshit.

>>44671771
So we just act like romantic stuff with her is the last thing on our minds. She'll gavitate towards us simply because we're the one male in her agegroup that isn't trying to date her.

>>44671813

>what is a Boruto

>>44671812
It's a /tg/ quest. It always circles back to waifu shit.

>>44671813
Sure all of the individual hang-ups have "solutions" but that doesn't change the fact that she is in fact a whole mess of hang-ups.

>>44671852
Even if the mc is married?

>>44671745


nuhuh I'm back

Had to find some food for my dog

>>44671812

Let the waifu come to Takeshi

He's not hard to find

>>44670899
I meant to post this

--

After thinking about it for a few minutes, you decide on renting the Genjutsu book and simply taking a look at the book on Water Ninjutsu. As you dive into it, you learn how to more accurately manipulate the flow of your chakra so that it has the consistency of water. You learn about how many Water Jutsu require a source of water to be truly effective, but for extra cost, you can generate this water purely from your own chakra. There are jutsu designed to alter the battlefield, restrain opponents, create distractions, cut, crush, and defend.

From the list of D-ranked jutsu that you can see, you figure that you would currently be able to learn the Water Whip Jutsu, as well as the Water Walking Jutsu, which you learn is more of a non-elemental technique, although it will help to refine your chakra control.

After this, you return the Water Jutsu book and check out the Genjutsu one once more. Afterwards you head back to the classroom, just in time as the kids are being dismissed. You enter, and approach Shino. "Hello, sensei."

He regards you with a nod. "Hello, Takeshi. Congratulations on your victory, you've come very far from the days of me being your teacher."

You chuckle. "Well, I actually wanted to thank you for letting me use that poison. I don't know if I could have beaten Usagi without it."

Shino looks to the side. "I'm impressed that you only resorted to it once, and in an appropriately dire situation. This seemed to be one of the things that really won over the examiners."

You nod. "I see. It makes sense."

Shino picks up a stack of papers, and neatly organizes them. "Soon, you'll be going on real missions. I imagine that you'll be in somewhat of a unique position, but one that will prepare you for the future no less. Good luck, Takeshi.

You bow. "Thank you sensei." and leave, a new book in your hands.

>>44672019
We've already voted for this, haven't we?

>>44672019
If it's getting close to time for evening visits
>do errands
if it's not
>>A. Go to the market.
Stock up on supplies and check out the flower shop

>>44672019
Residential area, get kichiro's stuff and then also see who we run into.

>>44671857
So is everyone. You can classify everyone we've met, every female (and alot of the males) in the quest by the issues they have.

Ai: PTSD, Abandonment, autism.
Sarada: Daddy issues, abandonment, elitism.
Mari: Hubris, Elitism, Anger Management.
Himawari: Anti-social, lacks self-esteem in a bad way.
Nyoko: Textbook God Complex, and quite probably insufferable for it.
Chocho: Actually probably pretty well adjusted, though may have Asperger's if she takes after her father.

Did I miss anyone?

>>44672019
>G. Go take care of those errands.

>>44672019
>E. Go to the Hokage's Office.
Maybe something interesting is going on?

>>44672019
Get kichiro his comics and Mari her sammich. Deliver them.

>>44672019
This >>44672052

>>44672058
Doggirl. And that's only like half of sarada's hang-ups, which is kind of the point.

>>44672068
Its not time for evening visits yet and lets not give Mari a sandwich we carried around half the day.

>>44672058
Yasu
Kasagi
Kiba's Daughter

Also Sarada suffers from paranoia, being a ninja idol and hyper competitivism

>>44672058
>Chocho
Literally retarded

And you forgot the bro dog-girl, and the freckled puppeteer.

>>44672077
Not that I've seen. Her issues are 'Where's my father figure,' and 'I'm too good for people.' I'm having trouble seeing anything beyond that. She's literally no worse than Himawari, though between her, Mari, and Himawari Hima's probably easier to get along with. All she needs is someone to take her seriously consistently.

As for doggirl, I don't know that much about her.

>>44672111
Yasu: Elitism, possible drinker, violent. Literally Sakura except with sword and not shit.
Kasagi: Probably introvert, but honestly we've never interacted with her. She's very prideful about puppets, but that's to be expected.


Anyways yeah. I want Himawari because even though everyone has issues, she's likely the only one to not belittle us. Granted, this might have changed after we school literally everyone.

>>44672019
>>E. Go to the Hokage's Office.
Everything we do keeps leading to nothing at all

>>44672209
As a side note: Those who think Boruto and Sarada are OTP or some shit, Boruto beat Nyoko is a show of raw power. Nyoko's god complex therefore recognizes Boruto as "worthy." Someone who has never been beat before might start obsessing about the boy who beat her. Additionally, a political thing between her and Boruto is quite likely, and they might just get along after a bit.

I rate the odds of it on par with BorutoxSarada.

>>G. Write-in
Do the rounds pick up the stuff we said we would ready for the hospital drop off. Once that is done we can do our own thing.

>>44672252
Yeah I think you're extrapolating way too much from way too little regarding nyoko.

>>44672252
We beat Boruto. Her supposed obsession with him should therefore transfer to us.

I'm extrapolating alot from a little regarding all the characters. What I'm doing is no worse than what anyone else is doing.

>>44672288
It's possible, though Boruto is the one who actually beat her. Frankly, I just want nothing to do with her. Ice waifu is too likely to go Yandere, being a girl who's gotten everything she wanted. Royal treatment and all.

I don't think Nyoko has gone as far as having a God complex.

And I think us beating Boruto is something she finds way more intriguing than Boruto beating her.

>>44672209
>yasu
>not shit
Name a single redeeming quality. I mean I'm sure she probably has some but we've certainly got no reason to make that call from what we've seen of her.

Guys, we're twelve, the girls are twelve too, waifus don't matter yet

>>44672364
ya! girls are icky. they got cooties and stuff

>>44672058
Name one problem with Shikadai as husbando.

>>44672333
>Ice waifu is too likely to go Yandere
Doubt it.

Can we please not worry about a Waifu or Husbando, we may meet someone new or someone may come to us, enjoy the freedom while we have it before a significant other demands our time and make things more of a drag.

>>44672378
1. We'd be way to smart of a power couple. Literally not fair to anyone else.

>>44672364
If you don't defend your viewpoint now you allow other anons to have free rein in advancing the cause of dumb waifus that make no sense when the time eventually comes though. Sure in an ideal world no one would be waifuposting but in the world as it is not waifuposting is dumb

>>44672378
We're not a faggot.

>>44672338
The only event that shows us to be anything more than clever is getting up after a direct Rasengan. Which, while impressive as shit (I think the only ones who managed it in canon are Kurama, Madara, Kabuto, and Jaraiya) isn't quite as impressive as making HUNDREDS of Rasengan by age 12.

>>44672363
She's basically a snarkier Sakura with a sword. She does have training to use that sword, however.

>>44672401
Better believe it. Those with the "royal treatment" as we've seen her getting are quite used to the "I want it, so I'll take it, and fuck whatever anyone else wants" mentality.

>>44672378
Political concerns with heirs, possibly not gay.

That's it. I find no fault with Shikadai's character beyond some minor laziness inherent to all Nara. If we can, I wholeheartedly support that route.

However, this is eugenicsland, heirs have been killed for less. I doubt a same sex couple will go over well.

>>44672478
"Sword" is not a redeeming quality. And honestly I haven't gotten "snark" from her I got "abbrasive asshole" which... Admittedly has some carryover but it didn't seem to come from a place of cynicism or anything just not having any respect for anyone whatsoever.

>>44672488
Because /tg/ controls him.

>>44672566
It means she's not awful in combat. I don't like Yasu, but other than toned musculature and combat skill she's a cunt. Some people like to think of this as 'Dominant Amazonian' and while that might be fun for a night it's something that'll get really old, really quickly.

>>44672569
Are you trying to imply /tg/ isn't filled with closet homos?

>>44672569
QMs have gotten away with taking MC sexuality out of player hands before. Frankly the whining when if happens is hilarious Mini one day up and telling us "so takeshi just discovered he likes dude and not ladies" would legitimately be the best.

Jesus fucking christ can't you autists wait until we have more than one or two interactions with the other girls before deciding you know every single fucking thing about their personalities?

>>44672599

>>44672599
lets hook up with the trap then, /tg/ gets what it really wants and still saves face.

>>44672629
Its one autist taking offense to the fact that we have had quite a few interactions with sarada and do actually know quite a bit about her personality... Much of which is unflattering, and declaring that other girls must be equally bad.

>>44672642
I'm just pointing out the facts. Don't blame me if you can't handle the truth.

Nah, just if that's always the case.

>>44672629
Naruto characters are and always have been 2-dimensional. Sasuke's a cunt because dead parents and wants nothing more than to bury the pain under the rush of battle (even if he tries to justify it with his avenger mindset), Sakura's where's a polite mask but even the slightest chance to give into her violent demeanor is taken, though she DOES try to make sure being violent is justified. Naruto's a lazy, self-centered little shit whose only reason for ending violence is so he can be friends with everyone without conflicting interests. He really has no right to be kage, and it saddens me that people actually let him lead the village in a meaningful capacity.


As a side note, there was that one earth-style grass nin. She might be waifuable.

>Tfw you realise even being a girl won't get rid of waifufags because they just go lesbian

I'm not sure why you think this?

We see a bunch of ninja who just use puppets as another tool in the box. Granted, we're not going to be the next coming of Sasori unless we focus on them, but that's like saying it was pointless to learn Water Bullet and Hydro Blade because we're not going to be the Nidaime Hokage.

Hell, Mizuki was able to use a puppet as distraction in filler. "Tony the Tiger" Mizuki. "Couldn't steal a scroll, had to get a 12 year-old to do it for him" Mizuki. "Those who can't do, teach, those who can't teach", Mizuki.

Given our fighting style consists of hiding, distracting people with fakes, and throwing a ton of poisoned weapons at people, a fake we can operate from hiding that is full of poison and weapons seems like a pretty decent investment.

At the very least we should find out about it - and much like Chakra Scalpels, Chakra Strings seem like they'd be useful even without a puppet.

Anko was a good girl. I was actually really upset when I thought she had died.

Everyone in this thread seriously needs to shut up about how they plan to manipulate these 12 year-old girls into developing an infatuation with a 12- year-old boy.

I mean, sure, waifu-wars can be good clean fun, but this is bordering on The Game levels of creepy pseudopsychology.

I sure as hell hope there isn't any legit signs of romance until there's been a +3 year timeskip, but I sure wouldn't mind if we could continue without romance beyond that.

>>44673318
Jesus Christ she needs to eat something. Her arms and legs are freakishly thin.

>>44673277
Unfortunately, she was a female under Kishimoto's pen, so...

I mean, notice how the Sannin have a bunch of pupils of both genders, but only the male ones are ever significant?

The Fourth Hokage, Kabuto, Naruto, Sasuke, Pain are all guys.

Then the female students get to be Konan, Anko, and Shizune. Sakura's the closest they get to being relevant, and she's... eesh. By the end all she can do is heal, and Naruto's even better than her at that.

>>44673181
Laziness.

A late comment on the Chunin-Exams: Ya'll should really light a candle in memory of Kin Tsuchi.

Because that shitty little mooks signature jutsu was hilariously OP and pretty much won you three out of five battles.

>>44673330
On the one hand, the "romance" in Naruto before the timeskip was a mix of childish and annoying crushes and equally-childish and annoying voyeurism.

On the other hand, the romance post-timeskip was... exactly the same, but far more emotionally retarded. Oh, and Hinata confessing ten seconds before getting btfo, never being seen again, and then marrying Naruto.

>>44673415
That is true

>>44673415
1 out of 5 and helped a shit ton with 2 more. It won MAri's, began faze 2 of Archer's(Shino's poison was the winner there), helped stalled Boruto out.

The Marifags are probably the worst because it's so blatant. Uchihafags get creepier by the thread, but at least they have the amusing tinfoil hat gag to fall back on in lieu of daddy issues.

Similarly, at least the Sandfags have the decency to /pretend/ they want to apologize and talk shop about puppets rather than nakedly hitting on the twelve year-old we just maimed.

I thank god the Ai stuff is falling through now she's bro-zoned us. Awkward anon-romancing only gets creepier when the target is clearly emotionally damaged.

>>44673556
I'm aware it's pretty common, but in this quest it's been manageable so far. Last few threads the waifu wars have just become fucking nauseating though and the pseudo-psychoanalysis of little girls in this particular thread, yeah, dare I say a bit too far for even /tg/s standards?

It.. was bad. Guy basically wrote a VN and the waifu war was massive.

People kept voting for what they think their girl would like even when she wasn't around and then trying to sabotage every interaction with any girl that wasn't their favorite.

It was a fucking mess.

>>44673960

>>44673767
>Himiwari fags
She's even younger than us, and it's always got this creepy undertone of getting back at Boruto for being a bit of a shit. Like that's a healthy foundation for a relationship with a 10 year-old (or whatever she is).

>Puppet Girl
The main strike against her is the fact that we haven't actually had a conversation with her yet. Actual Puppetfags have yet to get anywhere near as creepy as the others, they're just... way too enthusiastic considering the actual screentime she's had.

Like, okay, I get it, she's a Ninja Iron Man who presses all your "delicious brown" buttons. You also haven't ever interacted with her in a way that didn't involve a) blowing her up or b) taking her eye out, so maybe dial it back a bit?

Kiba's daughter was cute we should try talking to her.

>>44674078
Huzzah!

Let's hope all the prepubescent The Game shit stays dead, and proceed!

After all of this explosive waifu talk and the clear desire to make progress after the last thread and this one being largely nothing, I think we may accelerate Takeshi's healing process slightly so that you can get started on your first missions.

I can tell that people really want to interact with others, over fighting, right now. However, the village is kind of a shitty method of doing this. Really lacking the focus to dive into any one character for a length of time.

So I propose that instead of continuing to explore the village for this thread, and possibly next, we do a brief timeskip (including you having dropped off Kichiro and Mari's stuff) into the briefing and start of your next mission.

The best way to talk to people is to get some good one on one time with them.

>A. Explore Village
>B. Move on

>>44674161
>Mari didn't like us and anons claimed OH MY GOD TUSN!!1! and I think at some point mini straight up said, no she just doesn't like you like that.
Mari: "You fucking suck."
Takeshi: "So tsun~"
Mari: "Seriously, you humiliated me in a friendly spar."
Takeshi: "So tsun, tomboy moe!"
Mari: "Fuck off, I'll beat you in the exams."
Takeshi: "Wow, here's my chance to impress you!"
Mari: "AAAAAAAAAAAA"
Takeshi: "I can see the dere already!"
Mari: "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
Takeshi: "I guess this is what they call gap moe."
Mari: "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
Takeshi: "I'll be sure to visit you in hospital~"

>>44674259

>>44674259
I kind of want to talk to Kagami before we move on. I know that sounds like waifu-ing, but I'm mainly interested in seeing just how badly we injured her. Everyone else got out okay, but the eye is a delicate organ, and I'd like to get our reactions, too.

Plus finding out whether puppeteering is actually something worth looking into (without actually dedicating ourselves to it). If we can do that at a library (or QM's word) instead, I'm happy with that, as well.

So when are we getting a Kote?

>>44674259
>B. Move on
Can we at least say we also checked in on the chick we poked an eye out off? I don't want any unnecessary bad blood.

>>44674259
>A. Explore Village
I really want to move on. But more than that, I want to have Takeshi show some compassion and see if the allied ninja he maimed is alright. Even just ducking his head in, or acknowledgement that he visited the Sand Team's ward during the timeskip, would be gravy.

...or hell, maybe they legally need an escort mission back to their village and someone thought it'd be funny to assign the new chuunin? Could be neat to explore another Land.

It's a crutch, anon.

We can't rely on stuff like that.

I do want to apologize to Kagami, though. Not like "sorry for winning", because that's insulting, but just... general burying of hatchets and gushing over her fucking mecha suit what the hell
