>awkward dinner
The only cure is obviously puns

>>48937155
I don't see the issue.

Heard you prefer puns over Waifus. You're a monster.

You decide that honey attracts more flies than vinegar after all, and greet the two Mist ninja nicely. The Uchiha replies in kind, though quietly, and the Uzumaki greets you in a cold way. Tenburo actually comes to your defense, trying to get his teammates greet you more nicely. Despite his efforts, you get no more than the initial cold shoulders, though you're fine with that. The dinner of braised fish and leeks comes to your table pretty quickly, thereby stopping keeping the awkward silence pretty short. Hakurin and Tenburo seem to strike up a conversation, though you, Jimmaru, Kaya, and Jensho all remain largely silent.

"Your genjutsu work was impressive. No hard feelings. This... IS fish I'm eating, right? You know you're a real knockout come on, say something, you're really hamstringing the mood" You direct at the Uchiha girl across from you, she just gives you a look of confusion and what may be veiled disgust, though Jimmaru is cracking up next to you. Tenburo and Hakurin are still talking about god-knows-what, and Jensho hasn't said a word.

You decide to keep at it with the girl sitting across from you, after all, you're Kuro Nijiiroh! You beat an ANBU Black-Ops member, you beat a Hyuga in a fist fight! So why does it feel like your feet are buried in six inches of pasta? You say something to her about telling you to shut up, and her inability to just sit there quietly glaring at you. You're clearly making any headway with Kaya, but it seems like your uncanny anti-charms are working on Jensho. Her redheaded teammate has joined Jensho in laughing at your expense, and is elbowing Kaya in the ribs, asking how she can be so stoic in the face of such charismatic failure.

You decide that maybe you should let the meal take it's course, and you all quiet down for a while, until dessert arrives. You spend that time thinking about how you're turning into your sister. This thought scares, you and you absolutely don't want to be "not popular through no fault of your own". Maybe it's been long enough for them to have forgiven your faux pas, maybe not.

There were no puns in that post, it was just a mediocre write-in dialogue.

>>48938301
Then think of a better write in. I'm hoping a fucking pun or two get slipped in or something.

You decide that you want to try and salvage this conversation, you won't be Shirou, you won't be the kind of person to leave their sibling on the bathroom floor or ruin their first mission. But first, you need to decide what to say. You look at the girl across the table from you, "I know I've been putting my foot in my mouth but honestly I was impressed by your skills, how long have you been working on your genjutsu?" you say to her, hoping that the Mist genin aren't going to punch you in the nose for a perceived slight.

It appears that she likes talking about genjutsu, and begins talking about the training and development of genjutsu with a dojutsu, especially the sharingan. You're glad that you seem to have overcome your earlier social ineptitude, and are making inroads with the Mist team. After the short conversation over dessert, the other team excuses themselves, leaving your team alone.

You decide that you're going to bed, end the fresh hell that's been today despite the seemingly high note that it ended on. On your team's way back to the sleeper car you're staying in, Hakurin bumps into someone you guess is from the Hidden Sand, based on their clothing. Despite her apologizes, the ninja reprimands her harshly in a raspy voice. The Suna-nin heads off in the opposite direction from your team.

Looking outside the train, you realize that the inky blackness means you're in the famous tunnel running under the mountain range between the Land of Wind and the Land of Earth. You wake up early the next morning to your sensei poking you in the face repeatedly. You wonder if this is some kind of bizarre dream, but she keeps repeating your name and telling you to get up.

You roll over and out of bed, following Hōōmaru-sensei out into the hallway, joining your teammates and sensei. You realize that it's probably only five-thirty or so, and everyone is in their pajamas. You're in a pair of loose pants, Jimmaru is in a t-shirt and boxer shorts, and is holding... something. Hakurin is in a matching green top and pants covered in little Hyuga symbols, you wonder if the Hyuga clan has some kind of gift shop where you get things like that. Hōōmaru-sensei is the only one actually dressed.

You realize why she dragged you out of bed when you head to one of the passengers, and see the other genin teams in a similar state of disarray, though Nemui is notably missing. Each genin team and their sensei are standing, facing a man in a mask. You figure he's an ANBU from Suna, given that his mask is humanoid, some kind of grinning demon. Jimmaru asks sensei if there are any Iwa-nin on the train, and she just shakes her head and shushes him.

The Sand ANBU gives the teams instructions to sweep the train, assigning the Mist team to the first third, the Cloud team to the middle third, and your team to the last third. He says you're looking for an unidentified ninja, possible dressed in a Sand uniform, as well as the missing Cloud genin, describing Nemui. He dismisses you to your missions and says he'll be in the engine car if he's needed.

>>48939516
You decide that you should gear up and get right to the mission, so you waste no time going back to your room and dressing for the mission as well as gearing up. You emerge from your room about the same time as Hakurin, Jimmaru coming out a few minutes later. None of you have very many weapons or too much gear, considering your previous mission. While searching another sleeper car you get a suspicious feeling, this whole situation is just too weird...

Guess I'm late, but personally I think we've really had our eyes on those pajamas since they're in the same vein as our usual style. I could definitely see us wearing them, we'd really be out of sight!

>>48940318
Never thought to do that.
Sounds pretty great though.

>>48940318
You decide that you want to bring up how shady and sketchy this situations with the rest of your team. You pull Hakurin aside and wave Hōōmaru-sensei and Jimmaru over. You comment on how odd this situation is and your teammates agree with you. Hakurin is especially suspicious, considering that you're supposed to search all but one car, and you didn't see either of the alleged Sand ninjas' faces. Hōōmaru-sensei tells you to just keep it quiet and keep searching. You notice that she's being unusually stern, and think that you want your sensei back...

Shaking that idea out of your head you keep searching alongside Hakurin, quietly discussing what's wrong with the whole situation. Using her Byakugan, you're able to search the cars just with a cursory glance. Your team's search takes close to half an hour, and you meet back up to head to the middle section of the train. You head there to meet up with an help the Cloud team if they need it.

When you reach that part of the train, it's darkened and silent.

You head through that section nonchalantly, until you reach the dining car where you hear a feminine voice hiss at you from behind the bar, "Psst, get out of the open! I'm staking this out!" You decide to join her behind the bar. You wave your team on, and after bit, you wonder why you've been sitting in this position for half an hour, nothing's happening...

You stay with Chuui behind the counter, for almost another hour. You suppose the civilians aren't allowed out of their rooms because of the current situation. But Just waiting in the darkened car seems a bit odd. After another fifteen minutes of waiting, you feel the train shudder a bit and then continue on its way. Every time you try to do anything Chuui just shushes you or pulls you back behind the bar. It's around this time that you feel a very annoyed, very blue presence on the other side of the counter.

Hōōmaru-sensei stares you in the face with quite the annoyed expression when you stand to face her. After a good five-minute grilling of asking where you were, you wheel on the Cloud kunoichi, and ask her what the hell all this was about. "It was too dangerous out there, L-sensei told me to hold the rear." Your palm is going to leave a noticeable mark where it hit your forehead.

You ask Hōōmaru-sensei for a rundown of what happened. She tells you that the Mist team had cornered the unknown assailant, and with your teams help and the help of L and V, the assailant was forced off the train, unfortunately, this leaves his identity a mystery. Luckily Nemui was rescued and is fine, but the Sand ANBU is in critical shape. You know you won't live down missing this fight.

You decide to just rest, and eventually, you fall asleep, hey, you didn't get your eight hours last night, might as well make up for it. You wake up later that day, it's almost evening in fact. You're pretty groggy, but remember snippets of an awful dream you had, every girl in your life was berating you, you think. Maybe spend so much time with Jimmaru and this train ride are having an adverse affect on you.

You see a note pinned to your door, it's from sensei, and it's an apology for being so grouchy this morning, along with an invitation to dinner. You are pretty hungry. When you get to the car she offered to dine in, you see just sensei is sat at the table. You go and sit with her.

"You ever have one of those days where nothing goes right, and it seems like you're literally incapable of making the right decision? And even when you feel like you DID make the right decision, it all goes wrong anyway?" You ask as you sit down across from sensei, "I've apparently been having one of those days for the last 48 hours." She laughs at this and tells you that she knows what you mean, before comparing you to the Fourth Hokage. And damn is the comparison apt...

You get the food at this point, some kind of pink grilled steak. You've never had something like this before, but the sweet, pinkish meat is allegedly a dish quite popular in the Hidden Mist. Sensei loves it, and she's eating so voraciously that you're sure that even if you wanted to talk, you wouldn't be able to get anything in.

It's actually kind of nice, not having to talk for once on this train ride from Shirou's nightmares. After dinner and dessert, sensei puts a hand on your shoulder, gives you a thumbs up, and tells you that you can always come to her if you need something on a mission. The two of you split up, a smile on your face and your mood lifted. You drift your way into the dining car, and an unfamiliar voices calls out to you, "Yo, Kuromo!" you turn around to see the Mist genin, Jensho, sitting at the bar, gesturing for you to join him. You make note that he's got a black eye.

You decide that you can correct him later, so you decide to sit up next to him on the bar stool to his right. You're about to order before he claps you on the back and starts talking about how great it feels to have good luck and find something that you've been looking for. You agree with him tentatively, and correct him on your name. He apologizes quickly, clearly not listening before he orders you something that you realize is alcoholic. Sorry for short post, but dealing with something irl at the moment, normally scheduled questing will be back soon.

Pretty much, 18 would have let you stay relatively sober, 19 would have let you keep up, and 20 lets you beat him in drinking. And Uzumaki, Senju, and Kaguya have high alcohol tolerance.

Village Hidden in the Flavor!

>>48943037
Obviously the next step is learning to medicalnin it up so that it buffs our allies prior to fights.

And poisons to incorporate ingredients into fights.

Also creating a style of combat based around cutlery and kitchen utensils.

>>48943037
This was then leads to us discovering our Kekkei genkai poison release

>>48943079
We have a purpose in life now, The Village hidden in Flavor.

>>48943104
Oh god, We cook so well they sleep flawlessly so they are able to fight at 150%. We sneak into our targets houses as a master cook and poison them only to slip right out.

Too be fair, Alot of kitchen knives are almost the same weight as Daggers or Kuani's I think.

>>48943124
We're socially awkward because our Sub-con is trying to keep those we care about away sense they aren't immune to our poisons we release when it turns on.

Not even that.
Awaken medicinal properties via chakra, like a ritual for jutsu.
Our special fugu/ghost chili sauce is harmless on our medical nin'd food, the chakra neutralizes it.
And we know how to handle it.
Applied to eyes or released in a bomb though- plus or minus chakra fuckery to the ingredients?

>>48942981
You accept Jensho's hospitality, he's paying after all. You spend a good, long time drinking with your new acquaintance it's pretty late at night before he stumbles off towards his sleeper car, nearly falling down all the way. To your credit, you impress the bartender so much with your knowledge of the vintage you've been downing that he gifts you a bottle. You wander to your room, and vaguely remember interacting with someone before falling asleep cradling the bottle in your arms.

The next morning, you walk confidently, though with a bit of a headache, to breakfast in the same car you've had dinner the previous two nights. You exited the tunnel before dawn, so you woke up to blinding light, and all you can see out the windows are miles of rocks and sand. You sit down and are served a plate of waffles, bacon, and sausages, along with a glass of orange juice. Hakurin and Jimmaru join you in short order, him sitting across from you, and Hakurin oddly close. You can't remember what happened last night clearly, but you know that you talked to Hakurin for a while...

>A) Ask her about it

>B) Just play along

The question is what did we sway to whoo her to act like this. I really hope we don't need to constantly drink to make friends outside of combat.

>>48943256
B
Does this mean we do better in social situations when we're drunk?

>>48943347
Well idk if that anon gets it, but I do.
Still, dunno if Kuro immediately conned the dots.
He is a kid.

>>48943391
Well it does get kinda in the way of things regardless unless we were actually interested in the Hyuuga girl.
But she seems pretty cool so I'm neutral on it.

Can't wait for it to be revealed that were related to the second and have some weird variations of the wood release

Kuro's definitely enough of a doofus to come from that lineage. Just probably not directly from Tobirama.

>>48943571
Were extremely far off from him and also the last surviving member to acquire a variation of the Kekkei genkai

>>48943493
You decide to play along with Hakurin and not mention it, though you do shoot Jimmaru a look to make sure he doesn't say anything. Breakfast is pretty uneventful, aside from Hakurin acting all cutesy with you. When Hōōmaru-sensei finally appears, she raises her eyebrows at you and gives you a knowing smirk. At this point, Jimmaru has left for somewhere, and Hakurin went back to her room for something. Hōōmaru-sensei gives you another thumbs up, and congratulations you on becoming so friendly with your teammate.

You ask sensei what happened last night, and with a laugh, she sits down next to you, holding a mug of coffee. She tells you that when you came back to your team's sleeper car, you started flirting with Hakurin. And you flirted with her well, according to sensei, if not a bit weird. She tells you that she's never heard someone talk in 'that way' about the veins around a byakugan user's eyes, and when you blush at that she says that's the same color Hakurin was, and laughs at your expense. You think to yourself that no matter if you're the suavest guy around or a bumbler with no charisma, you get laughed at...

Just then, the announcement that you'll reach Hidden Sand by nightfall comes over the intercom. You silently thank whatever deities there are out there that you'll be able to get off of this forsaken train soon enough. Hōōmaru-sensei also thanks you for your presents last night, and that the whole team loves them. You see that she's referring to the gems you got, as one is around her neck on a necklace, and you remember one on Hakurin's hair clip. You acknowledge her thanks, and excuse yourself.

>End Shortened Thread that was really just a continuation of the last one

Post thread begins now, I'll stick around for a while, try to keep the post-thread alive.

>>48943830
She'd had taken our fucking bottle of booze from us. That shit is probably expensive as fuck.

>>48943830
Man you senseifags really want to see Kuro get mocked rejected and given hell by his team for the next while.

Is it straight up just because she presumably has a vagina?

>>48943954
So an awkward as fuck Ninja, who is amazing at fighting but needs booze to become suave. What the fuck are we?

Also what type of shit did the bartender give us in the bottle? Like really expensive and good or eh levels of quality.

Thanks for the run QM. Glad to see our team loves? us

So far one trait running through our family is social awkwardness what Kekkei genkai could cause this?

>>48944014
Price is not strictly an indication of quality with booze.
Plenty of cheap things beat out competitive status symbol liquors on taste routinely.

>>48944064
well considering we impressed the bartender its why I'm asking. If its shit we give it to our team, if its good we use it to cook.

>>48944016
There's also being a good cook and how when we're drunk our social awkwardness goes a way

So our random charisma when drunk may be an actual thing or maybe an Indication as to the type of man she likes

>>48944014
It's not too expensive, but it's not cheap swill either.
>>48944016
It's unrelated to your bloodline, if I'm remembering correctly.
>>48944231
You were just less inhibited by anons telling you what to say and failing rolls.

>>48944350
So can our Drunkness be an aid from now on? No Shit, I'm married. I don't need to sway any more women.

>>48944403
Only if you pass the roll. Below 19 and you wouldn't have been suave at all.

>>48944428
So save our Nat 20's for suave times? Got it. Sense we can't for our fucking life think of anything but puns to tell.

>>48944461
Better save those 20's for Suna. Cause they're questioning everybody in here.

>>48944428
So I propose that we should ride the hyuga train as long as possible, once our Kekkei genkai awakens the hyugas would want a piece of that, if it's strong

>>48944477
>Has to speak to the guards
>Sensei panics
>Team panics
>We had some booze before hand, We got this.

>>48944491
Well I mean, its not like we're DATING her yet so we should keep going how we are. No need to route lock before the exam. where our team might just fucking die.

>>48944515
I wouldn't kill your ENTIRE team during the exam.
>>48944491
There are conditions that would facilitate the awakening of features relating to your bloodline.

>>48944515
Our team dies because of stupid shit,we leave the leaf forever blaming them, we start this generations crime syndicate

>>48944540
So us and Sensei survive. Got it.

>>48944562
Nah, We run off to start the Village hidden in Flavor in the Land of Tea?

>>48944573
We should use that shit as cover so
That no one would expect anything from a village of chefs then we completely destroy a village and kill there kage

>>48944562
>>48944655
Why do you want to go rogue if people die in the Chunin Exams? It happens all the time.

What if we discover orochimarus unattended rape cave and get fucking destroyed

>>48944723
Because who dones't want to build an empire of Cook ninja's?

I'll roll with whatever in all honesty. I just love poking fun at doing stupid/crazy shit.

>>48944723
Also stop uncovering my plots for other characters and easter eggs.

>>48944844
We getting rape cave or is someone going to get destroyed in the exams and get all but hurt about it?

>>48944891
More or less the second one.

I'd call this the most autistic thread on 4chan right now but that would be an insult to actual autism

>>48944965
Someone's never been to /qst/

>>48944925
Goddammit, I missed the whole fucking thread and somehow, Kuro fucked up another mission/task.

I blame Jiraiya for this and only take cutesy Hakurin as compensation.

>>48946362
Blame me all you want Dice, you weren't here to stop me.

>>48946489
If I had a choice, I would take $10 million dollars, a way to stay fit regardless of what I eat, and simply sit around and stop your shenanigans. Sadly, I can't and have IRL responsibilities.

>>48946672
One day my madness will be ended. Also, We need to get boozed more often.

>>48946814
Having an underage drinker as an MC does sound like fun.

He can just cast transformation jutsu to look 70 whenever he wants to buy alcohol
