Evening, /qst/. While many of you are likely familiar with Shinobi Quest, some of you may not be- in which case, welcome! I highly recommend checking out the previous threads on the archive for clarity, but lurkers are always welcome.

We’ll also be debuting a new OP image after today’s thread, courtesy of our lovely drawfag. I figured we should stick to the original, at least for this first post on the new board. Opinions on it aside, let’s having a good training thread- and try not to break any more hearts, you bastards.

>>567982

Can't break mod hearts when they dont have one.

Hey Wargle. Glad to see ya running.

>>567982

Might want to edit that.

I thought her nose was her mouth and her mouth was her chin.

Cartman!Tsuki came to mind for a moment.

>>567982
I like the new OP image. Where is based drawfag? I want to thank him personally for all of the awesome and hard work he's done making so much art for this quest. And does he have an alias, if i ever need to find him?

>>568002
yeah, the mouth is kinda massive
Lookin like Frog Sage Tsuki

>>567995
He said he's going to run soon so no worries, Personally I'm more worried about Mr.Wong

Welcome to qst wargle, now on to training arguments and power sperging!

>>567971
Wargle, you are a fucking faggot bitch shill sellout fucking faggot for posting on /qst/.

But I'll play, because I can't live without you.

Woo! Live Thread! Just caught up in the archive the other day and loving it so far. It got me thinking and now I gotta sperg out for a bit to get it off my mind.

I am going to attempt to make a difficult sell: Tsukihime should pick up genjutsu. Let me "TL:DR" my points before too many people shun me for daring to speak such heresy.

-Genjutsu and Tsuki are a good fit: Genjutsu is almost exclusively intelligence based. The smarter the user, the greater the illusion.

-Good for dealing with "teh plebs": Bruisers and meatheads without proper training or aptitude can be rendered very helpless or even turned on each other without having to get our hands dirty or even break a sweat.

-Room to grow: In addition to the limited but still useful established canon uses, Non-Sharingan genjutsu is some of the least explored territory in all of Naruto and is therefore ripe for extra-canon shenanigans with developing it and coming up with new, cool, maybe even ingenious uses of the technique. I have one in mind I am going to try to pitch here in fact. (Nevermind that, in canon, ordinary genjutsu is SUPPOSED to be useful enough to keep it a mainstay as the third part of the shinobi jutsu trifecta alongside ninjutsu and taijutsu.)

Stay tuned for my pitch, or don't, it's coming regardless.

[obligatory post whining about too many or not enough puppets]

>>568061
No, just because in Boruto Quest we already have a MC focusing on it.

>>568052

You mean Crusty, not Chuckles.

>>568061

Fuck off with the powersperging.

>>567982
I'd want to stick with the original picture. The mouth looks really weird.

I'm sorry drawfag, but you need to work on your mouths.

>>568052
Chuckles? I was referencing Crusty's Homeless Mutant Quest, god the power sperg arguments at the end of each thread were fun.

>>568039
NO
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'VE DONE
CUE RABBIT FAGS AND FOUR BEAST FAGS SHOVING THERE SHIT EVERYWHERE

>>568061
We can realistically master two schools anon, we can either drop Ninjutsu or Swords and I doubt anyone wants to do either

Guys why dont we just do what Jiraya did and let the summoning jutsu force us wherever? Im sure Wargle already know what summons are best.

>>568025
>>568035
The Hobo is dead.

>>568052
Swing and a miss, thanks for playing.

The pitch:

I suspect the main reason so many are down on the illusion stuff is that: 1, mundane genjutsu is both rare and underwhelming in the series; 2, it is limited in its usefulness by strict and avoidable conditions that must be met for it to work; and 3, can be easily and somewhat arbitrarily broken rendering it extremely unreliable.

So let's work with that knowledge. The biggest issue here, to me, seems to be the third one, the weakness that if someone realizes they are in a genjutsu, they can simply opt to leave it if they know how. So, if you want to get around that weakness you have a couple logical choices: either make genjutsu that the subject doesn't realize they are in, or make genjutsu that the subject doesn't want to leave. Good to know, probably worth bearing in mind for crafting illusions, but what about making a genjutsu the enemy doesn't want to leave?

Who says you only use genjutsu on enemies? If the greatest weakness of genjutsu is that people can "opt out" of it, then using it on enemies seems silly. Why not use it beneficially on one's self or allies? There has got to be some ways of doing that. Genjutsu buffs! Genjutsu painkillers! Genjutsu augmented reality! Genjutsu messages! Genjutsu massages?

Enough segue, let me get to the point.

Fact: Genjutsu is the art of using chakra to alter the sensory experiences of an individual.

Fact: Genjutsu is not constrained by normal time perception. (I realize this one is only demonstrated with Tsukkomi but it shouldn't entirely be out of the realm of possibility for other genjutsu in some capacity.)

To be blunt: I am thinking of a genjutsu for use on self or allies capable of dilating time perception and filtering experiences (damping pain, etc.) for use in combat -- a combat trance genjutsu if you will. Self would probably be easiest, essentially a genjutsu with a range of zero. And flavor wise the fit is great, I think. It could be a way for Tsuki to take the brutal chaos of combat and make it elegant -- every move selected with care and consideration for maximum effect, like a game of shogi, and yet taking place in the briefest of moments.

To my mind, such a genjutsu would be demanding and require a great deal of training to sustain for long, not to mention she would have to condition herself to go into and out of it with a minimum of effort and thought. But consider the payoff! It also would synergize well with afterglow as she becomes stronger and faster and harder to keep up with.

>>568066
eh it's too late for puppets, I was all for them at first but I think just a bit of supplementary gadgetry is enough with Tsuki's stellar release.

>>568094
No see >>568071

>>568094
tl;dr, don't care

>>568061
The rule is to hold sperging till post thread, or you'll upset wargle.

Also I agree with this guy. >>568071

I like the idea of genjutsu, but the problem I see with it is like this: the real high level enemies that are actually a major challenge will tend to be good enough to not be affected by it.

On the other hand, we are indeed pretty well suited for it and our sensei is perhaps the best genjutsu guy around (even if it is sharingan bullshit). Maybe if we had something pretty subtle that doesn't count as an insta-win if it succeeds, but is hard to notice/dispel and useful for cunning plans?

After all of Nori’s prodding about climbing trees, you certainly didn’t think you’d be up one again so soon, but here you are, scoping out your family home just before midnight.

The grounds of the Norihime manor are normally quite peaceful at night, with little need for security. With the added guard details Maru added at your request, however, your home looks more like a fortress- with floodlights and timed patrols making their rounds.

The Norihime never do anything halfway.

Of course, your flight from home earlier in the day likely hasn’t helped matters.
You’d decided that talking to Danzo before embarking on your training was the best course of actions- but now you aren’t entirely sure. Obviously, as the heiress, all of these guards will recognize you- entering will not be an issue. However, you haven’t decided if that is a good thing or not- if they catch you, Maru will know in short order; and when Maru is told, so will Father.

Quite the conundrum, really.

Should you…

1. Sneak into your own home? You can surely get inside without to much hassle, right? Easy in and out, talk to Danzo, pack your things. No stress.

2. Present yourself. Make everyone’s lives easier- except maybe your own.

>>568111
We're missing rabbit fags.

>>568099

Actually, a small puppet might still be doable.

Parts of why Kaguya acts terribly is because of her overwhelming power which has corrupted her to quite a big extend. If we had her manifest here in a purely physical form without much powers, she might learn to enjoy and see the world from how we view it which might be able to prevent her from going full End the World.

Of course, there'll be safeguards like we needing to be close to the puppet for it to function, etc.

I don't care for the puppets path of upgrades.

I'm just saying that a small puppet that Kaguya might be able to power and experience life on earth might be a good step on getting to learn to live and let live.

I wasn't thinking a huge actual war puppet but something like a toy. Like Haro or Tori size.

I just prefer major shitposting arguements be done in post thread as not to waste valuable bump limit-

We're on /qst/ now though, so it really doesn't matter as much. No harm no foul.

Also, looks like we're turning ourselves in. Dastardly.

Writing.

>>568209
And that pisses me off more then anything, if your character can't fail what is the point? Compelling characters have arcs, they make mistakes, they learn from them or sometimes don't, they fail and lose. In my opinion the qm should slam choices where the players try to handle every situation perfectly at the expense of the character

>>568239
Ya they helped us feel better about ourselves but were still mad at Danzo and Dad and they need to know how much this hurts us

>>568252
Why not? His choices let to our mom being dead let him suffer a bit

>>568262
We don't need to make Maru and the other servants suffer. Also just because we are talking things out mean everything is fine. Just stop trying to force yourself on the others.

>>568244
You knew it was going to be a hard sell and you tried anyways, so, respect, I guess.

On one hand, i don't mind powersperging too much, but on the other you knew you were only going to get screamed at and posted anyway, knowing that you would have to apologize to the anons who you knew wouldn't like what you had to sell.

Anon never pitch to a crowd if you know they don't want the product.

hope we get some kind of kinjutsu training in, Tsuki with Raiga's swords would be dope.

>>568272
I'm not forcing myself on others, I'm explaining my thought processes and giving an argument about why I think we should pick this choice. And I'm not saying we want to hurt our servants, just that we want to avoid a conversation with our father

>>568289
What are some of Tsuki's flaw anon?

>>568297
Won't be till after the exams since we get them if we prove ourselves in the exams

>>568304
shit, you're right, totally forgot.

>>568297
Yeah we defintaly need to pull something like beating lee with the swords to prove were worthy for the kiba

>>568304
>What are some of Tsuki's flaw anon?

There are some that might be more obvious in later threads.

I can't say them, though. Promised Wargle I wouldn't.

>>568309
No harm no foul anon, we'll most likely get some downtime to practice them after the exams

>>568331

My brand!

>>568186
>>568331

>>568186

You don't need special eyes.

>>568304
I'd say Tsuki's flaws are her need to live up to her mother's memory, her arrogance, her need to prove that, daddy's bribery aside, she can be a great ninja for her village, and her feeling that she knows what's best for people

Just what I've gathered, though, might all be total bullshit

>>568304
She is quick too anger but quick too calm down, minor sociopathic tendencies and pride, God damn that pride

If we're powersperging, we can get our hands back on that flower and figure out how to pull a Zetsu and get chakra stealing, corpse eating, and possibly presence hiding powers. We're gonna need to get rid of bodies, and Tsuki is thirsty for chakra, might as well kill two birds with one stone.

>>568304
>What are some of Tsuki's flaw anon?

I think her biggest flaw right now is her arrogance. Remember the forest of death?

>Shikamaru suggests an ok plan to get past Gaara
>"lolno that's stupid, here have my modification which I thought about for five minutes"
>plan Tsuki fails miserably
>no contingency whatsoever
>get through alive anyway with basically plot armour

Tsuki could easily have gotten everyone killed back then.

>>568360

I'm not sure I want anything to do with that flower until our research reveals anything.

Also it feeds on blood, not eat bodies.

>>568360
Tsuki is a thirsty girl, her tsuki is especially so

>>568360
I'd rather we not fuck with that thing

>>568367
>high rolls are plot-armor
c'mon man, I don't know about that

>>568304
>What are some of Tsuki's flaw anon?

She's controlled by anons.

>>568344
>>568345
>>568367

Alright so we have
>Pride
>Passionate
>Arrogance

So Tsuki would never be someone who would apologize first for someone's mistake and could be a prick about it?

By the way I'm not trying to be a cunt here I'm just saying we need to play Tsuki to her flaws along with her strengths if we want to be true to the character. And if that means putting us in a bad situation then so be it

>>568379
Nothing you can do about that, thats just luck more then anything

>>568388

Here's a huge one: >>568384

>>568360
I'd be for stealing Chakra, especially if we can do it while in stellar.

>>568388
She might be someone who apologizes first if she sees it as fitting of her station. The nobles burden, I must apologize because if I do not this peasant surely won't.

>>568367
>>568379
tsuki's gotten her shit kicked in before for her arrogance, remember our first mission I think it was, where a bandit ko'ed her with one punch and she was out for the rest of the fight?

>>568388
Tsuki is also smart and cares about others.
>>568404
That was a stun and the fight was over because the rest of our team wiped the floor with the non ninjas.

>>568404

He didn't knock her out.

Sucker punched her and she recovered in two seconds.

>>568388
I kinda view this as confronting her issues, too prideful too do nothing.

When we confront dad we ain't gonna say sorry for Shit. Just ask some questions and maybe an apology for worrying everyone but not our actions.

>>568404
Not even a punch, it was a straight up bitch slap.

>>568404
Yea but that plan worked, every got their targets

>>568413
Just because someone is smart doesn't mean their emotions can't get the better of them and cloud their judgement, just look at Odysseus

>>568403
But would her pride let her do that? Admit that she was in the wrong when she clearly wasn't?

>>568450
We aren't saying we are wrong. We are just saying how did it was poor and thought out, and we would have done it anyways. Roughly.

>>568434
We had some of the top leaf jonin against some mooks who weren't even ninjas. Of course we won. Tsuki shouldn't have been even scratched though. She thought they were beneath her notice (was kinda right too) and because of that she let her guard down. Ok, we just rolled badly. But in story terms, she screwed up because she wasn't taking them seriously as a threat.

>>568465
That is correct. But some anons like to think we got KO'd for some reason.

>>568450
Well, it's one thing to admit your mistakes to the people who practically raised you and quite another to do so to a complete stranger or a clueless barbarian like Nori

>>568465
That she did. And it was a lesson shes learnt from. Save Gaara but then again, dealing with a Tailed host is always abit of a toss up.

>>568477
And finding out a dark secret about you that was hidden is a betrayal. Finding out we were engineered to have this power is a big thing to deal with. It brings up the question were we just made to be a weapon for the leaf? Did we really have any choice on the path we were going to take?

>>568492
We aren't going rogue yet anon.

>>568492
I mean, we only know that Danzo and Not-Dead Dad knew, the rest of the staff probably have no clue, they maybe just saw their beloved "princess" storm out with tears in her eyes and feel shitty about it.

No- it’s best to be mature about this. Sneaking away leaving everyone in the dark is irresponsible, and while father might deserve that, Maru and the others certainly don’t.

You only hope they appreciate this sacrifice.


You hop down from the tree, and make for the front door, keeping a casual pace. It isn’t long before the guards spot you- although they seem rather unsure as to how to approach you.

“Ah- Mistress Tsuki! You’ve returned- Ms. Maru and your Father have been quite worried, and-”

“Yes, I understand. Go on, tell Maru I’ve returned. Surely there’s no need for alarm; I haven’t even been gone a day.” you state calmly, trying to override the guard before he gets overzealous.

You don’t want him making a scene- this is going to be tedious enough as it is.

The guard salutes somewhat awkwardly, before running off to report your return.

“Good thing he’s loyal, even when selling me out.” you chuckle inwardly.


--------------------------------------

You wait for Maru in the garden, taking a seat beside the large fountain at the center. The water sparkles, reflecting the bright moonlight from above. It’s relaxing, and a good place to meet your tempestuous head maid.

“Tsuki-dono!” Maru’s voice calls out, drawing your attention to the entrance of the manor.

As she approaches you, her features become clearer- still in uniform, Maru looks very tired. Mentally, you chastise yourself- Maru is always up before dawn, and surely hasn’t slept. The woman has likely run herself ragged.

When she sits next to you, however, there is no anger in her voice; only relief.

“Tsuki-dono. I’m not privy to what happened between you and Danzo- but please, don’t be too hard on either him or your Father. They only want what’s best for you; we all do.”

Your anger, which had subsided earlier, can be felt bubbling back to the surface- if only slightly.

She doesn’t know- and even if she did, what does it matter? She couldn’t understand.

“Maru.” you say, putting on a smile that borders on saccharine.

“I appreciate the concern all of you have shown for me. I revealed myself to ease that concern- as not to place an undue burden upon you. However- as you said, you don’t know what happened; so I ask you do not instruct me how I should proceed.”

She seems a bit taken aback by how cold the remark is- and maybe it was a bit much.

But you aren’t going to be scolded like a spoiled child. Especially not over this.

>>568507
And the staff will tell our father that were back and we have to talk to him then

I've actually never seen a QM use colored text on /qst/ before

>>568492
To be honest, I think the following questions are more pertinent to Tsuki right now:

>Did my dad know the procedure was risky?
>Did he consider it an acceptable risk?
>If so, what did he have to gain? Is he just using me for himself, or is his aim to bring more power to the Norihime family (i.e. me)?
>If our dad considered my mother acceptable collateral damage, what kind of man does that make him?
>What does that make me?
>Danzo knew about my power and kept it back. Meanwhile he's been treating me like some sort of protege ever since I was young. The Uchiha head (Sasuke's dad?) called me Danzo's pawn. Am I a pawn?

>>568528

It's fine.

Just new.

We'll get used to it.

>>568510
It really REALLY bothers me how mad Tsuki is about all this.
I don't wanna call it forced but i feel like we have been on the rails for this entire section.
I have faith in Wargle that he knows what hes doing but god i can't be the only one who feels this way.

>>568528

Might as well try it.

It just feels weird seeing a colour other than red, black or green.

>>568528
It's cool, I just had to change my theme. Blue on blue was hard to read.

>>568540
I'm mad right with Suki, if it was me I'd be a hell of a lot more pissed off than she is.

>>568540
Then maybe you should vote for something else.

>>568528
I could care less bro
Get as creative as you wanna

Apologize for that shit. This is Maru, not Father or Danzo. She is basically the closest thing to a mother we have.

Danzo and father can get the cold shoulder, Maru does not deserve

>>568540
You are. The gravity of what she found out is enormous. You'd have to be fucking devoid of emotion to not be angry about it. Stop sperging

>>568528
I'm cool with it, I'll just have to adapt now colored text. Take advantage of the fact that for better or worse, you're a /Qst/er now. Nazi mod however is still getting the full wrath of my Zimbabwe'an turtle curse

>>568540
It's been a matter of hours since she discovered that her dad and closest confidant were complicit in working with a traitor to her village who used a procedure that created her and killed her mother, all in the name of the village and prestige.

Talk with her team aside, she has every right to be angry with them.

>>568560

Agreed.

Apologize for that shit. Maru is basically our mother. Doesnt matter if its now or later, we gotta make that right.

Danzo and Father deserve the cold shoulder, Maru just loved us unconditionally.

>>568568
you'll have my chinese curses to go with it.

>>568560
>>568574
Umm...

>>568560
No, Tsuki is mad and is lashing out she will apologize when she cools off but not right now when she feels Maru is going to give her a lecture, besides we don't know how deep this goes. Maru could be aware of the whole thing we don't know

>>568560
She may not deserve it entirely but she is overstepping her bounds. She's automatically assumed it's a minor thing and that Tsuki is acting childish.

>>568579
Yeah I know fucking captcha, plus im a longtime lurker, firstime poster

>>568560
This.
She gets it, but maru has nothing to do with it, she has no clue at all.

Just apologize for snapping at her, and tell her that this is a sensitive subject at the moment, something that should stay between us, father and danzo.

>>568560
>>568574

Huh, this ID thing might not be so bad.

Unfortunately, I disagree. You're right, Maru does not deserve this, but under these circumstances and how I feel Tsuki is as a character this seems pretty appropriate.

I also personally enjoy that ice cold buisnesswoman mode is how Tskui lashes out. It seems to fit very well.

>>568610
Gotta agree with this guy.

>>568610
Backing this sentiment.

>>568610
Frankly, the ID thing is the worst.

I've found myself glaring at certain IDs in other quests during arguements and that defeats the whole damn purpose of the anonymity, attack and debate the ideas not the person.

You see now that this was a mistake. If it was someone trying to purposely vote more than once, its a certain bet, he/she would have reset their router and gotten a new ID.

>>568622
Also this isn't even a vote yet. Wargle is writing more. I was just agreeing about the other non ID stuff.

>>568610
Yeah I know captcha fucked me over. Tried posting once and it fucked up, so I posted twice and the thing pushed both through.

Im all good with waiting to give an apology, she just doesnt deserve fucking serial businesswoman Tsuki

>>568610
I'm down with ice cold Tsuki. I like seeing protagonists get pushed outside their comfort zone and react because of it.

“Your Father has locked himself in his study, and Danzo hasn’t been seen since this morning, Tsuki-dono!”

There’s the anger you expected. Maru cares, and that’s the source of it- even if she doesn’t know her anger is misguided.

“You could’ve let us know- even a word of explanation would’ve sufficed!” she exclaims.

“I’m here now. Am I not free to free to do as I wish? This is certainly not the longest I’ve been absent from the manor.” You respond, calmly.

Your lack of emotion only seems to infuriate your made further- before she breaks down in tears.

“Tsuki-dono, I…” she mumbles, before embracing you in a hug.

“We were worried. It was so unlike you to just leave- and Danzo was so concerned that you might leave the village, that I….”

You sigh, and return the hug. Maru doesn’t deserve this- your anger is better reserved for Father and Danzo.

“I’m sorry, Maru. I cannot tell you about it right now, but there were reasons why I left- and I’ll be leaving again for a while, to train for the next round of exams. It wouldn’t have felt right not to tell you.” you murmur, hugging your head maid tightly.

“I understand, Tsuki-dono. Just know that I’ll always be here for you- never feel like you cannot come to me if you feel distressed.”

You smile faintly in her embrace. No, she deserves only the best. Not this cold anger.

For a few moments, you simply continue to embrace, without a word spoken.

>>568626
Oh i know. Was just addressing the ID thing and raising an example.

>>568622
If you get a significant spike in vote ID's you know it's bullshit now.

>>568643
That seems like a pretty fair anti-ID argument to me. I'm coming into it with an open mind because i haven't been on QST much before quests were exiled here, but I also don't have any real firsthand experience with it either. I do admit that i've paid more attention to IDs than I have to most trips in the past.

I guess we'll just see how it goes and hope for the best.

Now, for more family drama! Maby even some training!

“Alright, I need to speak with Danzo before I pack my things. I know you’ll need to tell Father I’m here- but I’d really rather not talk to him right now, if it can be avoided…” you explain, breaking the hug.

Maru nods, before biting her finger in thought.

“It might be hard to predict how Master Yoru will react. It’s been some time since he’s locked himself away….”

Maybe you’ll get lucky and the old man will stay locked up in his hole for a while- before he tries to brush it all under the rug. If you’re lucky.

Maru bows before heading inside, and you quickly follow suit. As she heads upstairs, you make for the cellar, where Danzo’s room is.

Even if he think’s he’s hiding, you have a pretty good idea where he is.

His room is empty, but once you open the panel to the elevator, you can see it’s been engaged.

He’s getting predictable in his old age.

Pulling out the key you swiped from his desk earlier, you proceed to engage the ignition for the elevator to the ROOT facility.

As the machine groans and grinds down the shaft, you have another moment to yourself- just to think. You committed to speaking with him, but haven’t really decided what you want to say….

1. Apologize. You shouldn’t have stormed out- and he’s not nearly as at fault as Father is.
2. Strictly business. Let him know that you're leaving for training, and when you will return. If you feel up to it, the two of you can discuss matters when you return.

3. Clear the air. You won’t apologize, but you don’t want Danzo dwelling on a matter he played so little a part in.

4. Leverage the guilt. He and Father are both to blame, and thus, if he wishes to redeem himself, he’ll need to make it up to you- first, he can tell you all he knows.

Apologize for storming out and for worrying him, especially about the leaving the village thing.

Sudoku for ants.

>>568833
Look, anon. I feel bad for Danzo at some level, but this is something that needs to cause anger. And getting over it in less then a fucking day would be so fucking weird.

>>568833
I'm sort of hoping that it'll make him think again before doing some shady shit because "only I know whats best for the village". Make him reexamine whether or not he's doing the right thing.

>>568853
Agreed. This is far more in character than apologizing, especially given the fact that Tsuki is a fairly prideful person. Even if she wasn't, it hasn't even been a day, and she just learned some prettybad things about her dad, and that Danzo at least knew about it and didn't tell her. I'd be confused if she weren't still pissed.

He's been better to her than her dad has, but he's still involved.

>>568888

On reading back the previous thread, according to him, Danzo provided council when Tsuki's mom asked him.

>“Your parents… Yoru and Asa…. Both of them knew Orochimaru. Your father is always susceptible to innovation- and when they were pitched the idea, when he told them just how much power it could bring your family….”

>“Yoru jumped on it. Of course, he wouldn’t force Asa into anything- while she had reservations, she saw how it could benefit the family, benefit Konoha- and benefit you, her unborn daughter. You would be unique among this world of warring Shinobi- you would have a power nobody else in history could ever boast of.”

>“When one of the most prolific Shinobi in your village’s history offers to make your daughter the next Hashirama Senju, do you decline? Do you dare withhold that potential from the world?”

>“That was Yoru’s stance. Asa saw the reason in it- and asked my council. I…. agreed, that it would be a risk worth undertaking, to preserve Konoha’s future.

The entire procedure might have just been on pedosnek's head but of course, this is just only on danzo's word.

>>568833
Honestly, I still don't 100% trust Danzo. He's capable of some really shady shit, and is very good at justifying it to himself.

My question is why is everyone placing the blame on our loved ones when the one that is deserving of our hate is Orochimaru
Father and Danzo made a mistake but getting this mad when we don't know the full story is crazy
We are letting assumptions make asses out of all of us

>>568905
>The next Senju

He meant in power and ability right? Not that they put Senju in Tsuki right?

>>568921

Power and ability, yes.

Not sure if they put Senju in Tsuki. I highly doubt it, though.

>>568921
Probably. Not forgetting influence.

>>568921
He meant in power
They wanted Tsuki to be the best

>>568826
inb4 ded danny :(

>>568913
We are just not up for talking to him the day we found out, it isn't like we are burning anything down.

>>568913
Emotions can male you illogical anon. She's upset and taking it out on the ones closest to her

>>568913
You mean the way a normal person would react? They could have said no, but they didn't they wanted a weapon

>>568913
Because they said "yes". They knew it'd be shady, dangerous, and morally fucked and they still said yes.
He didn't mind control them or force their hands.
We don't not-hate Orochimaru, but a sinner who strikes a bargain with the Devil is just as culpable for the loss of their soul.

>>568913
I would also rather we acquire a suicidal obsession with killing snek out of this than a massive rift with our family.

He's going down in about 500 episodes when we're finally strong enough to fight him.

>>568913
Because "you hurt the ones closest to you".

Yes it doesnt make full logical sense but it does make emotional sense, seeing that tsuki right now is reeling abit from the sense of betrayal. It'll take abit longer before those feelings subside.

>>568913
Orochimaru deserves a lot of the hate, don't get me wrong, but Father and Danzo still had a hand in it. They may not have known the full consequences of the decision, but ignorance does not make them fully innocent.

I'm all for making up with them in the near future, but not the same day we learned this.

>>568937
It's not illogical to be upset with them.

>>568913
Tsuki is a fairly immature and arrogant young girl. She just learned that a man who could have killed her at any time helped give her powers that threaten to hurt her anytime she uses them, killed her mother, and her father was all for it.

She is upset and lashing out at anyone, as evidenced with Maru. Her father was the biggest influence that had a hand in it that she could affect. Shes lashing out, not fully understanding where she should truly direct her anger

>>568963
better put than what I was about to vomit out

>lashing out at anyone, as evidenced with Maru.

Incorrect. She could have bitten the head off of her teammates, the guard and the maid at the front gate.

Head maid made the mistake of automatically assume Tsuki was at fault. It wasn't "What did Danzo and your father do to upset you?" It was, "What do you think you've been doing little lady!"

>>569003
Dude, she isn't disowning them or leaving forever, she's just rightfully mad at both of them.
It literally has not even been a full day, only a complete sociopath would shake off something like this so quickly.

>>568988
Sorry meant to link this to you >>568969

>>569003
Its not really half a story, considering that tsuki actually does have the stella chakra and pedosnek himself approached us to want to see it in action.

>>568988
Yeah, exactly. Tsuki's has nothing but legitimate reasons to be angry with her dad and Danzo right now, to say nothing of Orochimaru (I don't get where people think we're not blaming him for a thing he explicitly did), and Maru's first response was to try and rein her in like she was a little girl who should really know better than to make everyone worry like that.

Maru only got some of Tsuki's anger because she handled things really poorly, and even then Tsuki cooled her head almost immediately. Tsuki isn't lashing out indiscriminately.

>>568934
Oh really because it looks to me like these anons in the thread are ready to linch our Father

>>568937
I would think Tsuki would be smart enough not to fly of the handle as soon as she did though
she would ask questions and find out the full story then get all pissy
we when 0 to 100 too fucking quick

>>568947
>>568960
>>568963

but it just seems like Tsuki is too eager to just cast away the men she has known from birth and was raised by and completely disown them based on half a story.

Then you're interpreting this all incorrectly. We're mad at him. Tsuki wouldn't kill daddy. Unless he goes off the deep end and start with some weird rant about how mother was just a means to an end.Then she may consider it.

I don't get >>568969 at all either.

The elevator sputters to a stop, and you lift the security cage.

Sure enough, the old Shinobi sits at his desk, thumbing through a book, though it’s unclear what it is.

As you approach, he doesn’t look up.

“Danzo, it’s not polite to scorn a lady when she enters a room.” you chide, though not with malice.

“Tsuki-dono, I…” he starts, still not making eye-contact.

“Danzo. That wasn’t what we agreed upon. I’m here to talk.” you scold.

He closes the book, and returns your gaze.

“I’m sorry, Tsuki.” he says, his face still mournful.

“The past is the past, Danzo. You can’t bring her back, or undo what's been done. But- don’t apologize. I’m not quite ready to forgive either you or father.” you respond.

His shoulders sag a bit, but he says nothing.

“However, just because I haven’t forgiven you doesn’t mean I’m going to hold it against you. Besides, it doesn’t fit a shinobi of your caliber to wallow in sadness. If you’re truly sorry, I’d have you redouble your efforts- Konoha is weaker without your counsel.”


“ROOT again? Tsuki, as I said before, doing such a thing under Minato’s nose isn’t advisable…” he says, though he doesn’t sound nearly as sure of himself as he once did.

“I’d have us be prepared, if nothing else. Everything for Konoha’s safety, right?” you dig.

The old shinobi winces a bit, before sighing.
“Very well, Tsuki. I’ll catalog what repairs or enhancement the facility may need- along with preparing a list of former and prospective agents. I assume you are not staying for your month of training?” he concedes.

“No, I’ve decided to train with Itachi-sensei. One of the reasons I came back was to let you know- it’s for the best if everyone isn’t working through a malaise.” you explain.

Danzo deflates even further, but doesn’t say anything.

He likely knows it won’t make a difference.

“I’ll be gone for several weeks- I expect we’ll be having some in depth conversation when I return. Don’t let me down, Danzo.”

He takes a breath, then stands.

“It will be done. If you need me, I’ll be here.” he says.

“I’ll keep that in mind. Farewell, Danzo.” you say, walking back towards the elevator.

>>568913
They allowed him to do it.
>>569028
>Oh really because it looks to me like these anons in the thread are ready to linch our Father
Only just found the thread so I can't speak for others but I view it more as Tsuki found out that two people she trusts allowed someone she personally considers to be a monster to diddle with her while she was in utero and that very well could have killed her mother. Its also doesn't help that in an earlier thread Danzo made up some reason saying Orochimaru and his people where brought in to help mama Tsuki during childbirth. And blamed her death on Minato and his people.

>I would think Tsuki would be smart enough not to fly of the handle as soon as
Tsuki had just gone through a very tough couple of days. It doesn't matter how smart she is Emotions can come in and fuck you up without warning.

>>569028

Right. I mean first off we have pedosnek coming to the chuunin exams, also explicitly telling us to show off the stella release for him to see, when no one else save Danzo had actually witnessed us using it.

Considering our knowledge of root, that orochimaru had left Konoha and how Danzo looks at traitors, theres hardly any chance Danzo would have told pedosnek about stella release after we revealed it to Danzo.

Then when we speak with Danzo about the how and why Orochimaru knows of our chakra release, he basically implicates himself and father as being complicit in the genetic engineering of Tsuki and the eventual death of Tsuki's mom.

This is basically a confession. Not like someone else telling us that Danzo, orochimaru and father were in on this. The primary actors in have all but confessed to it.

>>569028
we aren't advocating anything as severe as you may think. mast of the "don't forgive them yet" camp do want to have an eventual reconciliation, just after some time has passed. This just doesn't seem like the sort of thing you put past you within a day of hearing it.

>>569075
I think that's fair. Of course anybody saying we stay mad at them 4EVR are edgy little faggots.

>>569058

man, thats a cold tsuki.

>>569120
We just need the basics theirs only one Uchiha and it would be smarter to train our other skills to make us stronger overall. Besides Tsuki has the feeling that Orochimaru is going to pull some shady shit like attacking the village

Thanks for the spellcheck bra have a Hinata

The whole linch thing was hyperbolic
I can understand why Tsuki would be mad but i just thought she would be mature enough to handle this better and not flip out on two men who are probably regret the decision everyday of their lives.
My whole thing is that as far as we know Danzo and Father aren't villains and shouldn't be treated like this after spending their whole lives trying to make it up to us by providing us with a good life.

>>569045
I think we did but apparently that is total in character for Tsuki so ill just shut up and go with it

>>569068
Im just saying we haven't heard everyone's side of the story and we don't know how Father and Danzo feel about the situation

>>569064
He wasn't a monster back then he was a close family friend that promise them the world
but i can understand that last bit

>>569128
Spend a week training anti-sharingan maneuvers

>>569128
Seduce itachi during training

>>569134

It might require a week.

>>569128

Learning Suck Dick no Jutsu.

WAIT how does DANZO not have a sharingan counter prepared? We let teenage emotions make us miss out on swank jutsu.

>>569132
She had no idea Orochimaru was a family friend until after she saw his men destroying the land of rice paddies or whatever.

>>569138
Then its retarded to do, wasting a week to help us against one opponent when we can spend it learning new jutsus we can use on everyone. Besides what if we don't face Sausage till the finals?

>>569141
He probably knows some anti-sharingan moves, we can learn them from him after the exams

>>569132
You STILL spelled lynch wrong!
Anyways, it's said and done, best to move onto training... when Wargle posts, that is.

>>569150
>Then its retarded to do

Not if it gives us an edge.

Plus, it's anti-Sharingan training. Who has that? Pretty much nobody.

>>569150
The obvious anti-sharingan move is to stab at where a dick would be on us while he's copying us.

Either he drops the sharingan or loses his bits

>>569156
It gives us an edge against one person we might not even get to fight while stopping us from getting stronger overall. And we can learn it after the exams if we want that skill, and if you say it will be useless then you are proving my point

>>569156
>>569163

Anti-sharingan training actually is pretty useful in-universe. Considering that theres a whole clan of them now, not like in original where there were only a handful of uchihas left.

When you exit Danzo’s chambers, you’re greeted by a rather concerned Maru.

“Your father hasn’t responded to me, Tsuki-dono. I know you haven’t forgiven him, but…. Maybe he’ll respond to you? You were always able to before…” she reports.


That is… a half truth. Father shutting himself into his office is not horribly uncommon, and the rules of the house generally say he is not be disturbed except in emergencies when this occurs.

Usually, he’s in the throws of invention- he doesn’t want to lose his train of thought, or be otherwise distracted. Father is… a passionate man, after all.

However, on the furthest edges of your memory, there are other occasions where the door was shut. Loud, angry noises, shouts and sobs. It had not happened in years, but even as a small girl, you had learned it was always best to leave Father to his devices if he wanted to be alone.

Maru knows this. She’s been here since as long as you can remember. So why now? Why would she suggest you break that rule?

“Maru, I don’t think that’s wise. Surely he heard you- and simply doesn’t wish to be disturbed?” you ask.

“I… am unsure, Tsuki-dono. He and Danzo had a private discussion- after which, your father stormed off into his study, bolting the door behind him.” Maru explains.

Wonderful.

You…

1. Attempt to talk to father, as much as you don’t want to.

2. Do something non-committal, like slipping a note under his door.

3. Don’t talk to him. You aren’t ready for that conversation, especially if Father is in a mood.
