The rest of the week passes by you idly. You continue your training, of course, refining your modification of Raiton: Sanda and keeping your taijutsu honed and ready. The Akatsuki don’t appear, and neither does Orochimaru. To be honest, you didn’t like your prospects were it to actually come to blows. Your conflict with the Toad Sage reminded you of just how far below their level you were.

Still, letting the possibility of your death stop you had been ironed out of your character by years of war. You needed to get stronger. This was something you were certain of. The question of how was something you’d need to find out yourself, but if you were to continue your career, you were probably going to clash with another S-rank ninja at some point. If you didn’t improve yourself, that clash would be the end of you. You couldn’t allow that. Not without putting up a fight.

You are thinking on this as you wait for the second exam’s proctor to return. Mitarashi Anko, apprentice of the Sannin Orochimaru. You’d never met her, but now she was apparently bringing the brats that passed here to have preliminary matches. That sickly brat, you think he was the proctor of the third exam, had told her that there were too many that had passed, and so they needed to kill some off before the real third exam could be held.

That’s why you are standing around in a crowd of jounin, waiting for them to arrive. Joining you are both the Hokage and the Kazekage, the latter having recently arrived in the village to serve as his children’s official jounin instructor. Since you smashed the last one’s head open with a gates-enhanced kick, he must have figured that there was no suitable replacement but himself. He actually sneaked a look at you now and then, glaring. How irritating.

The second exam proctor returns, slamming open the door.

“Alright, here they are. Hokage-sama, may I have a word with you in private?”

A word in private? What was she on about? Ah, well. While she’s having that word, you ought to see if your students passed or if you’ll have to be knocking on their parents doors in the middle of the night to give them the bad news.

Hmmm, let’s see. The three Suna genin unsurprisingly passed, along with five Konoha teams. Looks like all of the rookies made it through, plus Gai’s team and one other one that consisted of stupid-looking brats with glasses.

Your own team seemed relatively fine. A bit exhausted, but that was to be expected. The only real thing of note is that both of the boys are sneaking glances at the Hyuuga girl, who appears to have some sort of wound just above her left hip. There’s a tear in the cloth of her jacket, and you can see what look likes a strange bruise from afar.

>>1866040
NOIP i just want to say that i live your quest. Was also just re-reading it. Good stuff really. Now let's get this show on the road.

>>1866052
Actually, speaking of that, you can see that some pink-haired girl is staring in a similarly concerned manner at her own teammate, the Last Uchiha brat. You can’t make out if he has a similar ‘bruise’, but you are starting to think this is not a coincidence.

“Kirai, Kakashi,” says the Hokage, having returned from his talk with the proctor, “Come with me for a moment.”

He turns to look at the sickly third exam proctor.

“Explain the rules to them, please.”

As the proctor begins doing just that, you and Kakashi move off to the side, where Mitarashi Anko is waiting for you.

“You noticed, Kakashi?” the Hokage asked.

“Yes. Both of them?”

“Yeah, both of them. We can’t allow them to participate,” says Mitarashi.

“Hold on a moment,” you say, scratching your head. “I’m feeling out of the loop here. Why can’t we allow 'them' to participate?”

She turns to you, ice in her eyes. Jeez, she must be mad about something.

“The curse mark.”

“I don’t know what that is.”

The Hokage cuts in.

“A forbidden technique created by my wayward student, which grants great power at terrible cost.”

“Okay. And?”

“Our students have been given marks,” says Kakashi, “Sasuke and Hinata. That means that Orochimaru is targeting them, and it also means they aren’t in proper condition to fight. Still, I’d let them. Sasuke can’t be stopped from continuing without force. If anything happens during the fight we’ll step in anyway. After the preliminaries, we’ll seal it. I have the necessary tools."

“Very well,” says the Hokage. “And you, Kirai? Will you allow Hinata to participate?"

"Uh, who is Hinata? Is that the Hyuuga?"

"Yes, that's the Hyuuga."

"Ah. Well..."

>You don’t know about this curse mark, but there’s no way you’ll let your student withdraw without a fight.

>This was created by Orochimaru, and is apparently something to worry about if the Hokage is asking you directly. Prevent her from fighting.

>>1866056
>You don’t know about this curse mark, but there’s no way you’ll let your student withdraw without a fight.
It's just a flesh wound lads

>>1866056
>>You don’t know about this curse mark, but there’s no way you’ll let your student withdraw without a fight.

>>1866056
>You don’t know about this curse mark, but there’s no way you’ll let your student withdraw without a fight.

>>1866056
>You don’t know about this curse mark, but there’s no way you’ll let your student withdraw without a fight.


In a actual combat she wouldn't have that brake.

Also god dam Hinata with a cursed seal? Shit just got real. Also she and the boys face Orochimaru? Geez

>>1866066
I guess we trained them too well and the pedo got intetrested

>>1866058
>>1866059
>>1866064
>>1866065
Letting her fight. Writing.

Also i just realized the actual kazekage is here? Holy shit things really changed from the canon.

>>1866089
Orochimaru killed him before the exam in canon right?

>>1866095
I don't remeber i always thought that Orochimaru went desquised as the Kazekage from the begining.

>>1866095
>>1866100
yes he was killed before the exam and either orochimaru or kabuto pretended to be him

>>1866066

Hinata with a cursed seal is real unoriginal around here. It's a pretty frequent quest thing.

>>1866076
“Nah, let her have at it. Like Kakashi says, we can always step in if things become a problem.”

“If that is your decision.”

“Hold on a moment here! You can’t let them!”

“I am sorry, Anko, but removing them now will just draw more attention to it. We shall let them participate, since their instructors have allowed it.”

Mitarashi grimaces, but doesn’t say a thing. At least she knows better than to question the Hokage, unlike her traitorous sensei. You break up your impromptu little meeting and return to the group of jounin. Looks like one of the genin with stupid-looking glasses left.

“Alright,” says the sickly brat. “So we’ll start by randomizing-”

He breaks into a coughing fit. You sigh. You had no idea who this kid was, but was he even in proper condition to be a shinobi? Who lets someone with a lung disease be part of a ninja village’s military? Oh, right. Well, better not emulate Orochimaru and start questioning the Hokage. He could kill you like you could squash a bug. Or one of your genin.

“…the matches…” the sickly brat says, his coughing fit having receded. “First up…”

You look to the wall, where there is a massive monitor on display. This is where you assume they plan to announce the fights. Names flash across the screen swiftly, so fast that you wouldn’t be able to make them out if you weren’t as experienced as you were. With you being a jounin, though, it was practically in slow motion.

When the names are finalized, you can’t help but grin.

“Inuzuka Kiba…Kankuro…everyone but these two, leave the fighting area.”

One of your genin, beating up on the Kazekage’s son? Ah, it would be a fine sight. Though he might actually lose. Hmm…puppet-masters could be tricky, while the dog boy was not the most subtle of ninja. Really divergent fighting styles. It would be an interesting fight.

“Hey, asshole. Got any advice?”

>Don’t die.

>Puppet-masters are often also poison experts. Don’t get hit.

>He’s a ranged expert. If you get close, you win. Probably.

>>1866105
Fuck off then

>>1866111
>puppet masters are often poison experts

>Puppet-masters are often also poison experts. Don’t get hit.

>>1866113

Someone's salty over nothing.

>>1866105
I don't follow many Naruto quest. Only NOIP and one other quest caught my interest.

>>1866111
>Puppet-masters are often also poison experts. Don’t get hit.

>>1866111
>>Puppet-masters are often also poison experts. Don’t get hit.

>>1866117
No i'm salty over fries.
>>1866111
>Puppet-masters are often also poison experts. Don’t get hit.

>>1866111
>Puppet-masters are often also poison and ranged experts. Don’t get hit and don't hold back.

>>1866111
>Puppet-masters are often also poison experts. Don’t get hit.

>>1866114
>>1866116
>>1866121
>>1866124
>>1866125
This wins. Writing.

I'd figure not getting hit by anything is honestly just a good idea in general no matter who you're against imo.

>>1866153
not necessarily, even in real life fighting
tanking some light hits to destroy your enemy isnt necessarily bad
obviously you ideally want to never get hit, but thats rather unrealistic without a massive difference in skill or physical ability

>>1866129
QM are you posting thebpastebin after this session or was it already posted?

>>1866129
“That’s not appropriate language to use with a superior, Inuzuka. As for advice, he probably uses poisons, so don’t get hit or I’ll have to deal with your mother’s attempts to murder me.”

He nods, and you leap up on top of the viewing area, next to your two other genin.

“Aburame. Hyuuga. How was the Forest of Death?”

They look at you. They have a sort of thousand yard stare that’s strange to see in kids as young as them. Wow, it must have went fucking horribly. You imagine that’s what you probably looked like at their age.

“Kirai-sensei. It is good to see you,” says the bug brat, “The Forest was…horrible.”

“Great, that means it must have been quite the experience. Say, you guys must have met up with Orochimaru, right? We should talk later, I’d like to know more about his techniques.”

“Very well, sensei. But for now, we should observe Kiba-san’s fight. It is about to begin.”

“Yeah, yeah. Inuzuka will do fine. Probably.”

Looking down, you can see that dog boy has adopted a curious position. He’s angled in such a way that you cannot see Akamaru under his hoodie. Does he think he’ll be able to use him to surprise the enemy? Once he charges at sufficient speed, his hoodie will just fly back anyway. Or maybe you are overthinking things. Oh well. Good luck, dog boy, and don’t die.

“Begin.”

NOIP i wanted to ask will you allow for us learning elemental release? Because i kinda wanted to make a doton+katon not to form lava release but to make a iron release. So we can literaly become the iron fist ninja. Deflecting kunais and other shit with our bare hands.

>>1866246
The proctor’s words are followed by a coughing fit, which everyone ignores in favor of watching the fight. The two fighters continue to stare at each other, neither moving a muscle.

You wait. And wait. And wait. Is there something stopping them from starting, already?

“So you’re Kankuro?”

“Yeah. What’s it to you?”

“You know your brother is fucking insane, right?”

The puppet-master doesn’t say a word. You wouldn’t either, in his position. There’s no answer to that that wouldn’t either be a lie or a truth that would greatly anger the red-haired brat, who is currently observing this whole conversation quite keenly from his place beside his father.

“Not gonna answer, huh? That’s fine. This time, he won’t be here. So now I can see what you can really do.”

Did the dog boy encounter the red-haired brat in the Forest of Death at some point? If that was the case, how were your brats not dead?

“I’ll be happy to show you.”

“Heh. Shikyaku no jutsu! Let’s go, Akamaru!”

You hear a bark, and all of a sudden the dog boy pulls Akamaru out of his hoodie, and tosses him full force at the puppet-master’s face. Well, that was a terribly unsubtle way to start the fight. You hope he actually took your advice into account.

As Akamaru is flying, the dog boy is not idle. In fact, he’s busily making seals. Before he’s finished, though, the puppet-master is already hurling a load of senbon at him. Curious. He has yet to actually take out his puppet.

“Juujin Bunshin!”

In mid-air, Akamaru transforms into a copy of his partner, dropping to the ground with the additional weight and avoiding the senbon coming his way. Speaking of his partner, the dog boy is already making his way around the side of the arena, flanking the puppet-master who remains oddly stationary.

“GATSUUGA!”

The dog boy and Akamaru begin spinning wildly, aiming at the puppet-master from two different angles. At least he was smart enough to use some tactics.

You know that he’s still probably going to lose, of course. You know because the second that they smash into the ‘puppet-master’, the sound is that of wood cracking. That was a trick he’d pulled on you earlier. Given your speed, it wouldn’t matter, but you didn’t know if the dog boy would be able to evade the subsequent strike.

The puppet’s mouth opens, revealing a large and likely poisoned needle. The actual puppet-master emerges from the bandages, smirking. This might be it for the dog-boy. Too bad, he had potential but he’s going to end up dying because of his own idiocy. Getting so close without a back-up plan of some kind was foolish, especially after you’d given him that advice regarding poisons.

>>1866246
>>1866248
That being said, he did still have an option left…

“Shit! Kaimon, open!”

Gai and Kakashi both turn to look at you, aghast.

“Kirai-san! Why would you teach him that technique?!”

“What? It’s pretty useful.”

“That isn’t the point, Kirai,” says Kakashi, hand on his forehead. “It’s a dangerous forbidden technique not normally taught to genin. You don’t see Gai going and teaching it to any of the genin on his team.”

Gai smiles and laughs awkwardly.

“Oh, are you so sure about that, Kakashi?” you say.

He ignores you and turns to Gai instead.

“Seriously, Gai?”

“I told him to use it only to protect those precious to him!”

Gai’s Hyuuga brat and Ten-whatever just look confused at this whole discussion, although the former is examining the dog boy intently with his byakugan. That only leaves…

“Indeed,” says the mini-me, looking at Gai with a far too intense expression, “Gai-sensei has taught to me the secret of the gates so that I may protect those precious to me!”

Isn’t…isn’t that just parroting what he said before? Did Gai invent cloning?

You turn your focus back to the fight.

With the enhanced speed of the gate, the dog boy grabs Akamaru and leaps away. Of course, the puppet fires off a stream of poisoned kunai and senbon after them, which are only barely dodged.

“You’re a tricky bastard, aren’t you?” says the dog boy.

“Hmm. And you’re dead,” responds the puppet-master, smirking. What an annoying face. The make-up didn’t help one bit.

The puppet, now fully revealed, opens up and begins firing smoke bombs. Though, when the smoke emerges, it’s purple. That’s poisoned too, huh? You have a feeling you would have hated puppet-masters if you’d ever had the displeasure of fighting one in a war. You’re feeling sympathetic for Iwa all of a sudden.

The dog boy has already leapt to avoid the smoke bombs, of course, bringing his transformed dog with him.

“Akamaru! Just like we practiced!”

He grabs the transformed dog by the collar, and then spins in mid-air, tossing it towards the puppet. The puppet-master simply grins, leaping away from his puppet with chakra strings still attached. His grin is wiped off his face by what happens next.

Once Akamaru is on the ground in front of the puppet, he refuses to strike it. Instead, something much more shocking for everyone not on your team occurs. Although he can’t say it out loud, the sudden outburst of energy indicates to everyone who notices it that he just copied his master in opening the first gate.

“Did…did you teach a dog to open the gates?” asks Kakashi.

He’s not the only one looking at you strangely. Even the Hokage and Kazekage are staring.

“Look, Tsume told me it was theoretically possible, so I tried it out.”

“That…whatever.”

>>1866246
>>1866248
>>1866250
With the first gate open, Akamaru leaps up towards the puppet-master, who desperately attempts to recall his puppet in time.

“GATSUUGA!”

Once again, Akamaru and the dog boy are spinning on a collision course with the puppet-master from two angles. Except this time, it’s the actual puppet-master and not the puppet. For a second there, you think they might take the win, but then you notice that the puppet-master is making seals. Can he still do that when he’s controlling the puppet with chakra strings? Damn.

“Kawarimi no jutsu!”

And once again, it is the puppet that the dog boy and his partner are striking with the Gatsuuga rather than the actual puppet-master. Tricky little bastard.

Two massive scythes emerge from the puppet’s chest. Akamaru reacts first, throwing his master out of their path. Unfortunately, this leaves him open to attack, and the scythe just barely grazes his side. But considering it is likely poisoned, that may very well have been the end of Akamaru. Shit.

“AKAMARU!” shouts the dog boy, on his way towards the grounds.

Akamaru de-transforms, and the dog lands on top of his master, shivering. The first gate has been deactivated by both of them. Guess they can’t maintain it for very long yet.

“You bastard! You’ll pay for this!”

The puppet-master actually laughs. Wow, what an asshole.

“Is that so?”

The puppet is already being directed downward, to deliver a finishing blow to the dog boy with its unfurled scythes. The dog boy sees them, and is probably going to die in the next second or so. You consider stepping in, but the dog boy is already on his feet.

“I’ve never used one of these before, but here goes!”

Is that a pill he’s tossing in his mouth? Aren't those supposed to be for Akamaru?

“KAIMON, OPEN!”

With the power from the first gate flowing through him once again, the dog boy quickly moves Akamaru out of harm’s way. The puppet smashes into him, but he’s ready for it. He sidesteps the scythe, and then grabs it by the arms. He then tosses it at Kankuro, who isn’t nearly fast enough to move out of the way.

Hey, look! One of your students is finally going to make their first kill! You wish you had one of those camera things to remember this moment and…is that sand? Why is it golden? The puppet-master is dragged out of the way of the puppet’s scythes at the last moment.

“Proctor,” says the Kazekage, “This match is over.”

The sickly brat blinks, and then nods.

“Kankuro…forfeits. Inuzuka Kiba wins.”

Huh. The medic-nins begin dragging away Akamaru, while his master simply stands, panting.

>Congratulate him on his victory. Tell him that he should be glad for his training by you, and should be more grateful about it in the future.

>Tell him “Good job not dying.”

>>1866252
>>Tell him “Good job not dying.”

>>1866209
Pastebin will be posted after the preliminaries, because it will have spoilers regarding certain things I'd rather reveal during the fights themselves.

>>1866247
Yes, but anything beyond the basic 5 requires a bloodline, which you lack.

>>1866252
>Tell him “Good job not dying.”

>>1866252
>Tell him “Good job not dying.”

>>1866252
>Tell him “Good job not dying.”

Also, make a note about teaching them how to counter specific types of ninjas. The advice about poison was pretty on the spot, but you as the fucking awesome ninja you are, could've done better. No half-assing shit for you once you accept a mission

>>1866252
>Tell him “Good job not dying.”
It's a good quality, not being dead

>>1866252
>Tell him “Good job not dying.”

>>1866252

>Tell him “Good job not dying.”

Our kids need to kick the kazekages kids asses
And then we need to kill him
That way we establish deep hatred for us in the sand
And then we become hokage for reasons

Good job not dying it is. Writing.

Might need to teach a bit of subtlety to Kiba, not that there's anything wrong with full smashfucking.

>>1866287
Oh yeah
Tell him that rushing an enemy he doesn't know anythimg about is a really bad idea
And in the pre tourney beat that lesson into him

>>1866287
I agree we might have to teach him a little bit of self control can't make him keep relying on the gates. Even if he knows it he needs to make sure it will be a sure kill or he and Akamaru might end up killing themselfs. Still dog-boy did well.

>>1866286
He glares at you.

“Thanks, asshole. But I’m too worried about Akamaru right now to celebrate.”

“That’s fine, you made a lot of mistakes in that fight. We’ll be correcting them later. Now hop on up, it’ll be someone elses' turn next.”

“Congratulations on your victory, Kiba-san.”

“Y-yes. Congratulations, Kiba-kun.”

“Thanks guys.”

“Does he really call you ‘asshole’?” asks Kakashi.

“Not if he doesn’t want a beating later.”

“That’s a bit of an overreaction, don’t you think?”

“Ha!”

He stares at you.

“Wait, you’re serious?”

“Ahem,” calls out the sickly brat, “The next match will be selected for now.”

Everyone looks intently at the monitor. The next set of names are-

“Tsurugi Misumi, Hyuuga Neji. Come to the arena now.”

Neji?

“Say, Hyuuga. Is your name Neji?”

“N-no, that’s my cousin.”

Oh, so the brat on Gai’s team, then. Well, you think it’s fair to say he should beat the four-eyed brat he’s up against. This Tsurugi guy must be real ugly too, judging from the mask on his face.

“I urge you to forfeit,” says the Hyuuga brat, as he settles into his Gentle Fist stance.

“I won’t,” says the four-eyed brat, pushing up his stupid looking glasses.

“Alright,” says the proctor, before launching into another coughing fit. Once he recovers, he continues. “Begin.”

It’s over in seconds, as the Hyuuga swiftly crosses the gap between him and the four-eyed brat and starts pummeling him with strikes. As he is hit, his body becomes soft and stretchy. Huh, was that some sort of bloodline? Well, it didn’t matter, because now he was unconscious.

“Tsurugi Misumi is unable to continue. Hyuuga Neji wins!”

What an anticlimactic battle. How did he even pass through the Forest of Death? Jeez, have they cleaned out too many of the giant monsters for the exams?

You notice that the Hyuuga girl is staring at her cousin, with a curious look on her face. Must be admiring his prowess. She needs to step up her game.

Everyone’s eyes return to the monitor, as names once again flash across it. It settles on two names…shit.

“Aburame Shino, Gaara,” calls out the proctor.

>Tell the bug brat to forfeit if he wants his life.

>Nah, just let him fight. He’ll be severely injured but you’ll intervene if it looks like the red-haired brat will kill him.

>Nah, just let him fight. He’ll be severely injured but you’ll intervene if it looks like the red-haired brat will kill him.

>>1866315
>Tell the bug brat to forfeit if he wants his life.

>>1866315
>>Nah, just let him fight. He’ll be severely injured but you’ll intervene if it looks like the red-haired brat will kill him.

Why the fuck would we let anyone forfeit?

>>1866315
>Nah, just let him fight. He’ll be severely injured but you’ll intervene if it looks like the red-haired brat will kill him
>Instead of Gai's protege, its Kirai's
I like it

>>1866315
>Nah, just let him fight. He’ll be severely injured but you’ll intervene if it looks like the red-haired brat will kill him.
Warn him about yhe sand armor

>>1866315
>Nah, just let him fight. He’ll be severely injured but you’ll intervene if it looks like the red-haired brat will kill him.

>>1866326
I think NOIP will give us a chance to give some advices to Shino. Just like we gave some to Kiba.

>>1866315
>>Nah, just let him fight. He’ll be severely injured but you’ll intervene if it looks like the red-haired brat will kill him

And tell him everything you know about him like the sand armor, how he can control it as if they were an extension of his body, and that getting close to him without being a pro like you can end with broken bones or death

>>1866315
>>Tell the bug brat to forfeit if he wants his life.
Shino is not specced for this.

>Nah, just let him fight. He’ll be severely injured but you’ll intervene if it looks like the red-haired brat will kill him.

It's not in the best interest of his health, of course, but there really isn't a safer environment to face an overwhelming adversary.

Did the Sound Nin not make it this far? That's interesting, although it's not like any of them would have been a hard fight.

>You notice that the Hyuuga girl is staring at her cousin, with a curious look on her face.

Wait a fucking second...are you telling me that Hinata managed to follow Neji's speed? Holy shit, what the fuck have we done to her?

Oh, and I'd like to point out I didn't plan who would fight who, if that's what you guys are thinking. I actually randomized it.

>>1866315
>Tell the bug brat to forfeit if he wants his life.

>>1866315
>Nah, just let him fight. He’ll be severely injured but you’ll intervene if it looks like the red-haired brat will kill him.

But tell him about the sand armor and if the jinchuuriki starts to rage to duuender and run.

>>1866340
>I actually randomized it.

But what will happen now that the only opponent to Lee is out of his way?

Man, the kazekage is probably super jealous of our suoer weapon training skills

>>1866351
>shino and lee final round of the tourny

>>1866374

He jelly because we are so good we can even teach a dog to use the gates.

>>1866379
Personaly i hope we manage to see Shino and Shikamaru figthing each other.

>>1866383
That's be a terrible fight. Shino is less reliant on his own body moving than anyone in the exam except possibly Gaara.

>>1866438
Someone is going to get blown the fuck out. Question is - who?

>>1866442
I'll be honest in some weird way I could imagine Shino winning this, or at least getting gaara low enough on chakra that he starts to sand-hulk out and his dad puts a stop to the whole thing

Also whoever goes up against Lee is basically done, only Neji or Gaara could straight up beat him and the only other exception might MIGHT be the sound genjutsu dude

>>1866445
>Lee vs. Hinata

>>1866445
The funny thing is that Shino was doing research about the bijuu so from our team the one that has a chance to survive is him. The only thing i can imagine is if Shino manages to break the arnor with multiple explosive bombs but it might require all of his hive or even all of his chakra.

>>1866442
Shino's exploding kikaichu could be very effective. Gaara is loaded with so much chakra Shino might not even have to shove his own chakra into them to make them explode. And the kikaichu could drain the chakra right out of Gaara's sand. It's not like Gaara would run out, but his "ultimate defense" is suddenly permeable.

>>1866453
ooooooor he just has a couple of burrowers get into the armor..... especially since they'd be eating his chakra as they burrow.

>>1866445
Shino can win
Taijutsu and knowing about garaas armor puts him at an advantage
All he has to do is get a lot of explosive bugs on him
It won't be easy and he could get dumpstered in a second but he could do it

>>1866340
“What are you waiting around for? It’s your match, head on in!”

“Kirai-sensei…”

“You aren’t thinking of giving up, are you?”

Suddenly, a bug crawls out from under his coat. The bug, which is some sort of strange blue beetle instead of a kikiachu, flies to the tip of your nose. Then it pokes you in the face.

“What the fuck is this, Aburame?”

“I…sorry, sensei, but that’s…”

Smoke emerges, and suddenly angry orange eyes are staring into yours. Huh? Was this the Nanabi jinchuuriki? Did her team even pass? Wait, she’s not as tall as you…are those fucking wings on her back? And…she was inside of the bug brat’s clothes…

“Aburame. Explain.”

“No need, I will!” says Fuu, eyes still staring into yours intently. “If you send Shino in there, he’s going to get slaughtered! You’re crazy!”

You poke her in the forehead just hard enough to get her away from you. She was far too close for comfort. Did anyone ever teach her the concept of personal space?

“It’ll be a learning experience. What were you doing under Aburame’s clothes?”

The bug brat blushes at that, but the mint-haired brat just glares at you.

“That’s not important!”

“It is to me.”

“Urgh! I was hiding from my teammates, so I hid inside of his clothes, okay? Anyway, let him forfeit you old bastard!”

“No.”

She turns to the bug brat, tugging on his coat. His blush deepens. Jeez, she must not realize how much he wants to devour her chakra. Should be more careful around him.

“Please! Forfeit!”

“Kirai-sensei…Fuu-san…”

The proctor clears his throat.

“If you don’t get down here soon I will consider it an automatic forfeit.”

“Shino, don’t do it!”

The bug brat gazes intently at the mint-haired brat for several seconds

“I…for-”

You sigh. Then you grab the bug brat by the shoulder and toss him into the arena as gently as possible. Okay, maybe a little harder than that.

“Asshole!” shouts the mint-haired brat. You ignore her.

“Aburame. Put up a good fight.”

“I…I will, Kirai-sensei.”

“Are you done?” asks the red-haired brat, in a monotone. What a weird fucking kid. Last time you saw him he’s all bloodthirsty, yet now he’s all stoic. Maybe he’s on his best behavior so his father doesn’t spank his ass as red as his hair with golden sand.

“Begin.”

>>1866450
Oh yeah this Hinata could probably stand a good chance, although her gentle fist shit loses a lof of its effect on Lee who doesnt use chakra outside of Gates which i imagine have a similar effect to Naruto's Kyuubi chakra just bullshitting through

>>1866459
The sand starts rushing at the bug brat immediately. To his credit, he’s fast enough to dodge the initial assaults, but that only prompts an increase in its speed. Off to a bad start already. That’s okay, sometimes you learn through pain.

The bug brat doesn’t just let himself get hit, however. He spills forth a swarm of kikaichu, which then lifts him into the air. The sand follows, however. He’s having a very difficult time avoiding it.

“Gaara-san is indeed a strong opponent…” he whispers, more to himself than anyone else. You wouldn’t have even heard it without a jounin’s senses.

Suddenly, the speed of his swarm increases dramatically. Very dramatically. In fact, he’s moving faster than you’ve ever seen from him before. More to the point, he’s moving at jounin level speeds. You actually have to rub your eyes a bit to confirm that they’re giving you the right information.

The reason behind it is revealed when you feel it. A hateful aura surrounding him, flowing from inside of his insects. Raw and powerful. What the fuck? Was that the Nanabi’s chakra? How in the hell did he get a hold of that?

“He’s using its chakra already. He doesn’t have enough to use it long…see what you’ve made him do, you old bastard!”

“I don’t understand. He has ‘its’ chakra?”

“I, um, nevermind, it’s not important.”

“Did you feed him ‘its’ chakra?”

“That’s none of your business.”

“I think it is, actually. How much did you feed him?”

“…it’ll only last a few minutes.”

That so? Well, he’d need to finish this fight in a few minutes, then.

As his swarm swiftly approaches the red-haired brat, the sand follows it. It can’t even hope to keep up with the bug brat’s bijuu-enhanced speed, however, and the swarm smashes into a shield of sand. The initial kikaichu begin to bloat, exploding the shield in a mere instant. The red-haired brat actually looks surprised. With the shield penetrated, the bug brat’s swarm starts tearing into the red-haired brat.

The plates of his sand armor begin to crack, and in that moment, yet more kikaichu start to bloat up, ready to explode. Huh, the bug brat’s actually putting up a good fight. Admittedly, he needed outside help to do it, but whatever. Being a pseudo-jinchuuriki was too useful of an ability to pass up, even if it only lasted a few minutes. You’d heard of the Gold and Silver brothers, who used it to great effect.

Of course, putting up a good fight and winning were two different things entirely.

>>1866459
>>1866462
The red-haired brat’s sand increases in speed with his anger, and boy was his anger great. You could even feel a slight bit of bijuu chakra flowing through him. If the bug brat needed that chakra to compete with the red-haired brat not using his own bijuu chakra, then the bug brat was about to get slaughtered, as the mint-haired brat had put it. Ah well. It would teach him valuable lessons. The severe injuries, that is.

The sand spirals around wildly, swiping away the swarm of kikaichu and slamming the bug brat in the chest. The Nanabi’s chakra submerges itself once more. The bug brat’s control of it must be very weak for it to recede in such a manner. Anyway, the red-haired brat then starts taking his time to crush every individual kikaichu in the swarm. How vindictive.

When he’s finished murdering the swarm, he moves to murder the boy. Sand grips at all of the bug brat’s limbs, and you can hear his cries of pain at the crushing sensation. Oh, he’s going to use that sand prison technique, isn’t he? Maybe you should step in now.

“Sabaku-”

You move, but the Kazekage beats you to it.

“Gaara,” he calls out, “That is enough.”

The red-haired brat turns to look at his father, staring at him for several seconds. The Kazekage does not budge, and so the sand returns to the gourd.

You take a look at the bloody mess that is the bug brat. You are fairly certain he’s broken a whole lot of bones, but it doesn’t look too bad. He’d probably be dead if the red-haired brat had continued, though.

Well, that was a quick fight.

“Shino!”

The mint-haired brat leaps down to the arena, hugging the bug brat tightly to her chest. What the fuck happened in the Forest of Death? You’re really feeling like you’re out of the loop on something. Maybe you should have asked more questions about it, because none of this crap made any sense to you at all.

“Fuu-san…”

“Shh, don’t talk, I have to yell at your sensei. What do you have to say for yourself, you old bastard?”

“He’ll be fine. Just leave him alone so the medic-nin can take care of him.”

“Fine? FINE?! Look at him!”

“His wounds aren’t fatal.”

“You…you…you ass…”

“It’s alright, Fuu-san,” the bug brat said, before coughing up some blood. “Kirai-sensei is just…”

“Just what, Shino? Just what? He doesn’t seem to care about you at all!”

A medic-nin taps the mint-haired brat on the shoulder.

“Er, excuse me, but I need to bring him to the care center.”

“Oh, yeah! Make him better, please!”

“Uh, right. That’s kind of my job. But I need you to, like, let go of him.”

“Right.”

>>1866459
>>1866462
>>1866464
The mint-haired brat releases the bug brat, who is then carried out by the medic-nin on a stretcher. She starts glaring at you, and she’s not the only one. You’re getting dirty looks from most of the people here. What was their problem? He’s not dead, sheesh. You’re already imagining all the nagging Shibi will be doing later.

Everyone’s eyes return to the monitor when the names start flashing once more. Then they land on…

“Uchiha Sasuke, Fuu. Well, one of you is still here, but as for the other, come to the arena. It’s your turn.”

>Updates end for now.

Sorry, I have to leave early. As an apology, I’ll start writing the ‘What Happened in the Forest of Death’ pastebin. We’ll finish up the preliminaries tomorrow, and then it’s on to training for the final exam.

>>1866466
Damn why people so salty about us asking him to fight

Nobody gave guy this sorta shit

Also im not really sad we didnt teach Shino the gates, that mixed with jinchuuriki shit woulda been Johnny Ca$h

>>1866471
he only could do the Fuusion cause of his bug mastery

Shino did well,we should praise him for a good job

>>1866470
Gai obviously cared when Lee was injured, though.

>>1866470

Yeah, it is good experience for the bug brat in case he needs to murder the sand brat in the future now that he knows what to expect from him. It's like they don't want the konoha ninja to be the best of the best

>>1866466
Kirai just made Shino more close to his waifu? And holy shit what the fuck happend in the forest?!

Hey alright, Shino didn't die.

No seriously I'm starting to feel bad about how much Shino puts his trust in us and we just fucked him over.

>>1866488
Yeah he's not going to like us much now

>>1866488
Kirai is a pretty terrible person.

>>1866471
>>1866475
He still would have become a pseudo-jinchuuriki, but he wouldn't have been able to fly with his bugs.

>>1866486
Things. You'll find out. Also, it's totally platonic on her end.

>>1866470
Shino and Lee aren't even remotely on the same level.

Also:
>“Did you feed him ‘its’ chakra?”
>“That’s none of your business.”

I have seen enough hentai to see were this went.

>>1866464
>“Kirai-sensei is just…”
I'm curious what he was going to say here

>>1866493
So are you going to tell me every other candidate that would have fought gaara would have bailed out?

>>1866490
Nah we made him more close to his waifu. The girl even went to show how much she cared now the bug-boy need to step up his game. Not that Kirai did that with such intentions but still.

>>1866497
He probably did research into us

>>1866497
...full of Incel frustration

>>1866497
"..doing all he can to encourage my growth as shinobi, even if he has to take extreme measures."

>>1866502
If they knew what he was fully capable of? They are fucking genin.

>>1866502
I'd say the only exceptions would be Neji, Naruto, Sasuke and Lee. All are pretty solidly way above Shino in terms of power.

>>1866507
...a raging asshole
...unconcerned with others

>>1866508
That's really sad

>>1866509
Nalt would have gotten rekt,ssuce would have gotten destroyed,neji might get 1 or 2 hits in before he gets coffined

>>1866508
This is true. IC I think Kirai would be impressed enough to give Shino a day off with his performance. He was outclassed and still performed for his village without a second though and stared death in the face with quailing.

Of course Kirai would be mostly patting himself on the back for training the kid so well, but still.

>>1866509
Naruto meh he had such a surge in power between round 2 and 3 due to Jiraiya that at this point he would straight up die. Pretty much the same goes for Sasuke with Kakashi teaching him and angst reaching maximum levels

>>1866508
Damn Shino. Main reason I feel bad is cause both Shino and Kiba become way worse when they lose their bugs or dog. Hinata is probably the only one I'm not concerned with, except for the clan head already wanting to kill Kirai.

>>1866522
Yeah if Akamaru dies it'll be like starting from scratch for Kiba with a new dog, sure he'd be stronger but the dog would have to go through all that training and getting co-ordinated again which could take years to reach that point

>>1866522
Good thing for Shino is that his bugs are basically life bound to him. So he won't be without them.

>>1866521
Right, so if they were boned. Shino was boned as well, almost to the point where putting him through it makes no sense.

However it does stick with his character that he would, it just doesn't make it any less of a dumb move.

>>1866533
>putting him through it makes no sense.

What about the experience in fighting a jiinchuuriki? This is one of the safest places were he would be able to have that tipe of experience. Hopefully after being beated in such way he will be motivated to become stronger.

It also got him to have his waifu closer to him while he recovers in the hospital bed.

>>1866533
Shino did better than anybody expected
It was a dumb fight that he had a low chance of winning but its in character for kirai

>>1866542
Gaara didn't use much of his power at all. This moves the needle almost nowhere in terms of experience for Shino against a real tailed-beast.

If he gets to bone his waifu though, maybe it wasn't pointless.

>>1866543
It's so much like Kirai that I think even the Hokage is probably wondering if forcing Kirai to take a team was wise or at least giving him clan heirs.

>>1866546
I wish we could get a look at the Hokage's thoughts about the crazy shit we're doing to these kids.
It starts optimistic about Kirai becoming more human but at this point he's gotta be thinking he's made a horrible mistake

Giving shino a day off may be a way to show we slightly care even if we don't and are just giving him the day off to recover a bit

>>1866546
Oh no the Hokage is definetly regretting making Kirai a teacher. Hopefully this will show everyone that Kirai isn't a good teacher.

>>1866556
He also gets the chance to use that day off to walk with his waifu.

>>1866557
We're an amazing teacher
We just lack morals

We should also prepare for the inevitable bombing of our apartment by the Aburame clan for what we just made Shino do.

>>1866576
lots of bug spray.

>>1866576
Eh wouldn't be surprised. Beside if the head saw his son facing a jiinchuuriki in such way thanks to our trainning who says we can't make him stronger?

Think of it this way.

If he forfeited, he'd have been wasting time.

Since he got the fucking stuffing knocked out of him we can for certain where he's lacking and can remedy his shortcomings more precisely. Boo hoo he got owies big whoop he's not dead.

>his shortcoming was that he didn't have a fucking demon inside of him, that can't be "remedied"

Well gee that sounds like a fucking quitter attitude

>>1866596
Since Shino started to look into the bijuu you think would be a good call to teach him about sealling jutsus?

>>1866601
>Bug seals

>>1866606
>Manipulates his bugs to write seals
Also, anyone else proud af of Shinzo for his loyalty and conduct in the name of great konoha?

>>1866611
I legit want Kirai to give the brat a day or even a week off. (and spend the rest of the time beating the errors out of dog kid and Hyuuga brat)

>>1866611
Shino is too good for us desu

>>1866619
>week off
Hell nah, a day off at most once his body starts working right again.

>>1866628
The week off includes his recovery time, and is an excuse for us to focus on training the winners like hell and letting him do his own thing?

>>1866624
That i can agree.

>>1866522
>except for the clan head already wanting to kill Kirai

If Hinata uses the gates in her match, why do i get the feeling we're getting a Gentle Fist up our ass? Or are the gates beneficial to the Great Keikaku? i can see Hiashi getting pissed she knows a potentially crippling/fatal technique like the Gates

>>1866637
>Hinata Pwns Sasuke like Gai punts madara into a tree.
>isn't even tired afterwards.

Kick her ass, sasuke!

>>1866691
>Cheering for the edgemaster

>>1866699
im cheering against the cunt

>>1866706
Stop it neji, you'll only end up getting raped by the superior hyuuga if you keep going like this

I almost wish Kirai got Shikamaru and the lot desu
>Ywn see shikamaru's body be as buff as his brain

>>1866751
Forcing shiki to take up our exercise schedule would be hard

>>1866751
fuck, that is a scary thought

>>1866714
im all for narutoXhinata but shes shit, got her ass beat by hanabi.
good thing about teaching our team the gates is that neji will demand to know them from guy when he sees our team using them.

>>1866788

Wasn't that conveniently retconned into hinata throwing the match? Anyways, while that was an shameless retcon in actual nardo, it makes sense here as Kirai drilled awesomeness on Hinata and she should've legit beat her this time.

>>1866788
Hanabi has been established as a prodigy

>>1866751
He's too smart to catch and too lazy to exercise. Truly a worthy challenge.

>>1866867
Just leave him in places where he has to fight to not die, like the forest of death.

NOIP, how fuckin' serious are Shino's injuries?

>>1866964
I swear to god, if this as extensive as to what happened to Lee...

Like, I know Kirai's a cold operator, but I think even he would be concerned here.

>>1866964
A lot of broken bones and a fair amount of blood loss. Any serious damage was avoided by the Kazekage's intervention.

>>1866973
Is it as bad as Lee's was in the Anime/Manga?

>>1866968
>"Shino, you dead?"
>"No sensei, I am-"
>"Alright then."
>Shunshin's away.

>>1866973
>by the Kazekage's intervention

I'm still wondering why he did that? Was it to avoid killing a member if a clan and so avoid konoha to have the right to ask for his son or another shinobi's head? Just why?

if orochmaru offered us the curse thing, would we take it?

>>1866978
No. Lee had his leg crushed inside of Gaara's sand prison after opening five gates. Shino's fucked up but he'll recover just fine, Lee had to go through a risky surgery that could potentially kill him.

>>1867007
Nope. You don't trust him.

File: fqtfk.jpg (19 KB, 409x393)

19 KB JPG

>>1867007
Trusting Orochimaru...

>>1867007
Yes, but only as bait so we could Smash his face in.

>>1867007
He wouldn't offer it in the first place.

>>1866556

Fuck that. Train him even harder...

Kirai: "Immediately after being mortally injured is the best time to train. The mind-splitting agony keeps your mind focused and helps further disincentive the mistakes that lead to you sustaining your injuries. Now 50 laps around the village before nightfall. Go."

>>1866637

Hinata and Shino don't have the gates, only Kiba does. We prioritized building their clan techniques instead of getting the gates, remember?

Due to that decision, we got better clan techniques for our students instead of Kiba being able to unlock the second gate, and Hinata and Shino being able to unlock the first gate...

I wanna' know what everyone here is thinking.
http://www.strawpoll.me/13933269

>>1867220
Depends what the 'redeeming feature' is.

Honestly, Anons have kinda ruined Kirai.

They took him from grumpy old man to autistic wizard who has no friends and literally no one has ever liked in 50+ years.

Like yeah, the latter was funny for a while but it's getting kinda old and i just know the people pushing him to be like this are going to REEEEE like crazy if he ever develops as a character or even takes a step toward becoming somewhat human.

>>1867412
Well judging by the votes like 70% of the people here want him to actually have a redeeming quality.

So fuck it, what's his redeeming quality ya'll? I find the social awkwardness funny and his "Go all in" attitude fitting, but I figure we can at least have him actually care about the fucking kids. And, like, maybe some of the other Jounin.

Not Kakashi fuck him.

>>1867427
agreed, fuck Kakashi
we need to plan a revenge prank on him

>>1867412
Don't blame anons for the autism, NOIP is the one who made him misinterpret basic social cues.

and if anything, now is the perfect time for him to start going through some character development, Since now everyone knows how he treats his students, more or less, and how much he doesn't really care about their well-being.

I reckon there will be plenty of people getting on to Kirai's shit after this.

>>1867427
Gai as a rival in Taijutsu
Maybe even Ibiki, the head if interrogation/torture division. And of course make him start to care about the kids.

>>1867412
Hes an old man, he can grow a bit and learn new things but the time for fast and massive character growth is over.
>has no friends and literally no one has ever liked in 50+ years.
This was already part of the character. do you just not like kirai?

IF we have to have a redeeming quality, it could be to be begrudgingly nice to naruto.
the way it was written we really admired and liked his dad for what a badass killing machine he was during the wars.

>>1867427
>>1867433
Agree fuck Kakashi. We should make a two bushin and have then henge as him and Asuma and take pictures of the two doing something idiotic.

>>1867439
And the fact we like the Senju so when Tsunade becomes the Hokage i think Kirai will apreciate her in charge and will
be more willing to hear her opinion on how to handle with other people.

Also since we worked under the sanin and we didn't know Jiraya or Orochimaru. This means that we may have being working under her.

>>1867448

That's assuming that snakefag successfully kills the third. Our actions have created quite a few alternations to the original story, and I'm sure that there are still quite a few things we could still interfere with...

>>1867412
While I think certain autism is rather out of place, I think that other quirks are well justified by a laser focus on personal physical improvement.

To start with an example of something I don't like, I don't like that he doesn't pick up on people liking each other. Rather, I think it would be more fitting for him, rather than not understanding, to feel disdain for attractions he feels are unjustified. Since he values strength, skill, and dedication, for example, he would see more emotional traits as a waste of potential rather than not getting them. We're talking about a guy who hardly ever sleeps, trains constantly in preparation for any threat, and doesn't care how painful the method is as long as the result is good and the damage isn't debilitating. He projects his mental resilience on others and expects them to measure up because otherwise they aren't trying hard enough.

He lives in a shitty apartment because he's spartan, he doesn't have friends because he's abrasive, controversial in how he problem solves and trains with others, and only goes to social gatherings seemingly if there's something important that could be found out.

To summarize, I view him as a sort of violent monk seeking enlightenment of /fit/, and teaches people what worked best for him since he thinks it's something everybody should do, and if they think otherwise it's because they're young and stupid and only resist because they haven't gone through it.

>>1867505

> To start with an example of something I don't like, I don't like that he doesn't pick up on people liking each other.

As enjoyable as I find Kirai blasting spaghetti all over, I actually agree with this...

>>1867505

> I view him as a sort of violent monk seeking enlightenment of /fit/

On this subject, is there any canonical way for Kirai to improve himself at this point? I'm not talking about stuff like augmenting his taijutsu with ninjutsu, I mean is there a way to bolster his capacities beyond human limits without delving into fanfiction levels of bullshit?

Kirai talked about using chakra feedback loops to continuously improve oneself when he was training that brats. Is there something we can do with that? Push the envelop even further forward so to speak?

>>1867505
>>1867510
I think it was more a attemp to make something that seems normal to someone turn into a funny situation because Kirai didn't get it or was thinking in something else entirely.

But i get what you mean

>>1867521
Use Tsunade skill into using chrakra control to enchance our punches.

>>1867521
>without augmenting his Taijutsu with Ninjutsu
There is canonically a way to survive the 8 Gates of pain using a medical-nin technique. But OP would probably squash that before it even got off the ground. It basically does the feedback loop thing that Kirai already mentioned but on a much faster and stronger level, the guy who used it can open the gates with no downside.

>>1867651

Sounds like a good avenue for a crazy taijutsu expert who is obsessed with self-improvement to pursue. What's the catch?

Is it difficult to execute? Is the knowledge needed to learn it not accessible?

...

> But OP would probably squash that before it even got off the ground.

Maybe. Thus far OP has seemed pretty good about giving us a good deal of freedom while maintaining limits on the setting. I get the impression that he probably would have it be attainable, but just make it an extremely difficult goal to reach...

My internet is down so I'm using my phone to post. I won't be able to update today because of that, but in the meantime I'll finish up the 'What Happened in the Forest of Death' pastebin and respond to some things.

So, more talk about Kirai and his character. Moving forward, I always expected that anons would slowly nudge him in the direction of starting to actually care for his team. However, this has not really been the case so far. For example, you chose to have Shino fight Gaara instead of forfeiting. If you wanted to indicate that you were starting to give a shit about his well being, that wouldn't have been the option chosen. I've given opportunities to be 'nicer', but a lot of the playerbase enjoys Kirai's assholery and therefore chooses options that fail to develop him in a less sociopathic direction.

As for his life philosophy, I wouldn't really mention words like 'enlightenment'. That's a bit too high minded. Kirai enjoys ninja work and training, and that's basically the reason he lives his life. He views other ninja as being misguided because they value things besides simply being a ninja, and feels that this prevents them from reaching their full potential. Ultimately, Kirai's goal is to become the best ninja he can possibly be.

Oh, and about his autism regarding relationships, it's mostly just for laughs but if people find it too jarring I'll tone it down. It's mostly just a result of Kirai not being used to situations not directly involving ninja work, so he conflates lust with bloodlust (thinking that Hinata wants to kill Naruto, thinking that Shino wants to devour Fuu's chakra with his hive, etc.)

>>1867651
I actually had to look this up because I've never watched that movie. Yeah, you won't be able to do that without becoming a master medic-nin, so that's probably out unless you want to spend years perfecting medical jutsu so that you can learn a technique that you don't even know exists.

>>1867524
You could, if you convinced her to trach you and spent years learning under her. Which is unlikely.

>>1867659
And just as I post that, my internet comes back on

Nevermind, in that case I'll be running later today

>>1867659
>You could, if you convinced her to trach you and spent years learning under her. Which is unlikely.

Nah i would rather acquire our summon and learn fuinjutsu. But for our brats i would like to acquire more earth and ligthning jutsus to give Kiba and Hinata something for the next exam. That is if they still want us to train then.

>>1867660
Uhull!! Any idea in at which time you will be running.

>>1867660

> Later today

Man, I'm always asleep when you post. Perhaps I'll wake up early enough the catch the other anons basking in the afterglow...

>>1867662

> Nah i would rather acquire our summon and learn fuinjutsu

But anon, what about become huge?

>>1867667
Yeah we could even start using weapons to improve our taijutsu to. Or just tune up our skills in it. Ehich thanks to Gai's tip to fight the sharigan i think we manage to make some advance in it.

I just want to learn this things so we can seal stuff in scroll and summon a animal to help us during a fight. Also if we went with a rooster as a summon we will officialy have chocobos in the naruto world.

>>1867659

So this >>1867412 anon was basically right. Thanks, retards.
>muh edgy asshole lulz

>>1867659
We can do better NOIP, we can make Kirai an asshole with a heart of golllll......uh, a heart of something.

Being bitter is your prerogative, so is hanging around this thread in spite of that, but this kind of character is a rarity on /qst/ so it's not at all stupid for so many anons to cling to it...

There are plenty of quests about protagonists who grow as functional, empathetic human beings and form bonds of love and friendship with the characters around them. An example taken off the top of my head would be Abhuman Quest...

So there is no reason to get pissy...

>>1867687
Pyrite?

>>1867697
Sure.

>>1867696

Yeah, something like that. Besides, the problem with the "nicer" options is that it kinda feels a bit out of character to suddenly start caring for others. Considering that Kirai is so pragmatical that he values experience over not getting hurt, the more in-character option was to send Shino to get fucked, after all he was going to jump to save him if shit got too real and that way bug brat would acquire in person experience about how the sand monster fights in case he has to someday murder him.

I would wait until Kirai actually begins to see the brats and the others as more than just weapons and training dummies before considering choices that makes him look like as if he actually cares.

>>1867700
This. I kind of like Kirai being an asshole yet I also believe that it will take time to slowly become a better person.

>>1867687
A heart of silver is probably as close as that's going to get. To be honest the most progress for this is probably gonna have to be someone Kirai either respescts or actually likes dying.

Even then I feel like the most we'd get out of that at this stage is maybe Kirai feeling the overwhelming urge to slaughter whoever did it.

>>1867700
So we start slow and small. When we go to check up on Shino at the hospital(Because we're worried his father will be pissed not because we're all that worried about his health), we can just tell him we knew he wouldn't get himself killed. Leave it at that, then keep the development ball rolling.

Up hill.

In a snow storm.

Down by the river.

>>1867659
You know, as much as I did enjoy the assholery of Kirai's character...yeah.

I don't speak for everyone here, but I think it's time to stop with the edge on Kirai's character. Cause we're approaching a point of no-sympathy where a character like him will become unlikeable, and that's something I don't think anyone wants to run with for a quest like this.

>>1867696
Personally, I think anons are justified in being angry. I'll agree that Kirai's character is fucking great. Playing a bitter old man with little to no empathy is fun, and that's great. But as they've said, the appeal of playing him the same way every time(an unrepentant asshole with no care for anyone whatsoever) can get boring quick.

It might be because Kirai has become humanized, in a sense. Now that control of Kirai is given to anons, not only are we playing him as an asshole, but also a stupid asshole. I might've been able to see the benefit in letting Shino fight Gaara. It might teache him about overwhelming odds and fighting an opponent with a much greater power level. Having Hinata fight with a Curse Seal on during her match? If she wins, it was because of the Curse Seal, and if she lose, she just gets injured. It's stuff like this that makes anons bitter, but then again, hindsight is always 20/20.

To reiterate, I like Kirai. I think most anons do too. His character is fun, and he's straightforward; something most other characters lack nowadays. Plus, he's an asshole, and assholes are fun to play. Despite all that though? A little character development wouldn't kill the guy. I'm not saying we should go use all our money on food for starving orphans. I'm saying we should take the time to have him slowly develop as a person, now that Kirai is finally exposed to more people in his life.

It's been a few months now, after all. Signs are slow, as they should be, but this is just ridiculous.

>>1867707
>>1867706
It really comes down to anons voting for those options and as much as I complained about some of the moves being dumb. These are probably the safest times for Kirai to be pushing Team 8 as hard as he is.

I'd probably feel the worst for Akamaru if I didn't know how large he becomes.

>>1867709
God I hope Akamaru didn't die or get crippled. That shit isn't even our fault this time, but it makes me super worried.

>>1867707

Mainly, my problem with developing Kirai into a nicer person is the background story we were given. It's not like Kirai once was a nice guy who got scarred by the tragedies of war and is a asshole to distance from other people, he was always a gives no fucks dude since he was born and even as a 10-something old genin he never cared about bonds or if his fellow soldiers got killed.

It's kinda hard to make a smooth transition from eternal asshole to slighty nicer asshole when he never gave a single fuck about other living beings.

>>1867711
It's still quite early imo

Kirai has loads of time to smooth out and that'll probably start with him denying that he actually remembers Kiba's name.

>>1867711
You'd be correct in that his background story would make things difficult. You'd also be correct that a smooth transition is nigh-impossible. I agree with both of these statements. Despite this though, I still believe we should make Kirai less of an asshole, even if it's unintentional.

For example, let's say he makes his student forfeit their matches. It's not because he likes them or anything, or because he feels some kindness towards them, but purely because he thinks the penalties for forcing them to participate outweighs the possible lessons. I think even Kirai would be reluctant to throw his students into something that would spell certain death or permanent injury for them, after all.

From there, over a long, long course of the quest, we slowly make him less of an asshole and give him a couple of redeeming moments that'll show that will make other people think better of them. Hell, maybe he doesn't even have to care or show any form of affection. Maybe he'll just think that it was the best decision at the time and nothing more.

I think by the end of the quest, if Kirai dies and nobody(including our students) shows any sadness, we've failed to develop his character at all. Like how Shikamaru developed once Asuma died, I think at least one of our students should *feel* something once Kirai kicks the bucket.

>>1867711
like I mentioned before in this post.>>1867434
This is more or less the perfect time for his character to start to 'soften' since more likely than not all the other Jonins and even the Hokage are going to have some very pointed questions for Kirai.

>>1867723

Probably we would need more slice of life times to actually pull that. There has a been a much greater emphasis in giving the brats hell than in having quality time with the kids. Kinda like that scene in the ramen cart, he was still being an asshole but gave them a treat, we need more shit like that to actually make believable that sometimes, even if it is only once every six months, he can actually be a decent person.

>>1867721
While he doesn't really care for other people, at least for now, I think some people do care for him. At the very least, Shino seems to appreciate how Kirai pushes him and the others to the extreme to make of them the finest ninjas konoha has ever seen. Probably he would feel something if Kirai meets an untimely end.

>>1867705
I like this. And if the jinchuuriki girl is there visiting him we cab tell that she could feed him her chakra since his bugs would be able to use it to restore it's body. The Bug-brat gets the chance to nip that jiichuuriki chakra and increase his colony power. And of course Kirai will only do this so the bug-brat would be near Fu and so making her visit him while he's in the hospital.

And just like that Shino got hurt and his waifu spended time with him. Making him and Fu closer to each other.

>>1867730
Except we shouldn't want Shino entirely dependant on another person for a powerup, that's just unhealthy. Kirai would probably approve of using every tool in their arsenal and some teamwork but getting your power solely from someone else isn't a good thing.

>>1867768
I wouldn't really call it a powerup, but more a one-time usage thing. Remember that Shino's not gonna have Fu with him throughout his time here, so their interactions are going to be limited to the exam for now. Even if he manages to retain part of Fu's power, it more than likely won't last forever considering you need to have an actual Tailed Beast inside you to continue generating that power.

From what we know about Shino, he doesn't strike me as the kind of guy who would become dependent on another person, at least to the degree that you're implying. If anything, I think he would strategize and formulate a way to properly implement that power; along with carrying the knowledge that it's temporary at best and unreliable at worst.

>>1867768
Im sure given enough of that kind of chakra the bugs could be modified into doing some weird shit and producing their own

>>1867768
I was focusing in using the chakra sharing as a excuse to Shino heal faster so we can train him. And also to make Shino have some time with his waifu.

But to Kirai would be more so Shino and his Hive can recover faster so he can train him.

I like the pragmatic asshole angle we have going, i will continue to vote for pragmatic asshole choices.

>>1867864
That's fine buddy, you do what you want to do.

Hmm. The Last Uchiha brat. You don’t know what sort of condition he is in given the curse mark, but supposedly it does grant great power. You get the feeling it’s the sort of power that would prompt intervention from the Hokage or Kakashi were he to actually use it. That being said, assuming he was in good condition this could be an interesting match. He’d lose, of course, yet it would be interesting.

“You should probably surrender, you know. That snake pummeled you real bad,” says the mint-haired brat.

Probably surrender? Not in very good condition, then. This would be a pretty spectacular and one-sided beatdown if the Nanabi’s jinchuuriki were to use her full power, especially given that he was injured in some way.

“I’ll fight anyway,” says the Uchiha. “I won’t give up without a fight.”

“I respect that.”

“Alright, enough with the talk you two-”

The sickly brat erupts into another coughing fit. You were beginning to seriously worry about his health now.

“…excuse me…begin.”

Once again, wings sprout from the mint-haired brat. They seem insect-like, similar to the kabutomushi wings of her bijuu. They must contain a small amount of its chakra. With the wings, she’s able to fly at the Uchiha with astounding speed, aiming a strike straight at his solar plexus.

To his credit, the Uchiha is fast enough to dodge and redirect the strike downward. Then, he attempts to grab one of the wings from her newly exposed back. Unfortunately, he can’t, as the mint-haird brat simply dissipates her wings. Hmm, she can make them appear and reappear at will. You wonder what the level of chakra drain is, but then realize that considering the amount of chakra she possesses as a jinchuuriki it likely doesn’t matter.

She grabs him by the collar as his arm overextends to grab at he now nonexistent wings. The Uchiha has a brief expression of shock on his face. This ought to be a quick fight, then.

“I’m sorry,” says the mint-haired brat.

“It’s fine,” says the Uchiha. “You’re right where I want you anyway.”

Making handseals right under her nose while she’s got a hold on him? Hmm, kid has balls. He’s lucky the Nanabi’s jinchuuriki was polite enough to apologize first, otherwise he wouldn’t have gotten away with it.

“Katon: Housenka no Jutsu!”

As the small fireballs begin to erupt from his mouth, the mint-haired brat leaps up to avoid them. They’re directed by the Uchiha’s chakra to follow her, but she’s far too agile with those wings of hers to actually be hit. Looks like that last-ditch effort was a failure.
The Nanabi’s jinchuuriki lands once more. The Uchiha is panting. Must be low on chakra.

“That wasn’t nice,” says the mint-haired brat.

The Uchiha smirks.

“Yeah, it wasn’t.”

The mint-haired brat smiles in response.

“You know that you can’t go any further using that strange chakra again?”

“I do,” says the Uchiha brat. He looks up at Kakashi on the stands. “But I’ve been told I can’t.”

>>1867962
“Ah, I see. Sorry again. There’s no way you’ll win this one.”

“Maybe. But next time I’ll be at full strength.”

“Looking forward to next time, then.”

The Uchiha brat doesn’t strike you as the type that would be as fine with losing as he seemed now. Once again, what the hell happened in the Forest of Death?“

“Kakashi. What’s going on here? Wasn’t he supposed to be a prodigy?” asks Asuma.

“His injuries in the Forest of Death were probably too severe for him to perform well. He’s just too stubborn to forfeit,” he responds.

The mint-haired brat doesn’t take long, rushing at the Uchiha and knocking him out clean in one blow.

“Uchiha Sasuke is unable to continue. Fuu wins!”

“DAMN IT!”

The shout is so loud that it could only have come from one brat in particular. You turn to see that some pink-haired brat is shoving a fist into his head in retaliation for her damaged eardrums, but it’s clear that it was, in fact, the Kyuubi’s jinchuuriki. The whiskered brat. Always too noisy for his own good.

“Naruto, you’ve been oddly quiet this whole time, and now suddenly you decide to start screaming?!” says the pink-haired brat, whose voice is irritatingly screechy.

“I’m sorry Sakura-chan! But Sasuke said he wanted to fight me, and now we can’t fight in the finals together…”

“That’s not important! Focus on winning your own fight, idiot! Don’t you think I’m worried about Sasuke-kun, too? The best thing we can do is fight on for Team 7! It’s what he would want.”

“Yeah, you’re right Sakura-chan! I don’t care who it is, I’ll kick their ass!”

“That’s the spirit, Naruto!”

Jeez, their enthusiasm is a bit annoying.

The names once again flash on the monitor and land on…

“Uzumaki Naruto, Haruno Sakura. Come down to the arena, both of you.”

Silence reigns for several seconds. Then…

“WAIT, I HAVE TO FIGHT SAKURA-CHAN?!”

“Proctor, I forfeit.”
“What? Sakura-chan, you can’t forfeit!”

“Naruto, there’s no way I can beat you.”

“Yeah, but…”

“No buts, Naruto.”

“But Sakura-chan…”

“NO BUTS.”

“…okay, -ttebayo.”

How anti-climactic. You were hoping they’d beat the shit out of each other to honor their earlier proclamations. It would be cathartic after how much they’d hurt your ears. Back to looking at the monitor, then.

It flashes, and…

“Kegon, Yourou. Huh. Neither of them are here, so they’re disqualified.”

Suddenly, two men smash through the doors of the examination area.

The larger of the two starts shouting.

“DAMN IT, FUU! WHERE ARE YOU?!”

“Oops, gotta run,” says the mint-haired brat, who quickly transforms back into the insect she ways earlier and flies off.

“Are you two Yourou and Kegon?”

“Hmm? Yes, we are.”

“You two are disqualified for lateness.”

“That’s…whatever, have you seen Fuu?”

“She was here a second ago…”

>Point them in the right direction. That girl should really stop trying to run away from her teammates.

>Eh, tell them nothing. It’s more entertaining for them to keep running around searching.

>>1867966
>Eh, tell them nothing. It’s more entertaining for them to keep running around searching.

No one says a thing, and so the transformed Nanabi jinchuuriki is able to take a spot on the shoulder of the Kyuubi jinchuuriki. If he notices her, he doesn’t give any indication that he does so.

“Fine. Let’s go, Kegon. If she’s not here, she might be back in the forest.”

“Right!”

The two men run back through the door they came from.

The mint-haired brat detransforms and hops off on the whiskered brat’s shoulders before he collapses.

“Sorry about that.”

“Er, it’s alright I guess.”

“Thanks, Naruto.”

They smile and give each other thumbs-ups. Huh, so she also met him at some point during the Forest of Death? For fucks sake. At this point, even Kakashi is looking at them in confusion.

“Right, so back to the-”

The sickly brat starts coughing again. This was getting old.

“…ahem, sorry. The next match will be…”

Names flash across the monitor. And finally, it settles upon…

“Yamanaka Ino, Rock Lee. Come on down.”

“Yosh, it is my turn!” shouts the mini-me.

Gai looks at him with…disappointment?

“Lee, your opponent is a woman. You must remember treat her with respect.”

“I will, Gai-sensei! You don’t have to worry!”

You and Kakashi share a look.

“He…he does realize that she’s a kunoichi, right? Why treat her with any more or less respect than a male combatant?”

“Gai’s like that. Just don't bother.”

“Hmph.”

Gai’s students aren’t unaffected by this proclamation of respect, either. The Hyuuga brat is shaking his head, while Ten-whatever is staring at them with narrowed eyes.

The two genin leap down to the arena.

“Ino-san! I will treat you with respect as I defeat you!”

“Ugh,” she says in response, her face convulsing in disgust. That tended to be women’s reaction to Gai, too. “Can you just not talk to me, like at all?”

“If that would be the most respectful way of defeating you, then of course, Ino-san!”

“Ugh.”

“Quiet down. Begin.”

The next ten seconds go by in a flash. The mini-me is fast enough that he’s on the Yamanaka in a second. He doesn’t actually hit her. Instead, he grabs her by the shoulders, leaps up back to the viewing area and drops her off where she was standing previously, then leaps back to the actual arena.

“Proctor, does that count as a victory?”

“Only if she…”

Cough, cough. Yeah, we get it.

“…forfeits or is rendered unable to continue.”

“But I am trying to win respectfully! Therefore, I cannot strike her!”

The Yamanaka, shocked at his speed, is staring at the mini-me with her eyes wide open. The mini-me, noticing this, smiles widely, bearing is sparkling white teeth. He gives her a thumbs-up. She shivers.

“Don’t worry, I forfeit. I don’t want to be anywhere near him.”

“Ino!”

"No, Asuma-sensei. I’m not going to win anyway. Unless you’re going to throw me in like that old guy did to Shino, I’m not heading back there.”

Asuma sighs.

“Fine.”

“Okay,” says the sickly brat in between coughs, “Then Rock Lee wins. Moving on to the next match.”

The monitor flashes names. It lands on…good, finally.

>>1868122
“Hyuuga Hinata, Yoroi Akado. Come down here.”

Your Hyuuga, versus one of the brats with the stupid glasses. This one actually had sunglasses, of all things. Indoors. Not to mention the same face mask as that other one. Were they concealing deformities under those things? Well, no matter. It’s time for one of your students to battle again, so you’ll observe closely to see how the brat does.

“Remember, Hyuuga,” you say, “Remember your goal. You’ll never match up to him without striving forward here.”

She turns to look at you. Then she nods her head.

“…right, Kirai-sensei. I…I will do my best.”

“You damn well better. Haven’t I taught you that way? Now go kick his ass.”

She nods again, slower this time, and then turns her attention to the ring, jumping in with no hesitation. Hmm, let’s see how she deals with her first real combat. Actually, she was in the Forest of Death and faced Orochimaru, so…her first real one-on-one combat with an opponent of the same level, then. Her reaction would be interesting. She was always a bit pacifistic, which is why you had felt the need to remind her of her goal in the first place.

Now, her injuries were likely similar to Sasuke’s. However, given her opponent looked like some random idiot, you were fairly confident it wouldn’t matter. Not when she had the Gentle Fist on her side, anyway. She takes a firm stance facing the sunglasses brat.

“Alright,” coughs the proctor, “Begin.”

They don’t move. After several moments, it is clear that neither wants to make a move right now. Huh. Was her stamina severely impacted by her injuries? You hope not.

“Come at me, Hyuuga,” says the sunglasses brat, “I’m waiting.”

The Hyuuga girl frowns, but complies once she realizes she has no other option as a taijutsu specialist. Her first strike, colored a resplendent blue with chakra, is shoved into his stomach. Nothing happens. The strike’s chakra simply dissipates into nothing.
She tries again. And again. By this point, her frown has turned into a full on grimace, and the sunglasses brat is laughing at her.

You already figured it out, of course. The sunglasses brat was able to absorb her chakra. Normally this wouldn’t be an issue, but since her style relied on chakra, it wasn’t doing much damage. That wasn’t the whole story though. If her hands hit him, it would still do damage. Apparently, she was intentionally holding back and trying to hit him only with the chakra, rather than a direct physical hit with her hands. Was she afraid of killing him? That wouldn’t do.

“Hyuuga. Fight seriously.”

She turns to you, and in that moment, is seized by the sunglasses brat. Damn it, Hyuuga. Never take your eyes off of your opponent.

>>1868122
>>1868128
The sunglasses brat starts laughing gleefully, sucking up her chakra. She’s getting weaker as her already partially exhausted chakra is being depleted, and that’s when you notice the hint of black…something starting to crawl across her skin. It was accompanied by the appearance of a menacing chakra. Was this the power of the curse mark being activated?

>Hmm, better intervene and stop this before something bad happens. If you don’t do it, then Kakashi or the Hokage will probably just do it first.

>Just tell her to suppress it and use her own power. It might not work and just result in even more severe chakra exhaustion, but you want her to see this fight to the conclusion like her teammates did with theirs.

>>1868162
Honestly, not only is telling her to use it as her own power kind of a dick move, it's also not that smart. We shouldn't want our genin to kill themselves in the Chuunin exams, the whole point was to test them, not have them kill themselves to win.

We are telling her to not use it and to use her own power.

“Hyuuga! Is this how you want your shinobi career to end, laying there like a pathetic weakling? Even worse, relying on someone else’s power rather than your own just so you can preserve your miserable life? I know that you are stronger than this, Hyuuga. If you don’t get up this very instant and pummel his ass into oblivion with your own two hands then clearly everything I’ve taught to you has been wasted!”

The seems to re-energize her, as she grimaces through the pain. The curse mark slowly recedes, eliciting a whimper from her. But she seems to bear with it. The sunglasses brat has his hand pushing her into the ground through contact with her forehead. The Hyuuga opens her mouth and bites down on his wrist, hard. You can see the blood flowing out. Fucking hell, that wound is potentially lethal. Good job, Hyuuga.

The sunglasses brat withdraws his hand in panic. The Hyuuga does not let him run, however. She forms her hand into tight ball and forms her chakra around it. What’s this? This is not a normal open-palmed Gentle Fist technique. In fact, the movement of her arm as she moves to strike actually resembles…the movement of one of your own strikes. What the fuck? Has she managed to emulate some portions of your taijutsu style?

With his bleeding wrist distracting him, the Hyuuga shoves her chakra-coated fist into his midsection. The resulting damage is extensive. His stomach appears to be blown open on impact, his whole body being tossed forward and into the wall. The Hyuuga, panting, looks at what she’s done. The sunglasses brats’ internal organs are starting to leak out of him, his whole body a bloody mess.

She collapses and starts puking in the middle of the arena as the medic-nin rush over to him with delay.

“Hurry,” one of them says, “We need to get him to the ER, quick, or he won’t make it!”

As he’s being carried out on a stretcher, you take a closer look at your genin. She’s shaking, and even after her stomach has emptied she’s still dry heaving. Huh.

>Go congratulate her on her first kill. Pat her on the back and compliment her skills. Girls like compliments, right?

>Hmm, maybe this calls for a more subtle approach. Pat her on the back and get her some water or something, she could use it. Then give her the traditional post first-kill talk.
