Shinobi Sidestory Quest #60 Queen of Darts !!mceqYMwptbm (ID: SvfqIajb) 10/20/24(Sun)19:40:54 No.6126605

You are Uzumaki Naori, leader of the shinobi village of Amegakure. Before that you were widely regarded as one of the most powerful Commanders in the Allied Shinobi Forces, and before that you were known among those “in the know” as one of the most dangerous terrorists in the world. But as of right now that honor goes to an organization calling itself ‘Kara’.

Fighting against Kara has been more of a frustration so far than anything else, and a generally unusual experience overall. While you and your own former comrades in Akatsuki were constantly engaging with the world, through mercenary work and through Kakuzu’s obsession with collecting bounties, Kara has made it their business model to lay low as much as possible. Even with Sasuke and international support from the Five Great Nations behind the effort, little progress was made until recently in terms of tracking down Kara’s “Inners”.

Interestingly enough it was your son who made the first breakthrough in identifying and intercepting a cyborg woman named Delta, who he brought you in to capture so as to avoid collateral damage. Then he ran into a former Inner named Ōga while on an undercover escort mission – of all things, during a school field trip. That would probably be hilarious had it not presented such a high risk of things going horribly, horribly wrong had it been a different combination of Kara and jōnin. Thankfully, Ōga surrendered herself into custody and agreed to emotional counseling to help her cope with the mild brain damage she suffered in her final hours before leaving Kara.

…

“So yeah, that’s where we’re at,” you sigh, after recounting recent events to Fū. “Dragging them all out one at a time and dealing with them has worked so far, so we’re gonna try it again.”

“Lemme get this straight,” Fū crosses her arms. “We’re gonna take an armored train.”

“Regular one won’t do, so yeah.”

“And we’re gonna pretend to be moving two prisoners to Amegakure,” she continues.

“Yup.”

“So we can force Kara to try and get them back.”

“We’re assuming it’ll work,” you shrug. “But yeah. That’s the plan.”

“And this’ll probably wreck the train.”

“Probably.”

“That sounds…”

… yes?

“… like an AWESOME plan!” Fū shouts excitedly. “I’m going with you, right? Please tell me I’m going with you!?”

You can’t help but laugh out loud, drawing some stares from the shinobi around her who have been helping process the former employees of Victor’s company… how long has it been since you’ve been on an adventure like this with Fū? Too long, too long. “Yeah, that was definitely part of the plan. I need people I can count on for this one, and I can’t think of many people I’d rather leave my back to.”

Fū doesn’t really answer you so much as she does that wordless excited squee thing she does.

“Keep this in mind though,” you continue, “one of the possible members we’d be trapping has a weird ability. You’ll need to use Chōmei’s chakra cloak to protect yourself.”

“Yeah?” she asks curiously. “What is it?”

“Some kind of viral cloud apparently,” you explain. “Think of it like a poison cloud.”

“Hmmm,” she replies, stroking her chin for emphasis. “I see, I see. Can you protect yourself?”

“Pretty sure ‘Storm Sage’ mode will do the trick,” you answer. “I can probably extend it to protect one more person in close range.”

“Which with your hiraishin can mean anything,” she guesses your own thoughts.

“Pretty much. See that’s what I’m going for – you’re not a clone of me so you think differently and have different abilities, but we can anticipate each other. Not quite like we’re sharing the same set of braincells, but as close as two people can get to it.”

“So who’s our third?” Fū asks. “I’m assuming we’re taking a third?”

… the one person you immediately rule out is, sadly, Yugito. Seeing as you can’t say for certain what your enemy’s long term plan is you might be walking into a trap if you take two jinchuriki along for this particular ride.

>I was thinking Sasuke. His abilities may be very useful, especially the partial susanō’ō which can seal out poisons and gasses.
>Probably going to go with Karin. Same trust as with you, but with Uzumaki fūinjutsu capabilities that could come in handy.
>I was thinking about bringing Ryūzetsu. She’s one of the VERY few people who can synchronize with my senjutsu chakra.
>Other?

How about a really unexpected person, someone no one would actually think about:
Our old partner, Sasori of the red sand.

I can't say for certain, but i bet he would like to get rid of any underground organizations with a size like Kara that could get in his way.
And since their long term goals are uncertain being proactive makes sense.
Another point is that it could provide him some leeway with the shinobi alliance or just Naori, a favor he can cash in when necessary.

Or one could appeal to his more traditional sensibilites, proving without a shadow of a doubt that technological ninja tools can't hold a candle to the 'proper arts. It also gives him a chance to test any recent inventions he is proud of.
