This is Boruto Quest, a quest set in the universe of Naruto. It is during the generation of Naruto's son, shortly after everyone has graduated from their Genin exam. I haven't kept up with the series beyond the end of the original one, so this one is intended to recapture the feel of that time of Naruto. I will not be incorporating the main show or the Boruto movie's plot into the quest, although some recognizable characters will be present. You play as a 12 year old Genin graduate named Takeshi. You have been assigned a Jounin squad leader named Hanto, and your two squadmates are Kichiro, a young delinquent, and Ai, a strange social outcast of a girl. You are of average skill in most aspects, although your sharp intelligence has recently been making itself apparent. Preparations for the final tournament of the Chunin Exams has begun, and Genin all over the Leaf Village training under wise masters. Shikamaru is in charge of your instruction, and you're currently in the middle of grueling training!

>>44216402
Hey, everyone. We're going to speed through these last few choices and get the tournament fights started tonight! I'll probably only run for a few hours, but things are going to move fast.
---
It's the next morning, once you're done with your Sealing Jutsu training with Shikamaru. You mentally look back on how you had been before the month started as you slowly awaken, and a sense of shock overwhelms you. The difference between the things you could do and how you are at this moment is astronomical. It makes you feel as if the Forest had only been troubling to you because you were ill prepared.
Or maybe, the Forest is what has prepared you for what's to come. You have to be broken down first to be rebuilt, right? That happened pretty thoroughly in the forest.
You clench your fist as you sit on the edge of your bed. The coming tournament's weight is bearing down on you, more than ever before. You stand up and shower before getting some breakfast.

>>44216402
I'm going to be honest here, I did not know if you were actually gonna run two nights in a row.That feeling when I saw the twitter update, though...
>>44216556
I'm extremely unpredictable. Another reason for you guys to think I'm a chick
>>44216414
>B. Train Speed
>>44216571
>Chicks
>chicks is short for chicken
>Mini is actually apart of the chicken mafia
I KNEW IT
>>44216621
MINI NUGGETS!
>>44216414
>C. Train Stamina
We need to get so tough and untiring that we wear down our opponents, as the Underdog Seal is useful for that. This is why I'm glad we got Soldier Pills.
>>44216672
We should take upon ourselves to find an upgrade for them pills.
>Super Soldier Pills
>>44216672
Rather not get hit than be untiring. Being tough won't stop a gentle first, chidori, chakra enhanced fist, or rasengan from wrecking our ass.
I feel like we should be able to fit stamina/strength/speed training under one regiment.
Because as you get stronger, don't you get faster and gain more endurance?
>>44216717
Well, I meant tough as in not ever getting winded and wearing down our opponent. This fits well with poison as it allows us to refresh ourselves while the enemy languishes. A battle of attrition if you will.
>>44216717
I concur lets not get hit to start with
>B
>>44216752
No. You lift weights for strength, and do cardio for endurance. Practice what you want to be faster at to improve speed and reflexes.
>>44216793
>lift weights
DON'T FORGET LEG DAY
>>44216414
>>C. Train Stamina
Aaand there's my excuse to delay sleep.
>Food for thought
IF we manage to lock down Boruto for long enough, we should mind fuck him! by this i mean we use the interrogation technique while he is parallelized and extract some lessons of how he learn the Rasingan apply what we extract to our own learning! Hell we could even us it on willing targets to witness past battles!
>>44216853
So wait.
Boruto didn't inherit the Byakugan? Lame.
>>44216414
>B. Train Speed
>>44216853
I was thinking that proposing a challenge to Boruto would work. Like, we know that in a battle we would have to get lucky and be smart to win, where as he can almost instantly shred us. Tell him that if he can withstand a single jutsu from us, that he can prove himself even more of a legend. Hopefully he accepts, then we use Interrogation. If he does hold up, then we should probably hold to the deal, if not, we win.
It seems like a stupid idea, but it might be a good chance.
>>44216893
Makes our job messing with him with Faze Clones easier, our biggest issue will be cornering the little douche with all those clones, and if we get hit we are as good as done for :/
>>44216893
Nope, but his sister did. Funny huh? Maybe he was such a jerk that Hyuga genes noped out?
>>44216923
Genjutsu works REALLY well on him compared to his sister or Sarada.
>>44216909
could do that, go for the Knowledge and hell even if we loose we may get something outta him (could poker face it and tease him about knowing a little secret of his). If all goes well we could blackmail him into surrendering!
>>44216818
Don't worry bro, I never do.
Once you meet with Shikamaru, you tell him that you'd like to do some speed training.
He nods. "That's good. I was thinking about suggesting the same thing. You see, this entire month I've been taking your choices into consideration and trying to think of the best advice that I could give you for the tournament. I may not be willing to teach you my clan's Ninjutsu, and I may not be the best teacher for everything else, but making you a well rounded, well prepared shinobi has been my goal this entire time. I think with that alone, you'll do just fine against anything."
You smile, a mile wide. "Thank you sensei. I didn't know you thought so highly of me."
He grins slyly. "I guess I can be a little critical, but it's because it gets results. Or, we'll see if it does, at least."
You spend the next two days doing mostly reaction-based exercises, and lengthy sprints to strengthen your legs. You're easily fast enough to keep up with the majority of Genin that you had met in the Forest when they clearly outdid you before.
After the training, Shikamaru gives you his final words of advice.
"Takeshi. This has been quite a unique experience, training someone one on one that wasn't my son. I've never really had a personal student or squad of Genin before, and I think it's safe to say that after this I might look into it again. Years ago, when I was your age, my sensei saw that I had a certain spark of potential in me, and he showed me that there are things more important than being comfortable, and gazing at the clouds."
You weren't really sure what he meant, but you nodded all the same listening intently. "I see that same spark in you, Takeshi. It makes me curious for the future. Good luck."
by the way guy, what do we look like/what are we wearing? I did some shitty art for Laze's Quest and may try here too.
You bow, and head to the weapon's shop to resupply yourself. You stock up on your standard equipment, including senbon, generic poison, (10 uses), caltrops, kunai, shuriken, wire (5 uses), flash bombs, and Shino's bug venom. (3 uses)
You haven't done any missions in quite a while, but you haven't spent too much money either since then. Training has kept you busy. You'll be able to afford any of the following items.
>A. Two explosive tags
>B. Two Fuuma Shuriken
>C. One standard green Flak Jacket
>>44217141
>A. Two explosive tags
>B. Two Fuuma Shuriken
>>44217141
>A. Two explosive tags
>>44217141
>B. Two Fuuma Shuriken
We can throw them on wire and use the whistling as a stand-in for the paralytic bells...maybe.
>>44217141
>>A. Two explosive tags
>>B. Two Fuuma Shuriken
>>44217141
>>A. Two explosive tags
At worst we can slap them on someone if they get real close to us before we disengage.
>>44217141
>A. Two explosive tags
>>44217141
>C. One standard green Flak Jacket
Not getting stabbed as much would be nice.
>>44217190
Not to mention you can use your Shadow Shuriken jutsu with them.
I want to note that I'm not going to be updating the character sheet. That's up to you guys. I'll always post the most recent one in the OP though.
>>44217141
Can we take up crafting our own weapons?
I'd really like to explore that angle...
>>44217141
>A. Two explosive tags
>>44217141
>B. Two Fuuma Shuriken
I CAUGHT UP!
>>44217141
>>C. One standard green Flak Jacket
Won't get consumed and leave us high and dry in later matches
>>44217212
>Shadow Shuriken Fuumas
Oh fuck the hell yes.
>>44217141
>C. One standard green Flak Jacket
I don't wanna get stabbed.
>>44217219
You don't really have time or money for something like that as a hobby. If you were serious about getting involved with forging and the like, you could ask Tenten about a part-time job. It's the only way, really. Store has it's own smithing facilities and Tenten will teach you.
>>44217141
>B. Two Fuuma Shuriken
Far more utility.
>>44217265
I'm down. Plus if we ever use up our weapons or they get taken we could just use anything around us and transform it into an object of death!
Plus it's a nice skill to have for someone as average as Takeshi.
>>44217265
If Takeshi started to make his own weapons, how interesting/dangerous would they be considering his high intelligence?
>>44217141
>>B. Two Fuuma Shuriken
>>44217141
>B. Two Fuuma Shuriken
>>44217141
>>B. Two Fuuma Shuriken
>>44217297
No more than any other schmuck. Tactics has nothing to do with the delicate process of forging.
>>44217141
>>44217212
Welp, I'm convinced.
>B. Two Fuuma Shuriken
>>44217265
I... Honestly wouldn't be opposed to that? although I'd like to get ourselves straightened out with Mari first however that turns out.
>>44217141
>>B. Two Fuuma Shuriken
>>44217141
>C. One standard green Flak Jacket
For when we inevitably have to put ourselves in danger for a small but decisive lead.
>>44217335
I'm down. I wanna be able to make weapons on the level of those filler guys.
Fuck you Takumi Village, we're gonna make awesome ninja gear for us and our friends!
>inb4 tenten starts trying to hook us up with Mari to keep the expertise within the family
>>44217413
You're not really going to be able to do anything crazy with smithing.
Anything you would be talented enough to make, Tenten could forge it ten times better, faster, and cheaper. Not to mention with the developments in science and technology over the last decades, there's not too much in the way of exploration. Most of the rapid advances in warfare are purely scientific, such as the Kote, Chakra Armor, Anzai's Rifle, ect.
>>44217460
What about a chakra-based railgun that uses lightning chakra? Or a long-range water cutter that can use water chakra to cut through a foot of steel from thirty feet with ease?
>>44217460
Well getting Tenten new weapons and armor schematics could be side goal. We see new equipment from other villages all the time. Analyze, sample and research it for her and pass it on.
>>44217492
Not entirely unreasonable, but Takeshi doesn't know dick about inventing stuff.
>>44217521
that's possible, especially since if you pass you'll be pushed along to Intelligence, which deals often with foreign technological advances
>>44217492
>chakra-based railgun
Chakra Gear?!
anyone think we should try to grab the Ninneko contract, they use Genjutsu and are cute as all hell
You end up purchasing the two Fuuma Shuriken, the type that are collapsible for easy transport. Folding them up and then stringing them onto your back with a leather strap that came with the purchase, they rest at an angle that makes it easy for you to tear them free and unleash.
Tenten wishes you luck on your way out. You had intended to stop by the flower shop as well, but when you arrive you see that there's a closed sign hanging on the front door. Apparently they're busy preparing flower arrangements for the tournament tomorrow. You gulp, feeling a bit of dryness in your throat. Tomorrow is the tournament. Is there anything you want to do on the final night of your month of training?
>A. Yes (Write-in)
>B. No (Start the tournament)
----
The poison shop is going to be unavailable to you at this time because I feel you're loaded up with plenty of the stuff. You have three uses of high power stuff, and there aren't going to be many more rounds for you than that.
>>44217593
>B. No (Start the tournament)
>>44217591
We seem to be destined for owls
>>44217593
>A. Yes (Write-in)
Can we talk to our bro s'more.
We don't get enough of him. Ask him and his buddies advice?
>>44217593

Eh, Takeshi's a smart kid, he'll figure it out.
>>44217593
>A. Yes. Visit Bro at work and relax near him, even if he doesn't have work off.
>>B. No (Start the tournament)
Lets get down to business. be rested and hyped, lets go got shot in the face by Archer.
>>44217593
>B. No (Start the tournament)
Wonder who the first match is between
>>44217653
You're more knowledgeable about biological sciences than mechanical. That'd have been true if you'd have been a puppeteer.
The highest tier of medical jutsu and sealing jutsu is screwing with DNA and warping space.
>>44217593
>>B. No (Start the tournament)
>>44217671
We're first.
>>44217593
>B. No (Start the tournament)
>>44217680
>The highest tier of medical jutsu and sealing jutsu is screwing with DNA and warping space.
>screwing with DNA
Can we make a bioweapon that kills only specific people, and recognizes its targets by their DNA? We can call it "Nindie".
>>44217680
Well, we technically are equal parts of both.Could we start dissecting OP bloodlines and figuring out what makes them tick?
>>44217711
I kinda want to have Takeshi be known to most of the ninja world outside of Konoha as La-Li-Lu-Le-Lo.
>>44217593
>B. No (Start the tournament)
>>44217717foreign bloodlines first, please. Leaf bloodlines only when our research gets discovered and they turn against us for our crimes against nature
>>44217593
>A. Yes (Masturbate furiously)
>>44217540
A weapon to surpass Ninjas!
Guys, I've found our "gotcha" smirk for when we out-keikaku people.

I vote seeing battle 0!
>>44218007
He's a Genin from the Stone Village who specializes in the use of a longbow. He's so well known for it that people generally call him The Archer, or just Archer instead of anything else.
>>44218028
...Usagi...
>>44218028
ah....ok, some keen eyes, quick moving and shape witted....snap. Guess we gotta use Have Clones to mess with him since he'll be fine at messing with illusions maybe if we can get the Bell Paralyze down we can close in and bash him.
Seriously, if Kichiro managed to beat Sarada, i'd join the Kichiro Hype Train.
And i would hire him to be the Grimmjow to our Aizen.

Am I the only one who thinks just watching other people fight is super boring?
>>44218123
Your opinion has been noted an filed. Have a Nice day!
>>44218123
I think it can be pretty exciting if our friends are involved, and interesting/informative if it's our enemies.
>>44218123
It is but it gives vital info on them.
A brief synopsis of each fight would be better though, but that wouldn't be as fun.
>>44218123
nope
>>44217920
4. Takeshi vs. Usagi
>>44218123
No, you are not. I prefer it at the end of thread.
>>44218123
Yes
>>44218123
Yup
>>44218123
The only fights you have to do are yours and your team member's. Everyone else is completely optional. But, most people tend to vote to see more characters they like have some action.
>>44217920
>Saitama
worry.jpg
>>44218123
It can be, but it's often informative.
>>44218123
I personally enjoy it. Often we get vital info, and the fights are entertaining. Especially interested in seeing what our teammates bring.
>>44218123
I have fun reading them but I think doing our own personal fight and then having the other fights be write ups after threads like how the other fights were done during our training would be great.
>>44218123
I like it personally. I find them interesting and informative.
Plus it allows Mini to flesh out the supporting cast for us.
Also if we black out again, we really don't have to worry about seeing any more fights.
>>44218189
Yeah I get you, I feel the same way its awesome seeing other characters but I really wanna act rather than burn though most of a session just watching
>>44218211
Yeah, much like the original series this entire group of 40 or so is going to be your supporting cast for pretty much the rest of the quest. Other people will come and go but they're B grade where others are NP-C grade
>>44218162
She'l be fine.nah
>>44217920
>4. Takeshi vs Usagi
Lets go ahead and get ourselves out of the way. Plus we only have Mini for a few hours.
>>44218229
Groovy. You made alot of interesting characters heading into this arc, it'll be cool to see more of them as the quest progresses.
It's the day. Your match was first, much to your surprise. You were hoping that it'd at least be later in the tournament a bit, so you could settle into the vibe and get a feel for the crowd. Scout out the situation. But you're being thrown directly into the pit, it seems. You had looked at the massive arena, easily several hundred meters wide and perfectly circular. The concrete and steel enforced walls rise more than fifty meters as well, having been raised in recent years as the Chunin Exams have become increasingly explosive.
As you sit on the stairs that lead down to the arena, you feel cold sweat on your fingertips. The door below opens and a shinobi wearing a headset pokes his head in. "You're up."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-Z5AwHE_JM
You clench your fists, and stand up sharply. "Right."
As you're marching down the stairs, you take a surprisingly serious face compared to your general demeanor. These fights are no joke. You can't allow failure after how far you've come, and any threat seems infantile in comparison to the thought of that failure.
You swing open the doors, and you're briefly blinded by light as you walk forward. The crowd is cheering at a mild volume, and you can plainly see Usagi entering from the other side of the arena. Chills are consuming your body as you feel the weight of the crowd bearing down on you, but when you compare it to the heat of the sun, or the sharp edges of stone, it all washes away.
You take a deep breath, looking down towards the ground. You look up slowly on the exhale, completely calming your mind and eliminating all distractions. Your mental training, your physical training, your experience, it's all been building up to this moment.
>>44218527
You lock gazes with your enemy, standing staunch and tail. He's several inches taller than you with medium length black hair, and tanned skin. His eyes are narrow and incredibly sharp, though hidden behind a pair of clear goggles. There's a hawk's feather tucked into the side of his Stone headband.
When you see him looking back at you, he meets your fiery determination with what seems to be confusion, or curiosity. Like he just can't quite peg you. Neither of you say a word of trash talk, however.
The proctor, Udon, stands between you. "Begin!" and leaps away.
Usagi remains completely motionless, opting to analyze just as he had done with Inojin. It seems the ball is in your court.
The crowd yells above you for action, vibrating the air.
>A. Throw a flash bomb at him, and then charge with Taijutsu
>B. Use the Haze Clone Jutsu and attack him during the confusion

We need to be proactive
>>44218539
>C. Prepare Paralyzing Bells. (Throw Senbon with bells at him, with a hidden wire. Then throw senbon without bells to distract. Allows usage of Jutsu next turn.)
Above all keep moving
>>44218539
>>B. Use the Haze Clone Jutsu and attack him during the confusion
Those goggles probably protect his eyes. and I'd like to keep the bell jutsu as a surprise for later.,
>>44218539
False Sight Jutsu.
Make his bow turn into a snake and his arrows into...more snakes.
>>44218539
>C. Prepare Paralyzing Bells. (Throw Senbon with bells at him, with a hidden wire. Then throw senbon without bells to distract. Allows usage of Jutsu next turn.)
>>44218539
>C. Prepare Paralyzing Bells. (Throw Senbon with bells at him, with a hidden wire. Then throw senbon without bells to distract. Allows usage of Jutsu next turn.)
>>44218596
He'd disrupt the illusion as soon as he moved. False Place is purely visual
>>44218539
Analyze his movements. We'll throw the senbons under the shadow of the Fuuma Shuriken with our Shadow Shuriken Jutsu. The Haze Clone shall be used to confuse him if he moves, combined with the False Noise jutsu so he'll never be able to pinpoint exactly where we are.
Sounds good for you guys?
>>44218539
>C. Prepare Paralyzing Bells. (Throw Senbon with bells at him, with a hidden wire. Then throw senbon without bells to distract. Allows usage of Jutsu next turn.)
>>44218539
>C. Prepare Paralyzing Bells. (Throw Senbon with bells at him, with a hidden wire. Then throw senbon without bells to distract. Allows usage of Jutsu next turn.)
It will look like how we started last fight, meaning it could make him think we're aiming for the exact same trick we pulled last time.
>>44218539
>>B. Use the Haze Clone Jutsu and attack him during the confusion
Someone had the idea last time to use CQC to try and sneak a bell onto his bow. I like that idea.
>>44218539
>C. Prepare Paralyzing Bells. (Throw Senbon with bells at him, with a hidden wire. Then throw senbon without bells to distract. Allows usage of Jutsu next turn.)
We need to shut this guy down fast.
>>44218623
this
>>44218643
I concur, lets set him up. I think he is playing coy so we don't expect him to do something brutal
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRW-docvWxA
You flick open your weapon's pouch and draw out the specially prepared senbon with bells that you have. These contain a clear, difficult to see length of wire. With a quick wrist motion, the senbon are sent flying. Only one of them has the string attached, while the other two with bells are the real distractions. Usagi simply leans out of the way of the two that were on target, and lets the third slip by completely unnoticed. They stick in the dirt behind him, falling in an arc, just as you'd thrown them.
Usagi holds up his boy, and you clench the fist holding the wire. Your movement is going to be somewhat restricted if you want to hold onto this thing to activate the jutsu, so you'll have to wait for an opening as you dodge his attacks.
Activating the jutsu now would reveal your trick. If you can activate it and not only maintain it, it should extremely disorient him.
You'll have to grit your teeth through it. Hopefully you fair better than Inojin.
>A. Dodge the arrows with your speed, and then throw the senbon without bells before using the Paralyzing Bells jutsu.
>B. Throw a flash bomb, then throw the senbon without bells before using the Paralyzing Bells jutsu.
>C. Throw a smoke bomb. He won't be able to see you, and you'll be able to activate your jutsu. You won't be able to see him, however, so you'll miss the paralysis stage of the jutsu as the smoke dissipates, moving directly to the clone illusion phase.

If we get close thats a definite idea

We are probably not the fastest Genin he's faced. Not by far.

>>44218808
>B. Throw a flash bomb, then throw the senbon without bells before using the Paralyzing Bells jutsu.
It may cause him to think its a poison rather then genjutsu immediately throwing him off or tail, once paralyzed get in close point blank Water Bullets.
>>44218808
>B. Throw a flash bomb, then throw the senbon without bells before using the Paralyzing Bells jutsu.
Flash out.
>>44218808
>>B. Throw a flash bomb, then throw the senbon without bells before using the Paralyzing Bells jutsu.
We're fast. We're not that fast.
>>44218824
>>44218842
>>44218859
The dudes a hunter shooting fast prey is his thing, prey that use flash bangs....not so much.
>>44218808
>B. Throw a flash bomb, then throw the senbon without bells before using the Paralyzing Bells jutsu.
The flash might help disorientate him even more.
>>44218883
That's right, he probably controls the arrows he sends with chakra strings.
>>44218808
>B. Throw a flash bomb, then throw the senbon without bells before using the Paralyzing Bells jutsu.
>>44218808
>A. Dodge the arrows with your speed, and then throw the senbon without bells before using the Paralyzing Bells jutsu.
>>44218886
He's not a hunter, he's The Archer. He kills people.
>>44218908
I think his point still stands.
>>44218808
>>B. Throw a flash bomb, then throw the senbon without bells before using the Paralyzing Bells jutsu.
>>44218908
You can hunt people.
...
Not that I've ever..done such a thing...
>>44218902
Not mention the guy can shatter his arrows to make shrapnel.
>>44218945
The most dangerous game.
>>44218945
Oh course not that would be wrong.WE HAVE HUNTED THE MOST DEADLY PREY YOU AND I
>>44218945
Whether or not he's a hunter isn't a point. The point that he wouldn't expect a flash bomb because he primarily hunts animals is the part I meant.
>>44218977
The goggles have polarizing lenses, you mean.
>>44218808
>B. Throw a flash bomb, then throw the senbon without bells before using the Paralyzing Bells jutsu.
You know. A bow and arrow would make an awesome weapon for someone with a byakugan.
Hell any long range weapon would be awesome.
SNIPER HYUUGA GO!
>>44218966
Not really. They don't have any natural defenses, and once you deprive them of weapons, armor and drop them off in the wilderness to hunt they're very dumb.
Alone their pretty stupid too. They don't even taste good and make terrible trophies.
>>44219021
There's actually a quest on another site where they gave Hinata a bow. And also naruto learned sealing like a proper Uzumaki.
The results were demon-fox-empowered explosive arrows from several kilometers away.
It's scary.
So after we paralyze him I say we hit him with plenty of poison. The regular stuff, since we've got a good shot at him while he's paralyzed
>>44219076
I say close for interrogation, he has advantage at range, we do not.
>>44219076
Eh...fine. But I do have an opening strategy that might be fun to use against someone else involving our new buy.
>>44219087
Interrogation is useless in combat unless he can't move, and That won't last long.
>>44219104
Is it, didn't know that. I still think closing is a good choice to mitigate his advantages.
>>44218996
Either way when I know when Welding Goggles rapidly polarize and back again there is a bit of a gap, it also fucks with your head. I hate welding
If we break the bow, can we offer to replace it after the match?
I like Archer. He seems like a cool dude and I don't wanna have bad blood if we break his trade mark weapon.
>>44219125
Unless the polarization uses chakra as a trigger.
>>44219021
Seriously? Does the name Richard Connell not ring a bell?
It's a classic little bit of 20s literature.
>>44219159
You can't expect anons to be well read, especially in a naruto quest.
>>44219159
I know the reference....
It's been used a lot since then. I was just making a funny joke about hunting people and cannibalism.
>>44219185
It wasn't funny.
>>44219127
Hell no. It's a fight. If you're not prepared to lose it, you don't bring it.
>>44219176
I can hope.
>>44219197
The people being hunted probably didn't think so either.
>>44219197
Not every joke is.
Unlike you.
D'ohohohohoho.
>>44219206
See >>44219201 This was better.
You'll get it one day.
>>44219051
Link?
>>44219283
It's on indefinite hiatus, unfortunately. Never made it to the Chunin exams. But yeah, concepts of artillery arrows were talked about, and confirmed as possible. I think it's on SV
>>44219283
As he pulls the bowstring back, you tense your body and sling down a flash bomb between the two of you. You cover your eyes briefly as the bright flash shrouds the arena. You can here the crowd gasp in confusion and annoyance as much of them are momentarily blinded. Pulling your arm away from your eyes and reaching down to grab some senbon, you move with fluid grace as you sling the senbon without bells in his direction.
As you've got your hand in your weapon's pouch and your eyes lock on his position, you find that he was holding a finger to the side of his goggles. Seeing you reach for your pouch, he immediately drew his bow back up and fired off an arrow.
The thing is lightning fast, but your reflexes have been pushed to the limit. By rolling to the left you dodge the arrow, and it vibrates loudly as it pierces the dirt. As you're standing back up, an arrow flies just behind your left calf and shreds your pants. You think it may have scratched you, but you decide not to worry about it, opting to take off sprinting.
The wire for your jutsu is clenched tightly in hand, and it seems that flash bombs won't work on Usagi. You have your senbon without bells in the other hand.
What do you want to do?
>A. Throw the senbon in your hand to distract him as you grab your fuuma shuriken. Unfold it, and spin it as hard as you can. Maybe it can function as a makeshift shield?
>B. Throw down a smoke bomb, and activate your Genjutsu. Use the time he's paralyzed for Haze Clone Jutsu.
>C. Throw your senbon, and place the wire in your mouth. Activate Haze Clone Jutsu, and then use Paralyzing Bells to hit him with a surprise attack.
>D. Write-in
hang on if we know he has all these crazy utility arrows, lets get close and stick an Explosive Tag on him, if not him his quiver/bow? detonate it and boom he's done.
>>44219401
>A. Throw the senbon in your hand to distract him as you grab your fuuma shuriken. Unfold it, and spin it as hard as you can. Maybe it can function as a makeshift shield?

>>44219411
The arrows are all normal: He uses Jutsu on them.
Of course if he has no arrows he has no arrows
>>44219401
>>C. Throw your senbon, and place the wire in your mouth. Activate Haze Clone Jutsu, and then use Paralyzing Bells to hit him with a surprise attack.

And by surprise attack, I mean stuffing an explosive tag as deep as we can in his quiver.
>C. Throw your senbon, and place the wire in your mouth. Activate Haze Clone Jutsu, and then use Paralyzing Bells to hit him with a surprise attack.
>>44219464
You don't have any explosive tags
>>44219401
>D. Write-in
False place so he thinks we're running at a slightly different angle then while he's trying to shoot the illusion, activate the genjutsu and throw poisoned senbon at him
>>44219401
>C. Throw your senbon, and place the wire in your mouth. Activate Haze Clone Jutsu, and then use Paralyzing Bells to hit him with a surprise attack.
>>44219464
that's pretty homo
>>44219477
Bollocks.
>>44219464
We cant blow it up but we can nick off with it
>>44219563
Good point. Probably not the whole quiver, but we can grab a big ol' handful of arrows.
Hey Mini, how effective would chucking arrows at him like oversized senbon be? I assume it wouldn't be effective at all, but I wanted to check to be sure.
Oh hey, I didn't miss it!
>>44219582
Probably be a better idea to break them all so he can't use them.

You pull the wire up and clench it between your teeth, rapidly forming through handsigns to reveal one of your newest jutsu. Your chakra flares sharply just before it activates, and the fine control that you have over this chakra empowers the jutsu further. All around you dozens of clones of yourself start to appear, each and every one looking happy and carefree.
They cast a number of shadows. Though they're not illusions, they're not wholly physical either. You'll have to pay chakra to sustain this jutsu for any length of time, but it's utility will benefit you greatly.
Usagi has his bow raised, and he appears to be rapidly flicking his eyes from clone to clone as they appear. Maybe he's trying to discern if they're real or not.
All of your clones begin to run towards him, and you join them while forming handseals. You take the wire from your mouth and stop running, pulling it taut and activating your second jutsu.
Arrows that explode in violent bursts of shrapnel penetrate your wall of clones, exploding rapidly in the mass. It stops shortly after though, as Usagi likely realizes that your clones cannot be destroyed.
This should give you just enough time for the jutsu to activate, before he realizes that they're not any threat, either.
You gently tug on the string, and through the roaring crowd and vibrating stadium, the note of a bell rings clearer than ever. Your clones part so that you can see Usagi. The chakra reinforced sound pierces the Stone Genin's ears, and he drops to a knee and clutches his head.
You hear him cry out. "Hng!? W-what's happening!? I can't move!"
>>44219662
>A. Unload. Throw as many kunai and shuriken as rapidly as you can at his position. This is the fastest but weakest attack, granted he'll still be caught in your Genjutsu afterwards.
>B. Pull back your wristband, and release the seal containing a senbon with the toxin in it. Use Shunshin to dash forward and stab him.
>C. Use Shunshin to sprint forward and try to grab his bow while attacking. If you succeed, he'll be without his weapon, and your jutsu will progress to the next stage.
>D. Write-in

Fuck the bow.
>>44219676
>C. Use Shunshin to sprint forward and try to grab his bow while attacking. If you succeed, he'll be without his weapon, and your jutsu will progress to the next stage.
>>44219662
>D. Pull out the Fuma Shuriken. Throw them both on strings and try to catch him between them. If he manages to dodge or block, yank them back towards you and ring the bells again in the same motion. That should give you an opening for something else.
>>44219676
>>B. Pull back your wristband, and release the seal containing a senbon with the toxin in it. Use Shunshin to dash forward and stab him.
I known we are blowing all are tricks but we need to win and this is how.
>>44219676
>D. Use Shunshin to sprint forward and try to break his bow with a fuuma shuriken.
>>44219676
>D. Write-in
Use shunshin to close the distance, then steal as many of his arrows as we can. It'll be easier than trying to get the bow out of his grasp.
>>44219676
>B. Pull back your wristband, and release the seal containing a senbon with the toxin in it. Use Shunshin to dash forward and stab him.

>>44219676
Grab his bow, he who dares, wins
We should try to hide the poison, so far it doesn't seem like we will need it and it is a pretty good trump card against our opponents who don't know about it.
>>44219711
>>44219730
Cool ideas, but Shounen logic tells me he'd probably be able to create new arrows with elemental releases...
>>44219747
>he who dares, wins
Takeshi's personal motto, right there.
>>44219676
>>C. Use Shunshin to sprint forward and try to grab his bow while attacking. If you succeed, he'll be without his weapon, and your jutsu will progress to the next stage.
Wouldn't be surprising if the guy has some sort of trick incase his bow is ever taken from him.
>>44219676
>B. Pull back your wristband, and release the seal containing a senbon with the toxin in it. Use Shunshin to dash forward and stab him.
Is it the super toxin or regular toxin?
>>44219688
>>44219721
>>44219736
>>44219740
>>44219784
Blowing our load this early. Take and break his bow. we're fast and have Shunshin.
>D. Write-in
ShunShin behind him, summon Hydro Sword and destroy his quiver and fucking beat the shit outta him
don't give him time to think
>>44219786
Oh, never mind then!
>>44219676
Could we just release the seal on our wrist and just fuck him up with all the sebon?
>>44219813
You can't shunshin behind him. Shunshin is a direct line from point A to point B.
>>44219813
This just cleave down his spine, cripple the fucker if we have to
>>44219766
By that logic he might be able to make a BOW out of chakra, too.
>>44219769
I'm mostly basing it on that's what Shikamaru said he saw in us, but yeah its a good thing and sometimes the only way to beat a superior opponent.
>>44219676
>C. Use Shunshin to sprint forward and try to grab his bow while attacking. If you succeed, he'll be without his weapon, and your jutsu will progress to the next stage.
>>44219823
There's only three generic poisoned ones in one, and one toxin poisoned one in the other
>>44219836
>cripple the fucker if we have to
Nah. Completely unnecessary.
This dude's a sniper, and a good one. He'll be a damn useful asset if we ever get the chance to work WITH him.
>>44219826
You can shunshin to right next to him though, which still gives a shot at his quiver. Which side depends on our handedness
>>44219676
>>C. Use Shunshin to sprint forward and try to grab his bow while attacking. If you succeed, he'll be without his weapon, and your jutsu will progress to the next stage.
Risk it!
>>44219857
Could we use the regular poison for option B.? Using the super Poison sounds like a bad idea.
>>44219826
so we can go almost behind him, like pic, he is an archer so good chance his bow is in his right hand therefore supporting himself on it and his left, with this we enter his blind spot and get a nice clean shot to slice his back/spine
