Shinobi Quest #3
This quest takes place within the lands of the Five Great Shinobi Nations (aka Narutoverse) starting roughly around the beginning of the original series. The world of this quest remains similar to the original, with slight but notable differences in certain areas, based upon the passage of time from a single slightly altered event.
(It’s a goddamn Naruto Quest, you bastards. Have fun, participate, and write in when you feel inclined. Most of the outcomes of this quest will be determined by you, the players. Critiques and questions are always welcome, as my knowledge of the weeby shit is not all encompassing.)

Last thread, our character Tsuki Norihime attempted some teambuilding with the other members of her newly-christened Team 7, stocked up on weapons and put in a custom order. From there, she made her way home, and spent some quality time with both her father and her “butler” and instructor,Danzo.
You wake from a dark, dreamless sleep. Your alarm chimes faintly in the distance- you peer outside your window, without rising from your large bed.
Still Dark. The morning twilight will be coming soon, with sunrise shortly after. You’re still a bit groggy, but not so much so that it impairs your judgement. Today is the day. Training.
You rise, slowly, shifting your thick blankets to one side. The equipment you bought yesterday is sitting on your desk, ready to be equipped for the day’s activities, with a rather plain genin uniform hanging nearby. You know from experience that many shinobi choose to dress outside of uniform, in their own signature style. Others choose to mainly stay uniform. There weren’t as many strict regulations on dress as you would’ve thought. However…
The reflection of your leaf headband catches your eye. This is what unites them all, and the only mandatory part of the uniform. This one was yours, and yours alone. You grin, filled with what Danzo would call “youthful energy”.
In a scramble, you begin to ready yourself, stretching, prepping your equipment and dressing yourself. You probably won’t have time for a full breakfast, but you’re sure Maru left something out for you. Grabbing the head protector, you tie it around the back on your head, under your hair, wearing it as a headband. Turning, you evaluate yourself in the mirror.
“A little drab, dull, drearily plain…”
The complaint comes from your mouth before you can catch it- oh well. Customizing your look can wait, you guess.
Giving yourself the final once over, and satisfied, you look outside. The sky was beginning to turn orange- dawn was near. Do you…?
1. Skip breakfast. You ate so much last night you could hardly eat a bite, anyway.
2. Stop by the kitchen to see if Maru left anything. You may not be hungry now, but it would be silly to not have a snack on hand.

Who else is hoping that in this reality Danzo is just a badass old man and Ebisu or whatever the fuck our sensei's name is, is actually cool? Because I am.Plz no Danzo, no root today
>>47392069
There is literally nothing wrong with Ebisu
You have time, right? Besides, who knows what kind of intense training you might go through today? Best to have a snack on hand. You exit your room, and take in your surroundings. Father’s door is shut- you’d be willing to wager he isn’t even in there. More often than not the man falls asleep in his chair whilst working- you honestly don’t remember the last time he actually slept in his bedroom. This strikes you as a bit odd now that you’re actively thinking about it, but you really don’t have the time to stand around and ponder your father’s sleeping habits.
Walking out of the hallway at a steady pace, you enter the main foyer. Hopping down the central staircase, you can hear noise coming from the kitchen. Surely Maru isn’t still awake?!
You creep up to the entrance of the kitchen, and peer inside. You are shocked with what you see inside- a veritable breakfast feast! Sure she doesn’t mean to feed you all of this! It does look good though…
You see a particularly scrumptious looking muffin, set to the side of the spread.
“Yes, this will do nicely. Is it blueberry, I wonder?....” you say under your breath. Maru’s confections were top notch- you simply needed to swipe it before the woman spots you.
Your first test.
Roll 1d100 to swipe the muffin!

You remember your training. You peer around the corner, noting Maru’s position relative to both you and the muffin.
As she turns and walks towards one of the cabinets, you make your move. Quickly now!
You take off, making a quick roll, and then stopping just short of the end of the table.
She hums a small tune as she cooks- meaning she hasn’t heard you. Good. Patiently you wait a few more minutes, making as little noise as possible, until she turns away a second time.
You strike!
It’s yours! With the soft blueberry deliciousness in your possession, you make to flee. She can’t possibly catch you now!
As you run out the kitchen door, out to the foyer, and then out to the front lawn, you hear Maru shriek. “Tsuki-dono! You must wait! A young heiress such as yourself mustn't practice on an empty stomach! Whatever will your father think?”
That, you aren’t sure of. You don’t think anyone really knows what the old man is thinking.
“Thank you Maru! I think this will be plenty!” you shout as you take off down the path towards the village.
You’ll probably hear it later- but it’s saved you precious time. Even if Maru didn’t stuff you full of food, she'd talk your ear off for more time than you have.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You’ve kept a brisk pace, nothing too strenuous. You’ve reached the town center, and with some time to spare, no less. With Maru’s muffin stowed in your pack, you aren’t worried about food for the time being, either. Should you head straight to the memorial? Or is there something else you wanted to do?
1. Head straight to the memorial. Best not to waste time.
2. There is somewhere I wanted to go…. (Where?)
heh.. drills
>>47392496
>1. Head straight to the memorial. Best not to waste time.
We don't waste time.
>>47392496

Destiny awaits! And the Norihime clan is nothing if not punctual
>>47392519
Ebisu will probably berate us for being late even if we get there early, anyway.
>>47392496
>Head straight to the memorial. Best not to waste time.
while it might not be a bad thing to be fashionably late for some parties this is probably not a case where you want to show up late.

You head straight for the memorial. You slow down a bit too- no need to tire yourself out before training starts.
You walk down the tree lined path, into the park where the ninja memorial rests. Erected to honor those fallen in service to the village, it’s commonplace to leave flowers or other tokens in front the shrine to pay respect to the fallen. You’ve been around it before, of course, but until now you’ve never bothered to look over it. You make a mental note to give it a once over, to see if there are any names you recognize.
As you arrive at the monument, you take a look around- you don’t see anyone, quite yet. To be fair, you are a little early.
Your team and your sensei will most likely be here soon. How do you wish to pass the time?
1. Your sensei is probably already here- try to find him.
2. Simply take a moment to say a prayer to the departed.
3. Read the monument, looking for anything interesting.
4. Wait, and do nothing.

You decide to take a moment to honor the departed. These shinobi gave their lives so that you may be here today- a sentiment Danzo echos from time to time.
“Everything, for the village.”
You send a prayer towards your mother as well. While she didn’t die in service to the village, you figure it would be rude not to include her. You hope that she will watch over you in the days ahead.
“Taking this moment to pay respects to your departed forebears, Tsuki-dono? Early, as well. Very good. Two lessons I won’t need to teach.” a evaluating voice says, from out of view.
You look up. A man stands nearby the monument- strange you didn’t see him before. Wearing a dark shirt and pants, with his forehead protector in a bandanna style, is a somewhat unremarkable man. Ebisu-sensei.
He pushes his dark sunglasses up slightly, then continues. “I’ll go over it more when your comrades arrive, but it is paramount that we honor those who came before. Most of us, myself included, owe our lives to them.”
He pauses for a moment, then looks up towards the rising sun. “You are familiar with Guy-sensei, I’m sure. We were on the same team, when we were young. His father sacrificed himself to save us from a foe we were not prepared to face. It’s not something either of us have forgotten. You’d never know it, talking to Guy, though.”
You hear footfalls down the path. Standing, you turn to see Hinata approaching, looking somewhat unsure of herself. Nori is nowhere in sight, although you figure she has a few more moments to arrive. What do you do?
1. Greet Hinata. She doesn’t seem quite as forward, without Nori here.
2. Respond to Ebisu-sensei. You hadn’t known about the story he just told.
3. Look for Nori. Where is that girl?
>>47393281
>Look for Nori. Where is that girl?
If we can't keep her in sight, we can't keep track of her pranks and such. Not good.
>>47393281

He'll probably repeat the story.
Also, glad to have read the archives first before joining this.
Got interested when I read the name Danzo in this thread. This is a much better quest than I thought it'd be when I saw it around the Catalog.

>he doesn’t seem quite as forward, without Nori here.
hinata confirmed for yuri with nori
>>47393474
I think that just means she isn't confident without other people.
>>47393495
We're here and she knows us.
>>47393529
She walked here alone, she probably hasn't seen us yet.
>>47393529
Yes but she doesn't knows us that much. Hinata just knows about our family. Let's build up that friendship first anyways.
>>47393539
a hyuuga not seeing seeing things is funny to me
“Morning, Hinata!” you say to the slightly lost looking Hyuuga. “Seen Nori anywhere?”
Hinata smiles back at you, though her expression flattens out a bit after a moment. “Morning to you too, Tsuki. Unfortunately no, I haven’t seen her. I can’t imagine she’d be late to the first day of training, but….”
You turn to Ebisu-sensei, realizing that he stopped telling his story. “Hinata, this is Ebisu-sensei. He was just telling me a bit about his past.”
“H-hello, Sensei. I’m sorry that I couldn’t bring Nori along with me….” she stammers, obivously growing worried about her friend’s tardiness.
“Nonsense, Hinata-dono,” Ebisu says warmly, though you cannot see his eyes behind those glasses he wears. “The honorable daughter of the Hokage is not your responsibility. After today however, she is mine.”
Was that… disappointment, in his voice?
“As it stands, I’ll finish my tale when she arrives. It’s something all of you should hear.”
You….
1. Take this moment to bemoan Nori. Mongrel should’ve been here earlier, she’s standing between you and and training!
2. Say nothing. Sensei likely knows of Nori’s temperament.
>>47393685
>2. Say nothing. Sensei likely knows of Nori’s temperament.

>>47393718

>>47393758
we are a lady, we never bad mouth anyone, we just point out there flaws and how can someone such as Nori ever better herself if she never hears about the many flaws she has?
>>47393819
exactly. We must strive to be above such pettiness.
You opt to take this time to reflect on Nori’s positive qualities.
After a few moments, it occurs to you she has none. Besides maybe her energy. Though even that seems to have failed her now. You suppose her brother got all the good genes from the Fourth, and she was what was left. A shame.
You wait a few more moments…. And then a few more.
You can see Ebisu-sensei tapping his finger on his arm- he’s growing impatient.
Finally, after an eternity, you see a mop of yellow hair emerge from the far end of the path. The girl barely looks awake.
Finally, she plods over to the three of you, and sits down.
“Yo.” She says, raising one hand.
“Finally crawled out of your brother’s shadow long enough to join us this morning, Uzumaki?” you say with barely restrained venom.
Hinata just looks downward, avoid anyone’s gaze.
“Now, now, Tsuki-dono. I’m sure the Fourth’s daughter has a good reason why she’s late to her first training session this morning.” Ebisu says, grinning with clenched teeth.
“Huh?” she looks up at him. “Name’s Nori, sensei. Keep calling me that, and I’ll tell everyone about your bath-peeping habits. And no, I just overslept. Life happens, you know?”
Ebisu stands there, slack-jawed. Nobody seems to know what to say.
“Mhmm- right.” Ebisu clears his throat, and addresses the three of you.
“Academy Graduates! I’ve brought the three of you together so that, along with myself, we can form a strong bond. A bond that will strengthen you, and serve you well in the days to come!”
He seems to have rehearsed this. More than once.
“Now, please introduce yourselves! And very quickly say why you wish to become Shinobi of the Leaf!”
Well, the cool facade he put forward earlier has cracked just a bit. Oh well. You…
1. Go along with his wishes, and introduce yourself.
2. Gently explain that you all know each other already, and that we can move past this
3. Let someone else go first. You’re curious as what the others have to say.
>>47394085
>1. Go along with his wishes, and introduce yourself.
>>47394085
>1. Go along with his wishes, and introduce yourself.
eh might as well, he should know what he's doing
>>47394085
>Go along with his wishes, and introduce yourself.
>>47394085
>1. Go along with his wishes, and introduce yourself.
We should be first after all.
>>47394085
>1. Go along with his wishes, and introduce yourself.
I guess its more for his sake
>>47394085
>1. Go along with his wishes, and introduce yourself.
Remind ourselves to try and hold our tongue. It is unbecoming (even if everything we think about Nori is undoubtedly true)
>>47394085
"We all know each other, but if you insist" then move on to introduction
Sticking with the plan.
Writing.
>Hinata's dream for the future is to fuck her friend's brother
You look towards your sensei sympathetically, and decide to follow his lead.
“I…” you pause a bit, to keep them waiting. “ am Tsuki Norihime, heiress to the Norihime fortune and prestige. Ohohoho!~”
After letting the dramatic moment pass, you crack open and follow with “My friends call me Tsuki-hime. You two can as well, if you’d like. Either way, I chose to become a shinobi like my mother, so I could protect this village, and my family.” You think of your Father, of Maru, of Danzo. These people were your family.
Hinata smiles at you. “That’s a good reason, Tsuki-hime. Your reason is a bit more selfless than mine. As heir to the Hyuuga clan, it is my duty to become a strong shinobi, to lead my clan. O-oh, and to protect the village, too.” she reports, just a little bit more sure of herself than earlier.
“You were supposed to say your name, Hinata.” Nori says passively, lying down on the grass. “Guess it’s my turn then. Nori Uzumaki. My father’s the Hokage. Didn’t have a choice.” she groans, then sits up. “Although, I would like to get stronger. Dad has all those cool stories from the war. Would be cool to be that tough.”
You sincere doubt Minato Uzumaki framed his stories that way, but you let it slide.
“Very good, you three.” Ebisu says, willfully ignoring the less desirable things Nori had said. “I know you three knew each other in the Academy, so thank you for humoring your sensei.”
“Now.” his tone becomes more serious, like before. “I asked you three to meet me here so that you can understand what it means to become a shinobi.” He gestures to the monument, then continues. “As I was telling Tsuki here before, many shinobi have given their lives so that the four of us may stand here today. Our world is a cruel one, and only through trusting one another and building strong bonds may we continue to protect the future of our village.”
“And, we’re gonna stronger too, right sensei?” Nori interrupts, clearly bored of Ebisu’s sentimental speech.
“Yes, Nori. All of you were entrusted to me because, while you excel in many aspects, each of you has a particular weakness that must be strengthened. This is not a bad thing, as I am one of the most respected teachers in Konoha. I will be happy to teach our village’s next generation of leaders.
There it is. Like you suspected, the three of you were passed along as glorified babysitting duty.
“Now, before we move on to the test I have planned for the three of you, do you have any questions?”
You…
1. Want to ask him in more detail about what he mentioned earlier, about him and Guy-sensei.
2. Want to know more about him in general
3. Want to know something else. (What?)
4. Don’t have any questions.

If some one doesn't come along and do a Jiriya I would be surprised. The only dad I can see being happy with their daughter being coddled is Tsuki's.
>>47394909

>>47394909
Might as well merge into the more prestigious clan.sue me
>>47394980
Whats our clan good at ninja wise?
We got any special shit going on? Maybe not a kekkai genkai but some type of jutsu or weapon mastery?
>>47394954
but is she a demon in the sack?
>>47394980
Taking the surname of your wife is a perfectly normal thingnow get in the robot
>>47395040
we don't know. Our dads a successful businessman and our mum (who was a Ninja) is dead.
>>47394980
>>47394954
>>47394964
I just did some googling. It is common in cases of family businesses and stuff. So i guess the prestigious clan name is pretty similar.Lee is gonna take our name too, ain't he?
>>47395050
>but is she a demon in the sack?
Minato has had to use Flying Thunder God to escape her when she would not quit. Uzumakis had endurance for WEEKS.
>>47395074
Lee is still a loser I honestly don't think Tsuki is in anyway attracted to him, and quite frankly its pissing me off.When he turns into a Taijutsu badass on the other hand.
>>47395040
I hope it's money-based. Like we summon a gold cat statue to crush our enemies or turn our drills into sharp weapons.
>>47395118
Oh no. Tsuki thinks nothing of him now. Clearly. He is far beneath her, and has no grooming habits.
>>47395120
these would probably just be standard ninjutsu techniques. nothing special.
>>47395118

wouldn't it be Norihime Lee? Japanese naming conventions and all that.
“Well, I was curious if you’d tell us more about what you mentioned before. About you and Guy-sensei.” you start. “Or, if you’d like, you can tell about whatever mop-head over there was talking about. Surely our honorable sensei isn’t some kind of pervert? Ohohohoho!~
“I most assuredly have no idea what Nori is talking about-” he starts, with Nori’s laughter pairing with yours to nearly overpower him. “HOWEVER.” he asserts “I will explain in more detail the story I was tell Tsuki earlier.”
“When I was a young man, not much older than you three, the Leaf was embroiled in the Third Shinobi World War. Lord Third was Hokage then, and due to the scale of the conflict, even genin squads like ours had to take on missions that were more dangerous than they would normally be. Our sensei was Choza, young Choji’s father. He was called away elsewhere, and we were given a scouting mission vital to the war effort. Between Guy, Genma, and myself, it shouldn’t have been an issue.”
“But then, we ran into those men. The Seven Swordsman of the Mist.”
That was a name you recognized. Elite warriors from Kirigakure, wielding very powerful weapons. Some of the most powerful shinobi that village had to offer.
“We would’ve died that day, had it not been for Guy’s father, Duy. He had been tailing us, concerned for our safety. Needless to say, he came to our rescue. He tapped into an amazing strength, and fought all seven of them at once. He didn’t survive, but he took most of their number with him. The three of us all survived, the experience burned into our minds. While I have no intention to put you in such danger, the possibility exists. Such is the life of a shinobi.
The mood has become a bit somber, although Nori looks inquisitive.
“What justsu did he use? To take on such powerful shinobi by himself?”
“He opened what is called The Eighth Gate” he answers. “It grants you amazing strength and ability. However, in the end, the jutsu itself kills you.”
Nori frowns.
“Well, that’s no good. I want to be strong, but I’m not ready to die just yet.”
“That’s good. Always be prepared to sacrifice for the village, but don’t go looking for it. Our world is dangerous enough as it is.” Ebisu concludes, done with this point of conversation.
“Anything else?”
1. Nothing Else, on to his test.
2. Confront Ebisu about being a glorified babysitter
3. Hammer home on this pervert thing. There’s something he’s hiding.
>>47395346
Im pretty sure the translated stuff switches the ordering around to fit English standard, Lee is his family name and rock his given name no matter whether it's Rock Lee in English or Lee Rock in Japanese

To work!

>>47395399
Not really. A lot of the translators leave it the Asian way of Family Given naming conventions.
>>47395399
Shit never mind looks like he's one of the few places where they DON'T do that, for some reason
>>47395381

complainig can wait until after the test
>>47395416
it lacks drillsmaybe Tsuki's mom?
>>47395399
No I checked. He's called Rokku Ri in Japan. So in english he would be Lee Rock. But that sound shit compared to Rock Lee.
>>47395381
>1. Nothing Else, on to his test.
>>47395460
His son's name is Metal Lee though, that's how we know it's his last name
>>47395429
A lot do, but for naruto at least the official translation does frequently switch it around. Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura Haruno, Kakashi Hatake.
>>47395082
"Glad you made it home honey. I have a mission just for you!", giggled Kushina.
"Aren't I supposed to give out the missions?", Minato said playfully, as he went in to kiss his wife hello.
"Well it is of vital importance. It might take you all night." Kushina said coyly. "But don't worry, it is ranked D" She winks and makes her way to the bedroom.
The color drains from Minato's face. He flashes through the hand signs and quickly summons a small messenger toad. The toad knows the drill, he has the speech memorized. He darts off in the direction of the hospital and the medical nin that should begin to prep for the Hokage's arrival.
"Naruto. How about you and Nori to Ichiraku. My treat." He smiles weakly as he presses some money into his son's hands. Then how about you grab some books and stay at uncle Kakashi's for the night?" He ruffles his son's hair, and kisses his daughter's forehead. "I'll see you both in the morning."
Minato steels himself and makes that bitter sweet journey down the hall, pulling a half dozen soldier pills from a pouch as he does."God I hope Kurama doesn't talk this time...."
>>47395492
huh. So he is.
>>47395492
We know it's his last name because it comes second. We know it's his FAMILY name because his kid has it. PEDANTRY (actually mixing up the two terms in this sort of conversation can be extremely confusing i don't feel bad about this at all)
>>47395381
>2. Confront Ebisu about being a glorified babysitter
>>47395552
Oh god that spoiler. Poor Minatopity she's dead.
On to the test then! Progress!
Writing
>>47395554
Of course that just leads to instead of "for some reason they didn't switch rock Lee's name around in English" we have "for some reason rock Lee's name goes given family and also everyone calls him by his family name"
>>47395734
it would ruin the Bruce Lee esque style name
>>47395734
You know I'm standing by Rock being the last name. And that Lee's kid should be Rock something. And the only reason its Metal Lee is >>47395765.
>>47395840
>I'm standing by Rock being the last name.
It comes first though
>>47395840
Additionaly from know on Rock Lee's son shall be known as Rock Ken.
>>47395911
So does Uzamaki, Uchiha, Senju, Hyuuga, etc.
>>47395940
Also first names.

“Very well.”
“I present to you these two bells.”
As he says this, he produces two bells from his pocket. “Other sensei may threaten to fail you if you don’t pass this test of mine- I have no such to hold over your head.”
You chuckle. At least he’s honest about it.
He rings the bells. “Take these bells from me. Until you do, we will not progress.”
Surely he doesn’t mean…
“I have nothing else to do today, or tomorrow, or any other day. We can stay here as long as we need.” he says, smiling now. It’s a wicked smile, one you hadn’t seen on the man as of yet.
He rings the bells again.
“I warn you, I’m no pushover. Just because you may have heard some nasty rumors about me doesn’t mean I didn’t earn my position.”
“But sensei, there are only two bells, and three of us!” Hinata speaks up, for the first time in a while.
“Correct.”
“B-but..” she starts again, clearly frustrated by this forced competition.
“Of the three of you, the one that does not retrieve a bell….. Will be “punished”.” he says with a smile. “Of course, that implies you’ll be able to collect them at all.”
“Begin!”
What to do? Ebisu sensei stands apart from the rest of the group, having readied himself in a stance. The bells ring again. Meanwhile, Hinata looks at you, and the to Nori, who is still sitting down.
1. Rush Ebisu. He can’t take you all at once!
2. Stand back and observe
3. Tell Hinata to do something (What?)
4. Tell Nori to do something (What?)
5. Do something yourself. (What?)

>>47396112
>3. Tell Nori to charge in.
>4. Tell Hinata to wait for your signal.
>5. Stay back. Wait. Start quietly, as subtly as possible, gathering chakra to lock Ebisu in a genjutsu. It won't last long on a jonin, but while he's breaking out of it you, Hinata, or Nori can snag a bell.

Don't tell her to do anything.
Just bet her you get yours first.
Then sit back and observe for weaknesses with Hinata. Once Nori gets her but whooped, move in with hinata to exploit any weaknesses we perceive.

So, Wargle, how's combat gonna work? We're gonna choose the jutsu we use, right? If so, what do we actually have, now? Because we know nothing of our actual skills besides numbers.
By the by, everyone trying to act like supersmart edgy badasses, geez, wait a while. We're straight out of the academy, here.
>>47396201
Yeah I got that smart-arse.
>>47396190
You don't really know any Genjutsu anon. You have apptitude for it, but it isn't part of the standard academy curriculum.
You can definitely ask Danzo to teach you some though :^)
>>47396258
I forgot to mention that I threw your academy Justsu under "known Jutsu" in the pastebin, my bad.
Meanwhile, standing back and observing.
Writing.
“Enough of this” Nori stands up, and takes a minute to loosen up.
“You may not be a pushover, but my father is Hokage. Let’s dance, pervert-sensei” Nori’s still smiling, but you can tell she means business.
Immediately she’s off, rushing towards Ebisu.
The bells ring again.
You see Nori swinging wildly, with Ebisu effortlessly dodging every strike. With every missed hit, Nori growls, working herself further and further into some sort of frenzy.
Hinata stands nearby, watching.
You turn your vision back to Ebisu and Nori, only…
Everything seems very out of focus. You’re also becoming very tired….
1.Try and wake up!

Looking forward to attacking nori to "get her out of the genjutsu" because we "didn't know if the genjutsu would keep her from hearing us if we told her"
Pain gets you out of genjustsu

Your mind slows- you really shouldn’t be this tired…
Wait. Those bells… this has to be Genjutsu!
You struggle mentally against it….

Post # nigga.
You reach down deep within yourself….SUCCESS DC:70
You are Tsuki Norihime! This petty genjutsu isn’t going to beat you! Not now!
With a surge of chakra, you shatter the Genjutsu.
You’re lying on the grass….
You sit up. You see Hinata slumped over on the grass, with Nori not too far off, closer to where you can see Ebisu standing.
“Welcome to the world of the living, Tsuki-dono.” he says with a smile. “I shouldn’t be surprised you’re the one to break out first. Go ahead and wake up your teammates, and we can continue.
You stand, slowly at first. You walk over to Hinata, and rouse her from her Genjutsu-influenced sleep. It doesn’t take much- you figure she was close on her own. Next, Nori. You try to rouse her, but she seems entirely out of it. You doubt she’ll be able to break out of it on her own. Do you…
1. Have Ebisu-sensei break the genjutsu.
2. You know pain can break the jutsu. Might as well give it a try….
3. Have confidence in Nori.

>>47397622
>2. You know pain can break the jutsu. Might as well give it a try….
CUNT PUNT!
You may not have another chance to do this….
Might as well take the opportunity.
You wind back, and prepare to backhand her across her stupid uncultured face.
You strike with lightning speed and precision! You practically hear the wind whistling behind your hand as it strikes her face…. Except her face doesn’t move. At least not very much. With how hard you hit her, she should be reeling.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SneJOp9yzjI
An eye flicks open. It’s red, with a pupil like that of a cat… or a fox.
“Princess. What do you think you’re doing?” Nori asks, her voice an octave deeper than you remember.
“Uhm, breaking you out of the genjutsu…?” You respond, raising your hands, playing the act of the innocent.
“Sure. Thanks.” She tosses you to the side, and looks straight on at Ebisu. “Pretty clever, pervert. No telling what you did to us while we were asleep, right? Well, I’ll just have to beat it out of you”
She cracks her knuckles, and smiles. Her canines look like fangs, although you’re sure your eyes are deceiving you.
Ebisu doesn’t say anything.
“Not even going to defend yourself, pervert? Fine! Your confession will be borne through pain!”
With a surge of chakra, Nori charges at Ebisu-sensei.
You….
1. Call out to Nori. He didn’t do anything!
2. Get between Ebisu and Nori
3. Watch.

I wouldn't say we abhor her. She's just annoying. And she's obviously not full kyuubi, she's got Minato, mcsealy master man himself, as her dad, so I don't think it'll be a huge problem.
>>47398160
WE don't like her, and we're putting our neck out for her possibly putting our self at great risk

We're not heartless, m8. We're just stuck-up. And I'm pretty sure we didn't intend to smack her only to end up with her getting super mad at Ebisu. Eh, whatever, let's just see how it plays out. We're not gonna die or anything, she's not gonna break us.

You think Ebisu should be able to handle Nori’s…..
Whatever it is she’s doing. Although, now would be the perfect time to try something a bit more devious….
You dash out towards the two of them, to try and run interference. However, you quickly realize they are outpacing you pretty steadily. You wait, and watch for an opening.
Nori seems to just be swinging at Ebisu like a wild animal, not focusing on precise swings or any sort of taijutsu style you’ve seen or heard of. To his credit though, he dodges them. Every swing she makes, he manages to stay just out of her reach. He’s not even fighting back.
As this continues, you see the opening. She’s entirely focused on him right now- if you got her to focus on you, it would take some of the pressure off of him. Pulling your new war fan from your pack, you take a moment to aim. You really haven’t got much time to practice with it, so your aim is a bit off. Instead of hitting her in the back of the head, it hits her arm.
It still produces the desired effect, however.
“Heh, you want some too, princess? I’ll show you what I’ve got!” Nori roars. You’ve got her attention now…
As she charges you, you quickly throw up the signs for a Body Replacement Jutsu. It’s about all the time you have. As she strikes your image, which poofs into a cloud containing your pack. Rest in piece, muffin. You’ll just have to get another.
Whilst preoccupied with your image, you use the moment to spin around behind her, standing in-between her and Ebisu-sensei. She turns, and charges you again. This will hurt, but you’re ready. As Ebisu runs to push you out of the way, you purposely twist your body to be in the way of the strike. At the same time, you move your hand down to his belt, where the bells lie.
She hits you, square in the stomach. You feel all the air expel from you lungs in that single strike. Gods above, you weren’t meant for this physical work. Why did you think this was a good idea?
The force of the blow carries you a few feet, and you skid on the grass as you tumble. As your body rests, you hear Nori yell.
“Stay down princess! You’re too fragile to contend with likes of me!”
Trick is on her, though. She turns to Ebisu, who is only several inches from her face, his dark shades no longer on his face. Genjutsu again, you theorise. He isn’t physically strong or imposing, but then again, neither are you. As she tries to avert her gaze, Ebisu uses his arms to hold her in place, the Genjutsu already beginning to take effect. She stands there, paralyzed. Eventually, the intense aura around her drops, and she collapses.
(More Inc.)
>>47398611
>All according to the Keikaku
You hurt. A lot. Uncouth barbarian hits like an explosive tag….
Hinata runs over to you, and you smile. As she helps you up, you slip her a bell. At once, she understands, and returns the smile.
“Are you alright, Tsuki-dono!?” Ebisu calls out to you, as he gathers up Nori.
“More than fine, sensei.” You and Hinata beam brightly as you both hold up a bell.
Ebisu is flabbergasted. “When..?!” All at once, he understands.
And he begins to laugh. “Clever! Clever indeed, Tsuki Norihime!”
“I would recommend not putting yourself so directly in harm’s way next time, but I certainly cannot doubt it’s effectiveness. Very well. You and Hinata are cleared for today. I believe this young lady’s punishment will be a personal visit to her father…”
You cannot imagine that will be a pleasant conversation.
You…
