Shinobi Quest #22
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, Tsuki Norihime met her interim instructor and underwent some extensive training. Her sensei should be returning soon, and both her teammates and herself are waiting….
Two months. For two months, you and your teammates had worked hard, doing your best to improve yourselves- the chunin exams were imminent. In a little over a month, it would be time to begin the examinations. You had seen little of your potential competition from Konoha- many of them had been out on some mission or another- and while your team and been upkeeping their fair share of D-ranked missions in Itachi-sensei’s absence, you know many of your fellow Genin teams had progressed to undertaking regular C-ranked missions. While you HAD undertaken a single joint mission with Team Guy, it hardly seemed to count with two Jonin present.
You only hope you have the chance to prove yourselves in the upcoming weeks- you will not tolerate falling behind!
------------------------------
It’s afternoon when Itachi-sensei comes calling; you know he probably had to report to the Fourth, but really, must he keep a lady such as yourself waiting? He must know better than that, surely.
Your outfit is pristine- your hair, perfect. It would simply not do to not look your best to meet him after all this time.
You sneak down into the foyer- there he is, waiting. How should you greet him?
1. Casually. No need for fanfare or ceremony.
2. Respectfully. Only appropriate for your sensei.
3. With affection. You missed him!
4. With a bit of attitude. He kept you waiting! He deserves it.

What is her dream world?
>>48215221
Nori. In a poofy pretty princess dress at a tea-party with hinata, an affectionate and well-dressed itachi, and tsuki herself in a queenly outfit.
if you mean torture-wise?
infinite head-pokes
>>48215221
Average day to day life, Just normal stuff, No one important to her dying.

>>48215339
Bad anon!
Oh hey! First time catching the thread! Awesome!Alright so this has been bugging me for a while, people talk about summons, but keep saying tsuki needs to find a scroll. From what I remember, that isn't COMPLETELY true, just the normal way, there's a more dangerous method where you perform the summoning contract without a scroll, and get reverse-summoned to the home of the summon family most suited to you, and depending on how they test you and what they think of you, they give you a scroll allowing you to summon a number of their familyJiraiya did this, and wound up at mount myoboku, where he gained the "Noble" toad contract, allowing him to summon any of the toads, he then came back, told orochimaru and tsunade, and they did the same thingDid nobody else mention this or did I just skip over it while reading the archives?
>>48215352
You can't prove anything.
“Itachi-sensei! I’m glad you’re back!” you say from the top of the stairs, announcing your presence. You walk down the stairs slowly, making sure to keep composed.
You catch his eyes, and he smiles.
“Tsuki. Sorry I kept you waiting- both Jiraiya and I spent longer than either of us thought informing the Fourth of every minutiae of our trip.”
Jiraiya. Looks like you’ll be skipping the bathhouse this week…
“Nonsense, sensei! I’m just happy you’ve returned safely.” you respond, stepping off the stairs onto the main floor. You cast your gaze quickly around the room- Danzo is in the basement, as he always is when people visit. Maru announced Itachi’s visit, but is nowhere to be seen, and Father is, as always, in his study.
“You shouldn’t worry so much, Tsuki. I don’t want you to be worrying about me- otherwise, I’m not doing my job as your sensei!” he chuckles.
Idiot.
“Don’t tell a lady she can’t worry, Mr. Uchiha. That will only make her worry more.” you pout.
He just laughs, although his posture is conciliatory.
“I trust your training under Anko went well?” he finally asks.
It…
1. Went well. (Withhold that you didn’t spend all that much time with her)
2. Went well, even if you weren’t with her all that much.
3. Was somewhat boring without his instruction.
4. Went poorly.

Let's not give off anything, Itachi's smart.

Coming clean about Anko.

>>48215373
well that's potentially useful, I had no idea.
Also, first thread I've managed to catch as well, here's hoping it'sstellar

>>48215682
Question answeredI wouldn't say the chance of getting more is 0%, but don't keep your breath
>>48215742
I'd also like to remind you that Tsuki is nowhere near legal in any modern state
>>48215772
Not YET.
Also ninja village, legal age is a much different thing.
>>48215772
old enough to kill, old enough tohold hands
>>48215751I know. I don't actually care. If I want actual smut, I'll just look up porn.

>>48215793
this
>>48215805
and this dude speaks reason
“Training went well enough….. Although, I didn’t really spend all that much time with Anko, I admit. The time I did spend with her was educational, though. You made a good choice.” you answer.
“I never expected you to spend the whole eight weeks with her, but I’m glad my choice has your approval!” he laughs. “How did the others take it?”
“Well, I never really saw Nori, to be honest. We met up for missions, of course, but she had her own training regimen that she was following. Hinata seemed to take to her quickly, though. Even learned how to summon snakes!” you answer.
“I figured one of you three might take her up on the summoning contract. I thought it would be you, though, so I suppose your sensei was wrong this time.” he chuckles.
“I didn’t turn her down outright, but I don’t like to limit my choices, sensei. Although it’s nice to hear you’re thinking about me…” you say, not trying particularly hard to hide your smug grin.
From somewhere in the house, you hear a cough.
…...where did that come from?
“By the way, Tsuki, I’ll tell you since I’m here. Nori already knows, since she was with her Father, but I’ve taken a mission for us.” Itachi says, getting back to business.
“...a mission? Already? I’m not complaining, but shouldn’t you rest up a bit?” you say with concern.
“I’ll be just fine, Tsuki. Besides…. I want to see how much you’ve grown.” he says with a confident smile.
Feh, this idiot. He knows how to press your buttons, all right…
“Fine, fine. What’s the rank of this mission? C again?” you inquire.
“B-rank. We’ll be heading to the Land of Wind- make sure to pack some comfy clothes! Oh, and I hope you don’t mind sand.” he says somewhat casually.
“.....B-rank? Are you sure?”
You’re actually a little worried….
“We’ll be fine. Remember what I said? Don’t worry. Now, I need to get going and tell Hinata before the night is up. Do us all a favor and pack light- we won’t have Guy and Lee to carry our things, this time.” he says, before bidding you good night.
You see him out, but you’re still a bit in shock- a B-rank mission? I guess you’ll get to prove yourself after all……
You…

/v/ pls go and stay go.
First thing’s first- you go hunt down Danzo.
He’s in his room… although you could’ve swore it was him who coughed…
You quickly brief him on your new mission and destination.
“The Land of Wind… hmm. Pack light. Don’t wear dark clothing, and make sure you have water on hand. Wear some goggles, if you have them. The sand will get into almost anything if you let it. As for the shinobi of Sunagakure… avoid them if possible. The are a bitter and untrustworthy lot, even if the Fourth has sent them diplomatic overtures.” he advises, drinking deeply of his nightly tea.
Nodding, you bid Danzo goodnight, and head upstairs to talk to Father.
You find him hard at work, as usual, though he is quick to acknowledge your presence.
“Heading out again, my dear? Be safe! Those deserts are sweltering, and exhaustion is as big as a danger as anything else. I’ll have Maru prepare you some dried foods to keep your spirits up! As for the people of that country…. I haven’t had much dealing with them. The sand gets into the machinery, rendering it useless- as such they aren’t frequent customers. Let me know if you find anything interesting!” Father exclaims with his usual enthusiasm.
With that out of the way, you have some things to consider.
Do you have something wish to ask either of these men? (On Topic)
1. Yes. >Write-in

better take sand proof panties.
On topic, puppets are machinery right? And they work in the desert.
Without advocating puppetery, if we say "liberate" a puppet from the sand, that's a good start for retro engineering.
>>48216679
>>48216732
Holy shit yes.
>>48216785
We Fremen nao.
>>48216679
>1. Yes. >Write-in
Father is there anyone here besides you, me, danzo and Maru....>Ominous cough is ominous
>>48216794
that might actually very well help with a few things but i doubt we'd manage it.
>>48216801
It's Jiraiya. He finds it hilarious that one of Itachi's students is crushing on him.
>>48216794
>On topic, puppets are machinery right?
They aren't
>>48216794
Lets do our best to do this, anything to make the leaf stronger
Sounds like it's time for some SCIENCE.
Writing.
>>48216885
Lets craft some sealed sun goggles...no reflective surfaces...Itachi needs a set too
>>48216794
I like the idea of puppeting, I think it's really versatile and being able to make chakra strings seems pretty useful.
>>48216910
no, if you put sharingan behing glasses the dumbass coefficient is decupled
>>48216937
Lets lie in wait fellow puppetfag when the time comes to decide if we want to we'll all vote
>>48216910
Sealed sun goggles with no reflective surfaces that also are attached to a breathing mask to filter out the air?
>>48216944
...Itachi is soo good all he has to do is point or look at you I believe was said in canon
>>48216937
If we do, we'll need to use it only in our normal persona, not our ROOT one. It does synergize well with our genius specialty though. Maybe wait till chunin until we start?
>>48216937
I don't like it because we're already doing some other things and it's a specialisation demanding a lot of investment but I like that their mechanisms are (relatively) simple but work with the chackra strings.
If we want to achieve fixed results in some gizmos we could use chakra conducting metal to emulate chakra strings with a lesser liberty on control but requiring less concentration.
Essentially, fuck sevromotors, just telekinesic that shit with chakra without thinking too much about how since you just dump chackra into the plug of the gadget.
>>48217028
I LIKE the idea, but I think it should wait until chunin at least. Possibly jounin.
>>48217028
So what you're saying is
We need to invent bluetooth puppets....that would actually be really fucking good,
>>48216937
>puppets
>versatile
They aren't
>>48216960
You were told to piss off and given good reasons why puppets were a bad idea.
>>48217028
It requires more than "a lot", it requires years, even using chakra strings takes forever to learn.
>>48216962
indeed....lets make a starlord mask...we can hide it under an anbu style mask nicly too.
side note: beylod the grapple launcher. has two wire rolls and hooks provided by a chakra spin powered lock so you can swing around like a boss.
>>48217082
The only reasons people ever gave were
>You just want to be even more of a special snowflake
>They take forever to get good at
The first one doesn't even count as an arguement and the second one is a moot point because everyone already knows and understands that
>>48217125
Puppets are lame famalam.
>>48217125
Most people were saying that they can't stand up to high-end combat, and while that's true in the anime, this is a quest. Which changes a lot.
Also: We are a fucking GENIUS. Sasori ain't got shit on our mechanisms. If we go puppet route, that shit is going to turn into a remote-control steampunk golem pretty fast.
>>48217125
They're also incredibly specialized on top of being difficult to learn.
There's no min maxing here famalam, you either go all in on puppets or suck shit at them.
Also the only justification people had for them was "They're different" which is 10000 times worse then someone saying special snowflake.
“Father, I was wondering… might you assist me with something? I’d like to brainstorm some ideas for making the desert more… hospitable.” you ask.
“Hmm? Sure, dear. I wasn’t making much headway with this, anyway. He stands up, and crumples the paper he was working on, throwing it into the fireplace.
He takes a seat across from you, leaning on his knees.
“Now, what did you have in mind, my darling daughter?”

Starlord mask is a go, naturally stick an ANBU style on over the top to hide what it is. Make sure it seals to the face, no poison or sun glare for us thank you
>>48217215
>>48217225
>>48217240
Eh. Could be better but norihime genius makes that an 83. Not bad.
>>48217125
>>48217146
lets actually git gud at what we have on our plate (bow, swords, fan, stellar jutsu, and possible summon) before going onto the gadgets.
Norihime Puppetry can take place in the post-chunin exam arcwhen Danzo directly recruits us into ROOT
>>48217271
See, I can agree with that.
>>48217195
>Triplepost
You know that's a meme right? It's a common complaint that sore losers throw around whenever the first three rolls are low and around the same value.
You know, which barely fucking happens.

>The reason we wanted to get into them is because we are speced for them and the genius perk only makes this an even better route to go
Except we aren't? Being a genius doesn't translate to "magically good at puppets"
What ever you guys fucking think to justify it though.
People, cool it with the puppets and whatnot. We're already spreading Tsuki too thin here. We can't master everything.
>>48217285
>>48217288
Quit rolling too quickly!
>>48217271
How about this
Normal Tsuki: Swords, Stellar, and Summon
Root Tsuki: Puppets, Fire/lightning jutsu
>>48217290
Except for the fact that Wargle told us that we were actually pretty well built for it
>>48217290
We're specced for primarily distance combat, which the puppet would help keep our enemies from melee'ing us, and our genius perk makes us better at inventing things, which would apply directly to upgrading the puppet.
>>48217082
We're a goddamn genius anon!
Rolled 13 (1d100)
>>48217302
random thought on puppetry and clones... could we just make a chakra powered gizmo suit and stuff a shadow clone inside to pilot it? that way we don't have to fuck with chakra strings and any mechanisms (senbon smg etc) on the suit can be activated via the clone.
Norihime Genius: +20 to rolls dedicated towards inventions, creation of new techniques, or adaptations of previously existing techniques or technology. You also love to plan and design things, be it machinery or architecture. Instantly able to identify Norihime inventions. Adds +.0.5 to intelligence.
Straight from the pastebin.
>>48217349
That's a much bigger chakra drain though
>>48217349
Clones are really easy to destroy plus the clone won't be able to do any jutsu since its trapped inside and would just destroy the suit
>Switch up the rolls for once to reduce salt
>get more salt
Aye, aye. 83 w/ bonus is a nice roll, writing.
Also cool it with the puppet wars till post thread you dorks
>>48217290
Hey anon, we can be magically good at puppets because we're magic ninjas.
>>48217325
Tell me three things that justify puppets over other forms of ranged combat.
3
>>48217405
Isn't that 93? Due to >>48217215 being roll 2?
And switching up roll methods is a great way to get salt.
>>48217372
but would it be easier to learn/ do? also another random question is if we can bodyswap with the pilot clone into the gizmo suit if an enemy decides to use the 'geek the mage" strategy on Tsuki.
>>48217405
93, even. Cannot read my own posts, now.
>>48217405
See
>>48217283
It's not a real thing. It's just bitching.
>>48217409
>>48217415
>>48217427
Guys, keep the puppet wars till we're done with the story.
>>48217415
>We are physically weaker, and puppets rely less on that.
>We are a fucking genious and can invent very powerful puppets that can hold multiple weapons
>Puppets allow for a wider variety of tactics.
>>48217464
Fine.
>>48217475
>genious
Typing while tired brings shame to my family.
>>48217415
>1. Limited to our imagination, we can make it do almost anything making it very versatile
>2. Even if its broke we can still use it, Kankuro does this all the time by just moving the head
>3. It can be used in both close and ranged
>>48217464
This is it for me
>>48217349
>>48217322
>>48217271
>>48217475
I'm totally down for this, but actually when we become ROOT Tsuki in quest.
We are not root Tsuki right now in the quest.
Let's address the story at hand, stick to the present goals, and train what we need to master at the moment. IC we're like 11, we can learn puppetry later and Wargle will most likely present the opportunity some threads down the line.
>>48217501
Agreed. At BARE MINIMUM we should hold off till after the chunin exams, and in the mean time focus on git gud'ing what we already have practice in. MAYBE try the reverse-summons thing that one anon mentioned earlier.
Speaking of which, what summons do you guys think would fit tsuki most? Not gonna lie, hoping we get kickass warrior rabbits.
>>48217475
1. Can be fixed in the same amount of time, or quicker as learning puppets.
2. We can invent non gimmicky useful weaponry instead of the biggest gimmick in the narutoverse.
3.No they fucking don't, the only ones with "variety" are corpse puppets that are made and used exclusively by one person.
Also literally the absurd amount of ninjutsu and genjutsu is vetter for variety.
You have no ground to stand puppetfag, go back to your hole
>>48217283
Aye. Assuming the dice are based on time, they would use the server clock which would be measuring to the millisecond. Nearly impossible for 3 posts to hit it at the exact same time.
>>48217544
quit. the. fucking. puppet. talk.
Besides it's not like a fucking bow and arrow is a high tier combat weapon in the anime. It's basically use ninjutsu like a wizard or die.
>>48217497
1. Same goes for other techniques, literally listed in the genius perk.
2. Utterly pointless, if you the puppeteer are fucking compromised or in close quarters your puppet is useless.
3. They factually cannot be unless you're Sasori.
hint,we'll never be fucking sasori
>>48217535
Octopi would be pretty good
>>48217544
>>48217580
Puppet love or hate time is over for now anon. Stop wasting post.
>>48217501
yeah, puppets when we go ROOT is good, mostly i just want some form of tech in Tsuki's fighting style otherwise it feels like we're wasting a trait (norihime genius) and character connection (yoru)
>>48217535
No lie? I think some type of feline summon would suit our catty af protagonist.
>>48217577
>implying I care about the bow
anon
>>48217535
From the current choices of rabbits, Seiryu, Genbu, Byakko, Suzaku or the snakes, I'd prefer anything but snakes.
Snakes aren't bad. I just don't find them as interesting as the others.
Plus I really like Suzaku, since the five colors of the Fenghuang match Confucious' 5 Virtues. And those describe Tsuki alright.
...You know, instead of puppets, we could make clockwork golems with pre-programmed instructions powered by stellar chakra.
>>48217598
Big cats are pretty cool.
>>48217614
plus suzaku's a phoenix right? pretty complementary to our stellar release.
>>48217614
The 4 direction beasts/deities are really fucking cool
>>48217633
Thats more of a grunt or tool we summon rather then a style of fighting
>>48217633
only if we work out a way to make something like a reactor core out of the stuff, right now... stellar chakra doesn't seem to stick around, still something to consider.
>>48217598
I've seen cats done to often for it to be a favorite, but I will admit it IS fitting. Then again, so would
1: A motherfucking pheonix clan
2: A motherfucking dragon clan
Really i'd be fine with any of the four beasts except the tortoisesnake, and thata's mainly because I don't think he fits our personality.
>>48217642
Yes he is. Though I do like the idea of summoning a fuck-huge turtle.
>>48217646
I know right?
>>48217614
>Seiryu, Genbu, Byakko, Suzaku
Can you translate that for the non-weebs?
FINAL SCORE: 93!
You have a couple ideas, although some of them would requires more time than you have. The sealed bodysuits have promise, but would require some specialized materials that you don’t have immediate access to.
These masks, though…
Non-reflective tinted glass lenses, finely grated mouthpiece, optional rebreather… this can be done. Besides, ANBU uses masks- Danzo should have some spares laying around, right? They may be ROOT masks, but that makes little difference to you.
You and father work late into the night, with Danzo and him leaving at one point to head to the manufactory to gather additional pieces.
But, you have them. These should definitely help with the mission!
Acquired 4 [All-Terrain Shinobi Facemasks]!
Afterwards you head to bed- you’ll pack in the morning. Itachi-sensei didn’t give a specific time, so you assume he’ll come calling when the time arrives….
>>48217697
She, Suzaku is either a girl or very effeminate guy in its usual depictions.
Genbu has a snake tail, which is rad as fuck.
>>48217673
if we could make stellar chakra linger....imagine the possibilities....
Stellar chakra mine
stellar chakra construct (shaping and forming weapons or objects with it)
etc
Now the main question of course is, which is more fitting?
Byakko the white tiger, associated with lightning
or
Suzaku the golden pheonix, associated with fire.
Those two fit better then the dragon (water) or the tortoise (earth)
>>48217707
The four guardian beasts of the cardinal directions.
>>48217725
WELP! We look badass now.
>>48217707
bigass water dragon, big ass turtlesnake, big ass white tiger, big ass phoenix.
each associated with a cardinal direction (east, west etc.
>>48217415
Well one because it doesn't need to be the sole range weapon at one time. If we also work on our hand-signs we can use offensive jutsu in one hand while we control puppets in the other. We can use the full power of our collective creativity with the puppets, like for example making them with some sort of mirror materiel to make them hard to detect and reflect our chakra like light. We also don't need to be that good at kenjutsu to use Raiga, it's ability to give us control over lightning seems like it would be a better thing at long distance anyways. And we have stellar release to shore up our deficits in speed and strength, especially if we get better with that teqnique. Ok I'm done arguing the point now.
>>48217707
>Can you translate that for the non-weebs?
Azure Dragon, Black Turtle, White Tiger, Vermilion Phoenix.
>>48217597
Puppets are terrible. There are what? 3 puppet users in the whole series and the only 2 that were any good either used corpse puppets or super magical puppets they inherited. We will never have either one of those things.
>>48217743Griffin
>>48217773
b-but, my special snowflake!
>>48217738
>>48217743
I just like the idea of summoning a big-ass turtle.
>>48217697
Yeah I agree. That would be rad as shit, but I think I prefer the idea of:
"SUDDENLY A GIANT GOLDEN FLAMING BIRD!"
>>48217743
The tiger. Fur coats are symbols of wealth and royalty.
>>48217773
>>48217782
guys, qm said to DROP THE FUCKING PUPPET TALK FOR POST-THREAD.
>>48217785
Also awesome.
I just really like the idea of a huge turtle better, for some reason.
>>48217785
I'm kind of on team genbu myself if only because he's cool.
Suzaku fits tsuki better honestly
>>48217802
>we can get Mitsuru's bitching coat for grown up Tsuki
It would be amazing
>>48217809
>>48217817
I mean, on the one hand, byakko and suzaku match our elemental affinity, whereas genbu is earth, and doesnt.
On the other hand, genbu ALSO represents metal, which fits our norihime background well.
However you must consider: Would any other summon that comes with genbu be worth anything? Tortoises are kinda slow AF, I think tigers and pheonix's might be better combat partners.
>>48217750
I'm trying to imagine Tsukis first summon with any of these.
>baby alligator with fake wings
>An actual snake that ate a turtle and is shell shaped
>white kitty
>A rooster on fire
>>48217874
We'll have to see what they'll offer. Right now we're just going off of what animal they are and what element they represent in mythology, which won't necessarily equal what they rep in Shinobi Quest.

Is it wrong that I want to be greedy and summon all 4 which somehow at the end of the quest allows us to summon Kohryu/Huang Long?
>>48217874
well genbu does have a snake for a tail, so we might get snakes and tortoises... though... these are ninja turtles were talking about here... oh goddammit the lower tier summons for genbu better not be the tmnt...
I still say suzaku.
No ninja is gonna want to fuck with pic related.
Also let's be honest here, having a flyer to carry us would be useful as all fuck.

You sleep in a little, to counter staying up as late as you did last night….
But it doesn’t seem to matter- even when waking up at four hours after dawn, Itachi hasn’t arrived. You don’t mind, though, as it gives you plenty of time to pack as instructed. You pack as light as you can, avoiding too many amenities.
Loose, lightly colored clothing. Not exactly your style, but better to be comfortable in the heat. The sand would ruin your nicer clothes, anyway.
As promised, Father had Maru prepare some travel food- and as usual, she made far too much. Thankfully, you can dole it out to the rest of the team- you doubt Nori thought that far ahead, and Itachi-sensei probably can’t cook.
As the afternoon arrives, it brings the rest of your team to your residence. It occurs to you, somewhat at the last second, that this is the first time either Nori or Hinata has seen the estate- although time really hasn’t permitted it.
“Yooooo! Princess! Nice digs! The Hokage residence has nothing on your place!” a voice echos in from the foyer.
Could she be any less couth? That girl…
You bring your bags with you, meeting your team. Nori seems to be everywhere at once, investigating everything in sight.
“Nori, please don’t break anything. We’re guests….” Hinata chatizes Nori.
You can’t help but laugh a little at them both. Where before you’d be annoyed, their antics have definitely grown on you…
you know what we must do anons...the time of ninja has passed. The New Era has comeJust Carve a leaf symbol on their helmets
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pm5VP3of-dA
As you gather, Itachi addresses you.
“Ladies, we’re heading into potentially hostile territory. Our mission is two-fold- first we carry an invitation. If we can deliver it, wonderful. If not, it does not affect the success of our mission. Think of it as a side-objective.” Itachi explains
“A set of ruins as been discovered within the vast wastes of the Land of Wind. Various archeological societies are vying to discover it’s secrets- and the Capital is no different. Apparently, Suna shinobi flat out refuse any missions regarding the ruins- all the more for us, then. Our proprietor is to meet us on the border of the Land of Rivers and the Land of Wind. We set out now, as the trip will take most of the day. We’ll reach the border by morning, and the deserts by early evening. I hope to avoid too much travel in the direct sunlight….”
It is at this point, you produce the masks. You explain their function, and show everyone how they work.
“Tsuki-hime, this is amazing! When did you make this?” Hinata asks.
“Last night. Just another wonder brought to you by the Norihime Corporation! Ohohohohoho!~” you exclaim with pride.
“These will be a great boon, Tsuki. Thanks for thinking ahead!” Itachi-sensei praises you.
“Princess, this makes me look cool, right?” Nori says, donning the mask.
You’re glad they appreciate your hard work- you hope to make this as painless as possible.
“Now, it’s time we set out. The Land of Wind has many unique dangers besides the terrain, so we’ll be going over them on the trip. This is a true B-rank mission, so we must remain vigilant of all potential dangers. Understand?” Itachi dictates.
“Yes, Sensei!” the three of you respond.
>>48218383
YES, YEESS! Technology will outpace the shinobi! Armor and weapons that can be mass produced and actually matter in high-level ninja combat!
We need to get a hold of some chakra armor. If only we had a power source for some weaponry. Hmm, wait a minute, large amounts of energy, accessable everywhere, passively gathered and stored for useage... Do you think natural energy could power a laser gun? If so, Orochimaru has a very convienient method of gaining as much as you want on demand.

And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
Im so fucking ready
The trip through the Land of Rivers is uneventful- just as you remember it. Barring the bad memories the place invokes, it seems free of any crime or banditry. Or maybe, they know you were coming? Hard to say.
Itachi-sensei rattles off the dangers of the Land of Wind:
First, the environment: Blistering days, Freezing nights. Wicked sandstorms that can tear the flesh and blind the eyes. The sand beneath your feet can suck you beneath it, never to be seen again.
Then, the flora. He lists off several varieties of poisonous plants native to the region- some of the nastier ones paralyze their victims instead of killing them outright.
Finally, the fauna- scorpions, snakes, birds of prey. Sandworms… wait.
“Sandworms? What is a sandworm?” you ask, breaking yourself out of the daze you were in.
“Obviously it’s a worm that likes the sand, princess. Pay attention!” Nori scolds. Seems she was actually interested in these mundane dangers.
“I wonder what kind of snakes populate the desert? It’d certain be nice to know…” Hinata muses, looking out the window of the carriage you four are taking to the border.
“A sandworm, Tsuki, is a giant tunneling worm that may or may not inhabit the deserts of the Land of Wind. Some call them superstition, but the locals maintain they exist, and prey on hapless travellers.” Itachi explains.
Right, so some local myth. He certainly had you going for a while there….

Writing and Multitasking.

Who are you hoping win the Tsukibowl?
>>48219056
Yuritease with tenten then, pick shino.
tenten is already getting a bit of screentime but shino is underappreciated
“So sensei, this is a B-rank mission.” you say, mainly making conversation to keep yourself awake. It was getting dark, but you needed to stay awake for a while longer.
“Yes, it is.” he responds. “Any mission within another Shinobi nation will automatically be classified as such, and the dangers present within the Land of Wind certainly don’t hurt. We also have reason to believe other Shinobi may be present- not necessarily in a antagonistic sense, but you can never be too careful. These ruins are somewhat of a hot commodity.” he explains.
“Yes, and what about these ruins? What do we know?” you inquire further.
“We personally don’t know very much- the Capital was certainly mum on the subject, through I expect our patron will explain it further if you’re curious. The environment there preserves things from our ancient history- there’s no telling what knowledge they’ve uncovered.” Itachi responds.
“Any… treasure? Artifacts?” you say with a hopeful voice.
Itachi laughs. “Looking to expand your souvenir collection? Nori says you take one home after every mission.”
You grumble.
“I’m sure there are things there of great historical significance, although again, the Capital was silent on such a thing- not part of our agreement, no doubt. The historians won’t take kindly to a shinobi breaking valuable things, I’d wager.” he says, voice still full of laughter.

Eventually, you dose off. Itachi seems just fine- although you do hope he gets some sleep.
---------------
You wake to the early morning sun and a stopped cart. Itachi-sensei isn’t here- he seems to be talking to someone outside. This is probably the border, then.
As the others wake, you hop out of the carriage, and put on your pack containing your provisions. You stretch and generally just attempt to get the blood flowing- you have a long day ahead of you.
Eventually, Itachi returns to the group.
“Alright, we’re cleared to enter. The carriageman will be leaving, so make sure you have everything. According to the guardsmen, our contact shouldn’t be too far past the border.
The four of you head past the border gate- a large wooden gate built over a natural cliffside. It looks mostly ceremonial- it isn’t exactly a defensible position.
Sure enough, not even 15 minutes past the border, you spy a man leaning against the outside of the pass, smoking a cigarette.
“Dr. Kosugi?” Itachi says, greeting the man.
“In the flesh. You must be the Shinobi from Konoha then? Excellent. Sorry to call you all the way out here, but the locals aren’t particularly helpful.” He turns from Itachi to the three of you.
“Hey there! I’m Lemeza Kosugi. Archeologist. I plan to give these ruins a thorough shakedown- and I’ll be needing your backup, if not your help. What do you say?”
He seems to be asking for your acceptance- a bit odd, since you’re already here. Dr. Kosugi is a rugged man, older than Itachi for sure, but not as old as your father. He seems an agreeable sort.
You…
