Game of the Year: A Naruto Quest

The best scenario I have for fighting right now (and having this go well is implausible as hell) is the following:

1) Grab the sword
2) Run up the stairs
3) Tokei catches up when we're half or a quarter way up the stairs
4) Once he's directly behind us on the stairs launch ourselves backwards stabbing him somewhere in the chest or stomach area hopefully wounding him badly
5) Immediately throw ourselves to the side off the stairs
6) Run for help

See I don't see that happening really I think this might be the tragic moment in a ninjas life where his mother dies and he sees his nindo wasnt strong enough, our it's the moment where we die even younger then last time.
 
[X] Plan We're five, or, I hope someone heard that table
-[X] First, protect mother: "Imagawa-sama would grieve should anything happen to his Lily of the Mountain. And the only way to stop me from becoming a ninja of kohona is to stop me"
-[X] Second, use time while talking to recheck the room and plan. Shit. Nothing. At first glance. And he's going to throw that knife if we run for the door, and mother will intercept it and die. Keep him talking.
-[X] Third: hope to fuck someone is coming to invistigate, but actually be sincere, as we literally do not know much about what options are generally available. "If you kill me, mother will stop at nothing to take vengeance for your dishonrable act, and if she dies, Imagawa-sama will grieve, and even if not, my death will hurt her, and he will, again grieve.
-[X] But I promise you, you can convince me to not become a ninja. I wish to do so because it will help me protect mother. But that is moot when the choice threatens her life, and to be honest, I don't know much of the ways you spoke of to live an honourable life like you said. You can stop me and keep your honour still. Convince me, please, try. Tell me about Hagekko."

Why not try words.

[X] You must protect your mom, everything Gai-sensei has taught you has been for a moment like this. You can't beat Tokei, but you can buy time for surrounding ninja to help. Lure him outside, where there is more space, and try to be loud and boisterous to attract surrounding ninja. Engage in evasive maneuvers.

Ok we can't beat him. Were 5 and he's a trained samurai, This isn't about beating him, this is about getting time. I don't want any option were we aren't protecting our mom, that runs counter to everything our character is about.

Oh man oh boy I want this to win so our character can cringe at what he said as he's ran through
 
See I don't see that happening really I think this might be the tragic moment in a ninjas life where his mother dies and he sees his nindo wasnt strong enough, our it's the moment where we die even younger then last time.

I honestly do not see running into the open as improving our survival chances.
Tokei is far faster than us, he will catch us and kill us in seconds.

The only advantage I see is our small size, and smaller rooms upstairs with furniture should let us leverage that.
 

FUCK! ROOT! GAI WAS A TRAP! DANZO IS GOING TO GET US NOW!

Daisuke is a natural born citizen of the Land of Fire."

I think you meant "isn't a natural born citizen.."

"Your son deserves nothing!

Well, I wanted to like you, but well, fuck you now.

...We have just received a Maito Gai Pep Talk. We should probably try and win this ourselves.

Of course, we should also scream to the high heavens for help, because ANBU are a thing.

It was to teach you that there is always a way to win. No matter how hopeless the task seems, how challenging the road before you looks, how dangerous the opponent who stands before you is, there is always a way to overcome it."

Your mentor stops you from moving forward and meets your eyes steadily. "Remember, Daisuke-kun. The battle is only truly lost if you despair and surrender. As long as you do not do that, you can overcome any obstacle!"

Well, that puts Gai's speech in a new perspective, so either we can beat him, or we're dooooooooooomed.

[X]You need to draw him away from your mother, so run outside.
-[X]Grab his sword next to the door.
-[X]Instead of running away in the street, stay in the blind spot by the door and ambush him when comes rushing by stabbing him in the leg.
-[X]Let go of the sword and engage him in taijutsu, using his shock and pain to your advantage.

Ok, right now we're close to the door and next to his blade and can run outside without him stopping us. If we do that, he'll be expecting us to be fleeing not fighting, so he'll rush outside intent on chasing us and won't be ready for the surprise attack. This will let us get a cheap shot in to debilitate him which should let us leverage the fight a bit better.

See if you think he can catch us in a second then there's no hope of us making it up the stairs.

Why not try words.

Because Tokei is literally already attacking.
Mother already tried words.
Words failed.
 
[x] If you run, Tokei will take it out on Mother before chasing you. You can't let that happen! He doesn't have his sword on him, you passed it when Gai Sensei put Mr Straw down! Take it and use it to stab Tokei!
 
See if you think he can catch us in a second then there's no hope of us making it up the stairs.

Seconds, not second.

Like in ten to twenty. You can get 100 meters in 20 seconds.

We are also small and thus have far less momentum to overcome, we are more maneuvarable.
Advantages inside, irrelevant in the open. Inside, he will have to work to catch us.

Really I don't see any future in which we live if we stay in the house, we are so outmatched and we're dead tired, we need to hope either for a miracle like us unlocking our chakra and idk kicking him into space or we need to find an adult.

1) Grab the sword

5) Immediately throw ourselves to the side off the stairs
6) Run for help


Fuck it. That seems like a solid plan.

[-] Grab Tokei's sword, and start running up the stairs. When he gets close, launch yourself backwards and try stabbing the Samurai. When you hit the floor, throw yourself away from the stairs and run for help.

Edit: I'll vote on this if you will.

The major theme is our desire to protect, running away runs counter to that (no pun intended). We have to protect mom, and do it in a intelligent manner. As intelligent as fighting a trained Samurai can be that is.

And if there's any trouble, there's always a shinobi somewhere within earshot. You're fairly sure that if you ever do something wrong there'll be a full report on it attached to the refrigerator before you're even done doing it.

We need time, hence why i've decided on this write in.
[X] You must protect your mom, everything Gai-sensei has taught you has been for a moment like this. You can't beat Tokei, but you can buy time for surrounding ninja to help. Lure him outside, where there is more space, and try to be loud and boisterous to attract surrounding ninja. Engage in evasive maneuvers.

Well, you see, I do not see us living longer than 20 seconds if we go outside.
One of us is probably wrong.

I just don't see what you think we can do even if we squirrel away, what is the end game?

Wait for our mother to draw his attention again, and stab him to death.

See protecting mom can be getting the samurai away from her it doesn't have to be killing him in mortal combat
 
[X] Draw Tokei upstairs
-[X] Try to grab a hidden knife on the way, and keep it hidden on your person
-[X] Open an upstairs window and shout for help
-[X] Stay within the window's range as Tokei approaches. Pretend to be too tired to fight back and attack Tokei just as he lets his guard down
-[X] Jump out the window if the previous attack fails.
 
Fuck it. That seems like a solid plan.

I'll vote for it. I really don't see how we get out of this situation. I'll add to your write in.

[X] Grab Tokei's sword, and start running up the stairs. When he gets close, launch yourself backwards and try stabbing the Samurai. When you hit the floor, throw yourself away from the stairs and run for help. If he grabs you, fight as hard as you can and don't be afraid of dirty tricks.
 
This isn't a marathon, tho. Adrenalin will help Daisuke get through next couple of minutes. Exhaustion is not as much of a factor as it could have been.

Ok so mom distracts him and we get a lucky stab on him I still don't see us surviving the aftermath. Maybe if he was a regular dude but he's a trained killer.

@Alpha Zerg and @Khaine if you could change your vote to this I'd be glad. It'll give us more of a chance than just going for general stabbing.
