Teaching the Next Generation To Blame Danzo: A Jounin Sensei Quest (A Naruto AU)

[X]Charter a Ship: It's expensive, and will get into your mission funds… but it also carries the least risks when it comes to running into hostile ninjas. It's a nice two-week vacation on the sea, where you can get a lot of training done. If it isn't a merchant ship. And the only ship to charter is a merchant ship… Shit.

  • [X]The Grass Earth Route: Grass has always been an opportunistic bunch, but they have always been lax on border security, as well as several dozen other stupid shit if the stories you heard from Ayako were true. But in the last war, they were opportunistic against Earth Nin, and they have a heavily guarded border, with a lot of trade and merchant traffic. Maybe you could sneak in.

The C-Rank Part 2 (The Runner Arc):

[]The Grass Earth Route: Grass has always been an opportunistic bunch, but they have always been lax on border security, as well as several dozen other stupid shit if the stories you heard from Ayako were true. But in the last war, they were opportunistic against Earth Nin, and they have a heavily guarded border, with a lot of trade and merchant traffic. Maybe you could sneak in.

"Are we there yet?" Naruto chirped as you continued to walk towards the border. This was the fifth time that he asked in the last hour. And it was really starting to grate your patience. Sasuke however did not have your level of self-control.

"Would you shut up Naruto!" He shouted as he walked next to Naruto and punched his shoulder. "We have been walking for three days, we will get to the border eventually, and asking if we are near it is not going to make us get there any faster!"

"But if someone can tell me where we are on the map, I would stop asking, believe it!" Naruto shot back. Naruto may be competent, but you would never say he would be wise. Especially since Yakumo and you were carrying the maps and the scroll.

Yakumo shook her head and facepalmed. "Sensei, are you going to do something about this?"

You shook your head. "As much as I want to, they both know that if they start fighting, I will send them back home with a reprimand and bar them from leaving the village for several months." Yakumo's eyes bulged out from her head.

"You take missions outside the village seriously." Hanzo stated surprise in his voice.

"I do. And they know it." You smiled. "Believe me, they will calm down and we will be back to boring walking while looking out for anything."

"Can't we show them where we are on the map?" She asked.

"If he wants to see where we are on the map, he can ask me." You said. "Or you."

Yakumo then gave a chuckle. "I think he just wants someone to talk to him for a few minutes. He seems to be unhappy with the silence."

You took a deep breath. "We are in a dangerous part of the world with dangerous cargo. Silence will keep us alive."

Yakumo nodded, as both boys stopped, and you stopped, to see the corpse hanging from the bridgehead. Branded with "thief" and "What We Do to Enemies." with the Grass symbol on it.

"We are at the border Naruto." You said grimly as you looked at the corpse. Seems someone from Lightning tried to escape into the Land of Fire to get home. And didn't make it. "We're about to enter Grass."

Sasuke gulped in nervousness. "I thought the border wasn't guarded here?"

You nodded. "It isn't. This is a warning to all who enter it."

Naruto then asked. "They really put a body out to scare people? That's kinda stupid. Why not put out an actual guard to protect it?"

You sighed. "Because this isn't for us. It's for those seeking to do Grass harm. As we are moving through it and not causing any trouble, they should leave us alone."

A moment passed, nay less than a heartbeat, before you felt something was off. "Kids, when we cross, be prepared for the fight of your lives. Or go home."

All three stood still. "Last chance to walk away. There is no shame in being afraid and deciding that this is the end of your journey as a ninja."

Yakumo spoke for all three of them. Well, four. "We're with you till the end."

Good.
----------------------

You are Entering Hostile Territory and must prepare for any eventuality. Crossing Grass will take (two) turns, provided you do not go for the special event roll.

What do you have Naruto do?:

What do you do?:

Do you wish to attempt to have a special event roll (A Special Event Roll can be a good or bad thing that happens to you as you travel. Doing this places you and your team at great risk, but also can give you a great boon, whether it be experience, allies, special events that can help out the team, or something else. However, if rolled low, it can place you, and your team in great danger, and they may not survive unscathed)
[]Yes: Lets go for it!
[]No: No, we shall stick to stealth, and keep things quiet.

AN: Enjoy and please vote in plan format.
 
The choice of route was for the chance to have a special, right? So special we should have! C rank bullshit ahoy!
Yep... Well kinda, all of them would have their own special things.

The ship for instance, would have been choosing to explore along its route, and getting into trouble along theway.

Rain is special for... different reasons.
 
Have Sasuke flash his Sharigan every few minutes so save on stress and energy.
Have Hanzo make it appear they are walking down the middle of the road side by side, when really they are all walking in a line to the left. Sasuke in the front Hanzo and Naruto in the middle, and u in the back.
Good?
 
[X] Plan: Bullshit my Genins

-[X] What do you have Naruto do?: Naruto will send Shadow Clone scouts to scout terrain, get Naruto to have those Shadow Clones pre-planned to dispell after twenty minutes, then send in another group to scout the terrain after Naruto has reported the scouting information to the team (in this case, relaying the information to Yamato in good time, preferably under a minute), or send a group in a different direction to scout terrain. Meanwhile have Naruto's main body begin to learn a base foundation in fuinjutsu, he seems to have a knack for fuinjutsu. Naruto will also be on point at the front of the group.

--[X] Potential names for the fuinjutsu learning scrolls: "101 Ways to Tax Evasion by Uzumaki Ashina", "Moon Palaces and Why they Are Stupid by Maki Ashina", "No, the Uzumaki are not the only ones that can learn fuinjutsu, here is how you can too! by Omaki Ashina (Very Traditional Title that is totally not written by a Uzumaki, last names be different! I mean first names be different!)", "Immortality/Immorality by Orochimaru", "Fuinjutsu Legacy of the Sky by Shinnō", "Fuinjutsu Math by Yaya, Ori, and Hime (Really Jiraiya of the Sanin trying his best to get a real fuinjutsu primer built for those that are not Uzumaki with help from Orochimaru, and Tsunade, when all three were younger, and drunker, and dumber. They made sexy nude doodles the publisher published. A old shame for the three. They never bothered actually rereading what they wrote once they saw the doodles. Had Kushina lived, she'd mock them for that decision, mercilessly. Because Kushina would evaluate their book as at least a step in the right direction of the impossible Uzumaki dream of a fuinjutsu builder for normal people, once Kushina stopped falling asleep at reading the boring fuinjutsu advice and finished reading the book after a decade of trying, shut up Minato there are no laws in fuinjutsu that's ridiculous.)", "Peace: A Comprehensive Exploration of the Basic Explosive Seal" by Uzumaki Nagato (Nagato is a very traditional last name, totally not a Uzumaki), "Fuinjutsu in the Shinobi Nations during the Warring Clan Era by Hiruzen Sarutobi", "How to: Fuinjutsu Gardening by Danzo Shimura", "Fuinjutsu For the Bedroom by Arashi (Minato Namikaze was not known for his books, Arashi 'the menace' was known for his oddly lewd titles that required massive oddly advanced information that was not included in the book on 'simple' fuinjutsu concepts such as using fuinjutsu to hotwire reality into your bitch so a fuinjutsu program can process paperwork in a minute allowing you to have enough time to learn how to store light in fuinjutsu and pull that light out of the seal for a portable lamp. Stuff like this was typical of Arashi the menace's work. Arashi would have a complicated fuinjutsu prerequisite Arashi seemed to assume everyone needed before they could learn a seal designed for the home life, followed by some really damn useful fuinjutsu design for the home.)", "Fuinjutsu by a Nara by Enchū Nara (Enchū lost a bet, and had to try writing a fuinjutsu primer for those that are not Uzumaki, the end result was something only a Nara could understand, Kushina broke down crying when she finally read it after years of Minato asking her to read it so the verdict from the Uzumaki is unknown, and Minato Namikaze. Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade got black-out drunk after they read it, and wrote and published Fuinjutsu Math in their drunken haze)".

-[X] What do you have Sasuke do?: Henge into a older blonde man. This is endurance training, rather than infiltration. The goal here is to have Sasuke take up a disguise that he keeps his chakra running for. With Sasuke being the one to turn it on or off to test his reserves and personal judgment (Keeping a disguise on 24 hours is paranoia, keeping a disguise up 24/7 is competence). Sasuke will be in the middle of the group.

-[X] What do you have Yakumo do?: It is time! Teach Yakumo how to knit! Has more to do with hand eye coordination, dexterity training, and giving the laws of reality the finger as you encourage Yakumo to knit while moving. Also ocasionally ask her what color one of the birds your group passed by was to assist in training her spatial awareness. Yakumo will be in the middle of the group.

-[X] What do you do?: You cover the rear, and do what you're supposed to which is to keep up your 'disguise' as a travelling shinobi on it's first C-Rank. You cover for the genin if they mess up, or your group encounters that "C-Rank" encounter.

[X]Yes: Lets go for it!

If you read all the titles. I salute you.

I don't think now is the time to be trying to train our students. Not when it feels like we're about to have our equivalent of the encounter with the puddle twins (I don't remember what they were called in canon) or, worse, Zabuza.
Eh, it's this, or we do nothing and just have the kids do nothing much.

The idea here is to have the kids do something. I wanted to have Naruto Scout, Sasuke play mid-liner, and Yakumo was supposed to play genjutsu support. But well, if you got a better idea of what to use our time for....
 
[X] Plan: Hook Line & Sinker
-[X] What do you have Naruto do?: Naruto will send Shadow Clone scouts to scout terrain, get Naruto to have those Shadow Clones pre-planned to dispel after twenty minutes, then send in another group to scout the terrain after Naruto has reported the scouting information to the team (in this case, relaying the information to Yamato in good time, preferably under a minute), or send a group in a different direction to scout terrain. Naruto will also be on point at the front of the group. Tell Naruto that if he makes a better map than the one we've already got by the end of the mission Sensei will treat him to Ichiraku's. Middle.

-[X] What do you have Sasuke Do?: Have him practicing with a variety of henge's. If he gets bored of that have him practice chakra control in various annoying yet hilarious ways. He takes point.

-[X] What do you have Yakumo Do?: Practice genjutsu on the wildlife we come across. See if she can subvert them and have birds, squirrels etc do some spy work for her. Or just harass/flush out anyone else who's watching/following the team. Middle.

-[X] What do you do?: Henge into a similarly aged Genin as the kids. If someone attacks, boy have they got a surprise coming. Take the rear.
-[X]Yes: Lets go for it!

I read all those fuuinjutsu scroll titles. I deserve a medal. I like them, this just feels like an inappropriate time to practice fuuinjutsu.

While i love the enthusiasm for Naruto and the kids training...

and will accept that plan...

know that funni things will occur.

And those funni things will not be something you will like... too much.

Have we taught Naruto that he can retain the memories of his Shadow clones after they dispel? In canon, he didn't learn that until after the timeskip, and I don't remember us teaching him that in this Quest.

-[X] What do you have Sasuke Do?: Periodically activate his Sharingan to see what he sees.
Last time I checked, Sasuke hasn't unlocked his Sharingan yet.

Also, you need to include whether or not we have a Special Event Roll.
 
Alright fine, here. Dull and boring. This should be fine.

[] Plan: The Pillow of Safety
-[] What do you have Naruto do?: Naruto will be at the front with three shadow clones henged into adults.

-[] What do you have Sasuke Do?: Have Sasuke henged into a brown haired samurai with a scar. Sasuke will be in the middle of the group.

-[] What do you have Yakumo Do?: Practice genjutsu on the wildlife we come across. See if she can subvert them and have birds, squirrels etc do some spy work for her. Or just harass/flush out anyone else who's watching/following the team. Yakumo will be in the middle.

We have not yep. This would be when we would tell him about it.

[X] Plan Go home and blame Danzo for the mission failure
-[X] Naruto: Go home
-[X] Sasuke: Go home
-[X] Yakumi: Go home
-[X]You: Go home
 
[X]Yes: Lets go for it!

Let's keep the vote for special event separate from plan votes.

That said, Grass is where Karin lives. Stealing her away from her ingrate team now will help her avoid getting snatched up by Orochimaru.
 
Has Sasuke not unlocked his Sharingan yet?
