[X] A team of five chunin, including your friend Satou Koifuku, has been tasked with destroying a weapons production facility on the contested Yanwu Island between the Land of Wind and the Land of Rivers. They need a jounin to lead them, and you did say you'd consider leading it. Yanwu Island is a medium island in the fire sea, which has a number of natural resources and has been contested by Suna and Tani for decades. Suna built a weapons production facility there a few months before the War started, and its production capacity could be enough to tip the balance of Suna's front with Iwa in their favor.

[X] A small team of expert spies from Jomae Village needs extraction from the Iwa-occupied Land of Keys. You don't know what information they have (otherwise you wouldn't need to extract them), but they've spent a few weeks embedded deep in Iwa's territory, and there are indications it includes plans for Iwa's further movements into the Land of Wind and possibly even the Land of Rivers.

[X] According to a reputable source, Kumo has taken a very valuable prisoner from Konoha. A valuable prisoner that only the mole who sold out the info knows the true value of. Said mole thinks they're leaking information to Konoha, but all that info goes through Ame first. The prisoner is located at Futtou Mountain, a lightly-fortified Kumo base in the Land of Steam, typically a resort town at the base of the huge dormant volcano at the center of Steam's famous mountain range.

[X] Monks have been conducting hit-and-run attacks on lone shinobi and small groups. So far, the only survivors have been from Kusa, which doesn't want anymore trouble than it already has. Ame seems to be the only taker of the mission, which is to penetrate a derelict temple at the very edge of the Land of Graves, establish the monks' motive, and wipe them out.
I like every option here more than the friendship gig, which isn't even being locked out if tsubaki takes a different mission at this exact moment. All of these are higher priority, especially the information based ones. Which is all three. The friendship gig is explicitly the end of the chain of a plan. These are all upstream missions with high importance to planning and higher function of the village policy.

I don't think Ame will just ignore the other stuff here. They have more jounin than Tsubaki.
I'll do a canon character ages/birth years along with the current year thing. Maybe a new timeline too, along with an IC one. And a thing clarifying what from canon is quest canon/what's not, which is looser than you might expect.
Also yes, missions you don't take don't go to an incinerator and not happen, someone else will take them. Not that their success is guaranteed...

World Timeline V2 (In-Unverse) & Character Ages Reference
FF- From Founding, starts on the first day of the year Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha founded Konohagakure. Most shinobi countries use this calendar, though Daimyo formally use reignal years, and occasionally other villages go off their own founding. Monks, some civilians, and religious types tend to use a dating system based off of the Sage of the Six Path's life, despite there being no historical records of him or from that time.

Wait, we're the same age as Minato and Kushina?
Man that puts some things into perspective. We're gonna be in the parents generation by the time canon rolls around.

When do you canonically put the end of the Third War? There's disagreeing information in canon to date it, so I'm curious about your stance

Who is Nina?
Lots of people seem surprised at Tsubaki's age. How old did you all think she was?
2 years before the Nine Tails Attack, 14 years before canon. Which is kinda wrong but I don't like it only being a few months after the war. Really the only thing which makes that wonky is Kakashi's age but I've changed that twice already.
Juura's sister, she's mentioned but maybe not by name.

I'm not surprised by Tsubaki's age so much as by who her contemporaries are.

Slight discrepancy here, did you mean 3rd succeeds 2nd Kazekage in 28FF?
Fixed, thanks. For some reason I couldn't see I had the First Kazekage dying so I put it in again.
Sorry for the post delay, it'll probably be out tomorrow night. Just been busy cause of work and the holiday and all.
Campaign 2: Mission 3: Start
Five chunin appear in front of the mission office about two hours later. It's within the time limit you had given them, but it's a little closer to the two-hour fifteen-minute deadline than you would have liked. Still, you have to give them some credit for showing up all at once. Even if you saw them gather on a nearby rooftop first.
When they all body flicker onto the drying (not for long, considering the clouds overhead) street in front of the mission office, you take stock of them quickly.
Satou is present, of course, and standing at the middle of the formation. Her short hair is held out of her eyes by her forehead protector, and she's wearing her standard Ame flak jacket over her long sleeved green shirt and baggy pants.
Left to right, you go over the chunin present, besides Satou.
Furthest to your left is a slim, pale teen chunin, he looks a few years older than you. There are heavy bags under his eyes, and his hair is dull brown and hanging in strands. His forehead protector is also on his forehead (the only one besides Satou to be wearing it "correctly"), and his dense, slate-grey flak jacket is over a heavy, long-sleeved, dark grey hoodie and matching pants. He has a large scroll strapped horizontally to his back.
Between Satou and the chunin you will dub "Pale Boy" until you learn his name (which you will have to do), is Satou's former teammate Niina. Niina is your own former teammate, Juura's twin sister, and the family resemblance is evident. Both are pale, close to your own shade, and both are tall for their age, with Niina being both taller and more developed than yourself or Satou. Niina also has dark blue eyes and long red hair, currently held back into a low ponytail. Her flak jacket is over a baggy dark blue shirt and baggy dark blue shorts, the latter over a pair of fishnet leggings. Her forehead protector is slung around her neck, and she has a number of scrolls strapped to her jacket via straps she's added on.
Immediately to Satou's right is a tall, male chunin who's probably the oldest member of the team. Not only is he tall, but he's pretty wide, and you can see his muscles thanks to the short sleeved fishnet shirt he wears under his flak jacket. His skin is tanned, while not particularly dark, it's dark for a resident of Ame. He has cropped dark brown hair and flinty black eyes, and he doesn't have the most pleased expression on his face. His forehead protector is tied around his right bicep.
Furthest to your right is a chunin you can't place the age of. He's on the shorter side, shorter than Niina, but for some reason you'd place his age as similar to Pale Boy. He has long, blond hair, nearly as long as yours since it's straight and reaches his mid-back, an average skin tone for Ame, and amber eyes. He wears a collared shirt with elbow-length sleeves under his flak jacket and tan pants covered in pockets. A pair of swords is strapped to his hips, hung on the same belt his forehead protector is embedded in.
Both Sword Boy and Niina have rebreathers hanging from their belts.
All-in-all, it's not too bad a team, and you think you can work with them. Even if you only know two of them.
"The couriers told us to meet our jounin at the mission office," Big Guy says, sounding annoyed. "We're all here early and they're going to make us wait?"
Satou looks up at him, brow furrowed.
It's then you realize that, while they're all wearing flak jackets and forehead protectors, you aren't.
"Gorei, stop it," your friend speaks up, but you silence her with a gesture.
"I'm the jounin in charge of your mission, Go-rei," you tell him, jabbing a thumb towards your chest. "Tsubaki, if you don't already know me, you probably aren't important enough to have heard of me." It sounds like a boast, but it's actually true.
"Funny, but I haven't heard of you, and you don't look like a jounin. Put your forehead protector on and get out of here, kid." Gorei goes to move past you, and you see Pale Boy and Sword Boy shoot each other a look, uncertainty clear in the motion.
"Turn around and stand with the rest of the team," you tell him, your tone even but the weight of your chakra and killing intent brought to bear as authority. At least you try to make it seem like authority, it probably still feels like being stalked by a shark to them.
The big chunin immediately locks up, walking backwards and back into position. "M-my apologies," he says as you dial back on the intensity.
"Tsubaki," Satou cuts in, voice shaky. The whole team looks pretty shaky, Niina is even paler than normal and her eyes as wide as saucers; Sword Boy's feet have shifted into something like a combat stance, but his hands are shaking; and Pale Boy is standing straight as an arrow, a trained reaction to a superior flexing their killing intent. "Thanks for doing this, but the next time-" she stumbles on her words, something you haven't seen her do in years "-someone is insubordinate, you don't have to let out that much chakra."
Oh right, she's training to be a sensor, and Niina is naturally skilled as one. Sending out a wave of killing intent, either targeted at a group including them or untargeted, might not be the best idea going forward.
"Sure, I just had to get that out of the way," you answer, putting some pep in your voice. That's what leaders do on missions with bigger teams like this, right? Not like it's black ops or wetworks at least.
The door to the mission office opens, and you signal for the team to get a move on.
Nobody says anything until you reach the far side of the lake surrounding Ame.
"Before we start the mission proper, I read the mission file, but I don't know much about any of you," you say as the team stands in a relatively dry spot under thin clouds. It looks like it's going to start raining again over the village. "Well, except you two," you point at Satou and Niina, "but if you need to share what you can do with the rest of the team, feel free." Both girls nod, "You start," you say, pointing at Sword Boy.
"Ah, as far as I know, you three entered the Academy right after I graduated," he says, as he affixes his mask over his face. "As you can see, I'm a swordsman, though I incorporate shurikenjutsu into my kenjutsu. I can use some Earth Style jutsu, and my reflexes are faster than my movement speed, not too great at Body Flicker. I'm decent at genjutsu. Oh, and my name is Ameishiki. If the file didn't say who was who."
The file did not. His clarification is helpful, as it means Pale Boy is Mikkajirou Useikan, from one of the few clans of Ame.
"I'm Mikkanjirou, from the Useikan Clan," Pale Boy confirms, "I know medical ninjutsu, and I tend to fight from a distance. I'm pretty good at setting up traps, and I'm able to fall back on combat ninjutsu in a fight. My Fire Style is rather advanced."
You nod to Niina, before Gorei can speak.
"I'm Niina, I haven't worked with Mikkanjirou yet, and Gorei doesn't know my capabilities," she starts, not slowly but not as quick as she could be. "I'm a natural sensor, and I've trained my effective range to jounin-levels, that's what the Security Division says. I primarily use fuinjutsu in combat, though I'm not much of a front-line fighter, I'm good with explosive tags. I can use Water and Earth Style."
"You all know me," Satou says to the team, "Satou Koifuku. Ninjutsu is my strong suit, I can use Fire Style well and I know some Water Style and some Lightning Style. I use kunai up close."
"Gorei Sontaru," the big chunin says. For his earlier demeanour he hides being mad at being forced to introduce himself last pretty well. "I apologize for earlier, Tsubaki," his apology sounds sincere, though there's an edge to his tone, "I had never seen a face to associate with your name, your reputation precedes you." He may just be talking you up, but there's also something of a point to that, if word of some of your missions has gotten out. "I use taijutsu and Earth Style ninjutsu, I'm more of a grappler than a striker, and I prefer brass knuckles or tonfa to kunai. I have some specialty training as a survivalist, so if anything goes wrong and we go off-map I can keep us alive."
Maybe you misjudged him earlier, he doesn't seem so bad.
"I'm Tsubaki, which you now all know," there's no arrogance or bragging in the statement or your tone. "I'm a taijutsu specialist, and I can use both Wind Style and Fire Style. I also use ninjutsu to augment my taijutsu. I use kenjutsu sometimes, typically iaido. I have some poison knowledge and accompanying resistance." You look over the group, "Any more questions?"
There are none, which means it's time to depart for Yanwu Island.
[] Take the team through the Land of Rivers. It's the most straightforward route to Fire Gulf and, by extension, Yanwu Island. However, Suna will be expecting any assault on the weapons facility to come from Tanigakure, and the Land of Rivers. The island itself is also pretty far from the nearest port in Rivers, but not particularly far from the cliffs around the southern edge of the country.
[] Take the team through the Land of Fire and travel to the island via Namiraku, the Land of Waves. Waves is a theoretically independent country with no military might to speak of and only dubious value as a trading partner. It is, however, also theoretically neutral and, according to reports, not controlled by Konoha. Departing from there, either on your own or on a ship, would bring you close to Yanwu Island. On the other hand, it means going through the Land of Fire.
[] Take the team through the Land of Wind. While the most direct route is through the Land of Rivers, traveling through the Land of Wind will get you closer to the island. Also, the approach to Yanwu from Wind will be less guarded than the approach from Rivers, though if you stowed aboard a ship or took one, you would have to circle the island regardless. You would also be going straight through the Land of Wind, traveling along their strongest supply lines.
A/N: Belated Happy Easter. It wouldn't have been belated, but well, we all know what happened the last few days.
A/N2: Hopefully that doesn't happen again and the server situation is stable. Reading back through a little it feels like Tsubaki might be the flashback bad guy in some tragic backstories… Are we the baddies?

A/N2: Hopefully that doesn't happen again and the server situation is stable. Reading back through a little it feels like Tsubaki might be the flashback bad guy in some tragic backstories… Are we the baddies?
Voting closes at 12:00pm on Thursday, April 8th!

[X] Take the team through the Land of Rivers. It's the most straightforward route to Fire Gulf and, by extension, Yanwu Island. However, Suna will be expecting any assault on the weapons facility to come from Tanigakure, and the Land of Rivers. The island itself is also pretty far from the nearest port in Rivers, but not particularly far from the cliffs around the southern edge of the country.

[X] Take the team through the Land of Wind. While the most direct route is through the Land of Rivers, traveling through the Land of Wind will get you closer to the island. Also, the approach to Yanwu from Wind will be less guarded than the approach from Rivers, though if you stowed aboard a ship or took one, you would have to circle the island regardless.

Hmm, I'd say avoid going through Fire for now given we just recently took a Konoha team prisoner and that leaves us with either going through Rivers of Wind. So it's a question of risking a heavier battle at the facility or risking shit going wrong on our way to the facility.

Getting caught before even hitting the water is too much of a risk for me, besides it's not like heavy combat scares us or we're trying to do anything other than burn the place to the ground.
