Arc 1: Chapter 7
"Instead of playing, how about we do something else?" you began.

"Oh? What should we do then?" Otoshi asked.

"How about we set up a trap for someone? Like...Kabuto," you said, remembering how Orochimaru's right hand man always seemed to have it out for you. This would be a good way to pay him back!

"A trap? That seems pretty dangerous," Otoshi said, sounding a bit ominous. "I might have to stop you there..."

"A poor choice of words. I meant more of a prank." you said after a moment. Otoshi seemed to blank out for a few seconds before smiling.

"Ah yes, a prank! That sounds like fun!" Otoshi replied excitedly, almost with childlike exuberance. "But...hm. It would have to be quite the prank to get the drop on Kabuto."

You honestly didn't expect Otoshi to play along with you, and even if a prank was rather childish to you, you weren't going to pass up a chance to humiliate that silver haired punk! But now the issue was...actually trying to find a way to prank the man. You didn't even know where he could be in the Sound. You decided to ask Otoshi if he knew anything that could be useful.

"Hm. Father said he would be busy with experiments today, so I assume Kabuto would be with him?" Otoshi said, rubbing his chin in thought.

"Father? Do you mean Orochimaru?" you asked, slightly stunned.

"Oh yes, Orochimaru is my father! But trust me, I didn't get my Fifth Star status out of pure nepotism." Otoshi said proudly.

"I wouldn't expect a man like Orochimaru to willingly procreate. But then again, he is human. Humans are obsessed with spreading their taint through lineage, after all." you thought. After letting this stew for a moment, you said, "I'm sure there will be time when they finish their experiments for the day..."

"Yeah, trying to prank Kabuto while he's working with father wouldn't be a good idea. But honestly, what prank did you even have in mind?" Otoshi asked.

"What type of prank? Uh..." you muttered. You didn't think that far, but Otoshi was looking (well, more like facing your general area) expectantly.

What prank will you pull on Kabuto?

Normally I'd make a few presets for you guys to choose, along with a write in. But if I'm being honest, I can't really think of anything so....yeah. If the vote stalls out I'll just count that as "Kurama can't think of anything."

"Let's tamper with Kabuto's glasses. The smug bastard is always adjusting them, pissed me off..." you growled.

"Oh! Sounds like fun! But how are we gonna do that?" Otoshi asked.

"Hmph. Well...we could heat them up or poison them, so when he puts them on, he'll get surprise." you said thoughtfully.

"Oh!" Otoshi repeated, a large grin on his face. "Then let's ask Kobura! He has a special Kekkei Genkai that could easily do both!"

"Does he now...fine. Do you know where he is?" you asked.

"Yeah, around this time he'd be in the warden's office of the main prison. Follow me!" Otoshi said, turning around and walking out of the training room. You really wanted to rest after your training, but you followed Otoshi, eager to see how this would play out. Surprising you, Otoshi was rather coordinated for a blind man. Yes, he checked the ground using his katana as a makeshift cane, but he always made sure to get out of people's way or easily dodge any obstacles. After some time, Otoshi led you near the edge of the Sound Village, a massive wall of stone with buildings pressed up against it and he continued to walk forward, passing through the wall!

You activated your Byakugan and saw the part where Otoshi walked through was merely an illusion hiding a thick iron door that looked heavily locked. You stood next to Otoshi as he knocked on the door. After a few minutes and more knocking, the door creaked open to reveal Kobura, looking rather annoyed.

"Otoshi? Fox? The fuck you two doing here?" Kobura snarled.

"We wanted to ask you a favor," Otoshi replied.

"I have no times for games, Otoshi!" Kobura barked, unleashing a surge of killing intent. Neither you or Otoshi were affected.

"Oh no, it's not for a game! We need your Kekkei Genkai for a prank!" Otoshi said.

"...The fuck? Why would you need Radiation Release for a prank?" Kobura asked, bewildered.

"We made a plan to prank Kabuto. The idea was to tamper with his glasses so he'll get...a surprise when he puts them on," you answered truthfully. "Otoshi told me you'd could do it with your....Radiation Release, was it?"

"I don't like my secrets being told, Otoshi." Kobura sternly said, glaring at the blind man. "But, yes, I suppose if I wanted I could irradiate his glasses. But why would I? Kabuto's a prick, but he hasn't bothered me any."

Of course it wouldn't be this easy. You had never heard of Radiation Release before and you were extremely interested in seeing how it would work. Looks like you'd have to convince Kobura to help out.

What will you do?

[] Tell Kobura that if he does this for you, you'll owe him a favor for whatever he wants.

[] Tell Kobura of how Kabuto treated you and you want revenge against that asshole!

[] Unleash your killing intent and tell Kobura that you want Kabuto to make sure that he remembered you're the feared Nine-Tailed Fox.

[] Unleash your killing intent and tell Kobura that if he's unwilling to help, then you'll just maim Kabuto with your bare hands!

[] Write In.
 
[X] Tell Kobura it would remind Kabuto of Kobura's superiority, and further cement his dominance.

"Alright, how about this? You do this for me-"

"Us." Otoshi interrupted.

"...Us, and I'll do any favor you ask." you said, trying to sound as diplomatic as you could.

"What the hell would I want that only you could give me?" Kobura sternly asked, crossing his muscular arms. "Make it worth my time if you're trying to to get me to throw radiation in Kabuto's eyes, know what I mean?"

"Hm. How about we settle this over a game? How about hide and seek?" Otoshi suggested. "You hide, and Kurama and I will try to find you!"

"Fuck off, I ain't playing your games, kid." Kobura bluntly said, glaring daggers at Otoshi. Otoshi turned in your general direction and shrugged, suggesting he was out of ideas for now.

"Something I could do for Kobura that no one else could. Hmph. With this body of mine right now, it'll be difficult to fulfill any of them. But let's see. Kobura loves killing, and is basically the police chief of the Sound. He can use fire, and something called Radiation Release. We had good rapport when we first met, so maybe I can talk him down? Let's see..."

You could tell that you only had one real chance to convince Kobura to help you with your plan. What will you say?

[] Write In.

[] Forget it. Convincing Kobura is unlikely, you better just back off for now.

(Note: If you succeed here, you will get extra points for the Man Path.)
 
Hmm...

[X] "I have many things only I could offer you. Sure, you could find them elsewhere, but I'm the easiest source available. You know what I am, and you know about the Hyuuga. Naturally it would take time, but gifting you a sample to call your own would be doable."

How about that? We are asking him to use his own special ability, and between his love of murder & official role any of the many "gifts" we could give would make him much stronger.

While I'm a general story consultant on this and thus don't vote because I know too much, I did just think of this detail that Mega confirmed he did overlook. You actually do have a pretty good bargaining chip here, but the question is, do you want to further his cause?

You know about Jashin and all that, is what I'm saying.

Still not voting because of being a lazy twat personal policy, but hopefully this engenders some discussion instead of this vote that's a cryptic way of saying "I got nothin' bro"

And, if you find out I'm lying about all this, throw radiation in my own eyes after."

@pyroflare77: How is offering Chakra from a Tailed Beast, sharing knowledge of the Hyuuga's Gentle Fist, and/or arranging for artificially made Byakugans "nothing"? Sure straight-up immortality is really great, but these other options makes it easier for him to actually kill.
 
Those sound like empty promises at the moment. Even if one of those is a possibility in the near future. But hey, I'm not writing the story.
 
[X] Write-In: "You and I share...similarities. I know of a group that shares that with us. Worships that. And as a bonus. You get immortality."

Fine, since my Write-In is wrong anyways if Pyroflare says so.
 
Arc 1: Chapter 10
"Do you see the color change in my eyes? I have met a "business" partner who you personally would be very, very interested in getting in contact with. Think of this slight against Kabuto as the beginning of us working together in the future. You do this for me and Otoshi, and I'll get you in contact with them. And, if you find out I'm lying about all this, throw radiation in my own eyes after." you smoothly said, putting all the impromptu diplomacy practice you had been using to good work.

Otoshi grunted in confusion, but you paid him no mind, focusing solely on Kobura. Kobura narrowed his eyes and and asked, "I ain't picking up what you're putting down, know what I mean? Who exactly is this business partner of yours?"

You grabbed Kobura by the collar of his outfit and pulled him down so you were seeing eye to eye. Kobura almost looked enraged at your action, but then you whispered, "You and I share...similarities. I know of a group that shares that with us. Worships it. As a bonus, you will be gifted with immortality," with much emphasis on similarities by unleashing an intense burst of killing intent.

Kobura's rage turned into curiosity. He briskly, yet lightly pushed you away, standing to his full height. "I know what you mean now. Gotta say...that's a helluva offer. Fine. I'll fuck with Kabuto, but if what you say is just bullshit, then I'll make sure you get the receipt you deserve."

+2 Man

"You won't be disappointed." you confidently said.

"Hope not." Kobura bluntly replied, closing the door on your face. Now you got Kobura on board, all that you had to do was get a pair of Kabuto's glasses!

"Otoshi, do you know where Kabuto lives?" you asked.

"No. But, hm. I know Kabuto tends to go to the pharmacy to collect reports and such for father. There's also the hospital, he spends a bunch of time in there too. I...also think he has his own office in the research facility?" Otoshi answered, tapping the tip of his katana on the ground in thought.

"So, three options eh? If we split up, we could cover much more ground that way."

"I guess. But who will go where? Also, do we neeeeed to split up? I'm having such a great time with you, fox!" Otoshi happily said.

Well? What will you do? Will you split up to cover more ground? And who will go where if so?

[] Don't split up.
-[] Go to the Pharmacy.
-[] Go to the Hospital.
-[] Go to the Research Facility.

[] Split up and choose where Kurama and Otoshi will go.
Kurama-
-[] The Pharmacy.
-[] The Hospital.
-[] The Research Facility.

Otoshi-
-[] The Pharmacy.
-[] The Hospital.
-[] The Research Facility.
