Dead Money Part 1: A Client and Casino
The C-Rank: Dead Money Part 1: A Client and Casino

You nodded and looked at the Bodyguarding mission. "I say we bodyguard." You stated.

The rest of your teammates nodded. "Alright then." Kakashi stated. "Let's take the bodyguard mission."

Lord Hokage nodded. "Send him in."

The doors swung open and the man walked in. "Apologize for my tardiness Ninja-san… I've had to make a stop." The man wore robes of a priest, a brown garb that covered much of his body, but you could tell it was a disguise his real identity. He smiled as he looked at you, your team and Kakashi-sensei. "Kakashi Hatake I presume?"

Kakashi's eye narrowed before he nodded his head. "Yes."

"Excellent." The man started clapping his hands in enjoyment. "My name is Shu, at your service… or rather, you are at my service for the remainder of this mission." He smiled. "We must move to Waterfall sir, there is a poker tournament we must get to before we get to the land of the moon."

Kakashi sighed. "We were tasked to bring you to the Land of the Moon, not go on detours."

"I'd read the contract again than Lord Hatake." You immediately saw Kakashi freeze in place, but he did nothing else to show any sign of distress. He was surprised.

"Why did he call sensei that?" Futaba asked.

"Kakashi is the Clan Head of the Hatake clan," Itachi stated. "He has the title of Lord to any of his subordinates or retainers… or for inclined individuals."

"We should get going," Kakashi stated, distress and worry in his voice. "I hope you brought money, we're about to go to the gambling capital of the mainland."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shu was rather annoying, boasting about how once he wins the tournament, he would be able to pay off his debts and live free.

"I am going to pay a hefty bonus of course." He stated quietly. "I promise you that."

"How did you get a debt like that anyway?" Futaba asked.

Shu smiled. "I had a run of bad fortune… my parents passed leaving me with something precious. I was a fool back than, and I gambled it away… now I'm trying to get it back."

His smile frightened you. "And ninja bodyguard?"

"A sign of wealth and status, of course, can't get into a poker tournament unguarded." He stated.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You were halfway through your journey when you noticed something was off. There was a caravan nearby, within sight of the Byakugan. There were following on the road nearby. You had told Kakashi that, and he nodded.

He had prepared himself for battle, and quietly told you all to get into a triangle formation. The Caravan was going to converge at a fork in the road. But with a civilian with you, one that wanted to walk with his own two feet, you couldn't avoid it.

"Kakashi, we're going to be meeting with an unknown caravan at the fork," you stated. "I don't like this."

"I know." He stated.

"You think they're debt collectors?" You asked.

"No, most debt collectors travel in small groups, not caravans," Kakashi stated. "Prepare yourself."

You nodded and looked to Futaba and Itachi. "Kakashi makes the first move."

Your two teammates nodded and prepared themselves.

The caravan almost reached you but you felt something was off.

"Sorry kid, but I need some extra hands for this job." Shu stated as you felt your world went limp, gas entering your mouth as his hand covered your face. You had seen him move, but he looked like he was trying to cover his face in fear. "And well, I cannot resist Kakashi Hatake himself helping to pull off the heist of the century."

Your team fell, darts puncturing their skins with a speed that Kakashi barely had time to notice. But it seems that Shu had another ninja on his payroll… because he fell to the ground.

"Load them into the back, we need to make up lost time." Shu stated.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You awoke in front of a painting of a fountain… a fountain with a woman on it.

And a large towering casino above you.

Welcome to Jade Siren Casino! Was above the gate, with large neon letters.

Who do you wake up with:

[]Kakashi: He seemed out of it, but you were going to check to make sure he was okay, and heal him of any injuries. "Don't touch his neck!" A voice called out. It was from a radio!

[]Itachi: The Young Uchiha was clearly in pain as he covered his eyes. "Good Good, the seal for his eyes works… Get up we have to get you prepared for your big debut in the gambling world."

[]Futaba: Futaba was standing up, her face red as her hair. "Great, he stole my Yari… what the heck am I supposed to do with this?" She looked to you and immediately hugged you. "Your okay!"

[]An Unknown Iwa Nin: The blond teen was… very angry. "Quiet you little brat, and listen, and you will survive!"

[]An old woman in a Kimono: She looked at you with her dead, red eyes, and a silent whisper crawled into your head. "Are you Hyuuga... Are you from Konoha?"

[]A very… Strange man in priest garb. "JASHIN WILL HAVE YOUR HEAD FOR THIS TREACHERY!"

[]Alone: You were left with... a strange device on your arm. "Your awake... good, good..." The voice came from it, imitating from a speaker. "It seems my plan got a little disrupted by the security. Listen to me, and every one of your companions will make it out of here alive. I have a plan."

AN: You should have seen this coming.

Welcome to the Jade Siren Casino, home of the greatest Poker Tournament in the world.

... so much for a high Jounin and his team of geniuses... but man, did the dice hate us on this turn!


AN: You should have seen this coming.
Considering the attackers had a rather hefty +48 combat bonus (except the one on Futaba, that noob only rocks a mere +40, ha! loser!) it seems we've been attacked by a team of at least high A rank ninjas.
Normal jounin taijutsu has been ranked at a mere +30 and Kage at +50 so... yeah, apparently we have a team of almost Kages attacking us from nowhere. i'm not sure how we "should" have seen this coming.

Fucking poison. Only ever as good as the narrative demands.

Looks like we're gonna need to do some surgery on ourself, although hopefully we don't need to cut off our arm if things go sideways.

Eh, Orochimaru probably can make us a new one.


So this seems like a mix of suicide squad and oceans 11. Gonna need to see more to decide if we kill the guy after or tell him to let us in on the plan next time.

Actually, they gained an increase from the ambush they sprung on us, and that was an extra 15.

So, only just jounin really.

Just like in the Naruto Manga!

... You might not like this guy.

Or you might love this guy, it really depends on what will happen, what you hear, and the choices you make.

that's the kind of thing that really should be put in the line: "Ambush successful, Combat rolls debuffed. Teamwork buffs are disabled."
But regardless a team of jounin is pretty irregular in and of itself. This is effectively a pretty big move from one of the major villages.
I mean, iirc, hunting down Akatsuki members didn't rate "let's send a team of four jounin after each one of them"...
 
damn, seven rolls and nothing above a 25.

this looks like an interesting option. Lets go with it.

I feel like your thinking Kakashi tier Jounin, when we've seen Leaf jounin are rather exceptional. While it's a bit unexpected,I like the new challenge

That one knows how to talk to loud ass brats. I like this one.

The dice gods do work in mysterious ways.
 
Has Rick & Morty taught you nothing, @Magoose ? Heists are the worst. :mad::p

Anyone have any idea who this is?

I can already tell I am not gonna like this mission just by the set up alone, here's hoping this blows up in their face and they get caught.

Get Jugo, find way to to obtains his power, stab some random guy and drink him to get arm back.
Or you might love this guy, it really depends on what will happen, what you hear, and the choices you make.
Nah, gonna vote to kill him the moment we are free as it is the way of this world. You can commit a war crime ( I believe this is a war crime, taking enemy combatants, threatening their lives and forcing them to commit crimes on your behalf) but you better pray the person actually dies otherwise your gonna be on the receiving end of a kuni.

Oh trust me, you will hopefully love this mission... after all, who dosen't like hiest's against your will and then finally turning the tables on them at the last second.

Well I do, because I think he will be well written.

This is lame and stupid. Are we not a talented genius with 360 x-ray vision for two miles? And the rest of the team are pretty good as well. How did all four of use get jumped like a bunch talent less scrubs? If he can afford to ambush us with that kind of talent, what do they need us for. I am not liking this at all, it seems like we are being railroaded into stupid shit.

Poison. The canonical plot convenience. Worthless unless the plot demands it to take out high level ninja.

They got caught lacking. 🤷‍♂️
 
I personally think we should amputate our arm and then use it to beat over the head with it, ultimate power move right there.

Meh never be really a big fan of the forced to do a crime cause you've got an explosive on you/ they have someone you care about as hostage plot ( kind of the reason I never went to see suicide squad). If it's a crime based story I am much more invest if it's due to the persons own choice (picking this mission doesn't count)/morality.
Like i said, you might like him, or hate him, I don't care...

Whether he's well written or not doesn't matter to me, as a player in this quest who is a very vengeful person I want him dead or wishing he was after this.

It really does feel like our eye are basically a non factor in anything that goes on these days from comedy to very serious matters . I suppose you could just hand waive it away as oh Shiro doesn't have it active but that excuse isn't gonna work forever, by the time he reaches Join I expect there to never been an ambush roll at least for when Shiro's involved as by then he'll probably be able to keep it up 24/7 365.
