I mean, even if it gets penalized, I have to imagine our swording ability is much better than our punching ability.
Ultimately, I guess it doesn't really matter, it was just something that needled me.
The PC felt that even C-class taijutsu was enough to get her through the forest against ordinary opposition, so no point drawing her sword.
Just like she simply copied other people's work in the Exam instead of trying to solve it herself.
I like Hiruzen's characterisation here.
Thanks.
Canon or non-canon?
10 xp to assign as you wish.
If it applies BEFORE the fight with Orochimaru, add to Chakra Capacity.
If after the fight, Iryojutsu.
 
Noncanon Omake: a special girl
AU universe Omake:
once upon a time in a town of wonderful butterfly flower plants (TRees), there lived a habby little bunny who aspired to become a ninja. to do so, she must pass the rigorous trials of extreme fightyness, namecalling, stealthing and sword wielding. along her journey of awesomeness, she met two wonderful boys and a lazy teacher man scarecrow, who liked to read naughty books and remenisced about times long passed (Not really).

this girl was in particular a special girl, one who was gifted with powers to wake up from death (BY the dreaded truck-chan, no less) and travel into distant worlds. not only did she wake up in a life unimportant, she left one behind that was equally so, completing the circle of rebirth. she often wondered to hersel 'why was i chosen?', but nobody answered.

one day, she was sat in a tree which was thorny and large, but equally smoothly rounded, like a giant had attacked it with an industrial sander ina rage. she was remeniscing, you see, about her life in the before times, when things whetre much more simple and less killy.

"HEY SASUKE, HOW ARE YOU." She murmered quietly, eyes looking into the pink distance (PINk because it was sunset Lol XD)

"Hn", He replied, stoically.

In response she gasped aloud, taken aback by his unfeeling words. how could he betray her like this at her most vulnerable, when she had been the one to help him these past ears?!

"HOW COU:LD YOU COUSIN< I THOUGHT WE WERE FRIENDS???!!!XD" SHe replied.

In GRIEF and anger, she could think only of to do one thing - , plunge her sword into the front side of an attacking ninja, who was about to sneak atack her.

"WWHA!!!???" She exclaimed, clearly caught off guard by this event.

Despite her origional intention remaining purely harmless (She only wnated to flail her sword in anger, damn it!), She could not believe it to discover that she'd impaled a sneaky ninja, who was sneaking on them silently. And sneakily.

The mysterious hooded figure (IT could not be sen until now), chose that moment to reveal themselves. "MWAHHAHAHAHAHAHA" He cackled, leaning his head back in rapturous comedy. "IT is me, TOBY!!!!!!!1!!"

The girl and her frienc could only stare in devestation. this man who they had known for months now (I think lol), this man who'd nurtured them through times of stress, had turned out to be the infamous toby, who they'd herd of a yeart ago by the hokage.

"KAKASHI, HOW COULD YOU BETREY US LIKE THIS!!!???!!!?!/1/??"

"Hn"

The Impaled man could only laugh again in response, though. "HAHAHAH, you thought you could get away with your crimes!!???", he continued to monologue, reaching up to remove his facemask (IT was under his hood)

With perfect timing, the intruder tore of his facade, revealing his true self to the workd; a pale face with a facemask, eye scar, sisintestted experssion and shiny bowlcut black hair.

"YOu shEE, CHILDreN, I, KAkashi Hatake HAvedecided to cut my hair like GAI's, in rebelion for authority.

THAt was when anothe masked man called naruto jumped down fron the sky and cut his head ff, declaring: "I Only Eat Ramen, And You Artte Not Ramen, So You Must Die!!"

"Hn"

(THe end)

Did we do something to you?
 
Don't forget the Kakashi bashing and the manipulative Hiruzen. :V

To be fair, Hiruzen wouldn't have remained the Hokage for as long as he did with the likes of Danzo so close to him, if he didn't have a manipulative bone in his body. He's been a leader for a long time, and you kinda need to know how to manipulate others to avoid being manipulated, especially when the OTHER leaders, for the most part, hate your guts.

That being said, the problem with the cliche is not that it's MANIPULATIVE Hiruzen, but that it's more like 'retarded, baby-eatingly evil and laughably incompetent at his supposed manipulation' Hiruzen.

I wonder... Can Tekomandor take away XP because of omakes? :V

Yeah people give him way to much shit in fanfics. He was the leader of the village through three wars, he was done when he gave Minato the hat and was ready to spend the rest of his life with his wife. He had achieved the impossible, a golden ending to his ninja career and a peaceful retirement. Then suddenly in one night the biggest tragedy hits the village, killing his successor, his wife, a lot of the standing forces, and putting him back into the position that he didn't want anymore. His second reign had one bad thing after another that he really shouldn't have had to deal with and probably handed more control than he should have over to Danzo to compensate.
 
Honestly, i'm not sure how good of an idea my omake idea was to begin with. i started reading this quest at 11:00 yesterday night, and proceeded to blast through it in one sitting for several hours until 8:00am. By the time i got to the last update i was tired, ill (Due to a cold i'd received prior) and paranoid over the potential consequences of this vote. As a result, i became desperate for any inspiration to strike me whatsoever, but in my feeble state that may have been counterproductive over all. The result was this monstrosity, and i would not be opposed to deleting it if people desire, since it was evidently unhelpful and at worst damaging to the quest's survival.

To be frank, i just wanted to provide you all extra XP and knew with certainty at the time of writing, that i would be unable to do so with normal omakes (Mainly due to my tired and wandering mind). Back then (Since i had no idea what the update schedule was), i was afraid that if i waited too long and created a standard quality omake, i might miss my chance to post - Thus dooming us to death by Orochimaru.

However, i am willing to make amends by writing one or more normal omakes in the future, in case we lose XP due to my blunder. I apologise to everyone.

Hey, hey, calm down, I was joking. I've written intentionally terrible omakes myself, you have nothing to apologize for.

I'm sorry, I thought you were invoking 'So Bad it's Good.' and rather successfully at that. If I'd known that was a genuine attempt I would have kept my mouth shut.

Nah, it was a genuine attempt at 'so bad it's good', which i chose to do due to imagined time constraints and my sleep deprivation. However, peoples comments that it could dock points made me feel guilty about my decision to post in that genre, despite knowing the potential consequences.

Even though i ended up with a semi-successful attempt at the desired effect, i ended up regretting it due to the ramifications it could have down the line for the quest - Hence, my decision to create legitimate omakes in the future as repentance.

Again, that was totally a joke on my part, hence the ":V" emoticon. Your omake entertained me, and I very much doubt that points will be removed for it.

Well allow me to reassure you. We will not lose xp for this. The incident I mentioned was a joke on Mazricks part and he made up for it by replacing the xp in the upcoming update.
And besides. Never regret writing awful crack . I know I don't.
