Sentaku: A Naruto RP

[Hey Im Jordan]

選択

♪

“To promote friendship among allied nations and raise the bar in the art of shinobi.”

This is the stated purpose of the chūnin exams, and it has always been clear.

Participants in the exams are genin, or junior ninja, from the various shinobi villages. During the exams, all shinobi skills are put to the test, starting with a written exam and leading up to the finals — consisting of one on one combat between the people who made it through the other stages of the exams. These fights are watched by all the land’s daimyos, who use them as a gauging point for which shinobi village is the strongest.

The stronger the village, the more likely the daimyos are to come to them for work. The more daimyos come to the villages for work, the more the villages the prosper. The chūnin exams and the genin from each village are fighting for the future of their villages, not just their own pride.

In reality, the stated purpose of the chūnin exams could not be further from the truth. They aren’t a way to promote friendship among allied nations. The ninja villages use the chūnin exams as a miniature war between the nations, to prove their might to the daimyos of each nation. The chūnin exams are a battle of life and death, because the strength of a nation is derived from the strength of its village, and the strength of a village is derived from the strength of a shinobi, and a shinobi’s greatest strength only emerges in the midst of a life-or-death battle.

“To preserve the balance of power at the risk of lives is the essence of friendship in the world of shinobi.”

♪

Of course, this year’s chūnin exams are exceptionally important… there are rumblings of an organization of rogue shinobi being formed, and whichever nation looks the strongest at the chūnin exams, is sure to get the most work if there really is a ninja war on the horizon.

OOC Info:

This RP will take place in an alternate Naruto universe(essentially boiling down to no canon clans/characters will be involved), opening with the chūnin exams. All the player characters will be from Konoha, to make room for the twist planned. The twist is fairly simple; during the chūnin exams, the aforementioned ‘evil organization’ (who won’t be dissimilar to the Akatsuki) will attack.

After the attack, your characters will be faced with a choice:

They’ll have the opportunity to join the evil faction, or stay good and protect their villages. That choice will be up to you, and us GMs (@KZOMBI3 @Fabricant451 and myself) will be essentially GMing two separate factions, the group that went rogue, and the group that stayed with their villages.

Following the exams arc and the choice, there will be a 4-5 year long time skip, and the RP will pick up from there! I’m super excited for this and I hope it gathers a large amount of interest! If you have any questions, feel free to ask us.

Thank you for your interest!

What's the general power level you're looking for at both the genin/chuniin and then timeskip points?

Similar to original naruto for first part, early/late Shippuden for later?

I love Naruto setting but the biggest problem I find is that often people at later game try to turn it into a giant powers dick measuring competition xD

*Usually* end up preferring to play genin as they struggle more and that's more fun.

As an rper I really look for character power balancing because it's more fun when it's fair. And I don't mean nerfing everyone I just mean having most people in the same ballpark so that things can be interesting and aren't obviously one-sided in a fight.

Born to the Haruna Clan, Usagi is the second of her generation and the second to becoming a ninja for the Hidden Leaf village. Usagi obtained her name because a rabbit had somehow made its way into the room as she was born -- thus leading to her being named Usagi, because it was just a wee bit too perfect that a rabbit just so happened to be there. She has an older sister, named Minako, who is operating within ANBU. Her parents, Mamoru and Rei were also chuunin and medical-nin respectively. Growing up, Usagi and Minao were subjected to a large amount of expectations. Her parents had done their jobs very well, and had managed to make a name for themselves among their peers, thusly subjecting every future member of the Haruna clan to these expectations. Usagi and Minako both felt this pressure, and were immediately subjected to training to make sure they wouldn't tarnish the Haruna name that their parents had set out. Minkto, for one, had gravitated toward hunting skills, demonstrating a rather keen ability to hunt animals and humans. Usagi, on the other hand, much preferred to follow after her mother and be a medical-nin. Usagi still had an interest in offensive abilities, but she still vastly preferred to heal her comrades and make sure they were in fighting shape.

Upon acceptance into the academy, Usagi quickly made strides in her training. Her mother taught her a few tricks that she had thought up, but Rei considered it far better for Usagi to learn some of the essentials by herself, and make sure that she had solid fundamentals that would serve to be useful in future endeavors. She is generally a well liked person among her peers, but she can come off as abrasive or hot-headed at times. She means well, however.

I hope Usagi becomes an elite medical-nin. ANBU level, maybe?

There honestly isn't much to say about Shirou that would be of any interest. Born to a civilian family in the hidden leaf, his parents had hoped that he would live a normal life like them, maybe take over the family blacksmithing business, and just stay generally out of harms way. However, as it turned out, Shirou was more enamored with the shinobi who would regularly visit the store, even if he preferred to hide in the back and peak out at them. Even the Hokage, a real hero, had purchased weapons from them! It was incredible to see them, to know that there were people out there who could be depended on to protect them no matter what came! For a kid who was already beginning to feel like they wouldn't be able to achieve much, he found himself inspired by the ideals they represented.

At first, Shirou's parents had taken his wish to become a ninja as little more than a child's fantasies. However, as time went on, they began to realise he may actually be serious. This came to a head when they found him practicing with a spear he had taken from the storefront without them knowing. Naturally, they were horrified at the idea that he could have seriously injured himself, as he was still just a child. However, they were also somewhat impressed, as neither had noticed him take the weapon despite both being in the storefront at the time. So, after making sure that he was using a wooden practice spear instead of a real weapon, they began to encourage him to follow his dream, eventually enrolling him in the academy.

Unfortunately, while he did do decently in the academy, getting mostly average marks at every turn, he was never really able to make friends due to his shyness. The closest he really came, at least as far as he realises, was helping the teachers perform mundane tasks. He would have liked to make friends his age, of course, but he always had too much trouble talking to them, with a tendency to freeze up, or at the very least stutter uncontrollably until most other children just stopped trying. Even now that he's a genin in an actual team, he still feels too nervous to properly connect to his teammates. He can stutter his way through an actual conversation now at least, but whenever they train or go out on missions together, he can't help but feel like the weak link, a burden that not only can't achieve what the others can, but actively drags them down with him.

_{C H A R A C T E R D E V E L O P M E N T}

Not super sure yet, honestly. I guess I just want him to gain a little confidence and become what he wants to be, someone the people of the leaf can rely on. Not asking for the Hokage or anything, but you know, someone people can know will keep them safe.

Or, idunno, get all the other players attached to him and then kill him off in some spectacular sacrifice to make everyone else sad. That shit rocks.

@DoomFlavored

For the power level, that's a pretty accurate scale. In the exams, character power levels will be fairly similar to original Naruto, and then after our timeskip we'll look to be at early to mid Shippuden power levels (there's a longer timeskip here, so it makes sense that characters will have scaled up further). After that, it'll follow a similar scale to Shippuden, ending up on the stronger side.

We'll definitely be looking to have everyone be balanced and fairly even all the way along the scale, that I can assure you. It won't end up being about one or two main characters like Naruto ended up being.

If you want, feel free to join the discord to ask more questions and get quicker responses! :)

About a year before Suzuhime was born, at the tail-end of the war, a plucky chūnin from Konoha was tasked with an away-mission in the Land of Tea, guarding the daimyō and his family from those that would seek to do them harm. While there, said chūnin saw little-to-no combat, and had the time to, well, drink tea at his leisure, and sit in on poetry evenings, and fall deeply in love with the daimyō's daughter. But alas! They were destined to ever be apart, for he was just a scrappy ninja with no claim to fame, and she was a great name.

Three disastrous midnight rendezvous and one assassination attempt later, the man who would become Suzuhime's father (and probably already was at that point, with how the dates work out) was granted permission to court her. By the time the war ended, the Sekiguchi Clan welcomed two new members: one civilian who undeniably married down, and the other an infant Suzuhime.

Suzuhime always knew she would become a ninja, because she wanted a hideously romantic story of her own, and ninja like her father always had the best ones. Studious in the Academy, retrieving high marks in the written exams, she favoured ninjutsu and tactics over any kind of flat-out attacking. Though she struggled and stuttered her way through group activities, she had no such trouble while under a henge, pretending to be someone else; or when taking over someone's body, pretending to be someone else... There might be a trend there.

Life as a genin has treated her kindly so far, and her beloved teammates have brought her out of her shell somewhat – and have been the recipients of Too Many Baked Goods – but it's never too late to huddle back inside it and hide.

Tetsu had a very different childhood than most kids from the village. Tetsu grew up never knowing his real mother or father or if he had a clan to call his own by blood. Tetsu as far as he knows was taken in as an infant after his family abandoned him on the doorsteps of his adopted family. This, of course, left a large amount of resentment in Tetsu’s heart towards whoever his original family was and a very dark view of the world around him. On the upside of this, it has given Tetsu all the motivation in the world to train relentlessly to show that he wasn’t a mistake or something meant to be thrown away.

Of course, this was only amplified by his family at home. In all honesty, he didn’t hate his adopted family but it was always hard to feel connected when you weren’t from the same blood as your siblings. His “Father” while nice enough was always an asshole to an extent that constantly pushed him to work harder than he was, which was already too dangerous levels. Some took this as simply wanting a child to succeed but Tetsu always felt like there was more behind his constant pushing.

Of course unknown to Tetsu was his suspicions were right. Tetsu never truly belonged to the Leaf Village but was in fact born in the Sand Village to a very powerful yet small clan. Like Tetsu himself, the clan was full of Magnet Style specialists who all had an affinity for controlling a different mineral in the earth. During one of the last days of the war, Tetsu’s clan did battle with a large Leaf invasion force that left the clan massacred. Those that managed to live fled and scared across the continent leaving and infant Tetsu alone to the leaf ninja. Not finding the heart to kill the child a leaf Jonin took the child back to be taken care of.

Hagotae & Kinako Mochi decided to get into the parenting game rather early in life, or perhaps it was possibly because the mortality rate in the ninja world is abnormally high so it's better to do it sooner than later. Nonetheless, Kurimi would be the outcome of that love interaction and she was born surrounded by friends and family in the Mochi Estate of Konohagakure. Her name derives from the color of her eyes, and it also fits into the clan's naming structure. Members of the Mochi Clan are more often than not born premature, and if they aren't the babies are still typically a fair amount smaller than your average baby- and that trait follows members throughout their life. Kurimi was no different, even falling on the smaller end of the spectrum for those in her family.

She was also a quiet child. Whether it was from her loudmouthed father or her doting mother, Kurimi just doesn’t really respond to communication in a normal regard. Instead she more often than not stares blankly or offers subtle gestures or compliance to communicate with her family and peers, though when she does talk, her very soft and angelic voice would likely catch strangers off guard. Though some people would be used to the tune, such as her cousin Izayoi whom she’s known and played with since they were baby-babies.

While not every member of the Mochi clan takes the route of shinobi, it’s safe to say that the majority do. Mochi clansmen naturally just feel the call of battle, to go and fight the greater threats of the world and to protect the village— even in periods of peace. So of course the small-framed Kurimi, daughter of the clan’s patriarch, would fee a bit of pressure to take that path herself. Actually, Hagotae didn’t want Kurimi to become a kunoichi and probably would’ve rather had her take on the alternative occupation in the clan as a cook. But the young runty Mochi girl found combat to be more convenient than food preparation, and not to mention she enjoyed being around Izayoi in the Ninja Academy.

At an early age she showed promise in the arts of warfare, though where she shined the brightest was bukijutsu. Father handed her a weapon and it’s purpose sort of just came to her, and the variety of what was given factored not in the slightest as she adapted to even the strangest of weapons. The two that stuck the most with her as she found these two the most practical were the katana and the foreign dao. Meanwhile, in the ninja academy Kurimi just glides through doing the bare minimum and trying not to stand out too much - though her teachers would not allow the talented kunoichi to be complacent and lash out at her from time to time.

_{C H A R A C T E R D E V E L O P M E N T}

The main thing with Kurimi is that in her youth she doesn’t have much direction. She simply goes with the flow as she is generally happy with her life, and has a talent that gives her some general purpose to strive towards. As she ages I would like for her is to hone in on her desires and take steps to make them a reality. What this would amount to is a former slacker munchkin girl who would shy away from the spotlight really stepping up to the plate and utilizing her skills for the betterment of her peers and family.

As for general details of benchmarks I wish for Kurimi to hit along the road, I’d like for her to fully master a few different styles of kenjutsu rather specializing in one, to grow more resistant and accustomed to utilizing the Yang Release techniques utilized by her clan to a degree that makes her a fearsome combatant, and bring out the full potential of the Mochi’s hiden. Reaching those marks would result in Kurimi becoming a noteworthy member of her clan, earning the respect of her peers and father, which in turn would validate the hard work she eventually wishes to invest into her training.

• Swinga’ the Sword |
Before she even had any knowledge or sense of technique in the use of weaponry, Kurimi just seemed to pick up on bukijutsu and by association kenjutsu without any direction. At her current state she wouldn’t classified as a genius or anything of that ilk, but rather an individual with a knack for utilizing tools of destruction to wreak havoc.

• Hypermetabolism |
A trait that wouldn’t quite be classified as a kekkei genkai that is genetically passed down by the fathers of the Mochi Clan is their genetic disposition to Hypermetabolism. The condition causes the body to be in constant stress, reddening it’s the skin and hyperventilation are common side effects on the young Mochi clansmen. However, this also has beneficial effects as the body grows accustomed to the condition such as irregular amounts of thyroid hormones being produced which causes effects on the body such as: higher oxygen levels in blood along with a higher cardiac output, and more efficient catabolism which allows the body to extract more energy from nutrients for anabolic actions.

^{Hiden - Honshin-wo Arawasu}

The Mochi Clan's hijutsu is called Honshin-wo Arawasu and it forms the basis of all their clan techniques. The hijutsu allows the shinobi to tap into caloric compounds and rapidly utilize the chemical reactions within the body. Alongside this, Yang Release is utilized to alter their body anatomically in order to better utilize the strain the body is put under. As epinephrine pumps through the body and organs begin to overwork themselves the shinobi is capable of performing miraculous feats of strength and speed while the body is taxed heavily afterwards in exchange. While this seemingly would be best utilized for taijutsu, the Mochi clan tend to stray more towards bukijutsu and as such, prefer heavier hardier - heavier weapons that can withstand the strength under these effects.

The Mochi Clan techniques that branch from the original hijutsu typically involve dancing between moments of stillness and chaotic fits of violence. The fighting style is heavily inspired by Mongolian Swordsmanship which is largely based around overwhelming the opponent with constant debilitating strikes in an attempt to overpower. Activating Honshin-wo Arawasu rapidly heats the body which can cause the the body to go into shock if strenuous movements are overused, so to actively work around this- the whole style revolves around moving at immense speed and then taking breaks in combat.

Dormammu I've come to ba... ask questions.

So, my first question was something else but now I'm curious: When it says "claimed by GM" does that mean it's forbidden or is it gonna be used by GMs? Now that I typed out the question I feel like this question inevitably spoils but my curiosity is forbidding me from not asking anyways. ;c

But WAY more importantly: HOW exactly is this AU? I did read OP, of course, and my assumption is: Pre-Naruto-show lore remains but from there on it's our thing? 'cause even though I'm not an expert or anything on the show/manga, as far as I know the lore is pretty fundamentally tied to characters and certain events that kinda enable the whole world and mythos. So I just would like some clarification on that, if possible.

Hi!

In response to the first question, the kekkei genkai mentioned in the OP are the ones that we the GMs are utilizing for our characters. While they're not necessarily forbidden, you'd have to speak with the individual if you wanted to use them! i.e., if you wanted your character to have Sharingan, you'd have to discuss with me, since that's the one that I picked. Having said that, for the most part we're pretty open and will likely be able to work something out!

The second question is: it's an AU in the sense that I've pretty much changed everything. The only thing I'm planning on maintaining from the original lore is the Sage of Six Paths(even then it's so ancient it doesn't matter). Everything from then on has been changed and tweaked. I don't really like using canon characters and stuff like that, so I'm mostly trying to avoid it. I'll have a timeline of recent history up to look at when I make the OOC proper.

Hope that answers your questions alright :)
