[OOC] Naruto: Of Compassion and Tyranny

[Piercing Light]

waiting for Soleaccord to post a temp, I'll start the RP after that.

[ruronihs]

Challenge: Give me any power, and I will think of a practical application of it to make a character overpowered. I am allowed to use any tools within reason, and may make a maximum of one minor modification to the power presented.

[AeronFarron]

...IT'S A TRAP!

[chukklehed]

You're a trap

[yoshua171]

Tetsujin, Iyana has been edited with her new jutsu and such and is ready to be reviewed.

[Yog Sothoth]

[AeronFarron]

AeronFarron said

Thank you, Yosh, at least someone said what was needed. I was scrutinized for having like... 4 custom Genjutsu that had simple application methods. Tuuj comes along with Ra an her arsenal of spammable Genjutsu that are applied with a literal wave of her hand and gets accepted. Also I was told I cannot layer custom Genjutsu? Can I hope to see to it that our GM staff is fair here and will impose the same limitation on Ra, who is MUCH more dangerous than Seijuro in terms of the Genjutsu department?

Because I had the authority and was asked to do so by the leader because he didn't have time to. Tuuj's character was basically reviewed by the leader alone. Your activation was just 'look at me/look at them' so I'm not sure you can dog anyone out for 'wave of hands'. Plus we didn't like your history. If you guys would just take our word for it when we say we're keeping a close eye on troublesome templates, then we could stop arguing about it here.

we're not arguing, we are just voicing our opinions and possible concerns, we are allowed to do that in the OOC as long we aren't fighting or insulting each other.

Good thing I wasn't quoting you or anyone else but Lyfe when I said to stop worrying about volatile templates.

*brandishes a cleaver* I'MM HAVING TAKOYAKI!

[Masaki Haruna]

Why don't we all stick with one temp?
Izari, kimochi warui. :p

[Piercing Light]

That's all well and good really, I'd just prefer issues that are already taken care of not be brought up again, like Lyfe bringing up Ra, when I already stated the problem was resolved. I don't want any animosity in here, and that's all that can be taken from that. Also he's busy working on the other temp, so I don't want anything to distract him from it here.

Edit: Hey hey hey, there will be no tentacle molestations here. we gotta keep this clear for all audiences.

[Masaki Haruna]

Since I'm Switzerland, might as well keep an eye on Izari and Natsumi.
Will be making either a rebel or an empire oc.

The power of Post-Timeskip Sakura.

why do you want to keep an eye on Izari?

The power of Post-Timeskip Sakura.

Easy. Sakura demonstrated the ability to extract Sasori's poison with a medical Jutsu. My minor modification is reverse it. Instead of taking pathogens out of the body, she puts them into the body. Now, being a medical expert, it is reasonable to assume she knows a crapload about different poisons a ninja may use. She could literally pick any poison in the universe for my plot, but let's make her the one who knocks and go with ricin, or a fantasy equivalent that would exist in the Naruto-verse. Sakura is a doctor, well respected across multiple villages, and has the support of the Hokage. Here's how she'll wipe out an entire teams of Jounin like nothing: give them a checkup. During the checkup she would inform the patients that she detected a minor pathogen and could use her poison removal technique to take it out. However, she's really putting in the ricin. A few days later, our team of hyper-elite Jounin are sick. This is reasonable since they have been working together and it is likely that they would spread any bugs between them. They go to see Sakura, but it is too late. They die while she is administering "emergency treatment." Anybody who is suspicious would quickly be shot down by the Hokage because Tsunade knows the limits of medical ninjutsu all too well. With this application of medical ninjutsu, Sakura is more powerful than entire teams of elite Jounin. Definitely OP. It would take somebody immortal, like Hidan, to survive something like this, but those guys are overpowered in their own rights.

Now, let's up the anti and go with pre-timeskip Sakura.

If the writers had felt like it, they could have made her pretty sick. Her most notable achievement was answering every question on the Chuunin exam without cheating, which were questions that were designed to be so hard that no prospective Chuunin could reasonably answer them. From the musings of the characters, we can tell that these questions consisted at least of geometric calculations and encryption. We also see Sakura's ability to construct traps in the forest of death. So, she has super-studying abilities, excels at geometric calculations, likely involving Newtonian mechanics, and the craftsmanship to carry out those ideas. She was able to construct basic traps while exhausted, starved, dehydrated, beat up, and ill-equipped with no time for forethought. It was essentially improv. Imagine if she was given time to prepare. She also exhibits another remarkable trait that can be used to amplify her already genius-level prowess in this field: shounen-protagonist level willpower. She defeats Ino's soul transfer technique, not by outwitting her, not by manipulating chakra, but by using brute-force willpower to force her out of her body. This is a feat that is unprecedented in Naruto.

So, I have a genius trap-master with insuperable willpower. My minor modification is using this brute force willpower to force her mind to focus on devising traps. The effect would be something like in Phi Brain, where a smart person achieves god-like levels of intellect. However, unlike Daimon Kaito, she would use this power to create elaborate death traps. The tools at my disposal will be all standard canon Naruto equipment, a forest (not outlandish in the Naruto universe; if Shikamaru gets one, then it's fair for me to give one to Sakura.), and preparation.

A team enters Sakura's forest as she stands in the middle entering her hyper-mind state. She has rigged the forest with layer upon layer of traps. Poison, explosions, blades, noxious smoke, you name it. Some are designed to be triggered by the team's movement. They are carefully hidden so as not to be detected, but this is part of the plan. She will use the noise of the traps to determine her enemy's location and also know the best way to counteract it. She will know where her enemies will go before her enemies do and will be able to trigger additional layers of traps on command from her position at the center of the forest. Essentially, her hyper-mind allows her to achieve a level of focus that can manipulate people into impossible scenarios without even getting within 100 feet of them. Pretty OP for a genin if you ask me.
