@Masaki Haruna I imagine there's a difference between 'Attack Speed' and 'Movement Speed'. It's a lot quicker to flick your wrist and swing your blade that it is to recognize the blade is coming and then move out of the way.

If Ria is slower that Rock Lee speeds by a significant margin, I can still see a workaround for Ria to still be 'fast enough'. The way I see it is maybe Ria's Chidori is more of a literal lightning blade, her sword swing/thrust getting the right amount of speed for it to be used? Like the image of a jet breaking the sound barrier, but with it bursting into lightning instead of a sonic boom. The ultimate "Stab" in simple swordplay.

(Totally not suggesting this because "holy shit Rock Lee fighting anyone other than Gaara and human paste may be made" is scary and Kei would be scared :P)

Loki, I'm talking about Tenshi that will be ripe.

@Masaki Haruna

The way I read that made me think of Hisoka talking about Gon from HunterXHunter :P

I dunno how a girl's hair would grow at belly length. Any idea how many months, weeks?

@Masaki Haruna

Depending on age? Well, teenage I'd say a year at least. Although that said my point of reference is from people with curly hair so I may be skewed, but definitely more than weeks.

8-10-ish? A month or two depending on height? Spitball guestimations all the waaaaaay!

@Masaki Haruna too dark? Is my enjoyment of Black Comedy showing too much? However without the joke about Hannibal loving insides it would have bee such a forgettable post :P

@Gowi well, no one can be the best at everything :3

Naruto: Years of Winter - an Alternate Universe

It's the insides that count.

@Masaki Haruna

Well, being a Tsundere means that all Ria's sweet gooey nice bits are on the inside, right? :3

Also something something Hannibal Lector something insides joke that I lack the true comedic skills to pull off

@BladeSS4 Plus they were bee-lining speed over all else. Kakashi was like "You're gonna be a lightning bullet. That is all" and that was the entire strategy really. It was still dumb with him matching Rock Lee, but I can see how it would happen

@Masaki Haruna@Weird Tales
For me personally, the best fight was Pain versus Naruto.

@Raijinslayer

I agree Pain vs Naruto was good, I do think that the Jiraiya vs Pain fight was what gave Pain vs Naruto the proper weight to be so good.

Honourable mentions to the Might Guy vs Madara fight. That was very cathartic

@j8cob there was a Dewa, but then it got edited out. The notifications speak legends of it :P

Then it looked like Kei just had an imaginary conversation for a bit (yay for refreshing before posting~!)

@Raijinslayer *looks at character image*
*reads character story/personality*

Nice choice. Out of curiosity, did the personality inspire the image? Or image the personality?

EDIT: Just realised how presumptuous it was, assuming either image or personality directly influenced the other. Sorry about that

God's Shattering [Concluded]

Tori

Everything was simply moving far too quickly, Tori was simply doing all she could to stay out of the more capable fighters’ way. The twins rousing themselves from their unintended slumber, Tori let her cloak drop the pair to the ground gently as they acquainted themselves with the new situation they found themselves in.

“Hello Linea and Sienna. Your mother won’t kill me at least. I don’t know who Lady Asgard is, if she’s the one being taken by slimes then, yes, you heard her. As for Alex? I do not know, I believe he was trying to escape the mob like you two were but in another direction. He is not really a concern at the moment. I spent my time realising you had run off with Nebula, I pursued. Then the cathedral you two were in crumbled, you two would probably have been crushed, or at least more crushed, if I hadn’t decided that you two really owe me and I can’t collect if you are both dead. Congratulations are in order, Sienna. You discovered one of Nebula’s functions concerning first aid.” Tori’s voice came out at a rapid clip, summarising the situation as quickly as she could, trying to run her mind through how she could help somehow. Hoisting Nebula further into her grip Tori’s brow furrowed as several ideas flashed through her head before realising that she would most likely be a hindrance.

“Do you two believe you would be able to help that slimed woman? I don’t think I can. I can phase, but not carry people as I do. I can fly, but there's a roof. I'll take any idea here. What about you Miss Beastkin? Would you be inclined to help them Or are slime creatures beneath your notice?” Tori honestly wanted to simply get out of there, but simply rushing off into the unknown dark of the sewer system with no one that could help? She’s not suicidal, she can’t fight after all.

I know a flak jacket is often a sign of a Jonin or Chunin in some cases, but I've always wondered why they don't just give everyone a flak jacket and have the color denote rank instead? A flak jacket is supposed to be armor, right? Why send your new recruits into a firefight without armor? :P
