Altered Tundra

Altered Tundra V.s yoshua171

The long journey around the world has been enlightening for Nazo. He’s always tried to keep himself away from trouble, but he always did his best to interfere in affairs that would otherwise be harmful to the weak and venerable. That’s probably why Nazo has always found himself being in the same place for longer than he would like to be. Usually, he prefers to be in the same place for no longer than a few weeks, but usually he ends up on being in one place for a few months. It happens cause people sometimes want him to stay as the defender of that village or villa. Nazo doesn’t say it, but sometimes he feels a bit taken advantage of. Though, he uses these experiences to help better himself as a human being.

Through all the places in the shinobi world, Nazo has always been quite fond of the Land of Forests. It’s so tranquil and sometimes makes Nazo miss the same serenity of his home, the Land of Iron. He finds himself in this specific place because he heard wind of a wonderful scenery in a place called Warrior’s Clearing. The legend was that the trees glisten due to the way the sunlight hits them and in the clearing, it’s been said that golden hues sparkle in the center of it all. Nazo doesn’t know much about what causes such things, but one thing he can definitely say is that he loves to see such marvels as they happen.

As he nears the Warrior’s Clearing, he finds himself going through a forest, which is exactly where it is. Walking down a path that would lead to the clearing, Nazo couldn’t help but admire the trees and all of their glory. Something about the green leaves and the brown bark on the trees spoke to him. Nazo never did know that he would be so much of a nature lover, but perhaps being out wandering the world has changed that about him. Within the first ten minutes he started walking, he could notice a clearing and the marvel of the golden hues and the sunlight hitting the trees. It was a beautiful sight to behold.

He steps into the clearing, taking a deep breath in. He lets it out and repeats this for a few more times. The air is so clean and the breeze from the leaves and the air current calm his nerves. Nazo doesn’t say anything. He just soaks it all in.

Naruto: Of Compassion and Tyranny

Anime and Comic books follow different level of power-scaling, so always comparing the two wouldn't go anywhere on either sides of the argument.

I posted finally. Hopefully I did okay. ^^;

Even with the business going on within the Great Countries, with the Empire and all that, Nazo seemed just disconnected from it all. It didn’t seem to have hit Kohona. Well, not in the major way that it has other countries. Who knows, maybe it did and Nazo didn’t notice it. If he had missed it, then it’s bound to get to his attention eventually. Whichever the case, Nazo has been just trying to live his simple life, away from all the comotion going on with the war between The Empire and the Rebellion against the Empire. As it stands now, Nazo finds himself walking from his house and heading to his job. He wears an outfit he always does. His black, sleeveless shihakusho with the hood. Though, he doesn’t have his half-mask covering his face.

As he heads down, he sees a lot of things that are in the norm. There are people roaming the streets, little shinobis-to-be roof-hopping. Yup, it definitely was like any other day for Nazo. He didn’t see nothing out of ordinary. Nearing his workplace, Nazo sort of smiled. He didn’t know why he was smiling, but he just felt a little joy in his heart. He arrived at his workplace and when he got in, he was met with a warm welcome by his boss, Jin Kuranaki. Jin was a man in his upper-40s. His presence boasted of manly bravado His short stature was not to doubt his sometimes aggressive personality. He had light turquoise hair, which was spiked. He always wears a Chinese-style outfit.

It seemed there was a special order put in by the Land of Iron for a sword that was to be made out of a special metal that only to be found in the Land of Fire. It seemed to be more common amongst the Samurai of both the Land of Iron and the Land of Fire. It was just lucky for Nazo that the metal that was needed for this special order was already in stock at the weapons forging place that Nazo works at. He took the metals, and first did a process which included melting them down to a point where he could get to mixture that would form the blade and eventually the process would go to a point where the sword would be forged into the hilt. However, that comes just a bit later.

When Nazo was about halfway done, which is about an hour since he started, Jin got up from the chair that he was sitting in.

“Nazo, I have to head out for a few days. I’m trusting you with the shop until I return.” Jin said to Nazo.

Nazo just looked at Jin. “Yes sir.” He simply said. Jin has known Nazo for a few years and he knows that his assistant isn’t much of a talker. With that, Kenji left the shop, and left Nazo with the responsibility of handling the shop.

Nazo went back to working on the series of swords that he had to for the order. This was due to be shipped to several dojos around the Land of Iron and within the Land of Fire. Nazo had to complete this order by next week, but that shouldn’t be no problem. There are about four other people who come in and work on the orders, so the progression should get to a good point.

Nazo continued with what he was doing and before he knew it, it was nearing his break. That’s where he took and decided to have a late lunch. Hopefully his favorite place will have his favorite which is Raman with everything on it and extra noodles.

Every power-up in DBZ made sense and mattered in some form until Buu Saga, and that's where the show died entirely. We don't talk about offscreen SSJ2 and 3 Goku here... not many asspulls in the Frieza and Android/Cell arcs that I recall. Bleach is boring in general.

The middle of the current arc, then perhaps maybe(that's a stretch). However, recent chapters(the last three or four) have proved to getting back to the core of things. At least, that's where I stand on things.

Kakashi was probably one of the strongest characters in the cannon but he had little chakra compared to most S rank ninja (I'm counting him as an S rank since he was nominated to be kage)

Um, no. Kakashi is A-rank. Even in part 2 of the series, he was still A-rank. Albeit high A-rank, but still A. That's not to say he's not strong, cause obviously he is, but I just do see him being a S-rank shinobi.

Good morning ^^@Tundra: Are LARPING and Tabletop similar? ^^

No not at all. LARPing is short for Live-Action roleplaying. Tabletop is more along the lines of DnD. Not sure if you knew that, but if you didn't, now you do. :3

Operation: X-Men

So, just wondering. Are we waiting for posts of Helena and Anne or from the group currently under attack? If it's the latter, then I could whip up a post here in a few.

Operation: X-Men

I present to you, your bootee. :3
