@Buddha wow. Team Kishi/Generation have some heavy responsibility don't they?

@McFazzer

@LokiLeo789I regret thinking I would be fine with only offensive ninjutsu

@pkken

Have the other sarutobi engage Dio for using ninjutsu on their grounds, thinking it's an enemy and not just two kids fucking around. :B

Naruto: Years of Winter - an Alternate Universe

Well this is what happens when I start feeling creative and go right into something. Character Ideas run through my head. So I put a character together. In all honesty I thought ANBU were at least low as chunin level when I was thinking the character up. Its not often in canon they went into the ANBU, unless they were dealing with the ROOT. Or dealing with Uchiha storyline stuff, or Obito/Kakashi storyline stuff.

@BladeSS4

It's an easy mistake to make, and I would be fine with having someone of chunnin tier be in the ANBU, as long as they were on the Jounin side of things, not the genin side.

The problem is; we have no intention of making any currently relevant plots for the ANBU. No missions to involve them in, or such, as the focus are on our teams of chunnin / genin and jonin.

@Team Kaido;

Kaido's assasisins will attack you guys, defend yourselves, they'll get the element of surprise on you, and they'll fight using their swords, taijutsu and water ninjtusu. You're free to take them down however you wish.

Uchiha Kaido

The Uchiha Grounds - Side Hall.

In the open area of the hall, Kaido was working out, like he did every morning. Push-ups and pull-ups, shadow boxing and all kinds of stretching. None of his peers were awake, or avaiable to spar at this time of the morning - nor did most care to spar with Kaido, he always ended up taking things too seriously, unable to properly distinguish from sparring and real combat. Taharu learned that the hard way when Kaido cut his face open last year in a sparring session. He was intrigued with his new assignment today - he would lead a team. That in of itself wasn't new to him, he had been in charge of many missions in the past, but never had he been put in the mentor position like this. It would certainly be interesting for him to try his hand at teaching.

The Third Hokage had summoned him, admitting to her being the one sitting in that office hurt a little, sure, she was older and more experienced than him, and that was in the end what she won on, but he was a man who's entire life had been about unity – he had put off war between two mighty clans in the village, possibly preventing a civil war. He was a hero, and he'd be damned if people didn't respect that.

His thoughts circled around the day ahead as he finished his workout, wiping sweat off of himself, he got dressed in his black shirt and his green flack jacket with it's high collar, fixing his necklace to hang on the outside of the vest.

He quickly made his way to the Kage's office, no time for breakfast today, he worked best on an empty stomach, helped him focus. Comfort was for the weak, and all that.

Kaido reached the office, and was called with the other two, lead in by one of the Kage's aides. He looked at Kishimoto, a slight frown on his face. It upset him that someone who once was the strongest man in the village – perhaps the world – was now nothing more than walking propaganda why landmines are bad. Yet, he still deserved respect, for his worthy sacrifice during the war. Kaido bowed deeply in front of Kishimoto, looking down at the floor. ”Good morning, Kishimoto-Sama.” He adressed him, earning a soft smile of approval, before turning to the other Jonin, Osuushi Senhime, a foreigner. He didn't trust her, not one bit.

He acknowledged her with a nod.

He turned to the third and gave her a smaller bow than he had to Kishi. ”Third.” He simply said, waiting for his file. Was was given 'Team Trouble' They called them. A couple of troublemakers, incapable of taking shinobi life serious – kids, not soldiers. And he was put in charge of changing that. And one of his students was a rather exemplary Hidden Leaf soldier, the will of fire was strong in her, a little inspiring, in fact. He would have to whip all three of them into shape, however, and he knew just how. A grin creeped up on his face as he did, excusing himself and bidding the other three in the room farewell, adressing all three of them with the proper honorifics.

He left as quickly as he had entered, to devise his plan. He read up properly on all of his students – every report that he could get his hands on, to get a extensive basis of knowledge on them. He liked doing his homework.

The same sly grin creeped up on his face, as he made handseals while standing on top of the roof of one of the buildings, and his body was shrouded in a thin veil of water, and soon, 3 identical copies of him stood before him. All three of them transformed into masked warriors, wearing balaclavas and proper war gear, ninjatos and kunai in their hand, as they emerged to attempt their assaination of Kaido's students, using their Silent Killing techniques to avoid detection from others, while they hunted down their marks.

Sarutobi Ira

Ira had woken up bright and early, like he did everyday. His morning routine was rigorous training, exercise and a nice hot shower and a warm meal prepare for him by the servants at the Sarutobi household. He was wearing his usual grey coat, black tank-top and grey pants with black boots, his forehead protector strapped to his arm. He had been told that he would be meeting his sensei today, thanks to his family in the Sarutobi Clan.

His father sat down on the other end of the table, next to him. Wearing a grey coat, similar to Ira's, but longer with thunder patterns at the bottom. "Morning, Father." Ira told his father, whom grinned. "Morning, my son. Excited for today?" He asked and Ira nodded his hand. "Yeah, I am. I wonder who's gonna be my leader. I hope it's something strong, that I can learn a lot from." He mentioned, peering at his father.

"You know I've given up training students a long time ago." Hashi told him with a rough laugh, Ira smirked. "But I know your sensei's someone even better than me."

"Surely, you jest, father." Ira retored in disbelief.

"No, you should head out, probably to the town square, and wait for them to find you. If they don't, go check at the Kage's office, i've been told they'll be waiting for you there."

Ira blinked twice, trying to grasp what he was hearing. There was a chance. The normally well composed boy scrambled from the table, almost tripping over his chair as he bolted for the Kage's office, leaving his father behind in the house laughing roughly.

Ira darted as quickly as he could through the town, arriving in sight of the Kage's office only a few minutes later, only to hear comotion at the local ramen place, something about a woman had dragged two ninja off. He got closer, only to find the Lady Hokage herself there. He walked up to a bystander, still a few meters away from the hokage - whom was out and about, an unusual sight, honestly.

"Pst. What's going on."

"She told some chunnin to go fetch her a young genin. Uh, Ida, I think his name was."

"Out of my face." Ira retored, his composure back, as he gently pushed the man, walking towards the Hokage. "I heard you summoned me, Lady Hokage. Has something tragic happened to my sensei?" He asked, kneeling in front o the woman, whom for all intents and purposes, was the most imporant person in this entire village - even more so than himself and his father.

Is it weird that when I got to the climax of naruto when they are fighting kaguya that I just stopped watching it

@pkken

I usually also stop after climax.

Naruto: Years of Winter - an Alternate Universe

<Snipped quote by Masaki Haruna>
I don’t know what Buddha’s ruling on this, but when I ran a similar RP I went by the theory that only one (dojutsu) kekkei genkai would come out genetically— basically you only have one even if genetically you descend from two clans who both hold such kekkei genkai. It makes no sense to me to have both— one would or should overwrite the other. Recessive vs Dominant genes and all that.

@Gowi

Like Buddha said, Kaido doesn't have either. But, I agree with what you're saying. You'd have one or the other. Perhaps a mutation on one taking on the traits of the other. Sharingan with 360 degrees vision, or Byakugan that can predict moves. Not that it's relevant. I made Kaido Uchiha - Hyuuga in order to build up expectations for him to have a crazy KG, only to give him none.

Naruto: Years of Winter - an Alternate Universe

Kishi post done. Will do Kaido and Ira tomorrow.

Now, sleep.

Naruto: Years of Winter - an Alternate Universe

Eiichiro Kishimoto

The day started like most others, him waking up, kissing his wife and getting out of bed. A quick shower and a shave were in their place, huddling along on his one leg, he was wearing only his undergarments and a tanktop when he stepped out of the bathroom, his wife sat on the bed, smiling, her hand on her stomach. Kishimoto smiled at her, and they traded words, hopes for the baby, but also about the fact that this wasn't an ordinary day for him. He was gonna become a jonin again - captain of a team. It had been almost twenty years since he did that last. Juri smiled, as he sat down on the bed next to her, she laid her hands on his left shoulder, feeling where his arm had once been, her hands began glowing, using her medical ninjutsu to dull the pain he felt in what remained of the arm. He got dressed, in his black net shirt, and a nice red kimono and warm pants. He put on his single ninja tabi, while others thought it was rather cold outside today, he found it rather refreshing in his leg.

He and Juri had breakfast together downstairs, having delightful chat, Juri had to go out before him, an early surgey at the hospital. They kissed each other goodbye, Kishimoto hunching down and kissing her stomach before she left the house. He grabbed his crutch and headed up the stairs into his study to spend the time he had left before he had to leave reading. Old reports from his time in the hokage's office that he spent his time reviewing, thinking to himself that he'd become a better ninja if he kept learning from the village's past.

Soon, the clock would be enough, and he set out to go see The Third. He headed into the busy streets of Konoha, still happy to see people out and about, still not able to quite grasp the fact that the cold winter was past them, and that a new chapter of the village was starting. He looked up at the mountain side of the village, where the face of his surrogate father was carved in - his own, nor the thirds had not gotten this treatment yet, it was rather low on the priority list, and he was against either of them being put in the same light as the first, he believed it would undermine the greatness of the First.

He mused as the huddled around, his white coat covered up his stump, both on the arm and the leg, and most of his crutch, he could walk rather seemlessly with the crutch, keeping up with everyone else around him - far more able bodied than himself. He soon arrived at the Hokage's Office. A place full of memories. Most were tough times, but he had some good memories here, too.

Entering the Hokage's office, a sense of nostaligia washing over him everytim he did so. He couldn't quite shake the feeling. The place was different under the third, a different aura was in the air. The air felt easier like everyone weren't on the top of their toes at all time, waiting of the next attack from enemies, or the next battleground to be chosen. It was calming, really.

Even if Mawari - The Third, was far from a calm woman. She greeted him, Kaido and Senhime, both of which were excellent jounin, Kaido was a man in search of political pursuit, and Senhime was a immigrant. He didn't agree with either on them on everything, and they had their fair share of differences, but he respected both of them, and he would put his life, and the fate of the city in either of their hands.

She presented them with their teams. Kaido gracefully left once he had been briefed, that man's efficency was matched by none. Kishimoto was given a team of three Genin, as such, the odds of them seeing heavy combat was slim. A sigh of relief, with a hint of disappointment and maybe even a slight bit of bruised Ego escaped him. He was sure the Third had nothing but the best intentions for him, for him to not strain himself teaching these children, yet, he couldn't help but feel a little underwhelmed that she stuck him with the newbies.

He wasn't going to pout about it, though, instead, he was surprised at the revelation that Mawari-San would be teaching a squad all on her own. "I see you're tending to the concerns of the Sarutobi and Hyuuga, huh. A Hookage leading a team's without precedent. A play I'd expect from Kaido, not you, Third. There might be a politician in you after all." He complimented with a grin. "I'll make sure to do my best to train these genin with my ever so gentle, but firm hands. Make soldiers Konoha can be proud off. Good luck to you, Third."

He huddled out of the room, down the stairs - a Chunnin ran into him, the chunnin was older, one of the ones who had been a clerk in the kage's office when he was in the office above. "O-Oh! I'm so sorry Lord Kisihmoto!" He said, trying to lend Kishimoto a hand to help him down the stairs. The former Hokage smiled softly at him. "It's quite all right, Ibu. No harm done. How's the family?" He asked, and the embarassed Chunnin smiled at him. "The wife is great, the kids are growing up so fast! I heard Juri's expecting, too? Congratulations!" Ibu said, patting him on his shoulder. Kishimoto smiled.

"She is. The family's getting bigger. Honestly more worried about a pregnant Juri than I ever was of enemy forces." He laughed roughly. "Actually, Ibu, if you're not too busy, could you lend me a hand with something?" He asked, and Ibu froze for a second - realizing what the Second had just said. "I- uh.. Yeah, sure!"

"Can you call my three genin students to come meet me out at the Lake on Training field 4?" He said, handind Ibu the folder, and Ibu nodded. "Y-Yes, Lord Kishimoto-sama!" He said, bowing deeply. Kishi smiled. "It's just Kishi now. Just another vest now." Ibu smiled sheepishly, before he went to gather the three genin.

Kishimoto huddled off to the market to get himself some supplies for his meeting with the genin.

Naruto: Years of Winter - an Alternate Universe

Hello, I've been looking for an RP like this one. If you haven't already reserved what look to be two open spots, I would like to throw a character together and join you all if at all possible.

@Aegis1650

Go for it.
