Aoi Don Maquia

---

Shifting from one foot to the next, Daisuke would only feel his head release from Aoi's almost unnoticeable weight as she danced around to train herself now of all times. She completely zoned Daisuke out when she focused on her new endeavor which consisted in making the most shapes with her silhouette as she kept her balance. Eventually her now Kohai would demand some form of payment for the mission, but Aoi remained adamant toward her little performance on top of his head. It would only be when the grumpy looking Akimichi would show up and inquire their presence for something she didn't quite know about. She could only assume she'd have to help setting stuff up with that ugly man, but now she wanted to perform, prompting a frown from the little clown.

"Bleh, he smells bad, Dai-Kohai~"

She'd express to Daisuke with a weak, whispering voice so the obese man wouldn't catch on to her blatant disrespect. She'd eventually hop off her trusty steed and keep up with the general pace while staying in front of the man she now considered to be her Kohai, and she'd grab any possible opportunity to express this new luxury she was offering to herself. The harlequin felt a wave of power, of dominance but mostly of importance when she'd take the spot of Senpai toward the guy she until recently considered her senior. It felt like she accomplished something that many couldn't, or at least had a harder time doing. She'd stop dead on her tracks for a brief moment, indicating a desire for the young man to halt before she'd poke his bulging chest with her index finger repeatedly.

"Now now! Let's be sure about one thing, Dai-Kohai! We're going to consider this as ... Community service! Yeah, we're good citizens after all~ That and we gotta show a gratitude to the Akimichi for offering us such a nice BBQ! Don't be too greedy Kohai, I've taught you better than that!"

A impish grin formed on her face as she was somewhat provoking Daisuke at this point, though she didn't expect it to have much impact on him given how silly she'd look when they were compared in size. That and he overall silly attitude simply cut her credibility when she got slightly more agitated with her amount of power. She then follow the Akimichi a little more before zoning out, again, when she'd see the stage being set up by various men. Orders were a non-factor at this point as she rushed to the stage and swiftly made herself familiar to the whole place, tinkering with the amps and various disconnected mics. Eventually she'd hook one up to the machinery and walk up to the front of the stage. She'd start off by poking the mic before actually testing the thing.

"Ahem~ Testing. One, two, three! Blah blah blaahhhhhhhh!"

The sound was strong, maybe a little too strong, but she liked it that way. Various individuals looked at her rather awkwardly, most of them wondering what she was doing there when nothing had started yet. It didn't matter to Aoi however, as attention no matter how bad it could be was potential new fans for her to entertain! She'd proceed to practicing a few basic gymnastic moves on the stage that was still being built over her head.

Fujitora Choko ; The Overseer

---

Pleased by the feral woman's reaction to her newly acquired promotion, Fujitora grinned in complete joy. Swiftly he'd nab a champagne bottle stored in Zeno's old drawer and popped the lid off as soon as possible as if this was some sort of festivity. She wanted beer, but instead would get one of the worst headaches the next morning if she were to force on the bottle there. Serving three cups of the luxurious product, everyone currently in the room was served with some top quality, cheers worthy champagne. Lifting his glass up in the air, he was ready to propose a toast to the new Jonin commander, the dog they had thrown in a treat to keep in almost complete control. The way she practicably wagged her tail at the sight of reward satisfied Fujitora quite strongly. He considered her a person, a friend, but he was the best placed to assert as what she truly was: An animal.

"To Tsukiko's promotion, as batshit insane of a decision as it may be! To a long and prosperous care- Hmmm? I'll get it don't worry."

When he was to finish his little declaration, Ayame's office door was being repeatedly knocked on, prompting the ex commander to take the initiative instead of the nearby 11th Corp agents. As she arrived before the door and reached out to open it, the person behind it would have already seized the chance to opening it by themselves. The blonde man froze before her, peering down for a longing five seconds, unsure what to make of this woman's presence here of all times. After a prolonged analysis, he'd scoot his imposing figure to the side and briefly bow in respect to the ambassador.

"Why hello Miss Tenchi, you're just in time for Tsukiko's decoration. Have a seat and join us!"

He welcomed her the best he could despite knowing full well she wasn't here to do casual chit chat and fruitless political discussions. He could only guess what her issue was at this point, and he frankly didn't quite know what to do about the situation himself despite his position. Walking her over to the seat he had left vacant, he gestured her to take his place as he'd simply stand like the gentleman he'd attempt to be. After all he was the only man in the room. He didn't stop there, she'd also get the chance to have a little champagne with the trio, they weren't going to halt the festivities for an unexpected guest of all things.

"Ahem, so I was saying that ... Um ... Yeah just don't break the new office windows please. Cheers!"

And with the typical lifting of his glass, he'd then drink the content. The fizz in the alcoholic drink made him cringe just a little before he'd revert his attention to the probably confused ambassador. He could only harness a guess as to what she was thinking of them at this point. Cold blooded murderers, sadistic psychos feasting on her inevitable misery by making such a surreal scene, or better yet she was going to be sacrifice made to send a very strong message to Kiri as an act of war. Of course, tensions were at an all time low at this point making it all the more humorous to Fujitora.

"So, Miss Tenchi, what brings you here all of a sudden? I assume there isn't any problems regarding the recent trade agreements regarding goods of luxury? Tenjiro almost threatened embargo for some reason. Crazy man he is, huh?"

He asked with a slow and casual tone, trying to ease the inevitably worry the young girl would feel around all these confirmed killers and lethal idealists who of course didn't hesitate to kill the Hokage in front of the entire shinobi force. He leaned against the nearest wall, completely convinced there wasn't going to be much violence, no matter the subject of the confrontation.

@knighthawk You do as you please, the thing that made him a target because he was somewhat of a special snowflake was just farfetched in the current political climate. The char is good if you've edited the technical parts (which I'll check anyway)

@TheUnknowable Look up Narutopedia on the internet. I recommend gathering knowledge on Shippuden a bit because you kind of gave us a clusterfuck of abilities that even a Sonic Fanfic wouldn't put. Don't take it badly, it's evident that you're behind the current references we're using. But you will have to grow accustomed to what Naruto currently is before pitching a Frankenstein of various techniques main protagonists have (boring). I also recommend looking at the techniques of other characters so you can get an idea of what we're going for.

Naruto: Path to Enlightment. Looking for fresh meat!

@knighthawk Why would there be less in the mist? It's pretty modern there after 200 years of progressing peace. I'm okay with there being violence but with all these international relationships, it is common sense that Kiri would want to be more in the norm with its international friends to avoid public outrage. It's more 'modern'.

tbh there aren't 45 chuunin and 3 isn't that big either but it's a strangely recurring thing that for some reason the bastard brats are still running around like medieval times when things evidently progressed, whether it is how they engage in fucking and mentalities in general. It's fine in itself, it's just 'Strike three', ya know. Wait why would they want to kill the bastard kid of the Mizukage? Kage status isn't by nepotism unless earned and elected. He has no inheritance to the throne and poses 0 threat to it.

Also the Mizukage you mention actually goes well with Yoru's Mizukage.

Naruto: Path to Enlightment. Looking for fresh meat!

@knighthawk Chihiro Hyuuga, Akio Tendou and now your character are bastards.

The first post clearly states it's an era of peace where shinobi action isn't as present. Kiri is not an exception.

Naruto: Path to Enlightment. Looking for fresh meat!

Katsu Hyūga

(Yes I am taking over for Anna until she returns)

---

The first one to arrive was Giichi Uzumaki, a pretty outspoken boy to say the least, at least that's what Katsu would have observed after the events one week ago. He wasn't scared to get himself killed for what he believed in, but it could very well be because he was young and the blonde child would eventually mellow out of this phase. Katsu stayed hopeful to this kind of behavior however, the world needed more people like this, ready to stand up for what they believed and insure a better place for the future generations. As much as the Hyuuga appreciated Fujitora and the approval he gave, he couldn't hide the despair brought upon by the Choko from himself. He still had a hard time coping with it. Nonetheless, he'd smile at the boy for a brief moment before simply peering down at the frowning boy expressing his rather extreme views on how to deal with the problem he envisioned. Katsu didn't say a word, he didn't have anything to say about nor would it be wise to at this moment.

With that small pause the Minamoru heir finally arrived as well, making the wait not as excruciating as he'd expect. His cigarette was already half finished and there was still one missing, however the historical and political charged conversation did keep things entertaining. Finally, Tatsuya arrived and things could finally get started. The Hyuuga gave them a moment to say hello and mess around, the time it would take for him to dispose of the cig before affirming himself.

"You're all here, great. You've all read the briefing so I don't have to remind you the name of the artifacts I barely remember. I like to keep things simple and avoid any conflicting situations that way we can all go home and labor away another day. I do have one request before we depart."

He'd say as he'd turn around to face the masses of trees that still surrounded the now highly urbanized megalopolis, acknowledging the beauty that was the Hidden Leaf despite its drastic change in climate. He'd turn his head enough so that he could eye the lads at the corner of his eye.

"We will not discuss anything involving Konoha's political orientation or the Choko issue during this operation. Understood?"

With that established, he'd immediately jump away like the typical shinobi and took the path he had already selected to reach the client's meeting point as quick as possible. This kind of hastened and no bullshit method seemed to be what Fujitora rubbed off him, expecting others to have the cognitive capabilities to follow despite a lack of direct order. Katsu was afraid that something would explode regarding politics in Konoha, especially with the diversity of his team. Yamato was for this new system from what he could understand but the Hyuuga knew full well what Fujitora thought of that lineage. Giichi already marked himself as a potential noise maker and Tatsuya had origins that could even make the clansmen of Konoha nervous, no matter what position he'd take in this tension.

"If you boys have an analysis of the method we should take, say it as we travel, I won't improvise when we arrive."

Gian
-
A New Best Friend

The Ruined Scenery

---

Gian tilted his head as he fully acknowledged Gin's dive into despair as he exposed his inner thoughts about his current predicament. Who could blame him, he was tortured and forgotten by the nation that he trusted. Then again, he had no idea where he himself was nor what actually happened to that place he called home. The irony was quite humorous for Gian, both sides unaware and equally brought to a level of apathy that could simply be avoid with a little information. But the flashy looking jester knew better, plus all of this was of course linked in some way, so it wouldn't be hard for someone of Gian's caliber to twist any interpretation of this into his favor.

The melodrama of Gin's explanation made the man grin visibly enough for the wasted young man to see the jester's contempt. To the Keihatsu executive, this was good, Gin had indeed submitted himself to this mild torture with his background weighing as a major toll to his conscience. The man's tilted head would then have its neck crack as the he'd straighten himself slightly with the key still spinning on his index finger. Snickering at Gin's response, he'd then reply.

"Ahaha~ Betrayal. My friend, as a shinobi, we all live this kind of stuff at varying degrees at one point or another, unless you're some guard duty chickenshit."

The jester stood and made his way around the strapped Gin, fiddling with the small key as he took his time to circle the boy before halting behind the white haired lad. The shadows made it extremely difficult to notice any movement, plus the omnipresent pressure applied by Gian's overwhelmingly strange presence accentuated even more the burning sensation on his open wounds. The peak of that pain would be when the man simply set his hand on the young man's shoulder, the pain and nausea becoming unbearably strong for something devoid of any strength or fortitude at this point.

The jester squeezed the shoulder just a bit as if it were some form of massage gesture as he'd kneel down to insert the key in the shackles of Gin's feet. Slowly he turned the lock and the soothing release of the boy's ankles would sooth him from this endless pressure he was mercilessly subjected to.

"But as they say ... It came with the territory. Now you may wonder why I'm releasing you when it's clear that wasn't the great thing we had in common. You see, I'm feeling generous, especially with the shit Monzaemon there put you through. See it as consolation."

By keeping the hand on the boy's shoulder, he'd lift himself back up so he could undo the chains on wrists as well, giving Gin the freedom he was robbed from for more than a week now. Gin was free to get up, walk around, fight, run away, or at least attempt. There were to chains to keep him still, but there was a massive presence that was Gian, an entity that he clearly knew was a colossus compared to him, whether he was in a good shape or not. Perhaps he would take advantage of Gian's good nature and make a quick run for it, he still had his chances. But the jester didn't seem to have a single worry regarding that. Quite the contrary, he'd slowly make his way back to his seat and make himself comfortable on it.

"I guess I can tell you. You know this feeling when you make a very weird and ephemeral connection with someone because you can relate to their origins? Konoha guys finding other Konoha lads in some foreign land suddenly have some synergy most of the time? Yeah, you see my friend, that big ol' island, the land of Water, is a place I'm very familiar with. I'm actually quite sad as to how it's turned. You think Konoha left you for no good reason? Wait until you see what rotten core Kiri has become. Never try to completely pacify a culture of barbarians, they'll just poison everything I say!"

He chuckled in the middle of his speech, not expecting Gin to be so rash as to attack or try to escape just yet. It was obviously a trap and it wouldn't be the wisest thing to do to suddenly get impatient after a week when the evidently biggest menace so happened to be in the same room. But he had an escape, for once, as slim as it seemed. Gian would just go on, Gin's actions having little incidence to his vision of things at this point.

"So just that we're clear, you and me, buddy. Why was it that you were sent in such a near-suicide mission in that ugly castle in the first place? What did you do, Gin?"

Gian knew most of the details already, especially when a lot of information was withheld from Gin, or most people for that matter concerning the current status of things and recent events. He wanted to know if Gin would let in to his inner frustrations and his mental stability would finally let go to Gian's will.

【Age】
17

【Sex】
Male

【Sexuality】
Hetero

【Birthplace】
"Shinju"

【Bloodline】
Tsunami

【Rank】
Chūnin

Psych. report.
Medical secrecy applies.

【Personality】
He is surprisingly kind for a Mist ninja that borders on psychotic. He is nonplussed by all the murders around him as well as the many attempts on his own life to really give a damn. He is cheerful that he isn't dead yet and takes every moment for the gift of life that it is. As a side note, he has a severe hero worship for the former Mizukage. A bit short

【History】

Illegitimate Bastard child number 3. Rly? son of the former Mizukage, born to the tsunami family in the town of Shinju while hiding from hunter-nin, the 3 month old infant was suddenly abandoned by the missing-nin exactly 1 year after the swordsman's arival and raised as a bastard child for several years on the port town. A dozen years later, far away from the brutality of the village hidden in the mists What brutality? This is an era of peace and I'm pretty sure Mei Terumi made it less over-the-top violent and unwarranted in silly blood practices and all their treachery do we revisit the Boy Doku. He had grown into an apt swimmer, able to hold his breath for over four minutes of hard swimming for earning his keep in the local village when he received an odd package in the market while selling seashells; a mizukage straw hat with a letter from his father and a novel of his exploits Yeeeaaaaah you'll have to talk with Yoru about this. Two Mizukage kids, both Mizukage dead in such short intervals. Uh-huh.

In His last will he had sent for his child to attend the academy hidden in the mists as well as the delivery of the journal of his life. Doku read the book from cover to cover on the trip to the academy, he was almost too old to attend but his legacy assured his entrance regardless. Every month while at the school he read the book from cover to cover, the journal of his father provided several high level tips and hints from his lifetime experience to help Doku compensate for the lack of training most other ninja students would have unofficially received from their siblings or other family members.

It was hard going for him to Keep his child-like zeal while at the school, such ruthless tactics other students steeped in moral poison already should have spelled his end a dozen times over Once again Kiri is under an era of peace too, why are they all psychopaths a la Yagura again? They can be inherently more violent if you want but I don't think the teachers would agree at all, it was in these moments that he found life to be a gift and every missed attempt of his life made him feel more alive. If he gave into the poison that consumed all the other students, then he would become another faceless mass, not the stuff of his fathers legacy. He graduated with flying colors much to the ire of his fellow students in the 7 way fight with a poison fueled hidden mist jutsu that he was immune to due to the entire year spent building up tolerance to his own poison blend. So why is he in Konoha? Especially now of all times?

【Family ties】
Describe shortly what type of family your character grew up in, how the ties were and how this influenced him. After that fill in He had a loving mom and dad

Paru | Dad | 45, Shinju, seafood cook
Tama | Mom | 40, Shinju, Pearl diver
Same | Father | 65, Kirigakure, Missing-nin
Kaki | baby sister | 7, Shinju, oyster shucker I'm confused on which is the former Mizukage

【Dreams and fears】
He wants to be a Mizukage, like his father, ushering in a new era of peace. His severe hero worship of what he imagines his father to have been like clouds his judgement, always wondering what 'he' would do in this situation.Ok so why is he in Konoha?

Combat reports.
Gathered from evaluation reports after missions.

【Fighting style】
An 'aquatic Gara' would be the easiest way to explain his style of heavy water techniques emphasizing energy conservation whenever possible. From this time under the training of Shuko, he has taken to increasing his quite lacking martial skill with grappling techniques for locks and holds, wrapping his limbs around an opponent to bring them down rather than an arbitrary series of punches and kicks.

【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】
Bloodline limit name:
Mizu no naka no mizu (water within water)
Description:
His skin turns a shade of blue similar to Kisame as he aligns with the water chakra.
Strengths:
] ] He can convert water techniques back into chakra Similar to the Akimichi calorie conversion specifically for water Jutsu. Thus allowing him to quickly convert one water technique to another on the fly. (converting water prison to mist by making the sphere 'explode' or even reverse by tightening the fog around someone into a water prison.) Yeah okay, first off that'll mean he ha infinite chakra near a water source. That's a no. Secondly, I will not accept that he can have full blown manipulation of any water that isn't generated by him or static water (that doesn't actively do something related to an external ability). The concept in itself is alright, but your character cannot be the grand king of water release, no.
Weaknesses:
He can not use earth or fire jutsu nor any that would require its use (boil, mud, or combination), he can not combine techniques with earth or fire users either as a back door to the same effect. Those aren't weaknesses but barely relevant limits. If the weaknesses are same to water release fine, but what you've cited aren't lol.

【Ninja techniques】

B rank techniques:
Summoning Shukoku!

C rank techniques:
Water prison
Water clone

D-E rank techniques:
Hidden mist Jutsu
Temporary paralysis Trusting you with this, I don't want stuff akin to insta game breaking Genjutsu Sharingan-like approaches.
One thousand years of drowning

【Weaponry, tools and objects.】
Weapon, tool or object name:
Water gourd
Weapon, tool or object type:
Weapon
Description:
Ten gallons of water, 80 lbs, infused with his chakra on a constant basis worn on his back and he uses his water manipulation to make it levitate a little against his back to take the weight off of him on long treks. The sheer infusion makes his techniques with his water just a little stronger, a little faster, that tie-breaking edge he needs when fighting another water opponent. I assume this water in hiss gourd is like Gaara's 'special' sand right? Limited quantities?

Weapon, tool or object name:
Purple gourd
Weapon, tool or object type:
Weapon
Description:
One gallon of liquid poison worn his hip. Just like the one on his back, he infuses it with chakra in order to manipulate the water of the poison as a weapon or blend the poison into his water gourd at a 1:1-10:1 ratio. The poison itself is a paralytic agent absorbed through the skin In combination with how easily manipulated his water is, all he has to do is mobilize 3 neurons and he'll have someone soaked in a few seconds. I'm not sure what to think of the medium, the rest is fine though.. At minimum it numbs the skin and effects the abilities of opponents with a full body sensation of 'pins and needles'. Saturation in the limbs causes growing weakness and progressive loss of coordination. A direct hit in the mouth or the like, the numbness makes it nearly impossible to issue orders or finish any verbal commands for Jutsu techniques.

Weapon, tool or object name:
Scuba
Weapon, tool or object type:
Tool
Description:
A small device about the size of a gas mask, it simply contains a few minutes more of oxygen for aquatic missions and supplements his ability to hold his breath for so long.k

Weapon, tool or object name:
Shucking gloves
Weapon, tool or object type:
Tool
Description:
Chain mesh gloves used for preventing knife slips from opening his hand, he has found to be incredibly useful for catching bladed weapons with no threat to himself. There is only a slight decrease in his manual dexterity due to the fine links requiring him to retain as much coordination for the actual function to shell oysters along with a better grip from the textured surface. k

SHOKUSHU
Description:
The pervy octopus it was only a matte of time before the ONE GUY would make this lol is from the contract hidden within his father's book only revealed after proper study. In combat she capable of firing ink shots to blind opponents for Doku's aid as well as an attack of unspeakable horror against kunoichi simply called "one thousand years of love" Comedy is fine but Jap sexual comedy is obviously niche for basement dwellers. Let's keep our standards high so my salty vag doesn't burn huehue. She also knows healing measures THIS needs details. The extent of course to help him recover and can generate water for his use in jutsu's if he is without any water of his own. Cant you detail is physically? Size? Color? W/e that is actually relevant?

The CS in general is fine, you just lack certain details and need to add a couple of things. Despite my snark, I'm actually alright with most of it.

Seems legit, all gud, nao post in the char bin with a cool title and join us for some skyping so we can have you started with some relevant shit.

Naruto: Path to Enlightment. Looking for fresh meat!

-I actually meant a description like most CS' but w/e, it's actually not important at all lol.

-It's a joke because almost all female characters are bi or lesbian and we have two lesbo couples already.

-How about Red Dick?

-k

-Gin was an ambassador? Thought he was too much of a pussy really. Well w/e see with Fallen about that one. As for the position in itself, isn't it a pretty serious position given to people of trust? One would think her lineage would make it easier through some form of nepotism operating in the shadows.

-Okay so just her speshul AB- special snowflake blood. Alright

-Okay so tediously slow drinking away

-Seems legit

-Obito, Madara and Sasuke would disagree. Okay sure, that seems balanced enough.

Just deal with the ambassador shit to make her, you know, LEGIT.
