Elseworld Gotham - For Want of a Blunter Method - DC Comics Roleplay

Well no one has been posting and I need at least two people to run this roleplay.

"Well then that's YOUR problem isn't it Fukusho? Did Uchiha stop to think about his current situation? No he did his job as he saw fit. As it stands you chose to go along with the herd. If you think your way is better don't let me stop you and keep doing it. Perhaps I'm wrong and I'm just making things worse. For what it's worth you do have a point. You always should adapt to something but you need to consider the situation in it's entirety. You can't simply just put both eyes on the target and think you got it figured out. Sometimes there's more factors than what's in front of you. A ninja's duty is to get the job done but also to make sure it get's done the best way possible. There's multiple ways to get things done. Multiple ways to get things screwed up. And there's one way to do it best. Your job as a ninja is to find that way."

"Then it was your purgative to think on your own and consider all possible choices given to you. There are multiple choices to go around any scenario and it's not always up to your leader to decide and sometimes they can't decide themselves. Sometimes YOU need to decide what is best for any given scenario and you don't have people to tell you how to do it. Sometimes it's best if you go along with a plan other times you need to improvise. Likewise did anyone of you ever stop to ask me why you're doing this or if there is even a point to all of this at all?" Akihiko simply said indifferently as if he was asking how the weather was to Mikone. "As for you Fukusho you need to think more independently. Just because your team mate is doing something doesn't mean you should. Good thinking though. And as for you Masatake...you need to visit the library more. There's more than one way to get things done as I just gone done saying."

Kuro looked at the walnut with disdain. It was rather pathetic really that this is what he'd be up against his first genin trials. Why the hell did this even matter? He supposed it had to do something to do with physical or mental strength or perhaps jutsu. Kuro didn't even hesitate or try to crack the nut open with his hands he pulled out his kunai and flipped the thing over and tried to break it with his kunai's palm. It didn't work so he tried again. It felt like it budged a little but that wasn't going to work. So Kuro pocketed the kunai knife and pulled out his short sword and put it between the crack of the walnut that had opened a little wider after the pummeling it just got. Kuro slowly sawed at it slowly and precisely which took longer than simply smashing it but in the end it came open and Kuro presented the nut inside with minimal damage to it aside from the top where Mitsuhide had hit it. "What's the point of this?" Kuro asked as Akihiko shrugged. "What was the point of it? You all tell me why: Why did you open the nut? Why did you do it the way you did? Did you consider any other methods? Do you feel like you accomplished your objective? Well I'm all ears you four." Akihiko asked simply as he put his ring finger into his right ear and moved it around before flicking some ear wax onto the near by tree. "Bah...this is stupid. The point I suppose is to test our ingenuity by the sounds of it. You wanted to see how we got it done and what we thought of. And no I don't feel satisfied because a walnuts are disgusting and gross. Moreover I did consider other methods I tried my kunai because that was the obvious route. It's point lets you cut into things but I didn't want to break the nut inside of it. Instead I tried to pummel it open which failed but it got me a smaller crack which let me use my sword. All the same I could've used a rock or even a ninjutsu. But I didn't because what's the point in opening this damn thing if I don't at least have something to show for it?" Kuro said bluntly as he crossed his arms after putting away his sword.

Well yeah break the nuts if your character has the physical strength too do it or do whatever you feel gets the job done. I don't think Masa does but he's your character. These are tests after all and it's all based on what your character can and can't do.

You'll see.

"Alright Mikone your throw is alright but as you said keep working on it. And don't just follow me advice exceed it. Find new ways to improve your throwing arm. And as for you Fukusho. Just keep training your arm as well. My advice is to get together with Mikone and train together. Kuro. You're throws are too rough but they're right on the mark too. I can't say much about you without sounding condescending or moronic because as I'm going to talk about later on ninja need to be taken down with a good clean shot or they may get back up. You got a good point with aiming to kill but you can also aim to incapacitate a person as well. Interrogation is key to any successful ninja operation. Killing isn't the only way to get things done." Akihiko said moving away from the kunai and back towards the group.

"And you Masatake...I want you to listen to Kuro and disregard him at the same time. Your dream is to become a medical ninja right? Then you better learn how to incapacitate people with those senbon needles you use. Poison, stunning agents, and other materials will serve you well with that accuracy of yours and more hits then the rest combined certains says a lot as well. On the down side if you don't have anything you're fucked kid. I'm not even going to mince words. Senbon are ineffective killing tools, they're medical tools used as a last resort or thrown in mass by ninja who can't handle a straight up fist fight or ninjutsu brawl. Kunai and throwing stars will serve you much better if you do it one at a time. Because..." Akihiko paused and then moved over to the kunai that Masatake threw and merely poked them and nearly all of them fell off.

"Your throw with these things are weak. If you meet a ninja you better have a good taijutsu set ready. Or throw with more intent to hurt behind them and use less of them unless it's absolutely necessary. I hope you understand what I'm saying and not ignoring it because it crosses your personal beliefs...Or do they? Since you intend to kill someone for whatever reason in the future or at least ruin their lives." Akihiko said as he looked down at Masatake. Before going to one of the trees and gathering a group of walnuts that had fallen down from the tree and handing them out to each and everyone of them. "I want you to break those walnuts."

Also Colt Kuro already threw his kunai it's Helios who needs to throw.

Akihiko is a very understanding man who understands the need for growth but he isn't as effective in terms of actually teaching techniques. He's like the lecturing type of teacher and not the sort of gym/science class teacher who shows you how it's done step by step.

True enough but in all honesty if Masa knows Kuro has the sharingan it ain't smart to pick a fight with him. Especially since he is lack luster in some regards but he sharpened his actual combat techniques to a fine point. It's up to you to decide how Masa will react once he learns that Kuro almost died during his childhood and still carrys a scar from it.
