Transcript

SPEAKER_08 0:15

Welcome to session 15 of the Silent Tide Shinobi Dungeons and Dragons. I am Cody the DM, and I just wanted to take a moment to thank our very first Patreon supporter, Alex. This is a big milestone for our podcast, and we are so appreciative of the support. It means the world that people out there enjoy the stories that we have to tell. In today's session, I will give the recap because this session and the last were recorded in the same day, so there wasn't a very clear transition. That is also why the last session ended a little abruptly. But first, I'll let the players introduce themselves.

SPEAKER_04 0:45

And we'll play Fry.

SPEAKER_12 0:47

Griff playing I think I and Jess playing Firsty Hochigaki.

SPEAKER_08 0:52

Last session, Team 18 emerged triumphant from their very first dungeon, the Epyspical Garden. After that, they headed to a dinner with Kasari Nagusa and some of the Kansashi assembly. Then they proceeded to have many deep conversations with each other along with other NPCs, and finished the session with a grueling training led by Raito Hochigaki, Yuchiha's layer. This session will take place over a two to four week time scale.

SPEAKER_05 1:17

Alright, here we go. Let's see what we get into. Okay.

SPEAKER_08 1:22

Resuming, you guys just had a great training.

SPEAKER_05 1:25

Well, I will Great, yeah. Tough.

SPEAKER_08 1:28

Yes. You guys realize you are not prepared for Raito's training.

SPEAKER_13 1:33

Yes.

SPEAKER_08 1:33

But I did want to skip ahead and just kind of go through some of the days that are coming forward and explain some things that happened. Okay. One.

SPEAKER_04 1:42

Well, hold on. Before we do that, can I have an interaction with Percy and going and talking to one of the people who know about him? Yep. The Jin Cherokee conversation?

SPEAKER_08 1:50

Um, yeah. Okay. Uh who are you going to?

SPEAKER_04 1:54

Uh so it was either Sekima or who's the Korokite.

SPEAKER_08 1:58

Kurokita is the one who sealed it in here. Okay. Um Would this be before, during, after? This would be after this training, because that was like the morning of. But again, we're not gonna get too specific on the time. This is just over the next few days. Um at some point, you do find Kurokite. Um I'm guessing you're coming up to him, so you're you can start the conversation.

SPEAKER_04 2:20

Uh sensei, uh, I have some questions for you about this.

SPEAKER_08 2:25

Yes, uh Percy, I'm sure you do.

SPEAKER_04 2:27

Yeah, yeah. Uh I did a clan trial with Kisari and the rest of Teammate the other day, and uh everything was going well until apparently it wasn't, and I apparently lost control.

SPEAKER_08 2:45

Wait, hang on, did you say you did the trial with Kisari?

SPEAKER_04 2:48

Yeah, apparently we're allowed to do that because he said it was fine. And the kelp mother said it was fine too. Everyone seems shocked about that.

SPEAKER_08 2:57

Yeah, we we had a big congratulations for him. I was very impressive at that young age. I didn't know he did it with help. Didn't know the mention that. Sorry because he didn't tell me.

SPEAKER_05 3:10

Yeah, did he not say? Was he like, yeah, I did say I did it all by myself? Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 3:15

Um, oh, also another detail before you even start. You would notice this is your first time seeing Koro Kite since the since the event. Uh, well, he talked to you at the hospital. You notice his face is a lot more sunken. He's got that a patch or two of gray hair that have come out. And yeah, he has a little bit of wrinklage going on.

SPEAKER_13 3:37

Wrinklage.

SPEAKER_08 3:38

But, yes. So um you asked, oh yeah. So you were talking about the Nagusa trial? Mm-hmm. Okay. What do you mean it was fine until it wasn't?

SPEAKER_04 3:50

Uh, it just well, I don't really know. It was more Kaisei and Haraya said that I got really angry and kind of scary, and Haraya mentioned that my chakra was really crazy and not normal looking.

SPEAKER_08 4:11

Well, yes, if you remember I asked you whether you wanted me to leave the seal closed or slightly open.

SPEAKER_02 4:20

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 4:21

And leaving it slightly open, there's a chance that the creature could come through.

SPEAKER_05 4:27

In other words, the consequences of your own actions.

SPEAKER_08 4:31

Um do you want me to close it?

SPEAKER_04 4:33

No, I'm not saying that. I just I didn't I guess I didn't realize that that's what would happen. Not to mention I I've maybe been having some questionable dreams too.

SPEAKER_08 4:45

I didn't think that it would happen so fast either. But I I guess just keep your team close by. If if you need help, I'm always available.

SPEAKER_05 4:56

Dang. You might totally turtle out, but just keep your team. He's like, you know what? You'll be fine. Like, what are we gonna do?

SPEAKER_08 5:03

Um I would recommend training on your chopper control.

SPEAKER_00 5:09

Okay.

SPEAKER_08 5:11

That might be the best way. Um, do you tend to have violent tendencies?

SPEAKER_04 5:17

No, I don't. I don't think so, anyways.

SPEAKER_08 5:21

The turtle balls.

SPEAKER_04 5:22

The turtle dolls.

SPEAKER_08 5:24

Yeah.

unknown 5:25

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 5:25

Imagine if not the she. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_08 5:29

That's good. Are you doing the medical training?

SPEAKER_04 5:32

Yeah, I I plan to.

SPEAKER_08 5:33

Okay, good. Kisari will be there with you guys. Um, that'll be a great way to tighten up your chakra control.

SPEAKER_04 5:40

Okay. And are we still being very secretive about this with other people? Because Kasari was at the clan trial. Oh. And we we know apparently Horaya just said that it was the rage of the Hoshigaki and he kind of took it, so that's what we're going with so far.

SPEAKER_08 5:59

Alright, I'll I'll try to think of something. Thank you for telling me.

SPEAKER_04 6:04

I mean, is it so bad? Well, she's just not there. Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 6:09

No. Chinchuriki and other villages, when their identity has been revealed, the village turns on them. They have a hard time with human nature separating the human from the beast. And they think you're one. And they could take that out on you. So I agree with the Mizukage's decision that going forward, Agent Shuriki should be remained secret. At least to a point where if it does come out eventually, you have a certain amount of time under your belt knowing that you're a good person and you're not a monster. Um, Kurokite He's really he's really nice and he's really sweet about it, but he does seem like he's having a little bit of a hard time telling you this. Himself. Um, roll me an insight check.

SPEAKER_04 7:05

You Kai sei not there? That was a heavy funk, too. 19 plus two.

SPEAKER_08 7:16

Okay, incredibly.

SPEAKER_04 7:18

Lovely. I said, I know what you're hiding. I'm the looker now.

SPEAKER_08 7:23

Obviously, you don't just get like, you don't just know exactly. But you see, he has the look on his face that he has lost something very dear or close to him.

SPEAKER_04 7:34

Based on a ginger key conversation.

SPEAKER_08 7:37

Based on the event of what happened. For sure, based on the attack of the three tails. Have we seen his wife at all? You have seen the wife at the Unity Day Festival.

SPEAKER_11 7:47

Did she the baby?

SPEAKER_08 7:50

You're asking him?

SPEAKER_04 7:52

Okay, um. Oh. Think of a non-intense way to ask this. How's the wife doing? How's the baby? What did she do? Um what did he what did he say again to me? Say it again.

SPEAKER_08 8:11

He he was just telling you about how it's human nature to have a hard time separating the person from the beast.

SPEAKER_05 8:19

And he kind of have- I'm having a hard time doing that with you because you're the reason his baby died.

SPEAKER_00 8:27

No, I think that clarification!

SPEAKER_08 8:29

Well, technically, he's not the reason. Percy's not the reason, and you can tell he's not it's not that he's- You don't sense any anger from it. You just get some sorrow. Because you are also holding the. I'm literally holding it. Yeah. Yeah. And from that insight, you can kind of tell, like, that he he knows it was his own choice.

SPEAKER_03 8:51

But you haven't actually heard it yet. Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 8:53

But he's saying that's an incredible insight.

SPEAKER_04 8:56

Okay. Uh you know, you you don't look so good yourself. Has this whole scenario take an effect on more than just me, I'm assuming?

SPEAKER_08 9:10

There were a lot of a lot of effects. The riptide sealing Ju2 is very intense. As he kind of like flips through his gray hair. And he goes, it it takes a lot to seal to kill the beast. Remania has killed them. I was fortunate not to do so, but me and my wife lost.

SPEAKER_04 9:42

I'm so sorry.

SPEAKER_08 9:43

It's not your fault. Again, you are not the beast that is with inside you.

SPEAKER_04 9:51

Yeah. You're like, editing. Just hug him really hard.

SPEAKER_08 9:58

Me and Amisawa are Shinobi, and we know what that means. There are tough choices, and without the sacrifice of our one, it could have been thousands more.

SPEAKER_13 10:08

I'm gonna cry. Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_08 10:10

Yeah, that's a real tear jerky. No, for real. That's the name of the episode, tear jerky. It's all three of the characters crying. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 10:24

Uh I guess I just I didn't really fully comprehend what it means to be a ginger jerky.

SPEAKER_08 10:34

I know. It was a rush decision. We didn't have a lot of time, but I I tried to ask you to think about it. But we are here now.

SPEAKER_03 10:47

And Shush Kai say.

SPEAKER_08 10:49

This may be a little late to inform you.

SPEAKER_13 10:56

Huh?

SPEAKER_08 10:59

It is reversible, but for a genturike to be removed from the person, the person will die.

SPEAKER_03 11:14

Oh about this example! Yeah, only reversible upon your death.

SPEAKER_08 11:17

This life or none. From now on, I'm afraid.

SPEAKER_05 11:21

You got any tips or tricks on how to make him like me more? Ginchurkey 101.

SPEAKER_08 11:27

I've never been Ginchurky myself, but I know ceiling due to. I Again, I can close the seal anytime.

SPEAKER_04 11:37

It's not about the closing the seal, I just is there anything I can because he just seems really angry and like a miscommunication. He thought he was one place, now he's here. Like he doesn't even know how he got to our village.

SPEAKER_08 11:52

The Three Tales was on a rampage, no?

SPEAKER_04 11:55

Chaw moment. Should I mention the Cagliari? Because he mentioned Kagliari. This is up to Percy. Oh!

unknown 12:06

I didn't hear this.

SPEAKER_08 12:07

He didn't mention the Cagliari, he mentioned the Ethone. Hey, there's people like Kakashi.

SPEAKER_04 12:13

True, very true. Okay. So, yeah, like he he's so confused. He said that he was out on the water one day and he didn't even know how he got to our village.

SPEAKER_08 12:24

This is interesting. He reaches into his bag and pulls out, you know, some pen and paper. Can you tell me exactly what he said? You you've talked with the three tips?

SPEAKER_04 12:34

Like I said, I've had really strange dreams or like hallucinations or daydreams, whatever you want to call them, but what I I don't know. Like I'm in my house, but it's not my house, and it's like twisted and weird, and I'm walking down a long hallway and he's behind me. And he's not being very nice about it. He's he's confused as to why he's trapped with me, and I try to reason with him that it was the only way we could do to save my village, but he said that there was no way that he could be anywhere near my village. The last he remembered was he was out in the ocean, I believe, and somebody on a boat talking to him.

SPEAKER_08 13:26

Did he have any description of the person?

SPEAKER_04 13:28

He didn't want to say anything else. I tried to get more information, but he just was disappointed.

SPEAKER_08 13:34

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 13:34

In me.

unknown 13:35

Okay.

SPEAKER_08 13:37

I will talk with Mizukage about this. If any more information comes up, please tell me.

SPEAKER_02 13:41

Okay.

SPEAKER_08 13:42

In regards to the seal, there have been a few examples of Jinchuriki in the past who've made a bond with their tail beast and have had incredible success and strength in doing so. You may be able to do that, despite his anger.

SPEAKER_05 14:00

Ooh, I'll meet Killer B.

SPEAKER_08 14:02

He doesn't know who that is.

SPEAKER_05 14:04

Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry.

SPEAKER_08 14:06

That's fine, it's not a good idea.

SPEAKER_13 14:07

I'm so sorry that I could talk to one of these gentry holders.

SPEAKER_05 14:14

Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 14:16

That's his name. His I think his actual name is Killer B. I don't know if Killer is a nickname, but his name is B.

SPEAKER_10 14:24

For whatever reason it made me think of the It was a filler episode of the giant one.

SPEAKER_08 14:31

Yeah, I know. Well currently there are only four Genturies in the world. There's one in the leaf, two in the cloud, and now one here.

SPEAKER_13 14:47

Who in the cloud?

SPEAKER_08 14:49

You guys would know, um.

SPEAKER_04 14:53

Is it Ryan Kaisei outside the door? Like who in the cloud?

SPEAKER_08 14:56

On the day of the um when they did the funeral, the Mizukage had mentioned that there was a tailed beast attack in the cloud village.

SPEAKER_05 15:06

So there's a new one in the cloud.

SPEAKER_08 15:09

Yeah, but yes, or do there's only four. None of them are in this village.

SPEAKER_05 15:14

I think she one of the four before I was.

SPEAKER_08 15:17

Yeah, but she means can she talk to the other another gentriki?

SPEAKER_04 15:21

There's four total, one being Percy. I can't talk to myself. Got it.

SPEAKER_08 15:25

Go in the corner and talk to yourself. The three tails just you're stupid. I think it's a good idea. I will talk to the Mizukage about it, and maybe we can rearrange some kind of research trip for you.

SPEAKER_05 15:39

Okay. Mariah? Can you imagine us going to physically? Could you imagine if I go to the leaf before you do? I would definitely be tagging a leaf.

SPEAKER_03 15:52

Yeah, just in my suitcase. Great reason to get to the leaf, though.

SPEAKER_09 15:57

Great research.

SPEAKER_08 15:58

Alright. I mean, we should also know this information.

SPEAKER_12 16:02

No, that's we can.

SPEAKER_08 16:03

Yeah, we got we got a lot to get through. Yeah, that's good. That's a good conversation. Yeah, good conversation. Um for Hariah, over the next coming days. Uh one day you wake up. Hopefully. And every day you wake up. Only one day. But this day, outside sitting pried up against your doorway are two long cylindrical items wrapped.

SPEAKER_03 16:28

Wrapping paper.

SPEAKER_08 16:30

As you come out of your doorroom. And yeah, they're nicely wrapped. They have these tags on them saying torrent forge, and they have the logos.

SPEAKER_00 16:41

SPEAKER_05 16:52

Yes. She's like, no.

unknown 16:54

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 16:54

Opening them.

SPEAKER_08 16:55

There's a long one and a short one. As you open them up, you find the long one to be almost more of a. What do you describe them? Oh, not on Mike though. You find the longer one to be more of a European style sword. It's still a one-headed sword. It's got that nice purple hue to it. The hilt is um it's got a loop at the back, metal loop like a kunai. It's white and purple on the handle, and it's got the Huguen logo in the guard.

SPEAKER_02 17:21

Do we have a pick?

SPEAKER_08 17:22

I do. I'm describing them first. Ah, gotcha. The second one is much shorter. It's more of a kunai weapon. And it's, yeah, also purple as well with um on the wrappings of the kunai, has the Huguen clan logo as well with the little cross guards. And I will show you guys. This is the first one.

SPEAKER_03 17:44

Okay, quick roll, D20, because we got a lot to get through. Oh my lord.

SPEAKER_05 18:25

Yeah, uh, the long-handed sword.

SPEAKER_08 18:30

You did a little bit of dual wield training. Every time you've done rule wield, they've been the same weapon.

SPEAKER_03 18:34

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 18:35

So you are definitely thrown off balance with this. But you can tell you got a little bit more power in these. There's gonna be a lot of refining.

SPEAKER_04 18:43

Right, right, right.

SPEAKER_08 18:43

A lot of refining.

Again, another character from the Unity Festival. The nephew of Mordate Sensei, the man Kaisei has ended. They had an interaction murdered, that's they had an interaction for Unidide Festival in which Kaisei promised he would teach the boy to fish. And he comes up. Kaisei, uh, I went to the enclave, but they they said you were here. Are you ready to fish? And he pulls out he pulls out this so handmade. It's literally a tree branch that's still not been whittled or fined down, and it's got like yarn on it, and it's like very badly taped.

Maybe he gets a bigger fish.

SPEAKER_08 21:51

You cast the line, you peel a snag. He also casts a line that you help him with your old rod, and he does get a catch. This is perfect. You guys both cast your lines around the same time. I love when the dice do this. At the exact same time, your lines pull and snug. You easily pull this out. It's not a very big creature. Just kind of familiar. He struggles a little bit. He's got it like pried up against his waist, and he's like, He looks like he's having the fight of his life. And uh emerging at the same time are two mud crabs. Oh, these guys catch the same fish. He's like, I I did it! I did it! I can feed our family with this crab. I can sell it, we can make money! Oh my god!

But again, the you thought that Ikeon might appear and it does not. Sometimes the dice tell a beautiful story of two young men catching mud crabs together. Sometimes they don't want Kaisei to get a level up.

unknown 25:10

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 25:12

SPEAKER_08 25:14

You see this large building. You enter in, and you notice right away there is no floor.

unknown 26:34

Oh.

SPEAKER_08 26:34

The floor is entirely water. You're gonna have to chalk a walk the entire time.

SPEAKER_05 26:38

Ah, okay.

SPEAKER_08 26:39

You remember when we watched Boroto?

SPEAKER_05 26:41

Yep. Oh, this that building is.

SPEAKER_08 26:43

This is that place. Largely concrete. Um, the floor is water.

unknown 26:48

Water.

SPEAKER_08 26:49

You come in. First people you lock eyes with are the Mizukage himself. Along with this woman next to him, wearing like a brown robe. Um, she's got really long dark red hair, and she's got the executioner's blade on her back. Very long blade with a circular opening on the end and like a half circular opening closer up. They are standing kind of at the front of a group of people.

SPEAKER_05 27:21

Y'all recognize this blade.

SPEAKER_01 27:25

In Zabuza.

SPEAKER_05 27:28

This is Zabuza's book.

SPEAKER_09 27:29

Oh, okay, okay.

SPEAKER_03 27:30

Oh it's been a minute since we've seen Zabuza.

SPEAKER_09 27:34

Yeah, but you can also only see like the very tip of it, so it's like Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 27:40

He didn't really use the blade that much. He mainly used his water jutsu. True. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 27:45

He just kind of held it and was like, yeah, I have this, but I'm not gonna use it.

SPEAKER_08 27:50

You see a um a young Hoshigaki man, long black hair, wears red with black pinstripes and a black outer coat on top of that.

SPEAKER_05 28:00

Oh shoot.

SPEAKER_08 28:02

Um, close by as well, you see a young girl who looks not him. Looks younger than you, has this long blonde hair that is pinned straight, again has a long coat that is red and pinstriped with a red uh headband on top.

SPEAKER_04 28:19

As well as a huge man.

SPEAKER_08 28:23

With again, red pinstripe, black overcoat with sleeveless. He's wearing this like white skin tight mask over his head. Got two large axes. The young girl has like a very small, like fencing style sword. And uh the first Toshigaki man just has a regular like katana. You notice another uh young man who's wearing a white coat. He looks like dressed very for very cold weather. He's wearing this mask that's all white and has these long tusks, like walrus tusks, coming down. As well as Maki Kaman.

SPEAKER_05 28:58

That one is so cool, huh?

SPEAKER_08 28:59

Chojiro. Member of Team 4.

SPEAKER_05 29:04

Oh, I remember.

SPEAKER_08 29:05

A little bit of a rivalry. The blue hair, blue camo suit with her katana.

SPEAKER_05 29:08

She's the Mizukage's daughter.

SPEAKER_08 29:10

So you join in file with these. There are what, six of you total? There may be a few more uh randos in there with you guys. Some randos. But these are the important ones. You get in there. And uh the woman at the front goes, everyone, gather up! Mizukage's gonna speak. And you guys all line up. Mizukage goes, Alright. Well, everyone, if you are here, it means you've been selected, hand selected, as a potential seven swordsmen member. If you made it here, you at least know the basics of how to swing a sword. Just want you to know that in the coming months we may be able to retrieve some of the seven swords, and a few of you may become members. So keep up the training. Take this very seriously. It is an honor to become part of this group. Train hard. He was on a look for a little bit more than that. But he will eventually head his way out. Um, and he points the way. This is Yuri Masa Ringo, one of the seven swordsmen. She has the executioner's blade, she will be leading the training. And then he makes his exit out. But Yuri Masa goes. As this is a Shinobi village, this training will be revolving door style. We can't always have everyone in the village, every training session, so it's understandable if you're on a mission, you're out doing your mission. If you have the time, you come in for training. So you will see people in and out of here that are sometimes not here, sometimes here. For today, everyone start off, find space, do some some shadow work. Just practice form, swing your sword, get to it. I will come one by one to each of you.

SPEAKER_04 30:49

I just got these new blades. No pressure, no pressure.

SPEAKER_07 30:53

Horrible training results.

SPEAKER_04 30:54

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 30:54

Yeah. So everyone kind of spreads out, and they're they're just practicing like shadow boxing, but with their weapons. Just practicing form. Um, and the woman makes her way um bit by bit to each person. She actually locks eyes with Haraya first and comes over. What is your name?

SPEAKER_05 31:13

Horaya Hugo, ma'am.

SPEAKER_08 31:15

Oh. You're from the Leaf Village, right?

SPEAKER_05 31:19

Yes, ma'am.

SPEAKER_08 31:21

I've heard of you. See what you got. Grab your longer sword. Hold it with two hands out in front of you. Sturdy grip. First part of Swordsman training is strength and grip. If you can't hold on to your sword, you don't deserve it. And she pulls out the huge executioner's plate. This thing is like long. And she gets in like a stance.

SPEAKER_05 31:50

Honestly, she could just she could just shoulder tap me and I'd drop it, probably.

SPEAKER_08 31:54

She swings a huge blade at your blade and like comes up with it. Throw me a strength check to see if you can hold on to your sword.

SPEAKER_13 32:00

Strength. You got this. And plus anything? Plus.

SPEAKER_08 32:08

That was the same. That is the plus. Oh. The sword launches from your hand. Right, right. Flies up, stuck into like the roof.

SPEAKER_05 32:18

Right, of course.

SPEAKER_08 32:20

Alright, Hara. Go get it. And she walks over to the next person. She goes, person to personal.

SPEAKER_03 32:28

Go get it.

SPEAKER_08 32:29

She's expecting you to chocolate walk on the wall and go get it. She keeps going person to person. Um, she goes over to the Hoshigaki. I'm not gonna roll all these. He also loses his blade. And he scoffs at that.

SPEAKER_12 32:48

He's like questioning.

SPEAKER_08 32:51

Goes to Maki.

SPEAKER_05 32:52

No, don't tell me she's freaking great.

SPEAKER_08 32:54

She bounces and there's a little nick in the top of her forehead, but she holds on to the sword.

SPEAKER_05 33:00

Whatever.

SPEAKER_08 33:01

And brings it back down.

SPEAKER_05 33:02

But hey, she throws the forehead, Nick. She goes My blade is in the ring.

SPEAKER_08 33:09

She goes to the man in the the walrus mask, his blade also goes flying. Goes to the little girl, her blade nearly breaks in half. Nice and goes flying as well. That one um goes way up, comes back in the water, and she starts having to swim through the water to find her blade.

SPEAKER_04 33:27

Hey, you could have had that.

SPEAKER_08 33:29

She goes to the large man with the skin tight uh white mask on. He's got his two axes and he just holds them out like this. She swings, tits, he holds them real firm. And you see a crack on her blade. The executioner's blade cracks. And she smiles and laughs at that. She takes her big blade and she slices her shoulder. You see blood start to drip, and the blade absorbs the blood, and the crack starts to heal and reform. Wild. She comes back to Haraya. Are you ready?

SPEAKER_05 34:05

Yes, ma'am.

SPEAKER_08 34:07

Let's go. Swing.

SPEAKER_05 34:08

Bam!

SPEAKER_03 34:10

You weren't even holding it yet.

SPEAKER_08 34:14

Four. Yeah. Um, yeah, so you that's how you'll spend most of the first day. Great. But jumping around. A few more days come and go. You are back and forth from training. And on this day she asks, hard around. We're doing sparring. And before you can even spin around, Maki taps you on the shoulder.

SPEAKER_03 34:44

Great.

SPEAKER_08 34:45

She goes, I've been waiting for this for a long time. I held back at graduation. And I'm gonna redeem that embarrassment. She holds out the katana. Roll for initiative. Kick her foot.

SPEAKER_05 35:08

Kick her foot. Nine.

SPEAKER_08 35:12

Sixteen.

SPEAKER_04 35:14

Me and Kaisei are just gonna be like in the back with little signs. No window. He got this. No pressure.

SPEAKER_08 35:27

No pressure.

SPEAKER_04 35:27

No pressure!

SPEAKER_08 35:29

I've wanted surrounding you guys. You guys are doing this one at a time. Not intense at all. Okay, it is Maki's turn up first. Right.

SPEAKER_05 35:38

Mm-hmm. She They're just allowing this?

SPEAKER_08 35:42

This is you guys to group up in Spark.

SPEAKER_05 35:45

In Spark. Oh, I thought she said like team. No, no, no.

SPEAKER_08 35:50

And it's far.

SPEAKER_04 35:52

It's like, yeah, we're gonna be friends, right? Just oooh!

SPEAKER_08 35:55

Yeah, Maki is looks so deadly serious.

SPEAKER_13 35:58

Right. Doesn't she always look deadly serious? Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 36:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 36:04

I think she eases up a little bit when she's gonna be able to do it.

SPEAKER_08 36:05

Even when it looks serious. She's very angry with Hariah at being defeated. What's your um 1814? Alright, two hits. She comes at you with the the katana and she does three quick like jabs at you. Um and two of them hit. Dealing seven points of damage.

SPEAKER_05 36:36

Y'all already know. Y'all already know my hit when we're backing.

SPEAKER_06 36:41

Everyone's at full everything at this point.

SPEAKER_13 36:43

Kaiche, can you buy Horaya some armor with your trust fund?

SPEAKER_08 36:48

For real. Trust fund? I heard that but. Yeah, you're at full everything just minus two last one.

SPEAKER_13 36:58

You already have like a son like character that you gotta take care of.

SPEAKER_10 37:03

I say son.

SPEAKER_04 37:05

You've already gave him uh your your old fishing rod.

SPEAKER_10 37:08

So he can feed himself.

SPEAKER_04 37:12

Tough love from his father. Father like figure. Just think you're already a step up. But I say you're already a step up from his previous one.

SPEAKER_11 37:23

It's a good thing I murdered him.

SPEAKER_04 37:24

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_05 37:25

Okay. My turn, I'm assuming. Alright, I'm gonna hit her with a cross cut.

SPEAKER_08 37:31

Hit it. Yeah, when you guys started um Yuri Masa will say, remember, no ninjutsu, no genjutsu. But crosscut is not ninjutsu, so go right ahead. Read it, you have me do it.

SPEAKER_05 37:48

I know, but five feet three chalker. With weapons in both hands, you make a single stroke swinging inward to cut one or two enemies within five feet of each other. Yields the weapons damage one d ten. If attack hits both enemies, it hits weapons damage to d8.

SPEAKER_08 38:04

This is one that you didn't let me write. You wanted to write it yourself. So I believe Yeah, you have to roll for this. You're rolling your Tai Jutsu.

SPEAKER_05 38:12

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_08 38:16

13 plus 5. Yeah, you hit. Roll the damage. Um with the the short and long sword for the first time. First hit.

SPEAKER_05 38:27

Yeah, yeah. Long sword and short sword. 1v10, which is it's this one.

SPEAKER_04 38:33

They're just Oh, I thought it was this one.

SPEAKER_05 38:37

Seven. The yeah, that's it. Seven. Oh, the biggest one. I got the ended the same damage. Damage, yeah.

SPEAKER_08 38:43

Yeah, you cross-cut as a row and it just yeah, you let root and slash her up. Um, you even as you come up, it cuts her katana belt holder, and her holster thing kind of falls and just kind of floats on the water.

unknown 38:59

Thank you.

SPEAKER_08 39:01

She looks angry.

SPEAKER_05 39:04

You get mad! That's just her constant state, you know.

SPEAKER_08 39:08

She spins to you and she goes, I can do that too. And well she can not in the same way, but she goes for a cross slash, so she's gonna try to go for two cuts of the kunai in a cross or katana in a cross form. Missing both.

SPEAKER_00 39:28

Yes, make yourself looking at it.

SPEAKER_08 39:30

She was mid-swing when the the katana belt holder kind of fell and it kind of interrupted with her shoulder swing. And it is back to Horaya's turn.

SPEAKER_05 39:39

Yes, okay. Alright, here we go, you guys. Here we freaking go.

SPEAKER_10 39:44

Take her out. Take her out.

SPEAKER_05 39:47

Moonlight High.

SPEAKER_10 39:49

Moonlight High?

SPEAKER_05 39:50

Yep. Leap 15 feet forward, make a single Taiju to attack, to double round house kick and double kick.

SPEAKER_08 39:57

You guys are cool. Do you want to back up? You're gonna have to back up, which would give her an opportunity to attack.

SPEAKER_05 40:02

Never mind.

SPEAKER_08 40:04

She's in all up in your grill right now.

SPEAKER_05 40:06

All up in your grill?

SPEAKER_08 40:07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 40:08

I see.

SPEAKER_07 40:09

What's 15 minus 8?

SPEAKER_08 40:12

Should be seven, right?

SPEAKER_05 40:15

Right. I'm sorry, one more time. We can't do gen uh ninjutsu.

SPEAKER_08 40:21

No ninjutsu or genjutsu.

SPEAKER_05 40:22

Right, but palm strike is ninjutsu.

SPEAKER_08 40:25

Taijutsu. That would count. I mean it's hand-to-hand combat.

SPEAKER_05 40:30

They're looking for your sword abilities, but they are looking for sword abilities. That's my only sword thing right now, though.

SPEAKER_01 40:38

No.

SPEAKER_05 40:40

No, I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go palm I'm sorry, I wasn't keeping track of chakra. The crosscut is always done, right?

SPEAKER_08 40:48

Yeah. But the palm strike you'd have to activate the Biakogan for.

SPEAKER_05 40:54

Right. Never mind, you know what? I think I'm gonna go crosscut again. Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 40:59

Works first time. Don't change it. Yeah, it's it's a miss.

SPEAKER_05 41:05

You don't eat I didn't even add my IGs to you, honey.

SPEAKER_08 41:08

What is it? Is it 10 or more?

SPEAKER_05 41:10

It's a five.

SPEAKER_08 41:11

Yeah. It is a miss. And she comes at you with another uh three-point pierce. Nat 20, on one of them.

SPEAKER_05 41:23

Well, I'm dead.

SPEAKER_08 41:25

I'm unconscious. She hit. She's hit two, quit on one. Hit the third one as well.

SPEAKER_05 41:31

Yeah, I'm going unconscious.

SPEAKER_08 41:34

What if it's equal to damage?

SPEAKER_05 41:37

I'm unconscious, honey.

SPEAKER_08 41:40

Yeah. So I do want to find out how much damage exactly. Okay, I'm dealing another ten points of damage. What? Because pierce, pierce, pierce, hitting all three. One of them gets like re almost real deep in your shoulder. And Haraya goes down. You are woken up later.

SPEAKER_05 42:05

See, and this is how enemies are born.

SPEAKER_08 42:08

You're woken up later by Yuri Masaringo. She's patching you up, she's giving you blood pills. Um you can recover back to full. But the kind of last moment of that training day is you look over and Maki is smiling big. She's avenged her loss.

SPEAKER_04 42:26

She's finally not angry.

SPEAKER_08 42:27

It is now one to one. One to one?

SPEAKER_10 42:32

What are you having just a little bit?

SPEAKER_00 42:41

It's okay!

SPEAKER_08 42:44

Okay. Uh is there anything else anyone specifically wants to do or talk to before we move on to the next part?

SPEAKER_04 42:52

Can I know the the progress on our house being rebuilt?

SPEAKER_08 42:57

Yes, it's definitely getting a lot closer. Okay. But what? I don't know if it'd be possible. Oh, yes, I'm so sorry. There is something. You'll have the medical training. Yes.

SPEAKER_12 43:08

Yes.

SPEAKER_08 43:08

What were you gonna say though?

SPEAKER_12 43:10

Uh I wanted to try and look at some soul.

SPEAKER_08 43:13

Yeah, which source?

SPEAKER_12 43:15

Uh something for armor.

SPEAKER_08 43:18

Okay. So on one of these days, Kaisei hits the market. You wanna come along too, Parcy? Sure, I'll go ahead. Hey, Parse, you wanna come along with me to the market? Sure, Kaisei, let's go!

SPEAKER_04 43:31

Okay! Maybe we can find something for Hara. Just to help her land a hit. No, not even that, just to help her not yet.

SPEAKER_05 43:43

Uh yeah, some armor.

SPEAKER_08 43:45

You find your way back to Fog and Fang.

SPEAKER_05 43:48

Fog and Fang.

SPEAKER_08 43:50

I more than likely will not be able to card the armor.

SPEAKER_04 43:52

Don't even say anything. You can afford a good amount of stuff.

SPEAKER_08 43:56

Yeah, you see all kinds of things. Leather armor studded, the combat jacket, armored combat jacket, all kinds of stuff.

SPEAKER_05 44:05

Can I actually go with them? Yeah, of course. Okay.

SPEAKER_08 44:08

We'll pass that around.

SPEAKER_05 44:10

You can give some leather armor jacket.

SPEAKER_08 44:11

Yeah, y'all y'all look at that while I set up. Sorry, Han.

SPEAKER_05 44:16

Okay. I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_08 44:17

But it's just a good story, one in one.

SPEAKER_04 44:19

It is.

SPEAKER_08 44:20

There's a little bit of a rivalry going on.

SPEAKER_04 44:23

I'm gonna hold up like some studded armor and be like, look, Hariah, you can wear this. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 44:29

How much is it?

SPEAKER_08 44:45

Everyone already has padded armor, so studded better than padded?

SPEAKER_04 44:48

Yes.

SPEAKER_08 44:49

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 44:50

It would be three uh plus three to your AC. Wait, am I not layering then already?

SPEAKER_08 44:54

You are. It's underneath your I don't want to. It's for flavor, so you have it underneath.

SPEAKER_03 45:00

So yeah, you get a plus three to your AC.

SPEAKER_08 45:03

Hold on. What's padded armor? Because if it's plus two.

SPEAKER_05 45:10

Okay. So plus two to my AC. Yeah. There you go.

SPEAKER_08 45:15

From your money. That's a very kind gift.

SPEAKER_04 45:20

And then I'm gonna I'm also gonna do uh studded armor as well.

SPEAKER_05 45:27

Did you take my thing, pencil?

SPEAKER_00 45:29

No.

SPEAKER_04 45:29

Where'd it go? Uh it's in the notebook, I think.

SPEAKER_00 45:33

Oh, that's so much money right as well.

SPEAKER_04 45:37

So you said it's plus two to our current AC?

SPEAKER_08 45:40

Yes, because I think everyone had padded armor in their starting class.

SPEAKER_09 45:43

I'm gonna buy the heavy flak jacket. Oh, it is that uh yes, disadvantage with stealth. Yeah. Ooh. Yeah, heavy flak. That'll easily your style.

SPEAKER_13 45:57

Where do we have uh uh our armor? Like where is it?

SPEAKER_08 46:01

Uh it should be an inventory. It'll just say padded armor. Um uh underneath Ryu, the bottom left. That's inventory, yeah. Somewhere it should say padded armor. Oh, there it is. Okay. Yeah. You can switch that up.

SPEAKER_09 46:13

So that'll be studying.

SPEAKER_12 46:15

Will I add the plus six or just plus five?

SPEAKER_08 46:18

Plus five. Because you're at plus one right now. You're going five additional.

SPEAKER_05 46:23

And then it turned the chocolate pills and.

SPEAKER_08 46:25

Oh my god, what are you at?

SPEAKER_05 46:27

Wait, what?

SPEAKER_08 46:28

What are you at? Twenty twenty. Hey, it's the editing dungeon master here. You heard that right. Kaisei now has an AC of twenty. This was actually an accounting error because Kaisei as a Taijutsu specialist has a feat called unarmored defense, in which not only does he add his dex modifier, but also his wisdom modifier to his AC. However, in equipping armor, of course, you lose unarmored defense. So bear with us because this is not something that we caught until a few sessions later. His real AC should be 17, but we all make mistakes. It doesn't matter if it changed anything. Made for a good story anyway. What? Insane.

SPEAKER_05 47:14

Wait, what happened? You have to get a 20 to hitten.

SPEAKER_08 47:17

That is insane.

SPEAKER_05 47:18

You suck. Oh my goodness.

SPEAKER_04 47:20

Well, that's good for us.

SPEAKER_08 47:21

Is it just a disadvantage on stealth?

SPEAKER_04 47:23

So instead of throwing me at people because I'm the tank character, we're throwing Kai say for um.

SPEAKER_12 47:28

Okay, I already threw myself in this.

SPEAKER_08 47:31

It sounds overpowered, but I went off what the book says. So this is Okay.

SPEAKER_05 47:37

I think Taco Pills.

SPEAKER_12 47:39

Let me double check. What would happen if I get like what did you get? I got the uh heavy flag.

SPEAKER_08 47:45

Okay.

SPEAKER_12 47:45

Plus the five distance.

SPEAKER_08 47:47

Yes, it's okay. So that works. I think anything past like anything past the armored flak is probably off limits to you guys right now.

SPEAKER_04 47:55

Yeah, because I saw Jonine Jackie. And I was like, we can buy it as a journey jacket.

SPEAKER_08 47:58

No, no, no, you can't buy those. And uh like I cannot buy right now. Eventually. Eventually.

SPEAKER_04 48:05

And to answer your question, Hariah, let me talk to you. These are what at the apothecary.

SPEAKER_09 48:13

I see it says physical damage minus one, so like if I do take damage, would it be minus one to whatever?

SPEAKER_08 48:19

I think so. I'll have to relook at it, but that sounds right.

unknown 48:22

Okay.

SPEAKER_08 48:23

Yeah, insane. Kaisei is super dark right now.

SPEAKER_05 48:27

Trying to find it. One more, maybe? Yeah, where's the um okay.

SPEAKER_04 48:38

But a greater chocolate pill is 350. And then the blood pill is 75.

SPEAKER_05 48:44

I'll take one blood pill and one chakra pill.

unknown 48:48

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 48:48

Do I have any blood pills? 175.

SPEAKER_04 48:52

One singular chakra pill. What?

SPEAKER_08 48:54

Yeah, when you buy one, you get two uses though, so you can just say plus two.

SPEAKER_05 48:58

Oh, yes, I already have two uses.

SPEAKER_08 49:01

But you gave one to um Gisari.

SPEAKER_05 49:05

I know, that's why I have one left.

SPEAKER_08 49:06

Yeah. So if you buy one, you're getting another two. So you're up to three.

SPEAKER_10 49:11

Also get a blood pill.

SPEAKER_08 49:13

Yeah, if you got money, you can buy anything unless it's something that I think would be awkward.

SPEAKER_04 49:16

I'm gonna get one singular blood pill.

SPEAKER_09 49:19

Um one blood pill and one five.

SPEAKER_13 49:24

So that's two five minus one seven five.

SPEAKER_01 49:28

Come on, accountant.

SPEAKER_04 49:30

Plus two users. Okay. Then I gotta subtract another amount. Math the game. Math the game. Thank goodness for calculators. Yeah, for real. Can I see your song? Yeah. Alright. I'm done spending money.

SPEAKER_08 49:56

Almost are you still at over a thousand reasons?

SPEAKER_13 49:58

Still more.

SPEAKER_08 49:59

Wow, yeah. The fishing has been. I told you crazy.

SPEAKER_12 50:04

I'm just saying, you could be you could be doing these kind of numbers.

SPEAKER_05 50:08

You could wanna look at no, I don't have money. Okay. So you could get alone like I say. I will say thank you so much for the for the artwork I say. I promise, I promise to get stronger for you guys.

SPEAKER_10 50:23

How about you you just promise to go fishing so that you can also And he's ruined it.

SPEAKER_05 50:30

And he's ruined it. And now we're back to Big Ring because I just discovered them both and I'm like, ah.

SPEAKER_04 50:37

Kaisei did something nice, we appreciate Kaisei.

SPEAKER_08 50:40

I will probably cut through most of that, but the Kimmy Ching went on a little shopping spree, including uh they all got new armor, especially Kaisei, moving up to 20 AC now, which is insane. But this is how the Naruto 5e book was written, and I'm going off the rules. So there it is.

SPEAKER_02 50:57

Kaisei's broken.

SPEAKER_08 51:00

If it needs to be balanced, we might do some balances. But for now, I will allow it to happen. That's apparently how it's supposed to be balanced.

SPEAKER_03 51:07

I just don't think they were expecting a single Genin to catch not one, but two Nat 20.

SPEAKER_12 51:15

Well, two Nat 20s. And a 19. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 51:19

All back to back.

SPEAKER_08 51:20

Kaisa and Percy find their way to the Hozuki hospital.

SPEAKER_04 51:24

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_08 51:24

On entering.

SPEAKER_04 51:26

Not on fishing. I thought I got three.

SPEAKER_08 51:29

No, no, one was for the negotiation.

SPEAKER_04 51:31

The sharks and then the 19. The catfish.

SPEAKER_08 51:34

But yeah. The two of you guys find your way, you get to the hospital, and you guys ask for the um like where the training is, and the front desk nurses will point you in the direction of a little room. You guys get into the room and see a man standing at the front with uh kind of short to medium blonde hair. He's got like no sleeves, he's got like mostly black and light blue.

SPEAKER_03 52:01

Very surfing dude as that.

SPEAKER_08 52:03

Yeah, clothing with his hidden mist band being on his chest. He's got this huge, like, double-sided, like kunai-shaped weapon that's like spear-sized.

SPEAKER_04 52:11

It looks like those skateboards, though. I know. Oh, ripstick?

SPEAKER_08 52:15

Yeah, kind of ripstick-shaped, but double-edged sword thing. And he's got a little blue medical jellyfish just chilling on the top of his head.

SPEAKER_04 52:24

As one does.

SPEAKER_08 52:25

Guys, get in there, you guys see the likes of Kisari Nagusa, as well as Makashi Hebbe, Snake Girl, Snake Gorm. And a man also dressed for very cold weather. Got a walrus mask, a different guy. Um, but he's got his a huge like furry hood that he's just got. You guys get in there. Everyone goes, okay. I think that's just about all of us. Welcome in. I am Agamo uh Hozuki. I am the clan leader of the Hozuki, as well as the CEO of the hospital.

SPEAKER_05 53:04

He looks like just a fun-loving. He looks like a lifeguard.

SPEAKER_00 53:08

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_08 53:10

I'm very glad that the next generation is taking a liking to medical ninjutsu. I know it was kind of mandatory, but I see there's two from Team 18. I am grateful to get the honor to teach the next generation. You guys ready to get into it?

SPEAKER_04 53:28

Yes, sir. Let's do it!

SPEAKER_08 53:30

Yeah, Kisari kind of comes up and he goes, I I didn't know you guys were gonna be here too. It's gonna be awesome.

SPEAKER_04 53:34

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 53:34

That was just Makashi. Can I kind of sit next to y'all?

SPEAKER_04 53:40

Yeah, that's fine.

SPEAKER_08 53:42

Uh Agamo brings out to each of you, well, you're kind of all at your own like workstation. But he brings to each of your tables a um like a dried, kind of dead twig, and he sets it before you. He goes, the objective here is to focus your chakra into these mangrove branches. This species of mangrove is known for being resilient. Almost any chakra you put into it, it's going to absorb right away and bloom. But the goal is to balance your yin and yang of your chakra to get it to healing chakra. You'll know you're close when your chakra goes from blue to a greenish hue. So everyone, go ahead. Roll a chakra control check.

SPEAKER_12 54:27

19.

SPEAKER_03 54:28

Oh! I threw it at my back. Five plus three.

SPEAKER_10 54:33

Okay. What you get when you do it at your back?

SPEAKER_04 54:35

It was crooked. You can see it.

SPEAKER_08 54:38

Okay, so um Kisari and the man dressed for warm weather or cold weather both fail.

SPEAKER_03 54:46

Cool.

SPEAKER_08 54:46

Um Kai say, amazingly, almost as soon as you touch this thing, there's like these little mangrove flowers that sprout from it. They're like little white ones, they're beautiful. They just like poof as soon as almost as soon as you touch it. Um for Percy, not quite. But the man makes his way over to you, he goes, try again. So roll for it again.

SPEAKER_00 55:08

Come on!

SPEAKER_08 55:12

Percy Percy, uh, I guess you just kind of frantically grab the branch and it just snaps. I just grab it too hard.

SPEAKER_00 55:21

That one opened that one.

SPEAKER_08 55:24

It does not work. Um, Mokashis. She just kind of gently lays her hand on and it sprouts, flowers as well. She goes, alright.

SPEAKER_05 55:36

Yeah, yeah. Very interesting.

SPEAKER_04 55:39

Harvesting organs, are we? That's her money-making business. Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 55:44

Agamo spends some more time with Percy, Kisari, and the uh white-headed man. Um, the another of the walrus people.

SPEAKER_05 55:55

Snow guy.

SPEAKER_08 55:56

Snow guy. Snow guy. Snow guy.

SPEAKER_11 55:58

The snow guy.

SPEAKER_08 55:59

Um, he works with you guys. You guys get to a point where it's barely working.

SPEAKER_13 56:03

One singular sprout.

SPEAKER_08 56:05

But he's like, alright, we'll move on to the next thing. And he brings out a some beakers of what looked to be a brownish liquid, maybe a small coffee. Oh, okay. I was like, ooh. And he sets some.

SPEAKER_13 56:23

Oh, I was like, Well, are you handing us, brother?

SPEAKER_08 56:26

And he goes, I would like you guys now to focus your chakra. And hello, it is the editing DM here again. And unfortunately, the last 30 minutes of this session, we lost two of our audio tracks. Um, one of them being mine. So bear with us. The audio problems um we're trying to fix them. So that is why the last bit of this session sounds a little hard to hear. We apologize for the inconvenience.

SPEAKER_07 57:04

What?

SPEAKER_08 57:12

When you're working with poisons, poisons and separating liquids and being very, very hard on the brain.

SPEAKER_12 57:26

16 a day.

SPEAKER_05 57:30

Do you have anything to add with your chakra control?

SPEAKER_08 57:33

Yeah, post two. Yeah, and you hold on to it and you then switch.

SPEAKER_00 57:37

And Percy got post three.

SPEAKER_06 57:40

Oh? Yeah. Percy gets it.

SPEAKER_00 57:42

Yay!

SPEAKER_05 57:43

Wow.

SPEAKER_06 57:44

Splash and a little bit's coming out of the coffee. But for Kaisei, you do it in a few.

SPEAKER_05 57:48

Oh, you wouldn't want that in a body. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 57:52

The white combo comes very dark brown. Successfully separate the liquids. As you let go, they slowly start seeing it. Very well done.

SPEAKER_08 58:00

Percy barely gets it. It's very rough. There's a little like blur line in the middle, but for the most part, you get it successfully. Um kind of similar. Um very well. Starting to get it. Um getting better. Um before we had about two weeks from two weeks from the disregard. Okay. Um, you guys are with Sekula one day. I know, but she tells you. Alright, everyone, finally at permission duty. We're going back out.

SPEAKER_12 58:48

Yay! I'm feeling great.

SPEAKER_05 58:54

Well, yeah, because Kaise's, you know, catching fish, getting money, learning new things successfully.

SPEAKER_10 59:01

You have the option to make money.

SPEAKER_05 59:04

I'm trying to train. I'm trying to prioritize training. You know, being a shinobi.

SPEAKER_11 59:15

I kind of swore I heard you pass out from it.

SPEAKER_05 59:19

I still haven't found your family's killer!

SPEAKER_04 59:25

Wow.

SPEAKER_10 59:26

I did the monkey karma being.

SPEAKER_04 59:30

Didn't you also get like an e-score or a casari?

SPEAKER_09 59:35

No, not an easy score, a one-o. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I lost.

SPEAKER_05 59:39

Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah, not a very good idea.

SPEAKER_06 59:41

I I didn't have the experience.

SPEAKER_05 59:43

At least mine's a tie.

SPEAKER_03 59:45

You guys make you bring after a very tense walk. I've just had so much confidence.

SPEAKER_07 59:55

You guys get in there. Get in there.

SPEAKER_09 59:58

Get in there.

SPEAKER_07 1:00:00

We find Ari sitting there, waiting. Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_04 1:00:07

We're seeing a lot of Cassari.

SPEAKER_05 1:00:09

We're seeing a we're we're seeing a lot of Mafi.

SPEAKER_07 1:00:14

You guys, um, yeah, get this in the four is already there. As well as sitting on Mujikoge's desk.

SPEAKER_04 1:00:23

I don't know why I thought you were gonna say sitting on his lap. Yeah, me too. I was like, oh, did we interrupt something? Sorry.

SPEAKER_06 1:00:32

Two cats.

SPEAKER_13 1:00:34

Oh yay!

SPEAKER_06 1:00:35

Wearing headbands.

SPEAKER_07 1:00:39

There are two shinobi cats.

SPEAKER_13 1:00:40

Oh my goodness!

SPEAKER_07 1:00:42

Oh I'm not happy with the other pattern, it's not as good as I want.

SPEAKER_13 1:00:47

Oh and Frenchy! And you just see them closer. Oh you know, scrumpiness just right.

SPEAKER_06 1:00:58

It's got a the black and white one has a purple banana, it's filled with sign.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:05

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_08 1:01:06

Another one is uh how much described that pattern. I don't know if that padding very well. Uh tabby. A tabby cap. Yeah. With a form headband and like a little purple vest.

SPEAKER_07 1:01:19

There you go. Um, can you tell me how some personality for this?

SPEAKER_03 1:01:23

Uh Frenchy, very grumpy attitude. Uh very sass, yeah. Okay.

SPEAKER_04 1:01:28

Um and then sprout aloof, kind of lazy, very smooth. Clumsy. Clumsy is a good one desk.

SPEAKER_10 1:01:34

So you guys get in there.

SPEAKER_04 1:01:36

Polar opposite.

SPEAKER_05 1:01:37

She got in a Maya.

SPEAKER_06 1:01:39

The black one is laying on its back, kind of like pawing at something on the Jukagi's desk. Um, the cabby looking one is just stood there firm. That is staring you guys down. You guys come in.

SPEAKER_08 1:01:53

Mujikogi goes, now that we're all here, it's been a while since anyone's been out on a mission. But we have a very important one today. Team 4, team 18, along with the situation, French.

SPEAKER_07 1:02:12

We're going on a double mission, the Leaf Village.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:19

Wow!

SPEAKER_10 1:02:20

And he goes, except around.

SPEAKER_04 1:02:23

You have training, right?

SPEAKER_03 1:02:25

Yeah, you're training.

SPEAKER_10 1:02:27

Uh there's some uh you know, you got some special training we need you to kind of complete.

SPEAKER_05 1:02:33

That would just be cruel. I know. Now that might be Rogue Shinobi. Yeah. I'm going to kinda. Oh my goodness. Going to the Leap Village? So Brian is like.

SPEAKER_07 1:02:47

The objective is this.

SPEAKER_08 1:02:50

Everyone will aboard a ship. Uh currently sitting at port 8. There's a trade caravan on the mist going to the leap. You are all to guard the caravan safely and get to the leaflet.

SPEAKER_07 1:03:06

From there, game four will head back to the caravan and back. Game 18 is a new temporary or two more days in order to investigate.

SPEAKER_08 1:03:21

There is a T shop for the Silver Steve Colour. And the Ukade there is um I need the issue that there is a unique card. I'm trying to take this place out. Now we're in the travel. That's the hydrogen. We don't know what we need to do.

SPEAKER_05 1:04:18

Well, on the boat. Or in the village.

SPEAKER_08 1:04:24

However, once in the village, we will be separated in the caravan. So it won't be as much the the handover uh as well as another. Handover.

SPEAKER_05 1:04:54

Oh yeah, I didn't see the happy yeah. I the thing is happy.

SPEAKER_08 1:05:13

Hands over 10,000 years.

SPEAKER_07 1:05:21

These three, as you T19 knows before, were involved in the 3000 half. We believe that Gomingus has a higher hand than one second.

SPEAKER_00 1:05:36

We're going to the leaf, you guys!

SPEAKER_09 1:05:39

Like how you guys are like, we're going to the leaf, and I'm just like, Jen? Just what?

SPEAKER_06 1:05:46

Who could we find?

SPEAKER_09 1:05:49

I say, like, who can I murder? Right, because every single new person I'm gonna be like, have you seen these people? Have you have you have you seen these people?

SPEAKER_06 1:06:00

Now, this will be D Main Team's first C rank mission.

SPEAKER_00 1:06:05

Ooh.

SPEAKER_08 1:06:06

In a caravan and guardian, we can expect there may be some trouble and some conflict. There's a lot of valuable materials, including between lands, beyond you have to defend yourself, do. But once you are in leaf, it's advised you not to contact any weak authorities or the Hokage himself directly about in regards to mission. It will be up to Sekima to determine whether or not to come.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:34

So will the Hokage know that we're there, Sekuka?

SPEAKER_09 1:06:38

Well I'm sure he'll know, you just can't reach out.

SPEAKER_03 1:06:44

She's like, don't mind me.

SPEAKER_06 1:06:47

Of course the Hokage is aware of the mission. Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_03 1:06:52

It's not us specifically.

SPEAKER_08 1:06:54

It was his request for us to not send any information of who's going on the mission or what day or time in order to be met.

SPEAKER_03 1:07:03

Okay. Um, it's did did core if you can talk to you? Yeah?

SPEAKER_07 1:07:13

Yes, I'm I'm sorry, I've been very busy.

SPEAKER_08 1:07:16

Um we'll have some time here and that. The the boat doesn't leave for a few hours. We're fine if you say goodbye, but your things, do some shopping for materials.

SPEAKER_06 1:07:26

Well I was asking Did Core if you can talk to him about the Yeah, time. Oh, okay. Okay, so talk to him.

SPEAKER_04 1:07:31

There's other people in the room is No, I can't I thought I thought he didn't hear what I said. Sorry.

SPEAKER_08 1:07:38

Um there's another important piece of information. The Silversteep harbor is ran by a man named Joe Razzo. Joe Razzo. Joe Razo.

SPEAKER_06 1:07:49

J-O-R-A-C-N.

SPEAKER_05 1:07:52

Joe Razzo? Forget about the man.

SPEAKER_00 1:07:58

Right. Thank you. Thank you for that. Please down. Okay.

SPEAKER_03 1:08:02

J-O-R-W's again?

SPEAKER_06 1:08:09

The Silver Steep Ar. The chaos.

SPEAKER_05 1:08:16

Silver what?

SPEAKER_11 1:08:17

Silver Steep. 60 K T.

SPEAKER_05 1:08:20

Yeah. And um, I'm sorry, can you say the names of the other two rogue ninja that were with Suzaku?

SPEAKER_08 1:08:29

Chiyomi Nagusa. So C H uh I.

SPEAKER_05 1:08:35

Y O M I.

SPEAKER_07 1:08:37

Yes. And Yakubaru.

SPEAKER_05 1:08:45

The Y A K U. Yes.

SPEAKER_06 1:08:50

Um right now.

SPEAKER_05 1:08:52

Yakubaru.

SPEAKER_04 1:08:54

What is the the shop owner's name?

SPEAKER_05 1:08:57

Joe Razo. Kade. And um Yakubaru's last name?

SPEAKER_07 1:09:03

Yodata. The Nikaga goes. The journey, one way, will take anywhere from a day and a half to two. We've estimated you will need at least three days within the village.

SPEAKER_08 1:09:15

It should be around a week. So, but again, if you need more time, please stay under Satuma's discretion. You can send I would say you can send words back to this village, but again, we we don't know where the leak is. It could be within the coroner's office as well. You guys will kind of be on radio silence.

SPEAKER_05 1:09:36

Sir, if those are all of the details. Um sorry, if we're able to successfully complete our mission in a reasonable amount of time. Is it possible to visit with friends and family briefly before returning home?

SPEAKER_08 1:09:55

Of course. I'm not expecting you, a lot of you to be on Instagrams 24-7. Again, kind of up to second. I don't necessarily need to know the details of how many hours you're saying at the takeout and investigation, but logically you can have a few hours to do so.

SPEAKER_04 1:10:14

And the hypothetical that we do get to this tea house and it is still sweet clean, what is our mission then?

SPEAKER_08 1:10:28

As hard as we can. One of our last itch efforts. At the same time, we have reasonable suspicion that there's not enough to infringe upon the lights. Not gonna go in gun blazing unless we have gammable evidence.

SPEAKER_05 1:10:47

Not going inconiably.

SPEAKER_08 1:10:52

We're doing a stakeout. The goal is to find gammable evidence. Once done, so we can find some kind of lead, some kind of something we can bring to the Hokaga, you can do it, you can do something. We'll send word back. But we have to get something that we know that they cannot hide upon sharing that information.

SPEAKER_05 1:11:14

Sir, may I ask what the compensation for this mission is?

SPEAKER_07 1:11:17

Compensation?

SPEAKER_08 1:11:20

It'll be 150 GU a day, again, we're estimating about a week. However, if we find that you are lowligging or spending a month in the village, we will have some questions.

SPEAKER_05 1:11:33

Of course, sir.

SPEAKER_04 1:11:37

Uh he mentioned two shinobi cats.

SPEAKER_08 1:11:40

Yes, correct. As the um the black one just kind of like falls and tumbles on to the ground and regulates itself up and finds that on uh the desk because again, these are Sprout and Frenchie. Mainly, they are not necessarily combat companions. They can fight their shinobi. But their specialty is perception, tracking, and uh scouting. So they will be a great hand in potentially fake out or scouting head for danger in the character.

SPEAKER_07 1:12:16

And they uh look to you.

SPEAKER_08 1:12:20

They can't talk because they're like shiny ones. Um the tabby is just eyeing you up and down and side. Is what I got to work with?

SPEAKER_07 1:12:29

Are you sure about this easy carga?

SPEAKER_08 1:12:32

Oh no. And uh the Nizy carge is just settle down.

SPEAKER_05 1:12:42

Settle down.

SPEAKER_10 1:12:44

Um earlier I got a blood pill. Was that two use? Okay, cool.

SPEAKER_08 1:12:51

Uh if anyone has any other questions regarding the mission, please ask so now. People have been very silent so far.

SPEAKER_10 1:13:02

Well, real quick, what kind of supplies do you think we'd need? Well, or recommend.

SPEAKER_08 1:13:10

Given some money to the sensei. We provide lodging. But uh, yeah, they're on e-ship. It is an overnight journey and they will provide food on the ship as well as meals during the crowd. Once you're there again, the sensei will provide lodging. Then take all of your gear, everything you need. Because, you know, the entire way over here, Kai says each step is gonna change.

SPEAKER_05 1:13:40

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:13:42

Well, you mentioned that Team 4 will be going back with the ship.

SPEAKER_06 1:13:46

Caravan.

SPEAKER_04 1:13:47

The caravan. After our mission, success or not, how did we get back?

SPEAKER_08 1:13:54

Oh. Just you won't be guarding anyone. Alright. And he kind of gestures for everyone to leave besides.

SPEAKER_00 1:14:04

Bye, guys! Ooh, he's insane!

SPEAKER_06 1:14:11

And um yeah, I feel like there's maybe like pause him a little bit.

SPEAKER_08 1:14:15

Paul's her, right?

SPEAKER_13 1:14:16

Yeah, they're both girls, yep.

SPEAKER_08 1:14:17

And they will get out as well. Everyone leaves, besides here, here. The entire time during that battle, Maki has just arms crossed, um, Mariah every now and then.

SPEAKER_07 1:14:35

This is an audio podcast, remember? Right, right. I spoke to Ork.

SPEAKER_08 1:14:46

As you're going to be village, I would suggest not talking to the Hokage. We proceeded to spend the next five to ten minutes discussing whether or not to reveal who the Hokage is at this point in the timeline, which again is about one year before Boroto. We ultimately decided we didn't want to spoil it for Jess, who plays Percy, and had to find a story explanation for why they couldn't talk with the Hokage.

SPEAKER_06 1:15:24

Look, I I just think it's better in general for you to avoid talking with you when we advise you not to have a new jersey.

SPEAKER_07 1:15:35

I will try to set something up with you. Hold on.

SPEAKER_08 1:15:46

And this this mission has been once making very diligent.

SPEAKER_07 1:15:51

I'd rather not risk talking to certain figures at this time.

SPEAKER_04 1:15:57

Well, I'm certain the whole caveat is gonna want to know the success of the mission.

SPEAKER_07 1:16:02

We can make a report. But again, very fragile. Rather we get in, get out, permission. Reports and filling.

SPEAKER_06 1:16:12

So you're just gonna have to work a few years. Yeah, okay. Yeah. There's just like the storm.

SPEAKER_05 1:16:20

Wait, you're gonna tell her later, then we might as well.

SPEAKER_09 1:16:23

No, I'm not gonna spoil it. I'm gonna explain why it's I'm gonna explain why it's a bigger secret. Okay, alright.

SPEAKER_05 1:16:29

It's just like stuff in the show that we don't want to spoil spoiling stuff.

SPEAKER_09 1:16:35

That's the main thing. Okay, alright.

SPEAKER_05 1:16:37

Yeah.

SPEAKER_09 1:16:37

Percy's. We're trying to keep you in Murse. Yes. Exactly.

SPEAKER_04 1:16:42

I appreciate that. Thank you.

SPEAKER_06 1:16:44

So Percy's just gonna cloud's a very close ally.

SPEAKER_04 1:16:55

So how quickly can you set it?

SPEAKER_05 1:16:59

Based on Trust me, you want to meet Killer Bee. Damn!

SPEAKER_04 1:17:05

I still don't even know what that is. We already said it! You didn't say that's a switch.

SPEAKER_05 1:17:11

Yes we did.

SPEAKER_06 1:17:13

Alright.

SPEAKER_05 1:17:14

Yes we did! Sorry, I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_06 1:17:20

Sorry now tonight. My apologies. Even if you assume they know by now, it's just a good idea.

SPEAKER_05 1:17:28

Okay, you're right. You're right. Sorry.

SPEAKER_04 1:17:30

Uh okay, so you said we set up with with the cloud, right? Yes, with the cloud.

SPEAKER_08 1:17:37

They have two now, so it'll be good for the three of you, kind of me.

SPEAKER_04 1:17:43

It's just like apparently I um it's easy for me to lose control. I just I want to be able to learn how to control it as quickly as possible.

SPEAKER_06 1:17:53

At least for the first part of the journey, the colour featured will be there to be able to suppress it. I don't know where to go around. But you have reminded me of something. Doesn't heal these attacks?

SPEAKER_08 1:18:09

There's a lot of tension. So on the ship, please remind everyone have their best clothing. You don't want to add anything. As well as you tell Haraya Remind her what I said about the that they want her back.

SPEAKER_07 1:18:32

And they may be willing to make lashes. But as of right now, she belongs to the case.

SPEAKER_05 1:18:42

Sorry, I'm not there. I'm not in the room. I'm not in the room. But you know, kind of feels like I'm being held captive.

SPEAKER_11 1:18:51

You could be kidnapped or held captive with the rest of your family.

SPEAKER_06 1:20:59

SPEAKER_05 1:21:17

Remember that one time you came over and group and I think it was ID. She's like, I think it might keep like rubbed his nose on your shoulder.

SPEAKER_08 1:21:28

The snot and slob or just as you guys are heading to the ward, Sekima kind of intercepts you at the docks. She goes, headbands, off. Right. You can start away.

SPEAKER_07 1:21:47

Do not knock him out of your pocket. Please.

SPEAKER_11 1:21:52

I'm gonna put it with my somewhat luggage type. What if they start to get it to something?

SPEAKER_08 1:22:00

Yeah. You're incapable of holding what you learned. I will hold it for you.

SPEAKER_03 1:22:06

Okay, I'll do it for you. Yeah. I'll keep it.

SPEAKER_10 1:22:12

She was like, I didn't realize I had to bother you.

SPEAKER_08 1:22:16

The burden of should not be as heavy, and I understand it.

SPEAKER_05 1:22:24

AKA, do not give her your headband.

SPEAKER_03 1:22:27

She said you really want to make that choice.

SPEAKER_00 1:22:31

Don't lose it. There's no guarantee that it's basketball, like short.

SPEAKER_08 1:22:37

You guys begin to board a ship on the way in. Give me a perception check.

SPEAKER_12 1:22:45

18 plus oh, can I say you clock as you're walking in?

SPEAKER_08 1:22:52

The vessel you're boarding, it's a little bit more modern, very big. It's not really a sailboat, it's more of like a kind of cross between steam and like more modern boat. Like it's got an engine to it. It's definitely bigger. Um, there are like, you know, y'all are all seeing like carts and things being loaded onto it like a giant ferry. And you see on the side the rolling marlin, and then you see underneath it to Ryu shipbuilders. Like as a as the manufacturer. And you have a vague memory of seeing kind of some news spread around the village of there was a manufacturer of Toryu shipbuilders who there was some kind of event where there was an assassin, well, it's actually known. Kojimara murdered all of the shipbuilders. Do you guys remember that's one of the end stories? Yeah, orthodox. Yes. But that kind of rings true as like you recognize the manufacturer name. That's that's all. Great old time.

SPEAKER_13 1:23:58

Great old time, yeah.

SPEAKER_08 1:24:29

The night before, on the Mist Village Docks, countless merchants and vendors flocked their goods into storehouses in preparation for the caravan departing tomorrow. Dobuto, the boy last seen traveling with the Rogue Shinobi Kojimara after the slaughter of the Toryu shipbuilders, is sitting with an elderly man. The two are amidst a sea of masks. Most of them look cheap and touristy, except for three strung together hanging off the orange robes of Dobuto. They were more gray in hue, with a subtle scent of volcanic ash. Those were strictly not for sale. The elderly man bared some resemblance to Dobuto, like a rushed version of what someone related to the boy might look like. Or perhaps it was just that they both had soot grey hair.

SPEAKER_01 1:25:12

The boy peeped over at the man. Koji uh sorry, Takime.

SPEAKER_08 1:25:18

What is the reason for joining this caravan again? I don't believe you're the type to have a passion for selling masks. The man's already wrinkled face furrowed even further.

SPEAKER_01 1:25:27

Watch your words, boy. I have already told you, a caravan like this is the easiest way to enter the Leaf village. We will blend in with the merchants, and guards will disregard the Yamanaka special barrier. The Leaf is so enveloped in trade and that gate checks are just a formality now. Once inside, we'll gather a special sample.

SPEAKER_08 1:25:48

The man looks towards the masks that Doboto adorns.

SPEAKER_01 1:25:51

That power of yours will be quite useful.

SPEAKER_08 1:25:54

He then folds up the cloth that sat underneath the masks into a large overstuffed backpack that dwarfs his elderly body and pushes off the ground with great effort.

SPEAKER_01 1:26:03

Oh, come on. This spot is dead. We'll find more customers on Main Street.

SPEAKER_12 1:26:21

Episodes will be coming out every second and fourth Wednesday. Don't forget to check out the Patreon where episodes will be coming out two weeks early. Thank you guys for listening.
