Age of Shinobi (Always Open, Naruto, OOC)

[New Rob Halfordia]

Okay, the actions clean and easy to follow, the use of the booulder jutsus was fun. I don't really have any improvements to suggest. If you wanted to extend it you could do a little more introspection or plan a counter attack but it's fine as is.

Thanks for the compliments.

One thing I'm trying to work on is my gratuitous use of commas, of which, I only seem to notice after I've posted.

Ah the commas, that's a pretty common thing, I notice it all the time in my own writing unless I heavily draft it.

By the way you're a co-op right? could you look over Sonitusia and Aidannadia's new apps? Be nice to have the whole team squared away and ready to post.

[New Neros]

Edited muh post. I forgot to mention that Akira is the one who told Kaizo to protect Akiko.

HNNG

All apps are accepted if they haven't already been.

Also, I'll do a poll for the power creep discussion. I personally don't mind powerful moves and techniques if they're well written and such. Like, I'm not going to just come out of the woodwork with Railgun Accelerator randomly, it'll be built up to and in the midst of a very intense fight. Particle Style I'm "eh" about, but Rob knows what's good and what's not, I trust him.

I think most of us are cool.

We could have a poll on favorite village, character, kage ect. Typical narutard stuff.

All these apps were added to the list, under Kirigakure's Team 5.

Now, to read the IC, which I haven't done in more than 12 hours. Yay.

Favorite village it is!

Apparently, Mitsuki had the audacity to say that his 'father' still no idea how on earth this occurred. Is more powerful than Naruto and Sasuke. I mean, the crap had me raging. Orochimaru is not worthy to be called a Sanin. His feats are minimal and non existent when compared to most comparable characters, and a quick sum up.

Naruto
-Mastered Sage Jutsu
-Defeated the Six Pains
No more feats are needed and that is just to the invasion of Pain arc, I dont even know what he does after.

Sasuke
-Killed Danzo
-Battled Killer B(Lost but still went toe to toe)
-Went toe to toe with Itachi(Who Orochimaru could not defeat if he was dreaming it)
-Battled all five Kage
And again, this is not even all of the feats and only goes up to around the same point I believe.

Now, for all I can think of for Orochimaru
-Caused the Death of 3rd Hokage(He killed himself, and he was far from his prime, and Orochimaru was in his prime, I think)
-Battled Jiraiya and Tsunade(While he was crippled, Jiraiya was poisoned and I think Tsunade was healthy)
-Failed to gain Itachi's Body
-Akatsuki drop out
-Failed to gain Sasuke's body
-Killed By Sasuke
-Trained, and abandoned Anko(Seriously, best part about his character was Anko)

Orochimaru was barely a decent opening villain. I, just really dislike his character, and inventing a child for him and throwing him in the story was just...laziness.

My chief source of information on the series after I stopped watching it had been my sister. She refuses to watch/read the final chapters, so I'm a little ignorant to those finaly few chapters that include pairings and stuff like that. Can I get a link?

On Orochimaru, he was not a real 'villain'. He was more of a plot device. I would say his ability to survive alone made him a Sanin. He was meant to bring about discord and create the seeds that would eventually culminate in Kabuto and Sasuke.

Basically, he was an excuse to make Sasuke even more 3edgy5u, but standalone I have no problem with him. I rather liked his theme. If he has a clone or something, no doubt that clone will also become a MAJOR contender in the plot to come. It would only be in the ature of is character to brig strength to anything related to him.

Team five can start assembling at the trainign grounds and we'll kick something off.

I like Orochimaru plenty, he's a mad scientist who turns into snakes and has a permanent smoker's lung. What's not to like? If he ends up underwhelming it's only because that's the inevitable fate of shonene villains after new, more powerful villains are introduced. THe fact that he manages to make himself relevant at all after his initial defeat is impressive considering his position.

[Imperial--japan]

You do realize he's a cripple, right?

You say it like it is a handicap. Not for him. But yeah, just a reference to his self challenges.

Just read more on Mitsuki...must....not....

You don't give Orochimaru enough credit really. You really only listed his failures while listing the successes of the other two.

- Owned a summon, because owning a summon is actually relatively hard to accomplish unless someone is passing their contract down.
- Orochimaru, being skilled and diverse in elemental ninjutsu, can use all five elemental chakra nature transformations as well as Yin and Yang Release.
- Being the only true adherent to science in the show, he managed to basically invent his own ways of becoming immortal. (Living corpse reincarnation)
- Orochimaru is one of the three people capable of performing Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation.
- Orochimaru's other method of immortality are the cursed seals he developed. In addition to his senjutsu chakra, each cursed seal contains a portion of Orochimaru's consciousness, which allows him to share the senses of those who bear his seals. In the event that he is killed or sealed, he can be revived through one of his cursed seals if an individual presses flesh containing his DNA up to the cursed seal and uses the Evil Releasing Method. Through this process, Orochimaru can be completely resurrected any number of times.
- Although downplayed for much of the series, Orochimaru is also very skilled in the use of fūinjutsu.
- Orochimaru would of become capable of sage mode, had it not been for his weakning body as a result of his reincarnations.
- His fight with the third Hokage did not have Orochimaru in his prime, but simply shortly after one of his reincarnations, which would only leave him relatively stronger than if he waited for the body to decay some.

Now don't get me wrong, he is not stronger than Naruto or Sasuke at this point, but he was plenty able to be called a Sannin, which is all I'm trying to say.

[Shadowwell]

I thought the manga revealed Orochimaru is actually in permanent sage mode?
Thus his somewhat strange appearance.

People, please put plot points in spoilers.

Happy? Honestly you'd think once they clicked the spoiler, they'd look away if it was truly such an issue instead of reading each sentence down the list. Common sense really.

I didn't mean actually title the spoiler. I meant just spoiler any spoilers. You did, so you're good.

Yeah sorry about that Rob, I forgot most people havent watched/read that far.
Although you might be talking about the guy who posted the names of the Rookie 9's children.

[Alouite]

Sorry for my lack of availability yesterday. What did I miss?

[Alouite]

Did I get the squad leader position?

[Sonitusia]

Alright, posted for Wakana of Team 5.

[The Templar High Council]

Did I get the squad leader position?

Yes you did. Look at Team6 and read what they've been doing IC. Apparently, they're waiting for you, being the stereotypically late jonin "training their patience."

Just say you got lost on the path of life, that normally works.

[Aidannadia]

Temp, the lake portion is the genjutsu, right? Getting around it or through it will lead us somewhere we don't want to go or something?

No, the "genjutsu" is preventing us from leaving the mist until all the clones are beaten. The trial for the lake is that there are traps hidden in the trees and stones that will try to take us out. I'll spring those after we beat the clones and we enter the forest.

Bravo on Souma thinking to disguise us as each other. I wouldn't have thought of that.

More or less, that will be my post. Expect it soon.
