Ascent of a Lunar Maelstrom [Naruto/Exalted]

Yeah, if we take to long then we may run into an interesting situation.

 

[codeRR]

[X] Stunt: The aura- your Anima- flares silver as you rush forward, Sasuke answering you in kind. Your fists meet in a cacophony of muffled thumps, each impact driving you further on. What strikes you can't block, you dodge, flowing around Sasuke's attacks in a way that's more reminiscent of his fighting style than your own. Eventually, you score the first strike, your fist sinking into his abdomen even as his own attack seeks out your head.

 

[codeRR]

Yes....a good Naruto quest as a Lunar

 

[Diller]

[X] You rush, intent on making the best of your newfound power. Let the Teme eat his words, you were never one to give up, and neither you intend to start now. You strike, an upward kick to the face and he evades low. But that was only the first shot. A pair of shadow clone follow through with straight punches to both sides of his head forcing him to block. A third turns a ground-sliding kick into a handstand, again manifesting your grudge with his face. His arms occupied, he has no way to guard, but you hadn't finished: your last clone of this batch has just finished aiming you down, and down you come, your fist on his skull like a meteor, driving the back of it to the earth.

Now originally I was going to make Naruto's Solar an OC that came from Creation. However, someone suggested I turn Sakura into a Solar. The Solar in question is Merela. I am handing the vote to you to see what you would like more.

The character is overwhelmed by the realization that there are those who will want to hurt the ones she cares for. She will defend her wards vigorously, even laying her own life on the line. The Crocodile Mother will do everything in her power to stop anyone or anything that actively tries to harm those in her care. Those who move too close to her wards or who otherwise act threateningly or disagreeable will be warned to cease their behavior, lest she will attack them outright to nullify the perceived threat.

Partial Control: While the character will still try to stop disagreeable or threatening behavior, she will not initiate physical violence to do so. If her wards are physically attacked or otherwise obviously threatened, she will protect them, but she will not lay down her life for them.

You should know by now, they are most likely going to turn Naruto at least Bi so... Just warning a head of time. With Sexy Technique and the Lunar Knack, Twin-Face Hero. They can use 'Naruko'.

Also, in regards to outferaling the Inuzuka, we're a lunar now so it might be a bit late to complain about that. And then there's this little thing called beastmen...

We already have an adequate tell. Further look at the shadow is quite literally the way to defeat the most basic of ninjutsu Bushin. Everyone is trained to do it from being a genin. Our birth mark tell can at least be sold as scars or surviving kyuubi exposure.

Karin latches onto Sasuke before she joined Orochimaru when he saved her life from a giant bear that had killed her teammated during the chunnin exams. If she is a Solar that likely won't ever happen. Also Solars tend to only be superhuman at the skills they are good at before exalting (at first the round out as the get really old) Karin doesn't ever show any real social ability so she will probably be spending her favored abilities on twilight skills (science!), awareness(chakra sensor), and other ninja skills not covered by her caste abilities as a dawn.

We know she would be a dawn because her past incarnation was one.

Would like to clear up that both Karin and Sakura have similar skills. Only difference is Awareness and combat ability, really.

Who said she was already exalted before then? Cause Naruto kinda exalted first, will explain later. So all I have to say is that she is currently latched on to Sasuke and not yet an exalt.

I get they have similar skills my point was that she isn't likely to have any social charms as they don't fit her pre-exaltation skillset and generally solars get better at what they do, and don't pick up new skillsets unless they either are forced to learn or if it is a caste skill.

I have trouble seeing a solar putting up with the shit she gets from Sasuke and Orochimaru so I doubt we are going to see her in the same relationship dynamic as canon.

True. it wouldn't be the same. But then again, she is obsessed with Sasuke. To the point where she forgive him for STABBING her. So it will be interesting to see how poor Sasuke survives an obsessed solar. Then you have the Dynamic with Naruto, both as clan members and as exalts. Who says she wouldn't use her Solar-ness to force Naruto to accept her as Clan Head especially if she has Merela. But then again, who says she would do that. It could be a very interesting set-up.

Sakura would have a different Dynamic as well. She just had her first love interest try to leave after confessing her love and begged the man who loved her to bring him back. I bet there would be conflict with herself after Sasuke's return, especially when Naruto seems to be drifting away from her. Will she try to once again pursue the man who spurned her affections or will she try to keep Naruto from slipping away? Now add Merela to the mix and you have quite an interesting set up as well.

(since I saw this one suggested)
Temari is an interesting one if she ever became a Solar. She has her own Dynamic with her siblings and Naruto. With Naruto, she already views him in a pretty favorable light for saving her brother from darkness. So with that one also has potental.
