Cosmos Quest (Naruto/Lupin III)

[Unclouded]

I forget is there anything special about Ami's sword? Or is it just a generic blade?

 

[Vindictus]

It's a decent enough blade. Ami's father bought it for her, and she had the pot-iron crap blade taken out and replaced with a fairly average pig-cutter.

No special magic in the blade itself, but Ami knows how to make up for that with her own stupid ninja tricks.

 

[Hymn of Ragnarok]

Unless it's not that Suigetsu can 'teleport' in his field, he just becomes intangible but relatively stationary? Him being intangible isn't as dangerous as him being able to do literal hit and fade runs on us.

But given how broken you've made these characters, I'm going to assume the worst.

....Which would be Suigetsu pumping out water clones as well and ALL of them doing the same damned tactic. And even if they're stationary they'd be a lot of them for him to control.

Yup. I want outta this mist. This is a bad place to be and I thought it was pretty bad to start with.

 

[Unclouded]

[X] Throw a couple of exploding tags at the windows above the statue to shatter them, hop up to sit on the windowsill and breathe fresh air so you don't pass out, pour a couple of bottles of hairspray you brought down from your room for this occasion into the fog, and Goukakyuu the floor.

Also best to have our sword at the ready when we finish this as I doubt he'll give us long after the arena is on fire to sneak attack us.

 

[Hymn of Ragnarok]

At this point I'll be happy if this even starts to dispel the mist and we don't die. He'll probably start assaulting us with ranged ninjutsu, if he knows any. Depending on what he can launch, he may launch bits of himself or a water clone at us or around our position entrap us or knock him into the mist.

Which is sounding more and more like a death sentence.

Where's naplam when you need it? ._.

You didn't make Ranton tags, you made flashbangs and smokebombs. Ranton tags would have cut into your custom storage-seal development time.

Which might have been a fair trade, seeing as you haven't made use of that portable backup-generator yet.

Then what are the special tags Hinata says we gave her?

EDIT: Oh, special EXPLODING tags. My bad, I guess.

 

[FurikoMaru]

Flashbangs and smokebombs. Most exploding tags just explode. You knowing how to make flashbangs is the ninja-kid equivalent of that girl in your fifth-grade class who was really good at hair-wraps and friendship bracelets; not earth-shaking knowledge, but quite cool for someone her age.

 

[Hymn of Ragnarok]

Drat. Well, our back-up chakra was a good ace-in-the-hole and we learned a fair bit, but not helping Ami right now.

I'm curious, can Ami really pull off Plan B without a Z-Slash? Even now that it's the lesser evil it still feels like it would take a long time even if we opened those hair spray bottles by perforating them.

EDIT: Laptop about to die. If needed to pull off, I can use a Z-Slash. Hopefully it's not.

 

[FurikoMaru]

You'd need a Zantetsuken to actually hurt Suigetsu that way, but as for dispersing the mist with an infusion of flammable chemicals and the necessary flame? You can manage without one.

I mean, he figured this fight was in the bag the moment he let loose with KnJ.

[X] But don't play with me, 'cause you're playin' with fire...

Rolling Stones- Play with Fire.

You are Kuwabara Ami, and being underestimated is seriously starting to piss you off.
Oh, sure, call it hypocritical after the way you reacted to Kiba, but Kiba isn't you and Suigetsu isn't Gaara. There was absolutely no call for Hyuuga Neji to shout for you to 'wait', and as for Ino calling your name like you'd just thrown yourself off a cliff...
I'm not the one encouraging a sleazy lounge lizard even after what happened with the last one!

That's uncool, Ami.
Way uncool.
Not comparable situations at all.
Though it does explain her reaction to Ino's teasing.

For another, you have a cunning plan.

Reference GET: Baldrick catchphrase, from the BBC series Blackadder

That takes me from 3 1/3 to 3 2/3 Z-slashes.

"Sorry," you say. "I just wanted to tell you it's pretty."
"Oh, you are so dead!"
Again, almost a brotherly air. It'd set you at ease, if he weren't a fucking apprentice swordsman permitted to wear the signature filed teeth of a successor.

Click to shrink...

That's an interesting custom, filed teeth; not seen in Japan, or much of the East IIRC.
Lol at Ami being polite, and Suigetsu taking it as an insult.

[X] Goryuuka no Jutsu! Set the fucking ceiling on fire and let evaporation solve this little problem for you.

[X] Write in?

Click to shrink...

Option A would be exceedingly metal if she could maintain the ceiling fire throughout the match, especially if she jumped to the top of the hands/statue; as a Fire user I expect Ami would have more heat resistance than Suigetsu.
And Suigetsu is prone to dehydration in canon; as a debuff it would work, provided he didn't have enough Water to try putting it out.

Option B?
I would prefer not to expend tags just yet.
But am not sure if that's a realistic option.

Really kinda sweet.

QUESTION
-Can Ami do Hien/Flying Swallow on kunai? Shuriken? Wire?
-What's Suigetsu dressed in?
Any long sleeved clothes, or possible extra seals?

 

[Guile]

>I'm not the one encouraging a sleazy lounge lizard even after what happened with the last one!
What was the first sleazy lounge lizard? Obviously Ami doesn't mean Jiraiya.

Incidentally, it seems Ami knows my favorite fire trick for a relatively tight-in space: ninja wire and Dragon Flame jutsu. And she knows Great Dragon Fire jutsu, holy cow. A fireball of that size pretty much covers the whole goddamn ring. Judging by the pic I have of it it's got to be 50 times the size of an adult person and burns bone to ash.

 

[Hymn of Ragnarok]

Huh.

Well, what do you think guys, is a Z-Slash worth drawing first blood and causing damage to Suigetsu?

 

[Guile]

Hurting him before he starts taking us seriously may be a good idea, but I'm pretty ambivalent really.

 

[FurikoMaru]

QUESTION
-Can Ami do Hien/Flying Swallow on kunai? Shuriken? Wire?

Click to shrink...

If the wire and kunai stay in her hand, yes. She isn't quite good enough with it yet to make thrown weapons take on elemental characteristics without further application of jutsu yet. However, like she's been doing for years, she can reinforce a kunai or shuriken before she throws it to make it sharper and faster.

-What's Suigetsu dressed in?

Click to shrink...

Sleeves don't leave his arms as free. He prefers not to wear them.

So it's unlikely he has enough water to throw Water Dragons around.
QUESTION
1)How resistant is Ami to heat/fire?
If she set the roof on fire could she stand there amid the flames?

2)And how long would the burning ceiling last?
Because the idea of a duel beneath a burning sky is awesome, some of Ino's tendency for drama might well have rubbed off on Ami.
And coincidentally, canon!Suigetsu is quite heat sensitive.

 

[Hymn of Ragnarok]

Man I wish we made napalm. I have so many insanely awesome ideas for fucking over Suigetsu if we had some. Wires coated in the stuff, wrapping Suigetsu up, igniting them as he flows around them so that now the napalm burns inside him. Have him cut through a bottle of the stuff, ignite his sword, and suddenly his sword is turning into slag and he's weaponless. And straight up dousing him in the stuff.

Instead all we have is Ami's hairspray and perfume.

Maybe it'd be worth a Z-Slash if we added more? We hurt him and dispel the Mist, and immediately start raining down fire to turn the entire room into a sauna and dehydrate Suigetsu, with all that smoke and vapor leaving out the window?

Click to shrink...

She's pretty convection-resistant; you don't become a proper Katon specialist if you can't take the heat. But she burns just like everyone else. She's just fast enough on her feet to avoid the actual flames, usually.

If she uses Great Dragonfire, it could easily last the whole match if Suigetsu doesn't decide to try to put it out. If he puts it out, though, he's down a significant amount of chakra, since B-rank techniques don't get cancelled out with a garden hose.

Huh. That could be worth it, but it sounds like we'd be burning more chakra doing it, so it's a question of whether or not it's worth making Suigetsu burn his (and evaporate fluid).

A duel beneath a burning sky is pretty neat though. If we can keep Suigetsu off balance enough he can never get the chance to douse the ceiling it may even be more than worth it. If a Z-Slash could damage Suigetsu and in doing so distract him enough for us to set the sky ceiling on fire and then pound him in melee so he can't douse the ceiling, that would be a battlefield very much in our favor and against his.

I'd say it's worth it.
Canon!Suigetsu has endurance issues(Karin called him out on it), and was constantly toting a straw bottle to maintain hydration.
And this Suigetsu is younger than canon, and lacking Orochimaru's upgrades, which balances out his training by Zabuza.

Do note that I'm unsure how much damage someone who can go liquid will take; in canon he never seemed to take bodily damage,

I thought setting the ceiling on fire was already a part of that plan? the Z-slash just means that it hurts him too.

and yeah, he's never wounded in the manga (that I remember) but he does end up exhausted at several points.

if his chakra is low enough, then it stands to reason that we won't be able to reform/control his liquid body.

anyway, that this has my vote, if someone spends a Zslash on it.

No, the long Plan B option is what we do that dispels the mist, the set the roof on fire plan gets us screwed. We need to get out of the mist and dispel it first, then consider torching the roof. Might keep the mist from reforming, maybe, and dehydrate Suigetsu faster.

Uh, burn the roof down is kind of the given Plan A that would get us ganked in the mist. Miiiiight wanna clarify more.

so what the hell is your plan? combine the two?


setting the roof on fire would clear out the mist just as well as blowing open a window, then making a makeshift bomb, then blowing the mist up directly.

its a hell of a lot faster too, which could be the deciding factor.

Faster to put in motion, slower to actually clear the mist. They're trying to think of an option that gets Ami the hell out of the range of a Hydrafication user who can blend into the mist he sends out.

Click to shrink...

No, the fire from above won't disperse the mist. Not immediately. And while inside the mist, Suigetsu can fade into the mist

So, first priority is not dispelling the mist but getting the fuck OUT of it. Which makes Plan B far and away the superior first course action. After that's executed, then Plan A becomes desirable.

So yeah, it'd be combining the two, but executing first the one that saves our ass now and detonates at ground zero.

Annnnd Furiko snipes.

As for blending, I'd really like someone else to pay a Z-Slash for ensuring damage and securing battlefield advantage since I paid for the last stylish bit, but if someone has to cough one up in order for everything to work and no one else with one will straight up bolunteer, then fine.

And speaking of blending, if tying Suigetsu up in ninja wire (preferably coated in something flammable) tied to kunai slows him down just a little and is quickly executed in addition to everything else, throw that on.
