Saw the first bit of a earlier post about you working on a post. Crayons Any reply from Elena on the jutsu?

Nope. ElenaIsCool please come in.

 

[ElenaIsCool]

And I'm here to clear that up!


Poison Mist is a water release ninjutsu that the user blows out of their mouth (Think like how Fireball Jutsu is blown) It surrounds the target/s in a dense mist. The vapor/mist is made of mild poison that can sting the eyes of the target and disturb their breathing. A combo of a mist and stingy eyes is guaranteed to make you invisible from the target.

Bullet Rain is another blow-jutsu in which the user shoots water in the form of small, fast bullets. You can also use surrounding water to make bullets.

Oh cool, thank you! so presumably the first day is going to be all about how to create the water within your body and expel it from your mouth. Because we're going right from basics here. XDDD This should be fun/torturous for Suiren.

Emphasis on the fun part though :3

Thoughts on cause of death being more then what they seem? Like say for instance a character who’s known to be dead and was killed in action years ago on what’s presumed or known as a mission that was simply labeled confidential/High rank or left with nothing truly known about it, but overlooked cause everything seems normal, like just another case of a shinobi killed in action. Cause no real suspicious or unusual activity surrounding the death is evident on the surface.

What if that death was referenced by a certain character in private matters and used as another example for why things are the way they are for a certain group and how they conduct themselves and do things.

I ramble aloud in thought to potentially converse on such ideas and get other view points. I’ve known about a characters death and it’s known in general but it’s vague, left vague cause I never finished and fully decided on that part. While also other matters needed seeing to as well.

Now I wanna complete that detail and chapter but find myself at a loss on how exactly I want to do it. The death was years prior to the current timeline and seemingly is known simply as killed in action. No real details beyond that making it seem like any other tragedy that happens in such lines of work. However each loss and life tells a story and could hold deeper meanings to those close to said people/characters... it doesn’t necessarily mean it will for others beyond that or even play a major role in the overall plot or story like Minato and Kushina did in Naruto.

But it will and does play a role for certain characters and their motivations, etc. however I’m experiencing a form of writers block, so thought I’d see what might trigger a way to overcome this little problem.

Minato sacrifices himself to save Konoha and with Kushina used their own bodies to shield their son from the nine tailed fox. It’s a major part of Naruto and the role it played in his life while leaving a lasting legacy for all to remember and know. However the majority of shinobi deaths occur or nearly as many, die in more common and less famous deaths as a result of missions.

Right?

But there is still a story for each person that died in whatever mission or manner in which they died. Yosuke and Ayame died years prior to the storyline and don’t play a major role to anyone (likely) outside of their clan. Ayame died during childbirth but other factors are thought to have played a role. Yosuke died in what could be considered a typical mission with no real known details except to perhaps a few and even then not all is really known. Both characters were minor compared to others, likely wouldn’t be the biggest losses or mean as much except to those close to them. Still tragic but not major roles in how the overall story goes unlike Minato and Kushina. However they do play a big role in the lives of those close to them who yet live on.

Yosuke was very similar to his son except he didn’t lack in the same areas, actually opposite. But Yosuke’s father never agreed with his sons view of what a true shinobi was or how they should conduct themselves, since his death and how he died or thought to have died or a mixture of both, he users or as a example of why their clan and he especially sees the word and how true shinobi should act. Now whether or not there is a deeper level of things going or not is for another time and how it could be revealed over time and through developments.

Point being; Yosuke left a impact and it’s through his son that his legacy and views live on even if the son doesn’t truly know it. But the grandfather sees it clearly and doesn’t seem too pleased. Ayame also left a impact and her own traits live on through her son in the same manner. Neither death is uncommon exactly but both had impacts. Yosuke’s though could be delved into a little to bring certain ties and details to light which could be massive for some character development and making things a little interesting, kinda like a cold case.

But writers block has left me.... in the dark on how to continue that chapter of a characters life.

If that clears up the original post.

Oh yeah that makes loads more sense now you've said who the people are and such.

Death in childbirth? Sounds like someone poisoned her to me. Maybe they tried to induce a miscarriage but she was far enough along to have the baby anyway but then died. Admittedly I have poison on the brain slightly heh heh.

Also I made a post! omg!

Basically; perception of a character and the events surrounding their death could be easily altered or made to have greater impact or both with new information and the investigation into such a case. Yosuke’s death is marked as a common but still tragic death in the line of duty. The details are not too well known or evident really leaving much to the unknown and assumed. Leaving open certain views on the matter and character which could be and have been used to push ones own agenda or opinion on the matter. Truth and further looking into could alter the perception of what’s reality and what’s not while changing those tied to the characters in even more impactful ways.

I intended to use Yosuke and Ayame’s deaths to develop stronger ties to their son while adding deeper and more present day meaning behind another characters actions and beliefs.

Just saw this as I posted. But poison is one idea though brings further intrigue which could help build a great storyline:plot. But idk how major I want to make the details yet, also kinda makes things more enemy of the clan driven or personal in other ways, a nice path. But begs another question or two.

I understand haha

And ok cool!

Maybe you don't need to decide yet. Sometimes it's good to wait until inspiration strikes.

Oh nothings getting decided yet. I’m just bored and looking to take my mind off Rl drama while awaiting posting opportunities in IC. Also figured conversing ideas in a group usually generates more ideas and inspirations then when alone with my own thoughts and music or other methods are not working for whatever reason.

Yeah that..Was exactly what I was going for with Toshiro's death. I made it pretty simple in the CS that Toshiro was KIA'd but if you've been noticing, I didn't mention anything about Hikari being there to witness it, along with how deeply it affected her. The whole ' story behind the death' part is also one of the things I'm struggling with in that area. That's why I asked about which shinobi would be more likely to have killed Toshiro. I already have a basic idea of what happened but I'm also having a mild case of writer's block there :v

What I'm thinking is:

Hikari and Toshiro make a promise to eachother the night before Toshiro dies. Then they head to send the message and the death happens. Toshi dies saving Hikari and tells her to fullfill his end of the promise and gives her the shell necklace she always wears now.

The part that's bothering me is..What IS the promise!? I haven't figured out that part yet :/
Also Crayons I love your post!

I recall us talking about that a little in here, I think before Rl took me away from activity. But back to your point, yeah, I think I recall that detail about Hikari not being there to witness the death of Toshiro. Seems like it anyhow.

Just from a outside point of view and reading what you have it definitely sounds like it has more to do with that shell necklace then I’d of originally thought. Going by the Ic posts I thought maybe it was more sentimental then having a even deeper meaning, perhaps.

A thought or two that crosses my mind; Could the necklace have something inside the shell that plays into the promise? Like for example; Maybe it’s a key to something important to someone mutually close to them? Maybe such as the key to putting something in their past to rest by completing the task/mystery/case? And thus upholding the promise they made to each other that could tie to someone else they lost previously? (Which reminds me of the show, castle, now, but that’s unimportant haha)

Using Crayons idea of poison has given me a thought. It could tie Yosuke’s death to hers on a even greater level then already mentioned of a young grieving and newly widowed mother about to give birth to their child and the affect it could of had on her during the birth. Only thing is that might contradict the grandfather a bit without delving deeper. Could be done but just not sure of how yet if using that path. I also don’t want to use the village too much as that might draw beyond the clan and the specific targets. As then it could paint the Toshiaki clan into great importance to the village like my examples in prior posts. (Perhaps) And don’t want to make them in the same light if it did (if that makes sense) more of a low key and less well known reasons involved to show even less famous shinobi still play roles and leave behind legacies and impact lives.

Awesome post Crayons! Read it a bit ago.

Actually that sounds good! I thought it would be more on a sentimental level but the key mystery part sounds pretty cool!

And thus the plot unravels.

Nice! An unraveling plot for the win.

 

[ElenaIsCool]

Another thing that got me to think..What do you think the message they were supposed to deliver is? I though maybe it'd be a military strategy or something like that but it can be something else like..Jutsu? Some other things?

 

[The Silent Z]

Another thing that got me to think..What do you think the message they were supposed to deliver is? I though maybe it'd be a military strategy or something like that but it can be something else like..Jutsu? Some other things?

Let’s see... delving back into third war info and memory of what all was discussed here. If jutsu related I’d imagine it would have to be safeguarded techniques that could be valuable enough to send along during a war or something new that could be a game changer for the war efforts or atleast Taki’s side of it. Which would still be safeguarded but limited to the situation rather then something else on top of the war. Also the latter leans toward military strategy at the same time so could combine the two ideas.

Another idea is the message could be related specific targets to hit next and other key strategic details. Either could tie to the ninja responsible for Toshiro’s death but the latter could involve one of the targets who’s also one of the people responsible, maybe even the lead guy in the attack?

 

[ElenaIsCool]

I like the way you think! The hit list idea sounds good but how would one of the people responsible know..

OH! Big brain time right here-

What if the person that leaked the information about the hit list was the same guy who is our target during the IC mission? Maybe it could've been from before he became a missing nin. Hikari probably won't recognize him but her sensei definately would

Oh, thank you! Glad that helps. Actually that could play really well into it all and really could make things personal for Hikari at the same time while giving her something related to Toshiro. Even if it’s not all she may be after but it could be a another step forward.

Not to take away from this; but got me thinking a little more. Keeping with the theme of how I’ve been running things by involving smaller villages and expanding the history with our own canon.

What if Yosuke’s mission involved Hoshigakure? (That small star village with the meteor chakra or peacock style? I don’t recall the actual name. But it had a small filler arc with a unofficial kage title for their village leader. What if he was meant to prevent the capture or death of someone kidnapped and it led to his death? Maybe, somehow, his emotions got the better of him or were thought to/assumed to have by his father and Yori’s grandfather. Which plays into the surrounding idea and keeps to the characters and etc. things got complicated then during the course of Yosuke’s mission and actions it led to retaliation specifically targeting Yosuke’s own family which leads to Ayame’s poisoning with added intentions of killing their son along with her which then adds to the grandfathers views and strengthened case against Yosuke and like minded shinobi of allowing weaknesses to show, views they have of the world and what a true shinobi is and etc?

Viewing Yosuke’s actions as they may or may not be known as not only wrong but responsible for the deaths of the very ones he claimed to love and cherish? Viewing those actions as a result of ones weakness being allow to show and be used against them? Resulting in further trouble. Also if kept safeguarded from the village elders and those outside of the clan, it could perfectly maintain the limited knowledge and lack of public details concerning it all. Keeping within the family and why so little is known or understood as far as Yori goes and why he knows so little about his parents or what they were truly like? What traits of theirs he shares?

More is in mind to say but could just be rambling on and not too clear as my mind grows flooded on this unraveling idea.

 

[ElenaIsCool]

Hmm sounds pretty good! It can end up being a nice way to show off Hikari's..Less friendly side ;3

Also I think that sounds good in Yori's part. How do you think he'll end up knowing about it? Do his grandparents feel guilty about keeping it from him?

Sounds good! ^^ A interesting sight to behold when it unfolds.

..... I don’t know yet....Either Yori will have to develop a bit in certain areas and begin having actual desires and wants of his own leading to a desire to learn more. Or tie into a mission where a figure from the past sees Yosuke and Ayame in Yori leading to some kind of revelation which unfolds before Yori’s eyes and leaves him in quite the state and flooded mind trying to process everything at once and etc. or a combination of events. Idk... yet... I still have questions on the connection to hoshigakure like why there if it doesn’t involve them or someone there directly, or does it involve someone from hoshi then why? Also who was the kidnapped or subject of attempted rescue? What made it complicated and brought Yosuke’s decisions fueled by emotions and heart rather then blindly following mission objectives and who hired the village for his help? What twists could have turned him from that original path? How did that lead and what lead to such a personal retaliation? Did the target survive and escape to their home safely?

Many details that I’ve not an answer to yet. Which now adds; how does Yori find out?

Thoughts?

The grandmother might feel guilty but at the same time feel like she must shield him from the truth. (Again, Castle vibes here..) And/or find it difficult to tell him with her husband around so often and because of the topic in general. His grandfather though.... I can’t see him feeing guilt, or least not enough to overcome his dead set beliefs or views on the matter. He’s very stubborn and set in his ways also he might be affected by the information that’s known as even he doesn’t have the full story. Only small bits and pieces leading to his clouded view of what his son did or may have done.

 

[ElenaIsCool]

Is it just me or do I want Sajin and Yori's grandfathers to meet. It would be interesting to see how it unfolds between those two XD

[The Silent Z]

Double posting on myself; but thinking over some possible ideas for those earlier ‘idks’ about the Yosuke/Ayame/Yori line.

The chakra specific to Hoshigakure and that gap of land you had to cross through (I think the entrance was like that?) was toxic to those outside of the village right? And even to them after prolonged exposure? Maybe that ties into the location choice. Perhaps the villains of this case were from or knew about the villages specific chakra using that to their advantage at first from would be pursuers?

Maybe the victim of this case could have been a child of some rich and noble lord? Maybe Taki was hired by the adviser in a elaborate scheme to take control over of that lords lands, riches and titles there for covering up any connections that could be made back to him. While assuming the child would not return there for playing into his master plan. Now the lord himself may not be a well known or greatly powered/influential noble but possessed what this adviser wanted. (Simple greed and power motives here) and was more easily obtainable then other options for them. Yosuke catches on and sees through the facade, connects the dots and saves the child but dies in the process from a combination of injuries and exposure to that chakra of or around Hoshigakure? All the while it leads to retaliation for foiled plans and muddied waters on what really happened in full? Perhaps a last ditch effort was made to protect his loved ones and village before ultimately succumbing to his fate? However that’s not too clear due to muddied waters by those responsible.

That child goes onto adulthood, ends up hiring Takigakure herself for a seemingly simple protection job while traveling to and from lands, leading to the encounter of meeting squad 2 which leads to also meeting Yori? Now perhaps she saw a picture of Ayame years prior during Yosuke’s rescue and that’s how she knows how much of each he looks like and added cause for her to recognize Yori and see them both in him?

She speaks on that a bit leading to some clear confusion on Yori’s part, the eternal thanks she shows for his late father sparks his interest and further adds to his process of what she’s talking about then so on and so forth, Yori learns the truth and is completely overwhelmed by it at first?

In short a character development mission down the road is the idea I had and solution that seems best so far. Also the title for it that seems oh so Naruto esque... “Yori learns the truth; mission protect the heiress” not sure if it should delve further by coincidently or maybe not so coincidentally (?) encountering the person responsible like perhaps the adviser yet lives and is free with a new gang of rogues or not. But that’s my thought process at this time.
