Go on, Naruto lovers, suggest some Jutsu

Being a little bored lately, I thought about writing a Naruto story. It won’t be precisely about any existing characters, but sort of fills in some holes that were left by the anime, and describes a little bit about how the ninja live. But mroe to the point, I wanted to write a story about an alchoholic who leads a team of second-rate ninja. :smiley:

After all, somebody had to take on the job after Kakashi actually passed a class/team of ninja.

The only thing is that most of the “obvious” jutsu have already been done, and I wanted a couple of newer ones, mostly to show the semi-shortcomings of the characters. Sure, they’re good enough to get out of school, but these guys are not going to quickly pass the Chunin exam, then go onto really being Jonin and even more powerful ninja within a year.

I figured the leader would actually be amazingly strong, from having made his living as a woodcutter and liquor brewer. He has a crippled left knee* which hinders him a lot, and has to make up for it elsewise. However, he’s a drunk, which does not help.

Jutsu I was thinking of include…
The Sake-soaked Blast, a Fire Jutsu which needs liquor to function :smiley: again

The **Mighty Mighty Mighty **(i.e., the Very Strongly Strong), which is what he uses to amplify his strength, but he can’t move from the ground while using it.

The Lion’s Roar, which I am shamelessly ripping off from Kung-Fu Hustle

I’m just still putting together the rest of the “cast.” I’m not entirely sure whether I should up the angst factor by including the estanged family (or whose fault that should be) or how much.
*The Title is Kakashi’s First. No, not his first girl, you filthy-minded fanfic readers! And not his first boy either, you even filthier-minded fanfic readers! :wink:

No, I mean his first team, before (and the reason why) he got the dubious honor of taking on the scut-ninja. This is the story of his first students. One was crippled, the other two exiled. (Guess why they were exiled?)

Since I’ve been re-reading Bleach lately (with Nel and Pessche in mind), I was thinking some kind of vomit-inspired bloodline limit would be in order (couldn’t be more gross than the bone one). Also, since Jiraiya has an oil-based jutsu, your sake based one wouldn’t be out of the question.

Of course, you have to fill out the team with the archetypal students:

  • Tortured genius
  • Marginally useless kunoichi
  • Energetic moron

Oh smiling bandit, you have such similar tastes in entertainment to my own, but then you have to go and reveal yourself as a fanfic author. I think I have to shun you now…

Kidding aside, having one of your characters be a fire specialist could be amusing, since no matter how good he is, fire never ever, under any circumstances actually hurts anyone. The irony could be that your fire guy could be by far the most “accomplished” ninja, but thoroughly useless in practice.

Hmmm… maybe the fire kid is actually quite good, but constantly holds back because he just isn’t the kind of person to hurt someone badly? I like it.

Actually, I’ve never written a fanfic, though I written a bit on my own. One day I might go forward and look to publish. I’ve an interest in mystery and fantasy, and have been working on a fantasy-comedy a bit.
