endgames | 027 -- [Voice || Written || Action] Backdated to the 6th

[It's been two days now, since the mission at that hospital. It feels awkward coming to the journal like this... he didn't even know Precis all that well, outside of two missions. But reviewing journal conversations, it didn't seem as if she knew anyone well on the last one either. A village-wide announcement seems callous.

In the end, he winds up crafting a wide filter, based off of her journal responses and the two mission experiences he's aware of. Tl;dr: if you've ever had a public thread with Precis, or went on a mission with her, you're good to be included in the filter.]

[Filtered to Associates of Precis F. Neumann || Unhackable]

On the fourth of September, Precis Neumann died participating in a mission outside the enclosure. No doubt she saved countless lives, but...

[...]

If you knew her, I offer my condolences for your loss.

[For the rest of the day, Shikamaru will be in the forest surrounding CH1. Looking back over the journals revealed something else too. You'd think with the way he memorizes things it'd have hit him sooner, but he was never so good with dates.]

Two years... Tch. How troublesome.

[He'll be out here, training primarily with his shadow, but watching clouds too. Not for too long. Within the hour, he's cracking out another filter on the journal.]

[Filtered to Uzumaki Naruto || Unhackable]

Let's take care of that thing we discussed.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Easy enough! [With that, Naruto shuts his book.

Within the next minute, Naruto is climbing out of the back window in his apartment and flinging himself right on out into the area behind the building. Sup, Shikamaru.]

[Brofist. So how we doing this?]

[Like a boss, that's how.]

Right! Since I don't have the scroll that taught me how to do it anymore, I'm gonna have to teach ya the same way I taught Konohamaru! We'll go in the same order!

All right. [That sounds reasonable enough. He's seen the kid pop out shadow clones like there's no tomorrow too, so it has to have results.] What do I need to do?

We teach ya the Sexy Jutsu!

[wow listen to them crickets go]

The hell?!

Wh-What? Somethin' wrong with that?

Oi, oi, don't look sad and pathetic about something like that. [He bites the inside of his cheek.] Use your head. Why would I need to learn that sort of thing?

Why? 'Cause... y'know, it's simple! [Sort of. It's simple a Naruto-kind of way.] Konohamaru and I both learned it before shadow clones!

Edited 2012-09-27 10:09 (UTC)

That's your guys' thing. If I wanted to do things just because they were easy, I'd have been doing my own laundry before Luceti.

But that's how I taught him. Gotta take small steps and crap.

Unlike Konohamaru at age eight, I know how to make a henge.

But it's all about the results! Both of us learned how to do that, and now look at us! Makin' shadow clones like it's nobody's business!

There has to be other ways to get from Point A to Point B. I sure as hell haven't seen Kakashi-sensei use that jutsu, and he spits out shadow clones just fine.

... You do know what kinda books he reads, right? [LOGIC. THIS IS ALL LOGIC.]

....that's not the point.

[EVEN IF THAT WAS A GOOD ONE.]

I'm just sayin', that's how I started teachin' Konohamaru and it worked out fine. What if I end up messin' up here?

You gotta learn sometime. [Pointing.] You want other students someday, don't you? The same method won't work for everyone.

[Didn't work for you did it? The way he remembers things, Naruto was always learning things outside the standard way most were taught.]

Y'sure? I figured it was pretty important to learnin' the jutsu.

[Seriously. Look at how perversion helps lead up to mastering the Rasengan. Excluding his dad.]

Everyone else seems capable of learning it without.

You positive you don't wanna learn it?

[He just puts his hands together: an approximate of begging without the words. Pleeeeeease no.]

[MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN.]

Alright, I'll give it a shot without you learnin' it. [Arms crossed, he's obviously upset about this development.] It's just gonna take ten times more dedication!

You're a pal.

[...besides the 10x part, orz.]

This might be the one time I'm for that.
