He's sick. He'll update when he feels better. If you want, he did create a databook though.

“…So how exactly is this coup is supposed to work?” You ask curiously as you leap from tree-to-tree with your new partner, your minions following closely behind.
“I have planted many spies inside Amegakure. Once we reach the gates of Amegakure, I will signal them to dispel the barrier that envelops the village. From there, we will sneak into the village, and my men will help us locate and eliminate Hanzo.” Pain says simply without even looking back at you.
“You make it sound so easy.” You say with a small smile.
Pain remains silent for a moment before responding.
“Do not underestimate our target Daikon. Hanzo is far from helpless; he may perhaps even be stronger than both of us combined.”
“Even stronger than God himself?” You ask with a hint of sarcasm.
“…..Perhaps.” Pain says bluntly. __ After a few hours of travelling, you and your partner decide to set up camp for the night. After commanding your minions to begin setting up your tent and fire, you notice that Pain is sitting idly on top a stump far away from your tent. Does he not feel the cold?
“You don’t have to camp like a pauper you know.” You say as you walk up to him. “I can make you a tent out of my Doton’s if you want.”
“Unnecessary.” He says coolly. “Now leave, your presence is a distraction for my thinking.”
With a shrug, you begin to walk away. Suddenly, you hear a poof and the sound of someone slamming his hands on the ground.
“DO NOT SPEAK TO THE MASTER IN THAT TONE!” You hear one of your minions say.
You look behind you and see that the Druid is shoving his face directly inside Pain’s, roots beginning to seep out of his sleeves and tangle around his hands. Pain only looks at the minion annoyingly.
“...You are nothing, but a soul-less puppet. You are not worthy of even being in my presence, let alone addressing me in that tone.” Pain says harshly.
“I don’t need a soul to understand that you are nothing, but a false prophet!” The druid retorts angrily. “A shinobi not worthy to even grovel at my masters fee-“
“SHINRA TENSEI!” Pain yells as he places his palm on the druids head.
Suddenly, a huge force pushes out from his palm and begins flattening the area in front of it. Even clearly outside his direction and range, you can feel the intense power of his technique. The Druid is instantly uprooted from his position, crashing into the thick trees that encompass the camp.
“W..What the hell was that?!” You yell in surprise.
“It is the power of God. Perhaps your puppet will remember it next time he dares to challenge my claim.” Pain says simply before standing up and walking away from you.
You say nothing before dashing towards the Druid. __ “B-Bastard…..he…caught me off guard.” Your minion says in pain. He is laying on his stomach, purple blood streaming out of his mouth. From the position of his legs and arms…they are clearly broken.
“ Are you okay?!” You ask worriedly before kneeling next to him and examining his wounds. You begin to pull out your trauma-kit, but the Druid motions for you to stop.
“I’m fine. My regeneration should be kicking in any minute now.” He says with a small smile.
You suddenly begin to see it. His arms and legs magically lock into place, and a few minutes later he seems good as new. He calmly gets back up and wipes the dirt and debris off his clothes.
“I’m sorry master. If I knew he would’ve attacked like that, I would’ve just killed him out-right. ” The Druid apologizes with a bow.
“You don’t have to jump-in and attack anyone who talks to me rudely. Show some restraint….I’ll tell you when to kill someone.” You say with a sympathetic smile.
“I understand master.” He says.
You both begin to walk slowly back to your campsite.
“Hey Druid…”
“Call me Cern.” He interjects.
“Cern…answer me this. Even after witnessing his power, do you REALLY think you could you have killed him if he didn’t cheap-shot you?” You say curiously.
Cern makes a gruff noise in his throat before answering…..is he laughing?
“But of course master.” He says as he shows his pointed teeth. _
The next day, you continue your trek towards Amegakure. You are now at the “rural” part of the Land of Earth….and the damages from this war are clearly evident.
The grass and trees have all been damaged and scarred, as is a huge battle had taken place. The landscape is covered with many, ugly craters. Not only that, you notice that the once innumerable farms are now completely destroyed….could this have been Kairi’s doing?
“Master….do you sense that?” Cern says cautiously.
“Sense what?” You say ignorantly.
“The spirits of the land are crying out in pain…a battle is taking place right now.” Cern says simply.
“Master! Over there!” The Lich says before pointing towards the horizon.
You look towards the direction and see a large, black smoke rising into the air. You pull out your map to try and see where the fire is coming from…
“It’s a village!” You yell in shock.
“The village is being attacked master. The spirits are saying that the perpetrators are a girl and pale man.” Cern says hesitantly. “It seems there is also one incredibly strong Shinobi attempting to hold them off.”
“Should we join them master?” The Lich asks obediently.
“No.” Pain answers for you. “We are on a strict schedule and must arrive at Amegakure on-time; the plight of the plebeians will have to wait.” Pain says harshly.
“B-but…”
“If you want to help them, you will do so alone.” Pain says simply. “I will not suffer another unnecessary delay.”
You silently think for a moment. With your Wind Walk ability, you know you’d have no problem catching up to Pain. In fact, you probably would have been in Amegakure already if you didn’t have to match HIS pace. Still…if what Cern says is true, you have a GOOD idea of who the attackers might be. Sure the “incredibly strong shinobi might help,” but are you still ready and able to fight?
“We will follow you wherever you go master.” Your minions say obediently, knocking you out of your thinking.
“Fools.” Pain hisses.
A) Go help the village (+Good -Evil) B) Ignore it. Keep going forward. (+Chaotic)

In addition, Daikon already has an idea of Pain's abilities... as well as our minions. I hope we have an option to somehow track Nagato.

A. Only because I want to see who this "incredibly strong shinobi" fighting them is. I also want to destroy Kairi and Orochimaru. Ensign what's the limit on Arrancar form? Once a day? Once a battle? I know it's 2 turns but how often can we use it?

After a few moments of thinking, you realize that you can’t just ignore your people’s suffering….especially if you’re right here and able to stop it. You abruptly stop moving and face towards the smoke. Your minions and Pain stops as well.
“Cern, Lich….were helping them.” You say solemnly
Both your minions nod before bracing themselves for the change of direction. Pain only looks at you, disappointment clear in his face.
“Do what you must, but I still expect you to reach Amegakure in the scheduled time. I won’t let your stupidity jeopardize my new World-Order!” Pain yells angrily before blasting off without you.
Ignoring Pain, you quickly speed off towards the direction of the village. __
Within a few minutes, the wooden walls of the village soon become visible….or at least what is left of it. You notice a huge section of wall is completely bent and destroyed; the gap is almost 20 feet in diameter. You also notice that the guard posts stationed on the walls are completely deserted. The most shocking thing, however, is the innumerable corpses littered just outside the gates. One particular corpse, belonging to a little girl, affects you the most. You quickly land next to the trail of bodies.
“…They were trying to flee.” You say sadly, gently closing the eyes of the dead little girl.
“I see no signs of traumas nor punctures on their bodies….how did they die?” Cern asks cautiously.
“Poison from the looks of it.” The Lich says bluntly. You both turn your gazes towards him. “Or some sorts of smog….I think they died from asphyxiation.” The Lich says carefully.
“But how coul-“
You suddenly hear a powerful wind rushing from inside the village. The wind is followed by the sound of countless houses being destroyed and flattened from its incredible power. The walls on the other side of you instantly crumble from the ferocity of the wind…..it actually looks stronger than Pain’s technique.
“This wind is unnatural. We are most likely dealing with a powerful Futon-User.” Cern says blankly.
“We must approach cautiously.” You say carefully. “I’ll Wind Walk in and try to see what is going on. You two follow closely behind and bail me out if I get discovered.” You command quietly. Both your minions nod before you begin the seals and disappear in a gust of wind. __ You reappear on the roof of one the few houses that aren’t burning or destroyed. You hear the distinct sound of wind and metal clashing near the center of town. You quickly Shunshin towards the center of town, making sure to reappear in places with heavy cover. After a few minutes, you finally reach the center of town and conceal yourself behind the debris of a destroyed house.
Immediately, you see the three figures responsible for the violent sounds. They are each standing motionless about 20 feet in front of you. Unsurprisingly, Cern’s information was absolutely correct; a girl and a man seems to be the ones responsible for this mess…but their identities are not whom you were expecting.
The “pale man” is a lanky man in his early-mid twenties. He has short grey hair and is wearing a black/white kimono. His eyes are incredibly slanty and seem almost closed. You see a wide smile that stretches almost across his face; he is brandishing a wakizashi over his shoulder. You notice he is wearing a blank forehead protector
The “girl” is simply a child who looks about your age. She has short black hair and very green eyes. She has a relatively “petite” build and has an almost worrisome look on her face. In her hands is a very long scroll that has katas that you can’t discern.
The man fighting both of them is staring at them angrily. He has long brown hair and is literally ripped with muscles. He is wearing a tight black jump-suit with a long, dirty brown/red cloak flowing down from his shoulders and almost touching the ground. His mouth is perpetuated in a furious snare, and his face shows a deep scar running from his temple all the way down to his chin. The most shocking feature, however, is that his right arm looks a lot bigger than his left one….it almost looks fake. On his left arm is a metal-looking band that looks about 5 inches long, a small wrist-attached gun is right on top of it. Suddenly, his face strikes an old chord in your brain; it’s Dosu.
“Why must you do this the hard way hmm? Can’t you just give up and accept your fate?” The Lanky man asks in a pseudo-nice tone.
“After what you did?! You killed the whole damn village to get to me!” Dosu yells angrily.
The lanky man laughs before answering.
“It was the only way to draw you out my boy. I figured someone like you wouldn’t be able to watch and hide when a village becomes….butchered.” The Lanky man says as he maintains his smile.
“Bastard! Why are you doing this?!” Dosu cries in disbelief.
“Such a stupid question…..the answer is obvious isn’t it? You’re head is worth approximately….”
“10-million Ryo.” The girl conveniently finishes.
“My goodness…you are quite valuable aren’t you?” The Lanky man says as he somehow widens his smile.
“You killed…all these people….for money?!” Dosu yells in fury.
“Bingo.” The Lanky man laughs.
“I’LL KILL YOU!” Dosu yells before charging towards the two figures, his disfigured arm pointing towards them.
“….Unlikely. Shoot to Kill.” The Lanky man says before pointing the tip of his wakizashi towards Dosu.
Almost immediately, his sword extends towards Dosu at an alarming rate, much faster than you can see.
Dosu’s eyes widen in shock before he is forced to jump into the air in order to dodge.
“Nemu, now.” The lanky man says calmly as his sword begins to revert back to its original form.
Nemu nods before brushing her hand across the scroll. Three small cat-like blimp objects instantly appear in front of her. A thick, grey fog begins to shoot out from their mouths towards Dosu.
“That must have been what was used to kill the villagers!” You think to yourself.
Dosu curses under his breath before pointing his disfigured arm towards the two enemies and the fog.
“Decapacitating Air Waves!” He shouts as a huge stream of air releases from a small hole in the middle of his palm. The smoke is instantly pushed back towards the two figures, completely shadowing them inside of it. To your surprise, a huge stream of air is still being channeled from the hole. Dosu then places his left arm slightly in front of his right, pointing his wrist-gun in the same direction as his palm.
“Flamethrower!” Dosu yells before releasing a thick, powerful stream of fire from his wrist gun. The wind from his previous technique is supplementing the flames beautifully, the sheer magnitude of the flame is incredible. No one should be able to survive this combo.
Still though….this seems a bit TOO easy. Should you enter the battle now?
A) Yes! Use _______ in the middle of the fog. B) No! Wait a little longer C) Yes! Try to regroup next to Dosu D) Yes! Attack Dosu E) Other

While having our minions stay back and watch over us for any sneak attacks.
Dosu seems more like a anti hero now, I wonder what's happened.

Post by vegeta on Feb 8, 2011 6:37:00 GMT
I bet Dosu either ran away or got kicked out by Orochimaru when he was no longer any useful to him. Kairi took Dosu's place.
We shouldn't have to worry about any attacks except for the man's sword (if he cuts our left wrist off, we're in serious trouble). Other than that, we're immortal, so this gas won't do anything to us.
I feel like B is more intelligent. Therefore,
EDIT: B vote.
