"Let's get straight to the tower as fast as possible. If the exam's only completed in five days that's four days we'll get to rest before the next exam starts," you say as Jamie and Axel gather their things
"Sounds like a plan. If I remember correctly we need to head northwest from here and we should be there," Axel said running up the nearest tree into a large branch above
"We still need to be on the look out teams may have set traps closer to the tower to catch teams who already have a complete set of scrolls," Jamie says going after Axel
Your team moves at a faster pace than usual in an attempt to get to the tower as fast as possible. Twice you have to do a new trail due to several large animals you didn't want to waste chakra on and because you saw a group of ninjas, one looking like the girl you had sat next to during the first exams. After about three hours of constant running you come to a small clearing with a giant tower in front of you. A sigh of relief passes the group as you quickly enter the tower. You're greeted by a Leaf chunin in a rather empty room. "Congrats you're the third team to pass the second exam. The other ninja have settled in rooms on the upper levels, you guys can rest in room three. You still have three days, thirteen hours, and forty-nine minutes until you have to report for the third exam to commence so make yourselves at home," the chunin said handing you a small key as you handed him the two scrolls allowing you to actually pass
"So two more teams have passed wow that's a surprisingly little amount," Jamie said still panting from the long run
"The maximum number to normally pass this exam is around four or five," the chunin says putting your scrolls away
"That's not much at all," Axel says as he leads the way up the stairs to where your room would be
"Yeah it's good to see that another set of Sand ninja passed, your village must be very interesting indeed," the chunin says as you continue up the stairs
"So Gaara and his group passed. I wonder if we'll have to fight him," you think aloud
"Who knows? We don't even know what the third exam is yet," Axel says opening the door to your room. As you're about to enter another door opens and three Konoha ninja exit looking pretty tired. There's a boy with sunglasses, another boy with a dog, and a girl with extremely white eyes, they look like a very interesting group
A: Converse with the Konoha ninja B: Look for Gaara's group and talk to them C: Wait for more teams to arrive to talk to them D: Relax until the start of the third exams

I'm thinking D. Our team is tired. We should rest up... But the other options are tempting as well.
EDIT:
Changing Vote to A

A
Diplomatic Relations between the sand and leaf are about to get rough when Orochimaru comes into play. We need that to go smoother. We can start by at least talking to each other right now. Also we have plenty of time to rest, even enough time to train a bit.

"Hey guys so when did you arrive here?" you say asking the Leaf ninja. Your team turned slowly rather surprised that you were talking to another team
"We got here last night," the one with the dog on his head said
"I'm Ray from the Sand village these are my teammates Axel and Jamie," you say extending a hand. The other team looks at it timidly. Something's not completely right here, they seemed really shook up and the girl was staring at your headband. "Is something the matter?"
"You Sand ninja are scum, brutally killing your opponents," the one with the dog says as his dog lets out a low growl
"What are you talking about?! The Sand and the Leaf have been allies for years," Jamie quickly retorts, "If anything you guys are the scum for stealing Suna's jobs our village is heading into a crisis because our daiymo is giving our jobs to your village." You'd never heard Jamie break out like that, in fact it was almost a little scary. She probably felt it the most with her dad gone and her mom hardly being able to support her and her sister
"Look it's not our fault we have better shinobi here but at least we don't have ruthless killers like that one red head!" the dog guy says again
"Kiba please..." the girl says tugging at his sleeve
"Quiet Hinata I wanna give them a piece of my mind. Maybe the reason we're getting more jobs is because we're actually competent and don't go around killing for the hell of it. We took a scroll by using our ninja skills but we surely didn't kill in cold blood like the other ninjas from your village!" Kiba says getting extremely angry now, "Just because you can kill doesn't mean you shouldn't! How did you guys kill the team you stole your scroll from, rip their limbs apart and feed them to the crows?!"
"I should just kick your ass right now dog boy," Axel says clenching his fist
"Bring it, I'll wipe down the competition before the next exam even starts," Kiba said pulling his arm back. This definitely went downhill you tried to talk to them just to be civil after all you were allied nations meaning you should all get along and not break out into a fight like this. You glance over to the girl, Hinata, seems to not want this to break out in a fight as she tugs on Kiba's jacket. The third guy, the one with the sunglasses, is just standing there he could jump out in fight at any second or just may be hanging back and not doing anything but he's surely not talking his teammate out of a battle. Jamie's standing next to Axel, you can see one of her fists is clenched but at the same time she's asserting her usual self-control
A: Pull Axel back into your room B: Step between Axel and Kiba C: Throw the first punch D: Talk this out E: Free Choice

So much for civility, Ice..... They're obviously scarred about what Gaara pulled on those other three poor souls. In addition, they're making an assumption that we're just like him. Let's prove them wrong.

"Look we're not here to start a fight," you say quickly wrapping your arm around Axel's waist and pulling him towards your room
"Cowards," Kiba says before spitting on the ground
"Look I was trying to be nice. You shouldn't assume things it'll get you in trouble some day," you say as Jamie follows behind you as you push Axel into your room. Jamie closes the door behind you and lets out a soft sigh
You push Axel onto the bed rather forcefully and pound your fist against the nearest wall, you lost your cool for the first time in a while. "Why the fuck would you go off like that huh?! Clearly their afraid of us because they witnessed Gaara slaughter those ninjas in the forest like we did in fact I even heard a dog bark back then so it was most definitely them. But picking a fight won't prove anything, there's a time to fight and a time to keep your cool and take it and use your words that was NOT a time to fight. Remember what Jagar told us on the way here this is several allied countries uniting we can't let stupid shit like that get in the way," you say pacing
Axel's staring at you in shock and Jamie's quietly sitting on her bed. "I know that the Sand is in economic crisis I understand that and we're losing to the Leaf but beating up a cell of Leaf genin between exams will do nothing it'll just waste our time and show them we're no better than Gaara! We're different from how he is and the way to prove that to them and to prove to the rest of the world that the Sand has something to offer is by going through these exams and doing it right and kicking serious ass when it's time to kick ass not when we have down time to train, relax, and prepare for whatever the hell comes next in this exam," you say finally ending your rent with a long exhale. The rest of your team remained quiet as you slowly regained your usual composure
"I know it was wrong Ray, I'm sorry I shouldn't have snapped like that. You're right I'll prove it to them during the Exams not during our off time," Jamie says staring at the ground
"Yeah man I'm really sorry as well. You got a good point I just went to far," Axel says bowing his head, "So guys I think we should do some training. I know we're all pretty tired but we've got quite some time to train then we can rest and be at one hundred percent by the time the next exams start. Huh what do you think Ray?" You'd never heard Axel talk in such an apologetic way nor the redeeming tone he tried to speak with at the end, his tone was usually kind of arrogant and sarcastic, not this
You were thinking properly again so you turned back to face your other teammates. "Yeah let's go find the training grounds in this place and work on something before some other teams get here then rest," you say stretching
"Sounds like a good idea," Jamie said the smile returning to her face, "What are you gonna work on Ray?
A: Develop a raiton ninjutsu B: Develop a new low level genjutsu C: Work on your fuinjutsu D: Work on another field; specify
If A 1: Supplementary 2: Offensive 3: Defensive
Pick Training and Rest Time Time til Third Exams: Three days, Twelve hours, Fifty-five minutes Need at least 30 hours of rest to get to 100%

We've never touched our raiton abilities. It's much too early for that, and I think we'll need our mother's help for that, since nintaijutsu is her specialty. Let's work on either gentaijutsu or fuinjutsu (sealing). Our genjutsu is already fairly powerful.
Train gentaijutsu for 2 days. Rest the remainder of the time.

"I'm gonna work on my genjutsu for the next two days and then rest until the next exams start," you say as you make your way to the training area. The Leaf genin from earlier were in a far corner doing some training of their own but you pay no real attention to them and focus on your own training. You want to create a new genjutsu technique but you have no real time to do it so it's gonna have to be basic and straight forward
After a few hours of experimentation you come up with several ideas for more complex jutsus and something that you think you can make work in the next few days. The genjutsu you develop one is a simple genjutsu which focuses on the chakra going to the arms and legs and disrupting the flow and nerve receptors, leading to temporary paralysis which gives you an opening. This can be done through sight or by touching the area making it idle for your improving gentaijutsu. Pretty good work for a few days plus you have the groundwork for a few more complex genjutsu that you put on the back burner for now
While you were diligently training three other teams finished the second exam including two Leaf ninja teams and a team from the Sound. When you regroup with your team and catch up turns out each of them has come up with a new technique of their own. All of you decided to spend the rest of your time relaxing in your room until the start of the exams, which got you back to one hundred percent and then some
***
You stand with your team lined up next to all the other teams with all of your jounins, another proctor, and the Hokage standing before you. A total of four teams from the Leaf, two from the Sand, and one from the Sound ended up passing for a grand total of twenty-one genin had advanced onto the next round. "Weird Kabuto's group didn't pass," you hear a blonde haired Leaf genin said
"Shhh Naruto the Hokage is speaking," the pink haired girl said. The Hokage proceeds to give a lengthy speech about ninjas and the world and what not and the third proctor for the exam finally introduces himself having come late. He explains that to many people are passing so there will be a preliminary tournament where just about anything goes. After everything you're told to get with your jounin and go to the rafters about the ground floor
"How have the exams been treating you?" Jagar says with a soft smile
"So far so good," Jamie says
"Listen guys if any of you end up fighting any of the other Sand ninjas, forfeit," Jagar whispers, "It's not worth it, their on a mission to get to the top for reasons I can't explain. But other than that good luck..."
"Wait what?!" Axel says staring at Jagar extremely shocked
"Don't worry about it you'll see in due time," Jagar says pointing to a giant screen, "Their announcing the first round."
Pick which rounds you want to see. You're allowed to take control of Jamie and Axel, the others I'll just write out
Sasuke vs Zaku Jamie vs Shino Sakura vs Ino Tenten vs Temari Shikamaru vs Kin Naruto vs Kiba Hinata vs Neji Rock Lee vs Gaara Ray vs Dosu Choji vs Axel

Jamie vs Shino Ray vs Dosu Choji vs Axel
How appropriate. Ninjutsu vs. Whatever. Genjutsu vs Genjutsu. Taijutsu vs Taijutsu.
Because of my other CYOA experiences of Dosu, I can't wait to just wipe the floor with him. I don't mind taking control of Jaime and Axel. But I don't want to be the leading vote on it, just in case. What do you think, Ice?

Post by iceisnice on Feb 7, 2011 23:20:20 GMT
Axel's just boring to fight with, and I don't see him losing against Choji. Even if he does lose to Choji, it just proves that he's a bad fighter who's not even worth the trouble.
Jamie is more interesting to work with, so I got no problem controlling her. She's gonna need some help because Shino can be tricky to fight against.
Edit: don't confuse Dosu with Genjutsu, this isn't the New Age.

Post by kieo on Feb 8, 2011 4:24:19 GMT
Dosu's definitely not a genjutsu user he's got a 2.5 in ninjutsu, a 2 in taijutsu, and a 1.5 in genjutsu. He's you with reversed roles
So the way I see it we have a vote to control our team's fights and a vote to just control ours and Jamie's which in my book makes Jamie have an extra vote. If something changes soon I can possibly post. And for the other fights I'll give brief summaries of

I agree with Ice. I think Axel is strong enough to take Choji down. He's basically like Dhalsim from Street Fighter, just stronger in my opinion. In addition, Choji doesn't make it through the latter portions in canon, adding to Ice's justification.
I WOULD like to take control of Jamie though.
So basically....
Vote for Ice's idea

A Leaf genin known as Sasuke and the Sound genin Zaku enter the arena below staring at each other. Clearly there's some past animosity between the two as the blonde haired Leaf genin standing a few feet away from you telling Sasuke to kick his ass for Sakura or something along those lines. Anyways the fight starts with Zaku winning using some sound attacks and Sasuke only landing a few blows. In the end some weird markings began to cover Sasuke as he twisted Zaku's arms violently until he passed out. Everyone gasped in awe as Sasuke collapsed soon after winning the battle
"Hmph looks like Sand ninjas aren't the only ruthless ones," Axel comments causing a small smirk on your face. The white haired jounin quickly takes Sasuke away as the medical ninjas come in and take Zaku whose arms are literally twisted in ways you thought impossible. All eyes turn to the large screen as the next names appear
JAMIE HISLAN V.S. SHINO ABURAME
Your eyes turn to Jamie as she takes a deep breath. "I guess I'm up," she says stretching
"He's one of those guys we almost fought the other day," Axel says observing Shino who was on an opposite rafter, "Kick his ass for us."
"But don't overdo it we don't want to seem like we're ruthless," you say with a sarcastic smirk, "Best of luck Jamie."
"Jamie he's of Konoha's Aburame clan they use bugs to attack so try not to get them on you and what not," Jagar says as Shino jumps down to the arena below
"Roger that, my katons should handle it and my fuutons will blow them away," Jamie says jumping down as well
POV Change
You stand in front of Shino analyzing him. He seems like the dark mysterious time keeping his hands in his jacket and wearing sunglasses. He pulls his arms out and seems to be staring at you. "I apologize for what my teammates did the other day. They were afraid after what that red head did, I don't think all of you are like that but at the same time I've yet to think otherwise so prove me wrong," Shino says as you hear a low humming sound, "But don't think I won't give you the fight of your life these exams are important to me, my team, and my village."
"Thanks for that. And I'll give you a fight to," you say getting in your battle stance, "These exams are important to me as well."
"Well if you kids are done yapping, begin!" the proctor says before shunshining to the rafters
Shino quickly raises his arms up and two black clouds of bugs swarm out in your direction. You quickly run in a counterclockwise direction trying to get a feel for the battle. The insects quickly follow you as Shino just stands there looking in your direction

Shino is a long-range fighter. Taijutsu could be his weakness, which is Jaime's secondary focus. But then again, Shino's bugs do consume chakra. We need to be somewhat careful. In addition, how convenient that we get a new fuuton to use for this battle. I may have to watch Shino's battle in the chuunin exams to get a better feel for his attack strategy.
Tornado shot on the incoming horde of insects, then shunshin towards Shino with the intent to engage in taijutsu.

You quickly perform a sleight of hand seals preparing to unleash your newest fuuton. "Fuuton: Tornado Shot!" you say inhaling and pulling the bugs in your direction a lot faster. You quickly blow out shooting a powerful spiral which collected the bugs and severed most of them in half. You can tell Shino's surprised so you quickly shunshin behind him and throw a punch connecting with Shino's cheek. Shino stumbles backwards, before you run after him throwing another punch
Shino moves backwards, evading your punch, and throwing a punch of his own. You duck and hear a loud buzzing sound as several bugs launch out of his sleeve and push against you, sending you flying backwards. You look at yourself as the bugs begin to crawl all over your body. You begin to swat them away and feel your chakra being drained from you, chakra sucking bugs!
You quickly do the seals for another Tornado Shot and fire it in Shino's direction. The bugs that were on you and coming at you quickly got pulled into the jutsu and were ripped apart. Shino jumped to the side trying to avoid the attack, which collided with the wall behind him leaving a small hole in it. Shino slowly got up his left arm hanging loosely at his side, the sleeve was torn off and it was bleeding slightly
You shunshin behind him and quickly do a few hand seals. "Katon: Fireball!" you say as the attack slams into Shino head on and point blank. "Game," you say taking a few deep breaths before you hear a low buzzing sound. From the smoke of your Fireball hundreds of bugs fly out and come in your direction
"That would be my Insect Clone jutsu, you're lucky you wiped most of them out but you're still probably screwed," Shino says from behind you. You can tell that he's only a foot or two behind you but the bugs are coming fast in front of you. You wonder how much more Shino would be able to handle in this fight. Especially since you were trying to save your trump for the real tournament even if it was necessary to escape the situation you may have to...
