You quickly perform some handseals and shout, "Rock Clones!" Seven clones appear around you, three of them to block the poison, two of them to deal with Conor, and the other two clones to deal with Felicia. You immediately start running towards Akiko, who's still crawling on the ground. With your Rinnegans shared vision, you see the three clones block all of the globs of poison. Conor sent a blast of Wind infused with cutting power that mowed down the two clones dealing with him. Felicia extended her hand out and her crystal armor moved off of her and onto the clones, enveloping them and crushing them.
Luckily, the clones's diversion was long enough, because you reached Akiko and applied Kai on him.
---
(Back to Akiko's Viewpoint)
You were shocked when one minute everything was shaking and the next moment it stopped. You also felt the adrenaline fade away as quickly as it came. You looked up and saw Sera standing over you. You quickly got up while she said, "It was a genjutsu. Felicia uses the crystals to get to you." You feel embarrassed, as the thought of you crawling on the floor while everyone else was fighting came to your mind.
"Sorry." you reply. Sera just shrugs and turns back to the action. You see Conor, with his puppet, and Felicia standing about 10 meters away from you.
"Time to get serious." Felicia says. Conor says nothing as he makes some handseals. You shoot three Ki Blasts at him to stop the handseals, but a giant earth wall appears in front of him.
"Impossible! She didn't use any chakra." Sera gasps. You look at Felicia, who does a unique fighting move and sends a rolling wave of earth at you. You're stunned too. How can she manipulate the Earth with no handseals or chakra? You push it aside as you dodge the wave. It must be due to her Link. You then see Conor rush straight at you, with a Wind Blade in one hand. You quickly send another Ki Blast at him, but he simply slices it into oblivion. You see his other hand's fingers moving rapidly and instinctly duck as several metal feathers zoom over your head. Conor uses this opening to slam his sword down on you when he gets pulled away by a.....tongue?
You look and see a huge chameleon with Sera's eyes slam Conor on the ground, using its tongue. You see the air get knocked out of him as he drops his Wind Blade. You look towards Felicia to see her riding an earth wave towards the chameleon, looking pretty pissed. You make another Ki Blast, but this time you use Controlled Speed on it. The blast rushes by in a blur, giving Felicia no time to dodge it. It hits her squarely in the chest, sending her tumbling off her wave. You might have made it too fast, because it looks like you knocked her unconscious.
You hear Conor groan as he realizes they've lost. The chameleon disappears, and it seems that Sera was in the chameleon. But not anymore. She now has a kunai to Conor's neck. You hear him say, "Okay, okay. You've beaten us." She removes the kunai and uses some rope to tie handcuffs around Conor's hands. You walk over to Felicia and carry her over to Sera. Your feelings of how this is wrong start coming back, so you distract yourself by removing Speed Demon. Immediately, every muscle in your body aches. You fall on the ground, completely tired. Sera starts to move towards you, but you manage to say, "I'm okay." She still helps you up, but you fall down again because your legs are too tired to hold up your own weight. Sera just sighs and looks for Obito. She gasps as she sees him hauling Felicia over his shoulder.
"Time to go. You guys took way too long." Obito says. He seems to have some cuts on his chin and hands, but other than that he looks okay. He also lifts you up and carries you over his other shoulder.
"Couldn't you just give me some soldier pills?" you ask, your rapid breathing making it difficult to talk.
"No. It wouldn't suffice your body's needs. Right now, your body needs rest, not a quick adrenaline rush." Obito replies. He starts walking away, with Sera and Conor following behind. You manage to turn your head and see that the fat man who fought Obito is gone. Instead, only his skeleton remains. You shudder, and give away to exhaustion as you fall asleep.
---
You wake up in a small campsite in a dark forest. A campfire is burning, and three sleeping bags are littered around the campfire. Sera is sleeping in one of the sleeping bags, and it seems that Conor and Felicia are trapped inside theirs, as you see several seals binding them to their bags. Obito is wide awake and keeping watch. You stretch, still feeling a bit sore but otherwise okay. You still can't believe that five minutes of Speed Demon could make you that weak. Obito notices you're awake and motions for you to come over to him. You walk over to him slowly, partially because you don't want to wake anyone up but mainly because your muscles are still sore and overused.
"Don't make any sudden movements. There's a person on the same power level as me stalking us." Obito whispers almost inaudibly. You do nothing. You're way too tired and too exhausted to care, even though you probably slept a full day.
"I don't know why he's following us. Maybe he has some connections with the gypsy leader. Maybe he just wants to see Orochimaru's lair. Whatever it is, I'm going to split up the group." Obito whispers again, "You and Sera will take Conor and Felicia to Orochimaru's base. I alone will fight our stalker. You know how to get back to base, since we're on the same route we took to get to the gypsy camp. Conor and Felicia can't get out of those bags, so you're going to have to carry them all the way."
"There's no way you could trust me with this." you shake your head in disbelief.
"But that's where you're wrong. I know you want to kill Orochimaru. Who wouldn't? What he does to humans is just morally despicable. So, here's my offer. You get these kids back to Orochimaru's base. Then, when I arrive back, I'll use a genjutsu on you and Sera to make you train for 6 months in only a week. Then, we kill Orochimaru and Kabuto, run out of the Sound Village with Conor and Felicia, and the all of you will work for me and help me reach my goals instead of Orochimaru's. If you don't comply with my wishes, then you can just fight along beside me against this monster and hope that you live through it. So, do you accept? And don't lie, because I can tell if you're lying because of my Sharingan."
When Obito said this, it took you a couple of seconds to realize that you're goal might come true. You could finally get rid of Orochimaru and Kabuto. Although you would have to work for Obito and his plans, you would have gotten rid of two of your main enemies. This all depends on if Obito is telling the truth. For all you know, he could just be testing you. But this does sound like something he would do to reach his goals. This is too hard of a decision to make. But you have to choose.
A: Believe in Obito and follow his plan.
B: Don't believe in Obito and don't follow his plan.

This is a wonderful opportunity you've been granted here. You open your mouth but get interrupted when Obito starts laughing.
"Just joking! Why would I want to kill Orochimaru? He's been helping me reach my goals. I don't care what you were going to answer, but it was pretty funny seeing you so serious." Obito laughs, waking up Sera, Conor, and Felicia. You feel pretty embarrassed. You were just about to complain when Obito cutted you off again, "It's okay. I'm a master liar, no one would've figured out I was just joking around."
"Well, since you made me the object of your personal joke, why don't you teach me how to lie as good as you." you respond, still upset at his joke. You were so close to reaching your goal, and he just snatched it away.
"Sure! It would come in handy if you're on any spy missions. The most important rule to lieing is to put some truth in your lie. You just can't have a full 100% lie. It has to be around 40% truth and 60% lie, not exactly, but around that estimate. It was true that someone could be following us. The gypsy leader did say that with his death the Six Sages would come after me. Whether or not they're as strong as me, I don't know. It's probably just nothing to worry about."
By this time, Sera is completely awake, looking a little irritated from being woken up. You see Felicia trying to wiggle out of her sleeping bag, to no avail. Conor is just lying back, probably trying to fall asleep again.
"Sera, come over here. I want to hear your opinions." Obito commands. He waits for Sera to walk over to where you are before he continues, "Our path back home is unavaliable. One of the Kages is traveling on that route, supposedly for some diplomatic statement. He's got the best of the best with him, and if we get within a mile range of them they will notice us and capture us. Maybe even kill us. So, we've got four choices here."
"We could send note to Orochimaru about this obstacle and recieve our next mission from the return message. We could wait for them to pass and resume our path, but I feel like that would waste too much time. We could go around them, but that's crossing into Land of Fire territory. Finally, we could follow the escort and see what happens. Nothing special might happen, since it's just a peace statement afterall, but it couldn't hurt to check. Oh, and we would have to find a way to hide Conor and Felicia for most of the choices. Anyways, I want to hear your opinions."
"You woke me up for this?" Sera yawns, "I don't care. Just whatever gets us out of this forest is fine with me. I'm going back to sleep." She walks back to her sleeping bag and falls on it, too tired to even zip it around her.
"Looks like it's all on you. No pressure. And even though I trust you, I will kill you if you try to notify the escort about us." Obito says. Well, looks like Obito is testing your decision making skills. Hopefully he's not joking around this time. You just sigh. It doesn't matter that much. He just gets a laugh at you. Might as well treat this like it's true(because it is true.)
A: Send word to Orochimaru that there is traffic and recieve your next mission.
B: Wait for the escort to pass, then return to base.
C: Circle around the escort, causing you to be in Land of Fire territory for a while.
D: Follow the escort from a safe distance.

(and have one of the messages be intercepted by the escort, bad move)
B: Wait for the escort to pass, then return to base.
(actually it doesn't even take so long as Obito supposes, in fact I'd argue all the other choices take longer, unless of course that escort is reallllllly slooooow)
C: Circle around the escort, causing you to be in Land of Fire territory for a while.
(it's possible, but as a sound nin, we don't want to alert the Land of Fire of Sound/Orochimaru's movements, it could be a possible hindrance to Orochimaru's plans)
D: Follow the escort from a safe distance.
(this is outside of our mission parameters and with Connor and Felicia in tow, presents too much risk)

After thinking about this choice, you said, "Let's just wait for the escort to go by. It can't take that long."
".......Okay. I'll respect your opinion and go with your choice." Obito replies. You then rest your muscles to pass the wait, unable to fall asleep for some reason. It might have to do with the fact that you're sleeping on hard ground. You hear Obito occasionally pace around impatiently. Looks like he's the type of guy who doesn't like sitting around, doing nothing. No wonder he made a joke on you. He must've been incredibly bored just staying awake.
After 6 hours, Obito says loudly, "Time to move." You get up relunctantly, stretching your muscles. You feel quite well-rested. Your muscles are still a bit sore, but you feel like you could easily walk the way back to the base. Sera gets up while yawning and crawls over to you.
"So, what are we doing?" she asks.
"We waited for the escort to pass. Now we're just heading back to the base." you reply. She just nods and starts rolling up her sleeping bag. Obito lifts Conor and Felicia, still stuck in their sleeping bags, over his shoulders. He then rushes off, expecting again for the two of you to follow, which you do.
---
After two more days of travel, you made it back to Orochimaru's base. It was pretty uneventful, just nonstop traveling for 8 hours and then eating/resting for the other hours. Your group didn't see anyone along the way, so you're in the opinion that the Six Sages aren't anything to be afraid of.
Once your team arrived at the base, you were met by Orochimaru and Kabuto. They led all of you to a large stadium-like area. It was still in construction, but it seems as if it has already been used since there's a pool of blood in the middle of the arena.
"So, you two thought you could escape." Orochimaru says to Conor and Felicia, who are now just handcuffed with rope, "Well, this will not go unpunish. And I'm afraid it will have to be pretty severe. I've been thinking of.....interesting ways to do this. I could have you two fight to the death, but then you two would just end it too quickly. I could dissect one of you, while you're still alive, in front of the other one then stitch you back together with a machine serving your organs purposes, but that might be a bit too grotesque and too time-consuming. So instead, I will simply have one of you die."
"Now then, Sera, do you want the pleasure of choosing who dies and carrying it out? Or should Akiko here do it?" Orochimaru asks you two with a cruel smile on his face. You can see that Sera is in shock, not expecting this turn of events.
"Oh yes. One of you is going to have to kill either Conor and Felicia. Sera will have priority, but if she doesn't want to do it then Akiko here will." Orochimaru says. You see out of the corner of your eye Conor and Felicia completely stunned. They start whispering to each other fervently, with both of them ending up crying and hugging each other. It tears at your heart that one of them is going to die. And that you might have to end up killing them. You start shaking uncontrollably. You look at Sera and wait to here her answer.
(This choice will affect the killer's personality as well as the survivor's view of the killer. Choose a letter and a number.)
A: Sera is the killer.
B: You are the killer.
1: Felicia gets killed.
2: Conor gets killed.

Felicity is too valuable to throw away as it's been hinted she has a secondary power (ala Akiko's Ki). As for the killer, better to get the MC's first kill out of the way.

You see Sera start to shake, her fists clenching and unclenching again. She then slowly turns her head to you, and you notice her eyes are holding back tears.
"Please, Akiko. I can't do this." she whispers. You're shocked. You never could've imagined Sera being this broken. It should make you angry at Orochimaru, but your mind is now full with the implications that you are going to kill someone resally soon. You look at the ground. Why? Why is your life so complicated? It would've just been easier to die with your family in that raid.
You have to focus now, because Orochimaru is handing you a Kunai. You slowly accept it and look at both Conor and Felicia. You see nothing in their eyes, just them and their emotionless masks. You start to think about who you should kill, even though it tears at your heart. You finally make your decision, and slowly walk towards Conor. You see Felicia crying immediately, but Conor just stares at you. Except this time his eyes tell you everything. That he's accepted his death, that he thinks that you're going to kill Orochimaru one of these days, and that he wants to say that it's okay for you to kill him.
This just makes it even harder for you. Every step you take towards him is painful, with your mind telling you not to take another step. You finally make your way to Conor, every cell in your body moaning against you to not kill him. But you have to. You start to cry, so Conor raises your weapon hand right in front of his heart.
You hear him whisper, "Do it."
And you finally do. You stab him in the heart.
The feeling and sight of Conor's life fading out of him is almost too much for you. You were never one that liked killing. Even at a young age, you tried to stop it whenever someone would try to squash a bug. But this is just terrible. You see Conor fall lifeless on the ground, with Felicia crying right next to him. You did this. You ended a life. He'll never live in this world again. It feels terrible.
You hear Orochimaru congratulate you, but everythings so distant. You feel Sera's comforting hand on your shoulder, but it doesn't help at all. You're focused completely on how you just ended someone's life, and created a wound in Felicia far greater than any kunai could create. You've rid the world of Conor. And then you feel.....
(This will, of course, affect how Akiko is and how he views killing.)
A: Sadistically happy.
B: Immensely sad.
C: Unemotional.
D: Free Will.

Kind of like Orochimaru, actually.

You feel nothing. It confuses you that you have no emotions right now after you just killed Conor. You're puzzled. What could it mean? Maybe it means that your body recognizes death and killing as a natural occurence and that there is no need to cry over it, because killing will happen always. Hmm, interesting, you think. You do want to kill three people already, so why make it painful on yourself whenever you kill someone? Orochimaru didn't even give you a choice. And Conor wanted the same goal as you, so in the end, you don't see why you should beat yourself up over it.
You start to have your senses go back to normal. You see Felicia is still sobbing over her brother, but a couple of ninjas start to carry him away. She screams at them to stop, but Obito rushes to her and gives a clean chop to the back of her neck. She falls to the ground, and Obito catches her. It seems like he knocked her out. You hear Orochimaru clear his throat and say, "Well, I'm going to send the four of you on another mission, Akiko, Felicia, Obito, and Sera. There's actually a couple of missions for you guys to do, but I'll send other ninjas to do the other missions that you don't do, because you really only have time to do one. So, since you just killed a human for the first time, why don't you pick the mission, Akiko?"
"The first mission is recon. There's this person who goes around, saying how the Six Sages will save us all." Orochimaru explains. You look up at the Six Sages part and look at Obito, but his face hasn't changed at all. Orochimaru continues by saying, "We've started to hear about these Six Sages for a while now, so I want you to interrogate the man and find out all you can about the Six Sages."
"The second mission is stealing. There's a heavily protected caravan traveling from Suna to Konoha with loads of money. Konoha just sold a couple of islands off of the west coast to Suna and now they're recieving payment. Not only would the money benefit us if we manage to steal it, but we would also be striking a blow from Konoha's economy. And, if we could get the blame on a different village, we could cause a war!" Orochimaru says excitedly.
"Finally, the last mission is an kidnapping. A lot of my men have repeatedly reported being attacked by a "shadow in the light." They said that he moves entirely too fast to see, leaving only his shadow as a trace of movement. He's sabotaged countless missions, and has killed many of my ninjas. I want you to defeat him and bring him back here so I can study him before I kill him." Orochimaru says, "So, which mission do you want to do, Akiko?"
(Note, this is a big decision that will affect you and the story.)
A: The Six Sages Mission.
B: The Caravan Full of Money Mission.
C: The Shadow in the Light Mission.
Saga 1: The Experimental Disaster Wakes is completed!
Reward! Choose one:
D: A new C-Rank Fire Jutsu.
E: Upgrade one of your C-Rank or lower jutsus up by one rank.
F: + .5 to 2 different skills.

If we used controlled speed on ourselves and then used bomb clone would the bomb clone be affected by controlled speed?
Can we use controlled speed on our own jutsu (like make ki blast faster)? Would it speed up the use of our jutsu (like our hand seals would be even greater then 5, except for the chakra cost)?

If you used controlled speed on yourself, and then make a clone, the clone will still be at normal speed. And Overt is right, you have done controlled speed on Ki Blast before, so it is possible. And it can't speed up your hand seals. Your hands could move faster than normal, but you woulnd't be used to forming handseals that fast. |
