Ninpocho Chronicles

Ninpocho Chronicles is a fantasy-ish setting storyline, set in an alternate universe World of Ninjas, where the Naruto and Boruto series take place. This means that none of the canon characters exists, or existed here.

Each ninja starts from the bottom and start their training as an Academy Student. From there they develop abilities akin to that of demigods as they grow in age and experience.

Along the way they gain new friends (or enemies), take on jobs and complete contracts and missions for their respective villages where their training and skill will be tested to their limits.

The sky is the limit as the blank page you see before you can be filled with countless of adventures with your character in the game.

This is Ninpocho Chronicles.

"Babies for sale!", Hakase shouted loudly, "Babies for sale! Come and get them! For the next thirty minutes, we have a buy one get one deal!"

Behind a stall next to the dawn bringer's statue was a young slender teenage girl, Dare Hakase. The girl was on the short end and barely reached five feet tall. She had neatly combed brown amber hair and a matching set of eyes. The girl was wearing an academy uniform with a white shopkeeper's apron over. In fine print the apron read, "Babies R US". Behind the girl were several babies locked in cages.

Baby poultry that is. Chickens, geese, ducks, and that sort of thing.

"Babies for sale!"

Hakase waved a small sign with the poultry prices. This was an energetic as the young teenager got. She was using every bit of her extrovert energy at the moment. Ordinarily she would have her nose buried in a textbook, but today she was summoning her inner genki girl. She was visibly nervous about having to sell her wares in such a way - but what else could she do? When you aren't born with a silver kunai you have to hustle if you want to make the rent. The academy provided her with a small allowance, but it was only barely enough to cover the absolute bare necessities. It couldn't be helped.

"What about you sir? Or is it mam?", Hakase shouted into the crowd, "Would you be interested in purchasing a baby? They were born just yesterday. You can't get more fresh than that!"

A yawn of yawns escaped the kunoichi's lips; Producing an awkward facial expression as the woman's teeth struggled to keep her cigarette from falling. Arms stretching above, the Chuunin continued her pace through the afternoon crowd; Long figure standing above the majority.
Tutelage had been exhausting again today—But ... when had it really never? Blessed one of those rare opportunities of freedom, Siu considered it no better a time than to drink her stress for the day away.

Eyes scanned about and over heads, hunting for solace in some hopefully less congested establishment. A large percentage of the bustle probably had been others just finishing work like herself. This would be around the time her ears caught word of some alarming news nearby.

"Babies for sale!"

Two brows elevated as the woman's head turned in the proclamation's direction; features obviously perplexed, and slightly concerned.
Standing about a good foot shorter than the woman, appeared some youth waving about a sign with varying prices—quite enthusiastically too, one might add. A short observation of nearby expressions informed Siu hadn't been the only passerby caught off guard through the odd method of ... advertising.

Wordlessly stooping closer towards the cage, the kunoichi's irises studied the chirping, quacking, and honking stock. Little things they were, indeed: In fact, she doubted if they'd even been allowed a day on 'em—no few appearing like they'd been snatched no sooner than leaving the womb.

"Hrrm," uttered something akin to contemplation, the woman's lungs welcoming another drag. Yet, attention undetached from her curiosity.

"Advertising like that .... Might get'cha arrested."

..... How did one even go about cooking these things?

Hakase tilted her head to the side upon hearing a potential customer warn her that her advertising tactics might get her arrested.

"Is it because of the Poultry Anti-Trust Act of Two fifych-...?" Hakase ended in a stutter. The poor girl couldn't remember the year the village's anti-trust legislation had been passed. She must have felt incredibly stupid because they had only just covered it a few weeks ago in the academy's history seminar.

"Because we aren't engaging in any predatory pricing, I promise! It isn't like my boss is hoping to drastically lower prices on poultry and drive his competitors to bankruptcy! It isn't like he plans to then raise prices to earn a monopoly rent! No, no. Why would you even suggest that?! HA HA."

Hakase frantically waved her hands. All the while her speech became more slurred.

"No, no! We are engaging in one hundred percent legal trade here - but I tell you what," the assistant shopkeeper said as she took one of the nearby cages and held it toward the potential customer. Inside was a newborn goose - a 'gosling'.

"If you don't say anything to the authorities you can have this baby goose on the house!"

The younger girl's frantic behavior managed to draw Siu's attention from the cages; observing the sudden spiel with risen brows. In truth—even the Chuunin herself didn't remember the year of the poultry act, thus why she wouldn't even bother commenting upon it. Halfway through the spiel, those same brows lowered to synergize with narrowing eyes.

'Oddly descriptive for 'reassurance'...'

Momentarily, the woman did appear taken aback upon the sudden presentation of a cage afore her—and morsel of a meal provided 'on the house.' Wordlessly, her focus would affix upon it, back to the girl, then back to the cage. A single hand lifted to clutch the top handle and relieve the object from the youth's hands.
Raising its content afront herself, the Chuunin inspected the honking little creature; Pathetically waddling about, tripping over nothing but its own clumsiness, frantically flapping tiny, undeveloped wings—Not much unlike its seller. As if practically realizing its destiny for a dinner plate.
The suspicion upon Siu's features never eased. After a length, she'd stoop back over—this time, to meet the height of the child; Aiming to look her straight in the eye.

"Oi..." uttered the single address, its nature seeped in distrust. "Kinda shady business you over here runnin', kid?"

Realizing the student uniform underneath, a further glance was made to actually read the words imprinted upon its seller's apron: 'Babies R Us'

Hakase watched in silence as she waited for the customer to respond to her not-so-subtle gosling bribe.

"Oi..." A cold stream of water began to fall from Hakase's back as the customer approached her and set their eyes straight at her. "Kinda shady business you over here runnin, kid?"

Now water began to fall from Hakase's eyes and the assistant shopkeeper slowly lowered herself on the ground. She placed the gosling cage right next to herself. Once on the ground she assumed the traditional dogeza prostration form.

"Please don't report this to the Village Trade Commission. I'm only a provisional part timer. The boss will fire me at this rate..." Hakase said in a quiet voice.

Oddly, the caged gosling had imitated Hakase's dogeza.

Well ... This was awkward.

Visibly perplexed initially, amidst analyzing the course of things, two hands could already be witnessed waving back and forth upon perceiving what was to take place, in an attempt to deter the younger child from completing the position ... But all too late.
Nigh immediately, the woman disregarded her cigarette and crouched to the child. Perplexed and curious gazes from passersby weren't aiding to alleviate the discomfort of the situation, given away by the subtle panic visible upon woman's features.

"Hey, hey!" The Chuunin started, both hands encouraging the youth to lift herself up as quickly as possible. "Let's—a—not have none of that."

If anything ranked top ten on Siu's list for most awkward of circumstances—it was being inordinately respected or apologized to. Even just being referred to as 'Sensei' and 'Miss' from students still felt awkward from time to time; But this—this was just too much to bear.
The woman's brain worked overdrive to determine what consoling words could be said to defuse the situation. Fumbling through her thoughts, it didn't take long to be reminded just how bad at this she still was, despite regularly working with children.

"Aren't you a—uh—student?" Attempted a hasty change of subject, addressing earlier observations. "This your family's business or somethin'? Shouldn't you be home studying?"

Hakase tried to hold back the water coming from her eyes, but didn't have much success.

"Yeshrr," Hakase gave a slurred response to the potential (but extremely unlikely) customer's question.

She maintained the dogeza stance, but raised her head slightly. Not that it mattered match. Even if Hakase stood up, she'd have to look up given the difference in height between the two of them.

"I ahm a student. This is my part time jawb."

Her tears only grew larger after saying this. "Please don't report me to the academy! I know we aren't supposed to have outshide jawbs, but I am so tired of pancakes. Can you grok that?"

"Pancakes...?" The single word repeated as if the woman heard something foreign.

"Everyone can cook pancakes," She'd attempt to entertain, despite being lost. "Nothin' to it but batter and a pan."

The mention of 'Academy' allowed Siu to better piece things together, if only just a bit: So not just 'any' student—but an actual shinobi-in-training.

'.... Just my luck.' Setting out to take a break from students, only to bump right back into one. A heavy sigh heaved .... The youth still refused to rise from dogeza too.

"Listen, I won't you report, ok? Neither to authorities, Village Trade Commissions, nor the Academy. Just, uh, stop crying ... And bowing ... Please."

The woman's head swung round to reobserve the passersby—the scene was still making her look bad. A further scan of her surroundings would continue.

"You like dango?" Something like a parental smile attempted to construct upon Siu's face ... It was hard.
