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.

Nestled along the dunes near the oasis is the dojo an ancient stone building a former coliseum converted by Toraono Kaibudo and his wife Azame into a specially domed dojo; a place of perpetual learning for the martial arts, and combat at its finest. One side was dedicated to weapons more specifically the sword but weapons the other side of the house was dedicated to unarmed combat. A finesse and power that was understandably overwhelming and set for bloodletting. The stone pillars upholding the building were set with skill, chakra, and care to promote maximum stability throughout the entire structure. The dome was added to promote an atmosphere and provide air conditioning in a round-about way through specially placed vents. The floors of special marble in some areas were be-speckled and set apart by floors coated with special disinfected sand that wouldn't infect a bloodied warrior. Weapons racks lined the walls of the second area with meticulous care in stands. On the northern side of the dojo were padded wraps and leggings, for martial arts training. The Toraono Clan Dojo once sat at just over thirty feet in height with an additional ten feet higher in dome. The steps leading up to the main antechamber were an odd sand red marble, brown marble stained by bloodied sand. Six chambers were divided in shapes necessary to provide optimum training in various forms of combat. Two more additions had been made due to the children of the Toraono clan actually becoming full-fledged ninja were dedicated to ninjutsu and genjutsu. The ninjutsu chamber was in an underground cavern while the genjutsu chamber was in a calm hand dug bath chamber irrigated ever so slightly by the Oasis itself and heated by the sun.


A large tower of steel reinforced sandwyrm bone braces against the stone ceilings and crystal inlaid walls on the eastern edge of the Toraono Dojo. This tower was one of the few well known routes to underground oasis. It was also known as the Throne of Bone and resident of the Demonbeast King also known as the Akuma Sennin, Toraono Kuro of the Toraono Clan. Over seventy yards in circumference, the Tower base has three entrances but only one is accessible by the normal residents of Suna. There is one that only the Kazekage’s steward or the Kazekage themselves can use. The other special entrance is only for personnel bearing special seals given by Toraono Kuro himself. Unlike the maw of Baranyx made from the remains of the mad giant sandwyrm slain by one of the Sunahoshi clan. The Throne of Bone was made of several sandwyrms fallen in combat to Toraono Kaibudo, an immortal master of martial arts. Interlocking and interlacing the entire structure are struts, bars, and pins of steel and elementally magnetized iron. In the main tower were a set of chambers for the actual family of Toraono Kuro. One set of rooms belonged to Toraono Reikiko. The set of rooms adjacent her own now belonged to her adopted brother Toraono Naki.


Kuro placed a set of training weights on a rack as he felt his adopted son enter. He turned to the young man and smiled genuinely. Kuro stood at six feet, two inches, weighing in at two hundred and eighty pounds. Kuro’s silver gray mane of hair had a reasonable amount of muscle mass to conceal. With a twenty one inch neck Kuro’s hair couldn’t conceal very much even as it cascaded to the center of his upper back. Violet eyes with gold slits peered from a chocolate brow with large ebony horns growing from where a normal man’s temples would be. He wore a sand tone obi around his thirty six inch waist. The obi allowed Kuro to carry his honor blade in a specialized bone sheath. Kuro wore his battle pouch on a second sash just above his right hip. Adjacent his sacred blade Kuro wore a pair of collapsed fuuma shuriken, and last but not least Kuro wore his leg sheath on the interior of his hakama just atop his fighting gi shorts with his ANBU serum and summon scrolls. A convenient cut in the silk cloth of his left hakama pants leg allowed Kuro full access to his ANBU gear without showing exactly where it was till he motioned to grab it. Securing his anbu arm guards and leggings Kuro covered the runic terran markings of his hand and leg wraps. Kuro’s tail swished back and forth its tiger stripes faintly surging with chakra. His black gi top concealed his overly muscular upper body.


"Welcome to the Toraono Dojo, I am your new father, Toraono Kuro, you are here for training and to be a good brother to Reikiko. I expect you will have alot of questions but first I have 3 for you. Look at this document and answer them when you are ready."


The questions read:

"What do you want to learn?

What do you consider to be your greatest strength?

What is it that pushes you onward?
 
Naki was pacing around in his room. As of right now, the child seemed pretty bored, and maybe a little annoyed. Bored because, well of course, he had nothing to do. Annoyed, because the man who adopted him was to busy to come stop by and explain everything to him. Well, at least he was kind enough to adopt Naki. But still, Naki really wished he'd get the chance to talk to him, even if it was just for a little! Why would a Sennin adopt...him?! Out of every person, him?! Naki wasn't sure 'why' he was chosen or what Kuro had planned, but he was sure of one thing. He couldn't disappoint Kuro, no matter what. The child was known for being a bit of a runt and was always picked on in his old foster home by the other kids. Now that he can get some real shinobi training, he wouldn't be picked on again! But the question is, could he really take the training?

Currently, Naki was dressed in a dark blue hoodie. The hoodie's sleeves stopped once it reached Naki's elbows. Alongside that, he was wearing black baggy pants that stopped at shin height. To top it all off, he wore brown old sandals on his little feet. After some time pacing around the room in boredom, Naki decided to exit. The child exhaled loudly and opened the door walking out of his room. There, he saw the large man once more! His new father, the Sennin of the Sand! Toraono Kuro! The large man was currently readjusting and organizing weights on the rack when Naki entered. He turned and smiled at Naki, leaving the young child to flinch. He averted his eyes to the floor and spoke up. "O-O-Oh...h-hello d-dad----I-I mean, Mr.Toraono sir!" It was clear the child was trying to seem respectful and show a bit of manners. After all, no one really took the opportunity to adopt him, and here, one of the sand's Sennin took him in! Although, Naki was a little bit foreign when it came to manners. He never really had to use it considering he was in that foster home his whole life and those bullies always picked on him.

Then, the Sennin spoke out to Naki. Naki listened intently. Did he just say brother? So this man also has a daughter. That's cool! He's going to have a sibling! But, Naki couldn't ask anything right now. He was given a document with questions on it. Taking the document, he looked at the paper. "What...do I wanna...learn...?" The child had basic education, although he wasn't all that smart. At least it was good enough to read the questions though! "W-Well, I wanna learn Ninjutsu Mr.Toraono sir!" Looking down at the next question, he blinked. Naki gulped. He didn't really have a great strength that he knew of! Looks like he'd have to lie if he was going to impress Kuro. "Well, everything is my greatest strength Mr.Toraono sir! I'm an all around powerhouse!" Okay, that seemed believable enough. Naki was SURE Kuro would buy it. And finally, he read the last question. "Um...well, I..." Naki clenched his fists. As he did so, he crumbled the paper a bit. "I wanna prove myself to everyone! And to that, I'm going to become the greatest shinobi that ever lived!" It's been a while since Naki's gotten this excited. He just wondered what the point of these questions were for.

You can find your starting stats and classes in the dojo thread I made for you here: https://www.ninpocho.com/viewtopic.php?f=442&p=228818#p228818

As you gain skills and learn the system from battle rules and the main setting feel free to talk with other players and build the character you want to have
For example I built Kuro to be able to help anyone do and learn just about anything. I am still learning all I can but I want to be able to teach as much as possible hence his skillsets and his abilities are geared to be extremely durable and balanced allowing him to display just about any basic jutsu and explain it.

Feel free to chat with others on skype and your sister will be a valuable ally as there will be times I am not available for explanations and limited to quick rp posts.
You especially need to speak to players like Takahashi Shiori and Yamaryuu Sora for insight into both Suna history and Game mechanics as knowing how to play and why sunans do what they do will help you enjoy your stay on NC far better.


IC:
"O-O-Oh...h-hello d-dad----I-I mean, Mr.Toraono sir!"

"What...do I wanna...learn...?"


"W-Well, I wanna learn Ninjutsu Mr. Toraono sir!"

Kuro sat down in front of Naki and listened intently noting that Naki was very excited and actually nervous. Kuro hoped in time that the young man would grow accustomed to being around him. As his son he would be the shining example of the clan and a special showing of how Sunagakure raises its children. Everyone feared his daughter because of her lineage, they would respect her brother because of his training, they would learn to fear his wrath as well, Kuro would make sure of that.

"Well, everything is my greatest strength Mr. Toraono sir! I'm an all around powerhouse!"

Kuro smiled and nodded genuinely to his answer. Kuro was certain Naki did not have a particular skillset but that was why he had adopted him. He was a normal albeit small young man, no one would ever suspect the power he would one day wield nor would they ever see it coming when he struck. This young man would be the perfect ninja.

"Um...well, I..."
"I wanna prove myself to everyone! And to that, I'm going to become the greatest shinobi that ever lived!"


That would be a problem as no one knew who was the greatest shinobi that ever lived hence there was nothing for him to truly compare to so Kuro responded to this answer verbally with a kind heart. "You have already proven yourself just by being here but as far as becoming the greatest shinobi that ever lived that will be a problem as no one knows who the greatest is. So in your case we will train together so that you will become the strongest, most unstoppable shinobi you could ever be. Is that acceptable for you my son, also you can call me anything but Mr. Toraono as my father Kaibudo still holds that title and your Grandfather will never give that particular title up to anyone."

Kuro the produced a set of training scrolls, one was marked ninjutsu, another was marked taijutsu, and the final one was marked genjutsu.
"Every morning we will run 5 miles around the coliseum track. We will then do 50 weighted push ups, 50 weighted crunches, and 200 squats... I hate squats but they are necessary... Naki would notice Kuro looking at a memory crystal briefly as he mentioned squats before returning to the discussion at hand ((my wife loves my buttocks so I must keep it firm)) After our daily warm up we will go through the basic Toraono Katas for forced muscle memory of shi shi ken or lion's fist which is the basic combat style of the Toraono Clan. You must be fit in order to wield ninjutsu as the strain of unleashing chakra can kill the physically weak. Every evening before bed we will repeat the morning training regiment as long as you are not too worn out from afternoon games with Reikiko and myself. Last but not least I will give you a lesson in genjutsu every 3 days so that you can naturally develop the WILLPOWER necessary to resist genjutsu that can be used to trick you into doing all kinds of things. So with this underway let's go find your sister and get some breakfast. You can also talk to me at anytime if you call out for me anywhere in the dojo I will hear it and come running. Now as we walk about what are your questions? I will never lie to you so please be careful what you ask as I will give you an honest answer as you are my son."<i></i>

As Naki told was about to answer Kuro's questions, his father sat down in front of him preparing to listen. Naki told him everything Kuro wanted to know. It was quite simple really. Naki seemed a bit anxious though. He didn't want to ruin his first relationship with someone who took the chance to notice and adopt him. Especially a Sennin of Suna. When he told Kuro he was an all around powerhouse, Kuro seemed to smile. Naki thought Kuro took the bait, but little did he know that he was wrong. Then Naki started to talk about how he wanted to prove himself to everyone. Kuro informed him that he's proved himself just by being here, which made Naki frown a bit. Then he told him how they don't know who really was the strongest Shinobi who lived, so there was no way for Naki to really find that goal. But! He told Naki that he can get him to become the best shinobi he could be, which made him smile. "Y-Yeah dad! It's acceptable! And no worries, I won't call you Mr.Toraono." Naki giggled a bit at the last part, but now, he was ready to learn about his new training regiment.

Kuro pulled out three scrolls. One was Ninjutsu, the other Taijutsu, and the third, Naki never heard about it, but it was Genjutsu. Naki looked at the scrolls confused. Then Kuro began talking about their new training regiment. Naki listened intently, but his eyes widened. "F...F...Five miles....around the coliseum....fi-fifty weighted push ups?! Fifty Weighted Crunches....??!? A-And two hundred squats....?!?!?!" Naki thought anxiously. He could barely do FIVE push-ups! He gave a nervous smile to his father. Naki couldn't fail! He was going to give it his all. He didn't want to disappoint his father, so he was going to try his hardest and push his limits! Then, he said 'after our daily WARM UP' which made Naki feel a chill down his spine. That was all warm ups. He listened to the basic training Kuro told Naki he'd be going through. He nodded nervously when he told him he had to be fit in order to wield ninjutsu. Finally, he wrapped up everything he needed to tell him.

Kuro told Naki they'd be going to get breakfast, but first be finding his sister. Then he told him that he can ask any questions he'd like. Naki had quite a few actually. "S...Sure! I have a few questions actually! Well for starters, what's Genjutsu...it sounds funny." Then he moved onto his next question. "Also, um, is uh...Reikiko was it? Is she my little or older sister and is she mean...? Do you think she'll uh I dunno, hate me or whatever?" Then he moved onto his final question! "Annnnd, when am I gonna learn cool ninja moves! I wanna know how to do Ninjutsu and use chakra and stuff!"
----------



OOC: Horrible post, sorry x.x I had a good one before, but like I told you, post got deleted. I was on a lack of muse.
 
Kuro followed the young man's body language and breathing all too easily from his days as an ANBU Captain so when he heard about the training regiment and his heart skipped a beat Kuro almost laughed. Kaibudo had did the same thing to him when he was 5 years old luckily the running was at Kuro's pace not Kaibudo's back then.
After reminiscing a bit Kuro answered Naki's question:

"Genjutsu are techniques that alter your senses to make you see, hear, feel, and literally imagine things that aren't truly there. They are very unique techniques and incredibly difficult to master."

Kuro did not want to disparage him from any of their lessons but genjutsu would always be last because the mental scars and agony even the simplest genjutsu could invoke could truly harm a youth.

"Reikiko should be just a bit older than you, perhaps by just under a year, she is 12 and according to the records from the foster home you are 11. She is very kind and soft spoken and a treasure to all whom get to know her. She loves ice cream too so you might want to get used to that for desert. Feel free to provide me with a list of things you like and don't like so that I can adjust the menu and your room to suit you. Now as far as learning ninja moves, as soon as we read over the ninjutsu scroll and go over the basics of chakra we will discover your first elemental affinity and begin your training shortly after that."

Kuro unfurled the ninjutsu scroll in preparation for today's lessons. He then stood and stretched before nodding to Naki to follow him to the coliseum for warm up.
 
As Naki walked, he listened to his father answer his question about genjutsu. He nodded slowly as he payed attention to what Kuro had to say. "So...wait...i-is it like...um..." The child put his hand on his chin and stared down with a frustrated expression plastered on his face. "Well...um, an illusion kind of?" That sounded pretty cool! Kind of like magic in its own weird way. "Do you think I can learn genjutsu? It sounds kind of neat! I can be like...a magician!" The child giggled at the thought of him being in a magician costume at a magic show. As they walked, Naki asked about Reikiko and what not. Kuro's answer made Naki stare at his father in confusion. "Um...11? Dad, that's cool that you think I'm 11 and all! Buuut, I'm only 8 years old silly." The young Shinobi in training gave a smile towards the Sennin as he said that.

He listened as Kuro described Reikiko. He nodded slowly. "Oooh." She seemed really interesting. It would be awesome to get to know her! "Oo! Ice cream! I get to eat ice cream everyday father?! That's so cool!" Of course, it was Naki's mistake to assume she ate ice cream everyday. Either way, he didn't mind. It tasted awesome after all. "Well, I don't really mind whatever you give me and stuff...the fact that you brought me with you makes me suuuuuuper duuuuper happy! Really!" Naki smiled. Then he frowned with a determined glare once training was mentioned. "Got it! I'll do my best and I won't let you down! I promise!" Naki yelled out, his voice echoing throughout the halls while he gave Kuro a thumbs up.
 
Kuro led Naki to a nearby kitchen where he pulled a apron to himself using telekinesis nonchalantly before turning around to ask Naki what he would like for brunch since it was a little late for breakfast. "So son as your first meal of the day what would you like, think of just about anything in the world and if I can find the recipe or imagine it then I will make it for you."<i></i> Kuro levitated some cookware to him to begin his own meal as he set out a pot and poured water into it by hand to set to boil for rice. He also started slicing some beef strips from a large marinated steak which was marbled rather beautifully by both fat and age. He then set aside some carrots, spinach, and some stewed tomatoes in preparation for his own meal while he waited to see what Naki would like to eat.
 
Naki followed Kuro into the kitchen. When he pulled the apron to himself like...with air or something! Naki went wild! He had no clue what telekinesis was, and even if he did, that was just a real shocker to him. The child's eyes sparkled in amazement! "Whoa! So cool...!" He watched as Kuro used his telekinesis skills to pick up items and bring them towards himself. When he asked Naki what he wanted to eat, the child immediately yelled out. "Sushi!" It was simply the young soon to be shinobi's favorite food! Whether or not that'd be good for breakfast...or well...'brunch'....Naki didn't really care! He just wanted some sushi.

(bad short post...Sorry for the wait. I've been kind of swamped up with school and was having trouble posting into the class thread, hopefully we can get this rolling again. And again, sorry for the wait...))
 
Kuro grinned for a moment as he remembered what he was taught about sushi. Suzuhime had been instrumental in expanding his cooking repertoire beyond desert style cooking. He separated the ingredients for Naki's request from Reikiko's normal meal of strawberry cheesecake. Kuro then pulled some fresh blue salmon, devil prawn shrimp, crimson pepper sauce, cucumbers, avocados, special sticky rice, unsalted dried seaweed - Nori - (layer sheets prepared for making sushi), spiced rice wine vinegar, sugar, tobasco salt. Kuro prepped and sliced meats and vegetables lengthwise into thin rectangles. Using cucumbers, carrots, desert mushrooms, blue salmon, devil shrimp, and avocados. Kuro made six distinct perfectly cut stacks of meat and vegetables for wrapping in sticky rice and nori seaweed paper. Simultaneously Kuro used his telekinesis to prepare 4 cups of jasmine rice in a rice cooker where he would rinse the rice repeatedly until the rice water was not cloudy. Kuro then filled the rice pot with fresh water, then he added a handful of sea salt and crumbled black pepper.

Kuro then used a large bowl and added in about two tablespoons of rice wine vinegar mixed with crimson pepper sauce. Until he separated the rice grains to his liking. As they cooked Kuro added in less than a handful of sugar and salt as he stirred until it all dissolved in the water. Kuro poured the mixture onto the rice and mixed thoroughly by "slicing" the rice. He added a little more rice wine vinega to make the grains of rice separate a little easier.

Kuro checked temperatures on the meat so that it would stay moist as he placed the -Nori- seaweed paper on a special bamboo mat and then spread rice onto the seaweed. Kuro spread it out so there were no empty holes until it filled the middle third. He then dampened the end edges with rice vinegar so it stuck when he rolled it. Kuro placed the strips of the cucumbers first,then an even layer of carrots, then a single rectangle of avocado, next to an equal length of salmon, desert mushroom, and shrimp as it all settled evenly onto rice.

Using deft movements of his large hands Kuro rolled the bamboo mat into a long roll by first folding the bottom third in, Kuro then rolled it all up. A large green in color tube filled with rice, vegetables, and fish emerged. Shortly afterward 5 more tubes 16 inches in length and 3 inches in circumference sat on the kitchen counter. Kuro secured four plates, and six more smaller dipping dishes of soy sauce, wasabi, red ginger, and cracked blue pepper salt.

Kuro placed all six rolls beside one another and then used a special cooking knife from a hidden knife retainer to cut them all down the middle of each roll. Telekinetically Kuro took each half and placed them parallel to each other. He then quickly repeated his original efforts by cutting both halves down the middle simultaneously, taking those portions and repeating his efforts until he had sixty, approximately 1.6 inch pieces of sushi which he then plated 15 pieces per plate. Kuro's cutting technique and telekinesis insured that the ingredients did not spill out of the rolls. Kuro placed 4 sets of chopsticks on a tray before calling for Reikiko, and Suzuhime to receive some of Naki's choice of breakfast.
