[HA] Learning bugs with this guy

[Cyber]

After weeks of reading through scrolls and books, Minato finally found someone who could teach him the art of his clan. But the down side is...he is from a different village. Minato having talked to the Hokage about his decision to find the man sets out on Journey. Now making it to a dense forrest in the middle of nowhere and ready to just give up and turn around. He knows he can't, but his gut says otherwise. What will this guy do? Who is he? He never could find the mans name but he knows his area and where he operates. Minato hopes to find him soon.

"Damn it! Where is this guy! Why does he have to hide like this?! WHERE ARE YOU COWARD!!!!

 

[Panthalassa]

You come across a great dock town, leaving the land out to the sea. You had traveled east in a very roundabout way. This was a small town, mostly comprised of fishermen, but had a few relatively big ships that could travel between continents. You do know his name, Aburame Panthalassa, and his nickname, "The Admiral", because that's public knowledge, since he's the 8th Rank of the Leader Board System.

 

[Cyber]

Coming across a rather large Tavern on the dock, I walk in and see a poster of a man on the wall. It says he is the 8th most wanted Shinobi in the world at the moment. "Looks like this is the guy, seems his name is Panthalassa "The Admiral" Aburame. I'm guessing this is the guy, he sounds strong if he is that wanted by the nations. Should be a great teacher then!" And with that, Minato walks up to the bar and asked the bar keeper if he knew where Panthalassa was.


Shhhh just go with it

I might.

He said, looking at our pouch, obviously searching for some money.

Minato reaches into his pouch calmly and pulls out 5 kumi. "Now, i'm in a good mood today, so I advise you be grateful for what you get." Minato says as he is walking away toward your home. Minato knocks on your front door and waits for you to come.

I know you are very eager to learn, since you've been waiting for so long, but I need you to calm down and read the situation. Aburame fighting is very circumstantial, you're supposed to understand your environment and master it, to then dominate your opponent. When your arts are weak to everything, you have to rely on more than just the inherent power of your techniques, and that means description, roleplay, and catching every opportunity.

Here, you're still in the continent where the Land of Fire is, you're by the docks. The bartender is a good opportunity to get information, but you should not assume that Panthalassa is there, because he's not. You do not know where he is, so you need to use whatever's at your character's possession to find him.

Minato reluctantly reaches into his pocket and grabs 10 Kumi, giving it to the bartender he askes where Pantha is, while also scanning the room for any one who looks like they would know. Seeing no one, Minato releases 4 bugs that go to each corner of the room and one that sits hidden on the under side of the bar to listen to the bartender while he is gone just in case he lies about his where-a-bouts.

Great thinking with the bug spies! Bug Tip: Most people are disgusted by bugs, many even fearful. Punctuating your actions with some bugs crawling around will make people uncomfortable, and that could help you get what you want out of them. Don't actually let them crawl on people, that might be too much of an invasion. Just let them crawl on your hand as you pick up stuff they give to you, or on your neck as you talk. Uncomfortable people think less.

Yeah well, he's a criminal, right? Or he wouldn't be there.

He said, taking the money and pointing out to the leaderboard flier.

So why don't you try it in that Crimson tavern thing

 

[Cyber]

Minato begins losing his patience with the barkeeper and makes several bugs crawl from under his skin and onto his neck and arms. The bugs sight set dead on the barkeeper and getting ready to absorb his chakra and leave him for dead. "You are beginning to get on my nerves. Unless you want this entire bar to be eaten by my insects, including you, i'd suggest telling me his exact location." The bugs begin crawling toward the barkeeper while Minato keeps his expression from changing at all during this entire conversation. His expression is plain, almost lacking life.

Dude! DUDE! I have no idea who that guy is, I just want you to leave me alone!! Criminal island is that Crimson island thing, just go ask there! I swear man, just trying to make a living here!

 

[Cyber]

Minato calls his bugs back while leaving the 5 spy bugs where he sent them just incase the barkeeper was lying. He leaves with a map and heads to Crimson Tavern while waiting for his bugs to report their findings if any.

 

[Panthalassa]

You go to the docks to find some boat, there are several laying around but, to your eyes, only one would survive the trip. There's a slimy old man pulling the ropes on it's deck.

 

[Cyber]

Minato walks up to the old man and askes if he can take him to Crimson Tavern and hands the man his map.

 

[Panthalassa]

Ain't go no time to go to that criminal island! What business do you have there, young'n?

 

[Cyber]

Minato listens to the mans words and notices he is reluctant to take him to the Island. Seeing that the man will not be persuaded by fear, he uses kindness to try to change the mans mind. "Sir, I've come a very long way from Konohagakure. I am a member of the Aburame clan and can not find a single sensei in my own village. So I have come searching for a man by the name of 'The Admiral' or Panthalassa Aburame. I have heard legends and read about him in many scrolls. He is the best Aburame clan member in recent history and he is my last chance to learn my clans techniques. Please sir, help me to continue my clans traditions and learn the ways of the insect."

Well, he had to give it to the kid, he was heart-touching. He didn't knew much about the Aburame himself, just a bunch of creeps with bugs on their body... well... that was it. He didn't knew anything else about them...
He stopped doing his rope work and looked the kid in the eye.

And you're on of these Aburame fellas, are you? What is it with you, having all these bugs on your body?

 

[Cyber]

The man seemed touched by Minato's words. "Well, the bugs help us in battle. They can spy, track, even fight for us. They can eat chakra and render the opponent nearly dead by doing so. Our payment is allowing them to live in our bodies as a hive of sorts. They eventually became like family to us Aburame."

That's nasty man! How long have you been like that?!

Well the clan has been this way since the warring states period. I was offered as a host the day I was born and since then, i've had these insects inside of me working as my minions. In a way, it's gross. But they have tracking abilities that are almost as great as the Hyuga's Byakugan or the Inuzuka's nose!

Ah... my great great grandfather was an Inuzuka, I almost certain! Okay, young'n, I'mma get you to your bug guy! Hold the ropes, I'll see if the stock is cool to go.

And he turned around, walking into the cabinet.
