Hidan is new and improved this go-around. If I were playing, I'd want to be him

Chapter 1: Konoha's Captain (Flashback)

The skilled Jounin-Class ninja from Konoha, Asuma, led his team of four on a perilous mission in search of a pair of Akatsuki members rumored to have been seen near the Fire Temple. Reports said that they had killed the head-Priest Chiriku, a powerful ninja-monk and Asuma's best friend. The reports also said that Chiriku's body was nowhere to be found in the wreckage of the Temple. Akatsuki was probably going to sell it. A great ninja's body is worth quite a lot to the right people. There are all sorts of techniques and abilities one could get from it if they knew how. Asuma gritted his teeth thinking of Chiriku's corpse being dragged along almost in front of him as he led his team through the forest. His team was comprised of Konoha's greatest genius and Asuma's best student, Shikamaru, as well as two other excellent Chounin-ranked ninja, Genma and Kotetsu. A strong team for a strong opponent. Shikamaru noticed his Captain was acting odd though. It was not like him to be this serious and he hadn't even touched a cigarette since they heard the news of Chiriku.

Shikamaru: Is everything alright Asuma-sensei? We can't afford any mistakes against these guys. They're too powerful. These Akatsuki guys have rediculous abilities.

Asuma: Haha! Forget about me. Remember, these are the guys who killed Chiriku. Having lived so long myself, I've seen many friends leave this Earth. Keep all your thoughts on their weaknesses and our Team's safety.

The group of four continued to leap through the forest, until the dense trees began to spread and they could see a clearing up ahead. In the clearing was a rundown building that was supposedly used for Black Market trading. They surely must have brought Chiriku's body to this awful place. They all stopped just shy of the forest boundary and looked through the foliage. There he was! It was the Akatuski member Hidan! He was just sitting outside? His partner must have been inside making the trade. Chiriku was reportedly worth 30 Million. The thought brought a wry smile to Asuma's face because he was actually worth 5 Million more than Chiriku.

Asuma: Shikamaru. You stabilize him with your Shadow Bind technique, and while I distract him, Genma and Kotetsu take him out. Ideally it would nice to capture both of them, but considering how strong the Akatsuki we know are, like Itachi and Kisame, it's in our best interest to kill one and then capture the other.

Their plan was successful! Hidan stood motionless, with the swords of Kotetsu and Genma jammed right through his vital organs. Asuma whispered: "One down.." But then Hidan lifted up his head to look at them all!

Hidan: Ow! Who the Hell are you people?! Do you have any idea how much this hurts?

All the Konoha Shinobi except Shikamaru leaped back in wild amazement. The man who should be dead was merely cracking his neck and rubbing his wounds. Then the building erupted in a violent explosion and Shikamaru had no choice but to join his team. Kakuzu had appeared from within.

Hidan: Don't you dare interfere Kakuzu! Look what they did to me! Ah, tsk. Seriously, this fight is mine! You can have the bounty when I'm done with them. Isn't this Captain guy worth a lot too?

Kakuzu: Fine. I'll make sure these three don't interfere. Just don't take forever like usual.

Hidan shrugged his shoulders in defiance. "Whatever. You've said it now, this guy is mine!" Asuma readied his Wind blades and took Hidan on. Hidan kept the area wide with his three-pronged whip-sword. Asuma's team was stuck. On one hand hand it was lucky the second Akatsuki member hadn't joined the fight, but on the other, they couldn't help Asuma. The battle was fierce, but each continued to dodge the other's attacks until finally Hidan's blade grazed Asuma's cheek. "That's all I need." Hidan said as he quickly drew some sort of Religious symbol on the ground in his own blood.

Asuma readied a fierce Fire Technique and as Hidan walked into the symbol the blast hit him with full force. Something was wrong though. Asuma looked down at his own body and he was burned where Hidan should have been! He looked up at his opponent and saw that Hidan's body had completely changed in appearance. He had taken some damage the damage too, but it barely fazed him. "He must be used to pain if this is his technique!" Asuma thought. Hidan let out a maniacal laugh.

Asuma cringed in pain and dropped one of his blades. The words of Hidan echoed through his head.

Hidan rose from his shielded position. "There is no escape from it. This is over."

Shikamaru's eyes widened. He was a quick learner, but there was nothing he could do. This technique was too powerful. Hidan was able to link their bodies so whatever damage he takes is done right back to the person who attacks him? And he's immortal? So what then?... He couldn't think of a plan fast enough. His Captain, his Master, his friend was dying right before his eyes and he couldn't do anything about it. Kakuzu just stood in their way as Hidan readied his spear.

Hidan: Time after time I get to experience the feeling of someone dying. And to live through it is pure ecstasy. And a tough one like you? This is going to be great! AhahHAHAAhahahhahaa!

Hidan lowered his hand and lifted the spear. Asuma's team moved to help, but Kakuzu restrained them all with ease. They had no choice but to watch. Asuma stared Hidan right in the eyes knowing that this was his end. At the hands of this madman. If only he could think of a way to save his team from the same fate. But time was running short. And then Hidan plunged the spear right through himself!

The two opponents remained frozen in place like statues. One in exhilaration, one in agony. There was a silence so deadening that it was more like a vacuum that sucked in all the sound around it. The two just stared at each other. Then, slowly, Asuma fell to the ground. Hidan looked up at the sky as if on a high. These were the moments he lived for: the ones others died for.

Shikamaru broke loose and ran toward his comrade. "Asuuuuummmaaaaaa!" But is was too late. Now Hidan's attention was directed at him and he froze. Then oddly, both Akatsuki members retreated. "Are they communicating with someone?" Shikamaru quickly thought.

Hidan: Now?! This is seriously the best part!

Akatsuki's Leader: Now...

Kakuzu: Let's go Hidan. (He turned to Shikamaru)...Remember us. We'll be back.

Shikamaru: I'll remember you! You're going to die for this!

Hidan: As if you could pull it off... Ugh! I'm going to Curse that Leader of ours one day for ordering us around all the time!

Kakuzu: Careful with your words Hidan. Let's go.

With that, the two disappeared in a cloud of smoke. Shikamaru's heart was shattered. It all happened so fast. His friend and mentor was murdered. Anger filled him. Genma and Kotetsu gathered up Asuma to bring him back to village to be buried.

Shikamaru: Asuma... I'll avenge you.

Shikamaru remembered that this was all about money really. So they'd definitely be back for Asuma's body. And he'd be ready.

Shikamaru's Team gets 50 extra Stat Points

Hidan and Kakuzu get 50 extra Stat Points

Wait...What just happened?

[itachi-san]

Wait...What just happened?

That was the example of a clue post I was talking about. It's a post I made that will give at least some insight into each team's individual Win Condition. The Win Conditions will never be known (until the game is over) so people can use these posts as clues as to what other teams may be trying to achieve. There will be more to come (probably during the Day posts). They all take place prior to this game. I'll make that clear when they are written by adding (Flashback) to their titles.

Mentioning in these posts will give the teams extra stat points. I wanted to start the game out with 2 teams getting a slightly larger initial stat figure. So now Hidan and Kakuzu will have 450 points to spread around and Shikamaru's Team (3 people) will have 650 points to spread around. Every other team will start out with 200 points per person. This will put a slight damper on any thoughts of instant kills, by using the Secret Attacks.

I'll post all the character info tomorrow. I just felt like writing something basically, so I posted this today instead of tomorrow 13 people is actually pretty sweet now that I think about it, so the final roster is:

Hokage: Tsunade

1) Prince Marth

2) Joe's Student

3) Kat

4) Prof. Templeton

5) FIF

6) Brandonb

7) ST

8) dawh

9) Frost

10) SomeGuy

11) woon

12) LIS

13) Sinistral

Reserve:

1) Sparanda

If anyone missed out, feel free to sign-up as a reserve, but I don't feel like rushing this game, so nobody should feel they don't have time. Please, take your time, I'm in no rush. It's going to play out very much like a war of attrition, so the fewer people the easier on me hosting actually I'll PM roles tomorrow too. And the Night can start then, but nothing will be expected until Sunday or Monday or Tuesday even. It will be a good couple of days to work out the best time schedule for your teams to discuss with BTSC.

[Guest]

It will be a good couple of days to work out the best time schedule for your teams to discuss with BTSC.

Am wondering about random roles ???

note i am likely to have read and digest time 'till between 10pm - 12 pm (GMT+1)- need to be off soon after, so final PM will be 12:01 then zzz

[itachi-san]

Mekal wants in but I would preferably need someone else to step up too. Right now the Roster is at 13, but it would have to be 15 to fit my scheme. Anyone else want to join? Last chance.

It would be easier to have 15, but maybe I can inject a loner character into the mix for 14 people. I'll think about it.

[Guest]

I'll join I suppose. It might be too much for me to be doing Death Note and this at once, but I'll give it a go. I'll fill the last spot. Like I said, if you need that last person, I'm your guy

[Mekal]

If it is too much troble i can miss it... I don't want the game to be held up for me...

[itachi-san]

If it is too much troble i can miss it... I don't want the game to be held up for me...

No worries now! I'll be playing Death Note as well, Sparanda Thanks for joining officially though.

Itachi and Kisame - Win Condition = ???

Naruto - Naruto is the self-proclaimed "World's Greatest Ninja" ...and he might be right. He always overcomes what seem to insurmountable odds and has the uncanny ability to make even the most vile ninja rethink their actions. His one and only failure was not being strong enough to save Sasuke from himself and he let him fall into Orochimaru's hands. Naruto will stop at nothing to become strong enough to bring his best friend back to Konoha.

Secret Tactic - Protect - Naruto will take half damage from Rescuers to Protect one person his team has Captured.

Attack - 25-50 = Shadow Clones, 75 = Summoning, 100 = Rasengan

Counter-Attack - ???

Sakura - Sakura was devastated when Sasuke left her and their village in pursuit of power with Orochimaru. Her heart was broken, but she turned her grief into production and became Tsunade's medical protegé. She, like Naruto, will stop at nothing to get Sasuke back from Orochimaru's evil clutches.

Secret Tactic - Rescue - can be used only on those who have been Captured. They will be freed and brought back to life essentially, with 100 new stat points. the other 100 damage will be done to the one who Captured them.

Attack - 25-50 = Powerful Taijutsu, 75-100 = Genjutsu

Counter-Attack - ???

---

Defenses: may be used infinitely, but cost 100 points per use. They are completely unbreakable. They have no added bonuses or detriments

Akatsuki may use Clones or Smoke Bombs

Orochimaru's Group may use Substitutions or Traps

Team 10 may use Traps or Smoke Bombs

Team 7 may use Clones or Substitutions

---

Counter-Attacks: happen whenever someone is successfully Attacked. Some characters have extra secrets up their sleeves that are also unknown There are no Counter-Attacks when Defended or when Tactics are used. And of course, you do not counter-attack someone healing you.

Special Abilities and Secret Tactics: cannot be used two Nights in a row. And to reiterate: Secret Tactics can only be used if a Character has 100 in both Special Ability and Counter-Attack.

Capture: If a character has the ability to be Captured they are essentially never truly Dead, because they can be possibly Rescued and brought back to life. So, if you are one of those characters, don't count yourself out if you get Captured. A Capture will be noted in the Night Post and marked on the Roster. Also, it is not necessary for a person to have 0 health to be Captured, assuming the 200 Damage does not take them down to zero. They will retain any kept life if Rescued in addition to the 100 new stat points.

---

The Battle Royale begins now! I'll pm roles, win conditions and secrets soon. I'll be around for a while, but then I'll be away until Sunday. I guess we could aim for Monday to get all the pms in to me. I'll need your Team's stat configurations and your Night 1 Actions. Good Luck!

Chapter 1 (flashback)

[Guest]

And it begins...<_< Ok, sounds pretty straight forward, can't wait to begin

<(^-^)>

[itachi-san]

Clarification on Stat Points:

The order is Special Ability, Attack, Counter-Attack

So an example of someone with 200 health could be: 75, 25, 100 (This person would need 25 more stat points in Special Ability to be able to use their Secret Tactic).

Also, I added a couple lines to the Characters Post about Tactics and Abilities and Captures. They were some FAQs.

Umm...I'm sorry if I'm being really slow, but do we get to decide how many stat points are for each kind of attack, or is it calculated or given by Itachi?

[Guest]

If I recall, I believe it's that you and your BTSC group decide how to split all of your team's points.

Edited November 15, 2008 by Sparanda

[itachi-san]

Umm...I'm sorry if I'm being really slow, but do we get to decide how many stat points are for each kind of attack, or is it calculated or given by Itachi?

Your team gets to allocate however many stat points I assigned you in the Character PM I sent today. You can put them wherever you want.

Edit: Also, I updated Special Abilities for Deidara, Sasori, and Hidan. I had left some parts out and had made them not so special. But now they're special

[itachi-san]

OK I'll be around from here on out. I haven't received any final decisions on anything yet - not that it's required until tomorrow. I'm just keeping you all in the progress-loop which right now is 0. Hopefully, I've answered all questions sufficiently. If not, feel free to ask away.

Edit: Just giving a time-frame reference. Try for 24 hours from this post to get your team's stats and Night 1 actions in to me. Thanks!

[itachi-san]

Just being crystal clear about Stats due to some recent pms:

They are Special Ability, Attack, Counter-Attack (0,0,0)

Secret Tactic is NOT part of the stats. Tactic is achieved when you have maxed both Special Ability and Counter-Attack to 100.

[itachi-san]

Another good Question came in about Capturing. The only way to stop a Capture is with a Defense. The only way to stop a Rescue is with a Protect. In light of this answer I will give the Akatsuki the ability to Protect as well. And like I said, if a teammate dies or is Captured, then their Tactics will transfer to a living/useful teammate unless the original player is Rescued and returns to the game.

[itachi-san]

Another round of Q & A: Counter-Attacks are done whenever there is damage done. So if you are Attacked while Defending, you do not counter that. Also, if you are healed, you do not counter your healer (don't bite the hand that feeds )

Added: Counter-Attacks also do not occur against Tactics.

As for progress, I've gotten several teams' finalized stats, but remember that I also need your First Night's Actions. I have none of those yet.

[itachi-san]

Since it hasn't come into play yet (since we haven't started ), I'm going to alter the Healing roles. They will Heal for double their stat. Meaning if Kakuzu, Kabuto, Ino or Sakura have 75 for instance for their Special Ability stat, they will heal their target by 150 stat points that Night, but only if their target is Attacked. And I don't see why those 150 points cannot be rearranged by the target as well, since they effectively did lose points and then gain points.

Edit: I also re-worded Hidan's Special Ability. I just realized there was a bit of confusion (my fault in writing it strangely). Hidan doesn't control his victim's Night actions, he just nullifies them. So he can't make someone attack someone else for instance. I also gave his special ability double damage. Sorry Hidan... I hope the double damage makes up for the misunderstanding

[itachi-san]

One last thing (hopefully ). There are multiple characters with the ability to control the actions of others, so I'm going to go with the Naruto Story and this will be the order or priority:

1) Sharingan Users: if Itachi and Sasuke it will be a 50/50 chance for either.

2) Hidan and Shikamaru (if both then a 50/50 chance for either)

3) Ino

Also, the Night pms must be in by 7 hours from this post. I've gotten tons of progress and completed Nights from almost everyone presently. So thanks, and we'll get this started tonight!

Edit: added in Shikamaru

[itachi-san]

2 1/2 Hours to get all finalized Night Actions in.
