Quote:Hardly surprising. The man's, what, seventy-plus? Thinking about it, I'm actually kind of surprised that they didn't go draft Tsunade when Yondaime died...
Even if Sarutobi-sama lives, he'll be too injured and take too long to recover to continue as Hokage, so the Tsunade search will still happen.
Quote:Well, not that exciting if you don't see anything interesting about playing chess. ^_^ Honestly that's why I'd pair her with Shika instead of Ino - firepower and tough bitch attitude aside, she's nearly as much of a thinker, a strategist, as he is.
Temari/Shikamaru isn't all that exciting and I wouldn't want to just transcribe it even if it was
Of course, my real favorite option is based on a certain piece of fanart that's floating around, but that's neither here nor there at the moment.
Quote:'Beetle hunting'? Looking for Kabuto, you mean? Well, with Serenity finished and him likely among the ninja that've thus been freed up to take off for the more active parts of the battle, he'd be the logical choice - even if describing K as having a twisty mind is like saying a snake walks funny, he'd still be the best qualified to try and guess where he'd go next...
Back at the stadium, Neshan has gone beetle-hunting
It occurs to me that a truly high-level medi-nin might know a jutsu that'd let him replicate Akadou Yoroi's chakra draining trick - possibly at much greater speed. Even without that, though, this Neshan won't have as much information to work from as the other did, and won't be as dangerous... and most chuunin have a major endurance advantage over him, let alone Kabuto and after pulling off a major seal to boot - seals might be more efficient, but not that much so.
Hm. So now I need to cook up a major fight scene for them...

Nathan, are you loving this yet?
Quote:*leans forward* Tell me more...
How about when I tell you that the genjutsu Rikou tried to use on Hinata in the prelims had lingering effects even after being dispelled?
Ja, -n
