[X] Huff in annoyance at his obvious ploy. "Fine, you bastard. Don't you dare think I don't know what your game is, but I'm biting. On my own terms. I give you some badass combat ninjustu and you teach me medical stuff. AND you take me out to dinner. You're paying."


I am entertained.

Jokes on you, Kabuto: Chūnin Exams do happen in Wartime! CX

*points to Exhibit A: Kakashi became a Chūnin while the Third World Shinobi War was raging*
*points to Exhibits B & C: Rin & Obito did the same sometime next year, probably at different Exams*

Anyways 'Yakushi' is definitely with Orochimaru at this point, but considering all the factors?

I'll take that bet; let's see where this path takes us...

I think should we go pretending that we are a passive-aggressive precocious ingenue with a Crush.

To disguise our motivation of recruiting Kabuto as our agent/pawn.

We have nothing to earn his loyalty or protection, but if he think's that he has us under control, then we can turn him.

 

Preventing the children from dying to your bite-back is part of a properly honed ability to not kill children!

Ergo, medical jutsu!

 

[X] Mouth "Help me"

 

[X] Enough is enough. Its time to unionize.

 

Wasn't that a battlefield promotion?

 

There was that whole obito flashback chapter that I mostly take as a delusion bc of how it contradicts previous canon but it seems obito and co went througth a chunin exam, along with konoha ninjas younger that them somehow.

 

[x] Mouth "Help me"

 

I'd assume an Examination, rather than a full exam.
Also, I'd wonder how the hell Obito passed.

But, well, Late Naruto canon...

 

Well we are in a war and need the warm bodies seems like a good enough reason to me! Ah the glorious days then Danzo-sensei was an active shinobi instead of a warm and cuddly ethics teacher.

 

Aside from the fact that Kabuto probably is trying to manipulate Mio here, Mio simply assuming Kabuto is trying to manipulate her without evidence and acting accordingly is both in-character and hilarious, so I'm all for it.

That's a reason to put him on the front lines as a Genin. Chunin are supposed to be capable of leading a team.

 

Capable != Competent

 

But what 'badass combat jutsu' are you going to give? I suppose you can 'teach' the body flicker but he'd rightly say it's not a combat jutsu. Mio doesn't even know the great fireball. Do you really want to give the secrets of creating artificial coils to Kabuto of all people?

 

Really? We're Uchiha, and our personal weirdness is that it's extra-hard for us to turn the sharingan *off*. Scrounging up a few badass combat jutsu can't be *that* hard, can it?

 

For the longest time Miho was ANTI-learning anything at all that would be 'Exemplary of a Typical Uchiha'... that is to say useful Jutsus are a bit on the low end of 'ok I saw it and memorized the motions... but fuck if I care what the chakra behind that is doing'.

 

Oh, I was meaning more that she's just go out and learn a few, like, tonight. Can't be that hard, right?

Yes, OOC I realize that this is a terrible plan... but it's a very MIO plan.

 

Technically, Mio at the very least has the Shunshin, which isn't something Genin are expected to know.

 

Technically Obito didn't in the first one I referenced — specifically he lost to Guy early on in the "Third Test", only for Kakashi to beat Guy in the finals and became a Chūnin; Obito and Rin each reach Chūnin later.

It was a full Exam considering we see combat in the Forest of Death between Konoha Genin (as opposed to peacetime where other nations would be invited) as well as the effective tournament taking place where the "prelim fights" did with Naruto's group, but considering that whole flashback chapter was a big point of canon dissonance in a lot of places *cough* Anko/Hayate participating at the age of 3 *cough* I can't fault folks for not keeping it straight, though "battlefield promotion" was never a canon statement IIRC so I don't know what to tell you there...

 

going from how Kabuto's problem is stated it isn't not knowing combat Jutsu but not knowing how to 'fight' aka sparing lessons to show him his weakness in fighting form which we can help with using the sharrgain to point them out to him.

 

Teach Kabuto some fire jutsu Maybe? Remember kids, we learn a hell of a lot faster than Kabul should be able to.

 

I guess this is how Tp!Kabuto's start of darkness happens, it was to get away from the Mighty Mao,

 

[X] Go out the bathroom window, using false coils and shunshin. A glorious golden streak across the rooftops.

Overly dramatic exit? Yes.
