Based on a roleplaying game conducted by a friend of mine by the name of Rafael dos Anjos(AKA, GM or simply master) and played by Hugo Damas, Mário Abreu, Carlos Monteiro, Fred Freitas e Fábio Fontes.
What do I mean by that? The story you are about to read is based on a roleplaying game that me and my friends currently play, Rafael adapted a story from the series Naruto where several more characters exist, including two new very powerful Jonin level senseis. I will be leaving you commentaries to certain funny trivia they will be marked as such: # (hopefully funny) trivia comment#
All plots and secondary characters were thought out by Rafael, all actions and dialogues of the respective characters are responsibility of their players. Obviously it's based on the Naruto world so everything else is due credit to its respective creator:
The family Naokiren is made up by Hugo Damas in league with the GM's ideas(ps. Way before Yamato ever showed up):
Kurokawa(made up name) Tatsuya – Mario
Naokiren Katsuo – Me.
Hyuga Kinzoku – Fred.
Raijin - Fontes.
Hyuga Katashi – Carlos.

Chapter 4 – The Road to Konoha 1
"Did you see which direction that asshole took?" Tatsuya asked.
"It doesn't matter." Katashi stated. "He could be tricking us."
"We need to find our own way there. C'mon guys, think of something."
They thus visualized Konoha in their heads; the first thing Katashi thought of was the hot springs, ah the moments he spent there trying to get a glimpse of certain chunnins…
"The river!" Katashi suddenly remembered. "The river that passes by Konoha. We just need to find a river and follow it upstream."
"Nice Katashi! Clever." Katsuo complemented, Katashi smiled proudly.
And they say perverted thoughts never help… keke.
"I'll try and find it." Tatsuya crouched and put his hand on the puddle, closed his eyes and concentrated deeply; ten very long minute afterwards, he opened them and pointed to their left.
"20 meters off the tree line." Both Katsuo and Katashi slipped on the ground and fell on their buts.
"10 minutes to figure that out?" Katsuo complained, in a low tone.
"Says the leaf boy that can't track his OWN trail, through the woods…" Katsuo looked down, embarrassed. "Emphasis on WOODS!"
"Let's just go." Katsuo changed subject, walking away.
"Things are so much simpler when you're fighting." Katashi commented, following Katsuo. "None of this special powers crap, not much thinking. Just find an opening and beat your opponent to a pulp."
"Figures a taijutso based nin would say something like that." Tatsuya replied, offended, following them. "Thinking IS the way to win a fight. A good strategy will overpower any numerical or power-based advantage."
"Spare me."
"Yeah? Wanna fight next to a river then?" Tatsuya challenged. "C'mon, I'll show you what happens when a taijutsu based nin faces a long range ninja next to his element!"
"Long range scaredy cat is more like it." Katashi mocked. "If you fight like a man, I'll beat you to a pulp."
"You are so asking for it…"
"Guys, I don't think it's a good idea to fight…"
"SHUT UP!" They both ordered in chorus. "God damn, you're annoying."
Katsuo sulked and remained quiet the rest of the way; soon they reached the river.
"We go right then." Katashi said and stepped right.
"Maybe we should wait?" Katsuo proposed. Katashi looked at him ready to argue but Tatsuya surprisingly agreed.
"Yeah, it's getting night and we do need the rest. We may run into trouble, it'll be a problem if we're not fit."
"What kinda trouble will there be for three Genins?" Katashi asked, confident.
"Chunnins?" Tatsuya pointed out. "Deserters or something, look whatever. You wanna go? Go. I'm going to form a trap on the other side of the river. You guys make a fire so we can have some dinner."
Katsuo didn't reply, simply moved to gather some wood. Katashi grunted, annoyed.
"Buncha pussies' what you…"
"Yeah yeah, tell it to who cares mr. "PLEASE SAVE ME, I'm a GIRL!"" Tatsuya flipped him the finger and jumped to the other margin. Katashi noted a kill order and went searching for food.
Tatsuya mounted a tent where he put a bunch of his kunais connected by wire ready to plunge at an invader, very elaborated, very difficult and complex to do but he succeeded. He left a bushin of his sleeping inside the tent and jumped back to their margin. There, he noticed Katsuo was apparently cooking plants.
"What're you doing?" He asked, in disbelief.
"Cooking dinner." Katsuo timidly replied, crushing some vegetable over some leafs.
"…you are so freakin' weird. I'm going to catch us some fish, Katashi." Tatsuya let him know, heading back towards the river. He easily caught two and that was dinner for them, a very silent uncomfortable dinner.
"I think I'll improve our protection." Katsuo said out loud, after dinner.
"What do you mean?" Katashi asked.
"I think I'll dig some holes, just in case."
"Pfah! Fine, go dig some holes." Tatsuya agreed and Katsuo promptly stepped away, having finished his vegetarian meal. He put some distance between their location and, with great effort and care, dug four holes around their position. It took him about two hours to get it done; he returned a little exhausted and both Tatsuya and Katashi had already made camp, having readied the grass and bushes to work as decent enough beds.
"We'll stay up in watches." Tatsuya let Katsuo know of their, apparently, made decision. "You're first, Katsuo."
"What? Why?"
"You're leaf boy, you're supposed to be good with the forest and stuff, right?" Tatsuya made up.
"That has nothing to…" Katsuo tried to explain but Katashi interjected with a sly smile:
"Don't waste time, just go. We trust you."
"Okay…I'll try…"
He jumped up, grabbed a branch, flipped and jumped higher up setting down on a tree branch directly above their camp. He sat down and paid attention to his surroundings. Snickering, the two tired Genins lay down to sleep and rest. Katsuo nibbled on a snack now two hours cold, feeling tired and weak.
Silence hit them. Despite the noise of the trees dancing to the movement of the wind, of owls and other night creatures which sounded ever so rarely, the night is quiet and serene, relaxing. Sure enough, not before long, Katsuo fell asleep.
The three sleeping Genins failed to hear a muffled "ow!" coming from somewhere, from a man who had fell in a trap. But, fortunately, Katsuo did not fail to notice the sound of a fully bodied human leaping towards him, through branches full of leafs. He opened his eyes bothered by the noise to see a man seconds from making contact with him, kunai in hand.
Katsuo rolled to the right, hanging down from the branch and the enemy flew above, having missed his target by inches.
"ENEMY!!" Katsuo screamed, lifting himself up the branch around the other way.
The enemy had landed against a tree main branch and was now jumping back at him. Katsuo jumped towards him, kunai in hand.
TSINK! Katsuo dropped his kunai, due to the lack of a firm grip but landed untouched on a tree branch. He turned around and looked at his enemy.
Meanwhile, below, Tatsuya and Katashi got up as fast as they could and met enemies on both ends. They all stopped, momentarily, to examine each other. Katsuo noticed then that a fourth one landing on a branch to his right, on a different tree. He looked at him, then at his foe in the left, thinking hard of a plan of attack.
Katashi positioned himself in a Hyuuga normal fighting stance and stood in wait, smirking confident, as ever. Tatsuya drew a kunai with his left hand and brought it slowly, very slowly, around his left side, preparing an attack; his right hand in front of him, opened palm in preparation for one hand seals.
They breathe in, they all have a plan they all strike.
Katsuo ended up opting for a contingency plan. They both jumped at him; he threw his left arm to the side, launching three shurikens at him whilst drawing another kunai that clashed against the right one's attack. He stepped on Katsuo's branch whilst he pushed the kunai, opening a strike zone. When he was about to slash back at the opening, he heard steps behind him and thus jumped to the side noticing, with a glance, that a log lied in the air, having been struck by his three shurikens.
Kawarimi?
Below, Tatsuya formed three clones whilst throwing his kunai at the enemy. Katashi ducks slightly, avoiding the enemy's attack, and sinks two strikes on his stomach; he stood up and slashed his hand at the enemy's neck but he blocked it, difficultly.
In the mean time, the other enemy, having dodged the kunai by spinning to the side, saw two Tatsuyas coming at him from three sides. He jumped back and, as he landed, he noticed a sneak attack he was unable to avoid; Katsuo, who had jumped down, caught him by surprise and landed on his face; smashing his head against the ground, he jumped off it with a flip as shurikens intended for him hit the downed foe.
Katashi, in the mean time, kicked his foe's knee then threw a left thrust which connected with his shoulder; overwhelmed, he started taking too much damage, until Katashi had him on the ground and, with a violent strike with the palm of his hand, laid him unconscious. He turned around to see the other two land between Katsuo and two Tatsuyas. Katsuo drew a kunai and readied an attack, the Tatsuyas did the same. They charged them.
They were back to back, each turned to Katsuo and Tatsuya. The one turned towards Tatsuya threw 6 shurikens whilst the other just jumped at Katsuo. The shurikens discovered both Tatsuyas were clones while Katsuo dodged a punch and received a kick in the guts, followed by a punch to the face that threw him off against a tree.
Tatsuya showed up above the second one, throwing a kunai. The man performed a visible kawarimi and showed up behind Tatsuya, holding a kunai to stab him in the back. But, before he could that, Katashi had jumped and was now behind him, about to connect a kick to the face. Katashi kicked him against a tree and landed, with Tatsuya.
They both attacked the last one who turned to them to fight. He dodged a kunai thrust from Tatsuya whilst using his right hand to push Katashi's right thrust to the left. He ducked to hit their legs with a rotation kick, Tatsuya's caught but Katashi managed to jump. He leant forward and stroke right, hitting him in the back neck just as two shurikens hit his belly, thrown by Katsuo.
"Look out!" Katsuo shouted.
Katashi landed, grabbed Tatsuya and jumped back as about 20 shurikens hit the ground around the two downed enemies. The enemy Katashi had kicked landed, grabbed both of them and jumped out. Katashi leapt at the still conscious one but he performed a kawarimi, showed up next to the one he had previously rendered unconscious, and jumped away.
And thus they fled.
"Yeah, you better run!" Tatsuya shouted, as Katsuo joined them, massaging his cheek.
"Who were they?" He asked, confused.
"Who knows? Bandits maybe." Katashi thought.
"I think they're proof we better move out." Tatsuya pointed out. "Time to start following the river upstream."
"Right…it's a pity about your trap though." Katsuo told Tatsuya.
"Shut up." Tatsuya replied, angrily disappointed about it.
They gathered their things actually finding some of the weapons they threw during the battle, including the 20 shurikens spent by the enemy. They decided to follow the river immediately and rest later.
"So I'm thinking, we're in the forest right?" Tatsuya mentioned. "How about we henge into some animals? We're calling too much attention to ourselves"
"Good idea." Katashi's forced to admit. "Let's do wolves."
"Wolves are hunted. Let's do rabbits." Katsuo proposed, like it made sense.
"Rabbits are eaten by wolves and commonly hunted. I propose fish."
"No." Katashi said. "We don't swim like they do, it'll be weird."
"Fine then, not fish…hum…" They all thought and considered what to do as they walked, cautious and slowly, aware of their surroundings.
"Squirrels." Tatsuya said. "How 'bout squirrels?"
"Can't think of anything better. Fine." Katashi concurred.
"Ok." Katsuo agreed, yawning.
"Let's do it. Henge!"
Katsuo and Katashi shouted henge at the same time and transformed into squirrels, as did Tatsuya; a successful henge followed a fast dash along the river.
They ran until they were too tired, at which point they stopped to make camp, yet again. This time, it was simply drop and sleep, and hope that if someone showed up they would hear it. They slept in tree branches, without canceling the henge. #the luck dice we rolled to sleep unbothered…like, one for every 2 hours. #
