Genin Graduation Exam Event

Lol, your team thread is open for like a week and not a single post in it

Ryo could always get wasted like any sane person would do in a situation like this. The Nomaru solution is always the best solution.

Team 3 is being the #1 active team here!
GO TEAM 3! =D
Let's just not mention we aren't actually doing anything productive guys...

WE ARE doing productive stuff. We are getting to know each other. That's productive in my opinion. I mean: Nomaru doesn't think Hachiko is a TOTAL loser anymore. :p

Ryochoku loves being alone so he's out of the thread seeing that thread is mostly for teammates to interact within. He just walk out of the room like a boss after the initial meeting so no bonding to do and I ain't breaking character just to interact more with that other players.

He might, but he's going to get drunk alone so there's no need to post it out as there's no interaction value in that. And there's no place for me to post the sort of "single PC diary" type post anyway. For a short summary of the day: Ryo celebrates a little with his sister -> go back to the Tenshu compound, -> get congratulated by a few and insulted by many -> shrugs -> go to sleep -> Chapter 6

You're right! Yaaaaaaay!

We should make a thread just for Ryo, haha. ''Ryochoku hanging out''

School goes first. Good luck with your exams if you see this Mana!!

Yeah, good luck with the exam and hopefully the exam will be done as we moves on to chapter 6. That will be perfect timing and schedule.

Just thought of 2 things I hadn't really thought of before concerning this story:

1. Do we have modern technology in this story? Things such as phones and computers for example. The Naruto story doesn't have this, but I thought this one did. 

2. What happens when someone is on a vacation? I'll be going on a vacation in a month or so myself, and I'm not sure whether I'll have internet available yet. 

Thanks!

1. I asked the admin about this when creating the character so I can see the viability of the vehicle operating and also the computer skill and here's his response:

"Yes and no....we are like uhm...20 years into the future compared to the series right now approximately so the technology level would have naturally gone up.
However the Narutoverse had pretty decent technology, Back at the start of the Naruto series Kishimoto noted that they had about Windows 98 level technology....aside from that we see sky scrapers, laptops, photo cameras, personal computers, battery units, television units, satalite dishes, wireless headset units, camcorders , cars and motorcycles.....the fact that shinobi don't use most of these on their assignments doesn't mean they are not there.
So Yes....the technology level on this site is higher, but this is due to the 20 years into the future thing.....and so No, we have not artificially increased the level of technology.

http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_Technology

Also don't forget those flying machines Sky-shinobi used during one of the movies.....that's a vehicle too ya know"

2. And one month vacation? Darn, you are rich.

1. Thanks Ryochoku! I get it now. I had assumed there were phones and made a mentioning of that in a post once but I'll neglect that now. 
They don't have the military technology we have though, because then they wouldn't even need ninja's!

2. No no no! I'm not going on a vacation for a month long! I'm going on vacation in a month.

This is what the wikia says:

"When commenting on Naruto, Masashi Kishimoto said that he designed Konohagakure
 without specifying an era or location in the real world, noting that the village is "just a place in his head". Without a specific time period, Kishimoto included modern elements in the series such as convenience stores and movies, but specifically excluded projectile weapons and vehicles from the storyline. Regarding technology itself, Kishimoto said that ""Naruto"" would not have any firearms. He said he may include automobiles, aircraft, and "low-processing" computers; Kishimoto specified the computers would "maybe" be eight-bit and that they would "definitely not" be sixteen-bit."

So no firearms whatsoever (thank god). But what I'm wondering; are there cars inside the villages? Personally I would think not. Just not practical (especially in suna) and I think the hidden villages kind of loose the 'hidden' part if there is an asphalt road leading straight towards it.

And I think the villages would loose their identity if they were too modern. I'd like to point out that from the time it was created during Hashirama and Madara's lives until the current canon point in time, Konoha has barely changed, if it has changed at all. And I'm talking about 60+ years gone by. So then why would it suddenly change radically within 20 years?

Don't get me wrong Hatchiko. You're still a loser, just a bit less of a loser. <3


Edit: I was wondering how it is with movies, because I basically put in a movie from "our world" (Hachi: a dogs tale) and basically I don't think it's too much of a problem (since nobody complained and this story could be happening anywhere.) The technology aspect confuses me a little bit to be honest. Maybe write a thread about what kind of electronics we could think of and stuff. I mean; I'm not even familiar with the Naruto universe and I've read the wikia thing but still. Dx

A bit less of a loser speaking: the technology aspect turns out to be rather complicated! Guess we'll just leave it to Admin. He created the game after all!

There's airship but cars don't seem useful when shinobis can run faster than a car anyway. As for the hidden villages part, ignoring hidden village, they can still use cars in other cities all around the countries. But I guess it's better to preserve the feel of more traditional way of traveling by not introducing land vehicles, at least not motorized one. One thing that is rarely covered in the canon Naruto is other cities, heck, I don't even know what Fire Country's Capital is and how it looks like. And there's cannon I guess, kind of 1600s-1700s when it comes to cannon and so forth kind of weaponry. I am watching the sea-faring fillers(I usually stockpile a lot and play catch-up instead of following every week) and the ship is pretty 1600s in design and there's cannons on it, much like a pirate ship.

Also, I doubt firearm can be any useful when one elemental jutsu can bring forth a tsunami to an area. Also, narutoverse ninja will slice them bullet up like a boss anyway. And when the topic of slicing bullet comes up, I should share with you all this video: Clickie here(It's worth your time) and imagine narutoverse shinobi being probably 10x better and bullet ain't no problem.

And there's TV in Narutoverse, they can have their own Hachi there. xD

Ryochoku, that video on youtube is AWESOME! 

That vid is indeed awesome. I don't get a word of what they're saying though, but that woman is way too funny. xD

Can I remind people that thw orld isn't populated only by shinobi, there are things like civilians, who also need places to live, like cities? Honestly, who do you think hire us? other shinobi? that would be silly

You just get the shinobi only perspective from watching Naruto, haha! But it's indeed something to remember. 

Good thinking work Ryochoku! And I'll watch that video too, I'm curious!

Who do you think would win in an all out battle between humans and ninja's (in same numbers). Humans can use all their technology. 

Even though a single shinobi is far stronger than a single human, collectively I think humans would win because of weapons of mass destruction like the atom bomb.
But imagen we don't have the atom bomb. Who'd win?? I mean, ninja's are strong but don't underestimate human technology.

We rarely see the cities in canon Naruto thanks to the village rules of "if you are a shinobi, you can't go out of village without permission" or something like that...unless you are the Sannin I guess.

One thing I have always wonder about is the civilians living in the hidden village. Are they chosen by the feudal lord or something or there's a "license thing"? After all, it would be stupid to give everyone access to the hidden village since it's supposed to be a secret. And they are like easy target for enemy shinobis to locate other hidden villages, just capture them, torture them and get the to spill out the location. Most of them probably ain't too tough since they are merely civilians.

I was always under the impression that the civilians living in Konoha can't just walk out either, they need a permit for that. I think most civilians in shinobi villages are there for, well... keeping the village running. Being a ninja (shinobi) is a profession in and of itself. I doubt they'd do 'inferior' and menial jobs (when compared to shinobi life) like working at a bathhouse, selling groceries, cleaning the sewage system, and carpenters and painters, those sort of jobs. And last but not least, civilian traders. 

The only exception I can think of are the Yamanakas who have a flower shop? Well, I consider that more of a hobby, lol.

They don't have time for that either since they have to dedicate their time on shinobi art. Although some D-rank missions do involve menial jobs. And you do provide a good point on civilians there but I think they do need some "imports" of items(I doubt there's everything around the Konoha village for example) so there should be some specially-qualified-and-approved transport company for the transport of goods in and maybe out of the villages but mostly "in".

And my wondering is more on the first batch of civilian to live there when the village is just established, I always assume there's some choosing sequence on that, maybe to select the best of each profession and place them there to provide the best service to the military force. I also wonder what if civilian A wants to be a shinobi but he is living in the normal city, can he "sign up" somewhere and be transported there? So much depth not covered in Narutoverse.

Sometime I hope they make an open world RPG and cover those things. I have a similar picking with Bleach too. The only Earth place they covered is Karakura Town, I always wish they can fight Hollow(or whatever) on some other locations on Earth.

Yes, traders. Like you said, obviously not everything is readily available in a village. For example, I can imagine a village like Suna to be pretty dependent on other villages when it comes to, I don't know, all things that need rain. And rich soil.  So I think traders are pretty important.

Businessman, the required job on any and every world out there. No wonder business classes are always popular...at least in my place, not sure about the others.

And speaking of Suna, I would imagine a shinobi that is not good with anything but Suiton having a tough early stage of his shinobi career there. That dude probably has to carry a "Gaara gourd" with him anywhere he goes.
