"That'd be a no."

He drags a hand down his face.

"Suggestions on acquiring a boat?" He's honestly leaning 'take headbands off and hire a ride' but the others might have ideas he hasn't thought of, so. "Or convincing the turtle to put us somewhere on the mainland, I suppose."

Permalink

"I do not think it will be coming back," Chihiro says.

Permalink

He nods. "I don't think so, either."

Permalink

"Uh, problems with just disguising ourselves and hiring a boat?" Naruto asks. "I'm pretty good at bluffing, so."

Permalink

"Hidden Mist is quite unstable. If we meet local shinobi, things could get complicated."

Permalink

"There'll be areas where they're less present, but those regions might be less likely to have a boat for hire, and might be hard to identify."

Permalink

"Disguises seem like the best option," Neji says. "And hope we don't meet any sensor-types."

Permalink

He nods. "Does everyone have enough chakra to maintain a disguise the entire time?"

Permalink

Chihiro and Neji nod.

Then he disguises himself as, well, his older self. It feels more natural, at least, and if you're not familiar with wizards he looks very unthreatening like this.

Permalink

Naruto's going to be Aji again!

Permalink

Chihiro takes a slightly older appearance, and Neji turns blond.

Permalink

They can establish a backstory as they make their cautious way towards any fishing villages or similar, then.

Permalink

Does he have a sketch of one in mind?

Permalink

Not really. They should possibly try for 'related,' at least of some of them, but he doesn't know enough about the local area for something plausible, and is bad at infiltration - he's actually of the opinion Naruto should do any talking, being capable of lying, well, at all.

That seems reasonable.

Sasuke kind of honestly has major dad energy but it might be easier to go for some kind of siblings... They should also be honest about not being from here, their accents super don't match the Land of Water people she's run into. (She can do an accent but will probably then end up sounding like a local merchant or shinobi.) Fishermen who got lost, possibly blown off course by a shinobi battle since that kind of happened and there haven't been any storms lately to explain getting this lost otherwise, their boat's wrecked and they need a lift back to somewhere familiar? Then makes sense they don't actually look or behave super related, since everyone on a fishing boat won't be nuclear family. Sasuke can be the oldest, and therefore the one who'd be responsible for everyone else, and possibly posing as her dad since she and him are more familiar with each other? Then Chihiro and Neji are some kind of cousin.

Permalink

Chihiro and Neji can work with that.

Permalink

Neji suggests that the deception might be more believable if Chihiro moved her face occasionally.

Permalink

She attempts a smile.

Permalink

"...That's slightly terrifying. Can you look - very grouchy and put upon, maybe? Or, just, keep staring just above people's eye levels and look very bored."

Permalink

"Is this better?"

Permalink

"Yeah! You look very annoyed at everything."

Permalink

So now to the town?
