I've been re-reading current mission arc, and the exchange between Team Six, Kurenai and Aoba in "Fire in the Mountains" gets really hilarious in hindsight. And now I have to ask: will someone notice that technically Kakashi *was* right about the drunken demons? Also, I hope we will get other people's reaction to that mission report. Thank you all for writing such an amazing story <3
Hah, a very good question. Someone ought to remember that!
(Fire in the Mountains is the beginning of the Tanuki Mission arc)
Character and Writer Asks: Round Two, Now with 100% More Writer Asks
Back at the beginning of 2017 we opened the Ask Box for a week, for Round Two of Character Asks . Shamefully, there are one or two we still haven’t answered, but it’s more than time we put up this Index to the asks we did answer. The New Year is coming, and we’re not making any promises, but maybe start thinking about any new questions you might like to ask the characters or writers? Reading the questions from Round One and the ones here might be a good place to start.
<3 Nezu
Team 6+
Hey team 6, what do you think you'll be doing 10 years from now? Would you still be in ANBU, retired, jounin sensei, most popular underwear model in the country, dead?
For team 6: how much would you give up for Konoha? Is there anything you would not give, and if so, what is it?
For Team 6, Ginta, Kurenai and if anyone else feels like it: What's your favorite jutsu to use? And what's the jutsu you most often?
Team 6, what would you say your specialties are? (Things like taijutsu, weapons, assassination, etc.)
When did each of Team Six first discover their specialties? (Ryouma's has been given slightly, with Iwa.) What did they initially think of them? (I'm thinking Genma's gradual was a conflicting feel-set…
Any ninja who wants - if you could learn any jutsu in the world, which would it be?
Team 6! What's one thing you've always wanted but never quite been able to achieve?
This is a two-part question for the characters: If you weren't a ninja, what job would you have? And if you're injured in such a way that you couldn't continue field missions, would you continue to serve your village as an Academy sensei/Intel agent/medic/etc, or would you retire and pursue your own interests?
For Team Six: what's something comforting you like to do after a bad day?
Everyone: what's the most trivial thing you've used chakra for?
What is the most annoying mission you've been on? (the millionth time you had to catch the cat, that one time you did three weeks of surveillance in a swamp, etc)?
Anyone who wants to answer: The perfect meal? Like a fantasy meal. As much or as little of anything you would like.
Raidou mentioning his culinary prowess has me curious now: how good are our boys at cooking?
I think Team 6 could use a vacation after the missions you've had. So, what would be each of your idea vacations? Assume cost and distance are not issues.
oh. favorite drinkss for the teaam (and writers if they want)! alcohol related mostly but since kakashi isnt that fun he can do a non alcholoic one
Happy New Year! Do our Team 6 boys have any new years resolutions?
Question: does anyone in Team 6 (other than Kakashi) have any experience with babies, and to what extent are they mentally prepared to swim with a baby through shark-infested waters?
For Ryouma, have you asked Kakashi what was in his letter from Katsuko? Did your drawing a place of pride on your wall? All, did you consider writing her a letter to stay in touch?
Okay, fantasy wish fulfillment time. You (hypothetically) have blanket permission to eliminate Kuroda in any way you see fit. Team Six, go!
What do you dislike about each other?
Team 6: What would be each character's theme music, if you had to pick one song?
Everyone in Legacy-verse who wants to answer: what are your feelings on pillow forts and team cuddle parties? (No fraternization, just cuddling)
For team 6: how many goats/livestock do you think your teammates are worth?
Team 6, what do you find physically attractive about each other?
Members of Team 6 who are into this kind of thing: what do you look for in a romantic/sexual partner?
Team Six: please place yourselves in order of how big your dicks are when they're hard, from smallest to largest *RUNS AWAY*
Question to team six members + and maybe Ginta? : (assuming characters know the writers) what do you think of legacy writers?
Genma and Raidou
For Team 6, but mostly Raidou & Genma: Logically, being the captain and lieutenant of an ANBU team is a great honor and responsibility. But with the combination of having two rookies (those two being Still-Learning-Boundaries-san and Antisocial-san) and previously having Katsuko, do you ever feel like you're babysitting? What are some challenges (or amusing moments) that you've faced as team leaders?
Raidou, Genma, I would be interested in your professional and personal opinions on your team as you have been together quite a while now
Raidou
Radiou: did you ever have a chance to see Hisa before she left Konoha?
Writer question: so now that Raidou has taken genjutsu classes, is that going to come up again as a plot point? And is he good enough now at genjutsu to be a full jounin?
Genma
Genma, what seals do you specialize in?
Does Genma still run eros-type missions in this universe? If so, will we be seeing any of that?
Did Genma and Asuma manage to find an apartment yet? Was there a house-warming party?
Hajime, did you ever talk (*cough*gossip) with Genma about his new team? Did you have some advice besides continue being the absolutely awesome person/ lieutenant Genma is anyway? Genma did you ever go to Hajime's to complain (whine)?
Will we get to see the Genma's rats??
Kakashi
Kakashi, have your initial impressions of your team changed, now that you've been with them for a while?
Kakashi, what does your team smell like, to you?
What challenges did you face when adjusting to combat with only one eye? I know you have the Sharingan, but it's covered most of the time.
Kakashi, what fuuinjutsu do you know?
"What Do Your Shoes Say About Your Style?; What Kind Of Sexy Are You?; and Are You A Secret Bitch?" -- SO what were Kakashi's results to these questionnaires if you got em
Does Kakashi have any other books/series that he likes besides Icha Icha?
Kakashi, what are you going to do about your dyed hair after the mission [to Kirigakure] (you know, assuming that you survive, which you should)? Will you try to grow it out? Half-brown, half-grey? ...Shave it all off (eyebrows?!)?
Hey, Kakashi, any helpful hints on how to assassinate an asshole ANBU Vice Commander without anyone finding out? Asking for a friend
DK, I would be interested to hear your thoughts on Grey-A Kakashi now that we have reached this point in the story, plus how you think Kakashi understands himself. This is an aspect of Legacy that I've really loved.
Ryouma
Ryouma: are you still planning to get a tiger for your next tattoo? If you are, where are you planning to get it?
Ryouma: backstage passes to a Shuriken Force concert, or free fancy soap for a year. Which would you choose?
Ryouma why DO you like fancy soap so much?
Ryouma, if you could go on a date with any or all of your team, where would you take them?
Ryouma, since you're somewhat of a connoisseur on the subject, what's the best sex you've ever had? (Can also be a top three kind of thing, if just picking one is too hard)
RYOUMA: Please choose three sexual techniques in your arsenal and rank them in order of proficiency. Thank you.
Question for Ryouma: have you ever used your team as spank bank material? Pls provide details thx
Ki, as Ryouma can't really document his research in the same way as other characters, what kind of techniques does he use instead?
Will we ever see Ryouma's group medic classes? The ones "with genin and chuunin"? (Sure to be a bunch of laughter!) Alternatively, Ryouma, how are they like?
Ginta
Ginta, how cool is being a ninja? Spare no detail.
Have Legacy Genma and Ginta ever hooked up?
Hi Ginta, as an objective outsider, is Team 6 actually the hottest ANBU team currently in active service?
GINTA!!!! Welcome to Legacy! Please rank the members of Team 6 in order of fuckability, and on a scale of 1 to 10, how much would you be into a fivesome with ALL of them?
Ginta, assuming you could have your carnal way with each member of Team Six individually (saving the orgy for later), would you prefer to take or be taken? Details please. (NSFW NC17, click at your own risk)
Ginta: in theory, how would you go about arranging the orgy? (This is assuming everyone is consenting, & maybe not in ANBU, to avoid involvement with someone of a higher/lower rank.) Do you have a time/location set in mind? Would you take everyone out to dinner/drinks first or just go to the designated location and dive in? Do you anticipate awkwardness afterwards; if so, do you have any plans to mitigate it? Would you want it to be a one-time thing, or an annual tradition? Details please. ;)
Note to self: never ask Ginta anything.
How can I refuse an offer of haiku? Ginta, please describe your favourite body part of each member of Team 6 in haiku form. :)
Ginta, do tell about the Team 6 betting pool. Whether it's in haiku or in prose, inquiring minds really wanna know.
Ginta: your thoughts on Kakashi? (Other than sparky-sparky fun. Which was *wonderful* worldbuilding tidbit.) On Ryouma? :3
Usagi or Ginta, or anyone on Team 13, really: I'm very sorry for your loss. Can you tell us a little more about Eizo?
Minato
Minato, what does Kakashi mean to you?
Minato can you tell us something more about Kakashi's mother? Who is she? What is she doing? How is the relationship between Kakashi and his mum?
A question for Minato, are you still planning to meet the whole of Team six and what do you think about them and Kakashi's development now? Also for Naruto, do you talk with Ogata-san a lot about your Nii-san and his team?
Naruto
Naruto, what's it like having Rin as an older sister?
Why is Naruto's last name Uzumaki? Is it part of the Kushina-worship? And what kind of trouble does Naruto get up to at preschool (when he's not skipping to hang out with Kakashi and his dad)?
Kurenai
Kurenai, as future clan-head, what kind of responsibilities do you currently have, and what kind of special training do you take on to prepare you for the future?
A question for Kurenai: did you get a chance to talk with Katsuko before she left? And you seem to have changed your opinion on Kakashi a bit? Do you actually less dislike him a little or is it just because of the mission?
Other Konoha Characters
Kuroda: Honest opinions on the ninja currently under your command for the Kiri mission, go!
So, Vice Commander, what do you do when you're not being a shitweasel? Do you have a social life?
For Yuuichi, Ume + Shun, Sadayo, Minato (and Shibata Tomohiro if he'd like to come play): what do you like most and least about your son? What are your hopes for him?
Will we ever get to meet Kakashi's mom?
There was a mention of Sadayo being of some kind of noble house- what can you tell us about that? Or about her background, for that matter? I won't lie, I'll probably scream when she makes her first proper appearance:D
How much does Sadayo know about the recent events in her son's life? And is Team 6 going to meet her?
Ayane and Hakone, we haven't seen you in a while. How's it going?
Satomi, what did the Hokage tell you about what happened to Obito, and what do you think really happened to him?
Rin, what do you think of Team 6 now that Kakashi's (kind of) settled in?
Hajime, did you ever talk (*cough*gossip) with Genma about his new team? Did you have some advice besides continue being the absolutely awesome person/ lieutenant Genma is anyway? Genma did you ever go to Hajime's to complain (whine)?
Hajime, how's PT going? Are you still suffering through hospital food, or have they finally let you go home?
Usagi, what kind of explosion-tag related things are you working on right now? And also, writers, any head canons about explosion tags/sealing and how that all works?
Usagi or Ginta, or anyone on Team 13, really: I'm very sorry for your loss. Can you tell us a little more about Eizo?
Pakkun, how long have you been with Kakashi? Any fun stories about him when he was younger?)
I noticed that Asuma is now a retired character as well as Katusko and Rin. Is he really not coming back, either? Sorry if this has been asked before!
I was browsing the site when I noticed the Hayate journal and was intrigued, and though from looking in his tag I know he's not being played, I still want to tell Nezu that truly, he has a skill in making profiles. "Friends: He undoubtedly has friends." made me spit water over my keyboard. And right handed scissors!! The worst! I don't know if they have spiral notebooks in Konoha but those would make the list too.
Fukuda
Writers, can you tell us more about Fukuda? She's so badass and awesome.
Who writes Fukuda's dialogue?
To the writers: is it a member of Kisame's clan who is Sango's father, or Kisame himself? If this will be an important plot point, you don’t have to answer. To Fukuda: do you know who Sango's father is?
Fukuda, did you know what was going on in Mist, regarding the purges, before you left for the Tsuto mission?
Fukuda, here are a few random questions: Did working as a jounin in Mist allow time for any hobbies? How long have you been working with Iebara--would you mind sharing a good memory of your entire team, including him (if there is any)? Also, have you considered any alternative careers wherever you end up? Thanks!
Fukuda: What are your plans once you and your sister get out of Kiri? I can't imagine it'll be easy to hide a blue baby with gills.
Fukuda: is there anything you would do differently when you first ran into team 6, had you known then what you know now?
Fukuda: From what I can remember, you're one of the few people who've gotten rotted AND survived. Can you tell us how getting your arm rotted off feels like? For the authors: What does getting a limb rotted off/removed do to the chakra networks around that region? Thanks!
Fukuda: what do you think of the Konoha shinobi you've been working with so? How about specific members of Team Six?
What Ifs and AUs
What roll would each team 6 member have in a "Leverage-esque" scenario?
Sort team 6 into Hogwarts houses please please?
I saw Nezu's post where he classified Ginta as Slytherin. Would you be willing to "sort" Team 6 and some other recurring characters? I headcanon Kuroda as Slytherin since his... "winning personality" reminds me of Umbridge.
In a university AU what would everyone be studying/doing?
How would the main Legacy characters react to meeting their counterparts (if they exist) in the canon Naruto verse?
Ryouma's father, Fukuda et. al., the Ueno congregation, and Kakashi's mother. None are proven dead. If any of the above ever met, through some confluence of events, how would the Team be affected?
Question (humble request? but only if you feel comfortable?) for the writers: if, in theory, you were ever to consider expanding Fallen Leaves... I remember a fight scene in which a certain moody Haruichi bit the Anbu director in the leg (Season 1, title: Pride and Falls). I think it would be highly amusing if Hyuuga Hiashi found out. Or if, in Legacy, Kakashi bit Raidou I think that would be pretty funny too.
Technically not a question but - DK. "Gut them while they're laughing." (In a previous answer.) Nezu how can you live with this man!? XD Actually... Raidou and Genma co-habitated (& more, heh) in FL. What'd happen if they did in Legacy?
Worldbuilding
How common is therapy in Konoha? Not the physical or interrogation-disguised kind. Have any of Team Six / Ginta / Kuroda been to "visit a Yamanaka," or whatever the euphemism for counseling is?
What are Konoha's continuing education classes for shinobi? Is it like a normal class, with homework, tests, and essays? What happens if a shinobi doesn't pass the class or go to any of the classes? Most importantly: Is there a jounin study group? I'm picturing 4 jounin each doing a quarter of that week's assignment and sharing the answers. Because students are students no matter the age.
Do the four medical-ninja laws exist is ANBU legacy? the ones that prevent medics from fighting unless they have the Strength of a Hundred Seal.
Nezu, what's the process of researching, creating and writing medical jutsu like?
Question about ANBU dating regulations: so for same rank dating, are captain and lieutenant considered different ranks?
Does Genma still run eros-type missions in this universe? If so, will we be seeing any of that?
One of my favourite things has been the films that you create for Legacy. Would you mind giving me summaries of a few of your favourites?
Okay, I've got to ask: are ALL ANBU missions as bad as the ones Team 6 has had, or is Team 6 just really unlucky?
Writers and Writing
Question for the writers: I am fascinated by people's writing processes, and I'd like to know more about yours. Especially when it comes to the mission threads, which are so intricately plotted. How does a mission come together in the writer's room?
Writers, what do you do with scenes that don't make it into a thread (I'm assuming they exist)? Do you guys save them somewhere? Are we ever going to get an outtake reel?!
Do you guys ever come into conflict with each other when you're writing? Like, one person wants something, one person wants the opposite? How do you resolve those kinds of conflicts?
How far in advance do you plan your threads/basic plot? Do you have a lot of fairly concrete ideas worked out ahead of time, or do things change pretty frequently?
Question for the writers: Do you guys have any tips for writers who are just starting out? I've started writing fanfiction, but I feel myself often hitting roadblocks while writing or not having any real inspiration for a few days at a time.
Writers! Tips for handling humor in writing, and balancing it with the serious moments? I find I either forget humor entirely and my writing takes itself too seriously, or I head too far in the other direction and can't find the off switch for the snark.
For the writers: is it tricky to write sex scenes?
WRITERS: If you could pick one (1) ship to be end-game, which ship would you pick?
Hello writers! I am a big fan of Kakashi/Ryouma since Fallen Leaves and I was wondering if there would be a chance for this pairing in Anbu Legacy. Or maybe any other Kakashi/member of Team 6 pairing, cause poor Kakashi needs some love ;D
To the writers: do you think you'll bring in any plots or things or characters from previous works (Fallen Leaves and Scarlet Spiral)? *cough*genrai*cough*
Question for the writers, those of you who write multiple characters, which character do you find easiest to write?
Another question for the writers, what do you like best about your character(s), and/or each other's character(s)? Feel free to answer as much or as little as you want.
Writers, who is your favourite non-Team 6 character to write? Who is your least favourite to write?
For the writers: Is there any personal meaning to your online names and Tumblr URLs?
For the authors: how many goats (and/or other animals) do you think each other is worth?
For everyone! Do you have writing playlists? What kind of things do you like to listen to when you write?
oh. favorite drinkss for the teaam (and writers if they want)! alcohol related mostly but since kakashi isnt that fun he can do a non alcholoic one
Well I don’t swing that way but if I did, I’d probably look for someone who’s: honest, who has a wonderful sense of humour (leaning more to the crude side), who has a lot of determination/passion for whatever she does and someone who has a high tolerance level because I can get rather moody and it’s not nice to deal with me with I’m pissy af.
