Okay everyone, it's time to test some people out! The rules of the game are simple. You have a character you would like to try out as a native to the setting of this game. You want to see if this is the right setting to play said character in, right?

Well, then all you have to do is drop them into this post as a top level comment with this as the header:
Character name | Series (OC's just put Original here) | Planned Village Affiliation

Then you comment around and play with everyone else!

If you need some ideas on how to get started, you can drop your character in during the middle of a mission, have them at an eatery around their village, or maybe even just doing weapons practice. It's up to you how you want to set out, so feel free to put your characters in this version of the Naruto universe however it most seems appropriate. Just be sure to say where you put them somewhere in your post though, otherwise two people might not even be threading in the same country.

One last thing! Remember that your character was born in this universe, so whatever else you decide, your character is a world native, even if they might be a tourist in the village you decided to test them out on.

And that's it. Just be good to each other and have fun! Threads you do here can count toward future activity checks, so long as the person you're threading with gets in too. These threads can also be used for samples on your application.

The eye was still well-connected enough that there was no need to remove it entirely. Hana very carefully placed it into the socket, green chakra knitting things back together. She frowned, sensing the possibility for infection in the area behind the eye, and poured more of her chakra into the kitten. Eyes narrowed, she considered the cat. "I'm going to want to see her at least once daily this week, and you need to keep an eye out if she goes home with you. It shouldn't get infected, but if it does, I want it caught immediately."

Now came the hard part. Hana hadn't even bothered trying to feel for the optic nerve or check for vision yet. She lay down flat on her stomach, eye-to-eye with the kitten, and picked up the light from among the tools she'd laid out. Shining it into the kitten's eyes, the healthy eye was as responsive as it should be, but pupil size didn't change in the other eye. She sighed.

"I'll try." Hana couldn't promise anything else. She gauged her chakra stores. Hana had enough chakra for another diagnostic and one attempt, but that was all that was left. Briefly she considered taking the kitten to the office and asking for help. No one there had any more experience with optical problems than she did, though, and no one on duty today had more surgical experience.

"I don't think I have anything lined up for this week; I can definitely bring her in for check-ups. And-- yeah, I guess she'll go home with me. Keep her away from her brothers too, huh?" Because those two were naughty and kept play-fighting a lot. He figured the little girl was going to need some time alone to heal up properly without aggravating issues.

His face fell at the sigh, though, and even if he might have joked about calling her Ivan (eye-one), Shisui truly was upset about the fact that Hana just might not be able to save the kitten's vision.

He could only nod, and hope for the best when she told him she'd try. He knew she'd exhaust all her options before throwing in the towel if she had to. Shisui wasn't kidding when he'd said she was probably the best they had. "Is it going to hurt her? Do you want me to hold her still?" His hands came down from petting the dogs, reaching over now for the kitten.

"Yeah. Kittens are as bad as puppies when it comes to playing rough. If you've got a protective, well-behaved older cat, you can put them together, but otherwise, leave her isolated from other animals." Hana was familiar with some of Shisui's cats, but she hadn't seen them around kittens, and she hadn't seen the way they interacted as a group.

She nodded, confirming he should pick up the cat. "It won't hurt at first. I want to get a better comparison between the two eyes and the two optic nerves. It might when I try to do any healing, and that's difficult enough without her squirming."

Once the kitten was settled with Shisui, Hana seated herself crosslegged in front of them, lips pursed and both hands hovering just above the kitten's head. She sank a probing bit of chakra into the feline, feeling for differences between the two eyes, particularly with regard to the optic nerve. "I think I can tell where the problem is," she muses, "I'm just not sure if I can fix it."

Shisui shook his head, taking the kitten from Hana and holding her by the scruff in one hand, and grabbing her legs with the other. He was cooing at it, offering it words of reassurance. One would think that cat was his baby. "The older ones don't really stay. I don't encourage them either. I'm not around for months at a time sometimes so I wouldn't want them to expect me to feed them all the time; they'd starve if they're too shy to go out looking for food, or if they're too picky." That wasn't normal for cats, but he did encounter one poor little guy who just wouldn't leave his house for months.

He sat there with the cat, listening to Hana as she examined the kitten and purposely training his eyes to look at the cat or Hana's face instead of anywhere inappropriate. Somehow, the cat was more important to him right now but-- just in case. He'd been getting accused of plenty of inappropriate things as it is, recently. "...Her sight?" Aw, poor little girl.

"Good. At least you're practical about it." Hana hated people who didn't stop to consider whether they could devote the necessary time and energy to caring for pets. The ones who wanted pets selfishly but didn't bother to think of the animals as living things with needs of their own.

Hana's clothes were as simple as usual, fitted shorts and a tighter-than-normal flak jacket. It was unzipped the tiniest bit further than most days due to the heat, but not enough for the difference to be readily noticeable. And to be honest, she never minded drawing eyes. Hana flirted as straightforwardly as she did anything else. She didn't notice any intentional effort on Shisui's part to keep his gaze on her face. Hana wasn't looking at Shisui in the first place. All of her attention was focused firmly on the cat in his hands.

Hana bit the corner of her lower lip lightly with a canine tooth, then took a deep breath, concentrating. She did her best to repair the damage, green chakra glowing for a full minute before stuttering into nothing. If it had been enough, she wasn't sure. Hana thought partial sight was the most likely outcome, but they'd still need to test that.

"One has to be. They're like children; you wouldn't leave your children all alone at home with nothing to eat nor the skills to feed themselves." Shisui probably shared the same sentiment when it came to people who selfishly took in animals and then forgot about backing that up with unconditional love and care. He also particularly couldn't stand the people who took in puppies and kittens but threw them out when they grew into adults. He'd seen one person pour a bucket of scalding hot water over a dog to discourage it from returning to its 'home'.

...Needless to say, he'd yanked the dog before any permanent damage could be done.

Shisui held the kitten as still as he possibly could manage, hoping that whatever Hana was doing would be over soon for the kitten's sake.

The kitten growling made him focus back on the task at hand. "Everything okay?"

"My clan has a system in place that works just as well for animals as humans, but most don't." Hana's shift with the Inuzuka puppies, human and canine, was tomorrow. She was looking forward to day of games, all of them designed to teach basic tracking skills or hand signs. Such shifts were voluntary for all active duty shinobi and loosely required for any retired or civilian clan members. "There's always someone to look after dogs and children in the Inuzuka compound."

Hana frowned again. "I don't think it is, not entirely. I think I had some effect, but I doubt she has full vision back in that eye. That's all I could do even if I weren't low on chakra."

She held out her hands for the kitten. "She's not a shinobi. Partial vision in one eye won't hinder her at all, especially since she's young enough for quick adjustment." Hana was trying to convince herself as much as Shisui. She hated not being able to fully heal any animal. There were still tests to be done, but Hana was fairly certain that partial vision was the most she could have managed. It was likely to be either cloudy, blurry, or narrowed.
