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.

Sasuke hadn't wanted to get involved, not when he was this close to getting home after weeks away on the sort of mission Obito seemed to think was most appropriate to throw at him now that he'd finally made jounin. They mostly seemed to involve grueling hours spent undercover watching for information exchanging hands in the kind of place that made being undercover deeply uncomfortable for one reason or another, and the explosive fight that had happened when Sasuke had finally pinpointed the target had been a damn relief after all the time spent sticking to the sides of walls and tops of trees.

Now that he was finally headed home, however, the sound of another battle was the last thing he wanted to hear -- but it was close enough to the village walls that he heaved a sigh and went to investigate after just a few seconds of debating whether it was worth it.

The sound of a terrified scream broke his vague hope that it was just someone training further out from the village than usual, however, a frown creasing his forehead as he took to the trees to move more quickly. There: a riot of damage through the forest and the lingering trails of earth-natured chakra everywhere. And something familiar about it, something he only placed once he'd skirted the mess of the earth wall and web and landed squarely in the path of the shinobi responsible for it, sword drawn.

The Konoha forehead protector was good enough to start with, but that pink hair was hard to miss.

"You're ... aren't you Sakura?"

Uchiha...

Sasuke Uchiha. She didn't exactly...stalk him like she had when she was a child, or even see him all that often anymore (considering he was on a team full of high-class jounin candidates training under the Hokage and Team Shirakumo was still getting used to being chuunin, they didn't exactly share patrols)...but she still recognized his face readily enough. Probably most people in Konoha would.

She did maybe a little more quickly than some people in Konoha. They were ex-classmates, after all. That said, to say she was surprised was a mild understatement. Although she was near Konoha, it still wasn't that common to encounter uninvolved ninja in a mission. Particularly one she'd actually know. But--it was unlikely in the extreme that it could be Shisui, as he was still on a long-distance mission last she'd heard, and even if he returned today, he would have gone to report to the Hokage, not harass his student.

So. Probably not a henge or genjutsu.

She blinked in surprise, staring at the new Jounin for a few moments both to recover from that surprise and to discreetly check her chakra for disturbances or his image for inconsistencies, before she finally spoke. "I...um...yes?" She'd be surprised he recognized her, except he was clearly a genius, and there weren't really any other pink haired people in the village. (She presumed that her father must have come from some family that moved in to Konoha some time after it was founded, but Kizashi hadn't actually kept track of his family history and had no idea)

"It's...Sasuke Uchiha?" She's quite sure it was, but that seemed the polite response. And it explained her hesitance without needing to skirt around the whole 'secretly being tutored by an Uchiha' issue that...really explained the extended pause she gave before answering.

...Plus pretending to be unsure who he was made her feel less weird and embarrassed about the 'once had an obsessive crush on him' thing.

A once-over had confirmed the answer even before she responded verbally; it was definitely his former classmate, but taller and with what appeared to be a Chuunin uniform on. So her team had finally made Chuunin after all -- he had the vague impression that he probably should have known that in more detail, but there had been so many exams by now that he simply hadn't kept track.

"Yeah, I'm Sasuke," he nodded, used to people not always completely sure which Uchiha they had in front of him.

"Did you run into trouble back there?" He tilted his sword back in the direction they'd come from.

It was still a little weird to run into Sasuke Uchiha while on a mission of all things, and a part of her still suspected it was some sort of trick or trap...but her surprised awkwardness could only last so long, and healthy wariness went only so far before it was an insult to a fellow shinobi.

Without anything else to knock her further off-balance, she had to eventually move on from both.

She glanced over her shoulder briefly at the still ensnared bandits, and then back Sasuke (and his sword, which really held her interest more than the neutralized nin behind her). "With bandits like those? Not at all. I just couldn't fight them where they were, the client gets squeamish around battle." No matter how Shirakumo assured them their silks wouldn't get sprayed with blood or body parts they'd been...adamant.

Her sword might not have helped their ideas.

Ah, squeamish clients. Sasuke made a face to indicate he understood what those were like, sheathing his own sword since it seemed clear enough that Sakura was confident she'd disposed of the attackers. He regretted it the next moment when he realised that he had no idea what to say or do next, since she was clearly heading somewhere on a mission and he was just going home.

He left his hand awkwardly on the hilt of his blade instead, at a loss for a moment before finally coming up with: "I was headed back to the village. Your team is fine?"
