Welcome to Gaia! ::

Agreed. I'm not sure how the whole AC / AA thing rolls, so I agree with Hinote's assessment of my talent... (which I had misconstrued).

However, I'm still moving and attacking faster then Jishaku, so my previous points still hold true.

I'd like to say that Shinji would be moving at AC speeds. Although, I'd like to have the Advanced Augmentation looked at, and at most revised to +3 ranks, otherwise if Shinji makes it to S rank which is almost certain to happen he'll be moving at SSE rank, which as Hinote has expressed before, he does not wish to be possible. Or at least cap it at doubling speed up to A rank, which in essence would make you go S rank speed as a Jonin. A little trade for that big of a hole in the bloodline in my eyes. Shinji would be moving so fast, his punches would be the equivalent of a cannonball hitting you. I'm going to give a rough estimate that he'd be moving at around 150 mph, or more. ( How did something that at S rank allows you to be untouchable by any means even get passed? )

Also, in a completely unrelated note, except that it concerns the Konaga bloodline:

You'll need to rework some of the weaknesses if your chakra system is passed. If it is, then it nullifies some of your bloodline's weaknesses, and thus makes it imbalanced as far as the approval system goes.

Please don't be mad, I'm just shifting the subject subtly so that (unofficial) mommy, daddy, and grandpa stop fighting...

I'm not second guessing you, I'm just saying that at S rank, which Shinji will undoubtedly make it to unless Cobra just randomly quits, or puts Shinji in a stupid situation, or if his roll just totally blows in a fight, he'll be capable of something that should never be possible. He'd surpass any and every Bijuu combined in terms of speed. It doesn't seem like much, but there is no way to dodge a point blank cannonball to the face, which at S rank is exactly what a punch from Shinji would be. It would shatter your skull, and possibly his hand if he doesn't have a gauntlet of sorts, and possibly even obliterate your head. ( Pop it like a zit if you would. )

Again, I'm not Second guessing you. >.< I'm just pointing out something I found that doesn't seem to fit right within what I've been told.

Ah, I'm sorry I jumped to that conclusion. ^^"

I'd more think an S ranked punch would be more like a bullet. capable of doing considerable damage, but not enough to completely obliterate a human torso. I mean Tsunade and Orochimaru exchanged blows for a short while, and neither of them exploded into tiny bits. Orochimaru might have if Tsunade got a good punch in. But those two were extremely above average, one was immortal, the other was capable of rending a building or the ground she stood on with a single finger. Shinji is powerful, but I don't think we need someone capable of toppling a building with a poke as a passive ability. ( After the use of a jutsu. )

Raijuu is built for speed though, and only linear. Shinji could easily take it out by charging it straight on, dodging to the side just barely, turning on a dime, and then punching it in the back of the head. sweatdrop He'd probably come close to killing Sora from simply punching her. ( As I'm sure he'd use his two attacks per post to augment and then use a chakra blade or something. ) Heck, he could probably just dodge to the side, then side step and kick her in the stomach, Chakra blade his leg, and cut her in half. xD I just see the ability to one shot a Bijuu ( Even though the Bijuu is really restricted in movement, and therefore extremely easy to target ) as a bit strong. xD Heck, Kye would have a terrible time of fighting even an A rank Shinji. Luo might be hard pressed to fight him as he is now, or at least at B rank.

anyway, I'm going to skip off to study/minecraft. I really want to build an evil castle or something with this new Texture pack. ^>^

Anyone who thinks this doesn't understand the progressive and destructive costs of the Konaga Bloodline. As I said previously, Shinji can elevate his ability to possibly match that of a Jounin level character for at most 3-4 posts before he burns himself out... and that is not a figure of speech, it's literal.

...after that, he essentially loses control and goes unconscious. Any experienced S-rank shinobi, such as Kye, or Luo, could keep up with Shinji, evading or neutralizing him for several posts until he burns out... that's the entire strategy for fighting a Konaga. All you have to do is survive long enough for the Bloodline's negative impacts to cripple the user, then you strike when they have no recourse.

Why is this so hard to understand?

Experience refers to the RPer... not the rank.

If the amount of time it took for me to go from Genin -> Chuunin is any indication... I'm on track to be an S-ranked shinobi in 2022

If this fight is indication of how long it will take me to get to S-rank... I may have to pass the character onto my child...

I've fought multiple opponents my same rank and I've never received a complaint. I went through the ENTIRETY of the Chuunin exams without anyone batting an eye at my abilities. I fought David (a Jinchuuriki) , Zin, and Lance... no one complained once. I won all those fights, but not by landslides in any case.

You're looking at all the BENEFITS without weighing in any of the negative side effects. You're not looking at the fact that rolling can render me completely useless for a post, can reduce my speed and strength, or any of the other negative aspects of being a Konaga. Keep in mind, I have to roll constantly in every post... and Stamina drain never stops...

I don't see the balance issue, and clearly no one else has seen it before this point either. Is Konaga a strong Bloodline? Yes, to be sure... but its balanced with a lot of rules. I'm very careful not to misuse or abuse this... and I'd challenge you to find a place where I've irrevocably harmed the RP or destroyed people's RP experiences with my character and his abilities.

I would like to note that despite all this discussion, Shinji will still be moving as fast as he is in his most recent attack.

So Luo, you still need to answer for my qualms with your last response. You can't use that technique without hand seals and honestly, you don't have the time to initiate another technique before Shinji's attack is made.

...please respond in some manner, either by editing your post, or explaining why you think you have the time to accomplish what you want.

Thanks.

I'm not trying to say that Cobra is abusing it, I'm saying that it could be very much abused by anyone else. So if we ever so slightly nerf it, so that it only grows your speed by three ranks, then people won't be shooting around at A rank as a Genin, killing people in an exam if we ever have on of those again.

I mean I like Shinji, I like that he is a tank of an unstoppable mass of flesh. Cobra does a great job of not spamming moves, or just one shotting opponents. He does this wonderfully! But others wouldn't be so apt to pull a death punch.
