PREFACE - 2024
An year passed since I hosted the first edition of The Naruto Challenge in this forum. Those were my beginning days in the forum and I was not acquainted with many people in the Forum. I still remember the nervousness of drafting this challenge and expecting probably only a few responses to my call. The response was not huge but yes, it did go beyond my expectations. I was expecting 6-8 responses considering that the forum was not at its peak of activity, but I still got some 16 responses.
Eight strong contestants went past the first stage and I still remember fondly the names of the warriors. @kazim.09 @sugrillos (The Uchihas) @HappyAbi @DarkDLeo (The Rock Lee and Might Guy team) @cloudstrike @The_Rising_One (Father-Son duo) and finally @prince_king @Nerbo (Neji Hyuga and Shikamaru Nara, we both still have the same DPs). We lost a few warriors after subsequent rounds and some warriors had the worst fall that year.
However, throughout the Challenge we had very interesting conversations and we came very close to each other. We discussed Naruto in the beginning but then slowly we began discussing a lot more. We began intruding in each otherβs diaries and doing trash talk before matches. I began using Google Translate just to make comments on @sugrillos 's Diary in Portuguese. My mate Neji @prince_king became very emotional when I had to push hard on behalf of both of us, to come out of the Forest of Death alive. That phase really brought us very close as friends. That challenge did help us even recently when I guess, we came out of the Forest of Death again.
We can perhaps only look back at the past and ponder on the quick passage of time. An year passed since our Madara Uchiha @kazim.09 had won the Naruto Challenge and today we are here again. I am attaching the link here for anyone who wants to revisit the challenge:
I wholeheartedly welcome you all on this journey. Do join me as we embark on this journey again. We expect to form more bonds, we expect to see more unexpected turns in the competition, we expect more fun as we re-live the lives of our favourite Naruto characters. Do join me, as we roll out the Second Edition of the much awaited NARUTO CHALLENGE!
Introduction - 2023
Hi there. Anime fans form a huge lot of RC users, we have a lot of Dragon Ball and Naruto fans. I had also begun watching the Classic Naruto series. I had this idea that why not create a challenge and re-live the life of some of Narutoβs characters while aligning it to our NoFap journeys! So, I have curated this challenge. The challenge, of course, begins from the Academy level and is termed as THE SEVEN CLONE CHALLENGE.
Everyone begins with the ability to produce 0 clones and every day that you are able to stay pure it increases your ability to produce a clone. This simply put means that to Graduate from the Academy, you need to have a 7-day Hard-Mode streak. A grace period of 7 days will also be provided so that if someone fails once or twice they can try again. So, the academy level will begin on 1st May and end on 14th May. On 15th May the results will be announced. However, all participants must report daily on the group and update their streak status.
Then comes the Chunin Exams which will be divided into 4 sections. First, all the graduates will be divided into teams of 3 or 2 (depending on the number of graduates). You can form your own teams or there will be random pairings.
The first section will be the JONIN CHALLENGE where for the next 7 days not only does each member has to keep himself pure but also his team members must keep themselves pure. If any member relapses, the whole team will be disqualified. Daily updates by all team members remain necessary.
The next section will be READING TEST where for the next 7 days the team must accomplish 20 hours of reading time, with every member contributing at least 3 hours of reading and there must be a daily reading time of 1 hour on the part of the team. Daily update by at least one team member is a must.
The third and fourth sections will comprise ELIMINATION BATTLES and ACCOUNTABILITY BATTLES. The rules of these battles will be declared at the end of the second section of the Chunin Exams.
So who all are interested? If you are interested, pick a character from the series and reply to this thread. No two people can have the same character.
