Vocab - Itona Flashcards
(127 cards)
Obstreperous
Noisy, unruly
Obito was obstreperous in comparison to his calm and logical brother
Abstruse
Hard to comprehend
Hakuno found the situation completely abstruse
Quagmire
A difficult situation
Itona smirked, being in a quagmire, in both senses of the word, usually brought out new strengths so he wasn’t too panicked at the situation he was in
Indignation
Anger sparked by something unjust
Obito jumped in response to Daikoku’s version of the story, shouting in indignation, “…”
Idiosyncratic
Highly individualised/peculiar to one person
Kinkaku and Ginkaku stared in awe as the young child fought the seven ninja swordsmen; although he was only alive because of his idiosyncratic method of fighting, it was impressive that anyone, especially someone of his age, was able to fight well against the seven ninja swordsmen
Meretricious
Tastelessly showy (attractive with no value beneath the surface)
Itona rolled his eyes at the meretricious relationship. You didn’t even need any Dojutsu to see he was only with her for her riches and didn’t even really like her but nonetheless, she smiled and cuddled him like a couple that was deep in love.
It was so obvious to anyone with eyes. There were so many obvious hints that he was just a gold digger: he rolled his eyes at her when she wasn’t looking at him, his smiles drop off his face whenever she looks away from him, and he was extremely persistent about getting gifts from her. Didn’t she have any friends to point any of this out to her?
Polemic
An aggressive argument against a specific opinion (usually in a speech/written format)
Itona’s blood boiled at the polemic report about the dangers that the Uchiha brought to the village. With this level of ignorance, it must have been written by the second Hokage Tobirama Senju when he was still alive
Garrulous
Excessively talkative/wordy
Her garrulous personality didn’t affect his threat perception skills at all. As she talked, he filtered out any unnecessary details, which was almost half of the things she said, while also using his senses and Chakra sensory abilities to detect possible enemies
Seraphic
Angelic, sweet
As Obito began striking down with the Kunai to kill the enemy, she began to beg in a seraphic voice, “please don’t kill me, please! They’re forcing me to be here”
Intrepid
Brave in the face of danger
Itona showed everyone his intrepidity as he destroyed the barrier and charged at the man who had just been responsible for the third Hokage’s death
Sycophant
One who flatters for self-gain
Minato rolled his eyes and spoke with boredom, “I don’t need to be surrounded by sycophants. If this is an attempt to ingratiate yourselves with me, the centre of Konoha’s military force, it’s not working. Just tell me the mission.”
Effervescent
Bubbly, lively
The usually effervescent Rin, now with Kakashi’s hand through her heart, looked at the floor, full of dismay.
Ephemeral
Lasting for a very short time
His panic was ephemeral and he quickly analysed the situation and decided that the most exigent thing was preventing any fatal injury to Fuyura and averting any mobility-affecting injuries to himself
Pernicious
Extremely destructive/harmful gradually over time
Banto’s insects released a pernicious poison that shut down enemies’ chakra systems
Anachronism
Something that doesn’t fit in its time period
One would agree that it was made hundreds of years ago from its outward appearance and the items inside the house. Minato, however, picked up on one detail: the roof was made of Chakra concealing wooden panels, which had only been created a couple of weeks ago. This anachronism, along with Natsuno’s suspiciously pushy assurances that nobody knew about it confirmed one thing to Minato: This was a trap.
Inveterate
Long-established, unlikely to change feeling/habit
Gengetsu looked at Mu with disdain. His inveterate hostility towards the other Kage was formed by the constant comparisons he had received from the shinobi world between the two, in all of these, Mu had always been favoured.
Ruminate
To contemplate
Hiruzen ruminated the Third Kazekage’s proposal. Although there was no immediate danger to the leaf, it was a good offer and it was likely that the leaf would enter the war anyways.
“Lord Hokage, he’s awake!” Hiruzen’s aid said
Compunction
The distress caused by overwhelming guilt
Kakashi was full of compunction. He had one job. One job. Keep Rin safe. And he failed. The overwhelming emotions, along with the Chakra and physical exhaustion made Kakashi start to fall over, body deciding to shut down.
Proclivity
A strong inclination towards something
Itona noticed something unusual during their battle: Minato had a proclivity to close his eyes just after teleporting. Finally, a weakness to exploit.
Ingratiate
Bringing oneself into favour with someone by flattering or trying to please them
Minato rolled his eyes and spoke with boredom, “I don’t need to be surrounded by sycophants. If this is an attempt to ingratiate yourselves with the future Hokage, it’s not working. Just tell me the mission.”
Dogmatic
Inclined to lay down opinions as undeniably true
Itona scoffed and rolled his eyes then argued back with Minato in a dogmatic fashion, “I’m stronger than most Chunin and even some Jounin so not taking me to battle is just a stupid thing to do.”
Apathy
Lack of interest
“Listen to me, Itona. I know you’re gonna take this mission seriously anyway, but this mission is genuinely momentous.” Minato sternly addressed Itona.
Itona raised an eyebrow, unimpressed by Minato’s implication that he wouldn’t understand the gravity of the situation. He promptly responded in an apathetic tone, “yeah, Minato Sensei, duh. Kannabi allows the enemy to capitalise on aquaculture which allows them to support all of their forces. We’ve been training for a year, c’mon Sensei, you know I’m not stupid.”
Minato chuckled softly, “ok, I was just checking. I would consider you as… how do I phrase this…” Minato tilted his head up, eyes looking to the right as he thought. His mouth curled into a cheeky smile as he thought of the perfect wording, “I would consider you as not as intellectually advanced as I hoped you were because, if you were, you’d realise I was signalling to you to not do your usual risky manoeuvres.”
Itona rolled his eyes.
Ineffable
Too great or extreme to be expressed in words
It was just ineffable… Itona couldn’t believe the speed at which Minato was able to move. He really had been holding back whenever he was with Itona. This speed was basically godly.
In Itona’s thought process, which lasted less than five seconds, Minato had sped through approximately 1500 enemy Ninjas and slaughtered them all.
Minato, after slaughtering all the Shinobi, turned back around to look at Itona. His blue eyes were full of bloodlust. Itona shuddered. He had never seen the usually happy and funny Minato look so downright terrifying. Minato was a monster. Itona laughed at himself, why did he even ever think he was a genius that could be compared to this monster?
Discursive
Rambling, lacking order (ADHD-type beat)
Itona laughed as he noticed them all trying to comprehend Guy despite how discursive he was being.
