The Art of War? Awesome. What was the key?

@inspira
I know, but the pattern was just interesting. You work quick btw!

Packbat should let me solve the next one

Looking at past results, I'm going to say

medium/hard

. Y'all probably know what that means.
It's from a Naruto fanfiction, during the Chuunin Exam arc, so you'll know/be able to look up some of the names etc. to expect. I'll probably just post a list of characters in the scene later and some translations of some things to get you started.
It's

pretty

very long so it should be solvable when you have a start.

[theplague42]

Ah didn't see where he said the key

[inspiratieloos]

Baki
Gaara
Gai
Kankuro
Kazekage
Konoha
Naruto
Obito
Orochimaru
Oto
Sasuke
Suna
Temari

That should be all the names in the text

[Klazam]

I'm useless in codebreaking but i want to post a code...

[Packbat]

Go ahead - it doesn't look like anyone's going to get inspiratieloos's.

[Klazam]

I think this code's easy.

I'm pretty sure no one even tried my code...

[Klazam]

I tried and failed horribly

I was pretty sure the code was too easy.

[Packbat]

No Js, letters in pairs - #227 is a Playfair, I'm guessing. Next step is to find repetitions, I think.

[inspiratieloos]

Should I give a few of the words to get you started or do you want to attempt yourself first?

[Packbat]

You gave me a list of words already - I can refer to that if necessary.
