@No Country could we possibly see the updated Skill trees please?
I am especially interested to see where Pollen Dance goes.

Sure, I needed an excuse to remake those.

She's 15 now. I should have done something for her birthday but I figured time should be moving faster, especially with how long I said the war was.

I'll admit that some of those numbers are quite a bit higher than I expected for the secondary powers with the exception of Grass's current ninja. Maybe poke around ww1 & ww2 to get a feel for how a bunch of major and secondary powers all throwing hands at each other looks like in terms of troop ratios and figure out if you want to adjust it a bit. This might be a decent example, though it counts ww2 countries by total mobilization rather than starting standing army (so countries that got knocked out or mobilized late or have skewed numbers for obvious reasons).

Thanks! That's definitely something I should have considered more, but on the other hand, I was thinking after I made the edits, that villages like Ame, Taki, Tani, and sometimes Kusa and Sono, would be sort of "Middle Villages" rather than "Major" (the Five Great Villages) or "Minor" (Yu, Shimo, Sea's Hidden Village for reliance on their Great Village ally; Hoshi, Yuki, Claw's/Fang's Hidden Villages for their far smaller sizes). The Great Village average is over 1.5 times the size of the Middle Villages, taking either the high or low estimate, so I'm not too bothered with that, especially given how Tani, which has the largest military's numbers are inflated.

What I may go back and change is the population of the villages, though I never have a good grasp on how populous a city should be, especially compared to a country. That said, even Konoha, the most populous, wouldn't be above 350,000 in total.

There's a reason for this that will be exposited on. It has to do with the nature of the foe, which is still murky, but those unknowns are part of the reason Tsubaki was selected.

Tsubaki doesn't know Water Style, and both her personality and her compatibility with Fire Style mean learning it would be more difficult.
 
[X] Get sixty-six. Eleven sets of six should be enough variety, even if their patterns are dreadful.

[X] Split the platoon into three squads of ten, appointing a jounin to lead two of them while you take the lead on the third. Send each one to target the areas it's most likely for the enemy to be in, using summons to alert the other squads when contact is made.

[X] Tell the platoon that it's very likely that some of them will die, but that you and the jounin leading them will do your best to keep them alive, even while facing such a powerful enemy force.

Skill Trees (Revised)

    Grey squares are techniques available to Tsubaki that she does not yet know, a white oval is a technique Tsubaki is unaware of/doesn't meet prerequisites for. This could expand in the future.

    I'm guessing it's an issue with your browsers, I can see it logged in and logged out on PC and mobile. Sorry I don't have a solution, but so far that's the only image hosting site I've found that works on SV consistently for me.

    Edit: Or I could have thought of adding a direct link just in case it didn't work for someone. There is now a direct link in case it's not working for you.

    Not so much to fill the wardrobe to the brim, but enough to let us have some meaningful rotation even after some get destroyed.

    Even if the patterns are dreadful.

    Spread wide also means everyone has reinforcements relatively nearby that can converge on the flanks of any given enemy. There's a reason you want a defensive front manned wide and deep rather than concentrated into prongs. We aren't working an offense here but tracking and defense, so detection is the primary goal followed by a rapid collapse and encirclement of the enemy which a wide front would allow.

    Higher chance of engagement and forces closer together just by dint of there being enough of them spread over the area to ensure no one is far from another group, and that's Gould give enough time for Tsubaki to also respond to any incident.

    [X] Tell the platoon that it's very likely that some of them will die, but that you and the jounin leading them will do your best to keep them alive, even while facing such a powerful enemy force.

    What they platoons hear: "we are going to have great support from powerful jounin."

    What Tsubaki means: "I have decided that your lives are my scorecard for how well I'm doing as a commander, your deaths will mean I lose points."

    Oh damn, I want to get my hands on Thistle Dance lvl 2 because that's our golden ticket to the Upper Tier shenanigans!

    That's fair, Bracken is a quick move into upper tiers but I think Thistle may work better for us in the immediate turn because it plays very well with our style already and we'd get that step up to really unlocking a plethora of upper tier abilities.

    But I'm also not against possible doing some shenanigan combo's with Pollen and Bracken dance which seems like it'd be a nightmare to fight against.

    Now, now, that would be a spoiler. If you saw the uncensored tree for the brief time it was up, some of the higher tier stuff has names that would indicate how strange they are. Then again, the uncategorized T4 and T5 are pretty strange.

    She's about 20 years older than Kimimaro, so 24 or 25.

    The T5 tech that Willow Dance leads into is a more important prerequisite than Thistle lvl2, but both are necessary for the T6. That T6 is actually a pretty supplemental technique, but it has a lot of utility and is actually kind of has some backwards compatibility.

    Bracken and Thistle are pretty similar in terms of development, I think. Right now Thistle is a better match for Tsubaki's fighting style, but that can always change as she develops more techniques and combos, which is going to start happening after this mission and in the next campaign. Unless you all decide not to expand Tsubaki's horizons, which is fine, if that's what you want.

    The question of chakra with Bracken (and Thistle lvl2, theoretically) should be answered as part of all that.

    I'm curious as to what you mean with the combo of Pollen Dance and Bracken Dance though.

    Bracken Dance works via sprouting bones form the earth, but we ourselves can lose sight via our own forest. But using Pollen Dance, each bone spire could expel those tiny bony fragments giving an expanding series of bubbles of perception around each bone spire.

    To the point that cross connecting them or if an enemy flies/floats we can chase them via growing the Bracken spines into almost tree like constructs.

    Bracken and Pollen creates a field of death and awareness that would be difficult to avoid.

    Not that I'm opposed, but how do we get ourselves into Kiri at the right time?
    Both Akatsuki and Hanzo are the kind of groups that I think would be happy to send us off to destabilize Kiri I don't know the timeline and Kimimaro was just kind of wandering around the Land of Water after the Kaguya got fucking bodied when they attacked Kiri.
