I don't know. We should weigh the pros and cons of becoming possessed.

Huh. Might be too late on that one.

Ah shit, you're right. Kill Hazou with fire.

In completely unrelated news, there is a reason I've been absent for the last few days and will probably be about less consistently for the foreseeable future: my wife and I have completed our 9-month project to rewrite one of each of our Aspects to New Parent, and are facing a significant number of Compels on said Aspect in the time to come.

Congratulations! As much as I will regret your decreased time around these parts, I shall take pleasure in knowing that the unquestionably superior genetics of anyone clever enough to be an MfD player are being propagated.

You do not.
 
Edited in the therapy and pushed the "Debrief J on following" section to before grabbing ramen.

      • What the hell do these do!?
  • In general, just blow some shit up for the hell of it.
  • Debrief Jiraiya on the remainder of our plan
  • The three of them go out to get ramen afterwards.
    • That Ichiraku Ramen place looks good...
Training from Hell

    • The ground is lava!
      • They must chakra adhere to other surfaces or bounce off of clones/themselves/use jutsu to avoid touching the ground.
    • Deliver Lee's first. Ask him if he wants to join in.

End of interlude, after a scene break marker:

The rest of Hazō's life was comfortable and, for a certain definition, happy. Jiraiya spared no expense. Twice a week, despite the Yamanaka's warnings that some strains of headcanon could be contagious, he would visit Hazō and listen patiently to his tales of his latest adventures.

Near the end of his life, he confessed to his heir that his greatest regret was not being able to save Naruto before Hazō did.

-o-​
What does Hazō the heroic jinchuuriki do next?

Voting closes on Wednesday 27th of September, 12 pm London time.

He is devoured by the Out due to a sealing failure while trying to make a superior Edo Tensei seal, as the players didn't realize being the ten-tails jinchuuriki does not raise your Sealing skill.
 
@MMKII , does inviting Team Gai mean with Neji and Akane or just one of them? Neji is probably still grounded (it's what, 2-3 day's since we returned?)

Also why are we inviting Kakashi? Seems weird.

Akane is not on Team Gai.

The point of Kakashi's bullets is to get some more interaction with him. Likewise the Ichiraku Ramen bit, we want to interact with the characters.

At our current level of notoriety there is a certain threshold on #SocialInteractions that needs must be met before we can expunge any meaningful Jolly Cooperation out of these folk, unless we have A Very Well Reasoned Argument that is also very effective at convincing the character (see Tsunade, I think).

It would be great if we could just kick Teuchi's door down and outline a plan for franchising his business in a way that makes everyone money and gives everyone cheap ramen, but such social interactions are weird and abrasive.

You have to have tea with the other person a few times before you start inviting them to join your shadowy conspiracies and secret organizations, you know.

Yes, please don't invite Team Gai if there's any chance of them bringing Akane. Hazou doesn't need that meeting until he's had some time to recover.

Help! How do I make this better?

[x] Action Plan: Stress-relief

I love it.

However, if I can make a suggestion on A rank mission, maybe we can help build things in the area that we clear? We will have a ton of chakra available from the beasts we kill, so we could shore up walls, make better foundations, dig better latrines and wells. We could even try to irrigate a farm!

And this adds a "training from hell" complication. We can't kill them except via chakra drain, and we have to kill them before they know we are there.
 
I don't think we're going to get permission for more than one of these "Go do some Uplifty stuff" missions during the break and after thinking about it I'd rather we not use that chance carelessly on stress relief. We can maximize the amount of good that we can do way more than that.

Srry @MadScientist , am unvoting. :V

Thats a day we could spend training with more efficacy.

I just dont see Jiraiya agreeing to this twice. I also dont see the Hivemind voting for this again.

Edit: Also didnt the last chakra beast hunt take 2-3 days?

Whew, that was a hell of an update. Loved the writing etc etc you already know you're a great writer @Velorien .

Anybody know any chakra-magycks to mend a broken heart that aren't edo-tensei? If no-one raises a hand, I'll ask for a flashback interlude of the time Kagome gave Orochimaru the Cursed Seal Mark, I swear to Jashin.

Yes.
 
So, the problem of ninja caravan is the lack of trade goods, which was predicted by the hivemind as one of the reason why it wasn't done.

Which means...we better create more goods to trade.

"Simple enough," she said. "You each make your mark here to indicate that you're accepting the mission. You're all going together?" She waited for the answering chorus of assent. "Okay, well, there's enough of you that I'll mark the mission filled. Don't want too many people combing the same area tripping over each other. How long do you plan to stay out?"

Everyone looked at Keiko.

"Thirty-three hours," she said clearly. "We will return by sundown tomorrow."

Ino's eyebrows shot up. "That's not a lot of time," she said carefully. "Particularly when you're splitting the money five ways, it's unlikely that you'll find enough targets to make a worthwhile amount unless you spend at least two or three days onsite."

@MadScientist

If we are to do this we should double dip and take an extra half day to wall up some farms and heal some minor injuries. Lets at least be efficient with the time expenditure here
