We have to win if the hokage owns the land. Daimyo only give a fuck about tax revenue.
Daimyo would likely be amenable to the plan for a percentage of the land cleared, in that case.

Nope, a WMD. IIRC, skywalk over an enemy village, create a lasting effect that drops temperature to -200 Celsius; air becomes liquid, falls down and obliterates buildings, freezes more air in the process, creating a city-scale death rain in addition to hurricane winds.@Noumero I haven't been paying attention much to breaking EM and so don't know exactly what this is talking about, but would it be appropriate to add a further discussion on this to the plan?
@Noumero bring up asking Naruto to meet Sasuke before the clan meeting ends, to see Mari's opinion of it.
We should tell Asuma that Tsunade's vote can be secured by promising funding for medical education and R&D.
Implemented, implemented, implemented.Maybe mention the possibility of using the Seventh Path to sell these goods for gold/other valuables, and then taking that stuff to sell in the EN for ryo.

- Continue the meeting:
- On Ami:
- Can we trust her? Alternatively, does Mari have her handled?
- Any insights into her mind?
- Should we spend her favour now? Ideas:
- Maximize our political influence in Leaf.
- "Maximize my social competence".
- Acquire us IN social training.
- Could we exploit the Kuronuma and Akasugi Yakuza's cold war?
- Misc.:
- Adoption: What clanless jounin are available?
- Ami's creating a de-facto 'clanless clan'. Need to act fast.
- Adopt Kurenai, giving Asuma an opportunity for political marriage?
- Could Naruto convince Sasuke to support Asuma? They were teammates...
- Tsunade: Promise her funding before Hiashi?
- Either through Asuma, or by suggesting collaboration on land-clearing scheme.
- Could we sell exchange salt to the Pangolins for gold, then sell gold outside Leaf (like Jiraiya did)?
- Or go through Asuma, giving him a cut.
- Consider starting general trade with Summons. Our markets are desynchronized...
- Who are the remaining Leaf jounin? Their political affiliations?
- What'll happen to the Dog/Turtle Scrolls?
- If Lee's the next Turtle Summoner, should we reconsider adoption?
- Prepare for and schedule meetings:
- Tomorrow: Ino (lunch), Chouza (afternoon), Asuma (dinner).
- Overmorrow: Shino, Minami, Team Nakano.
- Commit an instance of creative training.
- Next day: Meet with Ino.
- Express our condolences. Reminisce about our fathers.
- At risk of meddling: Is there anything we can do for Chouza? He must be feeling awful.
- Collaborate on a memorial service, or a monument?
- If you figure anything out, carry out.
- Ask her thoughts on politics.
- Any important developments we might've missed?
I like this. I like it a lot.
But it will be tough to pull off. You would need undisputed power of the type the First hokakge would have wielded. Remember, the Third was probably against abuse as well, and it didn't stop under him. This isn't a no. It isn't even a "maybe later". Its a "be very clever".
We have not used the favor, last I checked; we are currently making the decision on whether or not we should use it, and what to use the favor on if we decide to.Arent we currently using our Ami favor on a really vague "do things which increase my utility in ways that my morals would allow me to do personally had I the skill"?
Furthermore, at the level of Elemental Mastery you need to reach -200 C (level 40 or so) the effect of the jutsu will last about seven hours after Akane stops concentration and leaves the area.Nope, a WMD. IIRC, skywalk over an enemy village, create a lasting effect that drops temperature to -200 Celsius; air becomes liquid, falls down and obliterates buildings, freezes more air in the process, creating a city-scale death rain in addition to hurricane winds.
Thank you!
Ooh! Slightly unethical but hey ninja politics.
What if we used our civvie connections to compile reports on political opponents hurting civvies? Its supposedly enough to instantly killbox leaf ninja right? If ISC+G came forward together with those reports and a goal to reform civvie relations under Asuma it would be really hard for the moderates to vote for Hyuga without massive face backlash.

Nothing I've done is even on the border of illegal. Do you want to know my secret weapon for turning civilian merchants into unknowing agents working hard to destroy Leaf's current social fabric? Respect.
With each update, my frown at Mari becomes more and more severe. If everything is so innocent, whom did she use TLitF on?The goal is to make things better for everyone, not just us. Both because it's the right thing to do and because it will result in us being respected and loved. Respect, love, and having made society richer means safety and power for us.

Just to this part. Maybe talk to Mari about something Hazou's learned over the past year and a half. Something about clearing plans with the team...? No? That's okay too.Mari smiled approvingly at his last words. "Yes, I know that storage seals aren't reliable on destruction. They are reliable enough so long as there's nothing obstructing the ejection point, and when they do fail they just eat their contents."
"No," Kagome said. "Not always. Almost always, if the seal is destroyed and ejection point is obstructed then the contents simply vanish. Very occasionally, something bad happens."
Mari went pale. "Ah. I did not know that."
Kagome shrugged. "Well, now you do," he said, poking at the bowl of stewed artichoke hearts that he'd salvaged from the post-dinner destruction. (They'd been very popular, since he'd been very careful about draining the blood after the last time.)
"When you say 'bad'...?"
He shrugged again, not looking up from where he was poking his food. "I've never heard of it being any of the more esoteric failures. Generally just the usual. Blood, death, screaming, that kind of thing."
"Ah." She paused. "I shall remember that in future."
Ah, right — the assumption that TLitF induces a persistent detached emotional state in the user. I do hope we get around to checking it, before something in its neighborhood explodes at us.
Honestly, I'm not sure whether it was a genuine mistake or whether she knew perfectly well it wasn't safe but considered the off-chance that it fails badly an acceptable risk. She probably wouldn't have brought it up if it was the latter, I suppose...Just to this part. Maybe talk to Mari about something Hazou's learned over the past year and a half. Something about clearing plans with the team...? No? That's okay too.

@MMKII, note the last section. Is it the right one?

Mari frowned. "Salt? The stuff is...what, three hundred ryō to the pound? It would take a lot of salt to support us. How are you going to beat the local prices without violating the Merchant Council rules?"
Its the other way. A kilogram is ~2.2 pounds.
Alright, I'll bite the bullet. @Noumero I want to add a line asking Keiko to come over to discuss Seventh Path-related shenanigans, three things in particular:
In other circumstances I'd consider just waiting until the current politiking is over, but Noburi's training is best done sooner so we can trade with the Seventh Path, and we can't do the obvious thing and train with Asuma if he's going to be campaigning for Hokage.
- Schedule training sessions with Noburi so he can learn Summoning.
- Clarify* the conversation wherein she cancels the Skytowers trade.
- Discuss the possibility of economic trade with the Seventh Path, such as selling salt or ice for gold and other valuables.
*By which I mean we convince her to stall the trade by citing Jiraiya's death, and shift the trade to us and the Toads under the guise of her being a Nara now.
Eh? I'm just talking about scheduling the meeting, not doing it. Chronologically this should take place after all our political meetings we've planned already.It sounds like a big ticket item, as in lot of spoonworks. So we'll need to cut something else as well.
I think we need to get Noburi the training, but if in the event that Noburi can't actually do it...we're screwed, unless we have another candidate who can start learning summoning.
