Marked for Death: A Rational Naruto Quest

Voting is open
Reader mode
Another thing to take note of, is that Hazou wasn't on the podium as one of the leaders of KEI. This means that we can actually play good cop to Hiashi and promise to rein Naruto in and turn the movement's energy against Konoha's enemies instead of the clans. All in return for some very reasonable concessions, of course.
 
Guys guys, I know this is much more boring than dungeon crawling, but when are we gonna officially adopt and anoint Naruto?

Also, I really think a private debriefing and soul searching with Mari is warranted in the near future.

I will always vote against adopting Naruto. It is a dumb move that we shouldn't make

I am going to strongly campaign for adopting Naruto next plan unless there's a good reason to keep him Uzukami just a little longer for Uzumaki-council-vote reasons.

I want to give Pangolin Conditioning Jutsu to him darn it!

Wait wait wait.

Naruto is definitely joining the Gouketsu because he said so.

Why don't we become the replacement Uzumaki to retain both seats?

One would imagine that various naysayers would argue that none of us have Uzumaki heritage and something something legal argument something something Hiashi.jpg.

It's worth thinking about, but personally I don't want to go for the power grab just like that.

None of us had "Gouketsu" heritage either. Including Naruto. At best we were ideological successors of Jiraiya, and Naruto can just adopt us on the same grounds before Noburi adopts him.

Be back in a few hours to change stuff. Need to cut down on wordcount but thats not a major obstacle.

WC :354



Modify the below with NPC input as Hazou et al deem reasonable.

Clearing team: Clan Gouketsu + Naruto + Snake(?)

  • Prep:
    • Acquire necessary gear.
    • Reinforce the first accessible subbasement (floor and ceiling)with 5SB'd ninja wire platforms the night before.
      • Don't want house to cave in or get exploded somehow.
    • Handle any and all legal nonsense. This is your horrorterror dungeon now damnit! Anything in there is Gouketsu clan secrets. Declare it so somehow.
      • Ask Keiko + Naruto for help doing so expediently.
    • Get Kabuto and/or a team of medics on standby.
      • We'll share our Absolutely Clan Secrets biological samples with him of course.
    • Subtly ask Snake for dungeon clearing SOP tips. Implement.
      • Hypothetically would she like to help clear our clan secrets bioterror basement? No hypothetical conflict of interest?
      • Drinks at the Soggy Tag would be on Hazou for the rest of literally foreveerrrrrr~!
    • Pay 1-2 dozen clanless Genin to sit in our living room and serve as chakra batteries.
      • Naruto clones babysit. Talk up KEI.
    • Run things by Kagome.
  • Gear
    • Personal:
      • Full body suit + gloves+ gas mask(use the mask setup from the CHAOS suits). Wear many layers of each.
      • Tunneler's Friend, Usamatu's, Banshee Slayers, earbusters, air domes.
      • Hazou and Kagome wear their CHAOS suits (no chakra detectors).
    • General:
      • Seals.
      • Medical equipment to put together the staging areas.
      • Kagome's deployable barricades.
      • Soap and lye to scrub down cleared floors.
      • Live chickens.
      • Logs for substitution.
    • Whatever Kagome can think of that'd help. He has carte blanche.
  • SOP:
    • Staging:
      • Create a staging area at the end of each cleared floor, close to the next one.
      • Quarantine it as necessary from the surrounding floors with multiple series of Air Domes and Force Walls.
      • Put medic tents in these. Move stuff from floor to floor.
    • Clearing (on a floor by floor basis)
      • Have clones open outermost Air Dome/Force Wall hatch.
      • Clones toss in bundles of Usamatsus to help clear the air. Throw some tunneler's friends in when done. Bad air out, good air in.
      • Throw chickens in to distract and trigger traps.
      • Have clones carry partytrick and earbuster seals and run in to activate to distract/dogpile nasties and trigger traps.
      • Trap cleanup handled by Kagome, Akane, Snake (?).
      • The rest kill all the monsters.
      • Set up next staging area.
    • Safety:
      • Keep substitution targets near the entrance of each floor.
      • Have clones touch icky stuff.
      • Evac the moderately wounded or at first sign of strange medical issues.
      • MEW off any really dangerous/hazardous bits.
      • Use only elemental clones in case of genjutsu/memetic hazards.
      • Take breaks.
    • Catalogue and store everything.
    • Stop when you reach the bottom.
    • HAVE FUN !!!!

I still think that sacrificing Naruto's clan is madness.

I really don't like the idea of deliberately activating traps. If nothing else, Orochimaru might well have arranged for any potentially incriminating evidence to self-destruct. We want his work intact.

You are not being paranoid enough.

  • Confide in Kagome about Zabuza flashbacks.
  • Get experts' advice:
    • Ask Snake for dungeon-clearing SOP. Try accessing the ANBU's documentation about the basement.
      • Ask if she'd be interested in helping us. Warn about clan secrets.
    • Consult Kagome. Have him brief everyone on esoteric hazards.
  • Preparations:
    • Reinforce the upper subbasement (floor and ceiling) with 5SB'd ninja wire platforms (to protect the compound from caving-in).
    • Prevent legal troubles. It's our basement: anything within is our clan secret. Get Keiko's and Naruto's assistance.
    • Get Kabuto/a team of medics on standby. Promise to share the biological samples.
    • Get several clanless genin on standby (chakra batteries).
  • Gear:
    • Personal:
      • Full body suit, gloves, gas mask (akin to CHAOS suits'). Wear several layers of each. Upper layers need to be easily detachable (glue traps/grabby abominations).
      • Tunneler's Friend, Usamatu's, Banshee Slayers, Banshees.
      • CHAOS suits for Hazou and Kagome.
    • General:
      • Seals.
      • Equipment, stretchers, and first-aid kits.
      • Kagome's deployable barricades.
      • Soap and lye to scrub down cleared floors.
      • Small animals in cages.
      • Substitution logs.
      • Flour bags.
    • Whatever Kagome wants; he has carte blanche.
  • SOP (floor-by-floor basis):
    • At the end of each floor, create a staging area. Isolate it from the floor below via Air Domes and Force Walls. Put medic tents within. Leave a Naruto for security.
    • Clearing:
      • Have clones open the outermost Air Dome/Force Wall hatch. Toss in several of Usamatsu's, then Tunneler's Friends.
      • Have clones (first elemental, then shadow) move in, bearing nightlights, firecracker seals, and cages with small animals.
        • Purpose: trigger traps, provoke & engage hostiles.
      • Kagome, Akane, and Panashe (if Keiko could borrow her) carefully disable traps; the rest engage remaining hostiles.
      • If the room has multiple exits:
        • Block all except the entrance via Air Domes/Force Walls. Explore them one-by-one.
        • Re-seal all branching-off paths before moving onto the next floor.
      • Leave a trail of substitution targets. Set up the next staging area.
    • Safety:
      • Stick together, don't get separated.
      • Watch each other's backs. Don't trust walls: they could be vectors of attack.
      • Avoid touching anything directly, delegate to clones.
      • Retreat at the first sign of nontrivial medical issues.
      • MEW off dangerous areas as necessary.
      • Beware of esoteric threats:
        • Memetic/antimemetic hazards. Genjutsu seals.
          • Possible countermeasure: Mari interrupting them with another genjustu (Sunny Day?).
        • Invisible threats (throw flour bags).
        • Illusionary walls.
        • Spatial anomalies.
        • Nature chakra (Noburi: be careful with mist-draining).
    • Catalogue and store everything.
    • Have fun!

It really is.

With two clans we get two votes on the council, can adopt 4 ninja per year, and get twice the financial growth from clan revenue due to that doubled adoption rate. There is no sensible reason to throw away having a second clan. If Naruto really wants to be a Gouketsu because he and Jiraiya thought up the name together than fine, but we need to get someone else to head the Uzumaki, whether that's Hazou, Mari, or even Sakura.

This is a fair point. Given that Lailoken Is Always Right is a trope in this quest, we should all consider this very carefully.

This sort of eliminates the "Throw clones into a meatgrinder" strat though.

I'm inclined to do it the slow way if it maximizes shinies.

Also, we should listen to Lailoken.

Something about that segment (and I'll try and find quotes in a bit) makes me think that he'd feel best about this whole experience if he or someone more paranoid than him was in charge (on the off chance that ANBU SOP comes anywhere near his level of caution)
