[X] Action Plan: Real Estate Play
  • Priority#1: Acquire housing.
    • Accompany Mari when she negotiates with the Tower for money.
      • Suggest printing broadsheets about Orochimaru's play to gain additional leverage.
    • Possibilities:
      • (first choice) The Shimura estate.
      • Acquire land surrounding our inn.
      • Have KEI ninja scout other potential locations. Avoid those near the Hyuuga.
  • Underground expansions:
    • Lease/buy underground space underneath properties adjacent to the tavern; put Mari on the case.
    • Using Earth jutsu (KEI member or Pangolins), build tunnels and rooms there, connected to our tavern. Employ civilians for subsequent constructions.
  • If we purchase an new estate
    • Patch it up. Prioritize apartments for KEI ninja.
    • Build a new underground network.
    • Ensure it looks as unassailable and intimidating as possible, so Rock ninja avoid it.
  • Talk to Kabuto about Noburi.
  • Ask Mother Nana (or Noburi) for some of her finest (and safest) hallucinogens.
    • Meditate in the training ground where you had the whale sealing failure. Try to sit at the exact spot.
      • Overwatch: Naruto, Noburi, and Mari. Employ genjutsu and restraints if it becomes necessary.
    • Attempt to contact other Paths for spiritual guidance. Reality's probably still very thin around you.
      • Preparations:
        • Attempt to widen dimensional apertures via continuous sealing/unsealing of a few dozen storage scrolls .
        • Arrange an array of party trick seals around you in the most eldritch fashion possible.
        • Play the spooky flute music again.
        • Have some genin to stand around doing the inverse of the dance of "Pray Reality Does Not Break Down".
        • Drench the ground with leftover (from the Basement) chicken blood (so it smells like death).
        • Focus overwhelmingly on the feeling of hunting demons that was Zabuza's aura. Mentally taunt them: "Here I am, come on and get me!"
      • When it works:
        • "Haha! Who is the idiot now ghosts!?"

Could get Ebisu to give Kagome a good review.

Kagome-sensei nodded decisively. "I want him to watch me teach Honoka, and to see the progress she's made. If he thinks my methods are good, I want him to tell those stinkers at the Academy that they're doing it wrong and they should do what I tell them. Leaf's education system sucks goat snot. Need to fix that."

Added back in debriefing as suggested by Keiko, and creative training.

Correct me if I'm wrong (@MMKII ?) but isn't this meant to be as an alternative for if we don't get estates? Shouldn't this be part of the original "get housing" thing?

Let's not, please. Mocking the Sage or the Buddha seems unwise, given that we're trying to get something from them.
 
@Oneiros @Noumero

This is one of the most Sith Lord worthy plans I've ever seen. It would be a literal crime not to do this, IMO. Bless your evil hearts.

No, do it anyway. The worst case scenario is we magically get a new compound this quickly and don't need it to house people right away, and so can use it for Research Initiative stuff or rig the whole thing to blow the whole city block sky high as a trap for the inevitable invasion battle.

I highly doubtful someone so wise and benevolent would be offended. But still, it's bad manner.

Have we been given any indication the Sage is any of these? He sounds like a complete thoughtless airhead that has no regard for how his ideas will actually pan out in the future in practicality.

...

It must also run in the family.

Deleted a couple of line for fear of offending the Sage.

EDIT: DON'T FORGET TO VOTE! VOTE!

And also consider my plan.

Made my plan more tame.
 
Do we expect Jashin is a contactable Out entity? Should we try to phone Jashin up?

Maybe they can pass a massage along to Hidan for us. Wouldn't that be great? Highspeed prayer communication!

Note that Tsunade doesn't think he's real:
Tsunade said:
The cultists screamed and charged.

Their coordination was terrible; they were coming from 11 and 1 instead of getting a proper 9-3 split the way they would have if they were competent warriors trained in working together instead of insane maniacs ready to die for their nonexistent god.

Of course, knowing Out, he does actually exists somewhere out there at the far reaches of the possibility-space, but—

This is the juiciest line from the last update, by the way:

What need concern you is that attempting to interface with inimical entities of terrible power requires certain vital preparations, including means to contact the relevant entity and only the relevant entity, and to have defences in place that have been optimised against that particular entity.

It postulates an entire discipline centred around locating, categorizing, and contacting extra-universal entities, and implies that the Nara/the Five have fairly extensive knowledge of it. I wish we didn't have to waste time on stupid politicking and could get around to working on the real issues.

This is actually really promising for my expected path of necromancy. Seance seals that call forth the desired soul from the Pure Land moving up to seals that pluck the soul out and stick them in a prosthetic body, which maybe later with extensive biosealing gets upgraded to a biological body again.
