They already Collapse'd our asses, they are clearly incentivized to doing stuff like this already. Still, ideally we would do something they can't replicate easily, yeah. I wonder if Canun has any Metal Jutsu that could summon tungsten rods......
Wait, Hidden Rock is underground?!
(minor spoilers for the linked fic, below)
I liked it too. Naruto was just smart enough and the beast was just likeable enough that the ending HURT a bit. Good job
Looks good. I know it's word count capped already, but it's a shame we can't fit in the idea about flooding Hidden Rock itself with heavy gases that are toxic/explosive. We may need a more workable version first anyways (like idek what gas to use for this) before we suggest it tho so maybe it's ok to leave it out
More words for the word gods.
Ah. What if Leaf loses ground (as it is currently)?
then Noburi is screwed!
PSA: Dramatically restructed FOOM OPSEC plan. A couple days of thinking have made it clearer to me how to think about the problem: What ways can we win and what ways can we lose? This structure is meant to highlight the titular "Layers" of the plan -- namely, four different fronts where if we successfully "defend", FOOM doesn't get out. No content has disappeared as a result of this restructure -- on the contrary, I went through @_The_Bomb's plan and stole content (thanks!) where I thought it was complementary.
Maybe: "Contract a Jonin Toad?".
Probably should emphasize that he's a sealmaster.
Are there any rivers near Hidden Rock? From the looks of things the nearby rivers are quite a ways away, around 50 miles or so.
Good idea.
Asuma would know that though right? Cryptography is something less immediately obvious I feel like, though I'm not actually sure how much of a useful skill it is in a ninja war considering how quick and bloody they are...
"Rock" should likely be changed to "Earth" here, or perhaps "Earth settlements".
After speaking with a lot of you over Discord, I have decided to nix the "telling Asuma about the cover" idea. I was debating making it conditional on Mari's approval and changing the allibi to something more beliveable, but I ended up deciding to toss the whole thing. This way, I can add the extra wordcount to my "Standard Operating Procedure," which is my favorite part of the plan.(This is my first ever plan. Yay!)
[X] FOOM OPSEC: There Is No Kill Like OVERKILL
Word Count: 295
As FOOM takes off, we must create a place for the Shadow Clones to train covertly, so people don't notice us making so many shadow clones.
- Create entrance (and emergency exit) in secure areas of Gōketsu compound where clan members can be seen entering without suspicion
- Tunnel deep underground. Twice as deep as suspected Byakugan range.
- Set up secret sealing research facility per Kagome's specifications (use purifiers for air, dig using tunneling jutsu, etc.), have Kagome design and implement information security (have AB seals permanently active)
- Primary purpose: cover for training facility
- Secondary purpose: high-OPSEC/Byakugan-resistant area for meetings, storage of classified materials, seal-development, and Project Necromancy
- Set up training facility (with hidden entrance) well below seal base
- Specialized spaces for taijutsu, meditation, etc.
- Design to FOOMers' specifications
- Have emergency food/water etc.
- Hazō implements and maintains Kagome security measures on lower section of base (but have Kagome make the seals)
- Prioritize secrecy over size. Futureproof.
Standard Operating Procedure:
- Any heavy SC training/refills must be done in underground facility
- Give no reason to suspect mass SC training
- Create mass SCs only inside facility, barring emergency
- Treat Sealing Research Base as SECRET, but Training Facility as TOP SECRET
- If you do not need to know about this, you do not know about this
- Do not talk about either base unless under heavy OPSEC or in the facility itself
- Mari, disguise base usage as something else. Have fun ;P
To Asuma
Discuss with Mari and FOOM Clan Members before implementation.
We are making a secret, underground seal research facilityWe will be creating/selling/buying AB seals from TowerThis is a matter of clan secrets
I want to preemptively tell Asuma about the underground sealing facility for a few reasons.
That said, I'm open to changing my mind if someone makes a good argument. I care about the general gist of my plan far more than I do this specific aspect, so I'm willing to compromise if a lot of people in the thread don't like this.
- We're clearing the plan with Mari first, so it will only happen if Mari doesn't think it's a horrible idea.
- I have zero confidence in our ability to keep the Tower from learning about it in the mid to long term. Let's be real, the Tower is absolutely going to find out about this. I'd much rather let them know in advance than have them randomly discover another underground facility and freak out.
- Telling the cover story to the Tower does not endanger the secret to the rest of Leaf. Much like chakra detecting seals we gave the Tower earlier, we can 100% trust the Tower not to blab about our secrets that we shared for natsec. Not if we told them instead of them discovering them on their own, that is.
- The Tower is probably really touchy about underground bases post-Collapse. If we tell him in advance, we won't trigger any of the many underground defenses they have (almost definitely) set up post-Collapse. I can see this preventing a big scare sometime in the future.
- We don't have to worry about the Tower prying as long as we say it's for clan secrets. We keep the details extremely light and only say the few sentences written down.
- We need to stay in the good graces of the Tower and this is a good way to sucker up without actually giving away anything.
- It would be a really fun seen to write! (EJ says it's an 8/10, since he has to save room at the top for rez-ing Jman)
This is both highly frustrating and hilarious as hell. Bah!
I have made my first round of modifications. More incoming. Feel free to suggest anything if you have any ideas. I have wordcount to spare.(This is my first ever plan. Yay!)

- Create entrance (and emergency exit) in secure areas of Gōketsu compound where clan members can be seen entering without suspicion
- Tunnel deep underground. Twice as deep as suspected Byakugan range.
- Set up highest-OPSEC secret facility per Kagome's and Kei's specifications (use purifiers for air, dig using tunneling jutsu, etc.), have Kagome design and implement information security (have AB seals permanently active)
- Primary purpose: cover for training facility
- Secondary purpose: high-OPSEC/Byakugan-resistant area for meetings, storage of classified materials, seal-development (only what is safe to do underground), and Project Necromancy
- Set up training facility (with hidden entrance) well below seal base
- Specialized spaces for taijutsu, meditation, etc.
- Design to FOOMers' specifications
- Have emergency food/water etc.
- Hazō implements and maintains Kagome security measures on lower section of base (but have Kagome make the seals)
- Prioritize secrecy over size. Futureproof.
Offscreen:
- Use research base for regular clan meetings
- Any heavy SC training or regular refilling must be done in underground facility
- Give no reason to suspect mass SC training
- Create mass SCs only inside facility, barring emergency
- Treat Sealing Research Base as SECRET, but Training Facility as TOP SECRET
- If you do not need to know about this, you do not know about this

Check/Optimize with Mari and FOOM Clan Members before implementation.
- Discreetly investigate Konoha's underground defenses/survelience.

I added that to my plan under "Standard Operating Procedure." Good catch!
