Marked for Death: A Rational Naruto Quest

Reader mode
What if we ahead of time get verbal consent from each team uplift member + yuno that they can sacrifice each other, in situations where they think the other member would want to sacrifice themselves but are unable to do it because they are not there? It could mitigate the emotional sting, especially when done reciprocally/at the same time. And yuno already gave consent to hazo.

Less true for isan. But yuno was an outcast, which also hurts mental health

I finaly toke a good look on the character sheets and the fact that hazou when un fucked is almost as good as noburi on raport and empathy surprised me.
Also holy shit hazou is more traumatized than Kei.
To be presice he have a bit more trauma than kei and akane combined and the same bit less than kei and Noburi combined.

Vote tally is currently showing no plans, likely because the interlude reset it @Velorien @eaglejarl @OliWhail .

Also, I am behind on thread conversation, but I feel like I don't need to be up to date to know what happened/almost happened with the shipping chart. Less bad then the youth suit incident, at least.

May this summon Roomba briefly back into the fold.
 
Excellent! Another Gouketsu gave us an explicit permission to sacrifice them for our goals. I think that only leaves Noburi, Snowflake, and Kagome?

I wonder if there's an upper limit to the number of words that can be counted in a Google Doc, and what would happen if you tried to go beyond that.

Yes, ~200000 words (~106​ characters, to be more precise).

Ever-more-elaborate forms of gaslighting is my absolute favourite MfD meme.

It's like these characters would rather feel angry and sad at each other than forgive each other and move on.

Sadly, that's a pretty common thing for people who are under a lot of stress. As I understand it, being able to lash out and hurt others releases pent up stress and gives people a sense of control in a situation where they feel like they have none. Or so others tell me...I've certainly never fallen into that emotional trap myself. Nope, perfectly rational being for my entire life.

Both. Simultaneously.


On a more light hearted note than destruction of familial relations, the bloodline that the woman Orochimaru found perfectly explains Hidan. No need for Jashin to be real messing with the world by giving this guy superpowers, he just has a bloodline.

Tinfoil hat time: Oro created Hidan.

During the Iron-Liberator arc, Jiraya said that Oro knew that he had to keep a low profile (when he was a missing nin) in order to not be dogpiled by everyone. So if Oro wanted an S-level nin that he can manipulate and direct, that's a proxy preventing people from knowing that it's Oro pulling the strings, an immortality bloodline would be just the thing to produce such an S-level nin. Note that Hidan doesn't seem to have a lot of social skills, long-term planning skills, or patience. All things that make Hidan easily manipulatable to someone like Oro.

I think the ages even work out. The sannin are 50-60ish, right? If so, assuming that Oro found the woman in his 20s, that would give Hidan an age range of 20-40, which seems very reasonable.

Granted, I think this probably didn't happen (even though it would make a lot of sense and make Oro more terrifying [which is always the real goal]) just for the doyalistic reason that SV might not allow that.

This implies there are other categories. Like Sunset Racer any%, Youthsuit any%, Keiko any%...

And what would a TAS-assisted run look like?

As the current world record holder for Youthsuit any%, there's a number of small optimizations that the TAS includes that aren't feasibly RTA achievable, but the main differences involved having Shikigami accompany you on a mission that you convince him to send that brings in Kagome 20 frames (chapters) sooner, and then utilizing a sealing failure in your training steps to cause a Youthsuit to materialize shortly before ripping apart the rest of reality, which is a frame perfect RNG manip to pull off.

Yes.
