How would he even get incorrect information on clans and abilities and such? He's consort to the kage and grew up in Rock his whole life. This would be like Hazou being tricked into thinking the Hyuuga didn't have Byakugan or something. Or more accurately, like an important Leaf native like Ino being tricked into being wrong about all the clans. That would require like... years of prep. Very implausible imo
Less implausible if he was an oblivious idiot who was given plausible-sounding but ultimately untrue information on the details of the enemy the same way we gave out information on our abilities during the Chunin Exams and for that matter how do we know he's the actual official consort instead of merely thinking he is
It seems extraordinarily implausible to me that he could reach jonin if he were that oblivious. Plus we don't even know who half the Rock clans are, so they would still be giving us information. Also, how would he be tricked into thinking he's the consort of the kage? This is some Truman show-tier conspiracy for imo marginal gain compared to the scope of the conspiracy. How long in advance would they have needed to start preparing this?
Akane's patrol mission was scheduled before she left to get Shirogane, I thought, Asuma wouldn't have known she'd get so traumatized in advance.
Maybe they intentionally cycle people between scorch squad missions and recuperation ones, so that ninja have time to piece their souls back together without endangering an important mission?
Turns out Shirogane was an incel…
A lot lower than they used to be.
Anyone we know among the twelve?
Has Rock answered with their own scorch squads of similar amount? Did they burn any Fire towns in comparable size to the ones Asuma had burned on his command?
She gave similar advice – there's no silver bullet, everyone needs to be there for Akane but not press too hard.
After Akane and Yuno's earlier, pre-Shirogane mission obtained useful intelligence on Rock's southern defences, Akane and Yuno are heading to the Rock-Fang border as part of a larger team with Inuzuka and Aburame chūnin trackers and a Nara genin analyst in order to locate and wipe out a series of less-defended border outposts and seize any intelligence they possess.
The scroll hunt team left some time ago and aren't due back for another two weeks. No one that you know by name was on it.

Disappointed but not surprised
Oneiros, you have stated many times in the past that you do not care to help maintain the sanity of our clan at all and are a hedonist, that means little coming from you.
Literally what the fuck are you talking about? I don't like to play mental health quest because it puts my own mental health at risk. The entire point of the post is that if we proactively do things kajui are much less likely to appear. So if we would have been hunting the scroll with Akane we could have avoided having her begin to spiral
We don't know whether or not that's actually true and 'if only we'd done what I suggested all would be well' is rarely helpful.
The point isn't if we did what I suggested all would be well. The point is we have been told by EJ that doing proactive things reduce the risk of a Kajiu coming up. We could have done anything proactive and decreased the odds of Akane having a mental break. We have to deal with this know and that's fine. I just want us to realize that in the future we can increase the odd of avoiding stuff like this by doing proactive things.
I disagree that we could have reduced the odds that Akane was going to have a mental break. I think that our path to godhood is long enough that the realities of the shinobi world are harsh enough that she inevitably would have been ordered to commit a war crime before we changed the world to the point where that doesn't happen.
To perhaps clarify, what I mean is that I don't think that this mission was something that happened because the QMs had a surplus of bandwidth that we could have absorbed with other things. I'm using kaiju as a stand in for 'upsetting thing that happens seemingly out of the blue due to things happening offscreen that we may or may not have been aware of'.
If we didn't see the fight from the Rock Jōnins point of view I'd agree with you, but unless the Tsuchikage successfully kept the information hidden from their lover I don't think it's accurate. Plus at that point wouldn't they not send the Chūnin, since they're planning on losing the fight anyways?
I must stress that when the QMs expressed the concept you are referring to, they coached it in the softest possible terms. This framing is extremely different to the point of being (unintentionally) misleading.
