To clarify, you still cannot have an overhang (which was true before the new pyramid rule was introduced). Kei simply does not need to make her pyramid wide enough (i.e. 1-2-3-4-5-6... or wider) via training plans unless you want to raise a new capstone. The proposed Deceit -> 20 plan is invalid.

Thanks for the clarification Paper! Boosting this!
I strongly encourage everyone to vote for this, as it shows Kei that we're respecting her agency (something she's historically been touchy about). If we wait too long, she may yank away even more control of her character sheet.

[X] Training Plan (Kei): Support for Deceit to 20
Although I don't know what Guilty!Shkia might do if he hears about Hazou hiring Akatsuki bounty hunters and asking about Jashin lore....
Presumably the Akatsuki would just find the foreign agents used for the actual killing, but if those agents cough up intel.... this could get interesting.
Do we have a damage control plan for if Hidan publicly brings us Shika/Asuma's head?
I increasingly don't think Asuma's behind this. I think the likely candidates are Shikamaru or some non-leaf party.

Asuma is a big boy who can choose not to endorse his own headhunt if he doesn't think he can survive it.

Unless he has a disposable asset that makes decisions like these outside of his direct control... You know, like Mari.
Hey so, I totally did forget that we had a whole interlude from Conjura's perspective. Looks like she did fail decision theory so badly she got her Clan genocided.
Don't be like her kids. That's a no-no very bad.
Thanks for following the spirit of what was voted in regarding sealing safety rather than the letter. I'm starting to think that the proper sealing safety protocol should just be
[X] Do whatever Paper thinks is reasonable
Having made an infusion on MS7, how does Hazou feel it compares in difficulty to MS6? Roughly the same? Are we good to continue w/o SSA and prep on that one?
Put it on a spike! The classics are classics for a reason.

Cheer? Like this would only be a good thing and not require any form of damage control for us.

I mean, if Hidan the ultra-terrorist shows up at the Goketsu Compound and publicly announces that he killed a Leaf clan head and/or the Hokage on our orders, it would take quite a lot of work to make sure that doesn't get misinterpreted by the other clans and the public at large.
"The only direction I gave Hidan was to find Akane's killers", "This outcome means they were betraying the trust of Leaf and turning on the very people they're sworn to protect", "Asuma himself was there when I commissioned him, and personally endorsed the plan", these are all things that we would have to actually say out loud to convince people that the obvious answer of "Hazou the arch-traitor decided to do a treason by conspiring with Hidan the ultra-terrorist to kill high-ranking Leaf ninja in cold blood." isn't actually true.
After all, if Naruto doesn't buy our story then we promptly die of acute rasengan poisoning. More important than being innocent is being provably innocent.

There is no need to do this. Neither of them are the ones researching the rift. Ami's idea is to distract the Akatsuki once we've opened the rift so that we have time to find Pain/Jirayia without them noticing.
Please add something that had Hazo keep Canvass' more bullshit abilities to himself. We don't need the Akatsuki knowing the fine details.
If we're looking to dig into Jashin lore, it might be worth asking if the name Tama or the title Hierophant means anything to Hidan.

To be clear: Toad somewhere Conjura can access, bounce between human path and summon path repeatedly, provide conjura with loads of chakra water.
Not entirely sure it's good for her to do, what with the difference in human path and sage chakra that seems to be there, but.

Isn't Tama the name of one of the Thinker Clans, too? And haven't we speculated that the Five Clans are the descendants of the Sage's companions?

It is and we have Shika stating as much, yes. That quote in my post is from when Shika tells us about some of the Five companions. Tam, the Hierophant, previously worshipped a now forgotten entity which granted her powers very similar to Hidan's. It's possible that this forgotten entity is Jashin, and that Tama was his High Priest, his Hierophant.

Ah... and wasn't the previous Pangolin Boss called the Hierophant, too? Pantsaa is old enough that this might very well have been the first ever Pangolin Boss.

They were, but Tama likely didn't have a copyright on the word. Still, it's worth following up on.
Yes.
Makes me wonder what the pangolin Hierophant was worshipping.
