If they're disgruntled this tips our hand to an unnecessary degree IMO.
At any rate I'm probably going to specify something.
E: to articulate my thoughts on the Yuno thing, my read is that if Hazo said 'hey just to clarify this is what I actually meant' I would expect a lot more damage and pushback than if we say 'I'm sorry I wasn't sufficiently transparent and forthright with you'. We definitely didn't make it clear that our relationship with Jashin is pretty strictly transactional.

The part that matters to me is whether or not we are saying Hazou deliberately deceived her somehow. Anything that implies we did, I do not support. I do not think Hazou did this deliberately, I think it's slightly more arguable he did it accidentally (and still imo he did not.) But he can think on their talk more and tell her he has more to say just to make sure they're on the same page.
If it's more like a "apologies for poor communication, I think i gave the wrong impression, here is my CCnJ collected thoughts on my opinion of jashin," that's more tolerable for me than apologizing for doing something immoral that fmpov we didn't do.
Ah come on. We gave her a spiel about the fake theology we made up about Jashin to steer her in the right unharmful direction.

YOU think it is fake. Hazou didn't or he wouldn't have been able to persuade Hidan.

Teeeeeechnically if Hidan is considering Hazō his ally we wouldn't need to roll deceit?
You'd need to be absolutely batshit to just - before he even opened his mouth - decide to agree with whatever Hazō says. Fits the character?

It's treason to share it. It's not a Clan Secret. I don't think any of them expects us to do that. And if they do, they should be thwapped.
We just improved them to +8 last update. Plausible they don't have them yet. I'm cutting Dampeners since we haven't finished them yet and timing doesn't work.

I'd also personally prefer not sharing MARS, just straight up. That should really only be in Hazō's kit.
Edit: misunderstood what you were talking about. Still believe what I said ignoring context lol. Imma head to bed.

If possible i would re-word it, because at the moment it's basically "Hazou connect Rocket Boots to MARS and activate it without testing anything"

I still really don't like going on a bandit killing mission with Noburi. It seems like such a pointless thing to do if we can't honestly say why we did it afterwards and it seems like something that is bad for our psychology and especially bad for Noburi if we drag him into it.
@Sir Stompy What's your response to my criticism that Hidan will see right through us if we deliberately don't dedicate those kills to Jashin? Maybe hearing it will assuage my worries.
Also, what do any of you think of taking Mari instead of Noburi? That seems like a decent compromise. She's less likely to be adversely affected.

So -- I have concerns here. Mostly, that if we are to "challenge stagnation", I am unsure our calligraphy will be sufficient.
I'm reconsidering the bandit mission. As far as I can see it we have a couple options. Let's run a quick poll.
1. As planned, if you want this, react like
2. As planned - maybe with Anbu escort instead, dedicate the kills inside the privacy of Hazou's head only, react heart for this one
3. Don't take Nobs, don't take anyone except Dogs, dedicate the kills to Jashin spectacularly, react informative for this one
4. Don't do it at all, react insightful for this one
5. Something else, lmk what you think.
If we can't do it with 42 Callig + 3 (IN) + 3 (Dampeners) + 16 (Prep) = eff 64, which is 2/3 of 96. Then we're just fucked IMO. If you doubt our Callig now you doubt our ability to unstagnate at all with RRB. Our Callig is sufficient for our level.

I reacted with ℹ️ but I'd also be okay with ❤️. Or, as I said, with asking Mari to come along. Honestly, even💡seems better to me than 🚀.
Edit: Wait, no. I missed the word "spectacularly". I am definitely not proposing we do that. It would both really not be good for Hazō's mental development (he is in fact not fully mentally developed yet) and it would muddle the experimental results of seeing what is actually needed to get results, and it would leave really suspicious evidence.
Let's just stick to Hidan's directives. No delegating kills to others, no long distance seals used for last hits. If we're alone we can dedicate the kills to Jashin out loud instead of silently. Maybe cary his symbol in our pocket at most. But no impersonating Yuno. And even verbal dedications should not be religious prostrations.
Here's a phrasing I think would work well:
"These are for you, Jashin. I actually hope you don't like them as much as I think you might. Give me a sign either way."

Oh, me!

- Take a break. You've earned it.
- Tell Kagome to spend some time hanging out with Honoka too, since the two of you are going to be in the sealing mines together for a long while to come.
- Maybe go on a date, idk.
Anyway, current vote status:

So maybe we should look for Earth element jutsu that produces other types of minerals than granite? well, we can make a lot of diamond so it shouldn't be an issue anyway that we don't have corundum any more, but different crystals are different crystals

Probably easier for Hazō to make Earth Pillar derivatives. First one that is permanent, and then ones that produce different composition stones.

True, and since he's worked with Corundum before (even if it got patched), he should still be able to remember the "feel" of it well enough to Replicate it via sealing.
[X][Hyūga] Finalize the deal: Hazō will provide them with sapphire and diamond only, in exchange for a healthy income stream.
