Which Naruto would know perfectly well, since he was there at the meeting discussing it right afterward, but it's close enough to the truth to maybe be a viable legitimacy-preserving public pretext.
...and therefore not counted among the bodies. (Also, there'd have been the chance of Deidara coming back through the Rift for another go.)
@Left-Hand Mutant could you include something like this in your plan during the scene where we inform Tsuande about our bioseals?
Major plan updates, we are back below 300 words and the tone has shifted considerably towards securing Leaf. I am leaving space in a future update to discuss SC, bioseals, and whatever else.
How are we planning to transport these? I don't think many of them are small enough for storage seals.
If the idea is to hide the situation from Naruto, I'm not convinced by that, but I do agree that talking about it with Tsunade is more important, since she's the one who might be able to actually do something about the situation.
They are all small enough :HazouLook:
The ones not over acid lakes picked up supplies and booked it when they worked out how badass the assault force was.
Will do when I get home, thanks.
This looks really good I'll refactor my fork tonight to follow the timeline/outline.
What are your thoughts on testing the rift's resurrection mechanics by killing random Moon-nin? We're already going to kill them (via Noburi), we may as well check to see stuff like "if we kill 2 ninja 10 meters apart, do they respawn 10 meters apart in the afterlife?"; "if we kill a Moon-nin, bring them back, and then kill them again, do they respawn where they died the first time or the second time?"; stuff like that.
We are maybe not killing them. Spoke to Paper on Discord and he said to hold on regarding that. There's not much point killing them if Rain ninja escaped already.
Requested addition in exchange for a vote. Made a few tweaks to reduce wordcount, but as long as you have something in there about only referring to that rune as "Project Twilight" I'll be happy. I added a link like you did when we first try to implement this without using explicit language to save WC.
Ideally, Tsunade helps us resolve this somehow and no-one else ever needs to know.
Tsunade was just in Leaf and in contact with Naruto, and couldn't confirm any particular Akatsuki in Leaf.
Why can't this wait until we get back to Leaf?
Orochimaru coded but I am tempted. Anyone object/approve?
See Discord for my counteroffer.
Awkward, but we may not be killing them and us arguing for killing them when it may not be happening is too OOC for the team to not start screaming in snakes.
Well damn
Seems iffy - whether they're in a location that isn't plausible for random Leaf-nin is just a matter of luck, except maybe if it's Kisame and/or Konan. Also risks rune infosec (if just ninja-radar) or blows it completely (if force domes & RERs), but I guess the secret wasn't going to last much longer anyway, and it's not like I have a better idea for what to do about them.
I think the CBA on Orochimaru's presence given that we uncover an Akatsuki pair in Leaf is not worth the payoff.
Ideally we'd want to be engaging outside the city anyway. What's Mandaa's overland travel speed, how long can Oro keep the boss summon active if starting from a full charge? That is, how far away could he be and still theoretically contribute to a zoo rush?
