Nobody can trust anybody. That should be obvious by this point in human history.

"Special Jonin" isn't a skill tier. It's what you call a ninja who's minmaxed one skill into "Jonin", but the rest of their skills are "Chunin" at most.

I know. But I needed a "intermediate between Chuunin and Jounin" phrase and just went with that.
Thoughts on my estimations otherwise?
Hmn.
The easiest way to estimate skill levels is not to do so. Just pull out the character sheets, call 0-19 "low genin", 20-39 "high genin", 40-49 "chunin", and 50+ "jonin" (ignoring S-rank boundaries because we don't know exactly where they are and won't hit them).
That doesn't take into account that not all skills are primary skills, but frankly we don't know the boundaries for non-primary skills, so anything there will be guessing anyway.
I think your estimates are a bit off. For example, you have Noburi's WW down as mid chunin, but it's 33, which would would be high genin. You also have Hazou's Taijutsu down as "potential for jonin if he learns Kagome's style", but at 50 dice not including gauntlets, he's already there.

Oh, right. I always forget that 50 dice is jounin because we inevitably aim for 60 dice to be safe.

Well, there's always the question of misaligned timestream insertion. Just because we were inserted into the quest doesn't mean we were inserted into the quest's present...
Anyway, now you know why Jiraiya ended up not killing you: author intervention.
(Assuming, of course, that CFG is actually canon in MFD, a subject on which we have been silent.)

Huh, so hokage reaction speed is around 12 milliseconds. This is nice to know.

I don't remember--what was the winning topic of the vote?
Anyways, who cares? It's your story. It's nice that you let us vote and all, but really--it's your story.

I believe it was something about training with Pangolins; there was a push for a chapter where we'd learn more of their capabilities.

Ah, but you forget: @eaglejarl Kagome is best Kagome.
Are you implying some kind of... collaboration might be best? Gosh, I wonder what the two of you working together on a project might look like?

Personally, I'd prefer to spend these interludes as much as possible on either learning important tactical information (e.g. relative combat strength of our team in relation to an average ninja, what our summons are capable of, what other teams we have at the fort can do), important strategic information (e.g. how other clans view clan Goketsu, anything at all about the merchant alliance, what are clans in Mist thinking, what possibilities can we achieve from the Pangolin or Toad clan (is summoner-locating jutsu possible? That'd help with finding Naruto), or just finding out as much general information about the world by e.g. getting setting dumps from Jiraya. Even just asking him what things are known to be possible to do in sealing and what aren't would help a long way.) or by retroactively doing proactive things about our problems (like that thing with Minami clan. Other examples can be giving Jiraya blanks for all seals we have seen so far so he could pass it to Leaf sealing research team, giving Kabuto some research ideas on which he could work while we are at the exams, getting contacts in the Leaf sealing research division for future cooperation or something else entirely)
I dunno how this desire to munchkin the interludes sits with the QMs though, who (I presume) would rather write about fun cool stuff.
