IIRC he directly said something like that. And given that Date relation with fear was about "fear, what's that, can you eat it?" he actually meant that.Well, he was one of the most powerful daimyo left in Japan, but after Sekigahara Ieyasu was far too entrenched for a single daimyo, however powerful, to have much hope of wresting control.
@Leingod , if you don't mind me asking, are there any Economic reforms/economic plans from Real Life Nobunaga that we could use in this quest?

Given that majority of Ieyasu's power also came from "start this shit, AGAIN?" (as in almost nobody wanted to fight Ieyasu, but almost nobody wanted to fight for Ieyasu) and that Date was like best surviving commander at time... it wasn't that unrealistic. Just risky, bloody and almost certain to go full Sengoku Jidai in generation in case of victory and they just got rid of that shit.I'm not saying he was afraid of Ieyasu, just that he recognized that it would be both damaging to Japan and a very unrealistic goal to go to war over by that time.

I'm not even sure if a leader of large amount of people should use his time to decide what sort of thing should be invented next. Does that sort of thing actually happen? Don't they usually just throw money at the problem?
I'll allow guns if you're gun-ho about it, but it's mostly a choice for the sake of coolness. We're not going to focus on that at all. This is anime-land after all.
Yeah, you are 100% right, and i too agree that we shouldn't be the ones that do the invention, taking the gun as an example, i actually wanted for our Oda to talk to the scientists of Hi no Kuni and Haru/Yuki no Kuni to create it, not ourselves, we need to focus on politics and power, leave the research to the professionals. We just go ther and take the result for ourselfs.
And my idea for our usual equipment that we could do was something like this:
-A Chakra Armour shonen style made from Yuki/Hana no Kuni![]()
-A sword and a gun as our weapons, made from the combination of Yuki/Hana no Kuni
And our gun should be something like this, not super technological, something that makes sense in this type of age but at the same time pretty shonen style that fits and works in Naruto, can be made by other scientist:
EDIT:Tough if we don't want to use weapons, and wanna go full H2H...there is always Toyotomi Hideyoshi's route
Reminder that in the Sengoku Basara game, Nobunaga beat Hideyoshi with his gun in a way that hideyoshi didn't start conquering till Nobunaga's death, it is to remind people that the gun i have in mind isn't a normal one, it's a more magical/chakra one.
For dealing with technology and guns in a shonen setting with fist magic and overpowered badasses I direct you towards One Piece. Guns exist(as does super science mad scientist types) and are in use, they manly end up making the mooks a bit more dangerous then they otherwise would be but in the end mooks are mooks. That said if a badass uses a gun, then they are still badasses, just badass marksmen rather then badass fist fighters or swordsmen. Land of Snow type power armor can be used to make your mooks better, maybe into elite mook* category but it's going to be the badasses and elite badasses who have the ultra special next-gen prototype armors who can take on the other sides badasses(just like cyborgs in One Piece). In the end whether you use technology, ninja jutsu or samurai spirit all it does is change which flavor of badass you are, what matters is whether you are a badass or not.
*Fighters in shonen can be described under the categories of Mook, Elite Mook, Badass, Elite Badass, Top Power Player.
Or Lightning for laser beam action.A chakra-user who uses Fire Release in conjunction with a gun would be pretty sweet.
Yeah but lightning chakra shot from a gun is pretty much going to look like either an anime style laser beam or a giant lightning bolt.
