Missing-nin aren't people, though - that's how they don't count as leaks for clan secret purposes - so Kei-the-missing-nin can't be anybody's sponsor. Snowflake would simply be a foreign entity which Leaf has previously recognized the existence of, but (assuming Tenten also goes missing) has no current valid treaties with. Absent active hostilities, that's a blank slate which diplomacy could fill in all sorts of ways.
[X] Action Plan: Waiting
Word Count: <299
Word Count: <299
- Sanity Check with Kei/Kagome
- Wait for word of Nobs on the Seventh Path
- Summon a member of the Horizon Chasers every DoB rest day. First swear them to secrecy, then ask if they've spotted any irregularities with Noburi on the Seventh Path
- Ask them if Noburi has asked them to pass you any messages, be alert for passphrases indicating that the team has extracted from Leaf
- If he has been seen after an absence or tried to pass word of extraction, meet with him.
- Listen to the tale of extraction and pass him orders to meet us with his half of the team halfway to the chakra water cave in Wind. Obfuscate the final destination.
- When meeting with the team, get there first, then set up a couple miles away in a concealed position with only a Summon at the meeting point. Wait for the Summon's confirmation it's safe before meeting with the rest of the team.
- In the meantime, research Capacitors, then Icarus
- No prep, yes DoB, reroll for safety only.
- Read Sealing Notes on DoB rest days.
- End the update if there hasn't been word of Nobs and Icarus is complete.

Shadow Clones might be instantly lethal to Kagome. Or, they could be substantially easier for him than for us. It's hard to tell how his sealing injury will interact with them. Will experiencing multiple timestreaks simultaneously be trivially easy for him or impossibly hard?
If we give Kagome Shadow Clone, it should be in a plan where we remind him about this and let him make his own choice about whether it's safe to proceed.
For that reason, I suggest we just do a normal interlude right now.

You're aware the implication there is that he already did that and that's why he's fucked up, yeah? 'Cause he didn't do the shadow clone training (that gets you the Hardened Mind aspect).

So what I'm hearing is Kagome is not Resolve limited on his shadow clones, having already experienced and survived a much more massive merging of timelines

My understanding is that a long time ago in this universe, a Cloud Sealmaster named Kagome Yu experienced a sealing failure that merged his mind with an unknown amount of parallel versions of himself.
As a result, he experiences paranoia, delusions, and memory issues like Jiraiya said would happen from a human brain experiencing multiple timestreams at once. He also sometimes tells us about things that one of his parallel selves learned (like the information about the Karasu that the Uchiha made sure was destroyed in this universe).
@faflec and @Inferno Vulpix, is that all correct to your understanding?
I believe it's unclear whether the existing parallel timestreams in Kagome's brain would make it more difficult for him to absorb new parallel timestreams from shadow clones. I could easily see him having a much higher TN to resist clone sickness or his existing parallel selves being accounted for in the amount of hours he has to resist once the clone dispels.

- Can’t say. I know my momentum.
No no no. We need to step into the rift and sanity-check with Nagato first.
You could even say that Hidan inflicted an edge case on him.
No no. Ask Jashin to explain why we don't go to bear.
We should date Snowflake, then trick the Nara Keiko fanclub into thinking that Snowflake is Kei and that we're dating Kei. Because there's absolutely no way that it would end badly for us.The Hazō Fanclub is going to be so mad at Kei when Snowflake marries Hazō

People, can we please make sure this doesn't win?
[X] Action Plan: Waiting
Just to make sure that this action plan beats Shadow Clone for Kagome this cycle.

Send a Dog specializing in detecting injury/lies/mind control genjutsu bullshit. Shadow Clones can be fooled more easily by Itachi as they are based on a human mind.
EDIT: Or a Pangolin, or an Arachnid.

Then have Cannai verify that Dog isn't genjutsu'd

- Yes.
Also this, yes.Then have Cannai verify that Dog isn't genjutsu'd
You want to make a contract with and Summon this Dog?
A Dog that won't specialize in human minds and one that has never seen a genjutsu since it isn't used on the Seventh Path?
This uhhh doesn't seem worth it.
- Location
- Yes.
Genjutsu will be harder but we want a Dog capable of noticing that something's up with the team (coercion etc).
It's better than sending a SC which can be mindwhammy'd by Itachi.

- He/Him
Just send Canabisu, it's fine. He can talk to Mari and get her stamp of approval. If the Sages also sign off on Noburi (and ideally, inspect everyone else too) I think we're good.
Seems fine to me.
