True, would probably be best to wait for raising his combat skills in that case

Prepped it.
That was at eff PS 44, so we could almost certainly do it now.
Updated plan with a few more Misc. things it might be worth discussing.

*eyebrow rises* Were you spying on QM chat? Because that literally happened almost word for word. Discussion drifted after that, so there hasn't been a final determination but I definitely wouldn't hold your breath.
@faflec already answered this but I had already gone and done the quoting so I'll post a longer version of what he quoted:
Done!
We have tentative answers and are waiting for consensus.

- Yes.
You fool, once we rejoin Leaf we'll be (((Formerly) Formerly) Formerly) Marked For Death! It'll never end!!!
@eaglejarl @Velorien @Paperclipped
Could get answers answers on these pretty soon?
They're immediately pertinent to our next research projects.
"there are/were hunters in Marsh, asking after Orochimaru" seems like the kind of local info Syoma is likely to be accurate about.
If so, that's.... really interesting. Oro sees Pain as an existential threat, so he's not just giving up on the rift and living the quiet life. I see two main possibilities for what could have happened.
Possibility 1: Akatsuki got pushy.
After Hazou's disappearanc, Akatsuki suspect Leaf is trying to pull something, and decide they want to check Orochimaru's work also. They're hesitant to forcibly breach The Basement, but Itachi tells Naruto "order Oro to give my SC full access, or we carpet-bomb leaf". Naruto relays this to Orochimaru, who decides to bug out rather than roll over(possibly on secret order from Naruto, possibly on his own).
Orochimaru is now in the same position as Hazou: missing, preparing to either Return To Leaf or Yoink.
Possibility 2: Oro!yoink
Orochimaru did the same maths we did, built a runic weapon, noticed he's an S-ranker with >4000cp (enough chakra to summon Manda and still fight on his own), stole the rift for himself, and went missing.
He's working on some mix of rune research and afterlife exploitation, and either constantly relocating or preparing a doom fortress. He may or may not have permakilled Hidan when attacking the rift.
If it's possibility 1, that changes fairly little for Hazou, other than making it Orochimaru who could pull the trigger on a rift assault, rather than Naruto(who currently has no way to manipulate the rift).
If it's possibility 2, that changes ~everything.
Instead of sacrificing every other consideration at the altar of research deadlines, we can step back and chill out a bit.
We have to stay missing, but short/medium term, we can research combat seals, raise combat stats, learn minatosealing, do scroll hunts, follow other plot threads, spam unstagnation adventures, etc. generally ramp up, adventure, and roam around like mini-sanin while we focus on coming into the fullness of our power. Very fun!
Longer term.... Orochimaru is a huge hecking problem, and is now the presumptive final boss of MfD.

When Noburi drains chakra with Vampiric Dew, does the absorbed chakra pass through his normal(1CP) internal chakra system on the way to his barrel, or is it absorbed directly into his water/barrel without passing through Noburi's conventional internal chakra system?

*2 CP
EDIT: Actually, 3 CP now. Noburi has bought two instances of the ACE stunt, not one.

So there's been some discussion about what to do for Noburi's next 20. I think we might want to pick up Pain Supression.
There's no reason to ever level it past 20 and at level 20 it can be applied to Severe Physical Consequences. It lowers the penalty to -AB instead of -2AB at the cost of the natural healing that day.
We probably would usually prefer to heal, but it gives us options if Hazou takes a Severe out on a mission.

Omit Needless Words
Two for two, I think? Looking at the Pangolin Scroll gave a Mental Severe, looking at the Great Seal gave a Mental Severe and reverse-summoning in that condition gave a Physical Severe, and then a Physical Severe from the ghost in the cave.
thanks. bearish on pain suppression then. even acknowledging we'll go into danger more often than previously usual and the sort of danger we'll get is more likely to produce physical rather than mental severes, the relative value of prevention vs cure on top of the drawbacks of pain suppression make me still prefer surging seas or anything else that has an obvious application and could use the XP/20-slot. if nothing else seemed useful then pain suppression would be cool but as it is we have options.

I feel like Hazo keeps eating Mental Consequences so frequently that it's almost like it's on purpose. It's amazing we keep eating them even after grinding our Resolve so far, at some point we might push Resolve to the point where Itachi can Izanagi us and we go 'meh'.
New Stunt Acquired!
Repeated Mental Trauma
I think you're underestimating the frequency with which we need to do combat now. It's a lot. Like we're about to need 1 combat unstag per in-game 2-months. The Severes will come.
We uhhhh do take 2 Mental Consequences on purpose at the end of each research cycle. Hazou has had dozens if not hundreds of Mental Consequences by now.

Didn't that give both?
