Is that so. I'd assumed that Light had just gotten bored and turned around before it hit it.

You didn't know? Kagome is literally his expy. His introductory update was called "Say Hello, Twitch".

Yeah, that's a conversation that definitely won't have consequences. You should totally buy stock in the MfD equivalent of Xanax first, because they're going to have their best quarter ever.
There's actually a dedicated website now.

You guys do remember our warning about what would happen if you went into an extended timeskip, right?

Wow, I thought we all liked Kagome. Why would you try to give him a heart attack?

Events would continue to progress around you, but you (the players) wouldn't have any agency during the skipped time, so you wouldn't be able to respond. Given the number of different agendas being pursued within the MfDverse, and how many of those potentially affect you...

You know, I want a jutsu that lets us move discretely. From point to point without traversing the space in between.

So I just caught up to this, reading most of the Omakes and some of the plans along the way. I literally made an account for the express purpose of saying well done all! To both the writers and those playing it, I thoroughly enjoyed what I read and hope to (maybe) take part in the future.
Keep being awesome!

Here's a question that probably has been brought up: Keiko is thinking of upping mobility as her request from Jiraiya.... Why not just learn the Wind Wall from Mari (used it to chase down Bonesaw Ninja Lady, I think) and use the request to Jiraiya on something we don't already have access too? Is the chakra expenditure prohibitively high?
It seems to me it could also be used, if sparingly, to add energy to thrown projectiles in the same manner.

Upper limit of +3 die at level 12. It's good in the short-term (5XP for the first die) but not for later.

To elaborate on my previous post, it's not just the upper limit, but also the expense. Wind Wall has requirements: (2)*Wits, (2)*Control, (3)*Resolve. Right now, Keiko has:
Wits 4
Control 5
Resolve 4
This means that her max Wind Wall level is 8, which would give her +2 Weapons/TacMove die if she chooses to level it. Note that XP costs are halved because I assume we level Zephyr's Reach to 10 beforehand. This is a 19XP sink which should also be factored in.
Zephyr's Reach 10: 19XP
Wind Wall 4 (+1 die): 5XP
Wind Wall 8 (+2 die): 13XP
To advance to +3 die Keiko would need to increase her Wits and Control to 6, a 34XP sink. She would then have to level Wind Wall normally, applying the XP discount partially due to advancing past her max Wind Release level.
Attributes: 34XP
Wind Wall 12 (+3 die): 32.5XP
So to sum up:
Zephyr's Reach 10: 19XP
Wind Wall 4: 24XP
Wind Wall 8: 37XP
Wind Wall 12: 103.5XP
You can see that there's a massive XP requirement to get from Wind Wall 8 to 12: this is (partially) the attribute requirement. We can butcher this requirement by spending it in conjunction with other skills: Wits (Awareness, TacMove, Stealth) and Control (Summoning), which should allow us to spend the XP with other things, and level Wind Wall itself at some future point. That is still a 32.5XP sink, however, and it honestly isn't worth it.
tl;dr Wind Wall can give the team +2 TacMove/Weapons die easily, but the third die is stupid expensive and we can't go above that. Asking Jiraiya for team-based mobility-enhancing jutsu is a reasonable favor. Though I'd want Keiko to notice that it shouldn't be the only favor, and that she should be focusing on other possible jutsu as well (Hazou got two jutsu ffs).
Side note: The damn technique doesn't move with you, and you have to cast it multiple times for a consistent boost (see: Inoue chasing Arikada in the Worm chapter).

Oh wow, thanks for the explanation! I definitely didn't consider the expenditure of xp to raise stats associated with the jutsu. It also makes sense that a defensive oriented jutsu (seemingly) would be unsuited to mobility in the long term. Square peg, round hole and all that. I agree that Keiko stands to ask for more than the 1 jutsu.

- how about no
Eh, I'd start small with only one clone and work my way up to find my limit. Even if I can only double my potential productivity I'd be happy.
Although I'd be disappointed in myself if I was only able to handle ten clones. I'd like to think I'd be more capable than canon's lovable idiot, narrativium nonewithstanding.

I will note that one of these two goals can be achieved by simply leveling stealth.

Petition to rename stealth "shutting the hell up no jutsu", and leveling it until Hazou knows when to use it in social situations.

Is there a contingency or goal we could add to action plans which helped this? Because leveling diplomacy didn't actually help much.
Edit: Though, honestly, if we could just sink 55 XP into a skill (bringing it to 10) which made Hazou as good at talking as Noburi, I'd be sorely tempted to do so.

Hazou turns into Aisha, causing Kagome to go on a rampage thinking Leaf kidnapped him. The entire team is killed. Hazou jumps off the Hokage Mountain.
