Technically, Hazou is.Noburi isn't a thread participantInoichi, on the other hand...

He's probably pretty easy to kill if we find him now. That'd be an easy way to get Keiko a chakra blade, if we want one.I wonder if we'll have a young boy with a familiar sword come after us in a couple of decades

Wow, this is actually the first time this thread has made me physically recoil from a suggestion. Good job. (e:
Not being super serious here, just amused me)

I promise I'm a less evil person when it's not fictional characters involved. (And I feel mildly proud of being the first physically recoiling thread suggestion).Wow, this is actually the first time this thread has made me physically recoil from a suggestion. Good job. (e:
Probably? Like, it seemed like a real nice distinctive sword (that he's apparently passing down through the family), so I give it over 50-50 odds of it being a fancy thing.

Well then. I definitely want to get mom out now.
Someone solid to hold the fort if we split the party and it'll keep her from backsliding on the drinking.

I thought Shikigami set that up himself and just kind of roped Mari into it post-facto?

I was under the impression that the jonin pre-planned the whole thing before leaving on their "Suicide mission". Which, though not as deliberately suicidal as Shikigami made out, was still pretty darn suicidal.

I can't believe that this is the quest people diss for thread acting like ninja Jesus
Doubtful. Mari wasn't the main instigator, exactly, and more importantly she looked after us all this time.
I do want mom out. Maybe for her birthday?
- Location
- Yes.
Inoue was one of the main players. So yes, I'd expect Hana to be pretty pissed.

It came up in a discussion recently in another Naruto quest after majority voted for a thing. It was not a very nice discussion, don't worry about it ^^

So I've been thinking of ways to construct the observation towers faster. What about this:
Take a spool of ninja wire and fasten one end to the ground. Apply the 5SB to it, but don't activate it yet. Launch or throw the spool into the air and activate the seal when it reaches its peak altitude. Have someone climb up the line and construct the platform at the top. Someone at the bottom can deactivate the 5SB while the top person holds the line. Top person can then tie the now unsealed line to the platform and let bottom climb up. The process can then be repeated.
Each toss of the spool should get quite a bit of height, especially if we find a good way to launch it. The main difficulty would be constructing the platform while standing on a single spatially-locked spool of wire, but that doesn't seem impossible to do with ninja balance and treewalking.
Thoughts?

My understanding was that 5SBs had to be in exactly the same plane or else Bad Things (or at least non-functioning things). And throwing it up in the air is unlikely to have the wires be flat. That said, I'm not the most knowledgeable on how these things work.

It could be the end portion be set like a kite around a frame with the wire going down a handle to allow for throwing up into the air. The tricky part would be to getting the platform flat, but for the first few times getting height is the more important thing. The last few platforms would be hand leveled for better operation of the watch tower.

@Radvic, the seals would all be on the ground, with the central seal fastened to the wire at the point where it's tied down. The spool would then be thrown, unwinding as it flies up. That should keep it all in one plane.
I hope. I'm also not entirely sure.
The kite idea would also be a great way to get it in the air.
