Hazou: ...what.
Keiko: (enter stage left) It's okay guys, I got another cone. You can stop fighting now.
Mari: (frozen in shock for a second, snaps out of it) NO WAI-
Keiko: (licks ice-cream, cringes for a second, followed by an uncaring expression with nothing behind her glassy eyes)
Mari: No... (falls to her knees) NO!
Keiko: (a cloud of chakra-construct nanobots emerge from her skin and begin converting the matter around them into raw materials)
Hazou: Wha-?
Mari: She... With her bloodline... The ice-cream... Hazou, she got brain-freeze.

Well you could pull an @eaglejarl and make a new quest while QM'ing this one at the same time. You could structure it in such a way that during, say, a 2 hour IRL period you could have multiple quick votes. You would still have the regular overall schedule so if people really couldn't commit to a set period of time you could have a vote to do something time consuming. The players should also be informed of what situations would trigger a rapid fire vote scenario (i.e. the players decide to attack a bandit camp or plead the protagonist's case before the local lord). Random encounters could also have the option to vote rapidly, set a plan of attack and follow it (punch until the enemy stops moving), bravely run away, write-in, etc. The authors would also need a plausible in game explanation to limit the players' ability to vote rapidly all of the time since real life may prevent said authors from doing a rapid fire round every update. Maybe there should be a long voting session for an overall meta-plan and the rapid fire voting only covers the minutiae? So many possibilities...
I think it could be done (with a sizable amount of effort) but there needs to be enough interest to necessitate the differences.

"That's a lot of codewords," Yūjin said in amusement.
"There are a lot of possible scenarios to prepare for," Keiko said.
Yūjin shrugged. "Okay, uh...let's go with...oh, I dunno...'dango', any mention of Princess Genchi, 'boudoir', 'lingerie', 'panty shot', and 'bubble bath', respectively."
Inoue-sensei raised an eloquent eyebrow. "'Panty shot'?" she said archly.
Yūjin shrugged. "What can I say? I was under pressure. Still, it's already been set so it's too late to change it now. Anyway, I've got to run. You kids have fun now, okay?" He slammed a smoke bomb into the ground and was gone.
Hazō turned to Inoue-sensei. "I know the dispelling didn't work, but I don't suppose that was one of your training sessions using that super-genjutsu of yours?" he asked hopefully.
Inoue-sensei shook her head, looking unusually serious. "I swear, it wasn't. This is the real deal as far as I can tell."
"How did you not see him?" Noburi demanded. "You're a jōnin, how did he sneak up on us?"
Inoue-sensei's shook her head again. "I don't know," she said. "Shikigami and I used to do E&E practice together; it was a tossup who would win, but I usually at least had a sense that he was around. Maybe I'm having an off day or maybe this Yūjin really is that good."
Noburi sighed. "Fine," he said. "Okay, we need to infiltrate a village full of samurai with an unknown number of ninja. So, how are we doing this?"
o-o-o-o
"Halt!" the guard said, drawing his sword and holding it in a guard stance that owed a lot more to popular entertainment than to actual swordsmanship.
Inoue-sensei slung the chūnin's battered and unconscious body off her shoulder and heaved it forward so it landed at the guard's feet with a wince-inducing thump.
"Kid, this has already been a long day," she growled. Her scowl was clear even through the veil she wore across the lower half of her face. "I missed breakfast, I really need a bath, and I'm not in the mood for bullshit. Take this guy to your medbay and let me go talk to your leader."
"Who are you?" the guard demanded.
"Oh, for kami's sake," Inoue-sensei muttered. "I'm the one who just beat the crap out of your chūnin, you idiot. These are my students." She waved casually over her shoulder at where the genin stood, trying to simultaneously look casual and also keep a watchful eye out for threats.
Inoue-sensei turned and cupped her hands to her mouth. "Hey!" she yelled. "Guards! Olly olly oxen free! I need some guards here! Preferably some with a brain!"
"Hey!" the guard shouted, gesturing threateningly with his sword. "This isn't a joke! Get on the ground or I'll kill you!" He waved the sword again. "I warn you, the Liberator has trained me in the arts of the samurai!"
"Kaoru," Inoue-sensei said, not looking at the guard.
rolz.org said:
Hazō blurred forward, snatched the sword out of the guard's hands, and smashed him to the ground with an overhead elbow strike. The man went down like a bag of bricks, screaming in pain as his collarbone shattered.
Inoue-sensei glanced over. "Excessive, maybe?" she said. "I mean, sure, positive impressions can take many forms, but there's such a thing as too positive."
Hazō shrugged. "You heard him: he was trained in the deadly arts of the samurai. I couldn't afford to take chances."
Noburi facepalmed.
Inoue-sensei shrugged back. "Yeah, fair enough. Anyway-- Ah, good, here you are! Good morning, gentlemen."
A dozen guards arrived at full civilian sprint, swords drawn. "What's going on here?" the leader demanded.
Inoue-sensei rolled her eyes. "Obviously, we're a bunch of ninja who just beat the crap out of your friends—first that patrol chūnin and then this idiot with the sword. Now, since I have yet to beat the crap out of you, it should be obvious that I'm here for a job. So, take me to your boss before I lose the last few shreds of patience that I am so generously holding onto."
The guard looked at her for a moment, then sheathed his sword and waved the others to do the same. "My name is Tanaka," he said with a bow. "Please, follow me."
Tanaka and two of his underlings escorted them to a small building in the center of town. Along the way the team were treated to the sight of dozens of new houses going up. The most interesting thing was the attitude of the peasants doing the work: excited, hopeful. Smiles were common and everyone moved with an energy that was very unusual for civilians.
The house wasn't ostentatious—one story, door opening directly into a sitting room the size of which suggested there were only two or three other rooms.
"Would you please wait here?" Tanaka asked with a bow. "Refreshments will be brought momentarily."
"Hn," Inoue-sensei said, dropping bonelessly into one of a dozen surprisingly comfortable chairs that circled a low table. "Make sure there's some teriyaki," she said. "I love teriyaki." She folded her hands over her stomach and let her eyes fall closed.
Tanaka bowed again and waved for one of his men to go fetch their food. Tanaka ducked through the inner door.
With the second guard standing uncomfortably in the corner the team couldn't talk without being overheard, so they sat in silence until a tall, broad-shouldered man walked in with Tanaka trailing a step behind.
"Good morning," the tall man said. His voice was a rich baritone with the tones of a trained orator; he stood straight and proud despite showing none of the signs of ninja training. "I am Fukui Taiki, the head of this village. How may I help you?"
"You can get our first month's pay," Inoue said, not opening her eyes. "A hundred thousand for me, fifty for each of the kids. Then show us where we're going to be staying and get us a hot bath."
Fukui laughed. "I must apologize; I seem to have forgotten the occasion of your hiring. It might have something to do with the veils."
Inoue-sensei opened one eye and gave him an oh really? look before letting it close again and settling a little more comfortably into the chair with a distracting wriggle. "Don't be stupid," she said. "You've got...what, six ninja? Eight?"
Fukui smiled. "A bit more than that," he said. "Our cause is righteous, and we have attracted people from all walks of life. Even ninja."
"Yeah, whatever," Inoue-sensei said. "Look, your people are probably chūnin at best. I'm a jōnin, you can't afford to not hire me. On top of that, my kids can beat your ninja into the ground. We're cheap at twice the price but I'm in a good mood so I'm giving you the friends and family discount."
"I see," Fukui said. "That's very kind of you."
"What can I say? I'm a kind person," Inoue-sensei said. "Speaking of which, wasn't there going to be some teriyaki?"
"I'm sure it will be along momentarily," Fukui said. "As to hiring you, I'm afraid I can't afford your prices. I could offer sixty thousand for you and ten each for your...genin, I'm assuming?"
Inoue-sensei's eye drifted open and locked on his face. She didn't appear to move, but suddenly Hazō was uncomfortably aware of what a beautiful woman his teacher was. Fukui shifted slightly and swallowed, clearly feeling the impact himself.
"Ninety and forty," Inoue-sensei said.
"I really couldn't go any higher than one hundred thousand for the four of you," Fukui said. "I will leave it to you how you divide it."
"One twenty," she said.
"One ten," Fukui replied. "And you will be paid at the end of the month like any other employee." He studied her seriously for a moment. "I'm afraid that's really my final answer. There's only so much tea in the cup."
"Include room and board and you've got a deal," Inoue-sensei said. "I'll warn you, Kaoru eats like a pig."
Fukui laughed and bowed. "Done," he said. "Tanaka, would you please escort our honored employees to their new house? I believe the crews are finished with number eighteen."
Tanaka bowed to his leader and then to the team. "Would you please follow me?"
o-o-o-o
"I have to admit, I didn't think that would work," Hazō said. He sat back with a sigh, enjoying the pleasant heat of the tub.
"Of course it worked," Inoue-sensei said from where she and Keiko lounged in the tub on the other side of the divider. "I'm the brash and abrasive one that everyone hates and yet wants to sleep with. Keeps the attention on me, lets you three be much more in the shade. Just remember to keep your veils on under your transformations."
"Yes, sensei," the three genin chorused.
o-o-o-o
"Excuse me," Kei said diffidently to the doctor. "My name is Kobayashi Aimi. I believe you have two patients who came in yesterday—a ninja and a guardsman? I was hoping I might speak with them."
"You family?" the doctor asked.
"No, sensei," Keiko said. "I simply wanted to apologize to them. My sensei is the one who put them here."
The doctor's eyebrows went up. "That's a first," he said. "A ninja apologizing for hurting someone?"
Kei shifted uncomfortably and looked away. "Sensei is a great woman but she can be...impulsive," she said. "She is not always as patient as she could be. May I enter?"
The doctor studied her for a moment. "Sure," he said. "It's not like I could stop you anyway. Matsumoto is out already—he just needed a sling and some plaster—but Kawaguchi is in fourteen." He waved down the hall.
Kei bowed and walked to number fourteen. She knocked softly on the door and called, "Hello? May I come in, please?"
"Yeah," said a voice from inside. Keiko slipped inside to find the ninja sitting up in bed, a bandage on his head and a cast on a leg and an arm.
"Who're you?" he asked.
Kei bowed. "I am Kobayashi Aimi," she said. "My teacher is Takenaka Noe. She is...the one who attacked you yesterday. I am here to apologize for her actions. They were uncalled for and excessive."
The ninja stared at her in amazement. "Did she send you?" he asked.
Kei shook her head. "No," she said. She shifted uncomfortably, one hand gripping the opposite arm. "She is unaware that I am here. I would appreciate it if you did not enlighten her. She would be angry, but I felt it was necessary. She is a good woman, ultimately. Merely...impulsive."
The ninja snorted. "Yeah, well, your 'impulsive' teacher broke my leg in two places, shattered my humerus, and gave me a concussion. I'm still seeing double."
Kei hung her head. "I am very sorry," she said quietly.
The ninja sighed. "Yeah, me too. S'what I get for tangling with a jōnin. She is a jōnin, right? I've never seen anyone move like that."
"Yes," Kei said. "She is very skilled." The last was said proudly.
The chūnin nodded, then winced and touched his head. "Yeah, that's for sure. Anyway, thanks for the apology, kid. Now, if you don't mind, I'm going to lie here, try not to puke, and see if I can get some sleep."
Kei bowed and slipped out.
o-o-o-o
"Hey there," Noburi called. "You guys mind if I join you?"
The trio of teenagers looked up as he walked over. "Sure," a red-headed girl said. "You're new, huh? Where are you from?"
"Hoshino, be polite!" scolded the other girl. She was perhaps a year older than her friend, fifteen instead of fourteen, with streaky blonde hair that she wore loose. "Hello," she said, smiling at Noburi. "I'm Fujioka Rina. It's nice to meet you." She eyed Noburi's blond-blue-buff and just-her-age form with an appreciative smile, twirling her hair around one finger artlessly. The boy sitting next to her glowered.
Noburi gave them a friendly smile and a small bow. "It's a pleasure," he said. "I'm Mukai Tsubasa; I'm a genin studying under Takenaka Noe. We just got hired yesterday. Mr. Fukui told us to take a day to settle in and meet people." He winked at Hoshino. "Best assignment ever."
Hoshino's eyes went wide. "A genin, really?" she said, leaning forward in excitement. "Ooh, that's so cool! I never met a ninja before my family came here."
"I did," the boy said. "A team of them stayed at my dad's inn. Didn't pay, took a case of the best sake with them when they left."
Noburi winced. "I'm sorry for that," he said sympathetically. "They shouldn't have done that. Ninja are supposed to protect people, not abuse them. That's what sensei has always taught us, anyway."
"Uh-huh," the boy said.
Noburi gave him an apologetic smile and then turned back to the girls. "So," he said with a smile. "I don't suppose you ladies would like to show the new guy around? Maybe tell me a little about yourselves?"
The girls were on their feet so fast it would have made a credible Body Flicker.

That is some weird ass bargaining mister liberator. Offer one hundred and twenty thousand first then insist that you can't go higher than one hundred thousand?
[evil] Assassinate the liberator in his sleep. Do the same to anyone he trained. There: WW4 averted.

What are you talking about? He offered ninety thousand at first -- 60 for Inoue and 10 for each of the kids. Furthermore, that was always the amount that he offered. Honest.
Also, could we potentially trade intel on the Samurai People's Front (tossers!) for sealing lessons? Chocolate is needlessly annoying to obtain.
I am getting the feeling that this entire Liberator thing is not as serious as we feared. These guys are absurdly understaffed given that they apparently only have 6 Chunin and the Samurai Training... Well, if it works we haven't seen shit of it yet.
Maybe he really is just a bandit lord with a lot of charisma, a windfall of money and enough chuzpa to capitalize on ancient legends.
What i am currently wondering about are those Big Four the recruiters have been talking about. They can't mean the Chunin, can they? We really ought to look into that.
I definitely don't see these clowns kicking off Ninja War IV, but maybe we need to look underneath the underneath.

Our current short term goals:
0) Not Die
1) Not needlessly lose any assets we currently hold
2) Maintain good relations with Jiraiya
2.1) Maintain good relations with the People's Front of Iron ("How much do you hate the ninja?" "A lot." "Okay, yer in.")
3) Reach Sealing 10
4) Solidify ourselves as chunin-level
5) Search out specialist teachers for the other two among the samurai-nins

We're likely watched right now so best to lay low and act normal for the time being, so no going through papers and breaking into places we aren't supposed to be.
As for seal training, best to wait till we have a mission so we have a legit reason to leave the place. We can't be caught sneaking if our leave is authorized after all.

So my first thought was that 'buff' is a kind of hair cut and Noburi's hair is blond and blue, and then that he's blond, blue eyed and fit. And now I'm not sure at all. Explain, please?

- Yes.
It sucks because their 'doctor' is just a civilian, not a ninja: I'd have loved to get Keiko working with the guy and get us a medic-nin.
I'd personally want us to start us on missions that involve us committing mass murder of local chakra monsters and actual bandits. We want to have as much free time for private investigation but still be involved in the village, plus it gives us XP too. I don't think Inoue would want (or really be allowed) to do this since she's a Jonin and thus overqualified for minion-killing: she'd be better-served to infiltrate Yuni or something. Or stay and guard, freeing up the other ninja to do the extermination jobs.

@eaglejarl How up-to-date are the Character Sheets?

For reference, code words we have now:
A keyword identifier for (hopeful) amnesty in case the camp gets roflstomped by the allied nations while we are infiltrating it. - "dango"
A sentence that we can bring up in casual conversion to (optionally) reveal ourselves to fellow infiltrators. - any mention of Princess Genchi
An emergency word that we can blurt out in case we find ourselves in ninja combat with someone who might also be infiltrators. - "boudoir"
A word to identify us to our Friend again. - "lingerie"
Another word in case we want to send someone else to our Friend who is friendly. "panty-shot"
Another word in case we want to send an enemy to our Friend. (If we get tortured, or if there is someone we want to get killed, but we can't do it for some because they are too strong or it would be too suspicious) - "bubble-bath"
So, it looks like Keiko's running damage control on our entrance, and discovered they don't have a medic-nin, and maybe getting an in with one of the other ninja, Noburi's working on the civilian side of things, and we're free to do whatever. Inoue's likely to do stuff at the Liberator level. Here's some useful things we can find out about the village:
On that note, sparing is kind of dangerous since we're henged. If anyone lands a hit on us, it'll drop and they'll know we are hiding who we are. We may be able to run damage control on that (because honestly, they should know we're missing-nin and may have enemies), but it's something to keep in mind. We should find out what missions we'll be sent on soon enough (tomorrow we'll get a mission presumably). So, I see a couple generic actions which would be useful here:
1. Go find a ninja. Play the part of moderately nervous genin. Sound them out for what types of missions we'll be going on, how many other ninja we have (will we get sent with anyone?), stories of past missions that ninja has gone on, and maybe some friendly sparing if they want (and are willing to go spar somewhere not in public).
2. Go find the Samurai. Inquire about the Samurai teachings, and if we could learn some techniques. Offer pointers on their combat stances maybe? Offer to spar (assume we are good enough our henge won't break in combat). Try to find out if these are at all competent warriors, where they come from, what they're doing, and why they're so happy.
3. FISTS OF JUSTICE! Who knows what mission we'll be sent on or how easy or hard it will be. We need to train. Go find somewhere to train up our Taijutsu, any edge we get is good. Also try to boost awareness and stealth maybe? We have the XP, just need to find the training.

- Mundane questions (how big is the village, how is it fed, how much traffic does it get, why are all the civilians so happy) - Noburi's got this covered
- How many ninja are there?
- How strong are their ninja? (patrol was Chunin level, is that above or below their average?)
- Where are they getting their ninja from? - Keiko might got this (depending on how good her apology was)
- How many Samurai are there? - Noburi's got this
- Are their Samurai actually capable? (not bothering roll suggests no, but might as well check)
- What are the goals of the village (both stated and unstated goals)? - (Noburi's probs got this)
- How does the village plan on meeting those goals? - (Noburi might got this)
- Why are they not afraid of an allied ninja offensive?
- Who are the big four? - (Noburi's probs got this)
- What assets do they have? - No full time medic-nin

You had it right with this one: "he's blond, blue-eyed, and fit." It was an idiomatic usage that maybe doesn't translate to the page properly.
They should be completely up to date. There's an entry that says "up to date as of post #"; I updated the XP totals after posting and I believe all skill buys have been applied. If there's anything missing let us know.
In case it wasn't clear: both Keiko and Noburi were assigned to those actions. Inoue told Keiko "go make nice with the ninja and use me as the bad guy" and told Noburi "go chat up the village girls".

For reference:
Disguises:
Inoue = Takenaka Noe
Hazou = Kaoru
Noburi = Mukai Tsubasa
Keiko = Kobayashi Aimi
??? = Yujin (still don't know if he is Jiraiya; he could be someone pretending to be Jiraiya pretending to be a nameless operative)
Also something that needs to be clarified: do the veils we are all wearing under our henges interfere with our transformed sight at all? What about when we remove the henge?
Did she give Hazou an explicit role as well? Based on his actions he seems like his character follows his sensei's example of beating people up to expedite tedious conversations.
