I am confused. It took Kagome 96 days to research skywalkers. It has been 24 days since we first came to leaf. Jiraiya was promoted to hokage roughly one week in so he can't have worked on skywalkers. Some one managed to research skywalkers in that time period and produce enough to kit out Genin. This when storage scrolls which Genin level sealmaster can make are incredibly valuable. Something doesn't add up
Some (read:all) sealmasters were likely roped into making a fuckton of skywalkers, and our courier was likely only given exactly one set.

It took Kagome a month to make the modifications to the (known) Air Dome Seal to produce Skywalkers. It would take Konoha, who has multiple sealmasters, much less time, especially since Jiraiya also has the details on how the Skywalker seals work.
 
@eaglejarl Excellent update; I thoroughly enjoyed the developments here. Though most of all, I admire your ability to consistently do things like literally telling us you were rolling for combat with Itachi and not be believed.

 
Okay, they don't see him so they're flat-footed. Fortunately, he's not looking for a fight, so he doesn't take advantage of it. Of course, the kids aren't stupid. They don't know who this is, but they have no interest in a fight, so it's time to bail. Roll Initiative!
11290: Itachi

I don't know if this is real or not and am strongly on the side of "no way," but I feel like I should be updating to "yes, of course it's real, duh."

*shudders*

Y'all need to stop doubting me like that. Seriously, would I lie to you? No. Especially not when you're hoping I am. ;>

You've got a busted image there. What was it?
 
So, I think the plan is dispell (weird that an academy student has skywalkers) and listen. Easy enough. Though, if we get the full voting period, I won't be surprised if we convince ourselves we need to kill the messenger. Genjutsu could probably provide the password response.
 
Uchiha rolled carnelian eyes in disgust. "The Sharingan sees all, boy. The Toad Pervert and the Old Man brought these 'skywalker' seals to the battle against Yagura. One glance from these eyes was enough to reveal all their secrets; Akatsuki thanks you for the gift." His lips twitched in a half-smile of amusement. "I truly am grateful; running on my own two feet is far preferable to straddling a dragon made of explosives under the control of a not-terribly-sane companion. In fact, I am grateful enough that if you give me your prisoners, I will allow you to leave unharmed."
How did Hazou's subconscious know this????
 
So, if Root is a program that exists, I'm not saying that the courier is a Root agent, but the courier is a Root agent.
 
The guards took that in stride; they checked to be sure that it wasn't urgent enough to wake anyone up and, upon being told that it wasn't, they gave you a passcode exchange (as you saw) and said that they would send someone as soon as they could. Akane thanked them, told them where you'd be camping, and off you went.
Gate guard is a very desirable position for a compromised agent and a boring though important job for normal ninja.

How the hell is she getting younger while we are talking to her? It is almost certainly Genjutsu and she is probably an assassin because they wouldn't be that obvious if they were planning to leave witnesses.

Damn we are trapped in a vice. If she kill us we lose. If we kill her then suddenly "The missing-nin killed a loyal Konoha ninja messenger".

okay.

[X] Action Plan: Check, run and Boom.
  • Check
  • Find out what the message says.
  • Get explosives ready.
  • Kai.
  • Check if potential enemy under a henge. (hide checking if under henge by hitting a shoulder or something. Maybe ask if under henge.)
  • PAY ATTENTION TO QUICK WEATHER CHANGES, TREES OUT OF PLACE OR SLIGHTLY CHANGED DETAILS IN THE ENVRIOMENT. IT'S A BLANTLANT GENJUTSU IF SO.
    • Do Not, Under any circumstances, Do ANYTHING that might've shown that you noticed. Just Go on with the conversation. Make sure to NOT say an OPSEC related word, Even to Jiraya or your teammates. As far as you know, you're still under henge.
  • Run
  • Run if kai or henge checking gives a result.
    • If spotted envriomental differences - Don't. Just play along.
  • Boom.
    • All the seal blanks you make - Make them slightly bad. Just so that if someone tries to infuse them, Death follows. If we're under a genjutsu, they put us under it so that we show them how to make skywalkers, five-seal barriers and other special stuff we know how to make, Up to making sky-towers.
    • Get out of the village after getting everything done. If we hear an explosion in the forest - We're definitely under genjutsu.

Gods, i think im paranoic. Check with me guys.
 
@Matesz
Needs plans for what happens when Kai reveals Mari.
A hostile assasain or Root operative wouldn't use the weird slang, genjutsu into a toddler or be so brazen as to repeatedly genjutsu their age while they are talking to us (unless they wanted to get caught for some reason). They would also be extremely unlikely to have sky-walkers.
 
We DO NOT want to blow anybody up if they're friendly.

So, assume they're friendly. And check with your teammates if this is normal and announce that you're going to do a Kai if you think this is too weird.
