I do like the idea of pretending that coal macerators are the way we fly. Like, just make a column of them and run up, "propelled" by excessive FAEs. Is it the best OpSec plan? No. Is it the best escape plan? No. Is it cool? Yes.
 
@faflec There exists the possibility that Minami might have enough chakra to resist storage seals to represent her still technically being alive; would you mind adding a bit where Noburi drains Minami of any residual chakra she might have?

Um, QMs said Minami got turned into Konoha's newest brand of Pez Dispenser, so I'm pretty sure she's dead-dead. And chakra is supposed to go byebye when you die, nearly instantly.
 
Where is that post that showed how many different type of seals we have?
That'd be here.
Until now we haven't been tracking these, just assuming you had a reasonable number of whatever and a boatton of explosives. Given the interest we'll start keeping an inventory. The inventory of a particular seal will only increase if you vote for Hazō to make some of that seal (or if we believe that Kagome would automatically make you some) and if there are resources to make them. "Resources" means time, paper, ink, etc. It takes an average of 5 minutes to create a blank and as a general rule we are not going to spend spoons on assigning different times to different seals.

IMPORTANT: Unless explicitly noted otherwise, seals are one-use items. Some seals, including storage seals, can be reused a number of times, but will eventually need replacing. Note that macerators in general are reusable but misterators get soaked and burning-log macerators are incinerated.

To keep things simple we'll assume that Hazō, Akane, Noburi, and Keiko all have the same current inventory -- you probably redistributed at the start of the mission to balance out the numbers.

Explosive seals: 300
Burning log macerators: 5
Misterators: 5 each, Noburi has 10
Macerator, 'chunky, not moving' (dice vegetables) (reusable): 1
Macerator, 'thumb-sized chunks moving fast' (projectile) (reusable): 1
Macerator, 'super-fine and moving fast' (dust cloud) (reusable): 1
Air Domes (paired seal): 3 pairs
Storage scrolls (reusable): 20
PMYFs (reusable): 10
Purifiers: 3
Tunneler's Friends: 10
Skywalkers (can be de/reactivated repeatedly but expire when their max use time is reached): 200 [about 40-50 continuous hours]
Ear-busters: 1
Banshee Slayers: 3
Implosion seals: 0
Directional explosives: 0
Force Walls: 0
LBF: 0

You don't know what Kagome's loadout is, but you suspect he may have more explosives than you do.
 
What are the odds the jounin is a sensor?
I mean, if she's has Hyuuga-tier sensor abilities, she'll know we used skywalkers to get away regardless of what we do. Should only be able to kill us if she has range >~50 meters attack she can use immediately. Or if we run into the forest instead of the sky.
 
Um, QMs said Minami got turned into Konoha's newest brand of Pez Dispenser, so I'm pretty sure she's dead-dead. And chakra is supposed to go byebye when you die, nearly instantly.
Oh, one more thing: If we're leaving anything at the site behind, would you mind leaving a Dust Bomb to ensure that it all becomes so much ash?
 
The current plan:
Well this is awkward. And slightly funny.

@Kurkistan Could you edit that part of your plan to coincide with the list of suggestions?

In the meantime...

[X] Action Plan: Blow this popsicle stand (Speed) EDITED

Our #1 priority is to get out of here ALIVE, and ensure that the skywalkers don't fall into enemy hands.

Summary:
  • Make sure you can sufficiently continue.
  • Recover Minami's body.
  • Prep for an escape into the sky with skywalkers. Avoid battle and ground travel as much as possible.
  • Reunite the team ASAP and report to J and team.
Non-Binding Suggestions:
  • While in the house:
    • Dispel
    • Prevent poison/injuries from affecting us:
      • Medical Ninjutsu.
      • Henge into ourselves without poison/injuries from poison.
      • Purifier Seals for poison/smoke.
        • Slip them under a piece of cloth (from clothes?) and tie around face to breathe.
    • Prevent ourselves from being killed.
      • MEW the doorway the ninja left out of. Chakra-construct MEW should suffice.
    • Check for ninjas in/out of the building.
      • Misterators.
        • Activate Misterators inside the dome.
        • Create clones (Earth or Water, it doesn't matter).
        • Activate a second Air Dome within the first, such that clones are between the two domes.
        • Clones deactivate the outermost Air Dome.
        • Noburi uses mist sense and checks for hostile chakra signatures.
      • Living Roots.
    • Put Minami in storage scroll
      • Take her seals off her person first - no need for seal-pocalypse yet
      • We're taking the seals with us, BTW.
    • Prep our escape:
      • Use MEW and directional explosives to sculpt charged blasts for escape purposes
        • Arm multiple blasts in different directions (different walls, the roof...).
      • Reset an Air dome barrier for extra defense when we blow holes in the walls
      • Prepare banshee slayers for use if we need to drop ear busters
      • Make clones for distraction (see below). Give them seals they need
      • Grab any seals we used; don't leave them lying around.
      • Top off Hazou.
    • Blow holes in the walls/roof and initiate leaving sequence. 3-5 holes depending on structural integrity of the house itself.
  • Leaving Sequence:
    • Have Noburi check through the mist for chakra signatures: drain enemies he senses dry.
      • Do this in conjunction with everything else.
    • Send clones out through each opening as distractions:
      • Clones are in pairs, with Henge as necessary to look like us.
      • Use Misterators to provide cover/lay a trail.
      • Suicide with fire-log macerators.
    • Run through the opening farthest away from the enemy.
      • Break for the forest. CHAKRA BOOST
      • Use Skywalkers to stay near the top of the smoke/mist. Don't actually break over cover unless we have to.
      • Throw additional fire-log macerators/Misterators to increase cover.
    • Once in tree cover, move upwards and to the sky.
      • Throw some fire-log macerators for more cover/block pursuit ala Hot Springs.
  • While running through the sky:
    • Get above clouds if possible
    • Don't stop
    • Go towards the meeting place for Akane's group
  • When reporting with Akane's group:
    • Explain everything we did, including our escape methods and Minami's death
    • Suggest immediately sending a report to Jiraiya
    • Accept Akane's leadership (she was Minami's chosen second in command)
Contingencies:
  • Noburi KO's enemy Jonin via Vampiric Dew (while we're escaping):
    • Keep running.
    • Dump more Misterators.
    • Make sure nobody else is in the area. If that's the case:
      • Send clones down to dislocate the Jonin's shoulders/legs/etc. then Skywalk back to catch up with us.
        • Clones should have explosive tags to self-destruct/destroy Skywalkers at the first sign of trouble.
      • Restrain her completely:
        • Re-drain her (at range).
        • Clones tie her up + remove anything that can be used against her.
      • Hazou carries Jonin with constant contact/drain from Noburi.
  • The enemy is gaining on us:
    • Break OPSEC, Skywalk straight up (not too literally).
    • Dodge attacks with...well, Skywalkers.

All right, edited and revoted. But I don't see what the big deal was. Obviously you'd dig around and find the vote that actually lists the plan. Everybody's operating in good faith.

@faflec

I rather run directly up into the sky than risk confrontation in the forest.

As a counter, I'd prefer to maintain some degree of OPSEC. If she closes in on us we can run directly up, but so long as we've done our due diligence in terms of detection to ensure she's not just outside the wall or something then she's not likely to catch us.
 
Just with "Hazou and Kagome make a shitton of seals in their free time and so everyone has 'enough' for non game-breaking purposes"?
From the QM chat, paraphrased:
"Kagome uses making explosives as a security blanket, and has enough issues that he needs a *lot* of security."

Crazy and likely unworkable idea for Shadow Clones - the jutsu was not designed with someone who has a hive mind in their subconscious, and each clone in use gets controlled by one voice of the hive mind (who also gets no say regarding the real Hazou while put in the clone).
*SLAMS FISTS ON TABLE*
Holy cow that would be so fun to run. I'm so tempted :o

reasonable negotiations backed by truly prodigious, jaw-dropping overkill
Yyyyyoink

...oh shit, and Kagome. He swore. He swore. We're not going to be able to stop him. A member of the team was killed. After we deep-end sold him on team loyalty. The one he specifically swore his everything to. He'll do it this time. He's going to do that thing I calculated with the degenerate white dwarf matter to squish boom all the stinkers at once, and put the seal that does it on the outside of a MEW 5-barrier box containing only the rest of our team. We're going to wake up tomorrow on a barren lifeless continent.
Holy cow, someone write this omake

...maybe I should write this omake...

We do have purifiers and apparently we don't need masks to make them work even in an environment filled with poisonous gas.
Note that you were using them inside an enclosed area (the air dome).

when you have a fraction of a second to choose tactics you probably won't think of the complicated thing
Unless you are being piloted by an extradimensional hivemind, of course.

You don't actually have a way to make granite domes. MEW always produces rectangular prisms.
Earth domes, though I don't think those ever got researched.
 
Just to ensure this is thought of, can we punch holes in the ceiling first and send mist out there? I feel like that's the biggest risk for where she might be watching for an escape attempt from. Earth jutsu detection won't notice her up there.

We could, in theory add a step of "fire macerator just outside the building after blasting holes before sending clones out" if we wanted. This would make it so if she's hiding near the house, she dies before the clones go out.
 
Also, agree with the idea that even if Jiraiya is behind this, it does us no benefit to accuse him or trust him less, and if anything causes more harm and risks more death. The only way to benefit from this unfortunate turn of events is to think through our actions more carefully, both politically and plan wise. If breaking cover and running out of town is what tipped the Yakuza off, assuming this was them, then we should identify long-range communication as our team's major weakness, and come up with a method of ameliorating that if a situation comes up again.
