Marked for Death: A Rational Naruto Quest

Reader mode
I told everyone that the bomb plot was a stupid idea and that I predicted that it would lead to a stampede.

Hence, it got changed into a sneeze bomb plot.

AND GUESS WHAT?

A STUPID NINJA THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA!

I have two solutions. First, a MEW wedge, to spilt the crowd in two. They can then take cover behind the wedge.

@Velorien, Does MEW have enough control to emboss a symbol on it? Like maybe the symbol for mist, or a symbol for emergency shelter?

second, goo bomb the back half of the crowd.

Do either of those things before the mist runs out, so they can't see us doing them.

I think that could work to stop the stampede. I don't think we will be able to do this without giving away that it was us, though. MEW and goo bombs are pretty much screaming Team Uplift (especially since we can't recover the seal after it went off in this situation). Also, people/proctors might spin the fact that we tried to defuse the stampede as an admission of guilt and that could be reasonable cause to blame us for it.

So with all that said, I still don't think we should do anything about the stampede at all. Escape and keep our heads down, and let the proctors deal with it.
 
It would surely be unfair for the Proctors to penalize us for what happened. Or at least, we just need to make it seem that it would be unfair for them to penalize us so.
 
Really it does boil down to a moral decision:

Do we try to stop people from getting hurt from the stampede or not?

I think the answer is "No."

There are multiple reasons for this:

1) I actually don't see what we could do besides throwing goo bombs? Everything else seems like it would be extremely harmful. Even something benign like setting up more misterators may cause the front of the stampede to falter.

But even gooing everything up could cause problems. The least of which is getting us completely DQed and probably fucked as far as the exam goes from the point loss from popping all those henges. The safest option may well be to let it run its course.

2) Honestly it seems like the proctors would have to intervene if it comes to the point where X amount of people are getting trampled to death. If a bunch of genin and civilians die due to this shit that's some major major egg on their face.

3) As noted above if we try to stop the stampede it will come off as a tacit admission of guilt.



So we also have to take into consideration it's almost surely the case that the EM effect is still on, in which case people are going to running quite quickly through some alcoholic mist and into a very hot (and soon to be humid) area.
 
Can we substitute into the Hedge Maze?

Now would be a totes fine time to have the Henge Technique be eaten by a grue.
 
You know..one thing we could to prevent a stampede from killing everyone, while still preserving our identity, is by using clones. Make some clones and have them direct everyone to the side to prevent craziness, and have them grab people who are flagging/fallen down.

We don't have enough chakra. And the proctors should hopefully be able to handle a little stampede.

Throw a goo bomb to save people? Drop our henge and go: "Sage damnit, what idiot thought throwing an explosive was a good idea? There was a reason I didn't do it!" *ramble ramble* Gain brownie points (politically) by sacrificing us to avoid injuring innocents?

It obviously is. What's Team uplift's call sign? Explosives. Who just triggered a seal? Hazō. Who is no where near the disaster? Super Team Leaf. We are prime suspects

This is a fair point. It really boils down to:

If we are caught in the mansion before everyone is situated, everything is fucked.

So we can make some Henged (as Mist ninja surely ) earth clones to do this with orders to fuck off immediately after the worst is handled? What happens if they get captured or the henges dispelled? I don't like this, it seems like it can go very wrong and if it does we are basically screwed.

I don't see how this doesn't end in Jiraiya screaming at us for taking the blame for something that isn't our fuckup.



WWJD, what would Jiraiya do, in this situation?

Oh fuck.

That's right, they'll be breathing more heavily, inhaling more alcohol directly into their bloodstreams. So we're going get 100+ ninja very drunk very quickly.

Um...

Fuck this, we're out. No goo bombs. Just evacuate.
 
I'm on the side of leaving the rescue to the proctors.

There are dozens of them and they more than likely have some coordination and us interfering might actually get in their way.

Not to mention we didn't even cause the explosion so why should we take the fall.

You mean like they so fairly saddled us with sexuality harassment, drug dealer granny in the last event? Or fair how they made our role look like a Jiraiya expie with a somewhat obvious secret role to go with it, and Keiko very similar to her real size, etc.?

The proctors don't care about fairness beyond what the illusion of it. The just need their suspicions to appear valid enough that they can get away with it.
