My next prophecy is that Hazou will decide the geopolitical future of the Elemental Nations during a casual dinner with Ami, as the tournament approaches.

So the event before the tournament will be a somewhat formal dinner?

I'm just picturing Hazou having to sit at the kiddie table with all of the other kages' children, desperately trying to make small talk with one person on his right while another person seated on his left gives him constant death glares.

I wonder what we would roll for remembering which fork to use in such a situation?

Are you implying we arent using our own cutlery?

NOT PARANOID ENOUGH!

So, @Velorien, I know I came off a bit harsh in how I referred to the current event recently. I didn't mean to imply you were at fault for any of it; I know you guys put a lot of work into it, and the idea was honestly really cool. Nobody predicted the mess it ended up producing, which I'm sure you guys are fed up with at this point as well. Hopefully it's a lesson for the future for all of us.

Anyway, I'm saying this here because @Dictator4Hire's idea seems like a much safer and less volatile take on the "Hazou at a formal party" theme. Just a suggestion, sounds like it could be fun, and it makes sense for such a party to take place once the events are over with.

You are implying that we let the other guests know the extent of our paranoia?

Clearly we have a storage seal on our tongue that we will covertly dispose of all ingested material.

We are also an Earth Clone.

The real Hazou and Jiraiya are 5 miles away staring at the party through a telescope under Kagome approved security measures and thumbing the detonator to about 10,000 implosion seals covertly placed throughout the mansion and village.

You are clearly not paranoid enough.
 
You know, given that Henge and non-Henge are different beings, wouldn't we be able to gain immunity to ingested poisons by only eating them under Henge, and then dispelling the Henge to remove the poisoned foodstuff? Or does Henge not work that way?

I think we've given the QM's a month worth of headaches the last week or two, actually.
Illusion Henge needs to be done. Solid transformations are way too good to be a cantrip level jutsu.

People would still vote to throw sake in the face of the person sitting next to us to "coax out some state secrets to help Jiraiya". Possibly add a literal table flip in there as well when our "moderate plan" nearly gets us killed.

Given eaglejarl designed the next event, I don't expect it to be anything approaching a formal dinner. I expect something more along the lines of "Hello, my name is Momochi Zabuza, and I will be your proctor today. Today's event will be a stimulating physical exercise! Now... start running."

Hyuuga cut through Hazou's musing. "No, no, these are all inconsistent. Some of them might be revisions or different versions of the same plan, but they aren't marked by date or organized in a coherent way. Suggestions for a city-wide battle royale, simultaneous wilderness escort and assassination missions, races and other athletic competitions..."

Huh. Thanks, Neji!
 
I actually thought this event was a pretty cool change of pace. I liked it a lot.

I'm very pleased we got the chance to fuck it up twice.

@faflec I will bet you 10 screams its the wilderness escort and assassination missions mixed with some sort of "defend the location" objective.

I'm not actually talking about the next event. What I'm saying is, that once the events are over with and the tournament lineup is known, and everybody is a bit more relaxed, it makes sense for Mist to host a formal dinner for all the visiting dignitaries, Kage, and other important ninja. We'd absolutely be expected to attend, no doubt to Jiraiya's terror, and wouldn't it be fun if we coincidentally ended up seated next to one Mori Ami?

Don't worry, I'll find another major inconsistency and let us fuck it up thrice! :p

Please no more loops @faflec. The timeline can't take it!
 
Regarding the effects of the tipserator cloud... This has already been done before! it may be easier to use that as a guideline rather than trying to figure out the effects from base principles.

Brilliant Bar Gets You Drunk With an Alcoholic Cloud

Key points for their setup:
  • 1 hour = 1 standard drink
  • 10% Alcohol in the pre-misted fluid (1:3 ratio of gin (which is 40% alcohol) to mixer)
  • Mist is "dense" with visibility limited to 3ft
  • Effects are much faster than drinking
  • Only £10 an hour!
So I expect we could bump up the alcohol percentage to compensate for the decreased density of our cloud and end up with similar results. I would guess that putting in pure gin would more than account for our decreased mist density, and we can likely assume something that gets you drunk even faster than 1 drink/hour.

Mainly though, I agree with the prior comments that said that as long as this is somewhat plausible, we don't need to sweat the small details: just leave it to Noburi's medicine roll and be done with it :)

Hmmm we can open a tipserator bar in Mist (or anywhere) as an income source and front for an espionage operation...
 
We'd need an excuse for Keiko to not attend, since if Hazou's getting brought in so could Keiko and cue shitstorm because there's no way in hell the Mori clan wouldn't try to get their claws sunk in her.

The Mori clan want's Keiko in the Nara clan to manipulate her and use her as an asset in the Nara clan. Ami would use Hazou to get more influence in the Goketsu clan to get at the Nara clan. We as in Hazou need to understand this and play them all (Goketsu, Nara, Mori, Kurosawa) for our goals (whatever the hell they are!).

You have it wrong we need to protect people from Kei not the other way around
