Marked for Death: A Rational Naruto Quest

Well I don't know, this is a frustrating problem, okay? Maybe we can do something with having Kagome craft her a wakahisa barrel and then have Noburi fill it up for her the morning of the tournament? It'll dissipate over the course of the day, but she should still be able to get a lot of chakra out of drinking from it.

Huh? I was being serious. There's no way the Pangolins, or one of the clans they've taken over, don't have some sort of Chakra Reserves buff.

Edit: NO WAIT THIS IS A PERFECT PLAN NOBURI CAN JUST GIVE HIS BARREL TO KEIKO AND THEN REFILL A SECOND BARREL HE MAKES OVER A PERIOD OF DAYS THAT WAY ON THE DAY OF THE TOURNAMENT WE HAVE HALF A DOZEN BARRELS OF CHAKRA WATER FOR EASY REFILLING

HAVE KEIKO BRING SOME CHAKRA WATER BOTTLES WITH HER TO THE ROUNDS AND SHE SHOULD BE GUCCI

FULL ALERTNESS TRAINING AHOY

Oh. Sorry, your wording made me think you were being sarcastic. Hm... I'm not sure if they would have a jutsu like that (meta-jutsu like that sound rare and difficult and definitely secret) but if they do then I'm sure there's some way we can trade for it. And since we're already supporting their fascist regime we might as well give them more weapons. It won't make them much more dangerous at this stage.

Babies into the fire of the Pangolin Empire!
 
Guys don't make any assumptions on what we should train for the next month. We need to wait to see what we can get out of Jiraiya, Hana and Ami first before we commit to a plan
 
*sad sigh*

Might as well get more power out of the situation. At least then we'll have an easier time conquering them and destroying their regime once we have the required S-rankness to do so.

E: :ninja:
 
I have no idea how Hazō will train if mama dearest decided to teach Hazō Kurosawa taijustu while we want him to train his chakra reserve and alertness?

Noburi can only keep so much chakra contained, regardless of how many containers it's in or what sort of containers they are. All that a Wakahisa barrel does is render the effort trivial, but he still needs to be making that effort.
 
Do you think the Pangolins are going to erase all physical traces of Condor culture? We might want to ask them for as much of it as we can get "to sell to human historians". If we later liberate the species then we'll want to have preserved as much of their culture as we can.

Shin's expression grew serious. "Unlike you, I don't claim to have already found my answers—but I'm willing to meet you halfway. My team is still going to take your team down with everything we've got, and climb your unconscious bodies to Chūnin Exam success. But it won't be because we're sworn enemies trying to punish traitors at the behest of the Powers That Be. It'll be because I believe your worldview is simplistic and naïve, and your defeat at our hands will show you that you are not yet strong enough or smart enough or wise enough to try to force it on anyone else. If you want to prove me wrong, do it with actions, not with words."

"You're bluffing," Kurosawa said, not moving. "A crippling injury would destroy your chances for the tournament."

"Try me," Keiko said calmly. "Our chances of getting into the tournament at this point are negligible; one of the red teams will undoubtedly turn in their documents before we can get to them and then stay hidden until the end of the event, thereby sealing our fate. The thing you're missing, though, is that we don't need to get into the tournament. All we need to do is make clear that the Gōketsu clan is a power...I think crushing all the other teams in this event should be enough to do that, don't you? If one of the people who ruined our score in the previous event happened to disbelieve my clear warning and got himself paralyzed for life...well, that would be a shame, now wouldn't it?"

Kurosawa swallowed nervously.

"The Summoner asked you a question, boy," Pankurashun rumbled.

"Yes?" Kurosawa said. "No? I mean...you asked...uh...yes, it would be bad. Definitely bad."

Pankurashun, Intimidation + tag "Surprise, Sucka!" + invoke "Pangolin Drill Instructor": 62
Ryūgamine Eichi, Resolve: ?
Kurosawa Shin, Resolve: ?
Shin and Eichi take all the Mental stress; each of them will have nightmares about this moment for days. They obey without even meaning to, dropping to the ground and receiving the Aspects 'Prone' and 'Rattled'. Pankurashun gets tags on these for each boy

Seems like we proved Shin wrong.

But seriously can we get Keiko to give Akane the shakedown on donating (or returning, as your perspective may be)some of her seals?

She can keep the majority of the explosives, those we can make easily. If she could gib all the utility seals and nonlethal stuff like Goo Bombs, Banshees and Pepperspray, that would be ideal.

Right now we have 10+5+5+(5) =25 sets if Akane donates hers to the cause. Thats way more than enough to use during Round 2, and we can spend the 10-15 (conservative) extra towards the Pangolin deal. This saves us a comparative 5-8 hours.

We can spend some time on rest day whipping up some more and then doing some additional things we'd like to have.

Their intentions are, as stated by Pandaa, to turn the Condors into Pangolins who happen to have wings by systematically eradicating their culture. We don't know if Pandaa was reliable there, because he's a patriotic Pangolin who probably hasn't thought about the potential downsides or difficulties of such a path.

That said, the Condors were never blocked from the Great Library, so it's quite likely that a lot of their culture was recorded there already. We might, however, be able to ask for Condor techniques and stuff because hey, the Pangolins don't lose anything and there are probably a few useful jutsu to be found there.

This is a really good idea
 
Um, are we gonna give back the other barrel after the event is over? It feels like it would cause at least some international political fallout for Jiraiya if we started actively stealing clan secrets instead of clan secrets being shifted incidentally because Leaf decided to protect us from the villainous Mist (or whatever story we're going with at this point)

A corollary question to this is: Is the possible SuperRedTeam alliance in Round 2 not severely hamstrung without the ability to easily transfer chakra between people? Can she make another barrel in the time allotted with the resources at hand?

We'd probably give it back. Smashed up, but back.

Wakahisa can use other peoples' barrels, and there's no way Kiri doesn't have a spare barrel available. Also, who cares about her?

1) Noburi has most of the hypothetical clan secrets anyway. Shit happens, its a war sim. We'll give it back later.
2) There are (potentially) other Wakahisas in the exam.


Really I would LOVE Super Team Red to come after us next round. If we bury 36 ninja TWICE in a row we definitely have a very solid shot of being in the tournament.
