- naruto rationalist romance armageddon is looking better and better damn you kishimoto explosions everywhere explosives solve everyone if in doubt surrender to the mercy of zabuza it seemed like a good idea at the time looks like a really bad case of being a jōnin my god. where does the lore end? precommitting is the winning plan screaming in kagome screw the rules i have explosives something bad might still happen sometimes you gotta sociopath stabby zabby subsection c of paragraph 9 should include we can weaponize this so hard
REN: (sigh) I miss Hazou...
HAZOU: Hi auntie! (throws shenaningans everywhere)
REN: Argh! I take it back! Go back to when there wasn't a Hazou!
Ren's interactions with Hazō is basically almost zero. Ren cares about Hazō only because he is her sister's son.

No, that's the other offshoot of the Sharingan, wielded by the Sawakuros in Rain.

Ren likes Hazou because Shin is such a little shit in comparison.
He thinks a perimeter of tree branches is decent defense against an incoming Paingolin squad. He makes us look like Itachi in comparison, sometimes.
REN: (looking at SHIN, internal monologue: ) How did you pass ninja academy? We should bring back the bloody mist exam. smh. (externally: ) Very good. Now make sure you keep picking fights with Hazou whenever you can. (internally: ) This should get you killed you little shit. Tree branches. ffs.
To be fair, the abattises were meant to prevent someone from having line of sight to use Substitution to get on the roof, or to tree walk up there easily. They only failed to be useful against us because Keiko had Vacuum Step available as a means to get to the roof instead. Had we not had that option available, then they might have been able to put up a better defense given the Lightning Pillar/Byakugan combo.
It was actually a good addition to their defenses, and we might want to consider using the idea ourselves if we intend to have our own forces on the roof when we're defending. No reason we should give enemies line of sight for substitution.

Can't substitute through a force wall. Maybe set up a perimeter of those on the roof?
I still like my idea of using the cleared trees as a barrier. Same as Shins but with way more stalling power.
You need to be within 1 zone anyway according to the rules. We should attempt to stop them from even getting that close.

Really should fill a macerators sawduct and attach an sparker. Instant one use flamethrower. Oil or gunpowder would be better, but sawdust is much easier to get hold of cheap anywhere.

That's the underlying principle of Dust Bombs (or Firebomb Macerators or whatever else we decide to call it). Take a log and set it on fire, then stuff it in a macerator. When you release it, it's ground up into sawdust with bits of fire and expelled at macerator speeds, creating, well, a rushing wave of fire.

- Yes.
What I would recommend is to set up layers of trees, such that their branches prevent Substitution (holes in branches are too small for a human to go through) but are large enough for, say, kunai. This allows Keiko to throw with impunity without being engaged upon.
Of course the bigger issue is that we plan on throwing logs/boulders with seals attached, which'll require us to throw far over their heads to prevent from breaking our own barricades. Which gives enemies time to move.

@eaglejarl How reasonable is Aerial Clone Bombardment strategy? It's awesome, but I don't want it to be suggested and then Hazou look like an idiot?
Incidentally, it occurs to me that we could combine that with the "blow up a bunch of dirt overhead" strategy by having the clones jump off beforehand.

QMs: "Having not thought about it for any length of time, Hazō thinks it's a brilliant idea and that he should definitely try it during the next round.
Dirt, pepper, and banshee bombs?

Pandamonium has truly prodigious strength. Can he not hit with kunai-speed logs from 2 zones away?
- Location
- Yes.
The issue isn't getting the logs there, it's the height.

In-universe shinobi tactics. I suspect they are quite different from real world ones

That's not how throwing works. No matter what you're throwing, it can't move much faster than the lib you're using to throw it, and I'd be very surprised if pangolins could get that anywhere close to mach 11. If that were possible, high-level taijutsu expert pangolins would be similarly fast, which means they'd be producing sonic booms all the time. They don't, which means pangolins can't move at mach 11.
