Potentially undermining worldwide medical efforts that probably help more people daily than Hazou has helped in his entire life? A worthwhile risk in order to increase the chance of Jiraiya maintaining power, in turn maintaining the chance for Hazou to get the ball rolling on plans to save everyone forever.

In the next entry in my continuing series of "are we the baddies?", this bit of insight into Hazou's headspace is both troubling and reflective of how he's behaved up until this point.

That stood out to me as well. My first thought when reading it was actually that our discussion about switching Hazou's Aspect to some variety of Savior Syndrome has given @Velorien some inspiration. This kind of arrogant "only I can do it" mindset is very much a key part of that cluster of personality disorders, after all. I don't think we've ever seen Hazou exhibit it quite so clearly, either.

Maybe meeting with Tsunade is an opportunity for personal growth, here? To make Hazou understand that not everyone is walking along the downwards spiral, that some people are helping in their own way, and that he should at least respect their efforts, even if they don't quite achieve the kind of results he's personally aiming for.

And neither does Hazou. But he still thought it was worthwhile, seemingly based solely on the assumption that his own effort was inherently more valuable and important than anyone else's.
 
We/Hazō don't have much of an articulated philosophy beyond: "Help everyone!"

This is something we should continually expand in-story.
 
Come on "Goketsu Boy's night out", you can do it!!!

Works for me. Added a "pending Mari/Jiraiya approval" in three spots to the plan relating to inviting people for game night and asking Jounin to spar.

Sweet, thanks.

@Vecht Could you do the same? That is to say, could you make a point to check with Mari/Jiraiya regarding socially-related stuff in the same vein as Radvic has done?

[X] Action Plan: A Week to Do Things v1.001

R&D with Kagome
  • Jiraiya can help as he wishes.
    • Quality bonding time between sealmasters.
  • Research
    • Casino Seals
      • We're trying to fine tune these into decent chakra detecting seals.
    • Extra Large Storage Seals
      • Most of Hazou's seals use storage seals as a base. Bigger is better!
    • Mountain Seals
      • What the hell do these do!?
  • In general, just blow shit up for the hell of it.
Training from Hell
  • Team Uplift delivers the game night invitations. (Check with Jiraiya and/or Mari regarding participants)
    • The ground is lava!
      • They must chakra adhere to other surfaces or bounce off of clones/themselves/use jutsu to avoid touching the ground.
    • Deliver Lee's first. Ask him if he wants to join in.
    • Invite everyone on an individual basis.
      • FAILURE: Any interaction between Hazou and Akane.
        • Avoid, AVOID!
  • Once everyone but Kakashi has been invited the Team try to track Kakashi down to give him an invite.
    • Check his house, favorite haunts (ask Gai), etc.
    • Be sure to bake and deliver him some OPSEC Cookies. These are just normal assorted cookies and pastries: Oatmeal, Peanut, Sugar, Eclair, Chocolate... oh, and some Ginger-reeking ones that we accidentally botched up.
    • The ground is still lava.
  • Pending Mari/Jiraiya permission, challenge the following Jonin in the village to a Taijutsu spar (Righteous Face Punching Redux, Do while delivering invitations.)
    • Asuma
    • Kakashi
    • Gai
Family Game Night
  • Invite:
    • Nakano
      • Bring his Genin squad if he wants.
      • He does not have to bring anything, really.
    • Team Gai (Including Gai)
      • Invite them all individually.
    • Kakashi
Misc:
  • Refill our seal loadouts.
  • Schedule:
    • Send a messenger to the Uchiha compound to invite Sasuke to lunch at some point later in the week.
    • Schedule a therapy session with Yamanaka Neira for Hazou in the next few days.

Edits made. Cut a few words. Under 300 words now.
 
Why are we attempting to research three different things instead of monofocusing on casino seals so that we can potentially use it in the tournament?
 
Sure. Just some last minute minor edits. Hope nobody minds.

Its wishful thinking to think Casino Seals are potentially useful in the tournament. The point is to get started on the tech tree and hopefully finish that seal this week.

OTOH Large storage seals are GOD TIER (because PMYF) and we know they exist.

Likewise we need to figure out what Mountain seals do (if its a seal variant of EM I will laugh).

We could try to shift the goal to have more focus on equalising or providing better opportunities for clanless ninja, as Hazou has experience as both and hence can personally relate to it.

The main thing holding them back other than lack of contacts is lack of access to techniques that are hoarded by clans.

We could try to promote greater access to training and techniques (focus on sealing and medicine).

Sealing and medicine seem to be the two areas that aren't monopolised by clans so we shouldn't step on their toes too much.

This could also could probably provide a way to grow our clan's effective manpower via clan affliates which I feel is necessary as the clan's success is dependent on the efforts of a very few people.


Clanless ninja are more likely to have civilian relatives hence will also will be more amenable to civilian welfare initiatives and hence will provide viable vectors for our ideology.

Hm. I kind of feel like we shouldn't be making this last a week unless Tsunade's not in town.
