[X] Action Plan: ASSIGN
  • Spend some more time with Hana and invite her to game night.
    • Possible conflicts of interest, but would it be possible to learn skills or tricks using Iron Nerve?
    • Tips for training Alertness and/or Chakra Capacity
  • Game night:
    • Divide into four or five groups, each playing a different game.
      • Try playing at least one game of Yakuza with everyone (Ninja!Mafia).
    • Let people chose which group to join, and randomly assign them if they can't decide.
      • Recommend changing groups and trying a different game once you're done your current one.
    • Get Mari-sensei and Hana on the same team at some point, so that they can break the ice by working together the same way she did for us and Team Gai.
Misc:
  • Continue research on Casino Seals.
  • Get some work on Kagome's birthday present (books detailing his teachings, recipes from Mist + food, wood/rocks...).
  • Make some more Skywalkers, both to start replenishing your own stockpiles and in case Jiraiya needs more in a hurry. Remember OPSEC.

This is going to turn out terribly but that's okay because it'll bring out the fact that it's turning out terribly to Hazou's attention.
 
I'm not sure you guys have thought through the Mari-Hana thing? My guess is that they'll either find a way to decline, or be icily polite with each other, and neither of those really gives Hazou new info? At best/worst, they blow up at each other, at which point our moms, who are also the Hokage's wife and the Mizukage's envoy + sister, have blown up at each other in public.

Sure, there's a sweet spot where Hazou gets info and nothing incredibly damaging happens, but this seems like a silly risk to take when we could try this in a non-public setting next update.

^ I like this one a lot; I think others would vote for it if it had the generic Game Night planning details?

Shrug. Just put the adults in their own group.

I'm beginning to think that most everyone is really just some sort of large and deadly child, and that there are no actual adults in this setting, save Shikaku and Sarutobi.

Perhaps the real adults were the friends we made along the way.

Looks at Keiko and Noburi

Y'know what? Sure, that makes as much sense as anything.

Literally everyone we interact with was or is a child soldier. Everyone who has lived to adult hood we're good at being child soldiers. While most of there friends weren't nearly and died terribly painful deaths in front of them. It's surprising that anyone is more functional than Kagome

I understand the level of psych problems everyone in setting deals with on a daily basis is best described by "Oh God." and "Holy Shit."

(That was 1 parts real statement and 2 parts leadup to the joke.)

I wonder what it'll be like when Noburi finally snaps. I'm thinking somewhere in between the Buffy season 6 finale and the Worm finale.

Get Mari-sensei and Hana on the same team at some point, so that they can break the ice by working together the same way she did for us and Team Gai.

I would prefer this section to be cut. The situation between Mari and Hana is not at all the same as Team Gai and us because Hana is openly hostile to Mari, barely doing the minimum amount to stay "polite" (in so far that even Hazou noticed).

I don't expect there to be any game breaking negative repercussions if this stays so I voted for it anyway, but I predict that at best Mari will use this weird new thing called Agency to either bow out of game night or manipulate the groups to stay out Hana's group. And at worst, she will accept being put on the same team and just silently take the thinly veiled abuse Hana will pile onto her because Mari's self-confidence is shot and she will think she deserves all this and more.

I have neither watched nor read either of those and yet I am filled with dread.

Buffy is an immortal classic of our age, and with good reason. I highly recommend it. The first season is a little weak, but also short, and then it really takes off. Obviously, if you want to give it a shot, don't read the relevant spoiler.

A sweet, soft-hearted girl who also happens to be the world's most powerful witch in terms of talent has her beloved murdered in front of her. She heads straight to the library, consumes all of the books of black magic, uses their power to hunt down and flay the killer, then attempts to end the world and very nearly succeeds before she is stopped by the one person in the world capable of using psychological warfare against her (having established that she can't be stopped with anything else).

A physical god with amnesia and no sense of purpose finds out that destruction is the one thing that can fill the emptiness inside him, and attempts to end the world. He ends quite a lot of it before he is stopped by, IIRC, every single superhero in the world linking powers in order to stop him with psychological warfare (having established that he can't be stopped with anything else).

Edit: Damn You Auto-Correct for somehow turning "immortal" into "immoral".

Don't forget the virtually indestructible sentient superweapons, a quantitatively superintelligent precognitive among them.
That depends entirely on what ninjutsu/seals Noburi has access to at the time. And since he's close to Jiraiya and Hazō and this is in the future...
Neat. This said, I wouldn't recommend giving him that same weakness you've mentioned with regards to both the Worm and the Buffy threats. Given Hazou's knowledge and closeness to him combined with the hivemind's nature, it'll be relatively easy for us to exploit.

Depends on the details, of course...

Noburi: "You don't get it. I have to do this. I have to end the world."

Hazō: [has used up all his FP to get this far]

QM Compel: "Open Mouth, Insert Foot".

Hazō: "You're overreacting. Just because to you the world is a hellhole filled with unrelenting misery and pain—"
