I am not a doctor, but I don't believe heart attacks involve buckets of blood gushing everywhere. If they do, I'm suddenly very glad I am not a doctor.

I mean if we can trick Keiko into turning this into a Contest of Wills (after some punching @eaglejarl, after some punching), lose on purpose, fake a heart problem thingy by clutching our chest and spitting up some blood (previously held by a small bladder/pig intestine in the back of our mouth), well...

(Alternative: fake Massive Pangolin injuries, but I still want to set ourselves on fire for that one.)

How would Keiko know something wasn't Horribly Wrong in the moment?

Cue meteoric Sucker Punch!

Yes. The smiley face may or may not look exactly like that, since there's only so much you can do visually on SV.

We should throw ourselves away from the letter and explodes it, as it obviously is a strange Seals of the anglo theory, incomprehensible to Hazou; we only speaks Ninjalandian here.

The Tipsterator Incident worked pretty well, she had a controlled breakdown and everything:
eaglejarl said:
Ren closed the outer door to her apartments and locked it. She shifted the heavy bureau over to block the door. She searched the apartment to be sure no one was there. She went into the bedroom, locked that door, and set the draft sock along the bottom to muffle sound. She searched the room again to make sure no on was there. She wound two strips of bandage around her hands.

And then she screamed out her rage and frustration, hands flashing as she hurled weapon after weapon into the wooden training dummy by the wall. When the steel was exhausted, she leaped forward and smashed chakra-enhanced punches into the dummy until it was nothing but a stump and a mass of splintered wreckage. She pounded on the stump, transmuting all the frustrated rage in her soul into empowered punches, kicks, and elbow strikes until the ravening fires of her temper had calmed themselves to a level that the Iron Nerve and decades of training could conceal.

Outward calm restored, she left.

Something like that?

@MMKII: Hey, lets annoy our aunt a bit. Maybe a prank?
@Noumero: Hey, remember when we kickstarted World War 4? That worked so lets do that again.

This thread sometimes. :V

Its likely that my desire to make Ren cry is motivated by some deep desire to return to that most beneficial of timelines I had accidentally caused to come into being.
 
I proposed a semi-hostage dilemma that could possibly shut Keiko down while pushing our propaganda upthread. Does anybody else have a way to (softly) flip the tournament table on Keiko or bluff her into some kind of game theory scenario? Something that takes advantage of our deceit?

Go chakra adhere to the nearest wall and refuse to touch the ground while yelling "The Floor is Lava!"

The question, as with many of these proposals, is whether you will cause Keiko to freak out and shut down or cause her to freak out and be consumed by optimised rage.

Mori Ami was known for her bizarre self-invented (some would say self-inflicted) forms of training, from "the floor is larvae" (spend a day without touching the ground, while otherwise carrying on with your normal routine) to "too lazy to walk" (get as far across Mist as possible solely by Transforming into a series of inanimate objects)

Gah!

My future plots to coerce folks into starting off the Ami interaction by insisting we eat our meals while parallel to the ground (similar to how Hazou interrupted Asuma/Kurenai in Ch 213 by standing on the side of a tree) as an exact callback to this scene is now in peril. :p

I would have voted for it. I think it's a great idea to spend the entire time trying to one-up Ami for weirdness, personally. I don't think Hazou will win, but I think she would appreciate the effort and it would be good for Hazou to spend more time with people who are at least as weird as he is, so we should set a precedent that encourages Ami not to hold back shenanigans in our presence for diplomatic reasons.

Meh.
Explosives can solve that too.

Given that she was the Mori Clan's youngest jōnin, these practices were clearly more useful than they looked, and so wherever Ami was at any given time, and whatever she was doing, most people just shrugged and let her get on with it.

Her sister's a damn thief.

And nuts too.

Why?
 
@eaglejarl @Velorien @OliWhail

Training explosives have a Weapon value of 0. Could an earth clone use one in melee without dispelling itself?

e: And as an addendum: Could Hazou use it himself?

...Wait, are training seals obviously different in effect from normal ones?

We are selling ad space in our pre-battle talk, yes, now that we have a chance to? I bet we could incorporate it really well in Hazou vs. Keiko back-and-forth argument over viability of Uplift.

They don't cause any damage (hence the name), so there's no problem using them in melee. They probably look the same but visibly less powerful.

How would we do that?

E: Contact merchants to sell ad space, that is.
