It's been retconned. You don't know its condition since (though boy, do we).

*Checks QM docs*

Since they knew Isan's original location was compromised, they immediately fled to the backup location, leaving only a note on how to contact them. The note is encrypted with the names we were using while getting the summon scroll. The back up location is on... Nagi Island. Oh dear.
 
(Also, the timeline document is now split into three parts. Carelessly, it now includes a summary of the yet-to-be-released Chapter 265. It's quite intriguing. I daresay Mari outdid herself.

@faflec, note that too: you need to update your signature.)

I have no idea if this is true since it could be that the QMs rushed to erase spoiler information before the rest of us could read it.

Now we just have to acquire the other dozen and we'll be good to go!

Adopt Lee

Crap! That should have gone in the QM timeline. You saw nothing.

That fits remarkably well...

@eaglejarl @Velorien @OliWhail
Was Cat one of the ANBU at the battle? She dead?
Yes.
 
Sweet, so when we visited it had a population of...what, 500 or so?
Yup.

Brilliant. Coming soon:
  • Neji as Dr Strange: Has great powers that make no sense even by the standards of the rest of the group, but rarely gets invited to help because he's completely insufferable.

You were warned.
 
I had successfully blotted that garbage out of my brain. You have now restored it. Thank you so very much.

My most sincere apologies.

If Neji joins our clan, we'll make him a main branch member. Just sayin....
 
Going over old updates, just found this in a mid-chapter flashback:
"I did not panic," Mari's temper flared. "Just because—"

Yagura's eyes snapped onto hers.

The lattice of force warped around her, twisting itself like bondage rope, like ninja wire, pinning her from head to toe and stopping the tiniest sliver away from cutting into her flesh. She couldn't move. She couldn't speak.

But Mari refused to surrender. She would not be dominated by a man. She would not be turned into a helpless puppet for Yagura to use for his own pleasure. Not ever.

She was the flame, untouchable and irresistible, dancing and devouring, giving life or destruction on a whim. All the ninja wire in the world could not bind the flame, and any who tried to force their will onto her would burn to ashes.

Something shifted behind Yagura's eyes.

Mari plunged into the oceanic depths, far beyond the reach of the sun. The pressure of endless fathoms of water slammed down onto her, a single teardrop's weight away from crushing her bones into dust. No flame could exist in this abyss. Nothing could exist in this abyss. Nothing but the single vast being that was silently watching her die.

Then the Mizukage let her go.
Aside from being another example of the Jounin aura, I think the fact that Mari's aura is about not being dominated by a man is very sad. I also, more relevantly, think that we should be very, very careful about how we approach Mari as she is now, bound to us as her Clan Head and in a very poor headspace besides.
 
Do you guys think Naruto would be willing to introduce us to Teuchi? An in with the Leaf-brand yakuza would be good...
