I assume the tax rate only applied to ninja taking missions.

[x] Action Plan: We Totally Are the Good Guys, Don't You See?

My Kei.exe is despair-spiraling about how, despite her earlier attempt to prevent this by choosing to be married-in instead of adopted, her membership in another clan ensures that we'll never be as close as we used to; this is merely the first sign. Of course the Gouketsu are always going to be running into the non-compete clause, what with Hazou's creativity at the helm, of course they'll never trust the Nara enough to include them in their best schemes, of course the chasm between her and her family is only going to grow, until they're superficial friends at best...
How are we supposed to rate Kei.exes' accuracy again, by how depressing they sound?

This will take like a day or two a month. We can still make skywalkers and take missions to stay solvent.

This, incidentally, is why I want to test our methods out on our property. We need to have a sense of how long it'll take.

Regarding Asuma, we're already clearing it with Mari. Regarding Tsunade... I did actually think of that, but most of her resources are currently in another town, and the scroll alone likely isn't sufficient. If we're moving to execution right away, it'll probably be easier for her to just support us.
Edit: Besides, it seems mildly OOC. I can totally see the Nara using some clever trick to swing it so that we win enormously but they win even more enormously (see also: the Fifth Event); Tsunade, on the other hand, dislikes politicking and won't bother with that.

True for Asuma, maybe we could save on word count by combining that? As for Tsunade, we are gonna be competing down the line once the nearby locations get fixed up...then again, will we really care all that much down the line?
Just some thoughts.

Yes, probably. I'll look into it if it becomes necessary.
No, I think? At that point "the secret" is going to be known anyway, involve we her in the first operation or not. We could hardly stop her from clearing the land on her own, down the line.

I can't quite parse your message. How are we getting money from that "unremitted good" thing again?

Doesn't the non-compete clause apply to them just as much as it applies to us? I see this as one of those things that Shika has to be fair on in order to maintain the clans integrity as an honest agent, just like maintaining the Keiko marraige in the first place.
For once politics is on our side. I want to see a Hazuo made plan that is optimized by Keiko with the Nara handling logistics. 2x thinker clan op.
Edit: I'm actually not sure if people widely know that Wakahisa can chakra drain, they're seen as mostly a support clan. Sharing this with Nara could break clan secrets if we don't frame it as "we have a way of clearing land of all threats both living and inorganic very quickly. Clan secret so I can't tell you how, but I want you in on the why. Do logistics and get money kthxbai

Oh, that's easy. We make the land clearing mission names after the Goketsu clan, and use the goodwill that buys us with civvies in exchange for money in any number of ways.

The merchant class that swells with the addition of so many food-producing civvies.

Taxation. Once we pressure Asuma into retiring and give Naruto the cap, the money will be flowing right to us.

With the land clearing scheme valued at 26 million Ryo per square km I think this is a good opportunity to try to develop or strengthen long term relationships with various factions in Leaf. I suspect that this will only take 1-3 days for us to complete the actual land clearing. Though it will probably take a month to flip it or to find tenants. If we split it 3 ways that's 8.6 million Ryo a month. Split 4 ways it's 6.5 million a month. Assuming that we only want to deal with clans on the council lets take a look at all of them and list out their pros and cons
Hyuga:
Pros: Super rich. Byukagun. Might be next Hokage
Cons: Kinda a dick. Might want us dead
Inuzuka:
Pros: Loyal. 2 known jounin. tracking blood line. Might change vote
Cons: No strong ties to us. Mildly xenophobic. Pro-Hiashi
Hagomoro:
Pros: Hates Hiashi. will like us.
Cons: Already giving them a pile of money
Aburame:
Pros: New clan head in Shino. Mildly friendly to us. Valuable bloodline to help with land clearing. Voted with Mari
Cons: Shino is a teammate of Hinata. Pro Hiashi
Kyoshō :
Pros ????
Cons: Xenophobic. Pro Hiashi
(note might be next ISC with Motoyshi and Amori

Non-compete clause: No. Keiko has to warn us if we're competing with the Nara and to avoid assisting us in getting an advantage over the Nara — i. e., avoid helping us compete. Nothing about the reverse.
But wouldn't we get the money and the goodwill if we arrange behind the scenes that we're the only land-clearer in town? We hardly need to be seen sabotaging others' efforts.
Your thought process seems bizarre. Are you sure you're not being ethical?
Hmm. That makes more sense.

Oh, I guess there's no reason not to involve Kei then, if she's required to inform us of it.

If we tell Kei we are telling the Nara. If we tell the Nara we will end up cutting them in. I am only ok cutting the Nara in if we explicitly decide to do it to begin with. For me at least they are way down the list
