A hint that there's Forbidden Lore in Snow.
You... you think Leaf courts have juries? Pff. I'm pretty sure she was telling the truth. A jury is a type of chakra catfish, that word has no other meaning in MfD.
Hey, @Dictator4Hire, this line might interest you.

What just happened? What did I do?! What was Ino saying??
Edit: Wait... Wait, was Ino trying to express that she is beginning to see Hazou as a possible romantic partner, provided he keep as he is?

I... what? I don't understand. I thought that maybe I did, but... apparently not? I'm going to go study for a bit. Maybe I can understand Organic Chemistry better?

Am I correct in thinking that the first adoption slot a clan has is less valuable to them? For example in the Dashio clan, they may want to save a slot if a skilled non-clan sealmaster is interested in them, but they acknowledge that chance is low. The chance that they find two interested and eligible non-clan sealmasters is about 0, so they should be willing to let go of their first one pretty easily.
If this is the case, we may want to buy one slot from each of two clans.

Yes. Well, no. It's her remembering why she sees him as a possible romantic partner, in present tense. There was a similar exchange in Chapter 217B:

Yes, the implication that I took from it is that it was related to the very short romance she had with Hazou back when he was a missing-nin and Hazou's continued existence as a potential romantic partner. That is, 'maybe you are relationship material after all'.
This sparks panic in the faflec, I imagine, because of the proximity teen romance has to the incident that resulted in the thread being locked a while ago, despite being a harmless topic.

No, it's because I look at shipping the same way Kagome looks at social relationships.

Frigging death world.
The sheer lethality of random fauna (and probably flora as well), suggests that Chakra Beasts were not a thing until the Sage gave Chakra to everyone. Or rather, it further reinforces the idea which was started by a bunch of things that Pain said.
At the rate we're going? Its not impossible.

Kill her! Out Contamination! AAIIIIEEEEEE!
I - Irony. Right, @Lailoken ?
We interrupt this episode of Marked for Death to bring you Darths&Droids.
So should Mari. Last we checked she wore silver eyes with red hair. Yuck.
This becomes a family trait.
Oblivious Hazō is oblivious.
So, another treason. OK, let's do it!

@huhYeahGoodPoint Please add a "talk to the clan"-esque blurb at the top.
I don't think talking to Asuma about "Enma stuff" is ever a good use of Asuma's time, at least without a ton of detail explaining why it's a good use of the Hokage's time.
Edit: Or, hey, go and introduce said merchants/farmers about our storage scroll bank, and point out that it'd let them store and sell seasonal produce whenever the fuck they want.
IIRC the only seals that could qualify for this are Kagome's secret seals and seals from Jiraiya's notes; all other seals are either commonplace or have already been sold to the Tower or submitted for the contest. Since we're not going to be selling implosion seals or directional explosives (or anything along those lines), we'll have to do a lot of research on Jiraiya's stash.
I don't think this is quite accurate. Oneiros mentioned that Kagome's been training Fuyuki in sealing, and the Daisho want a sealmaster in this generation. One thing I'd suggest is to make the offer of us doing the work to train sealmasters to a competent* standard for them to adopt. It gives them exactly what they want (a sealmaster this generation) without any of the work/risk involved (they don't need to train the sealmaster or risk them dying and have their work go to waste).
What happened to Yuno? Aren't we holding our current slot open for her to marry into the clan? For that matter, Noda hasn't given us an answer and we want to wait until the bills start mounting and she comes to us to ask to be adopted.
For...???
Ask Mari for advice.
I'm in favor of this, for the record, though I'd observe that we've probably already done the latter to the extent that we can and that further decoding has to be put on hold until resident-cryptologist Kagome gets back.
All else being equal, I don't think this is the best use of Asuma's time. Maybe we could do some groundwork/details by looking over whatever backup records of Academy dropouts exist, or on crippled ninjas who can't do missions but can operate seals?

I don't think we should talk to the restauraunt owner, we should instead talk to merchants and farmers about buying some of their seasonal produce/products.

[X] Action Plan: The Contracts Are Sealed
There's a few things in this plan I'd like to address.
Second: Noda has not confirmed interest in joining the clan in the way Haru has.
Third: Going into such stringent detail on what we expect of them when we haven't been seen to consider what a clan should even mean to us in-character doesn't seem ideal.
Fourth: While I do agree that it's a business opportunity for the restaraunt owner and us, we should remember what our deal with the merchant council on the subject is.
And while I'm on the subject of the merchant council, re: seal technicians, you should mention it in context of the 50%-ish of potential nin who don't make the cut for Konoha forces, not in the context of those without enough chakra as a whole. Also, I would suggest to him to put the seal technicians under the Merchant Council's control, rather than ninja forces, so that they wouldn't fight the use of seals for economic purposes.

Quote from the latest "rational fiction is teh sux" thread, the quote specifically referencing Marked for Death:
"I don't know why everything is made of murder, but I hate it."
Yes, but it lets her disintegrate monsters with her eyeballs!
EDIT: Lindsay Jones utterly nails the voice for that line. It's an RWBY reference.
