I see one problem with this plan:
- Location
- The Maple Syrup Mountains
That's why we should try to cover a lot of time in one plan, so all the 'Marked for Boring Stuff' takes half a week and then we can go do fun stuff again once a suitable amount of IC time has passed.

- The state of Paranoia
I would hope that this awesome and terrifying battle along with everything that happened while we were interacting with Akatsuki would satiate Eaglejarl for a little bit at least.
I'm still feeling the adrenaline from reading the fight while trying to guess how Naruto/Ami were about to get smashed into a pulp. I wouldn't mind a one or two week update where we just do non-dangerous things. Maybe punching chakra beasts to clear out our mine or something.

Subsection: Move over Naruto, we ninja Jesus now
- Try your hand at some writing
- What we experienced of the afterlife is valuable knowledge that would be nice to spread.
- We'll have to change a couple things, though. Redact Hidan and Itachi and the Skywalkers, and maybe make the person we brought back some civilian instead of the Jashin cultist we killed?
- We could frame it as a short story, true events recounted by Goketsu Hazou.
Would Hidan be pissed if he found out that we rescued Daizen?

Seeing Naruto again is going to be interesting, given that he hasn't yet gotten over the last time Hazou wanted to commit treason.

Good thing we didn't contact Akatsuki but where memory wipes into believing we where
I'm going to take his word on that with regards to saying he wasn't going to tell anyone about that.

Omit Needless Words
[x] Action Plan: The Third Time in Hazou's Entire Life When He is Allowed to Relax
- Thank everyone for their help.
- Convey to Haru that you don't blame him for his actions. Loyalty is a good trait.
- Relax and have a good time. Eat cake. Socialize.
- Catch up on events in Leaf. What's up with the clan? With Yuno?
- Introduce "essie", a derogatory term for S-rankers.
- Suggest that we put it into widespread circulation as a term for non-Leaf S-rankers, and in a way such that no-one could trace it to the Gouketsu.
- Catch up with Kagome. How are his projects doing?
- Exchange tips on committing perfectly lawful actions with Ami.
- Get drunk to build up a library of corresponding Iron Nerve movements, as you'd planned.
- Book an onsen and invite your friends for a beach episode the next day. Bring board games.
- Try your hand at writing: convey your experiences with the afterlife in the form of a short story. Redact Skywalkers and Akatsuki's involvement.
The above looks good? I kind of want to include Jashin, but I'm not sure how to, without making it either too serious or such that it makes others suspect us of Out contamination.

Suggestion for the Essie bit: we clarify that it's for S-rankers who aren't Leaf-nin, but all Leaf-nin S-rankers get the proper full description. Killer B is an Essie, Naruto is an S-ranker, Itachi is an Essie, Orochimaru is an S-ranker, etc.
I wager people would be much more receptive to derogatory labels specifically for the people who aren't Official Leaf Heroes, and the repercussions if it does come back to us will be less because we're clearly facing this derogatory term at the Itachis and Tsuchikages of the world, not our glorious heroes. And if that nuance gets lost in translation and all S-rankers can be called Essies? Why, that's not our intention!

I would probably swap this to "Exchange tips on executing Super Smart Plots (TM)." or something.

My understanding is that the scroll was given to Asuma, no strings attached, as part of the Gōketsu contribution to the contest. @Velorien can correct me if I misunderstood/misremembered our discussions. If he doesn't, assume that I remember correctly and that yes, you handed it in.
Actually, things have been intense enough lately that even I wouldn't mind a little bit of a break. A couple light and fluffy updates and possibly a month-long timeskip would not go amiss. @Velorien , your thoughts?
- Location
- Yes.
Agreed.

- Yes.
ehhh...it's a bit much, IMO. I'd prefer MMKII's version.

Note, however, that "S-ranker" is already a made-up term: it's convenient shorthand for 'ridiculously powerful ninja". Attempting to make it point to something else, or to make something else point to it, may be non-straightforward.
I'm ambivalent on the timeskip, but welcome light and fluffy updates. The O'Uzu mission wasn't meant to be particularly stressful (apart from potential death in the forest), but it did not... work out as expected.
lesson: next time we commit treason. have everyone know the plan of avoiding killbox in case you can't regroup
Wat to do with Haru. Do we wanna make him follow clan leader orders more via duty guilt? ask for more trust in us? Tell him no hard feelings? etc.
I don't understand this. Weird phrase.

Maybe add "Book an onsen and invite your friends for a beach episode the next day. Bring board games." or something.
