I don't know if he would, I think for all of his grumbling he seems to respect the chain of command (thank you,
But even if not? So what?
We don't owe the guy anything. At all. He already benefitted tremendously from joining the Goketsu and while I can appreciate Hazou being the sort of clan head that doesn't bullheadedly does only what he thinks is right, Haru still has to earn our loyalty.
When Akane, Noburi, Kagome, Mari or Keiko tell us something we listen. Because we know them. We know they are reliable.
Haru isn't there yet. And while I look forward to seeing his character development unfold, if he were to disappear right now I wouldn't shed a tear for the person he is right now.

[x] Action Plan: It's the Plan From Before That Needs Finishing Please Vote for This Otherwise Its Kinda Awkward To Not Haha (Taking Edit Suggestions)
In the vein of 'things from the plan from before that need finishing otherwise it's kinda awkard to not haha', we also have that talk with Akane Hazou resolutely set out to do after the convo with Mari and which weeks have passed without another word about it.

I'm sort of unsure as to how to go about wording this.
Maybe quote the relevant section (or link) and say "Have Hazou go do that thing. Be Hazou about it." ?

- Yes.
I think this was the part of the plan we're referring to?

I just edited this in:
Have words with Akane.

- Go do that. Be Hazou about it.

Much better! Thank you.
Unfortunately I quite like the forbidden lore stuff and it all sort of needs to be in there for the conversation to make sense.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Does anyone want to have a post-contest bulletpoint. Something something "Celebrate." something something scroll allocation something something tell Haru to quit bitching (Yknow kid, you were going to be the porcupine summoner...)

- Yes.

Hows this?
- Post-contest:
- Celebrate.
- Thank everyone who made it possible.. Every clan member and resident did something to help.
- Scroll allocation (done privately with the clan).
- Inform everyone. [See: In-thread vote.]
- It was a tough choice, but ultimately you believe your decision is the best for the clan and for Leaf.
- We're probably going to have to pull the 'Clan Head" card on that point.
- We'll listen to any concerns or grievances though, if anyone has them?
- Ask after preferences on one of the other currently free scrolls?
- Ok We'll try to get you those.
- Tone: As if you're discussing which groceries to pick up for them.
- Celebrate.

Let's not be preemptive when dealing with Haru. I'd say we should explain our reasoning: Akane is to learn SC in order to help Kagome so learning Summoning would distract from that; Haru _______.

See the blank is the major problem there. What do?
Haru "is a massive child"?
Haru "can't get over himself and doesn't follow orders."?
Haru "would be the Porcupine summoner right now if he got off his high horse for five minutes when we got back"?

I tried to reduce the word-count on the plan without changing the meaning.
It should be 274 words more or less.
Here's the final result:
Continue the Group meeting
- Confirm OPSEC concerns beforehand
- Introduction:
- Team Uplift's goal is to improve the living conditions of everyone in the world. we've been focused on opposing and reshaping our civilization's self-destructive systems. That remains our priority.
- But the problem runs deeper: reality itself is fragile. Pain's plan was world-ending. Whatever his intentions were, the fact that a world-altering event on this scale can actually happen is terrifying. For you, it threw into stark relief some of the fundamental truths glimpsed by Sealing.
- deliberate human actions aren't even necessary. Reality is keen on tearing itself apart on its own. The damage from that is often catastrophic, and could be arbitrarily large. Worse still are the things that lurk outside, and occasionally seep through these tears: horrors of unfathomable power and malice, some of which can casually snuff out our entire universe.
- It's a terrible truth. We're meant to be cowed by it, stuck helpless with fear — the same way we're meant to be resigned to the EN's system of violence. As far as you're concerned, nothing changes: another terrible thing we'll need to eventually fix.
- It's currently above our pay grade, it doesn't mean we can't gather information.
- We have a large selection of leads we could pursue, but Pain is the most salient one.
- Points of discussion:
- Pain/Rinnegan's nature and powers.
- The ritual's purpose.
- "The Five, still sealed after a thousand years of sacrifice".
- The fate of the lost bijuu.
- The bird summon — an archaeopteryx?
- Provide Kagome with the detailed description of the ritual site, ask for his analysis.
- Yuno: Perhaps there's something relevant in Isan's cultural knowledge?
- Points of discussion:

- The state of Paranoia

*shrugs* Honestly, I'd prefer Haru get the scroll since Hazou and Akane are both FOOMing and are gonna have their XP/time full.

Why do you trust him with such a huge investment though? We barely know the guy, and what we know is that he is more loyal to the Hokage than Hazou.

I'd cut this entirely or at least the Haru portion.
We shouldn't need to lie about this decision and we shouldn't give him any wrong expectations. If he has issues with our leadership, I'd rather find out now and deal with them instead of when it boils over at a worse time.
He really hasn't earned our trust or loyalty yet.
E: Remember his reaction when we disclosed how Iron Nerve works to him? He was already surprised we trust him enough to do that. He doesn't need something ridiculous as a scroll on top of it to... buy his loyalty? I honestly don't get why he was even considered in the first place.
You don't hand someone you barely know a summoning scroll, that's just insane in my opinion.

Clarified the meeting a bit since EJ felt it was just vague talky stuff (which it is, sort of, but its important to have these from time to time with NPCs so that they aren't all Shocked Pikachu about things we wish to do.)
Hows this:
