Marked for Death: A Rational Naruto Quest

Reader mode
If Gaku doesn't want a promotion we shouldn't force it. He also doesn't seem to want the publicity. Also he's good at being a secretary but that doesn't mean he's good at doing whatever he would do in his promoted position. Although it looks likes he would just be doing the same things as before but finalizing stuff.

(also note that I doubt Candoru will lose to chakra beasts though, so taking him means we're committing to going on a relatively dangerous mission).

imo the trick here is making Candoru face multiple enemies at once. He might be fine against one chakra beast, but we can go into the mines and send ten his way at once. If he handles that just fine, then twenty.

We don't even need to be careful. If we bring a complete overkill of 100 beasts down on his head and he pops, well, that's exactly what we're looking for. All we need to make sure is that we ourselves have an exit strategy if things get too hot, which isn't hard.

Cannai is so reasonable. Hazou just has to be polite and we get politeness back! This is unprecedented!

I know! Dealing with reasonable people just feels like cheating.

Also, I believe that Carthage should be destroyed.

[X] Hubris and Greed:
  • Preparations:
    • Discuss with Gouketsu for approval and suggestions.
    • Ask for Keiko's cooperation, be willing to reimburse the Nara and her personally for it.
    • Ask summon clans to what extent they are comfortable working together on this operation
      • Separate teams?
    • Coordinate with the Tower to see where they want us to do this for maximum impact and political considerations.
    • Hire a skilled medic nin or two to acompany us on an A-Rank mission
    • Hire ninja(s) who know how to track, predict, manipulate, and harvest the beasts in the target area
  • The rampage
    • Goals
      • The idea is to capture chakra beasts, drain them to death, and use the chakra for a positive sum loop.
      • This is a trial run.
        • Work out kinks
        • Get an idea of how much chakra we can get, and how much land we can pacify.
        • This run is not expected to be profitable.
    • Methods
      • Noburi sweeps rivers and lakes
      • Non clone, non medic scout in teams
      • Summons and clones engage
        • Where possible, herd chakra beasts into places where Noburi can drain them without engaging.
      • Have large reservoirs of sealed water for flooding nests and burrows
  • The spoils:
    • Anything we kill gets harvested and doled between the participants (including summons)
    • If we start getting more chakra than we can hold, use it to build MEW walls for nearby settlements
      • If we start making so many walls that its suspicious, just cast expensive jutsu.

[x] (Candoru) Yes. Respectfully tell Candoru that you look forward to working with him

We don't need to beat him up until he actually acts up, but we shouldn't be unwilling to fight when he inevitably does. Until then, we can merely schedule a pleasant excursion into our mine where we agitate waves of chakra beasts and send them his way until he gets overwhelmed, and then rinse and repeat until the mine is cleared.

Overall this is a very happy update.

Mine stuff seems reasonable but we should file a notice with the tower just in case we get overwhelmed and cause a chakra beast incursion that requires broader response.

For clarity: The goal of the vote is to determine how you react in that moment, not to set a general policy. Are you trying to say "Yes. Be respectful but kick him in the teeth if he is anything less than completely respectful in response"?

Ah, I see. Let me rephrase myself:
[x] (Candoru) Yes. Be respectful but don't be afraid to kick him in the teeth if he is overly disrespectful to us or those we care about.
 
[x] (Candoru) Yes. Respectfully accept him. Use all your might to— gently boop him in the nose with great speed should he interrupt you.


I feel as if making the point that smacking the lil' guy around is within our abilities without actually doing it is good for dominance.
 
@eaglejarl @Velorien @OliWhail Does the "prep work" bonus when doing sealing research apply to the Calligraphy roll in addition to the Sealing roll? Rulesdoc isn't clear.

[x] (Candoru) Yes. Respectfully accept him. Use all your might to— gently boop him in the nose with great speed should he interrupt you.

So... He fits right in?

Welp. Time to go explore the cave and go hunting chakra beasts! Let's go on a dungeon crawl!

Hm...how did Kakashi put it? Ah, yes. You will have every authority to 'kick the little bastard around the training field a few times' if you feel the need."

On one hand: now we now why Noburi called Kakashi "Mister Kakashi." On the other, now I'm kinda sad we never got to meet him.

eaglejarl said:
Was he grumbling or screaming?"

"Grumbling, sir."

"He's pleased with their progress."

This made me laugh far more than it probably should have xD

Which is good for Neji and also great for the Hyuuga, provided there's a sort of clan tax system in place.

I mean... Also yes. It fits Noburi, too x3
 
[x] (Candoru) Yes. Be respectful but don't be afraid to kick him in the teeth if he is overly disrespectful to us or those we care about.

If he says anything less than absolutely respectful about Keiko and Tenten, let's kill... I mean... Pop him a few dozen times.

Kei had practised this part. Repeatedly. At Noburi. His feedback had been flippant but ultimately useful.

"Through sophisticated sealcrafting research," she said in her most assertive voice, "we have been able to create towers that do not require structural support, can be built at any height given sufficient time, and are virtually impossible to move or damage with material force. I will now demonstrate how quickly such a tower can be constructed, and how effective it is subsequently."

She reached for the first storage scroll.
