Whatever chakrAI wants to be ground that day. I'm certain it's not consistent. We don't know that it's pulling either IIRC, we suspect that it is.

I went searching for the Tae Kwon Do move I mentioned and got distracted by this this gem instead. Worth a watch, though I recommend skipping to the relevant parts.

My point was that these two statements are definitely inconsistent.

As if the difference in greeting wasn't enought to easily distinguish between them.
Kei was at the meeting, so there would be no need for Shikamaru to brief her on it.
I'm mentally filing this away under "things to keep an eye on."
TIL the Elemental Nations have a G-Rated version of The Oregon Trail.
This is why I am no longer able to play Monopoly with my extended family. Some people just can't understand that creating a housing shortage is a perfectly valid (and supremely effective) strategy....
Ah yes, redirecting the conversation away from our misery by talking about the reason they are so worn out. How nice of us.
I am mentally pronouncing this as "AFK" and there's nothing you can do to stop me.
Speaking of pronunciations, @Velorien, is 'Kei' (as in the name of our sister) pronounced as in 'けい'?
an act of refusing to continue to follow, obey, or recognize a religious faith
huh, good to know
I am missing the logic of this. Entirely.
Sounds like it's quite personal to her.
If we act on this information, we need to confirm it first. "Trust but verify," as my dad used to say when checking to see if 9 year-old me had done his homework.
MAJOR OPSEC BREACH
If KEI can learn about this, than other, more-hostile groups can as well. We need to immedieately investigate this and determine how this information was leaked, how much is known (and by whom), and what new procedures we can put into place to make sure this doesn't happen again.
Remember that time Ino thought board-game nights were Gōketsu tentacle hentai orgies and still went to one? Ah, good times.
We explicitly made Mari's retirement a condition of our Skywalker/Skytower exchange. This deal was made with the Tower. If she want to serve her clan, that's her perogitive, but if she doesn't want to perform soul-crushing, extremely-dangerous missions for Leaf than that's her call.
If the Tower demands her in the field when she doesn't want to go....
~~~~~
I'm skipping my analysis of Kei talking about Mari because I'm sure that's already been heavily covered and it would take my ages to type out all my thoughts.

Read literally the next eight words in the sentence.

Let me rephrase.
While it is not inconsistent that Hazō (and Kei) were the last to arrive, it was because took care of something right before the meeting. Hazō was not slowed by his cripling injuries/need to use a cane. Hazō did not put his best efforts into arriving as soon as possible, which would have excluded his talk with Kei.
One chapter implies that he was able to arrive at the meeting before almost everyone else. The next implies that his physical injuries forced him to arrive late despite him trying his best to arrive as soon as possible.
Unless.... is this sentence a reference to his injuries forcing him to arrive to the meeting slower than Kei, since they both finished their meeting at the same time? They should have both been right next to the door when they reappeared so even that is a little unbelivable.

My picture of it, at least, is that they had their conversation a short distance down the hall instead of literally in front of the Hokage's door. Everyone else arrived and went in while Kei and Hazō were talking, then Kei walked down the hall at normal speed and into the room while Hazō limped in after her.

I'm terrified of the horrific monstrosity that is what people in the Elemental Nations call a "doe," knowing what I do about what they call "sheep."
You don't need to explain it to her. We trust her implicitly; we can just show her in our mindscape.
Of course, that's if Hazō actually has a mind that Ino can peer into. It would be hilarious if we try and show her something for a romantic moment and she sees all of u̶̼͇̦͋̀̚s̷̼͌͗̀ behind the curtain. Hmmm....I should totally turn that into an OMAKE. Would anyone want to read that?
ok that got a quiet chuckle out of me
Mari could 100% social the shop owner into helping her with a prank. Or set him up as a plant from the start. Or any number of things. She's just luring you into a false sense of security, Hazō, don't get complacent.

Omit Needless Words
Ami got you. Lady Kei is the Clan Head of the Kei Clan, who is a distinct individual from Nara Kei, the consort of the Nara Clan and one of the coordinators of the KEI.
Consolidate all the discontents in one place, an organization even, which you could then subvert at your leisure and covertly control, instead of letting these people stew all over the place as a truly-chaotic uncontrollable mass of disaffection.
I assume, anyway.
I think that was Shiori.
I would!

oh that makes sense!
I mean, I'm not sure the cost-benefit works out too well on that versus preventing the oposition force from forming at all, but at least there's some logic too it.

Strictly speaking, they have an accurately-rated version of Tokaido.
Yes.
Fun fact: this is actually a Russian rhyming proverb derived from the works of Lenin and Stalin.

Really?! In the US it's known as the catchphrase of the right wing cowboy president, Ronald Reagan. The guy who supposedly (according to conservatives) destroyed the Soviet Union by spending them into oblivion with various military projects and proxy wars.

The only problem i can find is : wouldn't that mean a Mori Jonin(Or possibly any Thinker clan) would shot up to S-rank rolls using the technique? Assuming (Primary Stats = 60; FS = 50) that would mean...
- +6 Initiative, 12 Tags. 8 tags for a total of (Primary Stat=60, AB 7) 56 = 60 +56 = 116
Even assuming Mori ninjas are simply unwilling to use the techniques except in the gravest of circumstances, to the point that once they reach said moment using it is already useless, the Mori aren't talked as this insane clan of badass whose ninja are capable of mythic feats of warfare such as "I now roll so hard i break the three digits" (in fact, Ami taking point was considered something admirable, at least to Kei).
Let's take for example the 15 vs 3 Battle in Unheard
I assume the Sannin weren't yet at their best, at least not yet the Hanzo of the Salamander of their generation, but reasonably scary EJonin/S-rankers(Or alternatively Jonins to Ryuugamine and co being Chuunin).I imagine Mori suddenly becoming a 116+ Ranged/Taijutsu/Something ninja would have quite changed the outcome of the fight. without even talking about the insane levels a Mori EJonin would reach.
Basically it seems a suicide technique that is going to murder anyone up to one step above of the person using it and i don't know much sense a suicide technique that overpowered make sense in a world in which people like Asuma, Anko, Mari regulary goes on the field and return for years on end, with no one being scared of these invicible suicide-ninja capable of annihilating anyone that isn't light-years above their levels.
Of course, i'm writing this fully knowing that:
A) We don't know the stats of a Jonin, Elite Jonin or S-ranker
b) We don't know the techniques the three above could have.
Maybe Asuma/Anko/Mari/other Clan nins have enough shinies that a Mori of their level(Or just below) using the suicide technique isn't a 100% death sentence for them. Or maybe the world make sense and i'm just missing something, just my feedback.

This would change the current rules. Which do not treat gases differently from solids/liquids.
Ok, when I read Velorien & paperclipped I was ready to start praising Jashin, but Eaglejarl's comment has me swinging absolutely in the opposite direction. We're obviously missing something here.

Clearly Hazō cheated without being aware of it. Truly, we are such a skilled ninja that we can even deceive ourselves.

From Discord, as a reminder:
btw, do we know how the Pangolings outpaced the dogs on long distance or how they reached them throught the Hyena Clan?
Panda was with them, after all, and he's her closest [Kei] summon

Does this mean Snowflake won the vote? Or is she being sneaky and using it behind Kei's back? >:3
