Ouch, 2.2 per day? Do you have any specific critical feedback about the plan that you'd like to convey to us (other than GM-had-fun section)?
SC Training: Akane did 3 missions -- it's about a day's travel to the border on the Lightning side, and about a day and a half to the border on the Earth side. With 2 days average for Lightning side missions and 3 days average for Rock side missions, I'll say she was on mission for about 8 days, so 6 days of training opportunity out of 14, with XP spread evenly through the split. I'll also assume that Kei got 10 days of training opportunity, only taking part in the one Zoo Rush which involved two days travel time. Please correct me if these training opportunity guesses are wrong. Base 31, 1.0x and 1.4x:
Akane: (31 * 6/14 * 1.0) = +13.2 XP
Kei: (31 * 10/14 * 1.4) = +31.0 XP

Kei's build is pretty well optimized right now, there's not much that would improve her survivability. The main thing that I think would do so is leveling Vacuum Step, which helps get her out of a pinch -- doing so to level 20 would cost 77.5 XP, and is relatively inexpensive. Other than that though, there's really not much for her build to improve on, so I think Resolve training is a pretty safe option, especially given that she's a Summoner and unlikely to be risked on super dangerous missions with the new prominence of the Zoo Rush tactic.
[X] Training Kei: Resolve
Resolve 47 -> 50 (24 Yamanaka XP + 123 XP)
Save 29 XP.

Personally am not all convinced about the danger. Everyone is risking their lives in this war. Plus we can just cut through tea and then head to mist which should be safe

Noburi's build is in a similar spot without clear opportunities for improvement (except Alertness, which is somehow still at 30!) -- but it seems likely that more chakra will be needed both in his capacity as a Summoner and for Sage Mode. So:
[X] Training Noburi: Chakra Reserves
Chakra Reserves 25 -> 28 (162 XP)
Save 35 XP

You're welcome. :>
MfD players becoming experts in a field they've never heard of for an XP award
You can certainly invest in such a skill. Whether she can quickly get it to high enough levels to safely build a make underground bunker is a separate question.
Adopting a ninja from another clan into your own does not require a ticket, but it does require permission from their current clan head. Adopting a clanless ninja does not require permission but does require a ticket.
You have a habit of alluding to wild stories without actually telling them, even though the allusion is wordy enough that you could have simply told the story. Please don't do that. It's frustrating and, at least to me, it comes off as a little trollish.
Note that the information you're referencing is OOC information that Hazō dies not have.
He's having you do the training in part because Hazō can't do much of anything else right now and Kagome has no other major contribution he can make, since research on war-winning seals tends to be slow and unreliable.
It varies by mission. 3+1 squads are for training up genin / letting genin be useful while also relatively safe, not specifically for accomplishing missions. Also, it's far more frequent for training squad leaders to be chūnin then jōnin, simply due to the numbers of each.
Oh, it's safe to assume that she was doing the job and the other person was her backup.
Pretty much what I said, yes.

The purpose of the plan is not to go on a date with Snowflake, it is to bring to Hazou's awareness that Snowflake is interested at all. Then, knowing this, he can discuss with his partners the most respectful course of action that leaves everyone happy, up to and including possibly not dating her but not being an oblivious dumbass about it too

[X] He Blinded Me With Science
Word Count: Low
- After training Kagome for the day, ask Snowflake to hang out. It's wartime after all, so they should make memories together while they can! Hazou hasn't been around her nearly as long as the others.
- BE MINDFUL OF HER THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS, YOU WANT TO BE A SUPPORTIVE FRIEND AFTER ALL. NO SERIOUSLY HAZOU, PAY CLOSE ATTENTION.
- Ami-Style training: Have Snowflake toss practice Kunai at Hazou to help him train back up to field-readiness. Have Hazou face away and dodge them solely by the movement of their shadows.
- Do some reading at the library
- Celebrate Akane's birthday.
- Offscreen Stuff (Sanity Check with Mari):
- Ask Kagome if he's heard of any non-paper-and-ink Sealing practices. Search the library for information about it later.
- Ask permission to test Skysliders with Skywalkers. Ask Akane to use Shadow Clone to test boarding a Skyslider from Skywalkers, perform a few high altitude tests to evaluate performance.
- If all goes well, update Asuma on current Skyslider capabilities.
- The first successful Skyslider, model name "Michiki", has been made.
- Should the team produce more of this model, or should they focus on refining it first?
- Emphasize the contributions of the civilian team
- If all goes well, update Asuma on current Skyslider capabilities.
- Hazoulation:
- Give the team a large bonus.
- Suggest waterproofing possibilities for team to investigate similar to waterproofing sails: soak silk in tannins, weave or layer with linen, hemp or wool, treat with wax
- Congratulate them and thank them, but note that their work isn't over yet.
- Tools like this could be imperative to winning the war
- Any improvements to stability, flight speed, and duration could be helpful.

My bad, misread that.
The final days of the smallpox eradication campaign.
"I'm an American, and I'm here to help."
[X] Action Plan: Preparing the Skysliders
- Continue development through field testing it with ninja. Work with Asuma for OPSEC secure location for testing
- Ask team to continue improving the design which is also faster/easier to build while retaining quality.
- Hazo knows he's asking a lot of the team.
- Internal inspiration: Hazo's experience with figuring out the fastest way to do something.
- How fast can they make a quality skyslider right now, with no change in design?
- No guarantee, but what resources do the team need? (Labor, materials, etc?)
- At the hokage's convenience. Do a show and tell on the current state of skyslider designs.
- Strategic implication: Long distance penetration raid, improved skywalker efficiency, evasion, reconnaissance, and faster communication.
- Not quite there yet. Only two working prototypes.
- Praise the design team for doing all the design, ingenuity and the hard work for something everyone but Hazo thought impossible or crazy.
- Skyslider credit is 99.999% the team.
- If the hokage decided to order Skysliders, celebrate it with a formal dinner with the core Goketsu family.
- Request resources from the hokage
- Assistance in funding the skyslider team's R&D effort, and payment for each skyslider delivered.
- Exclusive contract between the Goketsu and the tower.
- Assistance in funding the skyslider team's R&D effort, and payment for each skyslider delivered.

Sanity Check with who is present(Kei/Mari/ect)
- Skyslider Team.
- Hazou always believed this:
- Civilians are not inferior to Hazou.
- Hazou can destroy, protect more, but the Will Of Fire burns the same in everyone.
- And we stand here, vindicated.
- Do they understand what they did? How many ninja tried to obtain the power they created?
- They, civilians, without chakra, gave Leaf flight. Everyone's effort is equal, for what matters the body to the fire in our souls and mind.
- They did, with the skill they cultivated, they reached for a power that eluded ninja for so long.
- Thank you, for proving you right.
- Is "Hazoulator" right? You just gave them the chance to create it.
- This name will be a beacon that shows what the civilians of Leaf, of Goketsu, can give Leaf. If they decide it's Hazoulator, so be it. But they deserve the honor and glory more than you, in your opinion.
- Today, a feast to your comrades, whose dignity is not inferior to yours, for they gave Leaf what you couldn't, and for proving you right.
- This is just the start, new projects await, making Leaf stronger with every one.
- We will be "The Quiet Flame". It burns quieter, but it is no less powerful. One day, everyone will know that alongside the flame of the Ninjas, The Quiet Flame protects Leaf with the same zeal and power.
- Hazou always believed this:
- Explain Akane's situation, skillset and time-sensitive nature(With her consent) of the situation to Cannai . Does he have a Jutsu that can help her survive? You won't teach to anyone else aside from her,you just want her safe.
- Ask Noburi to do the same with the Toads.
- Search the library for appropriate jutsus.
- Prepare OPSEC training/measures for the Quiet Flame.

...why would we need approval to invite someone to dinner with ourselves?
Nope. It's about whether if Asuma is in maniacal laughter or signed a contract with the Goketsu for payment for delivery of skyslider.
Then it's a clear signal to celebrate the skyslider's team success.
Changed the wording to fix the confusion.

Sounds like an EJ update imo.
Skyslider specs + Rat/Leopard scroll info

Skysliders have the following characteristics:
- The pilot lies down in a wooden tube that has levers up front and pedals at the back.
- Numbers:
- 8:1 glide ratio (about half of what a modern hang glider has), meaning that if you launch from a mile in the air then you can go eight miles before landing. Obviously, you can extend this distance by gaining altitude from a thermal, or by ridge running.
- 40' wide by 15' long.
- Weighs about 90 pounds, mostly from the wooden tube that the pilot lies down in.
- Max speed under optimal conditions of 25-30 mph -- slightly faster than a running ninja. Speed under normal conditions is about 15-20 mph. Going slower than 10-15mph will offend the sky spirits which leads to, as Michiki puts it, rapid terrain approach, lithobraking, and a resulting major enlargement of the airframe's no-launch window.
- It is possible, although dangerous, to use jutsu while flying as long as weather conditions are calm. You need to place your forearms on the steering levers in order to free your hands to make handseals. This is contraindicated by the design team, although they are a bunch of civilians so they aren't going to tell a ninja that it's incredibly dangerous and stupid. Regardless, using jutsu while flying is like driving with your knee while you use both hands to light a cigarette -- you can do it, but you shouldn't and you definitely shouldn't do it often or when you're under stress.
- Their performance characteristics (speed, stability, etc) vary somewhat from day to day depending on how grumpy the sky spirits are feeling. [NB: This actually means atmospheric conditions such as temperature, pressure, humidity, wind, etc.]
- They handle bad weather poorly. If it starts to rain or a major windstorm comes up, you want to get on the ground quickly or else the sky spirits are likely to become offended.
- They turn like a barge and if you try to turn too fast you will definitely offend the sky spirits.
- Occasionally the sky spirits get offended for no particular reason.
They did not. They are all cripples of one kind or another who don't get sent on missions unless there's no other choice.
They do still sign up on missions at the mission desk of their own accord, but that's less often.
| Canvass - Bloodhound | Tracker | 117 |
| Cantelope - Malamute | Combat | 162 |
| Cangue - Afghan Hound | Combat | 137 |
| Canaut - St Bernard | Combat | 153 |
| Canabisu - Terrier | Diplomat | 147 |
The above are now canon and on Hazō's sheet.
They seem good to us.
The Rats and Leopards were in fact at the Conclave despite my earlier error. Noburi and Kei spent some time talking to them. You learned the following:
- The Rat Scroll was last held by a ninja of the Crimson Sunrise clan. No one has heard from him in a hundred years and the Scroll is presumed lost. The Rats did not recognize any of the names (Wind Country, Rock, Cloud, Land of Fire, etc) that Noburi and Kei tried on them, so presumably the summoner was from somewhere well off the beaten track. Also, notice that they haven't checked in since before the Village System came into existence.
- The Leopard Scroll is currently in active use, although the Leopards are being cagey about the name of their Summoner or his/her location.
We are not convinced that this is possible to build with the resources and knowledge available to you, and even less convinced that it's possible to maintain OPSEC while doing so.

Whoa whoa whoa whoa wait what???? A new scroll? They only broke off from the cats recently-ish, long after the Sage's time. A new scroll popped into existence or someone can still make them/modify them!
My "the Sage is from Konosuba" theory grows stronger by the day

Has anyone in Leaf (or Yuno) ever heard of the Crimson Sunrise clan? I assume our intelligence about the Eastern Continent is abysmal.

Not worth pursuing while we have much better options TBH. We have a great opportunity to grab the kraken right now and that would only require 2 more for everyone important in the clan

@eaglejarl @Velorien Do we know how old Gaku is? When should we start pushing him to take a dedicated apprentice, provided he hasn't already got one?
Oof. What even is the point of what we did to him. "Suffer and be humiliated to an unprecedented extent for killing these Yakuza. Now go destroy a civilian town because they make food that other civilians rely on to not die".
