I think it would definitely take a conversation between Takahashi and need to know personnel. His control might still be weak, but if we can we can entice them with some jutsu? (The ones Orochimaru gave us?)
The goals of this plan are a little opaque to me. Can you clarify what outcomes you're hoping to achieve?
Lecture isn't the tone I'm looking for. I'll steer away from that explicitly.
Creating trust with Asuma first steps. Long term disaster security. Sorry, the wording failed if the plan is opaque. Not expecting to want to do the amount of editing this cycle deserves.
If the minus XP on the spreadsheet is chronological, there were a handful of gs before this one.
This would be disastrous, because we're not supposed to tell her anything about EM.
Yes. Mistake out of habit.
Wow, the imagery. Not our roof. Not even allowed to use EM to warm up the plants anymore.
Asuma has burned through all trust, huh. How would Hiruzen rate his son's decisions?
Could he have a different motive? Most basic concern would be to have more to rely on than our word.
Thought it would be better to think of pink elephants than what needs to be hidden?
No comment on the Asuma conversation. Interesting that he did not have noteworthy, tailored things to say to Akane. Wrote us off as a monolith?
These have to be Asuma's most trusted operators. Who would he pick to safeguard EM?
Has this Owl shown up before? If they have, we know they are Yamanaka.
Oh no, the YOUTH hazard has breached confinement!
Do the Aburame usually go first in meetings? Feels like a thing.
No heads up? Not the kind of thing to let go without compensation. Worth trading behind the scenes benefits for Asuma to publicly tie his reputation to ours. Not so easy to take his ball home if it makes others in his favor question the weight of his word.
This standard of accountability is unacceptable and needs to be overcome in a postnuke world.
This hurts.
Deflated. Coming down from a victory high? Chilling but fun read!
This would of course be a suicide mission. The only question is how do we prevent the whole Clan Gokētsu from feeling the fallout of "your previous Clan head caused a sealing failure twice in a row, one of which killed our beloved Hokage and three Jonin at a time where Leaf was already low on firepower" for the next X generations.
And Enma will agree to this why? He's been allied with Leaf since whenever Hiruzen got the scroll, if not longer.
Two things:
I like several parts of your plan but I don't think testing in the same place is a good idea. Right now it is officially considered a sealing failure. Doing it again there would make the likelihood that people deduce it isn't much bigger. I also don't think that now is the time to propose weird experiments with EM. Nor do I get why we would want to do that in the first place.
