What's the plan otherwise? That we're going to mount a series of expeditions into a dangerous land, from a rift that's several days travel away, with resources we might have to source from Leaf? And Asuma doesn't notice his golden goose suddenly taking a week's vacation in the general direction of what said goose believes is a portal to the afterlife? A portal he commissioned a mission to not that long ago? Not to mention all the scrutiny we're no doubt under because of EM nuke; even if Asuma didn't know about the rift, he might be worried we suddenly went missing to nuke someone.

Obviously we start taking missions before we open the rift to create a pattern that we will be out of the village and out of site from Asuma. He won't know we're opening the rift because he won't realize we are there

Oh gosh, I guess Hazou'll just need to go do some real exciting ninja missions then, won't he? Maybe he'll heist important documents or capture key enemy personnel or hunt down missing-nin or something risky and exciting and fun. How awful. I know the lighthouse Gouketsu Estate is nice and everything but if the necromission demands it, he'll have to suffer to keep OPSEC.

This is such a bad take. First Oro promised that he would never hurt us to Tsunade. If he breaks that Tsunade will go and try to kill him. Second Oro has been pro social in all of our interactions. Time and time again he's shown that he likes us and is willing to pay for our help. Thirdly he literally gets nothing for killing us and looses out on all the cool stuff we would bring him in the future.

It's more the tone. We're telling him his notes are 'cute?' And then disrespecting him by not responding but showing off a 3D seal and not sharing anything about it, but 'allowing' him to buy it? Seems needlessly antagonistic.

Yes. Lets remain respectful and courteous with the Scary Snake Sannin, please.

Taunting him is not a sane idea; it will not benefit us in any way, it will not build a relationship with him like it would a more typical person, etc. We do not want to tempt SSS to come up with clever methods of revenge that comply with 'no murder or vivisecting Hazo'.
 
Extended duration skywalkers. Last longest time someone would run without a break.
What's the benefit here vs. the other sealing projects we have in the hopper? I don't think that the limited duration of Skywalkers has ever come up as a problem in the narrative. QMs please don't get ideas.
Training accident or food poison koi caretakers for excuse to examine them?
They would see right through this. How many caretakers do we have, anyway? Involving them in the planning for the new estate is probably wise and might be revealing.
Something for Noburi to ask Tsunade? High enough medical skills soon to study his own bloodline for SC safety?
This is a good idea once we've secured our position with her. 'I don't know anything about this and trading with my clan for the secrets is going to be a non-starter. This is something unique I can do with medical relevance but I have no idea what the limits might be. Where should I start?' I think Tsunade outright said that she's an expert on bloodlines when she shut Hazo's off after viewing the Great Seal so she should have some ideas.
 
Is there any way to slip in "can we give seals to genin to help them survive?" Since we have a scene with Asuma? People raised "tower wouldn't let us" as concern last time we talked about giving seals to genin?

Extended duration skywalkers. Last longest time someone would run without a break. Disadvantage. Must use without break. Rapidly lose charge after first use if not running.

Man time. Hit golf balls off a skytower with Asuma.Rocket Jump seals on golf clubs. Invite Akane's Dad.

Oh my fucking God. If I'm right the world building is ridiculous. Yall are ridiculous.

People usually develop jonin aura after having kids (pure speculation, but seperated the corrolations of age and jōninhood), because The Look is how you activate it. This is why it's separate from other skills, and is why kei had a proto aura. She spent so much time learning to communicate non-verbally that she's learned to press a couple of the right buttons, but not the full suite that The Look does.

Edit: oh my god, if they can't get it normally, ninja get assigned genin teams until they develop it ^_^

[X] spend a week in charge of the Horizon runners nursery to develop Jōnin Aura.

OR he could take R&D missions that're classified and therefore written down as regular missions.

You know, lighthousing missions. Where we spend weeks doing research.

:)
 
KABUTO: Hey kid, congrats on joining the "Orochimaru doesn't hate your company" club! We have T-shirts, but you probably shouldn't ask what they're made of, or why they keep whimpering in horror.

+1 free tag on Medknow AB, when rolling for Intimidation.
Better idea:

1 free tag on your opponent's Medknow, when rolling for Intimidation. Just how much do they know about that jacket? >:3

This implies that Orochimaru has kids out there...

And isn't that horrifying?

Yes - IMO (if we have wordcount) we should directly address his concerns around appearing to give Goketsu something for nothing. If we can hand him some wins - like flooding the Tower with storage seals to pass along to genin - then we might be able to get more out of him.
 
What intimidation bonus would one get for a lab coat of genuine Astartes Shinobi hide, I wonder? Orochimaru does have some overlap with Fabulous Bile. I'm sure they would enjoy bonding over anecdotes ("Where do get your specimens" - "I made myself indispensible to the local power structure, now they deliver their own to my doorstep" - "Well I try to get something similar set up, but the neighborhood is alot more volatile. Keeps you on your toes")

This. Also, I think the tower banning it is unlikely and would like that part of the discussion resolved.

Honestly if we time it right Shino can simultaneously announce his intention to provide a supply of telescopes to every specjonin or something. We can get the Nara, Kei, KEI, and Yamanaka on-side.

And everyone else can fucking catch up. What are they going to do - be mad we're literally embodying the Will of Fire?
