If we're not using MARS (which we want to remain a secret weapon) then we will need to activate debuffs one at a time. That probably means only activating one debuff per round so we can save a Supplemental Action to use Substitution on our dodge. But yes, as Pangolins don't have Substitute, they cannot use it on their dodge. Of course, maybe they'll have something else. The Hyenas didn't seem to, but others might.
I actually think our sonics are the bigger infobleed, not MARS. 7th pathians know nothing of sealing, except maybe a few that work very heavily with human summoners, if those summoners use and explain seals in detail. activating just 2 seals at once would be unremarkable, or assumed to be a stunt("activate an extra seal per turn"). We aren't activating a squad's worth of combat seals, just 2. The sonics are much easier to notice, and to prepare counters to.
Do I think sonics are a bad plan, and/or MARS is a good plan? dunno. just pointing this out.
Not acidshill, but for me, I would like to see this Hidan plotline play out at the very least. That's what I'm most interested at this point. In addition to that, I'd like to get Mareo to Leaf.
really glad you mentioned Mareo, I've been quote-hunting for his last chapter to bring him up again!
but also, he's going senile, and attacks Hazou on bad days. Leaf will be a very unfamiliar environment. Mareo appears at least senior Jounin level. do we have a plan for him not killing half the Goketsu compound when he forgets where he is and thinks he's been captured?
Realistically, comfortable familiar quiet in bear might be best for him, unless I missed any bright ideas.

Thank you for reminding when Hinata saved Kei. that's a great include. I prefer to include the Shino thing also, and encourage
@faflec to add the Hinata bit to their plan, as it seems like a strict improvement, and lets me vote for thanking Hinata while still keeping the Shino meeting.
