Thanks for catching that
God damn it I knew I would miss it
Truth
Best. Teacher. Ever.
God dAMN IT WHY. My poor old ticker can't take another stress update, @Velorien
(good job tho)

We can get to the islands even if we are in Fire. But this does raise a question:
@Velorien @eaglejarl Where exactly are we on the map? If we decided not to follow the route in the plan where are we heading?

In retrospect, should have gone with water crossing and braved chakra monsters, eh?
I could use some clarification on where we are on the map rn. Border of HS and Fire, I guess, but maybe more precise? @Velorien ? @eaglejarl ?
I think going to lightning means crashing right into pursuit.
Hmm... Depending on where we are.. Who wants to try for Rice?
I feel you mate, tho for me it tends to be a headache. It's okay. Grab some tea?

This, this right here is my silver lining from the update. :3
But come on Kagome, what else is Hazou supposed to do when

Alright guys, time to get our collective head in the fucking game. Is there anything to do, realistically, that isn't "chakra boost and pick a direction to run in"?
Maybe throw a stupid-box behind us? Or a timed explosive (do we have those) or PMYF seal lying on the ground with no room to release its contents?
Send patrols of clones off different directions, or better yet send them the same direction as our current one and change directions ourselves?
Same, buddy. Just keep breathin.

Well, there's the one option to deal with the situation. We blitz the Leaf team, murderize it and run away even faster.
I mean, we already have few of their friends in our scrolls, might as well make some room for more, right?

You're following the blue route of the plan, and are currently near the H in Hot Springs.

To think, all of this could've been avoided if only more of y'all went along with my suggestion to get a closer look at snake church :>
Isn't there only one by definition?
Somebody write it down so we can say this word for word to J

Rice! Rice! Rice!

Wait, Mari told us our plan was stupid but agreed to it anyway...?

She refused to go to the Swamp of Death or Waterfall, instead going to Iron by the shortest route that doesn't involve crossing into Rice.

This is what happens when you make deals with Jashin-sama, they get interpreted very literally. So we got out of the fight with J alive, but now we're all gonna die.
I do have siblings who will probably also have first-borns though, and worst comes to worst I am a first-born, so we can survive at most 4 more of these situations (well, 3 after this). We good.
Problem is, this depends on it being a weak patrol. How much are you willing to gamble there? Especially given current injuries?
Even Mari knows it's a terrible idea, guys
E: it here being Rice

We failed TM so we have to fight. We need to kill the Leaf patrol BEFORE the Hot Springs squad catches up.
@Velorien can we spend XP on combat stats given the last update?

Not sound officially iirc, but a few years back rice nin got surprisingly competent.
Mate...
Well, their rolls aren't that impressive, just our stealth sucks and TM dice hate us.

I would say not, but since this could be important I'll get a second opinion from @eaglejarl when he wakes up.

- Yes.
I'm basing it on what happened with Liberator Village

That is typically how one goes about acquiring first-borns, yes

In there we discussed it ahead that we're dedicating time for a new style, and that it will count as training once we get the crunch down. This is not the same at all :/I'm basing it on what happened with Liberator Village

Did you just.
Why am I always stuck playing the straight man in this thread??

In case we ever want to establish a ME (with Hazou or a new PC (if it comes to that)), I'm just going to respond to all of the inquiries people had had earlier as I now finally have the time to do so.
Skip this if you want to continue understandably scrambling.
This is probably due to a bit of miscommunication on my part.
Smart, as in intelligent, people are useful. However, we also need people who are wise enough to know not to push their luck with us.
Honami was intelligent, yes, but she also made a foolish mistake to break a magical murder hobo's disguise. It was a clever ploy, but all she was left with was a pissed off ninja of unknown disposition or abilities sitting in front of her. If Hazou had really wanted to, he could have easily killed her instead of muffling her.
Smart fools (high intelligence, low wisdom (not in game stats since they do not directly affect a character's personality, but you get the idea)) can create havoc unintentionally by doing something that is immediately clever, but failing to account for the fallout of said action.
I'd prefer recruiting smart, wise people whose only notable character flaw is greed so that we still have some leverage over them. To have further control over their ambitions, I added in checks and limitations to prevent them from causing issues to us, but at the same time still give them enough incentive to continue working with us. Carrot and stick motivation at its core.
