@eaglejarl @Velorien If we submit multiple plans to her and Keiko can we get their opinion to decide which we'll end up doing?

Clones have a maximum range of ~150m. That's probably not far enough away for us to be able to sneak away after they pass us.
I would frame it that we're suggesting our best (to us) plan to Mari, and if she doesn't like that, going down the list. No reason why having contingencies like that should be less XP.

In the team's experience, very rare, although that does depend on how pure you're going. Of course, this could be a reflection on Hidden Mist as much as on ninja in general.
Yes. Yes, he could. For the low, low price of his very immortal soul.
The catch with using the Transformation Technique while doing sealing research is that if an experimental failure deals damage to you, and pops your disguise and you're already injured, you're in serious trouble. This means you have to go even more slowly and carefully than normal, which cancels out the benefit of ignoring injuries.
The Transformation Technique requires you to have a complete chakra shell, since it replaces your real body.
Also, you need to have seen a creature/object of a category before being able to transform into it. If you've never seen a cat, you can't use the technique to turn into a cat. If you've never seen a freakish mutant, you can't turn into that freakish mutant. Of course, if you find yourself in need of freakish mutants to examine, I'm sure something can be arranged...
It wouldn't really work with the MfD system as is, since both Noburi and soldier pills already indiscriminately overcharge the target's chakra system with no (short-term) ill effects.

@Velorien @eaglejarl sorry to keep pinging you guys but:
And/or what's the rate of chakra burn, just so we can do some math?
I was being facetious but this sounds like a good idea
- Location
- The Deep Blue Sea
Does this apply to Akane and Kagome's experiences as well?
- Location
- Yes.
@Velorien @eaglejarl @Jackercracks Can we get chakra water from Noburi's barrel and drink it while running at chakra-enhanced speeds?

Questions are being hammered out between GMs.
NOTE: Let's extend the voting deadline until 6pm Pacific time tomorrow.
Also, I will not penalize you XP for checking your plans with the rest of the party. I pretty much assume you always do that regardless. You've got about 3 minutes to sort this out, which isn't unlimited time but should be enough unless you get really long. For reference -- by my definitions, the following dialogue takes about 3 minutes to read at normal conversational speed. You'll be talking faster so you can fit a little bit more in, although not an unlimited amount.

Even if they end up talking, I'd expect the leaf team to have serious issues with the Hot Springs Ninja going into Fire. Barring the treaty already have contingencies that Leaf would accept built into it, which is possible but something Mari should know about, this is something that I'd think would eat a good amount of time if it doesn't come down to violence.

[] Proto-Action Plan: Bravely Bold Sir Robin
If at any point we choose to fight we commit to having to fight both a Leaf patrol and our very pissed off Hot Springsfanboysstalkerspursuers. We need to bug out. Faster, this time.
Goals:
Help.
If at any point we choose to fight we commit to having to fight both a Leaf patrol and our very pissed off Hot Springs
Goals:
- Survive.
- Run away.
- Slow the enemy down.
- Disappear.
- Run away.
- We're using chakra boost. 100%.
- Canteens out, we drink up from Noburi after we use like 5% chakra or something. We want no less than 95% chakra at any time, except Noburi who has more chakra than unbroken bones.
- We do not stop. We are running and drinking at the same time.
- If we have to, just pee ourselves. Hazou has experience
- The primary goal is speed. We want to widen the gap to the point where we can go into full stealth mode and roll natural
20s100s without them being able to catch up. - (Discuss with Mari/Keiko!) We can change our direction so that if we have to fight we meet the Leaf patrol or the Hot Springs squad first.
- East/Northeast: The Leaf patrol are probably weaker and if we kill them without sustaining serious injury we don't have to worry about a flank. But if the Hot Springs patrol catches up we're SOL.
- North/Northeast: The Hot Springs squad are the stronger squad, but that also means they'll get there faster. It'll give us a longer window to fight them (before the Leaf patrol would catch up) but will be more dangerous.
- Slow the enemy down.
- Throw traps everywhere. Stupid boxes with delayed explosive tags to trigger some time later, implosion seals, Force Wall seals parallel to the earth...
- We are throwing traps, not hiding them. We prioritize speed over setting up well-hidden traps that they apparently could find anyway.
- Earth and Water Clones to lead enemies down the wrong place.
- (Optional) Make a MEW and attach Five-Seal Barrier to it. The barrier seals don't have to be aligned and we don't have to actually make the giant slab of rock perfect. We want them to think it's perfect, and to waste time finding the seals.
- Throw traps everywhere. Stupid boxes with delayed explosive tags to trigger some time later, implosion seals, Force Wall seals parallel to the earth...
- Disappear.
- Once we've made enough distance we go full stealth mode and follow the closest river system, get to Iron. More clones in various directions, but only at the start: Once we start moving in stealth, we want to not do anything that gives our position away.
Help.

I don't understand what this is going to do.
- Location
- Yes.
Basically it'll make them think this is our bunker, there's a 5-Seal Barrier on it. They need to find the other seals to get in, and go search for the other seals. What they don't know is that it's a fake (at first), and the other 4 seals don't exist.
I honestly don't think it'll work but I don't care enough about proposing stupid ideas to not propose it. Every stupid idea is worth speaking of, so long as we immediately discard them once it becomes clear it won't work.

Just so there's no confusion: it takes about 3 minutes to read the dialogue, skipping over everything else.

Imperfectly Aligned
Do try to avoid simulating a DDOS attack, though. XenForo automatically bans accounts/IP addresses for that.

Precisely.
I love it! Who does the author refer to, in this AU? Also, can we have the full team names and roles? (I've thought a Hunter-nin quest would be fun for some time now, and having characters pregenerated would be really helpful if I decide to do it.)
I believe that holiday is missing a t?
It does if one is Shunshin, while the other is just strength boost.
See above.
Doesn't it actually mean we can do research at our skill level, but take rather longer?

Hey guys. I started a new project to collect & analyze this thread's statistics. I even made sure to limit download at an extremely conservative rate.
To date, I figured out how many pages the program will need to download to save for analysis, and how to find and select elements.
This should be easy stuff because forum stuff are very regular.
I won't make any promise on the schedule because I got other projects that I prioritize first, such as a stargate fic that I am starting to work on, and a factorio mod I am working on.

Running sounds great to me.

Running away sounds great. No reason to intentionally cause worse international incidents. Or die. Though we would probably get a lot of XP if we fought and won...

Note that some of these (the seals at least) require a minute or two to set up, since e.g. Force Wall seals have to be very carefully aligned. So throwing them down probably won't work so well
Nah, it's missing several 's's. A very Orochimaru Chrisssmasss

Explosive tags should be fine though, right?

Velorien's indicated the max delay was 5 sec a page or so back, so not unless they're very close to us
Fake E: or unless Kagome has longer timers we didn't know about

@eaglejarl @Velorien Please tell me we have stupid boxes prepped.
