You mean Ino the telepathy girl? God I want her to fight Hazou. Just for the utter shock she would express and to see what the hivemind could accomplish talking to someone new.

Would she even understand us, though? I'm pretty sure Yamanaka don't speak English.

Neither does Jiraiya but he still asked how many 'p's are in 'nipple', so it'll probably be fine.

I've been assuming the same thing. If we ever meet the Rookie Nine and compete with them in some form, they will turn out to be either ridiculously more powerful than we are or at the same level.
But I wouldn't really worry about them. If you look how our last three missions have gone, they have all ended with the following ninja fights:
- Jounin + 3 chuunin
- A metric fuckton of giant rats and some mook ninjas
- Two jounin at the same time
I recommend not thinking about it too much while making training and research plans; it makes both Stealth 15 and TacMov 18 seem really depressing.

I can see that, but at the same time we're trying to break the world, and the only really worldbreaking ability we have access to is sealing (and diplomacy, but that takes a while and is risky without carrying a big stick to back it up with).
E: we can get Hazou to Stealth 12 if we're willing to take Capacity 8 instead of 9. For Noburi we could do @Twofold's 8/9 medical progression now and then come back to it later when we've got a little more XP, and spend the rest of that XP on making Noburi a little better rounded out. Keiko can probably be convinced to up stealth at this point given what just happened.

Not sure why we spending so little on stealth when we got a crossing to make. Do you want us to get killed?

We aren't going to be able to train before the crossing, dude.
- Location
- how about no
Do we have to cross immediately? Why not spend some time hunkering down somewhere out of the way to rest and recuperate?
It would give time for Noburi to recharge, Keiko to mess around with her summons and/or check on Pandaa to debrief him, Hazou and Kagome could do base defense as well as sealing theory-crafting, Akane could get started on some blueprints for a Zeppelin and/or hot air balloon prototype, and Mari can of course be on guard duty as the party member with the best awareness.

Because we're in Fire and not terribly far from a border zone that we recently set ablaze, mostly. And if we're going to run far away to get out of the area being investigated, may as well run to a safer area. I imagine Hazou suggesting the party recuperate inside of Fire will be met with one of Mari's trademark looks of pity and a hair-ruffle.
We have to risk resting that night. Then we can start running in the morning when we're all more rested.

@Kiba yeah we can afford Pandaa, summoning him for debrief and digging/scouting is in the current plan, I'll go link it in a second
E: Here it is. Also implemented part of @Jello_Raptor's camping suggestions.

Only for that particular situation, not for when we make camp?

If we make camp in that situation, yes, which is why it's a sub point of making camp. If we're in a tree, for ex, he is less helpful.
- Location
- Yes.
I am heavily against any plan that requires us to stay in Fire for any extended period of time. It will not take much time for the fire to be put out and thus for our decoy bodies to be discovered, since the Hot Springs ninja know where 'we' are. The Leaf-nin don't have to clear out the entire forest, either: they merely have to cover the area where we are.
I highly recommend that we move it through to Iron, find a cave/tree, and then drop dead. We can summon Pandaa to watch the camp.

I agree in general, but Iron is 100+ miles out still and we have an unconscious apprentice to carry along. We need to rest in Fire for as little time as possible, and then get going.
- Location
- Yes.
I'm pretty sure everyone includes Akane. Though I could be wrong.
- Location
- how about no
So, staying is a bad idea since we are currently in Fire Country, home of the bullshit sensors, we are far too tired to function properly, and we don't know exactly where we should go next.
This situation gives me a sense of deja vu from when we were deciding whether or not we wanted to leave Hidden Swamp, so why don't we do the same course of action here?
We should poll our teammates IC so that we can get their opinions on where we should go, when we should leave, etc. Noburi has his insights into how far our wounded teammates can be transported without harming them even further (I'd say that we can try anything up until the point of permanent injury). Keiko can calculate the maximum radius we can travel based of off those numbers with further radii based on how long we want to travel, how many breaks we want to take, how fast we want to move, etc. Kagome and Mari will know various locations within those circles we could travel to as well as what we might encounter on any proposed trips going there. Akane is unconscious due to her own brave stupidity, so, unfortunately for her, she doesn't get to vote this round.
All Hazou has to do is propose various locations we, as players, would be content with going to.
In this situation, it really isn't the destination that is important, but the journey.
We don't have to go anywhere, but we do have to be alive to travel at all.

The way the update ends, I think it's safe to assume that Akane will be at least conscious in a min or so, so we'll get her feedback.
Problem with "talk to taemmates" plan is that it doesn't do anything. We will already get their feedback on where we should go if they think Hazou's idea is stupid, might as well pitch an idea first. The mess we got into doesn't change the fact that Iron is still the best place to go (better yet, maybe the illusion we went to Rice will hold) so we have our destination. Pretty sure teammates will pitch in the best way to make a pit stop, so there's no reason to dedicate a plan solely to it.
[X] Action Plan: Breathe, Drink, Flee
We do what we can to get back on track, and hope no one rolls 15 ones on their TM or something. Then we drop dead in Iron.

@eaglejarl, @Velorien, is there a game effect to keeping med-nin and med-know levels in sync, either as prereqs to each other or in a practical sense that you can't take advantage of higher levels of one if it's too much higher than the level of the other?
We now have an infobox for techniques. See example on how to use it.
Anyway, moving on.
if Iron is where all the missing nins go, it's also where all the missing-nin hunters go.
Even if we make it to Iron, there's no telling what kind of resources and efforts people will send to find us especially given that we violated the DMZ.
