So, the mystery box option was meeting Yugao. In doing so, you've gained a social option for meeting her next week, with the possibility of getting her as a tutor. In return, you lost the opportunity to meet Jiraiya early, and therefore start working on making an impression early, and you'll have to interact with him solely through Naruto for now.

I'm super ok with this. Revenge stories are fun!

[x] Yes

[x] A Traitor's Lot

^ Pretty sure this is Kin.

Mystery box DELIVERS!

I think this is Kin, and I want to see what she's gotten up too since we handed her off to Gai.

Trying a new thing where instead of allowing interlude write-ins, I'm curating them just a bit. Narrowing down to several things I think you would be interested in seeing. I'll give a reward if you guys manage to guess who they all represent.

Man, SRoI has paid for itself several times now, and just this week.

This was precisely what I was hoping for.
The services of a chuunin/special jounin class sword user is worth way more to Tenten right now than better immediate relations with Jiraiya.
I assume since Yuugao is approaching us about the circumstances of his death, that part is not covered by our instructions to shut the fuck up.

I wonder if she's going to mention the fact that Naruto is training with Jiraiya to Neji, or if it comes under things mentioned in confidence.

1)Kin
Easy.
2)Temari OR Gaara
Temari because we introduced it to her. Gaara because we saw him through Tenten's eyes, and he was conflicted.
3)Shikamaru
Catchphrase.
4)Sarutobi
He has a lot to think over, and it fits his characterization.
5)Kabuto OR Orochimaru
Kabuto because spy and deception is pretty much what that name screams.
Orochimaru because he should currently have ganked Rasa and should be walking around in his skin.

Oh Yugao, sorry you didn't get your revenge in canon and were also a satellite female only defined by your relationship to Hayate : (

It's more that Yuugao has the necessary security clearance to be able to talk about it.

Unfortunately, if she'd gone up against Baki he'd have straight up murdered her.
Dude ain't no joke; no jounin who can tank a blade and use an A-rank sealless technique with zero windup time is.
It's like all the people who didn't get revenge on Orochimaru; at a certain level of threat, all you can hope for is to live well and remember.

VOTE
[X] Yes
[X] How Thing's Seem

REASONS
Voting to look in on Kin next turn, so I don't think we need an Interlude from her. And we just saw Temari.
I am honestly tempted to vote for the Shikamaru option, if only to laugh at him being ridden hard by his mother and jounin-sensei, but I'll be responsible
and vote for what looks like the Kabuto/Orochimaru option.

Both Kabuto and Orochimaru's idle thoughts might be neat... but I'm voting for Shikamaru, just because the dude's smart, and I want to know what he came up with for fighting someone who can glow at will.

2) Conflict Within: Neji.
Because Tenten kinda nudged his worldview a little there.
3) Reflections: Jiraiya
Water imagery for someone who spends a lot of time around baths and water. Training someone who reminds him of an old student and better times.
A tendency to melancholy and drink, if not as bad as Tsunade.
5)How Things Seem: Kabuto
Because I suspect you want to keep Roachy-san under wraps.
And he's the second best infiltrator and deceiver in the series.

Mostly I'm just picking this interlude because things usually doesn't have an apostrophe, so there's clearly more to this choice than meets the eye.
