1. I would say that for Hinata we should apologize; I'm sorry I wanted to see if I could and then silently activate our Sharingon


  2. He's wrong by the way, her specialty as listed in the character sheet is time-space and dimensional-True magic
    Sharingan special ability: Maho no Mangekyo (Magical Kaleidoscope)
    (While her Sharingan is active, Time-Space and Dimensional True Magic/Magecraft/jutsu are boosted in power and efficiency Beyond Colossally-Sky-high, but the drawback is that Uzumaki and Senju heritage and grafts don't boost Izanagi and other such jutsu.)​

Not quite. Of the normal specialties of the Sharingan, what Rin's is best at IS copying, then prediction and insight, with Genjutsu casting being last.
 
@AoMythology I gotta ask. If I recall correctly we get minor traits or minor boosts to certain traits when we hit S Rank Reputation with people right? What's Haru's?
 
Quick question to those voting not to reveal the coup. Why? It's been all but stated that if we don't talk about it someone is going to leak a version that paints the Uchiha Clan look worse than they already do. Where as if we do it now. At the funeral where we'll get the support of the Hokage's two sons? It'll be better off for the Uchiha Clan in the long run.

You know a while back I asked the thread about why people are voting to reveal a coup attempt to the majority of the civilian population, thank you for finally answering.
 
A thought, for the funeral speech,
@AoMythology Would we be able to talk to the Hokage about our plan for the speech since we are going to talk to him?
Also to rest of quest would it be worth trying to get his support?
 
My problem with the speech idea is that we may be throwing Fugaku under the bus. It's easy to present a fait-accomplit if everyone responsible is dead, but Fugaku is just captured and many idiots might want a execution.

I strongly suggest waiting until Tsunade takes the hat and Fugaku 'retires' into obscurity if you want to do this (and i even more strongly suggest not doing it).

Let's be honest, all the ninja clans and jounins already know what went down and are letting sleeping dogs lie. This is just civilian bullshit and it's not worth it with Danzo disabled and the 3rd and his prejudiced council about to retire. Leave it at 'some treacherous Uchiha were thwarted in a internal counter coup' is more than enough information.

Don't give out details that the 'some' is nearly all of the older Uchiha and the 'internal counter coup' was against a suicidal 'village coup'; don't mention that Mikoto and Fugaku were on board (which is what people will think if Fugaku is still captured instead of 'retired' when this is announced), leave it to historians and spies to piece together what the fuck happened.

Inserted tally

Sorry I was late in closing the voting -- I simply forgot. So, without further ado,

The vote is closed immediately.

I doubt any more voters will appear.
Adhoc vote count started by AoMythology on Mar 22, 2019 at 5:50 AM, finished with 79 posts and 13 votes.

  • [X]Plan: Normal Magic Ninja
    - [X] To Sarutobi: "They're killers for hire," Rin says, pausing. "But we both aspire for them to be more."
    - [X] To Hinata: "Too much pride for my own good. I'm sorry."
    - [X](Proxy) Will pick Haru
    - [X]Train magecraft. If our problem is we need to focus on enhancing one of our skills rather then practice a bunch of different skills, it ought to be magecraft.
    - [X] Second most popular plan for all other decisions.
    [X] Plan Insightful Rin
    -[X](To Sandaime) A Shinobi is one that protects their home and family, no matter what they need to do.
    -[X](Funeral) You release the information about the discrimination and coup carefully in your speech
    -[X](Hinata) Apologize for the unintended insult. You wanted to gauge the difference between your ability with the Sharingan assisting and without.
    -[X](Training) Shape Manipulation
    -[X](Training) Shape Manipulation x2
    -[X](Training) Mind's Eye of the Kagura
    -[X](Clone) No
    -[X](Seals) C-Rank Earth Sealing Method
    -[X](Seals) C-Rank Wind Sealing Method
    -[X](Yukio) Is very feminine and has black hair
    -[X](Proxy) Will pick Haru
    [X](To Sandaime) Strictly speaking: Ninjas are mercenaries. We offer service for payment, end of story.
    [X](Funeral) You release the information about the discrimination and coup carefully in your speech
    [X](Yukio) Looks ordinary and has brown hair
    [X](Hinata) ... Who better than an arrogant one can teach about the pitfalls of arrogance ?
    [X](Training) Write-in
    -[X](Training) Speed
    -[X](Training) Increase Chakra control and reserves, theory and exercises
    -[X](Training) Fuijutsu theory
    [X](Clone) Yes
    [X](Seals) Write-in
    -[X](seals] high yield explosive tags (takes you 7 minutes each)
    -[X](seals] moderate barrier-in-a-scroll (takes you 5 minutes each)
    [X](Proxy) Will pick Haru
    [X] Plan Approximation
    -[X](To Sandaime) To be a Shinobi is to walk with death. Where a civilian spends their life's work on furthering a goal like happiness or their craft, a ninja dedicates their very life and life energy (chakra) towards an ideal. To hone both our body and mind to endure both war and betrayal, grief and trauma, to be ready to risk death at any step, that is the way of the Shinobi.
    --[X] If Hiruzen asks who taught us that, answer that we learned it from our father's stories. It's technically the truth, after all.
    -[X](Funeral) You release the information about the discrimination and coup carefully in your speech
    -[X](Hinata) Apologize. Arrogance is a flaw of mine I am still working on.
    -[X](Training) 2xReduced Incantations&Hand-seals, 1x Seamless jutsu Fusion
    -[X](Clone) No
    -[X](Seals) C-Rank Fire Sealing Method
    -[X](Seals) C-Rank Water Sealing Method
    -[X](Yukio) Is very feminine and has black hair
    -[X](Proxy) Tell Teyaki he is free to delegate tasks to his daughter, but officially picking both of them would probably be seen as favoritism.

Question, will plan normal magic ninja mean that we'll practice magecraft in front of the others, despite knowing that
  • Jiraiya will immediately know that it's unique, and we know he'll tell Hiruzen?
  • We'd probably get the equivalent of a Sealing Designation and basically lose any and all freedom of action for the "good of the village"?
  • Our father literally told us to keep our magecraft secret since it "only makes you a target"?
  • We're in enemy territory and someone from the countries we're traversing might find out, in which case we'll immediately be at the front of the capture list for breeding programs?
Or will we train things that help us with magecraft without revealing it, like Reduced Incantations & Hand-seals?

Because as I see it, we cannot train actual magecraft without one of the two S-rank ninja in our group noticing, and that would realistically completely change how the village leadership treats us.

Oh no. I doubt normal magic ninja won. Cuz it's not a complete plan and thusly shouldn't be counted.
 
Aren't we already a clan leader? At 8?

What would the leadership do differently?
Not clan leadership, village leadership. Magic circuits are an entire new bloodline, more powerful than even the natural energy absorption of Jūgo's clan. What do you think a village that allowed Root to happen would do with that? In the Elemental Nations, some assets are more valuable than morals.

but who the heck would even know? Also they cant easily disappear us since Root lost Danzo and nobody will be eager to do the dirty jobs.

The Hokage is already on thin ice since those in the know will know will blame him, and adding more to that might just lose him the faith they have left and be at risk of either secession or another rebellion. After all, a Clan's secret is their own. They even allowed pseudo slavery for the Hyuuga to keep them compliant and exclusive to the Village.
 
Ninja understand the need for secrecy, and generally don't get to hyped for hereditary or even advanced clan skills. The best way to keep those skills is usually to pass them down via clan. So magecraft would become a consideration, but It'd hardly be treated with more deference then the mind reading of Ino's clan. Something to cultivate and consider, but not world changing within their current understanding IMO.

Now if we created a whole new generation with Uchiha level skills they might consider it as important as sharingan. It'll still probably be overlooked in favor of sharingan though. I'd say the main advantage of magecraft is the ability to couple it with mind reading, and erase the memory of having your mind read. You can capture agents, steal their info, then release them without them knowing they were compromised.

Or just remove the memory of whatever their mission was. Or down them with disease. Those are useful too. I dunno. Magecraft is pretty flexible.

I agree, paranoia about magecraft leaking is not productive. Hell, we're already a high value target and tend to be protected by elite shinobi anyway (well, if you want to call Jiraya 'elite', which is debatable considering the way he gets conned often).

Neither magecraft, nor true magic nor sage mode should be not pursued because of village faction paranoia. Especially since we just decapitated most of it except Kabuto and Kabuto would target any Uchiha anyway.

That we're going to be traveling with Jiraya is in fact a opportunity to figure out 'that weird thing that happened when we tried to use true magic' (sage mode). It'd be disappointing if we didn't.

Also Tsunade might be interested in Gandr as proof we're doing something new (because conceptual effect of 'disease'). Could use it as a 'challenge' of 'inventing' a new 'jutsu'.

Same age as Rin I think.
I think he referred to the fact that Hinata was 3 or 4 years old when she was kidnapped, which is proof that being 8 isn't going to protect us from being targeted.

If we reveal magecraft, people will know that we have the equivalent of four bloodlines:
  • Sharingan
  • Uzumaki traits
  • Mind's Eye of the Kaguya
  • Magecraft
In other words, Orochimaru, Akatsuki, enemy villages, black ops programs like Root - everyone will try to capture us.

Can we Reinforce our body in addition to chakra enhancement? If yes, would that be additive or multiplicative?

How would that actually work? I can imagine three scenarios:
1- The Magecraft enhances the body, and then the chakra multiplies the capabilities of a better-than-physically-possible body. This would be multiplicative.
2- The magecraft is able to reinforce the chakra pathways, and maybe even the chakra itself, while enhancing the body. Like Luffy's Gear techniques, in One Piece. This would also be multiplicative.
3- they can happen simultaneously but don't really interact (or maybe the interaction part requires a lot of theory work and practice). This would be additive.

Can chakra work on tools the same way magecraft reinforcement can? We know you can channel chakra through things, but the effects are very different, and you need special, expensive chakra-conductive materials for it... unless you're a samurai. There's no way they could outfit a whole samurai army with shit that expensive, it's probably their training.

So, mixing some basic Magecraft in our arsenal would get us sharper weapons, more durable protection, and even more nutritious (and better tasting) food. And this isn't a small boost, either; we're talking better-than-physically-possible enhancements.

Now granted, Shiro is basically a reinforcement prodigy, so we can't really use him as a baseline, despite having all the best examples. But A- Rin is a genius, B- she's devoted to her craft, and C- she's seen the kind of bullshit Shiro could pull off with just that branch of magecraft.
