Rupert (TV series)

**Rupert** is an animated television series based on the Mary Tourtel character Rupert Bear, which aired from 1991 to 1997 with 65 half-hour episodes produced.

The series was produced by Nelvana, Ellipse Programmé and TVS for the first season, with Scottish Television (now STV Central) taking over control when TVS closed. It was broadcast in syndication on YTV in Canada. In the United States, the show first aired on Nickelodeon before moving to CBS during Saturday mornings; repeats of the series came to Disney Channel on the Playhouse Disney block, Toon Disney, and on Qubo's digital service in January 2007. The show was broadcast in the UK on CITV and has recently been re-airing on the satellite and cable channels Tiny Pop and KidsCo. In Australia, the show was broadcast on the ABC public broadcasting network and on TV2 in New Zealand as part of the Jason Gunn Show.
Hyūga Hiashi

**Hyūga Hiashi** is the clan head of the Clan Hyūga and ninja from Konohagakure and is currently the main antagonist to Team Uplift.

## Relationship

* Hyūga Neji - Neji despised the main family, and by extension, probably Hiashi too.
* Hyūga Hinata - Daughter and heir presumptive.

## Plot

During the chunin exam, he tried to secure nomination for the next hokage, but Shikaku and Mari saw through his machination.

Jiraiya forced Hiashi to come as part of his entourage in the Chunin exam tournament so that Hiashi couldn't plot and scheme at home.

He survived the Battle of Nagi Island. With Jiraiya's dead, there is now a succession crisis. Hiashi was seriously injured, so he couldn't campaign for several days. However, he healed up and he campaigned with about a week to spare.

As part of his campaign, he tried to buy Tsunade's vote by offering to expand the med-nin program, speaking with certainty that a war is coming.

He may also had a role in the Uchiha's sudden turnabout in a deal the Goketsu was negotiating for their vote. Ultimately, that did not stop the Uchiha from abstaining for the hat vote, which was a loss to the Hyuga.

He successfully became the hokage by convincing the Uchiha and Tsunade to vote for him.

Pingu

**Pingu** is a British-Swiss stop-motion clay animated children's comedy television series created by Otmar Gutmann and produced from 1986 to 2000 for Swiss television by Trickfilmstudio and The Pygos Group. It centres on a family of anthropomorphic penguins who live at the South Pole. The main character is the family's son and title character, Pingu. Within the first 4 series, all the characters are performed by Italian voice actor Carlo Bonomi without a script, using a language of noises that he had already developed and used for the earlier Osvaldo Cavandoli's La Linea. In series 5 and 6, the Pingu cast was jointly voiced by David Sant and Marcello Magni.

The series originally ran for four series (each series made up of multiple seasons) from 28 May 1986 to 9 April 2000 on SF DRS. Pingue won a BAFTA award. The fifth and sixth series were produced by UK companies HIT Entertainment and Hot Animation.
Summoning (Kuchiyose)

Few ninja possessed summoning contracts. Those who do tended to be more powerful.

## Summoning Technique Rules

* The Summoning Technique demands Intelligence (x1), Resolve (x3) and Control (x2).

* A summoner may summon individual beings with whom they have a summon pact. In order to form a summon pact, the summoner must negotiate with the prospective summon. If the prospective summon is willing, they will present their conditions, which typically require the regular provision of certain goods and/or services. If the summoner agrees, a summon pact is created. The summoner may have a number of pacts equal to their Summoning Technique level. They may end old pacts in order to create new ones.

* Each summon has a level proportional to their amount of XP. A summoner may only summon beings with a level equal to or lower than their Summoning Technique level. The chakra cost for doing so is equal to the summon’s level x10.

* You may summon one summon at a time. The summon will obey reasonable orders, and remain summoned for approximately six hours. If the summon takes moderate damage or higher, it will disappear from the human world. This process is traumatic, and a summon will not be willing to respond to another use of the Summoning Technique until it has recovered. Summons do not gain XP.

* On rare occasions, a summon will be unavailable due to events in the Summon Realm. Under these circumstances, the contract stipulates that it will make a good-faith effort to find an appropriate replacement. If it is unable to do so quickly, the summoning will fail.

* If a summon has a grievance against the summoner, it may also choose to refuse the summoning. If the grievance is not addressed to its satisfaction, and it refuses three consecutive summonings, the pact with it is broken.

* When a summon is present, the summoner may request to be reverse-summoned into the Summon Realm, and to be sent back when their business there is complete. There is no limit on how long a summoner may stay in the Summon Realm, though the provision of food and shelter is not part of the summon contract, and must be negotiated separately. When the summoner is sent back, they will return to the place from which they were originally reverse-summoned.

* Summons cannot communicate with the summon realm without leaving the Human Path.

* Bad things happen to clans who tried to have more than one summoner.

Barrier Method Formation (lesser)

**Barrier Method Formation (lesser)** or simply **Lesser Barrier Formation** is a two seal elements connected by a(n invisible) tripwire. When the tripwire is
triggered, both seals immediately activate. Exploding tags are the
standard application, but the technique is not limited to them. The ‘tripwire’ is pure chakra.

## Plot

Hazo attempted to adapt the seals into a gunwand, but had trouble aligning it properly.

## Additional Rules and Clarifications

* A Lesser Barrier Formation seal can activate any other seal regardless of what kind or whom it was made by.
* LBF can have zero or one seals attached to each end. Attaching more than one seal to an end will result in Undefined Behavior which will probably be user-hostile.

Momochi Zabuza

**Momochi Zabuza** is a missing-nin hunter from Mist. He had unsuccessfully hunted Team Uplift during their missing-nin adventure. He died in the Battle of Nagi Island, his last thought was about who will take care of Yukino.

## Background

He once had an apprentice named Yuki Haku, who died trying to save him.

## Plot

Zabuza was a boogeyman for Team Uplift, although he hadn't hunted down until the Hot Spring mission, lacking a lead.

Zabuza was dispatched to Hot Spring after Team Uplift caused an international incident, but was unable to pick up a trail. He later went to the land of Snow where he met Yuki Yukino, and learned a technique from her, *Sleep Beneath the Snow Technique*.

Naruto defeated Zabuza in the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny, almost leading to his death. However, he used the faking death technique Yukino taught him, and he was able to survived until he was rescued by Yukino.

When Zabuza came back to the village before the end of the exam, he was ordered to officiate the end of the tournament, much to the surprise of Jiraiya and the leaf contingent.

Zabuza almost started World War Four by attempting to leak secrets in front of an international audience. Hhowever, he was distracted by Hazō's speech, which angered the hunter-nin enough to use KI against the boy. That gave an opening for Jiraiya to fight him in order to stop the leaking.

Kurosawa Hana

**Kurosawa Hana** is a jounin from Mist, Hazō's mother. She specialized in diplomacy and combat, but she cannot get any work as ninja because the Kurosawa clan convinced the Yagura from doing any such work.

## Plot

Before the start of the story, Hana lost her husband and father to her children in a hit on a yakuza.

Hana learned of her son's missing-nin status from a bar conversation and interrogation by Mist's T&I.

Hana finally reunited with her son briefly in Mist just before the start of the chunin exam. Afterward, she spent a lot of time beating updates out of exam proctor for her son's performance in the exam. She then attended the afterparty with her son after the first and second round of event 5 in the exam. Jiraiya offered to adopt Hana into Clan Gōketsu.

Her sister reinstated Hana as a member of the Kurosawa clan and a diplomat. Agreement between Ren and Jiraiya allowed her to become an ambassador to Leaf. She reunited with her son again at the Goketsu clan compound and had dinner with her son's new family. Hazo talked to her about his adventure across the EN in his bedroom.

Unfortunately, after talking to her son, Mari decided to talk to Hana to clear the air. Hana used it as an opportunity to unleash her anger on Mari for taking her son away.

Hana spent time with her son baking cookies.

She got ejected out of Leaf for hurting Gōketsu Mari.

Hazo made use of his mother's advice when he stopped Zabuza from starting world war 4, after which Hazo thanked his mother for.

## Relationship

* Gōketsu Hazō - Her son and the person she cared about the most in the universe.
* Gōketsu Mari - She hated the person from the bottom of her heart, for stealing away her son. Her interaction with Mari ultimately got her kicked out of Leaf.
* Kurosawa Ren - Her relationship with her sister was fairly good until Ren refused to back her up when Hana was kicked out of the Kurosawa clan.
* Gōketsu Jiraiya - Hana had a respectful relation with the hokage, at least until Jiraiya attacked her for hurting his wife.
* **Kurosawa Shinji** - Her husband who stayed with her despite pressure from the Kurosawa clan. He was killed on a routine assassination mission.

Sage of the Six Paths

The **Sage of the Six Paths** is a mythical figure both to the summon realm and the human path. He is known by many other names, such as the **Pantokrator** to the Pangolin clan, and **Ahiru Master** to the Duck clan.

To the humans, he gave chakra to the world, but Pandaa claimed that he also create humans and all the summon animals.
Storage Seal

**Storage Seals** are a kind of seal that store objects in a type of pocket dimension. Storage Seals are the most well studied in the art and science of Sealing. As a result, it is the least dangerous subject to research and there are many, numerous variants of storage seals for everything from bomb to air filtration.

## Rules

* At creation time, the mass and volume limit of a storage seal is set, typically one cubic meter with the mass limit of one hundred kilogram and can only store one object. It must be noted that without further research, the most we can store is one hundred kilograms.
* Object must be within one yard (three feet, slightly less than a meter).
* Object definition: A drawn line should be able to connect to the nearest part of an object to be sealed. "Water' should be able to completely cover the surface of an object. If, for example, the object is chained or tied to something, it cannot be stored.
* Asymmetric stresses are applied when objects are taken in and out, and they vary randomly in intensity and vector. They mostly stick to the surface object, though it can be inside as well.
* Time does not pass inside the storage seal. Objects are preserved exactly as they are at the time of storage, including temperature.
* Every combination of size/mass in a storage seal is a separate seal that needs separate research. Right now Hazou only knows the 1m^3 / 100kg variant.

## Economy

For Clan Gōketsu, storage seals are ubiquitous and almost worthless yet extremely useful. For ninja, storage seals are valuable. Civilians usually do not have access to it nor can they use it without ninja.

## Derivatives

Using the storage seal as the basis, a number of specialized seals has been developed.

* Poor Man's Yellow Flash
* Implosion Seal
* Macerator Seal
* Tunneler's Friend

Water Whip

### chakra cost

Initial cost 17 CP with no source of water, 14 CP with a source of real water. 5 CP to maintain for 10 mins.

A single column of water chakra or water wrapped in the user's chakra, attached to one hand. When actually water, the Mizuhakeru bloodline can drain through this column and the bodies of water contacting it (picture a straw lifting water out of a greater body). The column can be thickened for greater force (up to something like a straight-up ball of water/chakra, which could also be called a Water Fist or something) or lengthened for greater reach. It can wrap around things and hold its shape around them, and be contracted (and pulled) to pull the object in its grip closer to the user. It maintains its columnar shape on impact, putting the full force of the water chakra or water's mass behind the blow.

Pangolin clan

The **Pangolin clan** are a summonable clan from the summon realm. The latest summoner to sign a contract is Mori Keiko, who obtained it from the Isan in Tea.

They are allied with the Toad clan and the Otter clan and their enemies, among others, are theCondor clan and the Tapir clan.

The Tapir clan "betrayed" the pangolins by not coming to the latter's aid, instead staying neutral. However, nobody knows if the Tapir clan really exists. There is however, chakra tapirs being used by the ninja of Isan, but Pandā certainly did not think of them as the Tapir clan.

The Condor clan started a war with the Pangolin, making them a long time enemy, although the reason as to why is unstated or unexplored. Pandā told Team Uplift as to how the Condor became an enemy by telling how the Condor blocked passage to the Academy, which Jiraiya said may not exists.

## Characters

* **Pandā** - A naive fifty something old pangolin who is the liaison for the pangolin military to Keiko. He's a self proclaimed anthropologist.
Nara Shikaku

* Nara Shikamaru - son.

## Plot

Jiraiya talked to Shikaku to arrange an alliance as part of setting up his clan.

He wrote the rulebook on how to use skywalker in combat.

He met and assessed Kurosawa Hazō. He also met with Mori Keiko to make her an offer to join the Nara clan either through adoption or marriage.

He met and interacted with Kagome, entertaining Kagome's crazy beliefs.

Shikaku and his clan conducted opinion poll on Jiraiya as the hokage.
Shikaku died in the Battle of Nagi Island while coordinating his teammate.

Science

## Aerodynamic

Experimentation with paper planes is a quick way to learn aerodynamic.

## Optics

Once a telescope is bought, Hazou could investigate how they work.

## Light

A simple experiment Hazou could do is to measure the speed of light.

## Motion

The iron nerve is perfect for experimentation, since the same move will drop items the same way each time.

Dropping objects of different mass at the same time will let him discover that objects fall at the same acceleration regardless of mass.

He could also try throwing objects.

However, air resistance will force objects to fall at different speed. Hazo could experiment with this by modifying the surface area of an object.

With an implosion seal and an airtight container, he could experiment with dropping objects in vacuum.

## Air

Use Usamatsu’s Glorious Life-Saving Purifier to study the properties of the modified air. Some topics we could study are pressure change after use, effects of long term breathing (can be used to further munchkin out of game), flammability and other properties. It could then be tweaked and reexamined. Hopefully this would eventually give us insight as to what we're tweaking.

Instruments required would be airtight glass jars, and a way to induce a flame.

If we could find some way to discover electrolysis We'd have a method to isolate Hydrogen and Oxygen which could be used to tweak the life-saving purifier and other things.
Macerator Seal

A Storage Seal with the stress limiters disabled. Takes the object stored and releases the object's pulped remains. Macerator v1 seal can generate forces up to 30 MPa, particle sizes of whatever you want down to 100 micrometers (sawdust), and velocities of up to 10m/s (~22mph).

See Jello\_Raptor's original post for examples of what various sizes, velocities, etc would mean in practice.

Macerator v2 allows exertion of force up to 50 MPa, can generate particles as small as 50 micrometers, and can eject them at a speed of up to 20m/s (~45 mph).

## Applications and Plot

Hazo figured out how to make a firebomb right before they go to Leaf.

## Use Cases

* Fuel Air Explosive (Payload: Wood, Coal, Other Flammables)
* Mist (Payload: Water)
* Pepper Spray (Payload: Strong Chillis, Pepper, Other Irritants)
* Poison Mist (Payload: Water + Poison)
* Flashbang (Payload: White Hot Iron, White Hot Magnesium)
* Confetti (Payload: Colored Paper)
* Mashed Potato (Payload: Steamed Potato + Butter + Spices)
* Scent Bomb (Payload: Scented Oils)
* Shrapnel Bomb (Payload: Stones)
* Woodchips (Payload: Wood)
* Composting (Payload: Organic Refuse)
* Smoke Bomb (Payload: Talc, Ash, basically anything opaque, not-dense, and non-flammable)
* I Hate You Bomb (Payload: Glass)
* Asbestos Bomb (Payload: Molten Glass, Molten Silicates)
* I Hate You and Your Unborn Children Bomb (Payload: Radioactives)
	+ Do we even know what radioactivity is?
* Glue Bomb (Payload: Glue, Nobby's Sticky Syrup, Other Sticky Liquids)
	+ This would be super annoying to everyone involved. They probably wouldn't be all that hurt by it, but imagine being covered in superglue in the middle of combat. You basically have to rip your skin apart to move since the glue will make it stick to everything.
* Feather Bomb (Payload: Feathers)
	+ We could use this for dynamic entrances or something?
* Nut Butter (Payload: Peanuts, Almonds, etc..)

Asahi Teuchi

**Asahi Teuchi** is the Mist Oyabun of the Yakuza organization located in Mist. He met with Team Uplift several times exchanging information and challenging them.

## Plot

Hazo initiated the meeting by cheating in a Yakuza gambling house and picked up by one of Oyabun's lieutenant. After Hazo elected not to join Team Gai's scheme, they finally did a meeting with the Oyabun.
Missing-nin

**Missing-nin** is a ninja who had deserted or betrayed their hidden village. Reason for desertion varies, but it means being on the run for an indefinite future.

## Known Missing-nin

**Jiraiya's agent**

* Joutarou
* Yami

**Targets**

* Arikada

## Former Missing-nin

**Team Uplift:**

* Nara Keiko
* Gōketsu Hazō
* Gōketsu Noburi
* Gōketsu Akane
* Gōketsu Kagome
* Gōketsu Mari
Akatsuki

**Akatsuki** is an organization, a terrorist organization or an organization dedicated to world peace.

## Members

* **Uchiha Itachi** - Massacred the ninja members of the Uchiha clan before he left Konoha as well forced the Crow clan to become its summon. He captured Uzumaki Naruto during the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny.
* **Pain** - Leader of the organization.
Banshee Slayer

The **Banshee Slayer** is a sound-nullifying seal. Its duration is roughly ten minutes.

Version A: Select a volume at creation. Any noise above that volume is negated within the seal’s area of effect (3 cm radius).

Version B: As above, but negate all noise. This effectively deafens the user, with all attendant advantages and disadvantages.

## Applications and Plot

Hazō was given the seal by Jiraiya as a reward for capturing Arikada. Jiraiya explained that the seal was developed to fight a clan of sound users.

Banshee Slayer frequently showed up everytime there's the use of Earbuster Seal or even louder Banshee Fucker, mostly as a safety precaution.

Jiraiya also handed out Banshee slayer in the chunin exam tournament to ensure that people would be able to react against an unexpected hostile sound attack.

Long-range movement

* Choose a level of chakra-boosting based on availability of bodies of water for Noburi to refill the team's chakra.
	* Move while chakra-boosted according to chosen boosting level.
	* Regularly use Noburi's abilities to rebalance chakra pools of team members.
	* When possible, stop at bodies of water to allow Noburi refill chakra reserves.
2. Conceal their tracks:
	* Do short detours through bodies of water to thwart ninjas attempting to follow team's trails.
	* Use rabbit-like trail-scrambling tricks (loops, backtracking+jumping to the side, like on figure 2, etc.).
		+ Instead of backtracking personally, use clones to lay false trail (preferably ending in a body of water/on stone outcrop/on other place where trail termination is not immediately obvious) and dispel.
	* Use PMYF to break trail:
		1. Try to schedule breaks for when the team is about to cross a largish body of water to confuse trackers on why they lost the trail.
		2. Team member throws PMYF and substitutes.
		3. One of remaining team members seals the substitution target into PMYF and reuses it.
		4. Repeat until everybody substituted.
		5. Last one to substitute uses additional tricks to conceal the fact of substitution:
		+ Use local stone/log, substitute from the place where it was so it looks like it was slightly moved.
		+ Substitute from surface of body of water, use stone collected from the bottom of the body of water as PMYF payload.
	* Use airborne poisons to deter scent trackers, if scent tracking is a possibility:
		1. Use a location shielded from the winds for track-scrambling tricks.
		2. Disperse airborne poison in the same location.
3. Utilize Henge to provide terrain-appropriate camouflage and reduce malus dice
4. If we need to cross a border, cross such that our actual target is not along the line of our apparent trajectory. This way, if we break pursuit, they won't be able to easily determine where to look for us.
Skywalker

**Skywalker** is a variant of Air Dome Seal, to facilitate aerial movement. These will be affixed to the bottom of shoes and will be activiated via chakra adhesion. The Nara are currently developing a specialized shoe for affixing skywalker seals.

Gōketsu Jiraiya praised the design as an excellent hack.

## Plot

Gōketsu Hazō came up with the idea for skywalker, which proved to be implementable, and they were able to prototype a version of this sans chakra activation by feet. The seal was ultimately developed to completion by Kagome in Snow. Hazō tried to develop the seal alongside with his teacher, but the continuous failure proved that he wasn't ready for that level of work, so he gave up his effort to develop it.

Skywalkers were first used in offensive military application during the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny, together with Implosion seals, sealed the fate of Mist jonin who were sent.

Jiraiya revealed skywalker to the world when he needed to cooperate with other villages to defeat Akatsuki in the Battle of Nagi Island, which they did but the skywalker's contribution was barely enough. While Leaf retain the monopoly on skywalker, their early lead will disappear as villages work to obtain the technology and stockpile the seals.

It is a patented seal of Clan Gōketsu as Jiraiya set it up. The 'patent' will last for two years or so. However, the tower cannot pay for all seals in cash. So it is 10% cash, and 90% for non-monetary benefits.

Given the importance and high value of its use in warfare, Skywalker, while a chunin level in term of difficulty, is assigned jonin price with a 150% premium. This incentivized unqualified and qualified sealmasters alike to rush learning the seal for its enormous price paid for each element.

The hasty effort to learn the seal resulted in a particularly nasty seal infusion failure incident that killed hundred of civilians and about thirty ninja, including a jonin.

Iron Nerve

The **Iron Nerve** is the bloodline of the Kurosawa clan, distantly related to Uchiha clan's Sharingan. It affects the user's motor nerves, allowing them to perfectly replicate any past action, and subconsciously enhances their physical skills. Offspring have an additional 1/32 chance of receiving the Sharingan.

Its application in Sealing made Iron Nerve one of the most powerful bloodline in the setting, but is currently heavily underexploited.

## History

The Kurosawa have genealogy records going back 10 generations (about 200 years). All of those generations had the Iron Nerve, and no one is sure exactly when it sprang up.

## Sealing

Iron Nerve users can perfectly replicate any past actions; this allows them to draw perfect seal blanks every time if they've done it once, greatly reducing the risk of infusing an incorrect blank. It also gives them a mental library of seals, and allows them to copy other seals by merely observing them for a few moments.

## Memory Aid

Since Iron Nerve allows for a specific type of kinesthetic, eidetic memory, it is possible to use it to replay IN user's side of an entire conversation.

This technique, however, would require both significant effort to learn, as well as assistance in form of using one's hands to help record it all.

## Social Iron Nerve

Iron Nerve can replay any gesture or expression, as long as it was voluntarily made (puking uncontrollably won't be replayed). Thanks to this, Kurosawa are able to become terrifying diplomats and negotiators, showing exactly what they want to show.

This is however a clan secret that Hazou never got the chance to learn. At most, Hazou can improve his social acumen by training specific reactions and building his own version.

The change in expression is not perfect, the muscles responsible *snap* into place, rather than smoothly transitioning. As such, it is possible to spot minute, unnatural changes, assuming good lightning and seeing it up close.

## Dangers

Motions replayed through Iron Nerve may be modified by a small degree. Caution should be taken, however, as too much interference in them may cause seizures, coma or even death.

Tea

**Tea** is a nation south or east of Fire country, playing host to an isolationist ninja village that is actually hidden.

## Villages

* Tonaki - A village that specialized in crafting.
* Isan - A peaceful ninja village not involved in the outside world. As such, it is not part of the hidden village system. Their lives was disrupted when Team Uplift discovered their location.

## Story

Team Uplift arrived in Tea to search for a summoning scroll involving a mammal. They found Isan which guards the summoning scrolls they were looking for. Months passed before Mori Keiko was able to obtain the Pangolin clan summoning contract.

After leaving the hidden village, the team found a sketchy mission from an anonymous source, with the objective of stealing a message from someone in a Hot Spring hotel.

Someone stole the Capybara scroll from a Tea ninja clan with the intent to sell it to the Condor summoner. For one reason or another, the sale never proceeded.
Operational Security

**Operational Security**: the process of protecting individual pieces of data that could be grouped together to give the bigger picture.

	+ keep existence of Skywalking seals secret.
	+ Disguise travel movements to prevent suspicion of having a technique in the first place.

1. Disguise travel movements. Henge[20] for everyone.
	1. Masks under henge disguises.
	2. Get Kagome to show everyone how to do the multi-henge trick.
	3. Seriously, don't get spotted while socializing. We don't want our movements tracked.
2. No ascending/descending except at night.
	1. No, not even to go to the bathroom.
	2. In life/death emergencies, disguise retreat with PMYF
		1. If this is actually possible, develop PMYFv2
3. Daytime travel under henge, Sky Chameleon technique.
	1. Change your color to match the background of the sky.
4. Travel should be done several miles high in the sky, not just a couple thousand feet.
	1. Make use of Tunneler's Friend if necessary.
5. Set up camp in the sky using watchtower platforms.
	1. Stockpile food stores before long-distance travel.
	2. Store solid waste in storage scrolls.
	3. Protect platform with elemental domes in case of inclement weather.
6. Be very careful when using Misterators, or any other signature seals. If they are left behind, their presence in an area indicates we've been there.
	1. Similarly, leave MEW structures only reluctantly. Seal the stones in storage scrolls. Dump them in lakes, ponds, or rivers.
7. Don't talk about Skywalker seals. Don't hint at them, don't insinuate you have a special way to travel. Don't look at the sky and give a hidden smile. Don't talk about high-altitude weather patterns.
	1. I recognize this rule is somewhat obvious, but it probably needs to be said anyway.
Village Hidden in the Mist

**Kirigakure**, **Kiri** or **Village Hidden in the Mist** (colloquially referred to as **Mist)**, is the hidden village of Water country, where most of Team Uplift hailed from.

The current kage is Kurosawa Ren, which was previously Yagura.

## Plot

In the beginning of the story, it tried to invade Noodle but ultimately failed, especially when a large group of ninja fled to a swamp in Fire country.

After the Cold Stone Killer incident, Mist sent a diplomat to Hot Spring, Kurosawa Ren, to smooth over tension as a result of the Cold Stone Killer incident and to make a deal, increasing the number of Mist-nins in the country.

Yagura was kidnapped during the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny by Akatsuki. Leaf wiped out much of the jonins who were present during the battle.

Shikigami considered their village the second strongest, after Village Hidden in the Leaves.

The world knew that Mist had a new Mizukage when Kurosawa Ren began her commencement speech for the chunin exam.

Mist recently had earned the dubious distinction of having no Mist ninja made it to the finals in their own chunin exam, except an examinee who had gotten the slot through voluntary surrender of participants who could had been in the tournament.

Ren miraculously survived the Battle of Nagi Island, but unfortunately Mist still lost the vast majority of the ninja sent to the island. Yagura did not survive, allowing Mist to sidestep the thorny question of whether to put Yagura back on the throne.

## Locations

Swamp

Known simply as the **swamp**, it is a location within Fire known for extremely dangerous chakra monsters. Shikigami ordered his group of missing nins to hide out before Captain Momochi Zabuza and a task force of Mist and Leaf ninja wiped them out.

## Plot

The Swamp was a bad place to set up due to its attrition rate. A few ninja, including a jounin died on the way in, and people continued to die of various causes after they set up shop.

Hazo's squad did a few missions, including hunting steelbacks and other chakra beasts, such as crocodile.

Just before the wipeout, Hazou and his team faked their death with Inoue Mari, escaping the fate of their comrades.

Shikigami and other swamp-nin did a last stand against Zabuza's hunter-nin squads. They were able to bring down a significant portion of the ninja dedicated to hunting them, another set back for Mist.
Substitution (Kawarimi)

**Substitution**, sometime known as **kawarimi** is a technique that allows you to switch places with another object. It is one of the two academy techniques universally taught to ninja.

## Mechanics

When you switch, “your mass” is defined to be all the mass that will need to move in order for you to move, and you need to theoretically be able to move with it. So, if you’re chained to a wall you can’t switch. If you’re carrying a sandbag, or wearing leg irons, then the sandbag / leg irons go with you. If you’re chained to a big enough lead block you can’t switch, but if the block is small enough that you could walk while dragging it then you can switch.

Momentum is also traded when switching.

## Limits

**Space limitation**: It is not possible to move through crawl space or holes. A person must be able to walk.

**Vision**: You cannot do substitution without having a line-of-sight. It is possible to substitute with a target found via spyglass/telescope or other method of vision enhancement provided that you have the range for it.

**Mass limitation**: Target object must be within 5% of your mass. With each additional level, the difference can increase by five percent, up to a max of 99.8%. (so a 100kg person could switch with a 200g kunai) At level 20, you should have capped this out.

**Time to use**: fast enough that you can do it in the middle of combat. Mechanically, allows for rolling against Taijutsu/Weapons to evade an attack that's about to connect.

**Time between use**: There’s a cooldown after use that starts at 2s at level 1 and goes down by 0.1s per level to a minimum of 0.1s. These numbers are somewhat subjective and intended only to give a sense of things. GMs aren’t actually going to track combat at a 100ms level.
At level 8 you don’t need handseals, which means you can use it while holding a weapon etc. You should capped this out at level 19(2 - 0.1x = .1 where x is the number of levels).

**Disadvantages**: if you're in a clear area (e.g. a hill with a training circle) or your line of sight is being interfered with (e.g. smoke bombs or MEW), and you're relying on Replacement, you're stuffed.

**Advantages**: when you swap, you make a Tac Mov roll using Substitution + ½ Tac Mov as your dice. This models the idea that you can move and swap together.  (Note that getting out of the blast radius of an explosion is based on Tac Mov.)

**Acceptable targets**: It does not matter if an object is familiar or never seen before. You cannot substitute air or water or sand. But it's possible to substitute with earth and water clones.

## Applications and Plot

It can be used as a form of movement when combined with Poor Man's Yellow Flash.

Clan Kotsuzui

**Clan Kotsuzui** (骨髄一族, *Kotsuzui Ichizoku*, *English:* Marrow Clan) of Hot Spring is a player-created clan. Members possess several blood-themed abilities as a bloodline limit, known as Blood Release.

They are often hired to track down missing-nin, due to their enhanced sense of smell.

## Blood Release

Users can effectively never die from bleeding out and will heal from any nonlethal wound (bone damage excluded) in a matter of seconds to days. Skilled users can accelerate this.

They have a keen sense of smell for blood, and can identify familial relations by scent with training.

Blood Release grants access to the Blood Clone technique. Blood clones have the durability of elemental clones and the intelligence as well as mind and chakra sharing of shadow clones. They can also be infused with Water or Earth chakra to slightly improve durability or flexibility, respectively.

## Plot

One of the hotspring ninja, Kotsuzui Kenji was tracking down Team Uplift. He complained that they got away.

Kotsuzui's team entered the chunin exam, and was able to make it all the way to the tournament.

## Members

* Kotsuzui Kenji - Competitor in the chunin exam, faced Gōketsu Hazō in the first round of the tournament and lost. He was also part of the team that chased Team Uplift after the Hot Spring incident.

Earth Dome Seal

The **Earth Dome Seal** is a seal design that was granted to Kagome by Jiraiya as one of the rewards for completing the mission to capture Arikada.

Description:

* Pair of seals placed in a plane with each other.
* Forms a dome of chakra-construct granite with the two seals at opposite ends of its diameter, outside the dome. Can be any size up to 10m in diameter, or as small as 60cm (the dome is roughly 30cm thick, so this just produces a solid block of rock). Lasts roughly the same amount of time as chakra-construct MEWs.
* Removing or destroying the seals will dispel the dome.
* As with MEW, extends a short distance into the ground and is chakra-adhered to it.
* Any matter that is too dense (limbs, tree branches, large amounts of water, sufficient numbers of bugs) in the area where the dome would form prevents seal activation.
* Sufficient force to shatter granite will damage and dispel the dome.

## Applications and Plot

Air Dome Seals are probably used more for defensive applications, while Earth dome seals are more likely to be used for concealment.

Hazō used the earth dome for privacy with his reunion with his mother and then shortly after with his siblings for sharing information about the second event in the Chūnin exam.

Snow

**Snow** is the uppermost northern country with a tundra biome, with a hidden village that is actually hidden, although Zabuza and presumably other senior members of Mist do know where the country is located. It is a source of rare furs, which was then exchanged for woods, a rarity in the tundra.

## Plot

Jiraiya mentioned a fangirl from Snow gave a pair of earmuff which he used for Banshee Slayer.

Team Uplift moved there to ensure their safety and just before Zabuza got to them. It is the location where the Skywalker is finally fully developed Gōketsu Hazō had his birthday there. The team, especially with Mari's lighting jutsu, harvested ice from a nearby lake for a Pangolin trade that proven to be unnecessary.
Sarutobi Asuma

**Sarutobi Asuma** is the jonin-sensei of Team 10 and a member of Clan Sarutobi. He is currently engaged to Yūhi Kureani.

## Plot

Asuma and his students, Team 10, was escort for Team Uplift for their first visit.

His father, Sarutobi Hiruzen died in the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny, passing on the Monkey clan scroll to him.

During the preparation for the exam, his team lost to Team 9.

He survived the Battle of Nagi Island, along with his fiancee.

With the hat crisis, he became one of the leading candidate to become hokage and the Gōketsu clan worked to drive votes to him.

Vampiric Dew

**Vampiric Dew** is a bloodline of Clan Wakahisa of Mist and Clan Gōketsu of Leaf.

Holder of the bloodline are not capable of regenerating and and storing chakra within their body. Instead, they used specially prepped barrels(implied to be a special seal).

Air Dome Seal

The **Air Dome Seal** is a seal design granted to Kagome by Jiraiya as one of the rewards for successfully completing the Arikada mission. It functions like the Earth Dome Seal, with the following caveats:

* The dome is made of solidified air, allowing sight between the inside and outside of the dome.
* The air is fixed in place relative to the surface of the earth, rather than digging into the earth.
* The tags demarcate the inner diameter of the dome rather than the outer, resulting in a slightly larger minimum diameter.

A variant, Skywalker allowed air dome seals to be activated by chakra adhesion, functionally giving ninja 3D flight.

## Applications and Plot

Intended to be used for defensive applications, but mostly used as part of a shelter(especially during rain) and to muffle sound.

The seal was used as a prototype for Skywalker, which was necessary since air dome was extremely inconvenient to use without a mechanism for activating it using feet instead of hands. This is known as the skywaddler.

The air dome saved Hazo and Noburi life in an ambush by a jonin ninja.

During the chunin exam, a ninja ran straight into an air dome, knocking her out.

Action Plan SOP

1. Before doing anything, we should ask ourselves: how does this action(or inaction) lead to us achieving our goals (conquering the world). If there is no clear path to our global goals (conquering the world) that involves this action as a step, we shouldn't do this action.
2. We should clearly understand what exactly we intend to gain by doing an action (how much closer to conquering the world will we be if we succeed?).
3. We should clearly see the risks and possible drawbacks, including chance of casualties, wounds, healing time in case somebody is wounded, loss of might if a teammate is killed, setbacks in our plans for world domination, etc.
4. We should carefully compare risks vs. rewards for an action.
5. We should repeat steps 1-4 for all available actions and choose an action that has the best risk/reward ratio.
6. Repeat the process as necessary as new information come in.
Nara Shikamaru

**Nara Shikamaru** is a ninja from Konohagakure, and husband to Nara Keiko.

## Relationship

* Nara Yoshino - Mother, common born civilian and daughter of a paper workshop owner.

* Nara Keiko - Wife and a person Shikamaru felt comfortable with.

## Plot

Team Uplift first met Shikamaru when they arrived in Leaf shortly after capturing Arikada.

Shiori organized a date that his mother approved, and so Keiko and Shikamaru went out on a date. They notably purchased a board game for Shiori which was mistaken as a variant of *Strategic Domination*.

Shikamaru angered Keiko when he announced his engagement to Keiko during their tournament match as opposed to asking Keiko for her permission.

For the sake of political stability and peace, Shikamaru married Keiko shortly after the Battle of Nagi Island.

Arikada Mission Arc Failure Analysis

The following is a failure analysis, intended to help players and improve characters' survival in-game.

Unlike the Hot Spring mission, this mission was a total success, with Jiraiya offering rewards.

Nonetheless, it was not a perfect mission by any means, and there are meaningful lessons that could be gained from this.

## What Happened?

* Mission acceptance - We were forced by Jiraiya to accept this mission because we killed some of his operatives in the Hot Spring mission.
* Infiltration & Scouting - Our infiltration of the town were of limited success. Our cover were blown, and we were able to only secure limited cooperation. However, our scouting were mixed. We weren't able to chart out escape route because of our blown cover, but high altitude observation allowed us to spot Arikada and prepare an hastly ambush.
* Execution & Combat - Our ambush was foiled at the last minute by our poor stealth level, but we were able to crush her guards and pursue Arkiada until she surrendered to Inoue Mari's gambit.
* Exfiltration - Unfortunately, Arikada tried to ambush the team with chakra worms during our crossing to Fire, critically injuring Akane.

It must be said that Inoue Mari was the critical member to accomplishing our goal and getting out there alive despite mishaps.

Without her, we wouldn't be able to get Akane the medical care that she need and prevented Arikada from escaping.
