Twisted Pinwheel

[X] You follow the chakra in.

 

Whenever anyone talks about a civilian council I imagine just how many genjutsus they must be hit with by all the spies and agents wandering the village. The sheer amount of resources it would take to protect civilians from gratuitous brain rape from enemy influences boggles the mind. And then you have to factor in gratuitous brain rape from friendly forces. Because, for ninjas, a vote isn't a noble democratic ideal, it's a clarion call to cheat like the cheaty, cheating cheaters that they are.

Honestly, my head-canon is that while a civilian council exists, it exists purely at the sufferance of the Hokage.

It just makes sense to me because running a village, even a military one, seems like it would be beyond one man. So many things that need attention but shouldn't be worth bothering the village dictator.

 

Not just retired ninjas, but Sarutobi's former teammates (and former rival).
People who were or are near his level.

 

Yeah, same. I imagine that there are quite a few committees, councils, tribunals and departments that are civilian or mixed civilian/military. The Leaf Village is not small. And it would be a security nightmare.

Just the sewerage system. It's a shitty job, pun intended, that no one wants to do. But it is critical infrastructure, necessary for the smooth running of the village. Half a dozen genjutsu'd workers and a box of explosive notes is more than enough to see Konohagakure up shit creek, literally. I really have no idea how they deal with that sort of thing.

 

One story I read had a council be split between military members (both clan and not), and civilians. Eventually the civilians attempted to influence military matters and were just smacked down.


Anyways, does anyone have any extra concerns that this demon arm, when deciding to open its eye, opened a sharingan? Or is it just a matter of copying our eyes and since we pretty much always have our sharingan on, it just copied it without knowing what the hell it was doing?

 

Noncombatant genins, maybe.
Perhaps those who fail at the exams to get a genin team flush into a genin corps which has non-combat duties for at least some of it's numbers.

So their civil service workers can be ninjas of at least some ability to learn to resist genjutsu.

 

Danzo is so gonna be after our arm when or if we return

 

And our arm is probobly going to eat him if he tries to do anything to it.

 

But, but our-stolen-arm-of-dubious-provenance X Danzos-crime-against-nature-and-chakra OTP!

One was stolen from the corpse of a hero and dominated by the eyes of a remorseless young girl, one was created with the flesh of a hero and the eyes of villains by a remorseless old man. Together they fight crime find love!

 

[X] You bind it tightly shut.

 

i would rather have Danzo adopt us and make Mio his heir, then his waifu.

Edited.

 

*Mio wig subtly shifts its weight and adjusts itself on Danzo's head.*

 

Who knew Danzo was secretly bald?

 

Honestly, Danzo would probably be more likely to buy Sharingans off of Mio than take them. Mio would likely agree, if only to spit on the memory of the clan elders, and this way Danzo gets a self-refreshing source of Sharingan eyes that he has a legitimate answer to the question of where he got them.

 

I mean, I can totally see Mio doing that. I just don't know if I want to do that because its Danzo.

This can't possibly go wrong.

 

Look at it this way, if we steal the Shouldaime, we can pump unlimited boosted izanagis and izanamis ourself.
/jk

That'd require body modification MIO is disinclined to, though.
Also, it's actually a terrible idea, because it's the Shouldaime

 

In Mio's case it isn't, because reverse summoning yourself from a personal pocket dimension that can connect to the real world and the afterlife, among other places, at the whim of its wielder? Things get weird. Mio ain't getting home by walking.

There isn't so much an overarching council on civilian matters so much as there are competing groups and interests that have little to no power of their own but do a lot of lobbying and politics. If an illuminati formed in the civilians, they'd keep their mouths shut hard about everything and not do much because both the ninja of the village they live in and the daimyo and actual nobility of the country... take a dim view on the peasantry and merchant class attempting to form shadow cabals.

OH BOOOOOOY, HEEEERE WE GO ON AN ADVENTURE. The game is 'what will Danzo decide to do when/if you get back?'

Place your bets ladies and gentlemen. And our dear leader of the canon shadowy cabal in Konoha isn't the only interested party.

This sounds like the option for making it's strength our own...but also like it might lead to some mental contamination even with it gone.

This is probably a terrible idea but fuck it. EAT THE DEMON MIO EAT IT BECOME THE DEMON QUEEN YOU WERE MEANT TO BE

 

[x] 'Submit'? No, you. Keep cutting bits off and smacking it around until that happens.

I want it to be in a reasonably intact state so that it can be interrogated on its nature and the nature of this realm.

 

Chibi-Reaper
Writeins of any sort kosher?

I feel like eating it raw is just..undignified. A true demon king would eat it as a meat pie.
Or a sausage inna bun.

Until someone forms a more fitting write-in, sticking with this.
