Well its your choice I guess.

Does anyone want to hear my idea on how we can make it easy for people to understand what's going on in the rp?

Well to be honest, I don't feel like changing my current post, unless I have to because I don't know the true extent of the explosion that she will create in option #2. From what I've seen from C0, everything that took it head on was completely eradicated(That's me exaggerating a little but it was still close to that). Even Orochimaru's snake Manda was killed attempting to defend against the technique so I doubt that Wood release Jutsu would do anything to stop it(At least that one anyways).

They...Read it?

when i joined nation/civilization RPs we would make very long posts so in order to make it easier to follow what was going we would put a summery of the post at the bottom right below the post. the summery would be short and makes it so we wouldn't have to read all of the long posts. for example I write a long post where Maiko is searching around Konoha for Kota Uchiha and he accidentally bumps into Ria Uchiha while searching, then the post summery would look like this [post summary: Maiko is looking for Kota in Konoha and has accidentally bumped into Ria Uchiha] if we use the post summary then it will be easier for people to keep track of what people have posted without having to read through very long posts. so what do you guys think?

Why make a long post at all then if you are just going to summarize it? No one will read your entire post then.
Pointless.

you don't get what I'm saying, the post summary is so people who haven't posted in a long time can know if what has happened without having to look at tons of long posts. if the summary says that a person's character has interacted with someone else's character then they would read the entire post. as you can see, a few people have not read all of the posts and didn't know that someone was interacting with their characters. my idea makes it so you don't have to read through mountains of long post to know what's going on and whether or not the post has anything to do with your characters, basically it explains what has happened in the post and if someone's character has been interacted with.

Approximately how long has Konoha been detached from the Shinobi Republic? I'd just like to know so I can better tailor my character's history for the thread.

Instead of doing that, would it not be better if someone put who was included in the post rather than summarizing it? (Ex: Kitsu fell and died from a long fall because Toshiro pushed him so no one would stand in his way.

Those Included: Kitsu & Toshiro)

Since the Shinobi Republic was founded.

that could work, but a summary also makes it easier to know what's going on, think of it as a quick recap of what's happened so people don't have to get annoyed at having back track and look through tons of long posts.

First Hokage's Gem - A pendant worn around his neck given to him by his sensei, Tenyuu. Tenyuu found the pendant around the orphaned Enzeru's neck and held onto it, unsure of what is was, though capable of sensing the strong chakra imbued in it. When Enzeru's Mokuton powers manifested, Tenyuu eventually became aware of what the pendant meant. Knowing that this was the key to the Hokage's Hijutsu he kept it until Enzeru was mature enough to understand its value, and bestowed it upon him as he became a true Shinobi.
Wrappings of Oni- The bandages Enzeru wears are said to have come from the body of an infamous, but powerful, Shinobi of very early Konohagakure. He was so great, and murdered so many, that it was believed he wielded the power of demons within him. According to legend, after he was slain in battle, his corpse would rise each night and slay those that wandered near his grave. Of course, there were never actual sightings of this, but it was beleived that the so-called demons that empowered him would steal the souls of weak-willed Shinobi who ventured too close to his resting place. The disappearance of so many in this particular graveyard in Konoha was dealt with by a wise and powerful sage. The sage devised a set of seals and inscribed them along the inside of the wrappings, and brought them to the grave. He wrapped the body in these bandages whose seals were used to seal energy from coming in or out. The wrappings were robbed from the grave during wartime by those who heard rumors of their power, but did not realize the consequences of disrespecting evil spirits. Eventually these wrappings fell into the hands of Enzeru's sensei, Tenyuu. Tenyuu passed these onto Enzeru on his death bed. The wrappings are blessed with the strength and endurance of steel, meaning blades cannot pierce them, nor can they be torn. The seals placed on the wrappings protect from all forms of chakra, disallowing any entry to the wearer. This effectively makes the wearer immune to most Jutsu. However, the one huge flaw of the bandages is simple: the wearer cannot perform Jutsu. While being worn, the user cannot mold their chakra into a usable form. Natural energy is the only form of energy that may pass through these bandages, meaning they can be harmed by Senjutsu. The wearer may gather natural energy, but may not enter Sage Mode nor perform Senjutsu whilst wearing the bandages. They are easily removed by the wearer and seem to provide a clarity of thought while wearing.

Biography
Enzeru follows a strict personal dogma born of love for the world he lives in. He has endured many hardships, including being orphaned at the age of three. He was cared for by a lonely sage by the name of Tenyuu. Tenyuu provided all the love and care, the discipline and teachings that a mother and father should have. Enzeru grew up hostile, unruly and defiant of everything that was given to him. He was distraught by the death of his parents so much that he refuted all that Tenyuu tried to offer him. Tenyuu showed nothing but kindness and understanding despite Enzeru's temper and frustration. Eventually Enzeru came around and grew to understand that his parents had died for a reason. They were taken from him, and although he thought it unfair at the time, he soon realized that he had all he needed in Tenyuu.

He grew up quiet from then on. His temper was quelled by the warm heart of his sensei. He was taught how to provide for himself and survive alone in the world, for Tenyuu was old and was not long for the earthly plain. After being taught to provide for himself, he was taught how to defend himself from the evil of the world. He was given proper instruction in hand to hand combat, but was told never to use his strength for ill intentions.

Tenyuu gave him seven simple principles. Have no fear, appreciate what you have, act with good intention, accept what you cannot change, pay careful attention to everything, do not dwell on negative thoughts, defend your will. He was taught incredible patience by his sensei, which was necessary in order to eventually learn Senjutsu.
Enzeru practiced meditation throughout his entire life since meeting Tenyuu. This was the basis for his magnificent chakra control, which was taught to him after learning to provide for and defend himself. Once learning to mould his chakra, he was taught the ways of Water, his primary element. Tenyuu's element was Earth, which was passed onto him second. Tenyuu had no idea of Enzeru's heritage, so when his Wood Release revealed itself during deep meditation one day, Tenyuu concluded that Enzeru was a special child, one who he was meant to raise for a reason.

He spent most of his youth training in the ways of Taijutsu and Ninjutsu, and after learning of his Senju heritage he began the path of the Sage, and all of its teachings and secrets were passed onto Enzeru. He became a noble young Shinobi, skipping the academy due to his knowledgeable upbringing. He was cast into the role of a special Chuunin, his set of skills were versatile and highly regarded as one of the most unique abilities in Konohagakure.

He was quickly thrown into the ANBU Black Ops for his prowess as a Shinobi and his gifted nature. Rising through the ranks faster than most, by his twentieth birthday he became the leader. His tactical mind and calm approach made him one of the most valuable assets Konoha had. When Konoha detached itself from the peaceful Shinobi Republic and assassinated Shinobi attempting to enter their, Enzeru felt it was also time to remove himself from the mainstream Shinobi world, and defected from his position as head of the ANBU Black Ops, scratched a line through his forehead protector and left on his own path. He would not fight and pledge his name for a village that would not adhere to peaceful standards.

Enzeru currently holds big hopes for the world, and his idealistic views are enforced by his mighty will. He is in a state of mind where he is ready to take action and begin impacting the world as it is in a great way.

Appearance: http://www.deviantart.com/art/ANBU-Uchiha-181464069
Name: Zarila ((last name unknown))
Age: 26
Gender: Female
Village: Konoha
Village Rank(Genin, Chunin, Etc.): Jonin/ANBU
Ninja Rank: A rank
Release: Lightning and Fire
Tools: Shuriken, Kunai knives, Exploding Tags

Biography: Much of Zarila's life before she became an ANBU is unknown but there are rumors that she was selected for the ANBU black-ops shortly after gaining the rank of Chunin. Another, more disturbing rumor among some of the older shinobi in the village is that during the chunin exams, she came extremely close to killing her opponent and was only stopped by the combined force of three Jonin who were observing the match and even then it was still close enough that her opponent had nightmares about her for moths afterward and was never quite the same afterward.

Rumors aside, Zarila has proven herself to be a skilled and terrifying opponent to anyone that has gone against her. During one of her first missions with the ANBU black-ops she was able to single-handily kill two of her opponents while badly wounding the third, she kept him alive long enough to extract information from him before dispatching him with a Shuriken. It was after bringing the information back to the village that the ANBU realized how talented and ruthless she was. Three years ago, she was believed to be responsible for the disappearance of the Yatoma family after the youngest son Kai began to question the propaganda that Konoha was spreading about the Shinobi republic. After informing Kai what would happen if he kept asking questions she was attacked by Kai who she was able to badly injure. Kai was able to knock her out for a few minutes by surprising her and fled the village.

Zarila took it personally

After chasing him for weeks, she finally caught up with him with a squad of ANBU and proceeded to beat him and torture him until he was thought dead. At this point, she returned to Konoha and continued doing missions for the ANBU and occasionally intimidating those who ask too many questions about the state of the village.

Jutsu List:
Fire style: Fireball jutsu
Fire Style: Grand Fireball jutsu
Fire Style: Phoenix Shuriken jutsu (( Throws multiple flaming shuriken with exploding tags attached at a target.))
Fire Style: Flaming Dragon jutsu

Lightning release: Twin electrified fists ((Charges the fists with electricity and proceeds to attack the target barehanded.))
Lightning release: Lightning blade

Kekkai Genki: None

Other Info: Once she has a target in her sights, she won't stop until the target is either dead or captured. She will attempt to succeed by any means necessary. She is cold and calculating and is often without mercy towards her opponents.

A summary of each and every post is the equivalent to simplifying every one which like Giz said, makes it pointless to make a long post in the first place. It's like going on Wikipedia and reading up on Naruto: that feels like a big smack in every one's face who contributed to the 368 posts in the IC XD

a summary is just so people can know what's going on, it doesn't have any form of dialogue or description of how a character is feeling. you seem to be getting the idea that by having a summary it makes the long posts pointless, no it doesn't, it in fact makes it so people might actually read it and not miss the fact you had a character interact with their character. seriously it is done in all of the nation RPs and it works really well. again having a summary does not make it pointless to have a long post otherwise there is no emotion or creativity in roleplaying, and just because i can read about something on wikipedia doesn't mean i won't read a book or watch a movie about the same thing. i look up tons of things on wikipedia and it is the reason why i watch movies and tv shows about those things, it helps me find stuff i want to read or watch. so a summary will make more people want to join in and not quite the RP do to confusion. the summary has been done many times before and it hasn't ruined the creativity and coolness of an RP.

Chev, your character is accepted, and Ouroboros you character is really OP in my opinion. Inorganic Reanimation is a bit much, Not needing a Gem for Hokage-Shiki Jijun Jutsu - Kakuan Nitten Suishu is busted, much more. Especially for an A-Rank. Some of these justus are even First Hokage ranked skill... so please edit your character to an appropriate justu list.

I'll be home in half in hour - I will post then.

I understand your concern, and as such I've removed a few of his Jutsu including Inorganic Reanimation. I should have clarified earlier, but I never intended to have his Mokuton techniques on par with the First Hokage's usage of such, I can see how that seems over the top, but as a user of Mokuton he does possess a fair amount of Ninjutsu. As for not having a gem for the Hokage's suppression technique, I simply felt that the gem was more canon and would not fit into this RP's story. Also, does it matter if he's wearing the necklace or not when he performs the technique? The original Jutsu requires either the Jinchuuriki OR the wielder to be in possession of the gem.

I completely understood what you were saying.
When I haven't been around for a long time I will read the entire post or skim most of the post. I didn't post all the information I posted just for somoene to skip over it for a meager two sentences. If you want a summary, ask for one otherwise don't be lazy or just try to be at least a little active. If the Rp is far too active for your schedule and you continuously need everything condensed and shorten, because you can't manage even getting on every three to four days (which is about the time for a full page to fill up now) then perhaps the Rp is too fast for you.

I don't condense my post to accommodate laziness.
I also don't believe that skipping posts that don't mention your character is just as pointless, as you could miss vital, plot related information by doing that, such as killing off a Jinchuriki.

Gem you can have just make sure you have a backstory to back it up, and i don't mind if it's in necklace form.

Another thing, Hiro/Corrupt, could we continue on with the Kage summit maybe?
