Naruto - Legend of the Bijuu's - Part I - OOC

Akaritori looked out towards the General as he read the letter, gently scowling beneath her wide-brimmed Kage hat. The outfit was somewhat uncomfortable and definitely more for decoration than any form of combat, but it was serving a good purpose insofar as that it largely hid her scornful gaze from everyone else until the Jinchuuriki were mentioned.

Upon hearing that Konohagakure had discovered and most likely captured the Jinchuuriki, the Tsuchikage stood up, tipping her hat backwards simultaneously to look the General in the face, and begun to speak in an obviously practiced tone - one that indicated an impending indictment for the General.

“General, did you authorise the mission to send an Iwagakuran citizen into enemy territory without my express permission? If so, do you accept full responsibility for what you have done?” The accusation was serious, and if the tone did not give Akaritori’s immense displeasure away, the fiercely glowing light of Masayoshi would certainly warn him of her upset state. She was controlled enough, for now, but depending on the General’s answer, there could be one less living being within the room fairly quickly.

The unnecessary danger and potential loss of life was careless, and while the mission itself was inherently reckless and pointless, the fact that it had been carried out without her express permission - despite the Republic obviously being well-versed in Iwagakuran law - made it all the worse. If the General spoke even so much as a single errant word, he would be accused of the highest crime: High Treason.

The punishment for High Treason was death.

As long as you brought the bootay, you're okay <3

The power level of Genin, when roleplaying, is typically higher than that of the canon because it's typically easier to feel valuable and engage in satisfying exchanges when you have /some/ power under your belt. There's usually a greater divide than that, though, because having more power makes you more able to do things with the character. There are a few who enjoy the feeling of starting quite literally from scratch, but those people tend to be far and few between.

Who exactly is the general that authorised the mission to send Iwagakuran citizens into Konoha?

'Cause... They'll not be hanging around for much longer.

The EMS doesn't really save you against somebody that very frequently employs large amounts of blinding light. c:

Does having my sword at your neck count as "a situation where death is imminent"? :D

(And Akaritori is definitely going to be executing the General that authorised it.)

I disagree with your principles thoroughly, Durn. If you give the people the ability to exempt themselves from death, there will be issues with people who refuse to die. Not only that, but there is an inherent risk/reward factor involved with practically everything in the Ninja world - for example, the (absolutely awful) mission that has sent Jinchuuriki into Konohagakure. The rewards are nothing compared to the immense risk, so it should never have been attempted - and the risk is so high because death /must/ be a factor. They are invading an enemy village, and if they're caught and executed, they should have no say in it because it is out of their control. You, as a person, have a limited amount of power in terms of your character - you cannot stop actions from occurring in character just because you don't want them to, because that infringes on other people's rights as well.

The ability to kill freely in character is a must - and those who abuse that right by, for example, randomly killing Genin, should be punished both IC and OOC. If the punishment is appropriate, the ability to kill freely is perfectly acceptable.

Character death is important. If you give people the freedom to allow and disallow death, it will have severe repercussions. It's also not thematically appropriate to be able to deny death. One should live vicariously through their character, after all. :D

Also, as for the mandatory taking hits - if I can reasonably avoid a hit in character, I will. It makes no sense for a character to allow themselves to get hit if it's in their power to avoid it. In situations where it isn't in their power, there's no issue. :D

Please, by all means, feel free to timeskip Akaritori and Touzoku to the summit. xD

Also, if you do threaten to execute one of Iwagakure's populace, there will likely be hell to pay. We will go to war over this.
