Today, Hazou grapples with the awkwardness that is teenage relationships.

[Chapter reaction](#s "The SS Inazou is setting sail!")

Additionally, there is a brief omake by [JelloRaptor](https://forums.sufficientvelocity.com/posts/7493746/) and another installment in Radvic's [ongoing series](https://forums.sufficientvelocity.com/posts/7493831/).

Marked for Death is a story set in a re-engineering of the Naruto-verse, where thread participants vote to control the actions of a single player character - part of a ragtag group of exile ninja who helping each other survive against everything the world can throw at them.

The first chapter is [here](https://forums.sufficientvelocity.com/threads/marked-for-death-a-rational-naruto-quest.24481/).

Drop by and join us in a world where death lurks around every corner, and where anything is possible for those with the cunning and determination of a true ninja. There’s a [guide to voting](https://forums.sufficientvelocity.com/posts/6283682/) put together by forum participant Twofold.

The story updates every Thursday (u/Velorien of [Lighting Up the Dark](https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9311012/1/Lighting-Up-the-Dark)) and Sunday (u/eaglejarl of [Team Anko](https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11087425/1/Team-Anko), [2 Year Emperor](https://www.reddit.com/r/rational/comments/3xe9fn/ffrt_the_two_year_emperor_is_back_and_free/) and [Induction](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3294457/give_aways/Induction/chapter_001.html)).

> Hazou a cuteh. Nice relaxing chapter, and perhaps the team meeting means we'll soon be moving the plot forward.
> 
> Or alternatively, this quest is now a harem romcom.

>> **u/eaglejarl** [+2]  (7 hours later)
>> 
>> The players have been voting calm-and-relaxing plans recently, so the plot isn't being driven from that direction.  The team has only been in Konoha a little while and the NPCs haven't really had a chance to react to them, so it's not being driven from that direction either.
>> 
>> One of these two things will change soon, but it will probably be another couple of updates since I didn't manage to finish this plan.

> I know very little about Naruto, but did watch one of the films (at the insistence of a friend) and didn't see anything interesting there. Would you still recommend this to me, or is it more of a "If you like Naruto then you'll like this, but if not, then you won't" thing?

>> **u/oliwhail** [+7]  *Omake-Maximizing AGI* (3 hours later)
>> 
>> I'd almost say I recommend it specifically because you didn't find anything of interest in the original - a world full of people being thoroughly uncreative with amazing magic powers? Of course you didn't care for it.
>> 
>> But what if people *were* being creative? And what if the world was on hard mode to keep them from winning instantly? And what if they decided they were going to win anyway, by bringing about uplift of the entire human race, and were fighting tooth and nail to try to accomplish it?
>> 
>> **That's** Marked for Death. Obviously if you hated the whole "some humans have bullshit magic chakra powers" premise in and of itself, MfD won't appeal to you. But the characters and the world and the writing and the commenting community are amazing, so if the premise doesn't immediately drive you off I'd strongly encourage you to give it a try, at least up until the point where we met Kagome.

>>> **u/Cariyaga** [+1]  *Kyubey did nothing wrong* (23 hours later)

>>> Kagome is best waifu.

>> **u/eaglejarl** [+3]  (7 hours later)

>> I don't think there's anything from canon that you need to know.  In fact, aside from the geography and the names of a few characters there isn't a lot of canon left after we started trying to make sense of things.
