It's... not a good idea. Like Smok said, the chances of Parsee knowing (and caring) about Aya and Hatate are, at best, infinitesimal. Plus, if the story's published, it's going to do a lot more to insure a lot of people will want a crack at Kikuri than we've already done (we've already told quite a few of the movers and shakers about Kikuri, already). Publishing the paper will only rile people up, not calm the situation down.

So, no go on your idea. The one plus is that you're actually telling us what you have in mind, instead of saying "Oh, I have a plan!".

Hello Purvis · « **Reply #573 on:** March 17, 2011, 11:13:33 AM »

Sect sums it up nicely. At best it's saying "Come have a free crack at the most successful incident causer in history" and at worst saying "We're gonna keep the person who fucked up your home and killed your loved ones safe, comfortable, and unpunished."

Also, I think I'll be throwing my support behind the 'give her to Byakuren' idea.

Smok, destroyer of thoughts · « **Reply #587 on:** March 18, 2011, 06:57:46 AM »

How about asking Konngara actually what she feels... They're friends, right? An awkward, harsh relationship, yet still friendship. Parsee can have that in mind. Also we hate Kanako. Asking her is really a last among last resorts.

>"So, I got many options in mind except Satori... But what would you like, Konngara? You wanna see her in the future or somethin'?"

Hello Purvis · « **Reply #588 on:** March 18, 2011, 07:00:38 AM »

Yeah, Kanako was included for completeness' sake. Realistically we'd leave her out of things just for spite if other options presented themselves.
