The story is part of a larger discourse on substance abuse and the hypermasculine culture of toxicity that has gripped society. Put in that context, with regard to the nuances of social issues pertaining to "working out" and "martial arts training", there is a clear indication of the author's brilliant understanding of the underpinnings of toxic masculinity and competition. Although it is written in the form of a fun story, it makes no claim of its own humourous nature, taking itself seriously and yet playing with these very complex elements in a very elegant and enjoyable manner. The expressions used, the phrases, indicatives and their qualifiers, all merge into an amalgamation that makes itself culturally relevant to the average reader on this site/app. This reveals the quality of the writing to be more than satisfactory. The author needs to work on three things: 1. Fleshing out the world and the characters. 2. Making the narrative more coherent and cogent. 3. Exploring themselves and their subconscious rhetorics through writing more consciously and critically. Engaging with these macrostructures of social experiences would be recommended. Insightful though the author is, they seem to lack the motivation to critically analyse their own biases and identify the framework of their discourse.

Being proven right is its own reward. 😜

There are a lot of things about the System that I have yet to put on paper, besides the general idea. I need to ensure that while it remains a part of the story, it doesn't take away from the main plot, which is only halfway done. Besides, as of now, and quite a bit into the future, Sasori will be in the Village so there is no need to keep an eye on him. And what would be the point even if he wasn't?.

Deidara's best friend. 🤣

No. I don't even know what that is. When I want to come up with a name that sounds natural, I just use a randomizer.

With Ryuichi handling the Bounties, it won't matter if the other side has more numbers, because their best Shinobi will be dead.

Fair.

Does it? The only Clans we see with many members are in Konoha. We have little to no information about the clans of Suna, with the exception of 8 clans which, according to the wiki, aren't well-known outside the walls. "The few clans that exist inside of Suna are often small in number, and not well known outside the walls of the village." I don't think the total number of Shinobi would still exceed 500.

Certainly not at this point, a few months after the Third War. And keep in mind that these figures are only the available details that Ryuichi has access to. More importantly, Iwa's whole strategy is commit a war of attrition. The whole Kannabi Bridge incident was the turning point of the war, because no matter how many Shinobi were sent, Iwa sent more. Suna is also the smallest of the Villages pre-Zabuza. It is also the poorest. It has so few people and so little land, that I am not comfortable citing numbers that would be a logistical nightmare.

I suppose, yeah. But I like to think of it as patriotism. There's still a lot of politics and worldbuilding that I want to explore, and these tiny details will play a part in that undertaking. Thanks for leaving a comment!
