Quote:Well, going by what I was trying to say, dropping in Neshan was the "this or that" decision that retroactively cloned off a whole group of realites, which had not previously-in-god-time had a Neshan, but now had/would have a native one, grouped around the one reality where they actually put him, whereas with Hell Sakura, because versions of her already existed in that group, there isn't an echo effect adding a second counterpart like her.
The question is, did dropping N. in there move the TGNHverse from where it originally was to where he had some DCs? Not that it really matters...
Mainly, it's a load of doubletalk to explain why I'm not stealing your villianess despite having a version of your avatar.

Edit to not double-post again:
Quote:Given these totals, how big is a "major clan" versus a "minor clan" - I mean, in Sakura's familiy alone I have the Haruno supplying two jounin, one of them ANBU, another who's a reservist, three chuunin, and a genin, plus the chuunin cousin Drakensis mentioned - that's 2% of the total ninja of Konoha plus hover many family members Shima has, and probably at least one more family with members of age to be active, and a few elders; the Yamanaka are roughly similar. The Hyuuga I don't have a real tight handle on, except that there's enough of them (between both branches) to have marriages within the clan a noticable fraction of the time, probably at least fifty or so, but most reservists, and the Uchiha pre-massacre about the same.
Totals:
40-50 Jounin
120-130 Chuunin
150-160 Genin
310-330 Overall, with about twice that many reservists, about 90% of them genin-level (there's a tax break for keeping in practice after academy graduation)
The Haruno are one of the more humanist clans in terms of 'what is shinobi' - they'd pretty much have to be, or someone would have forcefully set Sakura straight before she went through the academy making the family look weak. If it turns out that they're a relatively major clan, they may be one of the swing votes on the Council, shifting between the Clan Head traditionalist block on things regarding clan autonomy, the Leaf block where that differs from the Traditionalists, and the Humanists most of the rest of the time - with the understanding that one has to be a strong ninja as well as a person, because you've lost either way if you're dead.
Next question: kakashi and Gai and probably the new guy who's with Naruto, Sakura, and Sai are "Elite Jounin" - Shizune and Kabuto are likely at this level as well, though I don't think Shizune has an official rank and of course Kabuto is hiding his ability. I'm guessing that they're probably it in terms of Elites from your numbers, or at most a handful more, does that sound about right?That which does not kill us... has made its last mistake.
