Like I said before in the other thread, nobody has had a problem with this until recently, when people are trying to hunt down a Tailed Beast in my village. Keito and even Shadow himself have entered my village without a hitch from them. But attacking and fleeing became a different story.
Now let me expand on the sentience part. The fact that they're an advanced clone jutsu means that there are some liberties one can take, as well as using Inorganic Reincarnation on them. Being a clone jutsu, they have knowledge and some of my will in them already. Having the second jutsu applied to them, means that they are a further extension of my will and can act independently.
After reading the replies in this thread, I can see what people are really the most concerned about. Whether or not they'll actually get their battle. Well so long as you don't screw up by attacking the village in general and angering the guards within them before going about with your search and hunt, then sure you will. To expand upon my opening statement though, Shadow had no problem with them at all in his time within the village. But he left via Hiraishin for some reason or another. And Keito only had a problem with them after he did a hit-and-run on the village. Heck, during that time, TWO Jinchuriki were coming straight for them. That's like, their battles for the Tailed Beasts coming right to them. But nah, both of them went off somewhere else.
To make things short, you are getting your battles, so long as you don't screw up and get the entire village's attention. Hunters are supposed to be sneaky when trying to infiltrate a village. Even Itachi and Kisame were pretty sneaky while they were in Konoha.
Though you also have to remember that by entering the village, you are accepting the things occurring within it. Please look a bit more into all the details of acceptance and voiding in RP before declaring "void" immediately. But to make people feel better, I'll tone the clones down to twelve instead of twenty-four. Though I made these while keeping in mind that more people with village-destroying powers are popping up. And even more-so with resets becoming a less-credible way of people having their character's advancements being held back behind a certain speed limit in RP. The easiest way for someone to hunt down a Tailed Beast is to completely level a village, wait a week for the beast to respawn, and then level anything else in the way. It sounds ridiculous, but it's effective and some would have their way with it if they wanted to.
