I could see bribing someone to squeal on another. Or deceiving them to the point they confide.
It would be cool to have an rp place where disreputable people gather and trade info. A seedy ramen shop? The gaming room in the gardens? The whole gossip route to learning about a host has been omitted.
Kidnap someone and torture them to death. Or right in front of the gates of the village. Make a demand or just do it for kicks to provoke rage. Find someone who is know to traffic in bijuu and squeeze them for info. Trade someone important for a chance to face the host.
And who can sense bijuu most of the time? That demon child Nayeli...
oh no...I forgot...it was god mod for a demon to speak to another demon or even be able to sense they are near. or was that character control to say she could not?
Well her mother sure can. And talk about a weak opponent to have to face. Oh yes she has some tricks up her sleeve, but I seriously can't believe no one has come after me in order to obtain legit info on hosts.
There basically is not one she has not helped to seal or seen in battle or felt their chakra.
No, i don't want to be targeted for the purpose of Bijuu hunting, but yes...it is just that easy.
now...what jutsu are legit to use for bijuu hunting? and under what circumstances. I know several require a bit of information before they even become useful for such a specific identification.
A. Group vs Village
No guarantee the Jink will come out and if so, no guarantee s/he will use bijuu chakra/power.
B. Kidnapping
No guarantee the village will comply.
Plus, you would need to know who is even considered 'important'.
C. Bribing someone
No guarantee the person will tell the truth.
D. Deceiving to the point they confide
No guarantee the person even knows. Plus, that would take too long.
Yeah, there are endless options but none of them are guarantees.
You'll just end making yourself an enemy of the village to the point that they may send an assassin after you. Or worse, see this as an act of war and you unintentionally caused two villages to go at it.
It's obvious knowledge that the Kage would know who the Jink is but that person is not an easy target. You know a few high-ranking members would know but you don't know who they are. And say you do, they will most likely not go down easily/quickly unless you have a group and the person is outside the village. You could attack inside but you would attract attention.
Take Akatsuki for example.
Only person who did 'group vs village' was Pein and that was because he has the manpower to do that. In SL, there's more people who have Rinnegan or Sage Mode.
Itachi and Kisame avoided long battles.
I would like to have a NPC information broker to just give me that the identity of the Jink. Trade in an RP for information. The info broker would give you an assignment/mission in which you have to do for him, once completed, he would give you the identity of the Jink. You're welcome to bring other people to do the RP with you. At least this way actually promotes RP.
