The fortress? I presume this was part of the previous multi-page discussion I missed out on.
Okay I’m back. Ahem
Naruto stumbled in there. Alone. You think that Azumi and reaver together couldn’t make it through without dying or being significantly hampered?
Likes said, they spend a few months analyzing possible defenses, routes, and going to contacts for as much information as possible. They aren’t just going to ‘stumble’ into it. They have a mission and goal in mind
Naruto has never stumbled into there.
The village was never even shown in the anime apart from a flashback with Jiraiya.
What happened was Shizuka and her assistant were already out of the village and happened to spot Naruto, they proceeded to ask him about Jiraiya because of the whole
Your disciple should marry mine thing between Jiraiya and Nadeshiko's former leader.
====================
And again no they wouldn't make it. The fortress is Nadeshiko village in canon, they can discover that, it's no big secret, Sagiso would've told Azumi about it's location.
What they
can't stumble upon is the hidden enclave, since they have no reason to do so, as far as they, and anyone else should be concerned the Fortress
is Nadeshiko, and I'd like to keep it that way.
There
is no information to be gathered about it and there
is no analyzing to be done unless Reaver's gonna spend a couple weeks mapping out miles and miles of underground tunnels for shits and giggles.
====================
This part is not Canon and is Purely an AU change I'm making since I'm compromising.
The village has a home, and they want to keep it hidden, hence they'd created the fortress to act as an Outpost, through this fortress they can deal with the outside world while keeping their real home a secret.
My point of contention is that Azumi and Reaver aren't going to stumble their way into the greatest secret in the entire village, and they
wouldn't analyze any defensive measures because
no on except Nadeshiko Shinobi knows that the fortress is just a smokescreen.
They'll make contact with Nadeshiko, the Fortress, find out Baiyan's general location and then leave. They accomplish their mission, and I get to keep outsiders out of my hidden village. Why you insist on them barging their way through a secluded death trap I created to prevent just that- people barging into it- is beyond me.
