Hina Clarification ~Please Read~

[Jimmydean]

This is a clarification question regarding this ruling. http://www.bandai.com/naruto/showthread.php?t=95110

Although you stated that can discard the counter missions. It wasn't made clear whether or not the mission's effects would still be applied. Here is an example question.

Player A plays mission .
Player B responds with targeting Player A's .
Player A then responds with targeting Player B's .

Am I correct that Player B's still successfully resolves and negate Player A's and moves it the top of Player A's deck?

In a previous ruling made here http://www.bandai.com/naruto/showthread.php?t=95013 you said that Dehydration wouldn't negate the ninja's effect. I understand the rationale behind this because Dehydration has to attach to the ninja in order to negate the effect text. In the case of Secret Book and New Orders however, this is not the case. Neither one of these missions is permanent, and shouldn't have to remain in play to apply their effects. If this were the case, and the only requirement for a mission effect to fizzle (not be applied), then why do all of the counter missions that have been printed in regards to mission negation have the words negate on them? , ,,, and are all examples to this.

I hope that I'm just over thinking this and that I am correct. Ruling Hina in any other way than what has been presented here would set a terrible precedent and make certain card text pointless. Let me know what is right.

No it would not successfully resolve. A card must successfully resolve from the chain in order to apply its effect.
