I mean, it's not common IRL, why would it be common in a story?

That said, it's quite possible that Chakra priviledges a reference frame and has fast-moving force walls that hit something behave differently than stationary force walls hit by something fast. Won't know until we try

Its clearly an exploit that lets you gain computational power from the Chakra AI in a box.
It wouldn't do us good to have Hazō's father dies on the battlefield and leave his mother a widow. So he better be as powerful in canon, and sporting some game changing weaponry.

I was going through some old posts and found this:
Did Aunt Ren never make Jonin?
Okay, this is a priceless, irreplaceable opportunity. We have the chance to take on a Kage in a taijutsu match and win. We should totally ask her for a spar.

This was...what, a decade and a half ago? No way Ren didn't get to Jonin rank as clan heir, the Kurosawa would lose too much face.

Ahhh mathematically sort of? But this loses meaning in realworld speak.
*handwaving gloves are put on*
So lets suppose that the mirror inverts 2 spatial dimensions but keeps one the same. In a metaphor, imagine you are on point A of a sphere, looking at the point farthest from it on the sphere itself, B. Take A and B to be the North and South pole, if you will.
So basically we abstract "looking at a mirror" into "looking from the North pole to the South Pole, pretend theres a mirror along the equator." This suffices more or less. Eh.
A sphere mathematically speaking can be embedded into 3space as the solution set of points (x,y,z) where
x^2 +y^2 +z^2 =1
Now imagine you cut along the equator with a plane. The point in the exact center of the Earth is (0,0,0). Looking head on into the mirror is just reflecting through this point, with your head on the plane. So the "z" coordinate happens to always be fixed, since from your perspective its just always 0. (That was sort of bullshit, it has to do with lenses and how straight the mirror is and things youve probably learned in highschool physics but dont care about anymore)
Whats a way to describe that reflection? Well if you try to reflect a generic point (a,b,c) that satisfies the above, and want to keep the z coordinate fixed, then fixing that coordinate too out a second plane through the origin that intersects the first, and they intersect in a region that cuts out a straight line from your point (a,b,c) to another point on the sphere., its antipode.
So it reflecting should send (a,b,c) -> (-a,-b,-c).
But recall that youre staring at it head on and from your frame of reference the "z" coordinate is zero. So you get
(a,b,0) -> (-a,-b, 0)
Which from your perspecfive on the unit sphere just flips the handedness of the image.
Should work the same in higher dimensions. Its just the antipodal map on the N dimensional sphere combined with some domain restrictions that come from your "reference frame" in the other dimensions. (Which should be zero unless youve done something weird to your eyeballs and can see all time at once or have dead people and alternate universes superimposed on your vision or something.)
Disclaimer: Im not a physicist, but in my experience its wise to take any mention of "N dimensional/N dimensions", with N>4, with a large pile of salt. Physical intuitive meaning of "dimension" more or less starts to break down after this point as far as your brain is concerned. Maybe you can get around this with sufficient hallucinagens and a few nosebleeds(or enough coffee, a good deal of faith, a few walls worth of blackboards and a pile of different colored chalk) but --take it from me-- your brain would really rather not.

Well, what else would it be? Neutrinos? Theyd be blinded just looking near the sun, I would think. Either that or too much interference.
Its at least an interesting question from a theoretical aspect how xray vision would work, I suppose.
But its not something i think would be useful in the quest. Any ideas that requires a significant amount of post industrial physics knowledge would probably be met by the QMs witn

To Elaborate on this, its Canon (or wog canon, at least) that even with all the rinnegan bullshit, including the deva path *and* the resurrection abilities, in Pain's home territory, Jiraiya was still basically guaranteed the win if he had known about there being 6 bodies ahead of time. There's a reason it was beleivable for Itachi Motherfucking Uchiha and his S rank partner Kisame to flee despite Jiraiya having someone to protect. From the Kyubi attack to his death, Jiraiya has an uninterrupted reign as the strongest ninja in the world, and by a fairly wide margin for most of it as well.
I think we have to call it a night.
You're going to finish up @OliWhail 's draft for Sunday or what? Or today?
Or we do not have a draft, and that you're going to write all the punching now.

- Yes.
Hey, you get to write punching! That's pretty good

So, I've been unable to post for a while but something's bugging me: how the hell did our opponents manage to outplay us during the third/fourth event? We avoided disaster by a hair's breadth when all traps were spotted against the odds and then the enemy both managed to track us down inside a hidden tunnel our own teammates struggled to find. On top of that before retcon the enemy also knew enough about our tipserator to throw an explosive tag at it. Has this been cleared up in the meantime or is there a real possibility of someone in our team betraying us?
- Location
- Yes.
So I'm not sure what you mean about the traps, but the explosive tag was done as an act of opportunity. Basically the person saw that LOS was being blocked, and decided (stupidly) to throw an explosive tag and start a panic, knowing they wouldn't be caught.
