Why do we need any of that? just twitch, I dunno, a foot muscle in morse code.

During an important conversation I'm not sure you want to have a decent portion of your attention taken up by relaying morse code to yourself via muscle twitches.
Like, far better to just wear a Zabuza style face covering or a mask and silently mouth the other persons dialogue back very quickly to yourself, since it takes minimal effort for both Hazou and us to do it that way.
E: Or do something with our tongue. That would also probably be easy and pretty covert.
(Although, that begs the question, does the Iron Nerve record sequences of movements constructed out of previously recorded Iron Nerve movements? If I do (Twitch A, Twitch B, Twitch A) as a sequence, can I then do the whole thing as one Iron Nerve macro? )

~650Kb/s efferent bandwidth for spinal motor neurons, at an absurdly conservative estimate. Given that the literal information content of spoken human language is pretty consistently about 1 byte per second recording at least a transcript should be a total non-issue.

How much of that can be effectively executed and parsed by a 14 year old kid with a penchant for eating feet though?

We are not, no. I was speaking about in-universe constraints.
That's an omake, it doesn't count.
This was all discussed and kiboshed several thousand pages ago, actually.
@faflec , can you provide the pointer so that I don't have to remember the whole sequence of discussion?
Sure, that's fine. Please keep it reasonable, though.
Also, I'm pretty tired and intend to sleep late, and then I have some other writing I need to do in the morning, so let's close voting at 2pm NYC time.

As far as inducing vomiting goes, does Hazou have a mild, or a mild and medium consequence? Because yesterday he was on bed rest and induced vomiting does not jive well with injured ribs.
And I feel like, we can use charcoal, but if it were that easy she probably wouldn't have bothered and just left the message at "I could have but didn't"

To clarify, Hazou can memorize anything by reading it to himself out loud, right?

Ah, right, thanks for the response. I always forget which Iron Nerve tricks are kosher and which aren't.
We just need to figure out how to manually vomit so we can use that in combat.

Is this a balance decision? I am mostly asking because we can have Hazou remember anything we want, even quotes from recent updates because as the hivemind we do have an eidetic memory by virtue of archived forum posts.

Note that we only have eidetic memory for the parts of Hazou's life that made it into updates. We don't know perfectly what happens between our "windows of observation" (e. g., between the end of Keiko vs. Hazou fight and the start of the Ami chapter), and we don't even know everything that happened in these windows unless it was included into Hazou's1 inner narration (e. g., we don't know how many tables Yukizome's Experimental Cuisine has, or when exactly Ami undid her ponytail).
It's far from "real" eidetic memory.
1. PoV character's, to be more precise. We sometimes have updates told from the perspectives of other Team Uplift members, of course.

I know that but considering we wanted Hazou to give a word by word replay of the talk we did see on screen in full, it is still an apt description for that particular moment so I focused on that.
(Plus, you could make a meta-argument of why we don't know how many tables there were: because it doesn't matter. Good writing generally doesn't include useless information/descriptions because they tend to distract from the meat of the story. (Unless it is done deliberately, or to set up a Chekhov's Gun.))

Sure: it didn't matter at the moment. In that context, as part of that narrative. But what if tomorrow we'll decide to poison every Leaf ninja in Mist, and consider Yukizome's Experimental Cuisine as a place to do that in? Then the number of tables will matter (since if there's not enough, we won't be able to seat everyone), but we still won't be able to "remember" it.
That's exactly what she wants you (you personally, @Drasky) to think.

Should I be concerned about the meeting with Hinata?
Noumero

I suppose that would be telling. Needless to say, you're not part of any conspiracy you're not aware of.
(Also, the Meow rating is now the Ami rating.)
Again, if anybody wants to do it, just convince Noburi. He's the one with the skills, the opening, and he definitely needs it most. There's probably a reason she gave him the olive branch during the trash-talk.
Think he means remembering Ami's side of the conversation is the problem. Encoding her side of the convo would've been obvious and rude.

I don't think Noburi is completely up to it, it'd be like rubbing salt in his, still fresh, wound. And pessimistically, Hinata would have leverage over him.

I'm not really seeing the leverage, and his getting a chance to pick himself back up is kind of the point. Hazou doesn't have any reason to talk to her. Noburi has openings from even before the match. Help him use her olive branch to turn this around instead of trying to get somebody who has no skill and no good reason to reach out to her to attempt to overcome the immense initial wall of "the only plausible reason for this is naked political cultivation by a vendetta-pawn" while implying that Noburi is even more useless.

@MMKII do you have the original, more wordy version of your plan somewhere? I don't want to add more points to it, but rather restore all the context we've cut in the interest of preserving wordcount.
... what? The reason is to rebuild a somewhat cordial relationship after the end of the exam, where we left off at Hinata telling us she's not going to help because she wants her dad to be Hokage, and us owning her during our rampage. She's the heiress of Leaf's most powerful clan. The whole reason all the important clan children are put into teams together is to facilitate this kind of familiarity. The hell does "naked political cultivation by a vendetta-pawn" even mean?
