I would change this to "Jiraiya said that Nature Chakra is dangerous for humans, but not for denizens of 7th Path. Y'all can use your non-human-standard elements just fine on the Human Path, does that mean the Human Path has Nature Chakra too? Can Humans use Nature Chakra? If they haven't tried, how would Jiraiya be so sure it was dangerous?" Or something to that effect, I think the fact that Summons can use their stuff on the Human Path is weak evidence that nature chakra occurs there too.
It's been months, those documents probably aren't legible anymore. Not to mention that ES's range is small enough, and the jutsu is slow enough, that shifting through all the wreckage that way would take years. Maybe not for just the Nara estate, but they probably don't want us up in their business anyway. Ninja be like that

Oh wow. Did'nt expect you to include in this vote but maybe the next one.
And I was thinking of using it not as an alternative to HLAM, but a supplment to it.
I was thinking that some of that there woukd be underground rubble that would block off or make some areas difficult to reach. Explosives to bust through might be unpalatable if it endangers integrity of the rubble making up the underground structures.
The intent wasn't really to try and outdo HlaM but to assist it. My reasons for proposing earthshaping were mostly to do with it's ability to infuse chakra could be taken advantage of to map out 3-d replicas to assist anyone who has HLaM.
That Hazo might be able to join seperate materials to strengthen dangerous tunnels or shafts is a bonus.

I am a bit confused on what everyone's been voting on since we are apparently going with the old plan anyway.
Also, yay puppies! EJ, did you watch the 30-sec clip of the man getting swarmed with them?
I love the implication here that, if Hazō is bringing him another world ending threat right now, Shikamaru is going to withhold tea from him.
I love how Shikamaru just skipped all this byplay by having both cups be equidistant from both of them. Too troublesome for him.
When I was a high school student, I used to take music lessons every Saturday morning. Afterwards, I would always go to this deli right next to the music store and order a "Reuben on a plain bagel," which to this day is the best sandwich I have ever tasted.
One day, one of the workers didn't ask me for my order and just said "The Usual?"
It was an interesting moment for me. On the one hand, it was both heatwarming that they remembered my exact order and also a little amusing that it had taken them over a year to get to this point. One the other, it meant that they knew me well enough that we could skip our weekly script.
I imagine Hazō feels like that, but instead of Shikamaru responding to his food habbits, he's responding to the fact that Hazō consistently brings him end-of-the-world scenarios. Very amusing to me as an outsider, probably less so to Hazō. Also, quite sad in what it implies.
I wonder if the chair comes at the cost of Shikamaru always asking "Is there an imminent end-of-the-world threat xor would you like some tea?"
I really am starting to ship Kei x Shikamaru, which is an odd thing to do becuase they're already married and also not actually together(maybe?). Gah, gives me a headache. Whatever, I look forward to Hazō babysitting their going-to-be-absolutely-adorable-and-full-of-the-best-dialogue toddler years down the line.
Hahahahahahaha
I'm torn about this. On the one hand, this is supposed to help both of them and definitely isn't for making Shikamaru uncomfortable. On the other, I suspect that this toddlerhoodexperience isn't so serious or tramatic that EJ won't write it out once Shikamaru starts being piled on by floofers.
Also, I was worried that Kei wouldn't want to be touched by puppies so this is a very good sign.
Six is....acceptable. I'm hoping that Mari is going to get/already got the full treatment of the entire swarm, however. Hazō isn't limited by chakra in that scenario.
Ohhhhhhh. These are the "calm" puppies. I take it back. Six is honestly more than I was expecting for this.
Yay!
(Also, let's keep this in mind if she ever wants to work on exposure therapy for her haptophobia.)
I love the Kai!
This is definitely a scene that Hazō needs to immortalize into a life-sized, photorealistic statue replica once his earthshaping is high enough and he has the time. See my OMAKE Planner in my signature for more details.

I'm still writing for Sunday.
@Velorien and I split the original plan due to spoon availability. And yes, I watched the clip -- it was adorable.
PSA: I'm going to run the vote tally from this update, so if you have votes from before it that you want to keep, please re-vote them.

A Hyūga with Hiding Like a Mole has definitely already done this. Its such an obvious strategy that I'd be very surprised if this hasn't already been done. In fact, I suspect that Hyūga moles have already been adapted into Leaf's underground defense system.

This will have my vote if you can find a way to specify that the peppermint tea is high-quality.
My mental model when I proposed this idea was that Hazō would have Gaku arrange for the highest possible quality peppermint tea to be sealed right after brewing. Hidan may be an S-Rank ninja, but he's still forced to move around constantly and probably hasn't been able to get tea brewed by the world's best tea maker prepared with the world's highest quality leaves. For us, however, it's a simple as asking Gaku to figure it out offscreen.
Aside from the fact that this is a really good delaying tactic, it also will raise Hidan's mood considerably more than some random tea.
Could you make the current line into something like this?
"Have Gaku arrange the sealing of the world's best peppermint tea. Add to EDC"

Going to be awake from my computer for about 5ish hours. Continue to ping me for feedback, and I'll implement them once I get back.
@eaglejarl, my action plan was first posted before your update (where you're going to begin the vote count). Should I repost the plan, or should whomever first voted for my plan after the update link to it? Not sure what the SOP is regarding situations like this...

Yes. I have it all planned out. MfD world won't suspect a thing.

Does Hazou have complete sensory awareness of the infused area? If he were looking for buried treasure and infused the area around it would he sense it? I'm pretty sure Earthshaping doesn't do that, that's like the entire purpose of the jutsu "Living Roots"
I don't know about complete sensory awareness, but he's able to see the area within his mind's eye with great detail of the terrain (grain, grooves, channels, etc), so It's a more holistic mental image than living roots.
Living Roots is better for detecting how far away a target is based on the vibrations they produce.
So the difference is ES concentrates more on getting fine detail from an area while LR is better for detecting moving, living targets.
EDIT: IIRC LR isnt great for detecting targets below a certain size.

So what I'm getting from this is that you could have offered Orochimaru a ninjutsu that allows people to scan a large area of terrain with perfect accuracy.
