[JK] Action Plan: Uplift Through The Unmatched Power Of The Proletariat Masses (121 words)
  1. Write the Manifesto Of The Uplift Ideology to recruit them to our cause
    • Print thousands of copies with Nara help
    • Hijack one of Tsunade's plague-reducing pamphlet campaigns to disseminate the core principles
  2. War of attrition
    • Make seal-making seals
    • Make them make pressure activated macerator seals
    • Try to make brainwashing seals from Snuncle's cannibalisator seal to make them fanatic followers of our cause
  3. ???
    • This will be great
    • Lots of punching so eaglejarl is happy
  4. Profit
    • There is now Uplift
    • Also everyone follows us
    • Check for genjutsu, dispel regularly and irregularly
    • Invent therapy
      • Oh Gods Will of Fire please let us invent therapy and happy pills
    • We won
    • AMITY is now COMMUNITY (Corps Organised Magnanimously, Maintaining Uplift, New Ideas, Trust, Youth)
 
I don't find the risk to be large enough to warrant not doing it. The same argument could be made for nearly any invention. "Making cars is a bad idea because civilians could run over a crowd." "Making airplanes is a bad idea because they could crash into buildings." "Making roads is a bad idea because it's a direct route for an invading army."

Yes, any given thing can be used to destructive ends, but the slight risk of that should not mean that you should halt progress.

The problem however is this is very dangerous and potentially destabilizes all military power in the world. Because beyond the potential suicide bombings that ninja will force civilians to do we will also have to deal with the fact civilian up rises will start happening. Every ninja based power structure will either use this to kill tons of people or decide they need to kill us before we can spread our invention. Maybe these things are worth doing but, I don't think they are until we are ready to go all out in reshaping the Elemental Nations by the sword. Wait until we are at least through detour one before popping this off

Except that civilians are unable to make their own seals. They would need ninja sealmasters on their side.
That's pressure trigger + explosion

Pressure trigger + ARS mechanism could be harder since ARS alone was like TN 30ish or whatever
It's closer to LBF than ARS. Seals have to be adjacent, not wireless. Also no tripwire component to it.
 
Except that civilians are unable to make their own seals. They would need ninja sealmasters on their side.
Also, we can't sell button seals outside Leaf. It's not like civvies will ever be able to buy explosives so not a huge domestic terror threat.

We might see Leaf nin threaten enemy civvies into compliance and force them to bomb their own cities. Not ideal, but also not very likely when the Leaf nin can just bomb it themselves.
 
Except that civilians are unable to make their own seals. They would need ninja sealmasters on their side.

And the Yakuza bought explosive seals from us and have missing nin working for them. We know that even the Iron Yakuza have access to a seal master since that's where we found the casino seals. Remember the liberator in Iron who had a bunch of missing nin working for him? These things would not stay in the box. Like I said if we want to make these we have to realize that things will pop off in a huge way shortly after.
 
Yeah, we should keep these genies on the bottle.
Lets wait to we get stone 3D seals these would be almost impossible to crack for any random sealmaster.
 
I agree with Oneiros on this one. We really, really shouldn't be making civilians more of a threat to ninja right now. At least, not without talking it over with other people first.
 
On Mari being scary:

Mari reaffirmed to Haru that he's family to Hazou. She's revealed that being family means that Haru gets insight and information that no one else has. That Haru is "one of them." She framed it as a duty to the clan (because Duty to the Clan is something Haru understands).

She framed it as "don't leak information that Hazou really shouldn't be giving you, but is. And isn't it great that he doesn't do filters or cliques? Certainly not like those other clans, who spit on the Clanless and maim civilians with chakra boosted shoulder checks. Hazou certainly isn't like those other clan heads. Oh? He's not embracing the new Goketsu so quickly? Remember, he's being pulled a thousand different ways right now. And it was worse during the Rock war. Hazou was more concerned about getting the new Goketsu access to Goketsu seals and jutsu. Like the Rocket Boots that saved your life when the rest of your All Haru Team died. Isn't Hazou so dutiful of a Clan Lord, striving to ensure we all survive? In fact, isn't it great that no Goketsu died in this war? Lucky that we have his seals, isn't it?"

Mari is scary.

If there's anything research-related we want to pursue while we're helping Kagome and doing our own Rift research, please tag me and I'll add it in.

[X] Action Plan: Inversion!
Word count: <300
  • Overarching principle: EJ, write what you want.
  • Rift:
    • Pursue whatever avenues Kagome and Hazo came up with to re-inflate the Rift.
    • Lightning chakra?
      • Jiraiya left us a lightning seal - get a blank/his notes through the Seventh Path.
      • Kagome and Yuno are both Lightning users - see if they have any useful jutsu, and see if there's anything in the Leaf Private Library that seems useful. (Again, Seventh Path.)
      • See if we can find Arachnids or Dogs willing to help.
    • If we have time, research…
      • Kagome's Directional Explosives to better understand them/the Rift.
      • Seal failure modes - looking for additional insight?
      • Seals that interact with 'inversions' to build veterancy?
      • Let Pilot pick which.
    • Leave if/when it seems you've gotten enough data to progress research back at Leaf.
  • Nagi Island:
    • Sanity-check with Mari.
    • Goal 1: look for pieces of Pain's ritual.
      • Search for any remnants of the 'machine'. Look at the area around where it would have been - is the stone easier/better to Earthshape?
      • Look around for any remnants of the conventional seal.
    • Goal 2: feel some feelings.
      • Jiraiya is dead, but not permanently.
      • He was a mentor and a friend.
      • Spend some time missing him, being upset, being angry, and (quietly) reaffirm your dedication to getting him back.
      • Give everyone else room to feel their feelings, too.
        • Let Kagome visit the site of Kagome's Bliss.
        • Don't pressure Yuno to participate. If she says anything about asura etc., listen and be interested, without prying.
      • Ask our family if they want to pass notes/tokens/etc. for us to leave on Nagi.
  • Offscreen:
    • Ask Mari then (w/Mari's approval) Ami if they have any idea how hard it would be to get Ren's downloaded copy of Pain's seal from her and what approaches they suggest.

Use Lightning jutsu and Lightning seals.
  • Jiraiya left us a lightning seal - get a blank/his notes through the Seventh Path.
  • Kagome and Yuno are both Lightning users - see if they have any useful jutsu, and see if there's anything in the Leaf Private Library that seems useful. (Again, Seventh Path.)
Suggestions: See if there's any Dogs or Arachnids that would be willing to help us do this, and also if any other jutsu or seals we have available could do anything (eg Elemental Mastery).
Primary goal: pay respects to Jiraiya.
I'll be honest, you should probably move the sanity-check to encompass the entire section.

This is from Minami Nikkos funeral chapter:

The celebrant carved the final stroke of "shine" into the Memorial Stone, completing Minami's full name.

"With this, let the heroic spirit of Minami Nikkō ascend and become one with the Will of Fire, to watch over the Village Hidden in the Leaves forevermore. Through her sacrifice, that eternal flame will burn more brightly in each of us until it is time for us, too, to give our lives for the sake of the village."

It's also over a year since he died.

So yeah, this is just weird.

Added.

Done.
Imo, it's weird to pay respects to a man who's still around, just stranded in another dimension, and whom we're currently planning a rescue op for.
So yeah, this is just weird.
I don't quite agree but I've reworked that section. I think that visiting Nagi Island would be a good moment, and Kagome should get a chance to see the site of Kagome's Bliss.
