[X] training Hazou: Greatest seal master alive

You have repeatedly said things along the lines of "Hazō is the greatest sealmaster alive" and "we are better than Oro". Out of curiosity, where are you getting this confidence from?
I'm very fuzzy on this one, but I *think* that he became aware of it from his downloaded mental image after his bloodline settled, then went back to confirm. I might be wrong.

Does this account for the 96 notes XP recently spent? I believe Hazou has spent 1924 total notes XP so far...
Oh. Oops. I wrote up a very relevant thing as an interlude then completely forgot to post it.
Notice: Seal research added to the last update. Hazou has finished the second chain seal.

I'm not sure if the snake has arrived yet and, if not, where it is on its travel to Arachnid. If anyone else knows then I'm happy to give an estimate. ( @faflec ?) I'm checking with the other QMs.

I don't think it's been changed from that yet, no. I'll fix it in a bit. Noburi's should be corrected already but perhaps double check that one too?

I wish I could help, but my map's a bit spotty on the south end of the continent.
we could just tell her not to (if we wanted to. personally i want to involve ami) and explain why? don't see why it breaches trust
edit:
for sealing research in action plans we should specify doing maximum prep days. because for some reason hazou-pilot has deviated from the SOP
we should also wait until hazou buys the kagome sealing dance stunt before doing research.

August 29th to mid-October based on the quotes faflec provided. Timeline hasn't been updated since ch. 564 (which was oct 10th at the time, now several updates ago) so I'm not sure precisely when in October. This would be between 1.5 to 2 months since sending the Snake.
Ninja can travel 160 miles for 4 days a week. Assuming 1600 mile journey for Snake to Arachnid that's a 10 week journey for a ninja. So what speed to ninja snakes travel? 1/2 human, 1/4 human?
Just pulling numbers out of my ass, I'd say 1/2 human and peg the travel time as 20 weeks.

i think ami considers us friends. so doing that counterfactual requirement for informing her of rift might affect that.
on the other hand, she will notice that a counterfactual requirement is still more friendly/trusting then not telling her at all.
edit: and she did talk about killing the goketsu. so makes it more reasonable sounding

Since we're looking at a month timeskip at least, and possibly 6 months, for your plan, I'm gonna unvote and vote for an interlude. I don't feel comfortable skipping for that long atm.
ino also said she'd look into telescope. could see if she finished that in case aburame haven't.

That's fine. If it were that long I don't actually think it would happen at all
since this could take a while normally. should research ways to speed it up. maybe use skywalkers/skygliders/dog sled/poll ideas from goketsu to speed up.
edit: oops voting ends tomorrow, nvm. time flies.

There isn't strong evidence at all. I just enjoy hyping Hazō up. There is some weak evidence from when you wrote the informational post on seal research. You put Jiraiya level sealing at 70+ so that lets me be confident sealing was one of his 80's on his pyramid. We know that Oro wasn't quite as good as him. Plus Oro isn't specialized in pure sealing instead specializing in bio-sealing. That means his total research XP cost is 4x compared to the 2x seal masters pay. So I feel pretty confident capping him at somewhere between 75-79. And that puts Hazō in spitting distances of him which makes me comfortable to hype my boy up
Edit: but when you add in the fact that Oro has a huge amount of veteranancy on Hazō and doesn't have to take time off to heal plus he can actually pass his calligraphy check he's obviously a much better effective seal master than Hazō. But limiting myself to strictly the facts is boring when I am just casually posting in the thread

Thoughts:
- I very much want to sanity-check/optimize the Kei conversation with Mari first. She definitely has her own insights into the topic, in addition to Kei. I would have put them in the same room if it weren't for their rift.
- I would highly recommend asking Kei what reasoning she has for thinking Ami won't compete with us (as in her note), as a first-topic discussion, before anything else. If nothing else, this lets Kei present her reasoning and lets us IC change as appropriate.
- Instead of saying Kei unilaterally informing Ami (which is not what she's doing, this is her saying she is sanity-checking the idea with us) would be a breach of trust, maybe just say "Please don't do it"? Or (if you're adding my previous bullet point) "I'm not fully convinced; please don't do it"?
- There was a comment in the thread by @FaintlySorcerous that said (paraphrased): "Ami has to make these promises to you, since we know she wouldn't break a promise to Kei". I would really like this addition, possibly even moreso that the current precommitment-focused one. Like just ask her to make Ami promise (to Kei) to not take advantage of this or whatever.
- In case the Snake arrival takes a long long time, I would have some other Sealing project to complete beyond just the next Minato chain.

You're assuming that none of the Dragons have a 'exactly as far away as it appears' eldritch trick, where if you look at them through a telescope or something they're automatically close enough to touch you.
This is a good idea.
I suspect that Kei would not like for Mari to optimize any of Hazō's conversations with her, but mere sanity checking seems like a good idea. I agree with all of faflec's other suggestions and implementing them would probably be sufficient for me to vote for the plan.

While I agree that Kei wouldn't like it, Mari has her own plans regarding resurrection.
[X] ES Fun
Have fun with ES.
Have fun with ES.
- Use ES 40 to narrow down materials that feel good for ES 50. Rent rare rocks from Hokage and summon clans.
- Try using ES to make a hollow boulder, slowly roll it from the inside.
- Privately show gently redacted ES 40 abilities to Hokage. What heist missions does this open up? Much stronger ES in 6 months. Collaborate on plan to renovate cheap properties on expensive land, hardline Merchant Council to renovate entire city. Bring in ISC + allies for renovation.
- Lose track of some chakra koi during move. Create secret pond with ES.
- Clear everything with family.

This can probably be removed as Vel made it clear that Kei was sanity checking with us.
