ASUMA: Are you a Jashinist, Hazo?
Its not about the XP - its about using the bad jutsu at all, because using it in place of better techniques / options was an actively detrimential alternative. The XP cost wasn't big yes, although it wasn't really marginal either, a few levels of ex. Athletics are quite impactful.
The Wakahisa didn't have access to an S-rank sealmaster
@acidshill I'm tentatively okay with this edit.
Yes, because 4 tags of +4 each, where you can use any or all of the tags on any roll including a dodge, is definitely not helpful for survival.
That depends very much on what dedicating kills to Jashin requires. According to Hidan no special rituals of any kind are involved. If it doesn't even need an exclamation then we can dedicate literally every legal kill to Jashin. Silently.
Nah dude, all they need is one (1) decent AoE justu and you and all your clones are toast. You spent all your chakra on SC so you can't even Substitute.
FMPOV Hidan is not a reliable source with regards to Jashin. I'm not fully convinced Hazou and Hidan are favored by the same god even, though Hidan does seem like he has some weird Jashin-sight thing to the point he could detect Yuno's fervor through talking to Noburi alone. I think Hazou was not lying when he said he was favored over Hidan at Bakuchioka because at least in this case, Hazou's doing what Jashin/whoever is wanting him to do. Though given that Hidan thinks lives taken needs to be more personal, Hazou may earn more favor by saving lives more personally as well. (Again, not convinced Hidan is right about the need for it to be personal. He may just be bloodthirsty and projecting.)
Also like, the whole "what if you take a consequence before getting FA off" scenario is magnitudes worse if you're using SC instead and all of them have consequences (or worse, pop instantly from copying your damage.)
Oh yeahhhh good point there. It's just a bad strategy all around.
I agree with the following take by Left-Hand Mutant:
While it's important that we conceal our true progress in Primordial Sealing, the existence of the feldspar is not, in and of itself, noteworthy progress towards unlocking it. If we appear to be openly sharing this information with him, then that conveys the impression that we are honestly collaborating and not concealing other progress. Thus we get to openly use the material and, if anything, improve our OPSEC.
Personally, I don't think that asking him to send a mission to Honey should be our first resort here. I'd mention it as an option, but what I really want to ask Asuma here is that he uses his TH prowess to try and recreate the honey crystal himself. It's an effect we know Earthshaping to be capable of, and Cannai told us that anything ES can do could be done by a more focused jutsu. This would give us a renewable supply of the crystal, which is what we truly need here.
Hidan's whole argument (that seems to have convinced Yuno) is that Jashin is better than other deities because he delivers tangible results. Which means that at the very least it should be easily testable whether he is right or wrong. Like, say, for instance, by dedicating kills to Jashin during bandit extermination missions.
I'm slowly coming to terms with the fact that TH won't happen until Necromancy and A/J-Day are over. Having said that, could you add a 4x SC reading sealing notes? If you do so, I will vote for this.
Last time we just made it SOP, we didn't need to keep including it in plans, then we voted to stop once Hazou got to sealing 50. I'd rather do that
SOP: Keep reading until done with sealing notes?
I wonder if these are actually the flecks that Hazō felt that one time on the training ground
Will do, I'm at work rn (and therefore mobile). When I get home tonight I'll update the plan.
