[X] Action Plan: Give Us TH Mechanics Now
@acidshill , maybe just a small ninjutsu that moves a pebbel? Having seals getting dragged on the ground is a begging.
edit: If this eventually leads to an Rune-dragging technique, then even if it's stupidly chakra expensive, Naruto could move the Runes himself? He has the Earth Element:
Hell, maybe the Toad Sages should try to make that jutsu now.

Underground Sealing Jutsu
-or-
Quick Underground Array Setup Initiator (QUASI)
Allows the user to shove a handful of seal elements underground, which can then be guided through the earth into to set up a sealing array.
Activating these underground seals is left as an exercise for the caster. (MARS. The answer is MARS)

I'm not sure how to interpret this.
Distinctive Kakashi traits, as best I recall:
- Values loyalty to one's immediate teammates particularly highly (not something I'd expect a Leaf intelligence briefing to emphasize)
- Has a Sharingan, via the only publicly-known successful bloodline transplant (Sand doesn't have sharingan, and the bloodline transplant was supposedly unique)
- Probably S-rank, but at the very low end of S-rank power levels (likely part of what they had in mind, but not enough to draw the comparison on its own)
- Pretty damaged, even by jōnin standards; affects a secretive and lazy attitude ('plus social skills' is evidence against this; not something I'd expect a Leaf intelligence briefing to emphasize, but maybe)
- Chidori is his primary combat technique (maybe she has a chidori-like technique? I have no idea what chidori is like in FtD)
- Dog summons ('less the Dog summons')
- Lots of elemental techniques, because of the sharingan
- Clanless, but part of the same teacher-student lineage as several kage (maybe this is what they meant?)
We really don't keep abreast of what's going on in other villages, and I think we might get blindsided some day.
Even in Mist, our former home and current closest ally, we have almost no idea what's going on. (Given how traumatized and generally not with it Utakata seemed last time he appeared in the quest, and that he got the hat almost entirely by Ami machinations, I kind of worry about a 'puppet with the strings cut' situation wherein he was heavily relying on Ami's decisionmaking and now she's vanished.)

How do you guys feel about a linked list of TH ideas for our first TH project in the next plan? Same for a time rune SOP

Nearly S-rank without any particular cheat?
- A noncombat, modified version of Earth Rend (or Spine of the Earth?) that tills fields rough enough that civilians would otherwise find it difficult/impossible to work.

I interpret that as something that makes farming impossible at a location, not as something that makes ground flat so that MARI can be cast on it to expand our road network.
Besides, there's plenty of room to add the wording that I'm attached to directly to the plan as a new bullet.

Kakashi was mostly known for speed and a large library of ninjutsu (thanks to the Sharingan). That's probably what To Fura is about.
She is robably fast, low/middle (whatever that means) S-rank and has a bunch of good ninjustu.
Maybe the rest is supposed to tell us that she is more laid back than most people involved in politics. And the reason why she became Kage is that she is more open to negotations with other countries
Actually a good point.I wonder if that means she is more willing to fight Akatsuki or protect Sand against any form of further damage?
On further thought, I mostly don't believe that that's what they meant by comparing her to Kakashi, since. I don't think Leaf's foreign intelligence is good enough for them to know something like that about her motivations/personality. So I would tend to assume they were describing about her build and/or social position instead, and she's known for speed and a large library of ninjutsu, as you said, or is clanless but part of the same teacher-student lineage as some previous kage, or both.

'short (<5 cm) range activation of seals'
Apropos of nothing, did we ever find out what the deal is with Suiton: Ami's Ultimate Buster Bomb? Did Ami commision/TH it and Noburi sink 27 XP in literally just as a prank?
Yes. Or maybe it does something poggers when we level it more, we never found out.

Yes, he did. The orders are coded, so Hazou doesn't know what they say. There are no explicit contingencies on the orders, just codephrases that would indicate to Hazou that it's time to open and decode the relevant sealed packet. Naruto has not yet sent any message to Hazou, so Hazou hasn't yet opened any of the packets.
Hazou knows that the choice of name needs to correspond to the jutsu, which is why ninja have jutsu with human-readable names at all.
The first link doesn't lead to a wormhole beacon rune idea. The second seems plausible, Hazou would be willing to put a prep day on it.
No additional training blocks are required.

Whoops sorry, here it is. My links must have got crossed.
Would Hazou need 1 or 2 prep days to figure this out?

Yes, but there's clearly apparently more to it than just that. Something that would have a clear impact on the actual strength of the ninjutsu, even.
Would you mind elaborating on what Hazō knows about this subject?
