Marked for Death: A Rational Naruto Quest

I'm already voting for researching mostly defensive stuff or ways to deliver other dangerous effects. I don't know what else you want...?

Ah, yeah I'm glad to see that!

As for what else I would want/suggest:

Iron earth rune (we need some kind of anti-tunnelling to make force domes effective). This is the biggest one.

Kagome's Tears(an alternative anti-Deidara defence paridigm) is also worth getting a prep day on ASAP, before we commit research cycles to force dome.

Unsummoning Anchor is a bit of a moomshoot, but would be incredibly strategically transformitive.

I think we did consider most of those, but with travel time being what it is, it would take much too long and it seems like Naruto is going to spring his plan into action relatively soon.

I don't know how far those locations are but I presume EagleJarl would have made those suggestions while accounting for travel time.

I didn't get the impression Naruto was planning on acting soon, what makes you think that?

So it only activates when the victim deliberately puts chakra into it?
Or is it saying that it detonates when touched by a ninja or chakra beast?

I'd really rather have a bit of range on the trigger, so we can burry the rune underground and have it detonates when a target enters the zone.

The point of the new rune is proof-of-concept for us to be able to bypass a major limitation of runes: the 30 second timer needed to activate a rune. It is not intended as a useful ninja tool.

Here's an alternative for you:

Chakra-Detecting Explosive Rune
Rune

A modified explosive rune. When activated, it detects chakra sources within 1 Zone. Upon detecting a large chakra source [exact amount determined during infusion], the explosive instantly detonates.

Mmm, sorry these don't really seem like an immediate priority to me compared to the rest. I agree that "Rune of HLaM Ward" or whatever we do should be a thing we research now that we have solid aerial barriers, but I'd prefer to start with generic earth rune stuff thats easy first so that we get a better idea of whether thats doable when we toss a prep day at it.

Maybe Hyōhakken needs a reminder that Hazo cares.

Hyōhakken, Lord of Leopards, pounced on the Dragon with a roar and was batted aside. He flew sixty feet and slammed into the ground, half of his lower jaw being steadily eaten away by sparkling mirrors.

Didn't score well against the Dragons.

Cannai got one wing between his teeth and yanked, drawing a scream from the monster. A spurt of foul blood from the wound erased a Tsunade, a massive piece of Cannai's crystal armor, and part of Cannai's shoulder. Despite that, he hung on, shaking his head the other way to tear the wound wider. Cracks spread up the wing and across the body, outlining the creature more clearly for the others to attack. On the other side of the monster, Kumafuwafuwa smashed the other wing into the ground and stood on it, pinning the beast in place so that all of the Crusaders could launch accurate attacks.

Cannai did.


We should drop the Dragon scale into his territory as a reminder.

Oh you. Peace talks with Leopards will do the trick.

Namikaze Minato's Revolutionary Soon-to-be-World-Changing Uber-Sealing Style (Note to Self: Come Back and Name This Later)
  • Informational

    • A New Sealing Style Stunt

    Studying the Fourth Hokage's notes on the ninth seal in the jinchūriki seal chain has revealed that these notes in fact include a detailed manual on constructing seals using pure chakra and embedding them on the surface of one's chakra system. Apart from being completely insane, this grants Hazō access to the following stunt:

    Namikaze Minato's Revolutionary Soon-to-be-World-Changing Uber-Sealing Style (Note to Self: Come Back and Name This Later)

    XP Cost: 125 XP
    Prerequisites: Sealing 60, Technique Hacking 40, someone to teach you (or equivalent), willingness to accept that you will eventually have even your chakra eaten by Lovecraftian horrors.

    Grants the user the ability to make seals out of pure chakra, anchored to the user's chakra system.

    Note: Yes, that is the actual name as it appears in Minato's notes.

    Note the second: In the world of sealing it is considered a major no-no to rename other people's stuff.

    Pinging also @eaglejarl @Velorien
    Do we need a teacher or are the notes we have now sufficient?

    Does this appear to be "unlocking a double cost stat" like Earth Infusion did, or does Hazou think he can use his Sealing level to research these seals?

    I thought you were planning to work on that.

    He can change it to whatever he wants if he comes back to life, I think we're going to stick with Minatosealing for now.

    [X] Action Plan: Lets Go Punch Some Cats
    Word Count: 299
    Desired Update Duration: Unknown
    • Buy up to 6 FP
    • Sanity check with Kei
    • Send some orders back to Mari to have the clan begin purchasing several small buildings or plots of land around the city. Make it inconspicuous.
    • Tell Naruto we can probably defend Leaf from aerial bombardment with a new rune design and are still working on other gamechangers.
      • Ask him if Sasuke would be willing to test the limits of the Sharingan's future sight.
    • Research
    • After completing the combat seals, head to the Leopard Border to unstagnate
    • Ask Cannai to take us to one of the packs where the fighting is hottest
      • Try to make a good impression on their strongest fighters, we're lacking in the combat summon department.
        • Try to get at least one low cost contract quickly. Cannai has better things to do than ferry us places.
      • Offer anyone a Summon bond if they're interested. Regale them with tales of the Human Path.
      • Distribute earmuffs with Banshee Slayers, and chakdar seals to the pack we're running with.
        • Leopards have a Summoner so ask them to keep a nose out for any other human smells
        • Offer to teach anyone to operate seals if they're interested.
        • Prepare MARS chains for various combat situations. Being ambushed, ambushing someone, pursuit, fleeing, etc.
      • Stay with the pack full time to provide proper protection.
      • Use skywalkers and a telescope to detect roving bands of Leopards. Be prepared to fight them.

    Plan is now softlocked coming in at 299 exactly, I'll try to check back in before voting closes in 2 hours, but may not get around to it

    Uber-Sealing, or Minato sealing, for short. Then explain the full version any time anyone asks what it's short for

    Hmmm.

    Hazou's Namikaze Minato's Revolutionary Soon-to-be-World-Changing Uber-Sealing-Derived MinatoRune:

    Gouketsu Hazou is additionally recognized by all magic systems in-setting as Namikaze Minato.


    Hazou's Namikaze Minato's Revolutionary Soon-to-be-World-Changing Uber-Sealing-Derived (v2 This Time For Real) MinatoRune :

    Gouketsu Hazou is additionally recognized by all magic systems in-setting as Namikaze Minato, except for when it would be inconvenient.




    Since MinatoRunes take UBW 60, this will be a hefty XP investment, but I see no other alternatives if we want to rename the discipline folks.
