Alright I'm going to assume that Prime was busy for the 7 days of the update, so that leaves 19 training blocks each day to read notes for a total of 133 - 16 (4 prep days) = 117 blocks. Remember that each instance of notes can only take 4 blocks per day. So I'm going to say that at most, 28 blocks will be applied to each set of notes.

  • Orochimaru's Sealing notes #7: S:0, B: 37, R: 13
Orochimaru's Sealing notes #7: S: 0, B: 50, R: 0
13 blocks applied, 104 remaining
  • Orochimaru's Sealing notes #8: S:0, B: 21.5, R: 28.5
Orochimaru's Sealing notes #8: S: 0, B: 49.5, R: 0.5
28 blocks applied, 76 remaining
  • Orochimaru's TH notes #1: S: 0, B: 52, R: 148
Orochimaru's TH notes #1: S: 0, B: 164, R: 36
28 blocks applied, 48 remaining
  • Orochimaru's TH notes #2: S: 0, B: 48, R: 152
Orochimaru's TH notes #2: S: 0, B: 160, R: 40
28 blocks applied, 20 remaining
  • Orochimaru's TH notes #3: S: 0, B: 0, R: 150
Orochimaru's TH notes #3: S: 0, B: 60, R: 90
20 blocks applied, 0 remaining

EDIT: Forgot to account for the prep days we did.

Hazou SC XP: 4*1.9 = 7.6 SC XP
Kei SC XP: 4*2.1 = 8.4 SC XP
@eaglejarl @Velorien @Paperclipped
Looks like this SC XP never made it on to the character's sheets.

There were also a couple of training plans we voted in, are those going to be implemented, or should we revote them in?
[X] Hazou Training Plan: PS Step
PS 20 -> 23 (-132 XP)
Save 1 XP
[X] Training Plan Hazou: Sealing Step

Sealing 51 -> 53 (spend 208.5 Sealing XP and 1.5 regular XP)
 
[X] Action Plan: Where Chakra?
Word Count: <300
  • Investigate the cave
    • Go in as a team, and clear out any wildlife that may have taken up residence.
    • Secure the pool, close off any deeper tunnels with ES/MEW, and set up a trap perimeter outside the cave.
      • Pay attention to unexpected interactions of ES with the chakra in the rocks near the water
    • Observe and document the effects of the water on the chakra system with chakrascope/MS 8 with the aim of replicating it with a rune, lean on Noburi here. He's the medical expert.
    • Make sure he uses Vampiric Dew to examine someone's chakra system while their tenketsu are opened by the pool. Is this something he could replicate himself?
  • Chakra Budgeting
    • Explain FOOM to the team.
    • Hazou needs to keep improving his Runecrafting as fast as possible.
      • Emphasize that this is a secret. It wasn't possible for others to FOOM in Leaf since the Hokage wouldn't approve SC for them. If we're ever allowed back they are not discuss this. We will cut them in as chakra allows.
    • Given the feasibility of chrak beast hunting
      • What about on a island base? To test if the sea helps Noburi drain.
      • Could we aim for a chakra dense spot? More beasts nearby is good.
    • Can we maintain repeated drain to 2/3 reserves over the course of the day to maximize Noburi's capture of the team's natural regeneration? Is this a security risk?
    • What's the feasiblity of capturing some ninja and using them as chakra batteries?
    • Noburi, about what fraction of your reserves can you spare for FOOM in the absence of other measures? Anything helps.
  • Research

[x] Interlude: Noburi's Training With Tsunade

I am ready to punch something but I do want to give the QMs the chance to map out the cave and also catch up on questions
 
Water Rune

A rune that mimics the effect of the chakra cave on a pool of water of sufficient size, when placed at the bottom of a suitable body of water, turns that water into something that can open tenketsu and sooth chakra coils. Effects are the same as the chakra-water cave.

Chakra Soothing Rune

A rune that skips the water as a medium and opens one's tenketsu directly when touched while the rune is active.

Soothing Field Rune

A rune that emits a soothing field of chakra that opens the tenketsu and lowers jutsu costs while inside the AoE, effects do not persist outside.

On the offchance an interlude vote gets skipped over, this looks good.
 
[X] Interlude: Noburi's Giant XP Pile
[x] Interlude: Noburi's Training With Tsunade
[X] Action Plan: Where Chakra?

Could we add in more prep days, "to be done if time allows" ? Just incase the QMs rule that these tests take Prime a week or something.

Also we should maybe suggest some best practices to enter the cave. Isn't there dangerous wildlife here ? Some sort of crab with a chakra iron shell ?
 
we probably need at least a few more PS levels before that last rune's within our reach
Presumably, Oro did these Runes in order, so Hazo's day 0 prep day for Rune 4 is probably not the best indicator for whether Rune 4 is within Hazo's current ability to reach as part of a coherent and disciplined research agenda.

Tenketsu Rune

A rune that skips the water as a medium and opens one's tenketsu directly when touched while active. Tenketsu opening persists for only a few hours afterwards. But the process can be repeated.
This strikes me as the same mistake we were making with the time runes: thinking that trying to make rune effects shorter and smaller always make them easier. We should never try to put a cap on how much effect a novel rune can give us unless we actually want no more than that. If you want to be able to trade off duration for easiness, just specify that Hazou does not care about duration.

(As an aside, given that chakra coils are a physical part of the body, I suspect that the duration of the effect is largely inflexible. I do not think this is a chakra construct attaching itself to your body and doing things for a set amount of time, I think this is a physical change to your body that wears off on your body's schedule. I do not expect us to achieve durations longer or shorter than a week, which is even more reason not to tell Hazou to design a version that specifically only lasts for a few hours.)

I wonder why Tenten doesn't want Shadow Clones. Hazoupilot thinks it's loyalty, but the note about Fire Aura make me think she just doesn't trust dangerous jutsu.

What's the reputation of Shadow Clones? Just extremely dangerous high tier jonin jutsu? "Forbidden" technique?

Yeah that makes sense to me and was my read.
 
He'd left behind Gaku, Atomu, Honoka, Sasha, and a dozen other Gōketsu who meant something to him when he remembered they existed.
Oof.
"You may need to work on the banter," Hazō said with deadpan seriousness, "but you've already checked off the treason, family loyalty, Uplift compatibility, complicated love life, and 'being prepared for me to cause trouble' requirements. All you need now is a distinctive special interest and–"

Tenten tapped her shuriken holster meaningfully.

"–welcome aboard," Hazō concluded.
Yes. Tenten mastering banter is the only thing that stands in the way of Project: Omincule.
And then Mari was behind him, kicking his knee forward to bend him over so she could ruffle his hair.

"Also, dammit Hazō! I was having Yumenori prepare me a hundred different perfumed baths, all sealed up at exactly the perfect temperature, but you called right before she finished and now I don't have any perfumed baths at all!"

"That's what you're worried about?" Hazō said, bending lower to get her hands off his hair and ducking away. "I'm sure we can heat some water with some nice plants in it for you, Mari."

Mari barely quirked her lips and glanced at Noburi and Yuno for an instant. Right. Mari was trying to lighten the mood, but Noburi and Yuno had both had deep social connections in Leaf, futures that they were looking forward to, and that Hazō had now yanked away from them (for very good reasons!). Noburi trusted Hazō, but Yuno… Well, for better or worse, Hazō's strongest connection with her was their shared religion, and he wasn't sure if he should leverage it to win her approval or forgiveness.

"Well," she said, as Noburi and Yuno came into earshot, "Noburi has already given us the run-down, so we can skip the whole 'What the hell, Hazō?' part of this reunion."

"What!?" Noburi exclaimed. "Why would we skip that? It's the best part! What the hell, Hazō?"

"What the hell, Hazō?" Mari agreed.

"What the hell, Hazō?" Hazō heard Kei say from behind him.

"I thought it was pretty reasonable," Kagome-sensei said. "Gotta get away from the Akatsuki stinkers."

"What the hell, Hazō?" Tenten said.

Yuno looked back and forth between everyone, confused.

Noburi took a step to her side and reached around her shoulder with one arm, gesturing at Hazō.

Yuno hesitated. "What the hell, Hazō?" she finally said, slowly.
What the hell, great scene!?
"I want to teach everyone shadow clone," Hazō said. "We're missing-nin anyway, and it's the single most powerful technique we have, except maybe the Summoning Technique. It's non-elemental, so everyone can and should learn it."
Could we make a rune that shards summoning permissions from one scroll to more people?
"No such thing as absolute certainty, sis," Noburi said. "Not when working with bodies and bloodlines. But I'll see how close I can get."
Eeeeeeeee!
"That does look like a zigzag streak of red in the wall," she said. Immediately, she started scanning her telescope back and forth. "And look, I think I see a square shape in that pile of stones there. That must be the building foundation that Hazō mentioned."

Noburi followed her gaze, then took a step to snake his hand around her waist. "Good eye! I love how observant you are."
🐍 Nephew.
"That's a problem," Hazō said.

"It's a problem, yep," Kagome-sensei agreed. "But hey, the rift is closed!"

At least that was true. Years ago, the bladehorrors, Hazō-imitating monstrosities of razor-sharp steel, had sprung from a rift that looked like a shimmering piece of dark metal in this spot. Now, there was no sign of that metal hovering in the air. That was good.

Unfortunately, Hazō could see the rift's former site. Granite rubble surrounded the old foundations of the box, which varied between a couple inches and a couple feet, all connected by the smooth cuts of a razor edge rather than the jagged fractures of intense force. That was bad.

"So, the bladehorrors got out of the box, and then did… what?" Hazō asked.
You are Kxxrrrssszwww Hzxzzzwww, what do you do?
