We know of a jutsu that contains scents/bodily odors and then dumps them in one mega-concentrated spot.
We could make a modified/mobile air dome that thickens the air around Hazou into a fragile shell-like construct (1 stress box, if that) that contains particulates for a certain duration. Then we can use a Glorious Purifier to seal away the concentrated air within the dime.

COLT:
1. Improve rocket seal to try to get maximum impulse before it stops working (bigger bang, longer duration, reusable, etc). Try to get a small crossbow bolt like projectile with 2 in diameter and about 6 in long to go as fast and straight as possible (feathers like arrow, try different material/seal combos).
2. Put 100 kg cylindrical paper bags filled with lead balls in storage seals.
3. Place 10 filled storage seals on projectile with trigger/timer. Add one rocket seal. Bonus if storage seals can be activated by the rocket activating.
4. Place in launch tube.
5. Hand out to clones + cheap summons before big fight.

Noburi won a couple significant conflicts this update, can he get some FP for it?

Very much so, yes. I'm extremely happy that Noburi managed to get the best of both worlds here.
Honestly I think we still need to hear back from Paper about how the last research cycle on Light Shift seals went. There was a miscommunication and they thought Hazou was researching something entirely different, so the matter needs to be reviewed again before we know how the last cycle turned out.

We're no more likely to fail on them than on anything else that we get the same "well within his capacity" response on.

Except it's a secondary source on Hazō. Someone he touched was touched by the gross. If it was oro, it'd be primary.
I think it's Ino.
Ino would mean at least secondary for shika, third for kei, and the amount of time kei spends with the isc...
The out of context problem. That chapter is heartbreaking.
Damn. Was looking forward to reading Naruto's reaction. Guess I'll just have to imagine him gasping like a fish with a Hazo induced headache. 😥

Could claim that we invented runecrafting sooner than we actually did, first EM nuke was a rune which didn't actually fail, just wildly exceeded expectations and (unlike explosives) lacked a viable downscaled variant. Doom of Isan was a copy of it, which must logically have been built either by Akatsuki, or some yet-unknown and appallingly powerful outside group. Even if Hazo weren't immediately put under strict orders not to do that sort of thing again, short of another Battle of the Gods, why in the hell would Leaf use such a weapon against Isan of all places, which was on track to be one of their closest allies? As opposed to, say, getting revenge for the Collapse.
Reference Itachi's potential to have analyzed the prototype after it shut down via cheaty eyeballs, vaguely allude to Konan and/or Deidara possibly being able to use variations on their widely-known signature techniques to build a duplicate without knowing the whole underlying theory, if they had a sufficiently precise description, ideal astrological conditions (surely wasn't a coincidence it happened on the coldest day of the year), and weeks of on-site prep.

Rock Village Quest Negaverse: What? how? It should not be possible for Leaf to gather that much gold and dump it on our economy!
Naruto Quest: So this is what Hokage Asuma was talking about.....
Leaf Quest: Finally, another Hazo wildcard. Can we get a natural 20 next time?

"Well within his capacity" runes are safer to research if the effect is simple, if the effect is based on a known low difficulty seal or if the effect is a small change to an already known rune.
This does not fill me with confidence. We have only researched one rune. Would feel better if we did a prep day on a Fast Forward Seal that returned difficulty below Jiraiya.

But... seals have no relevance to runecraft? Generally speaking veterancy on one does not apply to the other.
e: Also sealing is a discipline with significantly different things that are difficult and different low hanging fruits.

Brain not braining. For preventing runic failures, feels safer to explore known boundaries? If we can walk somewhere we can fly there.

Right, that quote you linked is why I'm willing to do this.
In particular.
We've already done a difficulty check that says this rune is well within Hazou's capabilities. I don't know what more you want here.
They're in my plan, plz vote 🙏

I think the risk is less than 1%. I don't think it will fail but on a -12 PS roll and we have the FP for rerolls. I don't even think it will fail on the -12 to be honest.
Absolutely no chance they'll answer this, but good on ya for trying.
Why should we think that's the case for this rune in particular? If it was another rune where the diff check came back "Hazou thinks this rune is well within his capabilities" would you be similarly concerned?
If the only information we had about the rune was the check, then yes. Thinking a rune is within his capabilities is relative to his skill, not an objective measurement of difficulty.
As there is at least 25% overlap between seal difficulty estimates, expect that at least 25% of seals withing his capability fall within "he thinks he could maybe do it." And because he has almost no experience in the field, maybe even some overlap with "this rune is beyond his capabilities."
Theorycrafting. Rune TNs will almost always be two "difficulty categories" easier than researching the same strength effect using seals so difficulty checks can be laundered by doing prep days on easier-than Jiraiya level seals.

My big problem with this entire section, with the exception of Fast Forward runes,m is that we are not making literally any progress toward the goal Naruto set us throughout it.
