I think we were wanting a month because almost all our other runes last a month at most and people are leery of blowing up an active rune

- naruto rationalist romance armageddon is looking better and better damn you kishimoto explosions everywhere explosives solve everyone if in doubt surrender to the mercy of zabuza it seemed like a good idea at the time looks like a really bad case of being a jōnin my god. where does the lore end? precommitting is the winning plan screaming in kagome screw the rules i have explosives something bad might still happen sometimes you gotta sociopath stabby zabby subsection c of paragraph 9 should include we can weaponize this so hard
I speculate that we want the extra power to ensure the rune and it's fragments are completely disintegrated/randomized, so that someone can't examine the cracked pieces.
This.
We should *really* specify a variable-timer tho.

We can probably just slap down a bunch of seals to guarantee destruction. Reference material needs to be pretty precise to count, from what we saw of Orochimaru's struggles.
That said, I do like the fact that Explosive Runes can't be removed the same way seals can. Plus, imagine if we accidentally kill Sasori when he tries to study one of our old pieces and one of those goes off right next to him!
As others said, to destroy the buried runes we leave behind. Bury the explosive rune (puffer size) with the other rune and forget about it.
The seals we have don't have a timer of sufficient length. Skipping from "ten minutes" to "a month" is a huge step on the time ladder. I think it's easier to do this with runes and there's practically no downside. Save the substrate cost. Which is minimal with puffer size explosives.
Puffer size explosives buried 100m down, shouldn't leave much of a crater. Especially if there's no open space to collapse.
Many of our runes last longer than a week.
Since the explosives are variable timer I assumed it was implicit. I'll make sure that's clear in the linked prep day. The plan always was, and remains for the timers to be up to a month
Amusing, but 100% of my rationale is that researching the long-duration seems like something runes can do with much less difficulty than seals.

Someone @ProperAttorney (?) on Discord, made the argument that gravity manipulation seems like something runes would be good at (I agree with him). I don't particularly think either Chakra EMP or Distressers will be easy to do with runes, so they seemed lower priority than that.
Gravity would be for training and debuffing enemies.

Hazou doesn't need to understand the physics behind time dilation (whatever they may be in-universe that allow for the TRs to work) to create a time dilation rune, why wouldn't the same apply to magical medicine runes?

He probably could eventually figure it out, it's just substantially easier when you use the already existing magic system. We've also been told making psychic effects would be substantially easier if he already knows genjutsu, for example.
Screw this shit, I have been convinced to offtrack the long duration explosive and do it as a seal.
Long Fuse Explosive
Seal
An explosive seal that can be set on a timer of up to "a month" on the timeladder.
Does not need to be mobile or single element.

We did the same thing with Hazou while he had a Severe.
I think it's fine

We weren't deliberately moving into an area that was known to have nasty chakra critters, though, were we?
e: Also like. That's a decision hazou's making for himself. Not a decision he's making for someone else. Very different vibes.
suggest you add "this can be implemented as an immobile array if Hazoupilot thinks that's easier"
I'm gonna let 'pilot decide if that's how he wants to go.
Hmmm, I'll put, "does not need to be mobile or single-element" in the description.

It's possible but not certain that it would be worth sticking around for at least one more update.
Note that you don't know for a fact that ES60 will allow you to create substrate. You do know that Bones of Creation 30 will do it.
Haven't thought about it, sorry.
Note that moving an active rune 100m takes more than 60 hours. You can do this various ways (e.g. by using Tunnel Excavation or Earthshaping to make a vertical shaft under the rune and allow it to fall over the course of a few days) or you can infuse it at the bottom of a shaft to start with.

Mostly the same as the other plan, but without leaving the cave's locale. It's fine to be 60 miles away or so.

- Sanity check with Uplift
- Hazou
- Continue researching Unchained TR140 and Force Domes w/DoB, full prep, reroll for progress
- Research also Long Fuse Explosive, begin by prepping one day, if genin difficulty, begin no-DoB no-prep infusions, if chunin, prep 4 days total, reroll for safety only. If more difficult, abort.
- After TR140 finishes, prep 1 day and research Storm Runes/Remote Explosive w/ DoB (IFF they are Easy or Trivial).
- Test if an explosive will completely destroy an expended rune.
- Examine the misterator that wouldn't activate.
- Work on setting up a base camp within a few hours of the cave, with the intention to swing by for a swim every 10 days (remain wary for chakravores).
- Continue to FOOM as much as possible, use previous chakra budget.
- Ask Mari if there's any difference in her aura from the chakra water.
- Noburi
- Should prioritize healing Yuno, SC research, and teaching Hazou Mednin, in that order.
- Collect additional data from the chakra water until he thinks we can eventually replicate the effect without returning to the grotto.
- Kagome
- Continue working on Banshee Fuckers. Coordinate with Hazou to avoid finishing cycles too far apart.
- Kei+Tenten
- Prioritize searching the caves for the Otter Scroll (we know this is a long shot). More prosaically, clean up any traces of our battles. They should retreat from any sign of chakravores/magmaspines. Send Canvass with them to help search.

Do we get to know why? Or is this for QM enjoyment?
EDIT: We already plan to stay for 6 more days in my plan, do we need to stay for longer than that?

I don't know why you would think this. Hidan can definitely track us down if he's within 5 miles or so. He can narrow down a 60 mile radius circle pretty fast (days) if we're stuck to it.
It sounds like you want to stay here permanently, and that is a deeply terrible idea.
If we leave we give up triple tracking runes (as opposed to double tracking them) and like 400ish chakra out of our budget. Cuts us down about 5 training blocks per day.
It's really not that bad. Like running another track of research.
Notice that we will die if Hidan catches us.
