- 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
A not so serious proposal:
Get people to pitch in some cash to fund a manga cover or a few manga pages of climax scenes or near climax scenes.
I guesstimate that it will cost 100 dollars for the cover. For manga pages, I suspect it will cost 70 dollars per manga pages, to do only the climax scenes, for the total cost of 280 dollars.
The art style would be as if Kishimoto or his AU replacement MfD-sensei drawn them(Though MfD would be considered a side gaiden).

Our doom is assured. We are going to die! AAAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH!

I'll see how today goes, but best to assume yes.

- ...Nice try.
We were not dead in the zeroth update. Not being killed in the current update implies we will not be killed in the upcoming update.
By the power vested in me by the Principle of Mathematical Induction, I hereby declare us immortal.

I think this has come up before, but we have no problem whatsoever with that. I can think of more than a few ninja who'd be delighted to have an unkillable test subject...
Edit: For that matter, imagine for a second that rumours get out about a literally unkillable ninja. How can a ninja be immortal? Since there are no known Bloodline Limits that grant actual invulnerability, clearly they've discovered some kind of secret forbidden ninjutsu. How would the world react to knowing that a certain missing-nin is in possession of something like that?
Hazō's personality is formed of the beliefs and wishes of the hivemind, not maintained by them. If the hivemind went away, he'd just end up an ordinary ninja with some very weird beliefs and inclinations (by the standards of the rest of the world). It would be pretty horrible for him, though, since he'd essentially be experiencing a major intelligence downgrade with no explanation and no way to do anything about it.

Is the hivemind always there, present before the swamp mission, and even after the ending?
Or is it something that is only present for the duration of the story or a premature death?
How much IQ does the hivemind add to Hazo's natural IQ? How intelligent is he compared to Keiko and Nobby if he doesn't have the hivemind?
When he munchkin in games, is that an artifact of him drawing on our collective intelligence?
Inquiring mind wants to know.

It was dormant before the swamp mission, where the intensity of the survival situation brought it out shonen-style (maybe). No comment on what will happen after the ending.
There is no real-world equivalent for having a hivemind do your planning for you, so it is impossible to accurately describe the impact on Hazō's intelligence in real-world terms. It is certainly not as simple as an IQ boost.
It's more that he always had optimisation-related habits of thought (recall how he got into trouble with his teachers), and the hivemind has only reinforced those, and games are an area where he is not held back by his general thirteen-year-old ignorance/inexperience.

Hazou: 13 Intelligence, 5 Wits, 3 Resolve
Keiko: 4 Intelligence, 4 Wits, 4 Resolve
Noburi: 2 Intelligence, 4 Wits, 4 Resolve
Hazou unaided by the hivemind should be noticeably more clever than Keiko without the Frozen Skein, from what I can tell. (unless those numbers mean nothing)

- Yes.
IIRC they don't really mean anything. They're just numbers for calculating skills/techniques

So, he's more used to leveraging his intelligence effectively than they?
He was "leveraging" us, the hivemind.

IC, are we his ancestors that he's spiritually/mentally connected to via Iron Nerve? The memes of the dead embedded via movement across generations?

No, we're sealing dimension horrorterrors that use him as a plaything. Weren't you paying attention to what happened to Oliwhail?
He has aberrant personality manifold. It's something that the Yamanaka clan knows about. At least, that's what ex-canon told us.

It's ex-canon. That means we are in no way bound by it, and if you make assumptions horrible things may happen to you.
Wait, may happen to you? Sorry, someone must have taken my QM hat away for a moment.

Sorry, didn't want to leave him in suspense.
