I don't care about peasant fish, only those with nontrivial amounts of chakra. TBH I don't really care about fish much at all, since they're in the sea.

- 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 open voting

- Yes.
Except Noburi makes a habit of draining fish of non-trivial amounts of chakra to replenish his own supply.

He also leaves ecosystems bare in his wake

Which makes me wonder if our enemies could track us by following all the dead fishHe also leaves ecosystems bare in his wake
*cough*HOTSPRINGS*cough*

- Yes.
I was talking about the fact that those fish would still be killed by your kill–non–sentient–chakra–beings–jutsu.

I think this semi-canon technique could be useful for CQC. At least it serves as an inspiration here. Let's add Vacuum Step and skywalkers to it. She'll be the thunder and lightning!
Other option would be using Frozen Skein. Cold Hand of Death or something. On one hand, it'll be both useful in close and long range combat. On the other - how do you quantify the danger the user is in from using this technique in battle conditions? (especially for prolonged battles)
How about we level up Noburi's medical skills through his bloodline that at some point he'll be able to reprogram and take control of chakra beasts. Or make horrible chakra beast mutants under his control?
Killing monsters is fine. Having an army of loyal chakra beasts? Awesome.

By the way, @eaglejarl, @Velorien, @OliWhail, this is yall's story, and I'm not trying to tell you what to do or anything, but please be aware that no matter how many people hold hostage their participation in the quest as leverage, I'm still going to be supporting your patreons, commissioning awesome fanart, and maybe writing random software for the community when I feel like it or the need arises.
Yeah. That'll show you. Hmmph.
(Did I mention you guys inspired me to start my own rational quest? Tentatively named "Legacy of the Goddess" and featuring a-certain-person-who-I-will-not-presently-name-out-of-respect-for-their-anonymity as both co-QM and every-malicious-entity-hellbent-on-universal-annihilation-ever.)

That's the technique that makes Mori vegetables.
Seconding.
... on the note of random software you could provide, how 'bout a program with a friendly UI for creating techniques that autocalculates their XP cost for a given level and attribute values and relative to other options (which could also be used for calculating when leveling Roki, for instance, would be effective)?

It does. Or it's implied to be. It could be a separate technique based upon Frozen Skein, or result of overusing this. We did hear elders using FS in combat and still being in good shape though.
Hell, I was against using FS precisely for that reason. Buuut eventually Keiko's gonna need another upgrade, and possibility of her going full Number Man is too good to pass up.
- Location
- Yes.
So you are arguing that the benefits of a fucking powerup is worth the risks of Keiko dying and/or becoming a vegetable, do I understand you?

Isn't that what we do every time we make a new seal? Bit of a double standard if you ask me
- Location
- Yes.
Unless I'm interpreting @PurposefulZephyr's statement wrong, it's not.
FMPOV I'm looking at a suggestion that wants Keiko to go balls deep into the Mori, and use that ultimate technique. To be capable of using it on command, or reusing it.
Ignoring the fact that this is literally impossible by WoG/character sheet saying otherwise...this would be the equivalent of getting Noburi to infuse a Skywalker seal with his Sealing 0 and expecting it to work.

Technically Noburi does know how to en-seal his barrel...
- Location
- Yes.
That...reminds me.
I've always wanted Hazou & Kagome to study and reverse-engineer Noburi's barrel seals so they can make him better-fitting barrels. But that would fall under clan secrets and thus Noburi would likely be pissed.
Do you think we could ask the GMs if Hazou thinks this is true, or no?

Pretty sure we've asked this in game before, and Noburi was like, "no."
- Location
- Yes.
Hm. Well I wonder if Noburi would mind learning Sealing so he could do this himself...

Do note that the current form factor is the result of generations of Wakahisa working at it.

I would but I'm too busy writing software for my quest tbh. UIs are time-consuming, and cross referencing other skills would require modeling or otherwise keeping track of what benefits skills provide, rather than just pure number crunching.
You can get the number crunching bit though with wolfram. This gives the total xp needed for a skill at level 21 with stat requirements a*3, b*4, c*3. I might be arsed to write a python program to more easily calculate costs from a specified starting point, but unfortunately that's about as much effort as I can spare atm.

Just ask Jiraiya to do it. It's his clan secret now
- Location
- Yes.
Yes, and it's the best model for overall use. But I'm thinking of getting specialized barrels, for things like stealth (hide under clothes), or pure capacity (max size).

Are the fish sentient? If not, why should I care?

*looks forward to having another universe to attempt to destroy*
Thinking about it, there's a chance that my destructive bent will be satisfied by your quest. Might make me less Armageddony here.
