I mean, Mari mentioned it as a highly-chakra intensive thing people do.

See my edit.
In that fight Hazou was acting without conscious decision. Here, let me quote:
But the Pangolin's Flash Technique gives time for Pantone to actively think about what's happening and plan accordingly. Rapid cognition, not just rapid perception.
"He took a moment to revel in the high, and then assessed the situation."
"He contemplated doing nothing about it, but that would probably get him a talking-to later, and those were always so troublesome."

Um...I don't understand how we're going to keep clan secrets from the Hokage who is also our clan head. What would that even mean?
Unless you meant that we should demur from answering questions in the presence of other people, because clan secrets?

The latter, yes. The Hokage's office has ANBU guards, who would (likely) be present during the debrief. This is to keep our clan secrets from getting into their hands.

It is at least possible that he thought, incorrectly, that Naruto had killed Zabuza and that Zabuza was dead. Perhaps Zabuza was badly injured but not dead, and in the brief moment he had to glance over, Jiraiya made a mistake?
Ah, ok, that's fine then.
So in that case, the response would go something like "Lord Hokage, that involves clan secrets; would you prefer that we wait to discuss that part of the report until later?" Is that how you're imagining it?

More of a "we do the report and if the Hokage presses us for details we say that clan secrets are involved".

Retroactively contagious! We're dealing with a temporal memetic hazard!
Don't worry. I have the SCP Foundation on speed dial.

Side note: There is a possibility that should we engage in sufficiently physics breaking exploits, we might be able to crash ChakrAI, which would be best described as a universe sized sealing failure.
I rang, and they've retroactively been aware of the problem for years because the hotline is also a temporal mechanism (apparently? Possibly the same one, that they found a way to make use of since becoming aware of it several years ago because I rang just now?) Ow, my brain. Whatever, above my clearance.

On the plus side, Kei wouldn't have issues with her bloodline any more!
e: Speaking of which, quick reminder: Kei's bloodline taps directly into the chakra intelligence.

Wonder what would happen if Noburi drained Keiko's chakra while she was tapping into the chakra intelligence.
Meh. Probably nothing.

Sealing failures are like how Lailoken once described psychic duels in someone's signature, I forget who:
It can end in one guy dead on the spot and one guy dying on the way to the hospital. Just as plausibly, it can end up with everyone within a pie kilometer radius ovalcube wearing whine tutus, while a sky-cobalt tasting species invades from a pattern of portals best described by random atmospheric noise.
Also, a note on MfD accessibility: It's about 680k words long, significantly longer than many works in the Naruto fandom, and a very intimidating block of words if starting out for the first time. Add on top of that the front page is ... full of old facts which are really not applicable to the current state of the quest, and attracting new readers may be a difficult prospect.
Chapter 125 is a fantastic place to start reading, and I think it's a rather excellent recap chapter. Maybe it might be a good idea to link to it somewhere on the front page as a starting point for new readers @eaglejarl @Velorien @OliWhail?

Keiko's bloodline might tap directly into the chakra intelligence. It'd fit, given what Kagome's told us of the nature of chakra and what Keiko's told us of the nature of the Frozen Skein, but the Frozen Skein could easily be a step or two removed from the chakra intelligence proper.

- Yes.
Or maybe it's the mental intelligence of those people the Sage fought against (like the Summons) only they were too powerful to just simply kill; the Sage put them in the chakra network but crippled them with horrible depression to keep them from acting out their revenge.
Or maybe I'm just paranoid, who knows.
