Please, please, pretty please with cherries on top, propose this to Jiraiya. I don't promise the outcome will be good but please please please propose it.
Damnit, I'm out of aspirin.
...Crap.
Oh, wait, I still have one can of Guiness. Saved!
I shall now make corny jokes and ask you to wheat around while I make cereal (and parallel) puns about various grains.
(NB: I'm a Murikan, so for me 'spelled' is a past participle and 'spelt' is a type of wheat. If you're a Brit then you may feel free to mock the poor spelling of the colonials. If you're also from Trumpistan then I hope you'll accept that this is intended in good fun and wasn't intended to be mocking.)
My childhood is forever ruined. I'm pretty sure Matthew Broderick is onboard, though, and I think Ally Sheedy probably is too.
In seriousness, what actually happened? Didn't they turn into a giant tree or something?

I need rules for this. For a friend.
Jiraiya: "So you want me to take time out of my VERY busy schedule so I can explain to your girlfriend's father that I've adopted you?"
Hazou: "...yes?"
Jiraiya: "Hold on, let me check if I can fit you in... NOPE."

I had a chakra/seal interaction question.
Channeling chakra to a part of the body that isn't either hands or feet is really hard to accomplish.
However, doesn't the Dispel technique cycle chakra through the entire body?
Therfore, could we literally staple a seal to our back, and then cast Dispel to activate it?
The chakra cycling through our body should travel through the blood from the wound, and then reach the paper and activate the seal.

The important details: (aka why I can technically call it "strip global thermonuclear war")
- Naruto at one point uses mass Sexy no Jutsu with all his clones. The results are predictable and technically involve him stripping all his clothes off.
- All five elemental nations were involved, and the attacks used created new lakes as well as erased mountain ranges in different countries, hence the "global thermonuclear".
- The Fourth Shinobi World War does not technically end until a bit after Naruto and Sasuke finish their
lover's spatduel to the deathfriendly discussion on the geopolitics of the Elemental Nations and announcing their candidacy for the position of Seventh Hokage, meaning all the previous sections technically occurred during the Fourth Shinobi World War.
- Take an entire planet with multiple nuclear armed nations.
- All players pick a nuclear nation to play as.
- Begin a nuclear war of all vs all.
- Strip off your clothes in inverse proportion to what percentage of your civilians survived.

We did, assuming you were around for Chapters 120-122. The problem is I don't think we've had a chance to brief the rest of Leaf's intelligence apparatus, and his information is dubiously accurate. Skysquids he was right on the mark about, but sealing factories and scorch squads are still unconfirmed, and those are the theories that are easiest to verify.

Noburi: "Hazō, for the love of all that is good, can you *please* at least *try* to keep the injuries you're immediately going to come bother me with simple?"

Well, being able to activate a burning wood macerator to prevent a kunai in our back would probably even out the fact we'd need to occasionally deal with small puncture wounds.

I'm reasonably sure leaf has seal factories. Seal masters produce an incredibly valuable product and leaf probably doesn't have enough numbers to produce enough skywalkers and pay them a fair market price. Since they apparently can afford to give genin skywalkers they probably have people chained up producing them

Question: at one point Hiruzen and Jiraiya had a conversation about scorch squads right? And we don't know if Hiruzen knew about them, Jiraiya knew about them, both, or neither?
What happens in a scenario where the Hokage would be privy to the info but Jiraiya was not. As stand-in Hokage would he now be privy to the info? In a situation where you have a stand-in Hokage, would they be briefed on Hokage-level secrets, or would the administration know to save Hokage-secrets for a real full Hokage?
Basically, did Jiraiya's knowledge on scorch squads change after becoming stand-in Hokage and does this have interesting implications in other cases?

At the risk of being repetitive: we saw one genin using skywalkers for one task that literally could not be completed without them. We have no reason to expect that Skywalker production is wide-scale just because of that one event.

I'm hoping I'm wrong. It just makes everything fit for me. Seals are expensive. Seal masters aren't that common. Skywalkers are a huge security risk. If you can give them to one genin probably give them to more than one genin.
I don't want to investigate or anything about this. It's just what makes all the pieces make sense to me. I'm not going to be surprised that leaf does a bunch of shady shit. We just can't afford to look into it until Jiraiya is permanently Hokage

It does make sense that Leaf would be making as many Skywalkers as they could, because Skywalkers are useful and Leaf likes having useful things. I just don't like the Genin being brought up as evidence that every Leaf-nin has a pair by now or something ridiculous like that.

Actually I live in a different British offshoot down under. Officially we use British English but don't really care that much. In my opinion the British have no grounds to complain about bastardisation of language unless they are actually French.

Just as a suggestion if Kagome is reluctant to go to individual therapy, maybe Team Uplift can find some group therapy to join and take turns talking about their feelings, so he's encouraged to share in an environment that he knows is supportive and it seems less like he's being singled out (and also the others get the chance to as well).

Here's a bit that we may want to check how much of is still relevant to us, and a quick reminder as to exactly what Jiraiya said on the topic of our seals. Specifically:
Jiraiya said:
zap lunch

Is this about avoiding unpleasantness with Kagome or are we trying to solve a real problem with Kagome?

As per a prior ruling, the seals must be in contact in order for one to trigger the other. If there are multiple seals in contact with the LBF, the QMs get to roll on a certain table.
It is no longer formally a secret given that you're coming back from a Hokage-sanctioned Leaf mission where you had a Leaf chūnin who wasn't under any orders to conceal who she was working with. That said, the Hokage doesn't want it spread around before he can make a formal announcement.
Hazo is vaguely aware that there is a Team 8 because Leaf authorities can count, but he has no reason to know anything about it beyond that.
Clearly, this is what you should be working on first, not all those civilian sealcrafting projects.
Yes, they did.

We need to wait until we can get Orichimaru's research before we can start giving everyone a Kei.
Edit:Actually if we assume that Kagome's theory has a grain of truth then it is a strong possibility the Sage is possessing or has suborned Orichimaru. Getting that bloodline/cloning research may be even harder than we think.
Give Everyone a Kei should still go on our list of long term goals.

Now that's just bad infosec. They should use arbitrary large numbers for teams or random words or something that prevents people from knowing roughly how many teams there are.
