I'm saying they can use extreme measures to mitigate a particularly bad rift.
We're just as dead if we're caught in the collateral damage.

How do we know that all of the seals are like the ticking time bomb the one proctor gave us? He already identified us as 'traitors' and we know the Watchers should step in if anyone gets too insane with copious amounts of seals.
It's entirely possible that each proctor has different kinds of light emitting seals just to screw with seal-creating genin like us. We need a larger sample size than one potentially dangerous seal before we set out to protect the world from devastation and uniting all peoples within our nations at the cost of our own promotions plus making our new village look good.
This could be a part of the test in and of itself. They could be using our idealistic tendencies against us, so let's verify the danger before we get too far ahead of ourselves. If every Leaf team returns with the same leaking seals as well as ambushing and taking seals from other village ninja, then we should consider throwing the exam for the sake of the world.
Panicking is bad.
Don't panic.

Alright, okay, so, Kakashi and Gai are likely to be occupied being J's bodyguards, they're our first priorities to talk to if not. Otherwise, any of the kiddies jounin -- Asuma or Kurenai would take it seriously if given appropriate codewords, I think.
This is true. We might send one of the Leaf teams to get a different seal to see if they end up getting a different seal.
Still, this would also imply that Hazou failed a Deception roll against the proctor, and not all of the proctors would likely be highly trained in deception.

I doubt that happens, the Kurosawa Clan can't be that stupid. This is probably a high level sealing trick that makes Non-sealmaster nervous and forces them to change tacticis, Ren isn't isn't a idiot, this test is supposed to be 'fair', aka help her politics. If she suspected Hauzou being a sealsmith then she would use a trick that puts her own allies ahead. I mean we should investigate if the sealing failures are as bad as he thinks.

Do we have any Keiko Numbers on the chance of the seal failure happening?
Like, assuming we do nothing, how many and how bad seal failures we'll be facing?
Or more like how long before a seal failure happens that is bad enough to stop the exam/destroy local reality?
It feels like a firefighter scenario now. Outside of some very clean plans, we'll most likely have to deal with at least one fire.
Except the fires are made of cotton candy that smells like ambiguous arousal and puts microscopical party hats on every atom, creating miniature black holes that spouts micro confetti instead of Hawking Radiation.

100% agree. We shouldn't assume our opponents are idiots
...that would imply CAUSING a sealing failure, which is not acceptable. You can never know exactly how bad a failure will be anyways, because it varies from failure to failure.

They're not necessarily idiots. Also the exams were set up in a rush, choosing a cheap high volume supplier with little vetting makes sense.
Edit: frankly if they were trying to hand specific combatants booby trapped seals, that's like a violation of the spirit (if not the letter) of the chuunin exams. Everyone would drop a ton of bricks on Mist. Mist is weak enough now to be unable to survive that.
Seriously, an attack targeted on us is grasping at straws. It might be that only a portion of the pool of night lights came from this one idiot sealmaster, but then we'd expect them to appear in clusters (when proctors grab seals from that particular box).

Can we research a Party Trick that gives off the same colour/effects of light as the Night Light in under an hour, in Hazou's opinion?
Also, is it all of the leaf teams that are now with us?
EDIT: If Leaf has a morse code equiv, we can set off explosives in a pattern to encode a message to Jiraiya.

The scramble for electing a Mizukage was a bit of misdirection though: it was unanimously decided that Ren would lead long before the deadline for hosting the exams occurred. How do we explicitly know they aren't trying to be sneaky here as well?
Maybe they had to make do with a sub-standard seal master, but if I were in their position I would consider the risk of having a major rift opening in one of my testing grounds to be an unacceptable risk not just to my own home's security but also to my village's international standing. Allowing the Out to come in does not inspire confidence in one's potential customers and it really makes you look weak to all of your rivals.
On the other hand, they simply could be that desperate that they need to do such drastic measures just to save face (or their Sealing traditions are just ass-backwards, but I have a feeling that is a self-correcting problem given enough time). We really need to verify which scenario it is though so we can act appropriately.

Man, Jiraiya is not going to be happy when he hears that the second task is a seal-failure death trap waiting to happen.
Mist's plan makes sense, though, from a non-sealmaster perspective. You can ask for as many seals as you want, but you have to light them all up and that means giving up large amounts of your chakra. The more seals you take, the more vulnerable you are to other teams, causing tradeoffs and strategy and decision-making and stuff.
The problem is they gave the task to a sealsmith who, apparently, was too stupid to find a stable way to handle it (take in a bunch of chakra and vent it out as some kind of energy or something) and too weak-kneed to tell the organizers that there might not be a Death Swamp after the event.

I don't think there is a decent chance of Jiraiya checking for messages of his own volition.

Wait. We could use banshee seals to do morse code.
So does Mist just not have a tradition of seal academia and checking each other's work? Did they have no one who could make a normal Party Trick you can't turn off?
Urgh... Just... Stinkers.
[jk] Redefect to Mist and teach them proper sealing safety to stop them destroying the world
Goals:
I just suggested that we do that with explosives. Which has two extra benefits: We have enough explosives for it already on hand, and we get to use explosives.

I'm not sure they'd be loud enough, but if so, sure.
