You know, if we do bioseals and can graft tentacles onto Hazou's body, maybe, just maybe the tentacle movements can be saved in the iron nerve database. Think about all the seals Hazou could make with 8+2 or 10+2 arms!
 
That isn't the path to resurrection. That is the path to making seal prosthetic organs and it won't help you much when you need to fix the brain.

Of course seals that make dead biology run like living biology is the path to ressurection. That's exactly what it is. And once you've revived one type of tissue, you've lowered the TNs for other types of tissue. You work your way through the entire human body, perhaps focussing on tissues that share common features with tissues you've already worked with. Making peripheral nervous tissue work especially will decrease brain seal TNs.

"Alright, all the seals are set up."

"Did you remember the spleen? You know what happened last time."

"Yes, I remembered the spleen! Kami, you forget the spleen one time..."

TBH I would be more comfortable starting down the bio sealing path if we had medicine 15 at first. Any less than that triggers my paranoia
 
Hm. It occurs to me that the Nara might have seal theory specialists: people -- maybe even civilians -- who don't do work on researching seals but instead serve as repositories of sealing theory to bounce ideas off of and generate ideas for their sealing specialists.

Clearly we should have cross-discipline training among the team: Get everyone up to 15 Summoning Theory (because they don't have scrolls :p), 15 Medicine, and 15 Sealing.

Your previous post just said you were raising the acidity of the stomach not that you were reviving the tissue. Reviving the tissue could work through the research would be long and difficult. If it is possible (and purely biological resurrection is permitted by the chakra A.I) I would expect Orichimaru to have discovered it by now.

Canonically, at least, Orochimaru focused on ninjutsu, not sealing.

Forget the word "reviving", it's unhelpful. The distinction between dead and alive is really blurry at the organelle level. The important thing is that the physiological mechanisms that would cause the epithelial cells of the stomach to produce acid are made to function properly, despite the stomach itself being "dead" from a macroscopic standpoint.

If the physiological mechanisms of an organism are being made to work properly because of chakra magic, then that's not some horrendously difficult thing that we put on a pedestal and say that it's beyond Hazou's grasp because Orochimaru hasn't done it, that's something we can start doing right now, one mechanism at a time. Starting by getting a dead stomach to produce acid, or by making a dead muscle twitch, or by whatever else you care for.
 
Getting a dead heart to twitch would be a pretty good start. Then all we'd need to do is create a seal that created O negative blood...

e:

...Wait.

We could make synthesis seals. Effectively, FMA-style alchemy.

I wonder how much effort it would take to perform chemistry in storage seals... They're timeless, so it might be hard to do some kinds.
 
On the note of other ideas, we could also work with the Nara to develop a sealing style that works with their printing presses.

...although I'm sure they've thought of that, so maybe nevermind.

e: I do wonder how significantly higher the number of Nara sealmasters is as compared to other clans. All things considered I could see it being higher than even the Kurosawa for a number of reasons (their structured learning methods, the Nara's proclivity toward mental fields and sedentary nature, etc.)

Printing presses are pretty new technology, all things considered, so I wouldn't be surprised if the Nara did think of printing press seals but just haven't worked out anything practical. On the other hand, sealmasters who think about remaking sealing from the ground up, according to Kagome, do not live long, so it's quite possible that everyone who thought of it hit the 'oh wait it's not even brushstrokes' and promptly pushed the idea far, far away.

At the very least, we talk to the Nara about it. We should talk about it as a generation-long project to reinvent sealing from the ground up (because that's what it is) to gain nigh-unlimited amounts of seals. Maybe they tell us they're already working on it and we focus on convincing Kagome that infinite explosives is a worthy enough goal, at worst they tell us it's a fool's errand out of hand and we have to convince them, and at best we set Leaf down the path to godhood.

I feel like that's a feature most people wouldn't try to get rid of, so actually may not be that difficult to implement. Afterall, Macerators are also just broken storage seals. Why not these?

Surely sealmasters of Jiraiyas or Kagome's skill level could research the equivilant of a party trick seal in an entirely new language...

Or maybe, since it's an entirely different sealing style, it would require an entirely different skill that also needed to be leveled. An entirely different dice pool.

It's more than a little funny that Hazou's greatest personal (as opposed to ideas he's given Kagome) innovations is a broken storage seal.

I get the feeling that the QMs would need to invent an entirely new set of mechanics, because learning your own sealing style from a teacher and tons of theory is a lot different from inventing the fundamentals on your own. Like, even a second stat for printing press sealing would be trivial to get a few levels in, enough to make explosive tags, and it's not actually going to be that easy.

My best bet is that the project will be a very long series of moderately-difficult to master-difficult sealing research projects with no benefit on their own, as if we were researching a bunch of new seal types but with no seal to infuse afterwards. Once all of those are completed, you could start leveling printing-press-sealing, I imagine.

You can't level certain stats without a teacher. I imagine this would be one of them, with a research project fraught with sealing failures required for each level until tenth.

Isn't PMYF a broken seal? (If you define "unseal relative to the earth" as a feature.
Also, I vote we continue this tradition.
  • Storage Seal that doesn't give things back! (Garbage disposal Seal)
  • Storage Seal where the sealing pressure is even harsher! (Trash compactor seal)
  • Storage Seal where the time passes just fine! (Cheese culturing seal.)
Hmm, What else?

I do note that the lack of time passing may be an inextricable feature of the 'location' that storage seals store their materials.

Storage seal that doesn't give things back is probably not possible.

Cheese culturing seal relies on the assumption of bacteria being unaffected by storage seals, since living macroscopic organism cannot be inside storage seals, but it may not apply to microorganism.
