[X] Interlude: Changes in Leaf Academy education pre and post Skywalkers
Step 1: Go to the library.
Step 2: When you finally get kicked out, go get something to eat, maybe discuss some of the things you read.
Hazō might have a near-terminal case of foot in mouth disease, but even he can judge this particular audience.

Hmm... ideas:
Only bad ideas were here.

Can Hazou please not suggest things that even we think are bad ideas?
EDIT: Or rather, not in a way where the result is people thinking "Wow Hazou's such a dick" instead of "Wow Hazou's having way too much fun messing with ShiKei".

Yes, but there's plausibly lots of skywalker training that doesn't involve actually using skywalkers, in much the same way that lots of paratrooper training doesn't involve jumping out of planes. Off the top of my head
- Increased emphasis on treewalking.
- Systematic desensitization of fear of heights. (Combined with treewalking, I imagine there's a lot of running academy students up and down the tallest walkable object the academy has available; perhaps a training wall was constructed specifically for this purpose).
- More time spent on dealing with attacks that come from below (and, perhaps, above, depending on estimates for how long it'll take for them to get reverse-engineered), as opposed to the existing distinct classes of above, behind, from the side, and multiple combatants. These can be simulated with earth jutsu.
- Decreased emphasis on running over uneven terrain (since increased emphasis has to come from somewhere).
- Until skywalkers get reverse-engineered, ranged combat is going to be massively more powerful than melee, so perhaps increased emphasis on throwing things along with a decreased emphasis on taijutsu, as well as a different basket of jutsu. Again, depends on how long Leaf thinks it'll take for skywalkers to get reverse-engineered.
- Perhaps an attempt to get more ninja good enough at sealing they can make their team skywalkers on an as-needed basis without sealing failures? (Depends sealing mechanics and I have no clue what those are anymore.)

In retrospect, those were way more dickish than waking-up me thought. Sorry!

And that sentence started out so well, too.

Would this be a good time to mention that in Japanese, "shikei" means "death penalty"?

That sounds like a great name for their collaborative bingo book entry (Can you call a bingo book entry collaborative? Probably.)

What is the Iron Nerve equivalent of Mangekyou Sharingan? Being able to perfectly replicate anyone else's movements by seeing them? Or gaining control of the autonomic nervous system?

You don't think we'd be so unoriginal as to copy a canon mechanic for a new Bloodline Limit, do you?
The Sharingan's powers revolve around copying and manipulating other people. The Iron Nerve's powers revolve around copying and manipulating yourself. Thus, logically, if the Mangekyō Sharingan is unlocked by killing another, its Iron Nerve equivalent should be unlocked by killing yourself.
Better get cracking on that resurrection tech...
