Huh. I would never have guessed that Kagome is Jewish.

Without making a canonical statement as to Kagome's ethnic and/or religious background, I suspect it's a reference to this. You will note that the kagome lattice was coined by a Japanese scientist.

Mine was deadly serious. When you begin to consider the nature of the relationship between sealcrafting and the Kaballah, in particular with regard to sealing failures and the Qliphoth, you will realise that the question of Kagome's Jewishness could potentially be of critical importance.

Aha, you are beginning to grasp the pattern behind sealing failure effects.
- Location
- Yes.
That seems pretty tame as far as sealing failures go.
...wait a minute.
Did a sealing failure affect our perception of sealing failures?
AHHHHHH

Unless we go with the Faflec Hypothesis, and the sealing failure has warped your perception of writing about sealing failures.
Wow, this conversation really blows, and now Kagome's blubbering. I know we have time to krill before the next chapter, but could Jonah-t, please?
It's not too late to get in some whale puns, right? You mentioned kaballah, no take-backs.

I long ago concluded that, while it is possible that I am in fact a giant slug in stationary orbit around Alpha-Centauri, there is no point in considering the possibility.

I guess they weren't REALLY hidden...

Oh fuck yeah!
Quick analysis of the fight:
- Sakura has some interesting genjutsu: she tricked Kiba into thinking a Water Clone was about to hit him (visual genjutsu) and made Shino think his bugs just got borked. I'm not 100% on how the swarm is connected to Shino but it sounds like they share pain to some extent, and Sakura managed to override it. Well done, girl.
- Haru is a Taijutsu-focused Lighting Release user who can apparently use Killing Intent (now that's interesting). Has some control issues but not as bad as other Genin we know *cough*Kiba*cough*.
- The team, overall, is scarily focused on close quarters, but Akane and Haru have some ability to influence farther ranges (Haru has Killing Intent; Akane has Macerators and Hotaru).
- Mari-sensei has apparently been giving Sakura some Genjutsu tips, and I wonder if it'd be at all likely for her to have taught Haru her lighting-on-ninja-wire technique. That would give him some ability with ninja wire and/or traps, which Sakura apparently enjoys.
- We really need to focus on our team's Alertness (prev. Awareness); our team was built with TacMove/Athletics but that's no longer being used for initiative, which is pretty useful.
- Holy fucking shit Akane is strong as balls. 40 base die when Hinata has 32 and Kiba has 24? What the fuck!?
- Shino has 29 die and Haru has the same. Sakura's genjutsu has 29 as well which is bad for her since she can't actually beat anyone with it.
Really want Mari-sensei to teach Haru the lightning-on-ninja-wire jutsu; maybe we could vote that in for the next update?

How did I never notice that Shino is Weaver????
Out of the way Gōketsu, we got the new protagonist right here.
Typo? 'His enemy's hit'?

Rats. I was looking forward to writing the hivemind one. :<
Well, thanks for the correction.

eaglejarl did say in the rolls section that Akane's using numbers from the old system and her totals in the new one will likely be lower. Point about Kiba though, Hinata's the heir to a clan focusing on Taijutsu and is by all accounts very good at it as a result, but Haru has Taijutsu 26 and Kiba was attacking with his best moves so either the Inuzuka have some tricky XP sinks or Kiba's pretty lackluster as far as clan heirs go.

On another note, I think that once we're back to Konoha we should look into getting (civilian) tutors in civil engineering, etc.
Both Hazou and us could use an idea of what things he could improve as far as the civilian lifestyle goes, other than, say, Water Purification seals.

- Yes.
Or maybe he doesn't want to show off his aces to potential Chunin Exam rivals. IIRC Kiba used Soldier Pills to boost his combat skill in canon, and Kiba probably has more than just that.

Is it really in Kiba's nature to be subtle? His aspects and the fact that he fought till he was fairly injured suggest that he went all out. Also team Kurenia jobbed to Team Goketsu. So not surprising that Akane and co smashed them.
