We should take a vow to never kill another person again.

This is how we get the academy students eaten by tentacles.
Kagome is, if anything, not cautious enough, given that we have word-of-QM that seal failure can destroy the world.

What Faflec said. The course isn't intended for them to be long term care, just for preventable deaths.
e: Even something simple like "painkiller-through-medical ninjutsu" would be enough: Henge is freakin' magic, so if you could just keep someone conscious long enough to henge, they'd be able to get to SOMEONE competent.

On the other hand, I would approve of "get one point of Sealing, do not purchase the Sealsmith stunt".
Point, I suppose. Though it would be nice to have an idea what result you need on a Medical Knowledge roll in order to turn a "slowly killing you" aspect into one that represents a stable, treated wound that can begin healing.

Which is why it's all the more important to have Kagome teach the sealing track himself!
Also, while a sealing failure can destroy the world, according to Jiraiya, sealing failures on mundane and well-understood seals tend to be relatively mundane as well. So no world-ending from a trainee infusing a party light seal.

- Yes.
"Ha!" said Kagome. "If I ever say yes to that question, check me for Henge, because it's not me."

You know, if sealing is going to be the cornerstone of our uplift efforts, then we do need more sealmasters. Civilian-usable seals, for example, don't do much if the existing sealmasters are at capacity making explosive tags and storage seals for their village. At most they're another toy for the rich and powerful.

I'm sure we can convince him. I mean, he would have said that about joining Team Uplift to start, and then about staying in Mountain, and then about joining Leaf...
e: The real trouble is going to be getting him to open up to his Yamanaka therapist so he can actually get cleared for teaching kids
As much as I agree... I think we need to find a protocol for safely teaching sealing students before we even think about doing it. And giving a sealing track in the academy is the opposite of safe. Maybe we should consult Kagome on designing a safety-optimised Sealing curriculum?
- Location
- Yes.
Kagome: Oh that's easy.
Hazou: Alright, how do we do it?
Kagome: You don't.
- Location

Well, Kagome taught Hazou, a fresh Genin with no sealing experience, quite a bit in just a few months, while adhering to his own safety standards. We're not going to teach academy students how to make explosive tags here. I'd imagine the course would start with a combination of pure theory and practical demonstrations of Kagome-approved safety features, and only later move on to students scribing and infusing the most basic practice seals under direct supervision.
Really, the most important and potentially dangerous problem would be impressing upon them just how dangerous sealing is. We'd need some excessively draconic punishments for breaking any of the safety rules, starting with immediate expulsion. Kids can be really reckless.

Starting with expulsion? How about starting with being used as the pointer in a Wheel of Fortune for what your sealing failure does?

I mean, assuming they survive. And the punishment is intended for the ones who succeed. If a student kills themself with a failure, then that's a good lesson for the rest of the class. If they ignore protocol and succeed via dumb luck, that's much more dangerous.

The important thing with sealing is to have a curriculum. Just have a series of seals to teach our novices till they reach competency. Then just make sure they work in Kagome quality labs and always have a senior ninja on hand.
Edit:Basically do thing the exact opposite of how Hazō did it

And now I am laughing at the image of Kagome screaming at a bunch of terrified kids on how sealing is gonna melt your face off if you're lucky.
I'm a horrible person and it's so fucking funny...

Sounds like a good way to go about it honestly.

Practical benefits aside, we should make it happen just to let the QMs write a series of sidestories about this.
I bet you it would be worth good XP.
But really a lot of the reason this stuff isn't taught at the ninja Academy is that the Academy is ninja grade school, not ninja college. You graduate at age twelve. Even give the "live fast, die young" lifestyle most twelve year olds (or rather, children younger than 12) probably don't do great with things requiring great patience and restraint.
What you really want is not to change the Academy curriculum, but to have various ninja secondary schools where ninjas can come back and continue their education after they have a little seasoning... maybe age 14 or so. That's where you teach sealing.

It's certainly an idea worth discussing with Jiraiya and Tsunade. I'd imagine there are a number of ninja who can't really handle the lifestyle who'd like an alternative like medicine or sealcraft to go into.
- Location
- Potato land
The reason we were talking about the academy was that we wanted to create an alternative for students who couldn't graduate and would normally drop out, but could still become medics or sealmasters if given the opportunity.
Perhaps what is needed is a completely different education path for chakra users, but that would be a revolutionary change. Adding more tracks to the academy (let's say they'd act as preparation for more specialized education in the future) is probably a lot easier for Jiraiya and the council to swallow.

Yep. That's how the civilian-usable LBFs work -- just with a switch.
