Marked for Death: A Rational Naruto Quest

Reader mode
A war college if I understand it correctly, trains senior military officers in strategic thought.

So, think of jonin going to school so they can understand the "big picture".

Im not sufficiently convinced Jonin would spend time on learning things in a University style format (an *extremely* inefficient way to actually learn anything) as opposed to pulling rank and accessing whatever theyd like to learn about from Leafs library.
 
You know, I just realized something from looking at the map that really should have been obvious to me earlier. The Kanashii ocean and circular land masses around it are a giant impact crater, aren't they?

Edit: Or maybe not an impact but some other absolutely enormous explosion.

I kinda figured it as 'what even is geography let's just draw fun shapes for our landmasses' but that works too.

I'm pretty sure that they're just part of a particularly circular tectonic edge. They look like they're sort of a parallel with Kamchatka/Aleutians/Alaska.
 
I vaguely remember it being asked what shape Hazō thought his world was, but I don't remember the answer, if we got one. (It was probably asked around the first rebalancing/telescope craze?)

Given that they have a moon, and I feel like I remember references to it being in different phases, that is close enough for me, a MfD player, to guess that Hazō lives in a solar system with base principles resembling something like ours.

Has Hazō put any thought to the topology of his world? Is there "common knowledge" that "the world is flat/spherical/non-euclidian"?

E: would a flat plane of a world have tectonic activity?

E2: would a flat world without tectonic activity be devoid of mountains?

That depends. Did the Sage want mountains?
 
MfD world sounds a lot like a Star trek episode:

- Alien idiots come down to primitive world and try to help, give primitive culture super advanced tech (either on purpose or by accident), everything goes to shit.

- Federation figures it out, stops idiot aliens from 'fixing' things.

- Now watch out that primitives don't self-destruct because of super tech but ignores them beyond this.

The lack of votes is due to a lack of instructions, and the last few votes often stating no vote was needed. @Velorien, I would just write that other interlude about the breakup reactions that tied last time.

The world hasn't ended yet, and my understanding of sealing failures is that it really, really, should have. A single self replicating sealing failure is a village ending attack, and more importantly is obviously a village ending attack. An insane amount of resources would be dedicated to weaponizing this in secret.

The fact that we don't see self replicating sealing failures either means that self replicating seals are impossible to so much as get started on even with a century of village level resources, or that anyone who tries is stopped. Or that the Watchers have done something to make even Kage too scared to cross them, even when they think the survival of their village might be on the line.

Perhaps your understanding of sealing failures is incorrect. Putting side whether a "self-replicating failures" is even possible, an effort to create a village-destroying seal isn't a failure. It's a success. You've successfully created a seal that does what you want it to, which is create a reliable massively destructive effect that you can be sure will do what you want it to, as opposed to having a very mild effect or possibly no effect at all.

Really, I have yet to see anyone walk through how to logically weaponize sealing failures anyway. Keeping in mind that these failures are by their nature, impossible to reproduce. Even if you do exactly the same thing as you did the first time to recreate a failure, you get a different result.

We know it is. Because A) seals can do anything, and B) Kagome's Sealing instructor was killed by one.

Kagome-sensei nodded distantly. "Died right before I made chūnin. Decades of perfect sealing research, then one day he forgets to turn on the dispersion seal before experimenting, and bam! Self-replicating crystals everywhere. Oh, we got rid of them in time – damn things turned out to be weak to fire – but they drained all the moisture in your body if they touched you, and he'd been right in the epicentre…"

I believe that what you're quoting is just a self-replicating sealing failure effect, which is superficially similar to but distinct from a self-replicating sealing failure. A self-replicating sealing failure is a sealing failure which creates more different sealing failures, instead of merely reproducing itself. It doesn't just create more crystals, but also e. g. opens ten different rifts to Out, erases paperclips, kills all thirteen-year-olds, fires off a RKV in a random direction, and pets a kitten on the other side of the world, and that's just in the first ten minutes.

SRSF-effect is just a universe-ending threat; SRSF is omniverse-ending.

What are the chances that multiverse-destroying seal failures have happened before, and whatever equivalent of God simply hard-rewrote reality to get rid of it?

So far, we've been using "self-replicating failure" to refer to a seal failure with a self-replicating effect, and "failure cascade" to refer to a failure that causes additional failures.
