Okay. So I know that we've resolved to spend most of the team's XP on increasing godstat, unless we can find jutsu that are effective at low levels. So to zero in on that idea, what sort of jutsu do y'all think would actually be useful for the team here?
I want to note that we are in a
truly excellent position to gain access to new and powerful jutsu. We potentially have opportunities to learn jutsu from the Pangolin, the enslaved Condors, the Toads, Jairya, anyone Jairya-aligned in Leaf, Hidden Mountain, and of course Hana might have a few good tricks as well. With our new found wealth we could possibly commission a technique hacker to design us custom jutsu (
@charlesrwest, this kind of relates to your question of how we can best leverage our wealth to gain more combat power). Moreover (and honestly one of our biggest advantages)this is one of the bigger things, we are in a fairly good position to trade or arbitrage techniques, jutsu, and/or seals. Bringing Leaf jutsu to HM, or HM jutsu to leaf, Mist jutsu to either and vice versa, we might be able to adapt human realm jutsu so that Pangolins can learn them, ect.
Having the QMs come up with that many jutsu is spoon-prohibitive, but this can be mitigated by creating a wishlist of sorts. Which is why I'm really wanting to focus on this question of "what sort of jutsu would the team benefit from the most?"
Keiko seems like she's pretty set as far as jutsu go, but I'm sure one of y'all could think of something. Noburi would likely benefit the most from learning additional jutsu. Maybe a souped-up version of the "condense water cantrip" that can pull masses of ambient moisture from the air, or something that could do the same but pulling water from the ground instead? Either ranged jutsu or counters to ranged attacks seem like they could be quite useful as well. Hazou I think would benefit most from more sprint type jutsu so that he can close distance, in the context of earth release we should look for something that could let him ride waves of earth or launch himself across distances (like earthbenders from Avatar) or something similar to the
Earth Flow Wave from the anime.
