I think you'd need to make a contract with the rift denizens for that one.

(@Roomba , you can be the boss summon of our contract if you want. Maybe we can have it rotate on a monthly basis just so that its not too much of a pain?)

The Roomba summoning contract, when you just really need to cleanse the world of filth and trash. To usher in a new age of order and cleanliness and perfect forward planning. Ah, I can see it now in my mind's eye...

Chakra magic? I'm not sure how else to answer this.

Ultimately, sure. But there's some sort of mechanism it's using to do that which could be any of lots of options. It might let the user see things remotely in their mind's eye, or sense the chakra of living beings to locate them, or sense vibrations in the ground or through the air. Stuff like that.

You know, we could make an interesting long term project out of studying the summoning contracts with the aim of reproducing them or at least learning how to travel between worlds if we wanted. We're in a likely unique position, having two contracts that we can do comparative analysis with. Learning about how they work might also indirectly teach us some things about the history/origins of sealing which could be interesting.

Binding the rift things with a summoning contract might even be possible.

I'm not sure what the deal is here?

Mechanically it rolls Min(Jutsu Level, Sensory Jutsu Level) if you are using a sensory jutsu to see the guy. I think Cari was asking "Could we replace sensory jutsu with 'Decent Sensory Seal', potentially?" at the end of the day anyway.

This makes sense, since you should be hamstrung on the lesser of the two in any roll here.

In the case where youre using an earth jutsu to sense the person, well maybe its less difficult to shape earth chakra for this jutsu if you already have earth chakra out in the ground? Seems reasonable.

I dont see why this has anything to do with Spine of the Earth doing sensory magic bullshit on its own.

Alright. I'm unclear on what Spine of the Earth actually does.

*mind goes off on a tangent*
*something something Keiko something something True Heroine*
*thinks about Keiko throwing spears*
*thinks about Keiko throwing exploding spears*

ME: Hmm, Brain, is there a way we can create a sheath for a spear that pre-arms explosive tags attached to it, with LBFs?

BRAIN: I recall this was tried with civilian sealtech before? Would be hard to align the LBFs with current tech.

ME: What if we use hinges and panels on the side of the sheath, with Alarm seals to prevent unwaranted detonation happening suddenly?

BRAIN: Yeah that should work. Here you go:

Constructing MfDWeaponDesign231.mem

ME: Thanks.
 
Hey @faflec (or anyone else with exceptional memory), how many people were there in Hidden Mountain, and what % were ninja?

e: scratch this question, I figured it out from the Player Database doc: 100 people, 80% ninja.

What's the best part of making jokes about Hot Springs shibobi?
They never get old.

I like my humor like I like my adversaries...
Well done.

What did the Kozu say to the prostitute?
Keep the tip.

Don't be silly, Hyuuga, you're as bright as the sun and just as painful to look at.

I have a running theory that all sealing is the result of derivatives of examining summoning contracts...
 
Well, if we get Sealing up to a ridiculously high amount we might be able to solve the mysteries of the Summoning Contracts.

Chiefly, we should figure out what part of their super duper sealing array gives them the "Armor Class: Invulnerable" condition.
 
It's a real shame Minato died. He was the genius of geniuses.

Unknown, but they are obviously far, far beyond the capabilities of anybody in recorded history.

There are two problems with that that bug me though.

One, obviously they didn't just spontaneously appear, somebody made them. And they appear to be custom made for this world with its connection to the summoned path, so they probably didn't get imported from another more advanced universe somehow.

Two, while it's a common trope in fantasy (and sometimes even science fiction) for there to be wizened ancients with knowledge far beyond modern humanity, technology doesn't actually work that way. It starts out terrible and gets more and more sophisticated over time as people improve on it incrementally. There had to have been some well established tradition of sealmasters working on R&D for centuries to advance the art enough to make something way beyond what modern sealmasters can accomplish. And that's the sort of thing that's hard to hide. That sort of sealtech would have vast societal impacts.

So here are two hypotheses to explain the summon contracts' existence.

One, a highly advanced sealing tradition did exist at some point in the past and some sort of massive sealing failure wiped the knowledge out of existence, along with all the advanced seals and whatever technology relied on them, leaving only the summon contracts. Perhaps because the contracts bridge two worlds their design rendered them resistant to a cataclysm that only affected one of those worlds.

Two, the summon contracts come from a highly advanced sealing tradition that created them in the future, and then deliberately sent them back in time because sealing was invented by figuring out how the summon contracts work and the future seal masters realized what had happened and that they had to close the loop to preserve history and their own existence.

Incidentally, this would neatly explain any invulnerability; the contracts need to continue to exist so they can be reverse engineered and recreated to be sent back. Their future existence has already happened so it can't be undone.

Maybe one of the future seal masters is future Hazou, if he figures out how the summon contracts work and how to make more and how to manipulate time besides. You never know.

Can anyone think of any other explanations?
