[ ] Plan: Memetic hazards for fun and profit.

Hazou's lessons would be in great demand right now. He could deliver free seminars which unlocked the sealing stunt for anybody who wanted to continue with self-study.

Of course, the seminar on safety protocols would cost a fortune and be invitation-only.
 
I mean, that's why I'm asking for fictional bullshit metals (at least, I hope. If the guy who forged the Seven Swords used meteorite iron or something as a trade secret and that's why they're magic, that will be awkward).

I suppose we could ask Keiko to try to grab us a sample of that lightweight chakra metal stuff from the seventh path and go "This is the stuff I want".

Or to add a point of failure to the guise, just show them one of our Gauntlets and go "This stuff.", but I think thats way too much of a dead giveaway.


The point is that "Obviously not Hazou" is going around asking a couple blacksmiths for a quick job on some armor.

I mean, perhaps we can get someone else to tag along in disguise and do all the talking. That would be fantastic.

This becomes a way better disguise if we could actually get our hands on some of that 7th path metal though to pass off as "Fictional bullshit metal."...
This is the first I remember of chakra metal. What's it do and how is it made?

A slightly more subtle method of killing off all the other ninja who came to the exams than super bansheeing them, but Leaf's people might get caught in the sealing failure cascade too. We're trying not to end the world. Or get assassinated by irritated secret societies of seal masters.

I think technically its "Lightweight metal from the 7th path." and not chakra metal, but the point stands.
If it's something better than steel we should get the formula. It's worth a mega-fortune.

Don't we do have some old chakra steelback spines the team couldn't trade and which are used to fortify metal by soaking them in it?
 
Kotsuzui had been mauled by the twin explosions. His shirt was mostly torn off, his pants were shredded, bruises and abrasions were everywhere, and bits of sand and gravel were embedded in the skin of his back and legs. He was staggering to his feet only with difficulty when Hazō slipped off the clawed gauntlets (mustn't kill the bastard, no matter how tempting) and hit him bare-fisted.

I think pretending to have tanked the explosion with armor isn't going to work, since either Hazous armor jutsu protected his clothes as well (which armor underneath wouldn't), or his clothes got ripped up similarly to Kotsuzuis, in which case people could probably tell Hazou wasn't wearing any armor.

Hazō stood over his fallen foe, chest heaving and ears still ringing from the explosions. He was physically exhausted and battered, low on chakra, covered head-to-toe in blood and sand and grit. More important than all of that, the one final thing he was:

Victorious.

On the other hand, he was covered in a lot of sand and blood, so maybe not.

Fair points. Probably better to do Clan Secrets/ Tanked it through his bloodline bullshit/(Insert Cleverness here).
 
Should this be "literal" rather than "literally"? It's "being a bomb" as a whole that's almost literal, not the ticking specifically.
Fixed, thanks.

We shall soon find out.
You shall? I intend to stretch out the anticipation for as long as I can.

Also, RE tower shield, whatever Kotsuzui was shielded by was flexible and light as opposed to solid and tough, and also didn't get in the way of Hazō hugging him, so I doubt it was of much relevance to blocking the explosion.

Whether it was flexible and light or massively durable is... mostly irrelevant. It was a ninjutsu, and clan ninjutsu at that rate. Whether it looks flexible and light or not, it could still be plenty durable, and it's not like anyone's in a position to debate that point, are they? After all, the one person present who could discuss it is massively concussed. So sad...

I have a liberal defintion of "soon", I suppose.

Bah, I'm sure it'll be fine. Afterall, it's not like anyone is going to test how damaging this is under these exact conditions in the near future. Unless Kotsuzui wants to volunteer himself and we provide the same explosives and one decently combat stressed Hazou. :p


I'm tempted to chalk this up to Keiko and Jiraiya being overly paranoid. Thinking on it, I'm not entirely sure that "Two explosions happen and kid comes out one explosion damaged." leads into "The kid has one of the holy grails of ninja combat." and not "Something ain't right there. Perhaps he did something clever.Did he really get hit by both? Were they explosives? If so, were they standard ones or some Sealmaster bullshit? Maybe he just got lucky?" once you filter it through an Occams Razor/Look Underneath the Underneath perspective, but your mileage may vary.


At the end of the day, its not like it makes us much more of a target than Keiko is for being a Genin with a summoning scroll.
 
It's fine, we can just show off skywalkers and they'll forget all about it.

Then we show off the nukes and they'll forget all about skywalkers.

Because they'll be dead. :p

Alternatively, Noburi strats.

1) "Well, obviously I know some seal-less Space-Time ninjutsu and can dodge explosions point blank with it. "
2)"I used one of my five armor jutsu. Don't worry about me, it was the shittiest one."

5)"You mean you guys don't know what Madara's Minute Meteors actually looks like?"
6) "I made a contract with the demonic beings of the upper levels of the Out to grant me absurd durability and rogueish good looks. Contrary to populr belief, it only cost a few thousand ryo and a couple games of strip poker."
7) "Jashin-sama grants many abilities that some may consider to be unnatural."
8) "I have the technique hacked version of Substitution that allows you to swap with anything within your mass limit. You do the math."
9)"If you're quick enough on the draw you can seal explosives into a special storage seal. Here's a couple you should totally try it."
10) "I came up underground right in the middle of the shockwave. Gotta let your Earth Clones have the spotlight y'know."
11) "I'm the jinchuuriki of the zero tails. Its a completely apt name."
12) "He's lucky I only used the Earth Element version of the Rasengan."
13) "What match? I only just woke up like two hours ago."
14) "I used my S-rank physical transformation technique to absorb some of the shock. "
15) "You're asking a lot of questions about that sealing failure back there, are you trying to get erased from reality?"
16) "I wrap each bodypart with a different summoning scroll. It does wonders to absorb the shock. Also they work great as pillows."
17) "The only damage I took was nerve damage. Luckily, mine are made of Iron."
18) "Explosions? Those were punches. Tsunade is kind of like my Aunt now. "
19)"I can no-sell deadly attacks, but every time I do that I lose one hair permanently. Being bald is a terrible fate so I try not to use it
offen. I mean, just look at Jiraiya's fabulous hair."
20) "My paternal greatgrandfather was actually a dragon, so I don't burn so easily. "
21) "How sure are you that I'm not the Sage's brother wearing a Hazou disguise? Like, really really sure?"
22) "I tricked the shockwave into forgetting about me, but I didn't speak fast enough to get to the other one in time."
23) "Hiding Like a Mole is not the only mole based tunneling jutsu. But damn do I need some practice with the Whac-a-Mole technique."
24) "Explosions? Yes, those are often a side effect of the Hazouken technique. Shame I haven't figured out how to deal with the shockwave fucking with my ears. Most unyouthful, Gai will be disappointed..."
25)"I warned him about the proximity tags. If only he had a split second defensive jutsu like the... well nevermind. It's a Jiraiya special."
26)"I used the Wood Release to block it with some trees but unfortunately they burnt up afterwards. Not too environmentally friendly, I know."
27) "That's just how Captain Kakashi taught me to bake cookies. You should have seen the actual training."

29) "That was just a side effect of the Power of Yourh."
30) "If you think thats cool, I have this jutsu that lets me see whatever I want within a five mile radius. "
31) "While we were missing nin, I had
