The Foundation puts us in a box.
Strictly speaking, while there is no confirmed eastern continent, there is a large eastern island whose inhabitants could consider the mainland to be "the West".We could alwaysmake the QMs do worldbuildingask after the eastern continent in character.
You know, a lot of things in that chapter read in a very different light these days.
They weren't a genocidal alien empire at the time.Unlike Keiko, may I point out:
Tsk, leaking a teammate's personal information to a genocidal alien empire, for no reason in particular.
Can you just imagine how differently this quest would have turned out if Keiko hadn't listened to her instincts then?You know, a lot of things in that chapter read in a very different light these days.
Please focus your imagination for a moment, and imagine:
Ami and Gai, running through Leaf, using their hands instead of feet, and using their legs to carry their respective students- Hazou and Lee.
Both of the mentors are sparkling with youthful energy, their youthsuits shifting with youthful movement underneath.
Lee is saying something, and Hazou just wonders... are time-travelling seals really such a bad idea?
I think we know the real reason she wants to marry Hazou now.
She saw a fragment of greatness, of YOUTH, within him.
And frankly, she'd look great in a youthsuit.
(I'd actually rather a less humoruous rendition but I'll take what I can get.)
Oh, right, they weren't an empire yet. Correction: genocidal alien nation state.
That sounds pretty badass actually,

"Goketsu Hazo, fastest jutsu slinger west side of Fire Country"
I love it, now we just need a ten gallon hat. We can even fill it full of emergency explosive seals, make it multipurpose.
It's not that we can't use them, it's just the we don't need them to win......also explosives are way more funHaving the "fastest handsigns in the West" title appended to our name would be a great addition.
Maybe your average idiot will hear that and think we actually use jutsu in combat...hahahaha fooled ya, suckers!!!
Also Pangolin Earth Armor gets a pass because it lets us use more explosives.It's not that we can't use them, it's just the we don't need them to win......also explosives are way more fun
Except that was part of a disaster, a mistake!Says the genin who murdered a jounin, destroyed a building, and reshaped the geopolitical landscape with a utility jutsu in combat...
Explosives!"We're going to stage our deaths," Hazou said. "One of the pursuing teams gets here, Pandaa sets off the explosives, the bodies get blown up. The enemy team pauses, shocked. The other team shows up a few seconds later, drawn by the noise. To them it looks like the first team just took us out. The two groups should be jumpy and they should wrangle a bit, giving us time to get away."
Probably happens to Mari all the time. There's a reason they call it social combat.In a couple months by my reckoning, some Chunin punk is going to be very surprised that Hazou rushes towards them mid-combat to give them a hug.
Hmmm. Haven't thought of the physical aspects of social combat much besides body language and whatnot. Terra incognita to be explored!Probably happens to Mari all the time. There's a reason they call it social combat.
Maybe you should ask Ami to give you tips. Better yet, invite her to explore terra incognita with you.Hmmm. Haven't thought of the physical aspects of social combat much besides body language and whatnot. Terra incognita to be explored!
