Actually, that's pretty clever. It makes sense that the spymaster who was in charge during the Uchiha Massacre would recognize the similarities between the Iron Nerve and the Sharingan.

Jiraiya and Oro both knew about the connection, we just don't know how both figured it out.
Sasuke/Uchiha clan didn't know that the Kurosawa still brought sharingan kids into the world:
Maybe after this Note Jiraiya asked/figured it out?
Obviously Oro just cut some people up.

Well, if Jiraiya was able to deduct the superficial similarities between the Iron Nerve and the Sharingan (such as the information processing aspect), he could find out. I mean, Jiraiya was The Spymaster(tm), so I think he could've had one of his agents in Mist find an outcast Kurosawa, or steal/copy some of the clan's research notes.
Orochimaru probably found a Kurosawa ninja, grabbed them, and then used SCIENCE to find out.
(Edit: or maybe he had one of his minions grab the Kurosawa ninja in question)

Are you implying that Jiraiya wouldn't know the meaning of something as important as Category 44 off by heart?

Um... maybe?
(Obviously this means Category 44 refers to Orochimaru)
I wonder if we could get a specific killbox named after us. Just dedication plaque or similar. Something tasteful. We should ask T&I if there's some benefit fund we could donate to.
"We are happy to announce that tickets are on sale for the annual T&I widows and orphans fund drive dance this weekend. You really don't want miss it! Really."

Rereading old chapters. Might need to mention this to Asuma again. With manpower low, the human messenger system has to be in disarray.

PSA: Kagome and Akane have finished decoding Jiraiya's notes.
He's grumbling about how it's a rush job and he wasn't given enough time to properly write up the analytics on each of the ciphers or detailed logs of the attacks he used to break them and potential ways to defeat those attacks much less provide a proper index or cross-references but fine whatever here's your stinking pile of paperwork and he hopes you're happy now where's the stinking chocolate because he's grumpy and there better be some stinking ginger in it.

Y'know, as long as we're tempting fate, we've also been developing how to corner the markets in ice, salt, fire-goat milk, and chocolate. We might as well advertise the opening of the Stone Cold Creamery and see how Leaf reacts to the introduction of ice cream while throwing middle fingers at the sky. Kagome's ginger-root beer floats would be legend.

Kagome continues to be a dear ^.^
What should we do with our two newly-freed friends? Personally, I want Akane to resume her training with Tsunade and for Kagome to do some research on some of the various seals that we have info on (daybright, the strobelight, and the Anti-Hyuuga seals).

With Akane also getting to SC 30 with this training plan, we should update her SOP to a FOOM training plan. Gimme a few and I'll cobble together something with Paperclipped's flexible base SOP.

If you'll write it up, I'll vote for it.

[X] Shadow Clone SOP: Akane FOOM
Since this is taking place between vote close and the chapter dropping, I figure I'll just let it run and see if there's any support/objections by the time the update drops, and figure out what to do from there.
edit: forgot that ties go to the attacker and the Resolve check counts as an attack against you, and so we need to beat, not tie, the DC. Updated accordingly (now Resolve - 12 instead of Resolve - 11)
- Dedicate all clones to training.
- Maximum clone-hours = Resolve - 12, with the following modifiers:
- -3 if beneath Resolve 20, +3 if above Resolve 40, +6 if above Resolve 80.
- +3 at SC 40 and every 10 levels thereafter.
- Resulting tolerance: safe on -6 FD or better, only a Mild on -9 or -12.
- Maximum training blocks = floor(max hours/3)
- Any excess hours are free for any use.
- Number of clones = training blocks
- At SC 40+, ceil(training blocks/3)
- Cap number of clones at personal chakra capacity if extra reserves not available.
- (Distribution method for additional chakra left undefined until object situation can be assessed)
- On the day before any important event (for which a Mild Consequence would be undesirable), reduce clone-hours by six to eliminate any chance of taking a Consequence.
- In the case of modifications to effective Resolve (such as a Consequence), use effective Resolve instead of base Resolve.
- If there is no Mild Consequence open, reduce clone-hours by six to eliminate any chance of taking a higher-level Consequence.
- eff Resolve 21, SC 30, 300 Chakra.
- Max clone-hours: 9 --> 3 blocks
- Max clones from chakra: 5
- Therefore, 3 clones every day, directed to train.

Reminder, Jiraiya left some sort of advanced genjutsu seal voice activated by Hazou's specific name which even Kagome is astonished by the sophistication and doesn't recognize all the operating principles of. Gee, sounds like a treasure map...

Are you talking about this one?:
If so, this what Kagome-sensei specifically said:

- Yes.

It sounds like the seal will create Jiraiya's voice saying some message. Dunno what the message is, but I guess that's why he made it super easy to learn, so we could find out.
A possibility that it's also sound-activated and we really do need to say the whole thing, but I feel like a seal with an actual sound based trigger would be harder to learn. It would be pretty funny though.
That would be it. If nothing else, it'd be nice to hack it to another trigger and develop a pseudo-jounin aura, but boy, does that sound like a steganographic message from the world's greatest spymaster and sealmaster specifically addressed to his sealmaster son. It might be wise to help Kagome reanalyze it with the possibility in mind that it may be some sort of encrypted text, image, map etc.
The extraneous elements might also just spontaneously produce a pie to the face upon infusion. Because Jiraiya.
