YOU HAVE DEFEATED HAGOROMO RITSUO. HAGOROMO RITSUO DROPS LEGENDARY SHURIKEN SET x 1.

HAZŌ: But... he was a specialist ninjutsu user.

LOOT IS ROLLED RANDOMLY ON THE BOSS LOOT TABLE.

HAZŌ: But... the Gōketsu champions were a sealmaster, a ninjutsu user, and a taijutsu fighter. None of us use shuriken.

LOOT IS ROLLED RANDOMLY ON THE BOSS LOOT TABLE.

HAZŌ: But... Keiko is the only one who can use this, and she wasn't even fighting.

I FAIL TO SEE THE--I MEAN, LOOT IS ROLLED RANDOMLY ON THE BOSS LOOT TABLE.

HAZŌ: Am I going to have to file a bug report over this?

FINE. HAGOROMO RITSUO ALSO DROPS 10,000,000 RYŌ.

HAZŌ: Sweet!

THAT'S 10,000,000 HIDDEN ROCK RYŌ.

HAZŌ: Oh, you have got to be...

Alright, let's start doing Economics!Quest and cripple Rock using the 10 million Rock ryo as our start-up. Any ideas?

You are born with the Isekaijin Bloodline Limit, which allows you to travel to other planes of existence, beyond the Paths, without the need for sealing failures.

Unfortunately, none of these planes of existence have chakra, and you die within 24 hours of entering them as your body is unable to replenish its basic life force.

Can we come back to the EN when we want? Max-24-hour trips to other universes doesn't sound like a bad deal to me. We just need to find our way to a universe where you unlock the powers quickly and train them up on your own time, and then when we come back to the EN we've got another universe's powerset at our side!

Maybe say something to the effect of "In light of my newly-made pact with Keiko, I've begun to set time aside for family bonding time, to reaffirm familial connections and to interact on a personal level --with the topics of discussion being as serious or as casual as each party is comfortable with. Snowflake, as my new sister, you're also my family and I would like to get to know you beyond our shared connection with Keiko. So, please tell me, what's on your mind?"

This states our intentions via CCnJ and also puts the conversational power in Snowflake's hands. If she's comfortable, she can vent about the uneven power dynamics between Keiko and herself, she can confess her complex feelings about individuality, or Snowflake can talk about something as innocent as the weather.

I know it's an icebreaker or starter for more interaction, but I was thinking if we shouldn't do more leg-work on the side if things go smoothly with your idea.

Since we've been exploring identity vs Frozen Skein's influence on said person, I wonder if our feud with the Hagoromo should take into account that Keiko is a very unique case of multiple beings in one body and that her relationships are uncharted territory as an exception.

I think if we established that Keiko and Shadow-Clones are two truly different beings in one body and not just clones, It would give the conservatives an out.

I've been wondering if there was a concept in Mfd of the Multiple-Souls and if that could be squared with the Will of Fire. We'd probably have to do some digging to see any historical cases and also convince Keiko if this is an avenue she feels comfortable exploring.

Thoughts?

This is tricky because we'd have to deal with identity not always matching up with gender, sex, and Frozen Skein's characteristics. And it's probably a mix of religious and legal arguments.

In theory that could work, assuming you could find powers that didn't rely on being a natural resident of that world (e.g. inborn mana or spiritual power), and could be taught despite the language barrier.

Of course, your body would not be guaranteed to have any resistance to the alien disease spirits of another world, nor the natives' bodies to yours.

Hm, just means we need to be a medic nin.
 
[X] Action Plan: Keeping on Top of Sealmaster Things

Spend the evening talking to Kagome about which seals he might be okay sharing with Asuma and which sealing projects he'd like to research in the future, as well as asking after anything he's been tinkering on recently before the world went to hell.

How are his students coming along?

Ask him about the viability of the following research projects:

1)Bigger storage seals (of varying sizes and volumes).
2) Storage seals that unseal in some predefined spatial location that isn't "immediately in front of the seal".
3) Macerators with smaller storage capacity but drastically increased firing velocity.

Ask him if there are any space-time related (or more broadly: anything related to space-time, dimensionalism, or what have you) seals or research notes in Jiraiya's library that he noticed. If so, go peruse them.

So, Keiko continues to avoid public presentation, especially in front of the medic-nin who might notice a... difference.

"Hey, the Tarrasque sheet doesn't say that it has water-breathing."

Hey, what's the worst that could happen?

Kinda feel like we should be doing more against the Hag, or maybe with Yuno's wedding... but I'm short on spoons, my mental health is in the toilet, and a chapter with some Kagome-Hazou family bonding time sounds like a wholesome cup of paranoia-flavored hot coco that would really hit the spot right now.

Low-spoons but should probably vote for something
[X] Action Plan: Keeping on Top of Sealmaster Things

Could you perhaps expand 'space-time seals' to include general dimensionalism? It's just as on-topic, and casting a broader net give the QMs more room to be creative when figuring out what J might've made in his illustrious career.

Sure.

Though I will note that under any reasonable definitions of the two, space-time seals should be a subset of the broader category of "things that muck about with the fabric of reality, dimensionally-speaking".

It sounds like you're looking for an exposition dump slash free shinies. Is this correct?

Could I suggest the rephrasing of: "Research the following seals with Kagome's approval:" if that's what you're intending to do. Otherwise... this is very much a "talk about things" update.
