[x] Action Plan: A Necromantic Aura
- Consult Kagome on the idea of creating a rift to the afterlife and rescuing Jiraiya.
- Hazou has personally been to the afterlife.
- We know the site of the previous rift.
- We can hire hackers to craft a special paired jutsu like Arikada's Edo Tensei had, if that makes it easier.
- We could work upwards from a rift 1mm wide that closes after a second.
- You may not get an aura right away, but there may be some things you can do to speed the process up.
- Meditate on the burns Mari gave you. Feel where in your being that they lie. Focus on these surfaces.
- You've tasted multiple auras. Think of identity along their associative metaphorical logic.
- Mari = Flames
- Orochimaru = Vivisection
- Ami = Ice
- Jiraiya = Inferno of Damned Souls
- Zabuza = Biting Demon
- Hiruzen = Grandfather
- Asuma = Bonfire
- Itachi = Grinding Bloody Wheels
- Keiko(?) = Frozen Mirrors
- Haru(?) = Chained Raging Animal
- Hazou = ???
- What are the core elements of your identity that wouldn't be common to most other people?
- Uplift (drive to improve the situation instead of merely preventing it from getting worse, everyone gets saved; no exceptions)
- The Thing (sudden flashes of insight, inconsistent strategic brilliance with a risk of catastrophic miscalculation)
- List-maker (high effort to catalogue your ideas, plan things out, and create contingencies)
- Innovator (love of problem-solving and invention, turning things upside down)
- Let your mind wander. What forms do these concepts coalesce to?
- Remember in Asuma's office, when you met his gaze and refused to back down on protecting Leaf. Forget the argument itself, and dredge up that feeling of determination that even the lord hokage was not allowed to argue with. Remember also, when you told Keiko to choose whether she was on Team Uplift, or whether she had abandoned it for the Nara, and your anger "physically pushed at her".
- Having done the above, unchain your soul.

I've never been very enthralled by them, but now that I know the authors enjoy it, maybe I'll go out of my way to do it

I had considered that as well but figured the simpler explanation would be to Akane do it herself instead of involving another, seperate party.
I mean, not that it matters in the grand scheme of things anyway.

This:
IV was talking about prepping the ground for Project Necromancy by normalising the idea with people, mostly outside of the Clan. Asking Kagome will just result in a lot of screaming.
Also, I don't think contemplating one's nature is a way to get the aura. I'd wager we will get it naturally by growing strong, and losing things and people we care about, just like all other jōnins.

I for one am perfectly okay with not having to go to Isan
Dealing with politics crossed with dealing with Isan customs sounds tedious af
- Location
- Yes.
There is an extremely simple solution to avoiding Isan which takes minimum effort on our part.

No need to fret. Pangolins are central figures in their religion. Doesn't Keiko have a Pangolin that directly spoke with their previous summoner?

[X] Hubris and Greed:
Also, by the time you're jonin you've probably got a good enough life expectancy that the cost-benefit analysis changes.
What if we ask Asuma to make a course on how to grieve properly a requirement for becoming jonin? Along with having the Yamanaka Jutsu? If we're lucky we could give new jonin better mental stability, and thus make Leaf a more stable place.

Actually not the case, suprisingly. The typical Jounin dies within a couple years of getting promoted, and most die within 5 years. Exceptions exist, but your typical Jounin faces the spectre of death just as much as Chuunin and Genin.

Fork of MadScientist's plan, heavy edits but maintains the general thrust of a Kagome necromancy conversation and the aura meditation. Also includes a necromancy chat with Ino and a reactive armor suggestion for Kagome.

[X] Action Plan: Reaching Past the Veil
- Ask Kagome if anyone's ever intentionally made a dimensional rift.
- We know not to replicate sealing failures, but surely rifts can theoretically be made the normal way?
- Which Path would be the easiest (safe) target?
- Also, idea. If you make a pressure-sensitive seal that activates another seal, you can improve your directional explosives to reactive armor that automatically blasts whoever hits them!
- Lunch with Ino
- Start with a casual talk about Edo Tensei, and how it'd be great if it was real.
- We think that one day it just might be. People have returned from the dead twice this year, so it's not impossible.
- We're nowhere near ready to try, yet, and we're not asking for anything, but this quest concerns everyone, and we wanted to keep you in the loop.
- Meditate on what your aura might be.
- Remember the burns Mari gave you. Feel where in your being that they lie. Focus on these surfaces.
- You've tasted more auras than most. True selves imposed on the world. Compare them with the personalities of their owners. What shapes an aura?
- What makes you you? What defines Hazou, what sets him apart?
- Uplift, certainly, but more than that. There's our love of lists, our understanding of the Paint, our brilliant insights, our earnest mistakes, our family, old and new, and so much more.
- Hold onto those thoughts. What forms do these concepts coalesce to?
- Remember in Asuma's office, when you met his gaze and refused to back down. Forget the argument itself, and dredge up that determination that even the Hokage was not allowed to argue with. Remember also, when you told Keiko to choose whether or not she had abandoned Team Uplift for the Nara, and your anger "physically pushed at her".
