It's in the form of a contiguous structure composed of relatively narrow lines, not a solid mass, meaning that its area is much larger than its volume. It covered the entire top of the butte, which was an approximate circle of approximately 50m diameter unless @faflec disagrees. The maximum depth was about 10m.
Thanks for adding. I think this is probably the best way to handle it because Tsunade is touchy about what deserves her immediate attention. If it was Hazo showing up asking for a meeting she might get prissy that Hazo is making assumptions about what she should consider important. Sending a messenger puts the ball in her court about whether it's something she wants to handle immediately or defer but also gets us points because we notified her as soon as we knew about the opportunity.
I would imagine that different rocks have different textures that are difficult to make similar enough for the use of making a seal.
Can we not make the model a section at a time?
It's continuous, so, maybe? I don't know how this jutsu interacts with trying to fuse stone together if we assemble it in pieces, or how much a piecemeal replica would affect analysis. We could give it a try though.
The following may be of relevance:
The impression I got was that it was made of distinct elements, the same way that a seal isn't a single uninterrupted brushstroke. If it has two 'strokes', then 29 should be fine. We can do it one stroke at a time.
I honestly don't think Kagome is going to know much more than us. The only reason we can even suspect which elements matter is because the Iron Nerve downloaded them
The sealmasters collectively figured out what the Great Seal did...sorta. I'd be surprised if he had zero insight, but there's gonna be a lot of shrugging and speculation.
Velorien specified just up above that it's a single contiguous structure. If we want to replicate it life-size in multiple segments, we'll have to tackle the problem of fitting two halves back together.
Couldn't we just use the earthshaping jutsu on the seam to join them? We wouldn't need to affect the whole structure for that. @eaglejarl @Velorien how much control do we have over the affected earth? Are we limited to saturating a cube, or can we do a more complex shape?
That sounds plausible, yes, but we don't know for sure.
I believe but can not find hazou later telling haru it's ok to not tell hazou, but to report everything to akane
Give the General Staff a Competence Score, then give the problems they do a set difficulty each, modified by plans, appropriate/wrong mindsets, etc. Roll as needed to resolve events as they occur. Done!
Also make these rolls public via the forum dice roller. It makes things much easier to accept as 'the cost of doing business' if we can see the shitty roll. Oh, and it's great fun when we get a shitty roll and then can gossip and speculate what exactly will fuck up.
