Nah, I'm down for it. Make the quest maximally fun for me and @Velorien in exchange for your characters getting more powerful so they can engage on a larger stage and be more badass? Oh, no! Please don't throw me in that briar patch, Mr Fox!
Much like "sealing failure", "hubris" is a coward's word.
It's just happy little sealing accidents
Spontaneous generation of vast volumes of invaluable novel research data by way of unexpected high-entropy emergent chakra dynamics resulting from suboptimal levels of cognitive focus expended on a given test unit by the optimization process assigned to it.
It's a CK-Class Ontological Failure Event, you like events don't you? It's practically a party!
Luckily, we have an angle, thanks to the very existential threat that we most need the power-up against.
Maybe phrase it as "…but does the Yamanaka have any techniques that they would be conceivably be willing to trade that would increase the user's willpower or bolster a mind against physics attacks?"
That seems viable but for one small part:
Only Akane though, not Ino, never Ino, Ino doesn't rate. Somehow, I don't think saying that in front of her is going to improve our chances of getting into the Yamanaka's clan secrets.
Also, there's an upper limit to how much we can realistically condense the story (and thus a limit to our XP density). We'd probably end up just having the story be a bit tighter (IU-timewise) on average and a bit more fun for you guys.
We do it in two steps. We just need to first vote in a fluffy scene of gathering memories of the both of them, or even of Ino specifically since we have plenty of Akane. Deploy the memories the next time we visit the Dragons, then return to Go and collect
Bullshit. Just because I have an ambient antimemetic field which would make Cassandra giggle doesn't mean
There's even a convenient thing to simultaneously do with the Akane/Ino scene. Since it's a new year and we have new adoption slots (including lots from the Amori), we could start scouting out Sakura. I think she's both Ino's old friend if the QMs hewed close to canon, and was formerly on a team with Akane and Haru, so both the members of our polycule could have good input on her as an option.
Also it gives Haru a peer he feels like he can bitch about Hazou to without worrying about Clan shit

"It's like I made you in a computer."
Before I brought it up last week, the last time that balloons were mentioned was July of last year, not counting the last time I asked around about it in November 2020. No one else was thinking about it. I'm also not counting all the times after that you mention balloons in your weapon designs since you never described how to make the balloons with our current knowledge or suggested that we develop them.
With no disrespect intended to you or @Lailoken, please don't go down this road, you two. It can lead nowhere good.
How did I miss that? It's amazing.
Screw that. Nothing says that multiple LSBs can't be applied to the same seal. Design a rocket or LSB with appropriate delay, layer them in sequence, and you've got a ballistic rock-hopper. Way faster than a hovercraft or WiGE and nothing says that FSBs can't be applied to humans, so suddenly out of a blue sky boom, military division in your midst fully charged and ready to fight half a second after the over-the-horizon rocket artillery arrives.
I wonder if an XP bounty would motivate someone to remake the Screaming in Kagome extension.
Fair enough.
I know, right? I wanna try to make that now.
As soon as we have words to spare, I want to test out weird applications of 5SB. We can try stacking them on the same object, protecting seals with it, protecting 5SB support seals with 5Sb, and activating it on living things.
I really don't want Hazou pulling a clan technique from Ino under false pretenses, even if it is an OOC one.
