Maybe a line for "Joyful births" when we're founding the religion, to make sure we don't paperclip optimizer ourselves

[X] Action Plan: Embrace Your Inner Snuncle Warcrimes
Words: tbd
Words: tbd
- People are idiots, we need space.
- Write a letter, telling Asuma you're going to be working on the Bijuu Seal Chain, that one Barrier seal of his, and some other seals for the Dragonwar for a few weeks. Politely ask that nothing happens that we would need to be interrupted for.
- Write a letter to Ami, tell her we're going to be working on some seals. She knows which. Ask her to run interference with Mari so that we're not disturbed. She doesn't have to work with Mari, just coordinate well enough that they don't interfere with each other.
- Make Noburi temporary clan head. We need a break from bullshit politics.
Maybe he can persuade Jin and Mio that bomb-ass jutsu (such as the S-rank armor jutsu that would let them scale towards jonin builds, and the FREE PYRAMID SUPPORT lootboxes) are worth sharing their secrets amongst their literal chosen family. They're trying to hoard secrets, just like they bitch about Clans doing. They Clans do this, they knew it would be asked of them. Bah. - Tell Kei she can toss us in a caldera later, but right now, we have Sealing to do. Don't disturb us.
- Lock ourselves in a Kagome Approved Research Facility and churn out seals for a few weeks.
- Minato seal chain
- Asuma's Barrier Seal
- Other seals

Wow this is like an Any% Speedrun to disaster.
Maybe this is simply an elaborate ploy to get everyone going Missing Nin again as it becomes impossible to juggle the innumerable flaming bowling pins spread across several hundred updates, so that a vote finally, for once, ends up being a plan that involves Face-Punching?

The event is probably within lore update territory, since it wouldn't give away any actionable information you don't already have, but on the other hand it wouldn't be easy to write something impactful enough to match Yuno's recollection.Noooo we didn't get to see that meeting in-person.
Maybe she'll recount it to us if we ask!
"Don't worry guys, I'm neither a sincere worshipper or a puppet of the slaughtergod. We can talk about that later, though, now I have to isolate myself with my sealing notes from three Kage and two Sannin and work on sealing projects!"
Imo this is a good next move, don't get me wrong, but if we don't do some reassuring first this kinda looks like Jashinite!Hazo or Crazy!Hazo running off to build a horrifying sealing creation.

Unlikely, imo. Ami works with full-fledged power systems, and works best when she can introduce her favour economy to the rank and file ninja of the power system. By building up a good impression with dozens of ninja and having most of them indebted to her for one reason or another, she can line up the dominoes to make the various ninja coordinate where they weren't coordinating.
Ami would need to go to Demon or wherever Hidan keeps his Jashin cult and ingratiate herself into their circles one by one before she could bind their collective power to her will and unseat the titan at the head of the cult. Here in Leaf, she would find Hidan quite untouchable, at least when it comes to her bread and butter strategy that made her famous.
(Plus, I don't think Hidan really cares all that much about having his cult behind him. If they all spontaneously renounced Jashinism one day he'd just slaughter them all and go on his merry way praising Jashin as a wandering murderhobo.)

@Velorien @Paperclipped How hard are these (without notes)?
For the record we already know Instant Darkness Dome is Chuunin, Earth Pillar is Genin, and City of Pillars is Chuunin.
We do not yet know what Electrocution, Substitution, or Twin Repulsion difficulty from what I can tell.
@Paperclipped @Velorien @eaglejarl since we've already made an infusion roll on Air Tunnel seals, can Hazou estimate its difficultly compared to DEs and MS7? Roughly the same?

may want to link to what Air Tunnels are
I can't find the write up of the actual seal. But IIRC it's a modified implosion seal that stores air continuously instead of all at once.
EDIT: To avoid double posting,
Dampener Seal - Similar to 5SB in that when activated, this seal somewhat specially locks the object to which it is applied, albeit weakly. This has the effect of smoothing out vibrations (like from human hands) in a similar fashion to IRL surgery robots. When applied to the proper tool - chisel for Carving, inkbrush for Calligraphy, scalpel for Mednin, etc. It applies a bonus of +Creator's Sealing AB to the relevant skill. Each seal lasts for "a few hours" on the time ladder. Users need to buy a Stunt (20 XP) to get the bonus, each Craftsmanship skill needs a copy of the stunt. I.e. if you have the Stunt for Calligraphy you'd still need to buy it for Carving.

My original idea was a Tunneler's Friend variant, the comparison to the Implosion Seal was purely in a "can this much air be stored" kind of way.

...hmm we probably shouldn't have him read the notes til he's not stagnating...
Hell yeah! Yuno needs more hugs. We need more nephews.
I'd vote enthusiastically for Yuno-Hazou (YuZou?HaNo?) missions (perhaps as an interlude?). Also, is Yuno strong enough to become a hunter-nin? She'd love that, and if we can help make that happen she might forgive some of our lack of "devotion".
Is this plan implying we should stop FOOMing for a few weeks?

Ayyyy, Yuno focused chapters!
Nobby, please be a good husband in this regard...
Nothing wrong with those murderous impulses, Yuno, especially in your setting. Ganbare!
This is already a perfect line to read standalone, and it's honestly even better with the whole context of Yuno's usual speech patterns, and based on who's talking to who. Especially because I can imagine her saying this while being perfectly earnest.
I was a bit worried when I read Hazoupilot's instinctive reaction to Yuno because I was worried the players might take their cue from Hazoupilot, but I'm glad to see I'm wrong there.
The blank face reaction to him saying GTFO is certainly not good, but until we see more reaction from her I wouldn't necessarily assume alienation.
I'm neutral on Hazoupilot's reaction since he can react however he wants and I love him too even though I don't agree with his reactions. However, I greatly appreciate you and your support and kind words for Yuno that you posted after. High five!
Cults are very interesting to me for personal reasons, therefore I'm highly interested to see where this goes. Very nice chapter!
Noburi might not understand this, but I wonder if he at least acknowledges this or knows intellectually that this is how Yuno feels?

I'm immediately quite skeptical, but alright, I guess we'll see. Depends on what Jashin's teachings are, I suppose.
Ah, my poor girl. Outcasted in Isan, so she tried to invest herself in a Will of Fire mentality? And then felt like it didn't work because she felt like a fraud doing it? That's rough.
I see...
LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Yeesh Hazoupilot, don't be an asshole to Yuno of all people. You know how sensitive she is to thinking "I fucked up understanding people again". I guess he's understandably stressed as some people pointed out, and his brain was primed for anti-Jashin mode, though.

Unironically, I would be okay with not FOOMing for a while if it meant we could knock out a very large amount of seals in a very short amount of time.

Hidan would make for a better Uncle than Snek Uncle.
Also I have a feeling Ami might convert to Jashinism just to mess with Hazō. She'd go all out by making cultist garb and being cult-sisters with Yuno.
Ami is pragmatic, I could see her thinking that since she's fine with murdering people anyways, she might as well get divine favor out of it.

Note: I am not rejecting this out of hand, especially as 1) we can't afford to dawdle any longer on Necromancy 2) with the new Stagnancy mechanics, this is a good moment to pause FOOM and reevaluate our options
Still, a few weeks is a long time. Total isolation is not a good idea, I believe. We may want to have daily check-ins during our breaks or something, just to make sure nothing catastrophic is unfolding.
...she would presumably try to convert all of KEI with her. Damn. I like this. The Hagoromo would foam at the mouth so much they'd drown on it, too. Perfect assassination plan!
