"Before you go, Summoner," Cannai said, "I do want to commend you. The Dragons are the Seventh Path's problem first and foremost, but you dedicate yourself to fixing it, all while shouldering your clan's burdens simultaneously. It is not an easy task, but it is a task fit for a hero. That you need to undertake it so young is a tragedy, and that you are able to walk around as if you've had worse days is an achievement in its own right. Do not despair, Hazō. You will have the strength to overcome these burdens and rise beyond them, in time. Until that day comes, know that you continue to have my deepest gratitude for the work you've done to try to save my Path."

FINALLY some goddamn gratitude! Fuck it feels good. You are WELCOME Cannai! Just you! Not the rest of them. We will save the Seventh Path just for our Best Boi. The rest of them can go get roasted.

Does the jutsu still feel like it yearns to do more?

Finally, Hazō can now produce the Great Seal material.

Is it infusable? Suitable to make Primordial Seals out of? Answered in update - No it's not

Hazō thinks he actually may have skirted fairly close to sealing failure if an uncanny luck hadn't been on his side.

Praise Jashin. We continue to live, thanks be to Him.

[x][Aburame] Spend 4 days per month making telescopes. (+200% production)
[x][Hyūga] Finalize the deal: Hazō will provide them with all gemstones of their choice, in exchange for a massive income stream. Hazō will need to do some missions as a result.

[X]Training Plan: Hazou Alertness 33 -> 37 (-142XP)
 
[X] Things I Like
  • Length <= 10 days.
  • Ask Noburi if Ma and Pa can teach Hazo TH.
    • Needed to decipher more of Minato's notes.
    • Could help rescue Jirayia from the Pure Lands.
    • Could help Naruto if anything ever happens with his seal.
    • If they remain unconvinced, take up Asuma's offer and begin learning TH from a Leaf ninja.
  • Encourage Sasha to surrender control of her sheet to ROTP.
  • Ask Cannai if there are combat missions Hazo can take in Dog lands once he's recovered from sealing.
  • Go directly through Asuma to take up bandit extermination missions when available.
  • Sealing
    • Prime SSA: MS8 Latching derivative.
    • SC SSA: Reusable Rocket Boots
      • Six uses.
      • Boost bonus, then additional uses until challenges stagnation.
    • Non-SSA SC: Dampener seal. Substitution seal. All the genin Isan seals.

We shouldn't use all of our XP on leveling alertness, only that which we had before we unlocked PS, if we're going to do so.

Finally, Mari notes that the Minami will be offended if Hazō makes any deal with the Hyūga – but the Minami aren't close allies anyway, and getting the Hyūga's alliance builds an important bond with Leaf's conservative bloc.

Does Mari think we can divert some cash their way to soften the blow? Basically a bribe so they aren't too mad at us. We can invest in their business or throw them some softball contracts etc.

Like with the Yamanaka deal, Hazō is free to request things other than money.

What does everyone think of buying their help investigating the Rift. Their jounin was really useful for the first visit.

Dampener: Without 5SB, Hazō has no reference of "spatial locking" to try to adapt here. However, he could try to make the brush simply resist motion, increasing its inertia. While sealmasters already use correctly weighted brushes (heavy enough to resist hand tremors, light enough to maximize precision), Hazō tries to design a seal that would cause the attached object to very lightly resist motion – reducing hand tremors while minimizing loss of precision for seal elements. This would allow him to use a lighter brush and be slightly more precise. The difficulty of this seal is "genin".

Does Hazou think that learning 5SB would allow him to improve the Dampener into a version that allows a bigger bonus?
EDIT: as @Twinnstars pointed out in Discord (thank you!) Skywalkers are spatially locked and Hazou has researched them. Can he incorporate a bit of that for a bigger bonus?

I answered this on Discord but I'm going to answer in thread too for the benefit of everyone. @Paperclipped asked us to spend at least 115 XP on things that were not PS, so that we couldn't insta-buy the Stunt with Audit XP. As I understand it his reasoning is that it's not simulationist - we need time to accumulate XP to invest in PS.

My training plan spends the minimum that can be spent on Alt. Three levels is just 105 XP.

Hm. Two levels and a Callig level would get us to 112...

[X] Training Plan Hazou: A touch of callig
Alertness 33 -> 35 (69 XP)
Callig 42 -> 43 (112 XP)
 
Guys Hazō only got 70 xp from the audit. We have 171. Can we please only spend the audit xp on non Earth Infusion stuff? We need 125 for earth infusion. That's in sight next update if we don't empty our cache.

Ooh, also need to figure out next seal research line! Did not expect to get done with ms8 here!

Edit: discord shenanigans! The 115 xp comes from xp that Hazō has earned since discovering the stunt, as a generous replacement to a requirement of several months to learn the stunt normally.

[X] Action Plan: Bonding, Cold Seals, and Medical Notes
Words: <300
Timeline: Bandit clearing + 1 research cycle
  • With Noburi, go directly to Asuma directly and take a couple bandit clearing missions.
    • Summon low-cost Dogs for tracking
    • Talk with Nobs during the mission
      • Would Arachnid Silk Bandages be an improvement on regular bandages? If so, donate a bunch. We can take a temporary loss on the Silk Trade.
      • Would you be willing to take a break from the Hospital to read both lootboxes? Do you currently have enough time to read one set of notes? (If so: Mednin)
      • Can you begin researching the teketsu opening surgery?
        • Suggest experimenting on common Chakra beasts
  • Harumitsu
    • Hang out, discuss Sealing theory, enjoy company. Ask after his welfare
    • Trade for Harumitsu's Cold Seal.
      • (Internally): It's useful, we have ideas, he's a solid sealmaster. Wider Tech base means more veterancy. More veterancy means more safety. More safety means more survivability.
    • Offer:
      • Firework Seal and Bubble Seal.
      • If Ritsuo demands more, include Daybright Instructional Chain
    • Remind Harumitsu we care, to use full prep, and that we'll always help him out if he needs it (Sealing or otherwise), politics be damned.
      • Be circumspect about the "or otherwise" if Ritsuo's present.
  • Offscreen
    • Mari gave the Tower some ninjutsu. Ask her to contribute those to the Goketsu Vault.
    • Encourage Sasha to surrender control of her sheet to Hazou.
    • Begin learning THing [link to chapter where Asuma says the Tower would pay for it]
    • Noburi
      • Test to see if storing an item sterilizes it (Spirits are sorta alive?)
  • Sealing
    • SC SSA: MS8 Latching derivative.
    • Prime SSA: Reusable Rocket Boots
      • Six uses.
      • Boost bonus, then additional uses until challenges stagnation.
    • Non-SSA SC: Dampener seal. Cold seal.
      • Abort any seal if it seems difficult at all, do not risk sealing failures
    • Goketsu sealmasters learn Jiraiya and Isan's genin seals to add to the Goketsu toolkit. Mandate full research prep.

Could we please get these seals moved/added to the "List of seals Hazō can make" section of the known seals document? Also Skywalkers, but I can't find the quote for when that happened.

That document also shows Hazō as knowing Rocket Boots, which I'm fairly sure we don't actually know yet.

Edit:
Found these too.

Discord, but Paper mentioned that Yuno and Akane brought home a handful of seals from that one Cloud MW lightning user that Hazō got a look at (and maybe keep as research material?).

Bumping this, now updated with the latest learned seals.
