Tie it to a Boo Seal, so that when someone triggers it, they hear Jiraiya's voice as they're attacked

How the hell would Yuno have known myths about the Sanin?
We should really try asking her about them, but now's probably... a bad time.
For people that were so isolated they didn't know med-nin were real, these are weirdly accurate descriptions.
It might be from reports from someone that stumbled onto Isan during WW3 and was captured? then the myths got distorted through the Isanese lens("Asura" and whatnot). this might also be where they heard of med-nin?
bah, two many strings to pull. this is but one more.
Also, Hazou should make some time for/with Yuno now, while she's in crisis. We're counting on her to join team uplift when we go missing, we need to start bond-building, not just fobing her off on Nouburi.

@Left-Hand Mutant Isan knew about the Sannin before we even visited.
yes?
"Yuno/Isan has myths about the sanin that aren't directly from us/leaf, isn't that kinda weird/surprising?" was the main content of my post.
I'm not sure what you're trying to add here.

Was replying to this.
unless I'm really confused, WW3 happened before the start of MFD. the Sanin would have been in the fullness of their power, and this was the war Minato cut his teeth on.

Oh! My bad. I mixed up WWIII and WWIV.
Plan fragment: Shadow optimization
Kei: Are any of your Nara jutsu fast enough to use defensively when ambushed?
- If yes, will they last for the whole combat?
- Hopefully it's okay to ask, since we'll see them in combat eventually
@eaglejarl @Velorien @Paperclipped
Since this is pretty light on details about optimizing this process, I have a couple questions about it.
1) Does Hazou think Noburi could drain a bunch of these crabs at once via misterator or are they too dangerous to approach that way?
2) What's so labor intensive about the harvesting process? Does Hazou think we could run the crabs through a macerator to get a slurry and burn the fleshy parts off?
Rather than say, butchering them individually and crushing the shells, which sounds like a lot of work.
3) I would naively expect that we couldn't use ES to purify the burned crab ore cuz it's about as removed from organic material as charcoal, but does Hazou think there's potential there?

Can't be just drain them through, you know, the lake?
I assume that getting in the same Zone as a bunch of giant angry crabs when they can just swim over and pinch you is pretty dangerous yeah.

if the shells are chakra-rich, might be problems with sticking them in storage seals.

I kinda like the idea of him being 30 meters away just draining them at the bottom of the lake.
Chakra metal should be fine to stick in a storage seal, runic substrate is fine to stick in a storage seal.
It's conductive, but not chakra containing.

I needed to think of Noburi as a gender-bent aqua today, thanks.

May get electrified if the crabs have lightning attacks but if they're pincer-only this should be okay, 5SB cage should be enoughI kinda like the idea of him being 30 meters away just draining them at the bottom of the lake.
Yeah, that's why I was asking about it. If they have ranged attacks this is probably not gonna cut it.
We can always try to bait them through a skyslicer w/ clones.

Even if the process is something more complicated, could try getting local civilians to do it by paying them with crab meat, temporary use of force walls for cutting, and various less-directly-relevant uplift services.
Nope, I am highly opposed to doing anything that interacts with people who could then leak our presence to local ninja, nobles, and/or Akatsuki. Unless you want to kill them afterwards, I suppose.

Is crab meat actually... good? Crab was widely regarded as a bad food before it became popular in modern times. I'm not sure how much of that is just a matter of supply and demand vs appreciable changes in how its cooked and how fresh it is, but... I imagine it doesn't keep well. Also macerated crab is going to be finely mixed with bits of shell.

Meat from anything notoriously hard to kill is likely to be considered a prestigious delicacy if it's even remotely edible. Hiring civilians to do most of the work the old fashioned way would presumably mean handing them live but incapacitated (via vampiric dew) or very recently slain, mostly-intact crabs, rather than mulching whole carcasses with macerator seals. Storage seals could be used to circumvent freshness issues, or just coordinate quantity and timing of deliveries such that it can be absorbed by existing mundane food-handling infrastructure.
Even if it's not particularly good meat, any sort of protein-rich food tends to be a useful bargaining chip when dealing with preindustrial subsistence-level folks.

Aside from Akane, the OG Uplift Team are from Mist, and have expressed a longing for seafood dishes. I imagine crab meat was one of the staples of their diet.
