Understanding Does Not Presage Peace - Chapter 24

One more chapter after this one, and this story

Comments

The anami already serve that function, but yes, it's certainly something to think about since he isn't going to give everyone both.

Sebastian Pop

It would be even better if he can encode a very specific ‘antibody response’ in his new Tree of Life which will destroy and/or assimilate the Otsutsuki’s parasitic network when they come into contact. The Otsutsuki are ever so fond of absorbing other people’s flesh and chakra that you should take advantage of this back door they keep opening into their own system.

All the reverse engineering and refinements happened in heaven. Everyone got exactly what they needed, and individual modificcations happened on the fly because anchorite eye + parallell processing. Yes, it's all hardcoded now too, though you're right, I overlooked it, so I'll have to edit the chapter to mention that.

Great Chapter! Some thoughts: You mixed up Fourth Shinobi war with Third world war, a prospect in our world, quiet possibly. And this happened a couple times in previous chapters too, especially in the chapters at the beginning of the Obito decapitation strike. I really want to see what is going on with Nagato Uzumaki, and a meeting of him with Hanzo, as that is one Uzumaki reunion that is missing. And maybe a bit more of how the anami cells transmute the parasitic chakra network in the kids into the Tree of life network in this chapter, as Hanzo had to work it out for the Third and not for the Juugo clan and the other orphan kids, how that happened would be good to know. And when Hanzo reverse engineered and improved on the parasitic chakra network, he wanted to encrypt the Tree of life network so that no Ootsutsuki can get their hands on this network to improve their own ill-works. Has he done that till now, before handing it out to others, if not that is a pretty significant weakness and info leak for the future. Looking forward to the tech introduction and innovation to everyday life for the Shinobi world and also the general Shinobi and civilian reaction to the paper on the overall impact of Shinobi on the world. Hopefully all this would be tackled and the epilogue sufficiently satisfying :)

I think I read that one, or some of it. I think I got tired of all the personality dilution in the hive mind humans. Genetic memory does make for some rather unfortunate implications indeed, though, relative to self-actualisation. Or even having a self of your own to begin with.

Happy to hear, also as always.

Great chapter as always

You might be interested in Perchance to Dream by Drich. TLDR: there’s a race of space cuttlefish with mind control powers. They mind control all other races in the Galaxy and are generally maliciously incompetent. This is because they also use mind control to ‘raise their young’ and with their arrogance and megalomania they end up dead-ending their entire race’s mentality. They are literally incapable of mental growth because they built their entire civilization around round robin mind control with a completely inflexible mental framework. I could see the Otsutsuki doing this exact same thing to themselves lol.

First time I hear about Demons of Frieren, but they sound pretty on point for this story.

Sebastian Pop

Hanzo building his Pantheon lol The surprise of the Otsutsuki when they arrive in that world and are faced with literally better versions of everything they have. Also, the Otsutsuki you portray give me the same vibes as the Demons of Frieren. Humanoid beasts aping at being human, not very well either. They also seem to embody the failings of evolution, reaching the point of being ‘good enough’ and stopping, which is what the Shinju is, it’s self destructiveness is totally unnecessary and cancerous.

It comes from my favorite anime, the Manhattan Project. Specifically fissile material testing where the goal was essentially to edge the criticality of a plutonium core. They accidentally pushed it over the edge twice.

Also, good business.

Sebastian Pop

I don't know what anime that is from, but I'll take it as a compliment.

Sebastian Pop

Woo! Nice denouement! Now all that’s left is the epilogue, in which Hanzo does his definitely-not-punch-wizardry on the Bijuu.

Judah Frankel

Thank you for sticking with the story for so long.

*STOMP STOMP STOMP* "HEY SHITASS!!" *slaps together the chackra version of demon core* "FUCK YOUUUUU"

“How would you all like to be adopted?” So close and yet so far, Namikaze Naruto screamed in horror. 🤣😍🤣😍🤣 Thank you for the amazing chapter!
