Agreed on that point; I'm not suggesting we avoid returning to Konoha, I'm just saying we need to be careful not to let our guard down once we get there. Updates tend to happen while I'm asleep, so I wanted to get this out there before it becomes relevant, in case I miss a few important updates.
No, he just 'maintained' it without knowing what he had all that time. He explicitly talks about his space warping techniques as new when he fights Deidara post timeskip. Presumably fighting Itachi is what made him realize he could push his sharingan further.
our mind would eat the Yamanaka, we used it to eat a shoggoth who thought our mind was 'unnatural', god help whichever poor bastard they send in.
Nah, that was a deliberate action on our part. We could probably let them take a look around, maybe play tour guide.
yes but even if that was a deliberate action on our part we ate a SHOGGOTH with our mind, my experience with eldritch creatures beyond the veil (courtesy of many hours spent playing numerous p&p games with friends) is that they tend to linger and that consuming pieces of them either directly or indirectly leads to a myriad of unforeseen changes.
Uh...
Not particularly, given that there are at least some real world people that have had similarly absurd levels of memory retention/information recall due to this or that genetic quirk or atypical neurological event - and those people do not seem to have notably discordant and alien worldviews, dreams, mindsets or synaptical firing trends.
As someone who has actually read the manga, I can tell you with absolute certainty that either someone messed up that wiki article in a fit of trolling, or they just didn't know what they were talking about when they wrote it. It talks about him needing to be up close to use kamui by then, for pity's sake! This despite the fact that the first time he is shown using it against Deidara, it is because of its utility as a long range attack! Canon is pretty explicit that he had never actually used his mangekyo pre-timeskip too, but that right there throws the credibility of the article out the window.
So basically, motivation for us to actually get summons out of this? So we can summon a demon and prove that we weren't just hallucinating or anything? That should also provide pretty solid evidence that we did, in fact, get to where we are by using the summoning technique. Aside from that, Kamui is pretty solidly not a well known sharingan trick. It's a mangekyo technique, and not even one of the three that are well known among the very, VERY few people who even know that the mangekyo is a thing now that the rest of the Uchiha will probably be dead by the time we get back.
No, the Hiraishin is explicitly a space-time jutsu that teleports you around. The whole "Yellow Flash" thing came from the incredible speed the fourth could chain them together with: He tended to scatter dozens of his sealed kunai around the enemy, then chain the technique several times in a second, appearing to be in many places at once. He was both really, really fast at reacting to his new location and really, really fast in general even without his technique, which is why it was so powerful in his hands. The visual effect of the yellow blur is just a video game quirk, and not actually canon as far as I know, though I haven't watched the anime in ages so it might actually be thrown in for the sake of flashiness.
Basically, though it's worth noting Shunshin (and Kawarimi) never establishes the mechanism by which your body is propelled. That is to say, you might be running quickly, 'rocket' propelled by a burst of energy at your feet, or even grabbing your destination with a lasso of energy and then yanking yourself there at high speed (that last one in particular would make sense with Kawarimi, since you leave an object from your destination at your old location).
You are correct. This is why the vote is to use Kawarimi to swap positions with Dummy's stomach acid. (swap into his insides, try to drag out as much acid as you can)
Ah, point. I'd completely forgotten about that. Both of those, actually. So I guess it is a thing we can do.
How large is that pocket dimension anyway? He may assume she just escaped the prison cell and not the dimension itself and be frantically searching for her so she doesn't stink up the place when she decomposes.
I feel like he should have a natural understanding of what is in the dimension, and the only reason he stuck us in the cell was so he didn't have to spend time searching the dimension itself whenever he needed access to us.
