"Yeah, that happens with testing new techniques." He bounces a little. "Uh, gotta ask this for security reasons, does the word 'Ootsutsuki' mean anything to you?" He's scanning their emotions, so he should feel if they manifest any ill intent or probably if they lie...

Reon and Phelix shake their heads. And after being translated to Temperance does the same.

They appear to be sincere in not recognizing the word. But after translating to Temperance, Phelix says. "Is that a name? And did you just read our minds?"

" - Yeah, and I can sense the emotions people put off? It's not, like, intrusive, I'm looking at what emotions do to nature chakra."

"... Just wanted to put this fact out there."

"It's a somewhat hostile, but defensive move. At any rate, we are not familiar with the word. To the best of our knowledge, we have never interacted with your world."

" - Huh, people here don't consider it hostile. Just a useful ability. And Ootsutsuki - they're a clan. We've only met one of them. She came from another dimension, nearly destroyed - at least this continent, dunno if she was also aiming for the world."

Nod. "That's sure a reason to fear interworld interlopers. We are not planning to destroy anything.  Our goal is either seek refugee or get out your way as soon as we can."

"We definitely have the space for refugees, and might be able to help with returning to your home dimension, I know there's been a lot of research on getting dimension-hopping of our own."

"Yay| A mutually beneficial trade."

"What is the... state of your world? I got the sense there was a recent revolution?"

"Eh, not really a revolution - the woman I mentioned took out a lot of people, and the samurai started with less, and when alliance talks were happening after the war, shinobi had the bigger bargaining position? Is I think what happened. Currently - we're recovering from getting a lot of cities wiped out. We have plenty of food, but not enough people, especially like farmers and artisans, and there's I think concerns about harvests rotting in the field? The nations are also talking about forming a proper empire, since most places don't have their original leading families anymore, and it'd give us a better position for catching up with the rest of the world. This continent just like a decade and a half ago made contact with other continents, the world's pretty big, and most places have better technology than us."

"Tough... our situation might be conveniently complimentary." Phelix says resting his head on the chin of his hand, which that hand being supported by his arm. His other two arms are being used to propping himself against the ground.

"We have people that should be able to learn new technology faster than you. In our case, the problems started a long time ago with a steady decline in fertility, which affected magical beings first. It wasn't the best of times but only got bad when it started affecting humans and then animals too. Then a few months ago the world was covered in darkness and several people got covered in this black crystalline substance. They proceed to attack and covert everyone else. We lost a lot of people in the first few days. It turns out that the entire thing was orchestrated by powerful magical beings that were imprisoned a long time ago and the entire process was used to empower their release and then suicide. The fertility problem is gone, but most of the population is now mindless shades - the crystal beings - and aside from a few areas the world is still covered in darkness."

" - We might have some people interested in helping with that? Just, trying to fix mindless beings or rescue refugees is a good thing to do with bored soldiers. And, yeah, I can't make promises but we have lots of room. - Are the shades technically still alive."

"Some are. Some starved inside the crystal husks or died in there from other causes. It appears to be random and not affect them externally."

"Thank you, for even just offering."

"I'm asking cause there's this guy with a mass-resurrection technique. It's time limited, but, uh, 'kill and then see if they get brought back normal' might work? To help people?"

...

"It should help. How time limited and how many people can he bring? We have resurrection magic but at best we can get eight people a day with the right power set."

"Three days after someone dies. He can grab - I think about a city's worth? Though there might also be a range limit... And it does kill him, but we have other resurrection magic, which's why this continent isn't empty. He just. Wasn't able to grab hundreds of millions of people in three days, but if we're controlling the rate - and you guys could help put him back each time - "

"Assuming that our resurrection works normally with your kind of magic person, worth testing. Our kind was affected by the infertility thing as well, but appears to be working normally.  Its main restrictions are that not every healer knows how to resurrect people, that they usually need the body and that bringing a person back knocks them out for eight days."

"We can improve upon that last one. Reon and other people have the power to make the tiredness go away in a single day and I can speed up someone's time, so it takes three hours from an outside perspective."

"That's not as fast as we can manage in an emergency, we were flipping it like every few minutes after the war, but if we're strategically going through it should be fine. And that saves us a few kind of - logistics problems? Is I think the word."

"If you have the corpses of people that could do it but have been dead for too long, we could bring them back too." Phelix points out. Then he starts giving Temperance a translation of this conversation.

"Yours doesn't have a time limit?"
