Buzzy stuff will in fact push the leaf away if he tries to forcefully move buzzy stuff outside of his skin. Gently pushing the buzzy stuff past his skin makes the leaf stick.

"Huh, it's almost the same motion to do either, just varies how hard I'm doing it."

"Yes. I have some theories as to why that is, but testing them is somewhat hard."

"Oh?"

"They mostly have to do with complicated interactions between a person's chakra and the low level of chakra inanimate objects contain."

"Hm. Maybe I'll look up experiments on that later if any have been done."

"I'd be interested in the outcomes of any."

"I'll keep you posted." Leaf sticky! Leaf repelled! "Wonder if this is like magnets in any interesting ways."

"I didn't have much time to experiment with those. Perhaps I should."

Cam offers him a pair of magnets.

He smiles and takes them.

"Though for now I should prioritize the upcoming missions."

"Legit. This is the problem with demons, we can make stuff very casually. Hell is very tacky."

"I suspect I would end up with my own planet's worth of experiments very quickly."

"You get kicked out of the nicer neighborhoods for that kind of thing! But yes, things were improved when we had space travel proper as opposed to 'make air around yourself and flap' or 'spray water behind you'."

"I could set up an experimental neighborhood."

"I am also adding 'space travel' to my list of things to research. Eventually. Especially since it might combine interestingly with the Flying Thunder God technique."

"Which one's that?"

"The movement technique Minato has been using. My version is slower, but allows more free-form movement. His relies on setting two inscribed techniques, like lightning rods, and moving one to the other very quickly."

"Ooh, I wonder if he just actually travels at the speed of light, or possibly of lightning in the relevant medium."

"He isn't currently; there's not enough distance to accelerate, and it's difficult to compensate for relativistic speeds in an atmosphere without setting everything on fire. But a larger version of the technique could very easily move things at close to light speed, and I could likely incorporate space-folding and summoning to make it effectively faster..."

"Ooh, space-folding. How does summoning play into it?"

"Summon's realms likely aren't located somewhere you could just fly to. They're not fully other dimensions, more of - little folds off of this one. A contract allows the holder to pull summons through to this realm, and the summons to pull the summoner through to their realm. Technically, if you have two summoners, you can teleport one to the other by passing them through the summons' realm first. I have a theory you could accomplish something similar without the necessity of a shared contract..."

"Huh! That would be neat."

"It would probably be the best technique to adapt for actual interdimensional travel, but it would take me longer than light-speed travel for continuous space."

"Interdimensional travel would open at least five cans of worms but it would be very cool."

"I can imagine it being a security nightmare in many ways, yes."
