Quote:True, dat - and even more so, to be one of the dozens of worlds where the Good Guys won victories by adding their army-of-one, which having our Freindly Neighborhood Sealmaster Man whip up a mass-dispel for the audience would certainly be in line with. I suppose I'll just have to see if it looks like it will work as the time draws nearer.
Isn't that the point?

ETA: I think I'll probably go for it, unless things turn out much different thamn I expected. Serenity will use one of her own original jutsu, rather poetically named "Full Moon Shines Through the Gate," the final, most powerful in a series of non-element ninjutsu referencing the moon, and which she used to crack open a fortress in the Stone war. It takes almost a minute to pull off, requiring 108 seals and enough chakra that the user is actually lifted into the air in the middle of a ball of chakra similar to a full-sphere Kaiten. The sphere is disrupted and turning into one enormous beam of energy when the user blows a (chakra laden) kiss, and in fact sounds like a vastly-amplified kiss as it travels with the squeak of channeled chakra and then pops with a crash of inrushing air as large amounts of the target cease to exist.
While Auntie was asked to be Usagi's summoned elder because she'd had the largest reserves in clan history at that time, she originally died of chakra exhaustion after performing it... but Usagi, genin for a year, will not quite pass out, since Auntie will immediately cancel the summon and release the unused summoning chakra back to her. She'll be done for that battle, though, and need a few days to recover fully.
ETA2: Just decided, gonna do it, because I also came up wth a way to have an out if I decide I want Cockroachimaru again later - as a little hint, Sarutobi-sama is one of the very, very few non-clan members to have been offered the possibility of becoming a Tsukino elder-summon... and he accepted... and the contract was already drawn up shortly after he first retired, though it remains inactive while the subject remains alive. (His encyclopedic knowledge of jutsu from foreign countries as well as Fire was deemed too valuable to entrust only to written records, when as an elder summon he could demonstrate them directly.)
Oh, and using an elder summon doesn't change the user's appearance, unles they also perform a henge... and that just spawned a sudden side-thgouht - why wouldn't genin going through growth spurts and hence clumsy just use henge to turn into themselves as tey're accustoimed to being? I suppose it's just too difficult to hold in combat or if they need to do another jutsu, and by the time they've advanced enoguh to do so with ease they're usually at their full growth.
- CDThat which does not kill us... has made its last mistake.
