    I suppose the end goal for dominating the arm is either to convince it that us being the boss is what it wants...or killing it's own chakra off, presuming it has that, leaving our intruding chakra network to take on the role of giving life to and controlling the arm exclusively.

    Assuming chakra of it's own is a thing it has.

    This seems like the most prudent option.

    [X] You need to beat the will behind your new arm into submission, somehow.



    *scene break. MIO is holding up an amanojuku by her brazen arm. The amanojuku is struggling futilely. She pays it no mind.*

    "cmon boy, roll over~ roooll over~"
    [CONFUSION]
    "you like treats right? do it for Mio boy, cmon~"
    [...]
    "you can do it boy, roolll over~!"

    *slowly, ever so slowly, the arm begins to rotate, turning its involuntary passenger upside down*

    "Good Boy!"
    [...is most certainly NOT happy to be praised...]

    Food first so our will isn't degraded. Then a bit of sleep.

    Then we beat the arm into line.

    As problems go, mental contamination is no fucking joke.

    You live in a village with the Yamanaka clan. They do not like to talk about it, but... stuff happens. Compounded with Konoha's generally unobtrusive quiet-type genjutsu users, and... well.

    Strictly speaking, 'I thought I was someone or something else at the time' isn't the most solid of legal defenses, but it's reeeeeal hard to be disproven and generally ends up lightening sentences, if not having them dismissed entirely. Pisses off the clan head and acting police chief something fierce every time someone pulls that one.

    In some cases, for some kinds of crimes, the slick shit has an accident later on. No foul play involved whatsoever. The police do a thorough sweep and give an all-clear and everything. It's just that kind of bad luck that makes people less willing to pull the genjutsu argument unless they have corroborating evidence or witnesses that say they were actually under one.

    That said? When it's actually the case... things get messy. You've heard rumors that there's an entire wing of the torture and interrogation department devoted to protecting Konoha from the risk of Konoha shinobi that have been... tampered with.

    Rumors only. The kind that are laughed at. Because everyone knows that ninjutsu is the way to go, when Genjutsu is so easily detected and broken, good only for use on civilians. Having been on the receiving end of a genjutsu used on mostly civilians to great effect and your own detriment...

    You need to find a place to take care of this.

    Obviously, you can't sit down and try to meditate in the open. Aside from the fact that you're just not very good at it, it leaves you highly visible and unguarded from every direction. You have to find somewhere that is at least a little secure...

    What you find is the great skeleton of some kind of massive winged lizard, easily of a size to be a boss summon.

    That's something for you to think of as well. All in all, you don't want to stay here forever, and there's two ways out of a summon's realm. Walking far enough from their hidden lands for space and nature to bend about you and leave you in the elemental nations proper, or getting sent back by a summon that can do it. That's usually the boss, and maybe one or two others.

    You don't know what might count as the boss of this place, filled with countless different monsters, all eagerly feeding on one another. You aren't sure if there is a boss, or that you want to know what it is if there is one.

    With a grunt, you settle down inside the great skull nestled in the ribcage. No good for proper rest, but sufficient to sit a short while, until the ridges and prongs of bone start to get too bothersome.

    "Okay, you." you address the arm, feeling a sullen and bitter sensation in response. "Listen. Look at me. None of the sass, now, I'm talking. Look." you say, as a spike of indignation echoes through your teeth.

    There's a wet, nasty noise as a line appears in your new wrist and then parts, opening up to show the whirling spin of a blood-red sharingan, tomoe swirling uselessly.

    This just got really uncomfortable, very quickly. It doesn't seem like the arm has any idea what to do with an eye like that, though, except glare. Which is... a good thing? You guess.

    "All right, I'm going to be real honest and admit that I didn't expect you to actually look at me. That said, makes this easier." you say, forcing chakra out of your eyes and into its. This didn't really work on Dummy. But if at first you don't succeed...

    If we can take proper control of this thing, I wonder if we could turn it into our Izanagi bitch

    This one might represent locking down the parts of it which flow into us, while the other might represent...a mental invasion of it?

    I didn't realize this was an option.

    I think for our safety trying to escape by leaving the area is probably safer than facing a demon boss summon. This is way more serious a quest than we first thought. A boss summon, any boss summon, could destroy us utterly with no effort. A demon one is going to be inclined to eat us or screw us over.

    We should just get out of here instead of trying to gain a summon.

    I mean, in canon the summon realms are actually just in normal space.
    You can walk to Myoboku, or Shikotsu forest, or...wherever the fuck the snakes were.

    But yeah, I agree.

    Can we do any write-ins here, Chibi-Reaper - or get a third option made?

    I ask because honestly, I don't feel like either option feels GREAT DEVIL QUEEN MIO enough, to me. Lock it down (don't deal with it really), or follow it's chakra in (sorta imply you think it's legit)?

    Where's the brash and domineeringly childish worldview guided vote of, say, 'Invade the arm with your own chakra and show it who's boss' or 'Smash your chakra into it until it gets that it should be following the GREAT DEVIL QUEEN and giving no lip, because said queen (you) is awesome' or, you know, something equally radical and stilted?

    Assuming this even works, in lieu of a new premade:

    [X] You invade the arm with your own chakra, and make sure it gets that it's now a part - and subordinate - to THE GREAT DEVIL QUEEN that is you, Mio... and that it needs to toe the goddamn line to be part of your awesomeness.

    I really want to see what the arm thinks of a kid's pure-yet-stilted, serious narcissistic belief in themselves, oriented around the nonsense that is Mio's shit.

    That isn't 'follow it's chakra in' but rather 'follow the chakra you're shooting into it'.
    Presumably to directly beat its mind up for lunch money.

    Following along with chakra that is forced in to gain submission =/= forcing chakra in with some sort of specific, grandiosely domineering (in-chara) message.

    The latter is even more... theatrical's not quite the right word, but-

    Or so it reads to me.

    The question I have is this, what vote causes the arm likely to be forced to be cooperative vs Mind raping it?

    I don't have the stomach to subjugate a sentient being, I would rather have it be a partner who could teach us it's demonic fighting secrets.
