Sadly, knowledge of Zabuza's survival was all OOC information, and if Jiraiya realized we used Skywalkers he would have killed us.
Side note: when I typed out killed autocorrect changed it to liked. Wtf.

Sorry, I was just expressing my dislike of his general smugness in a very sarcastic fashion.
I read this fic a while ago where through the power of Shadow Clones + Henge, Naruto was actually 70% of the popultion of the chunin exam that made it to the 3rd event.

On the seemingly very heated Zabuza topic, I feel like this isn't the place or time to approach him. As a sucker for thematic and emotional closure, I'm very keen to interact with him in some manner, but I don't see the game night as an opportunity to do that; rather, it seems like a wild gamble, putting a lot of disparate elements together and hoping they mix to result in awesomeness. It seems very likely to me that Zabuza would see the invitation as a taunt and either ignore it, or come with the intent of ruining the fun. It seems very unlikely that we'd get the kind of wacky and heartwarming hijinks he and Yukino got up to in their interludes. It's just doesn't seem like a good value proposition. The game night is going to be a handful as is, without introducing more wildcards into play.
This might seem hypocritical coming from the head ideologue of the Ami date movement. However, keep in mind that a lot of work was done in planning for the Ami meetings, a rather thorough risk assessment took place, and the resultant plans were, in my opinion, among the tightest this quest has seen. Zabuza, in my opinion, demands a similar level of effort in order to achieve good results. For example, I think asking for an opportunity to have tea with him at his family residence sounds like a much better opening move, and I'd be willing to vote for that.
As is:

@faflec I will say that I rather like @Noumero's section on game night preparation. What's your opinion on including that?

That I would given enough support. I'll add it once I get home tonight, copy + pasting on a phone sucks.

Skywalker capabilities are out of the bag, we don't know if Zabuza knows anything about how exactly Leaf-nin are running on air.
Further, they're only out of the bag to Mist, and with Leaf and Mist teaming up there's still a very real interest in keeping them secret from the likes of Cloud and Rock, who are most likely going to be our enemies in WW4.
But yeah, if everyone knew Skywalkers were a thing, it'd be really fun to cheese the exams with them.

If you think about it that situation could have been faked with the Pangolin scroll alone.
Have Keiko summon both Panjadrum to throw us far into the distance, have Panjandrum dispel himself and have another, lighter Pangolin clean up the marks Panjandrum made before dispelling itself.
Then summon both to the new location and repeat.
Given enough chakra water this is - if tedious and slow - doable.

I was referring to the part where Zabuza found our camp just before we left for Snow.

I support this as well. Also, there's one thing @Noumero didn't mention and I would like to add if its ok with everyone else:
- Make sure you have enough board games, or hire someone to make replicas

I totally support this idea. I personally feel that our best bet to get Hazō on board is to to some variation of I don't have to like her to use her
He doesn't have to like her, but I would like Hazō to give the new generation a chance, because they weren't involved in the whole thing. Plus, being taught to hate Hazō is not their fault.

Dealing with Zabuza is a lot like dealing with Ami.
There's her fun and hilarious meme self, which we think of when making the decision to approach her.
Then there's reality, where it's a raving mad jonin that you willingly put yourself in close proximity of.
And Ami, unlike Zabuza, is family. Keiko's family, but dear family.
And every time we speak with Ami, it's like doing drugs- great if overwhelming at first, with a terrible hangover after.
I don't think it'll be even this fun with the guy whose sole mission was to kill us.

Both plans have been updated to include brainstorming for game night. Word count is getting bigger, please post suggestions for decreasing said word count if you have ideas.

I kinda have the opposite
It may have sense to ask Hana to show her aura since we'll be on topic. We have too little information regarding it, so every bit counts
