I appreciate the phrasing here, because even as people with different epistemic models on the situation I can agree with you that staking everything on that is a gamble I'll be happy to avoid making, if possible.
It's really a shame that "the Pure Lands" is the politically correct term now, because "Naraka" is so much easier on the wordcount.
We haven't told Noburi to do that tenketsu research yet, have we? If not, @Shrooms please add a line about asking Noburi to do that and getting an estimated time to completion from him.
I would rather we just ask Asuma to get us a meeting with a high-level technique hacker of his choice, because (a) I'm not sure what our orders are in terms of Minato notes secrecy, and Reo may not be authorized to know about their contents, (b) Reo hasn't actually been learning this for very long and we're going to get more useful information talking to one of Leaf's leading experts, and (c) we have the Hokage's ear, why the hell shouldn't we make use of it to get a meeting with the best of the best?

May as well just ask Asuma directly if those are TH terms or not then tbh
I don't think I really understand what the Tenketsu research is, could you elaborate?
I'm glad it works for you, I tried to keep it neutral if for nothing else than to not bias the pitch to Kagome. I suspect he's going to think bringing Pain back is crazy talk but you never know
I do not believe we have ever seen jounin aura cause Physical Stress, it's all been Mental so I do not believe so. However if they can cause Physical Stress, absolutely.
Hazou's intuition usually relies on being able to reroll a -6, for this update (and until we generate some FP) I think we should switch to SSA w/ no prep explicitly.
Also I would prefer to finish DEs if we're using SSA. But I'm beginning to sound like a broken record in that regard and I won't keep saying it.

I'm back and forth on it myself. I also want Hazou's RB ASAP if for nothing else than to make the other Goketsu harder to assassinate (if indeed they are getting assassinated)
I had 5SB down to get the barrier seal veterancy faster but I'll go ahead and switch it.

Current version
Now that you mention it, I do think we (unfortunately?) need to have another meeting about Necromancy pretty much ASAP.
Bring in everyone we intend to involve in the final stages, sit them down, and present a timeline/deadline, and figure out how to get as strong as possible in that time. Implicitly, we're going to have to involve Naruto in the actual opening process, so we will have him there at a minimum which is already a good chunk of firepower.
Among those questions, I would like to just directly ask Mari if she thinks she can beat any Akatsuki members at this point or how much time she thinks she needs. Also, arrange for people trained up in Summoning and then deploying them to get Scrolls after 3 months of training. Can't dally with getting stronk anymore.
I anticipate Hazō and Kagome may want to have an extended conversation with a technique hacker, and this may not be worth Asuma's time when he can delegate it. Nor do we know whether or not there exists a more skilled hacker whom he would be willing to trust with this. So I say, leave it up to him.
IIRC Kagome said that in order to open the rift, we'll need someone to dilate Naruto's tenketsu, which Tsunade could probably figure out, but if Noburi can do it instead and we don't need her help, it's simpler.

ok i just changed it to asking asuma for the moment to save word count, if he wants to pass us on that's fine

Think we've still got a ways to go before we finish the Bijuu seal....
QMs are shaking and overwrought. Their one true weakness, meetings.
EDIT: At least it's not meetings about meetings. Yet.
QMs this is a warning.

Yes, because threatening the QMs always gets good results. In the immortal words of Jiraiya: say that again. I dare you.

If Sanity Checks aren't enough, then obviously our Meetings About Meetings aren't working... time to have some meetings about those meetings ;>

No it's going to be a meeting about murder! Much more exciting

From discussion in discord, this phrasing would burden Kagome with the knowledge that Ami has specific treasonous plans (and that Hazou isn't acting on them, even if he's not sold on the idea himself). I would suggest a rephrasing along those lines:
- If we let Akatsuki continue, they will resurrect Pein. Could we perma-kill him, or remove his eyes from the equation?
- Purely hypothetically, if we revived Pein ourselves, we could maybe convince him to support Uplift. Thoughts?

I would suggest not explicitly mentioning Kei or Ami at all in the section with Kagome, personally.

In addition to the lines I suggested altering, this is the only other mention of Kei and Ami in the plan:
It could be easily rephrased as something like this:
- Akatsuki is almost certainly also researching the Rift. We'll need to handle them.

If we can safely start 5SB or Force wall with base sealing + kagome help + kagome notes then I'd appreciate it if you add that line in there.
I'm also hesitant about telling Kagome about Treason (rezzing Pein) directly, since he's probably gonna go nuclear if we say that. If we can indirectly say Akatsuki are interested and how to handle them, that would probably be better.
