[X] Make contact with the paltry ninja force in the Land of Birds, they're the ones who are supposed to be replacing the regime after all. Though this will take the most amount of time, perhaps it will lead to the most stability.
The mission isn't so time sensitive that we can't afford this. Being careful now, means more benefits in the long term.
Maybe some tourism while we are there? It could be our cover, while meeting those contacts. If others ask, we can say we're writing a book or something.

fun fact: the day job of many historical ninja was Samurai, because especially for the lower ranking Samurai their bosses often were like "yeah you're also gonna be an assassin have fun fucker."
I'm using that as cover if anyone asks Tsubaki. Especially if it makes her acting look bad.

Tsubaki: "I'm an ornithologist, I'm here to study the birds."
Random Land of Birds Guard: "Oh yeah? We have a lot of birds here in Bird Country. Which birds are you studying?"
Tsubaki: "... The brown ones."
This automatic vote closing/tallying thing really isn't that great huh?

Campaign 1: Mission 1: Liaison
Scars of battle still mark the little village close to the center of the Land of Birds where most of (half a hundred, maybe five dozen) the tiny nation's ninja forces are now based. The mission briefing you had read mentioned that Iwa had completely destroyed their old headquarters, a fort nearer to the capital, during the invasion. They must have been attacked in their new base when Iwa had pulled out.
Picking out the least-dilapidated route into town, you enter the little village along the road.
"State who you're with. Now."
The voice belongs to a female, somewhat high but husky. Accompanying it is the point of a kunai pressed into the side of your neck.
A quick glance out of the corner of your eyes is all you need to size her up. Not much larger than you, dressed in a tan flak jacket with three wide flaps fastened on it over a mesh shirt, with a bandage wrapped securely around her right arm and a mask over her face, half white and half green, divided with a jagged line. On her mask's forehead are three triangles in a line. You can't recognize the flak jacket or the forehead protector symbol offhand.
You shoot your hand up, imperceptible to the untrained eye, twist the kunai out of her grasp with your middle and pointer fingers, catch it on your thumb, and fling it past the side of her head with enough force to cut a line in her mask.
"Relax," you say with force. "If I was here to kill you, this village wouldn't be half-destroyed."
She freezes when you lock eyes with her.
"Now then, take me to your commander."
"He can take you to him himself," the apparently leader appears at the end of the road, clad in a dark green, ridged flak jacket over a pair of red pants with a forehead protector bearing three lightning bolts(?) worn as a badge over the left breast. He's somewhat tall with spiky dark brown hair, light skin, black eyes, and most noticeably red markings covering his face. Perhaps you need to brush up on your politics because that's another forehead protector you don't recognize.
The report mentioned the Land of Birds' ninjas were a mixed mercenary force, but you hadn't imagined it was this bad.
"Please stop scaring my subordinates and step into my office, if you don't mind."
You follow him into a house near the center of town, untouched by the recent conflict.
"Considering that display of your nimble fingers and killing intent I don't suppose you're any sort of courier?" He jokes, standing across a squat table from you, a pair of sofas on either side of it. Neither of you are sitting down. "You could have sent one you know," he says after you don't reply for a good few seconds, "the Daimyo's men patrol the roads, but all the ninja in the country report to me, and they would have no reason to stop one from Amegakure."
"You received a messenger," you reply curtly, lazily eyeing the room, taking note of the two ninja posted outside the front door, one of which is the same girl who so poorly ambushed you, "a courier would be unnecessary."
"Right, the newt," he retrieves a tiny scroll from a pocket of his flak jacket, the even tinier thread around it is undone. "I suppose introductions and a briefing are in order then. My name is Nosui, and I'm the Commander of the Land of Birds' Ninja Forces. We were recently devastated during Iwagakure's invasion, as you know. We were never numerous before, but our manpower is dangerously low. Still w-"
You can't help but cut him off. "How low is "dangerously low"?" There are sixty of you here, at most, how many more are there in the Land of Birds?"
The Commander exhales heavily through his nose, "Your estimation is right, myself included, there are fifty-seven ninja here right now." He stops, but before you can interrupt again, steels himself and continues. "We represent more than half of the Land of Birds' ninja manpower, there are a hundred and one of us left. That's in fighting condition, more survived the Invasion, but for your purposes I'm sure they don't count." You shake your head at that, he's correct. "The Daimyo has just over five-hundred men at his disposal right now, his own forces' losses were almost as heavy as ours, not to mention they're almost all civilian soldiers."
"Almost?"
"When the Daimyo hired me, he also hired two samurai to train his army. One of them left before the war started, but the other is the head of his household guard. Any type of coup would have to go through him."
Letting your gaze lazily loll around the room again, you delay your response. "You're a special jounin, right? You're more than a chunin to have been hired in the capacity you were. Or you lied and are a very duplicitous chunin, but I doubt you would have been able to survive Iwa's invasion in that case."
"I'm a full jounin," he says, not even concealing the frustration in his tone.
"What passes for one in the western-" you stake your bet in relation to the Land of Bird's location "-end of nowhere you come from. My point is, why not eliminate the Daimyo and his pet samurai yourself? Either way it happens, you taking power after the country's power structure is dismantled doesn't look legitimate."
Naturally you know the right answer, but hearing the one behind the coup actually say it would be reassuring.
"Should the Daimyo's court get wiped out by an outside force, if my ninja and I are the ones to stabilize the country, asking for Lord Hanzo's protection would look completely reasonable and sufficiently legitimate," he grins, you're really unsure of how you feel about that cavalier attitude. "But you knew that. Or at least I hope you did, cause I don't feel like giving a kid a lecture on real-world politics, or the Land of Night for that matter." He jams a thumb towards the forehead protector badge on his chest, "that's where I come from, by the way."
"You know the Land of Birds better than I do, how do you propose I go about the coup?" There are a few ideas in your head, mostly involving loud and messy, or at least quiet yet bloody, ways of resolving the mission. The other ideas in your head are about whether or not your acquaintances from Ame are seeing actual combat while you're babysitting and killing politicians.
The Commander ponders for a moment. "Honestly it should be pretty easy to take out the regime. Kill the Daimyo first while the samurai is distracted, then wipe out his court. Once the palace is in chaos, there's no way the civilian military will be able to enforce order before we get there. Especially if you take out his military advisor too. Don't worry, you can't miss the guy, always at court and he dresses like a samurai. The samurai dresses like a ninja." He holds up his hands in mock-surrender, "I know, I know, doesn't make a ton of sense. But rumor has it that the samurai does know some ninjutsu. I haven't seen him in action myself to confirm though. By the way, since you're the kid I'm staking my future on, do you mind giving me your name?"
How do you approach the mission proper?
[] When you approach the capital, follow the Commander's advice in eliminating the Daimyo, then his guard, then his court. The upside is the regime proper is decapitated early, but the downside is that any sort of conflict with the samurai will alert the court, possibly causing them to scatter.
[] When you approach the capital, take the initial approach you had thought of. Eliminate the Daimyo's court, then eliminate him and his guard at the same time. Though the Daimyo will have time to flee, tracking him should be trivial as he won't go far and will likely escape to a safe room, and the samurai is unlikely to abandon his master.
[] Knowing that the Daimyo has a (very likely elite, if he knows ninjutsu) samurai guarding him, take a different approach. Ame and this country are still allied, so you will be able to get into the court, once you're there, attack the samurai while the court is in session. This will cause chaos, and after eliminating the samurai, everyone else of importance will be present.
Do you give the Land of Birds' Commander your name?
[] No, you will not remember his, so you have no reason to give him yours. Inform him of this with a little bit more tact than the sentiment though.
[] Yes, only your given name of course, but considering the weight of your mission to all of these disparate ninja, having them know who you are may pay off.
Will you leave for the capital right away?
[] Yes, the less time spent on this mission the better. Though annexing the Land of Birds will one day prove valuable, there are pressing missions out there, you know it.
[] No, get to know some of the ninja of the Land of Birds better. They are a diverse group, and upon annexation they will be Ame-nin. Perhaps there is something useful in learning about some of them.

I feel that we should take out the samurai first, since they're the greatest threat, and this should hopefully kill the daimyo and his court in the fight, or have them close by after we finish the samurai to kill.

While it would be in character for Tsubaki to not give her name, this is a good exception imo, since it'll make us more famous among the Bird ninja.

A tougher choice, but I feel that spending the extra time to form connections with these ninja will pay off in the future.

1) Why the Court first? Because the Daimyo is a leader, but the court is the structure the leader operates. Taking out the Daimyo means an easier time making them lose, but a harder time to secure a win, as the surviving court can organize resistance or go to another faction for aid.
2&3) If you're couping a country you'd DAMNED well be sure you know who you're putting in charge and make sure they know who they owe. Or they won't stay friends long.

First kill the mooks, then the boss. It's tradition!
Besides, having to hunt each member of the court (if we let them scatter) would get very tiresome very fast for Tsubaki. She wants a good fight, not spend so much time being a rat exterminator!
And better not openly act as an Ame-nin. "Ame killed our old goverment. Now the new goverment intend for us to be protected... by Ame. Whut?" That would be awkward.
Regarding the name, commander Nosui isn't an enemy but an ally. Being a dick to him could be both unnecessary and counterproductive.
And spending more time with potential new Ame-nin could be useful. We would be gaining some support now, in the event of a "succession crisis" in Ame later on.

Though the Daimyo will have time to flee, tracking him should be trivial as he won't go far and will likely escape to a safe room, and the samurai is unlikely to abandon his master.
-[X] Yes, only your given name of course, but considering the weight of your mission to all of these disparate ninja, having them know who you are may pay off.
-[X] Yes, the less time spent on this mission the better. Though annexing the Land of Birds will one day prove valuable, there are pressing missions out there, you know it.

[X] Plan Surprise attack the boss fight
- [X] Knowing that the Daimyo has a (very likely elite, if he knows ninjutsu) samurai guarding him, take a different approach. Ame and this country are still allied, so you will be able to get into the court, once you're there, attack the samurai while the court is in session. This will cause chaos, and after eliminating the samurai, everyone else of importance will be present.

-[X] No, get to know some of the ninja of the Land of Birds better. They are a diverse group, and upon annexation they will be Ame-nin. Perhaps there is something useful in learning about some of them.
Sounds like the Samurai would be quite the tough fight. Let's quickly eliminate him with a surprise attack leaving us to easily kill the defenseless civilians afterwards. Also if we attack him with the court in session odds are those civilians will become easy collateral damage or run for the hills. Either way removing them from consideration.
