First check if Jiraiya has any work for us. Our power to influence things depend on him.
try to find restaurants to sell ice to.
Get Noburi working in the hospital and try to deepen his relationship with Kabuto
Talk to Ino about starting a game night who might be interested in going

Current iteration of the plan. Reminder: You can vote for the plan without modules that you don't like.
Shouldn't Hazou dispelling at random intervals be something he'll do at this point without us having to vote for it? It just seems like another one of those unnecessary things that clutter up plans, like "be polite".

Training, talking with Noburi regarding chakra quantification, talking with Mari about therapy for Kagome, talking with Mari about therapy for us, getting cool new jutsu/seals from not-really-Daddy Jiraiya.

Non-mind-walking therapy, preferably
I'd also REALLY like the chance to talk to Gai about philosophy, given the chance.

I was just thinking, we should really place some air dome seals in discrete places in our clothes.
If we're able to detect someone trying to shank us at the last moment, we channel chakra to a seal hidden in our collar, and sproing, kunai bounces off instead of going through our neck.

Unless you're a Hyuga, you can only activate seals with your fingers if they don't have a special mode of activation (like chakra adhesion for Skywalkers).

@NeverDies Good suggestion, albeit not a novel one. (nothing ever is in this quest (it's all recycled all the way down)) Unfortunately the QMs said only exceptional ninja can activate chakra anywhere except their hands and feet. However, this does mean we can do Air Domes in the hands, and if we ever get those relay seals working, all over our bodies.
Anyway, here's the current iteration of the protoplan; it has way too many elements and not enough focus. Suggestions for trimming/further addition of ideas?
edit: I count 15(!) scenes in this plan. Way the hell too much. at this rate, we might give Jiraiya and Sabrina from PMAS a run for their money in terms of busy schedule.

I'm pretty sure there would be a sudden attack by Akatsuki on Leaf if we tried to pull that, with either of the senpai QMs
...OliWhail might feel intense sympathy for the times he pulled it on them though.

- how about no
One of our first priorities should be checking in with Mari obviously, but when we do so we need to get a run down from her about the current political situation in Leaf. She has been reveling in politics since we've been out and about so she should have a good handle on what the various clans are up to. Furthermore, she can advise us on which actions she deems acceptable in the current environment. Should we seclude away to make seals if everyone else is busy or should we try to make friends with the other clan kids? Should we expect to be sent on another mission again soon so we won't make a mess of Jiraiya's plans? Are game nights really the best way to interact with the other kids or should we do something more ninja-like such as sparring, or more formal such as inviting them over to dinner?
We need to first establish what we can and cannot do safely before we get too ahead of ourselves. All of the ideas posted by others so far are definitely things we need to look into, but I really, really don't want us to be kicked out of Leaf again for overstepping our bounds. We may be the acting Hokage's kids, but we were already sent into time-out once (if not twice if you count our earlier stint in that murder-box). Let's learn our lesson and approach this volatile political situation appropriately: cautiously.

repeating question:
Do we know what teams the clan kids are on @eaglejarl @Velorien @OliWhail?
If so, what teams are they on and who are their teammates?

It occurs to me...
If we could popularize sealtech like jetpack seals that are potent to the extent of making it difficult for a jounin-level combatant to hit a low chuunin/high genin, and sensory seals... that could very well be a win condition: It would make ninja combat extremely difficult to pull off to the point of being an economically invalid choice.

Alternatively, specialize and use the money/power we get from being able to do stuff that no one else can do to hire a technique hacker.
There are a lot of custom seals I imagine a competent technique hacker would trade competent technique hacking for. Presuming the ninja-economy isn't completely fucked, it should make more sense for our clan to just continue to get really good at sealing, until we start hitting hard diminishing returns (after the singularity).
There are a number of ways it couldn't, you should probably change that phrasing. Maybe two clans hate each-other, and befriending clan-kids from both is seen as a huge snub.
Instead of making 3 seals, let's make one. Either NAND or NOR are both functionally complete, you can use either to make all the other gates. Not as elegant, but if we're essentially creating a whole new seal for each one...
@huhYeahGoodPoint please add "be polite" and "observe opsec" to plan.

Huh I wonder why no one else has ever tried this strategy? I mean it's so obvious you'd think some village might have tried that. Maybe build an outpost over a bay somewhere. Then they could just tell everyone that they aren't trying to conquer the world

I will note that I was specifically referring to the case that we spread such ninja-combat-disabling seals to other nations.
You got way too much in your plan. Time to think about trimming down to three or four modules.

Actually, I'd prefer that you keep the contents of that plan around somewhere: Those modules are good to pull from for future plans.
