Given this update shouldn't require a super huge plan, I'll take a crack at putting up a plan.
[X] Plan Running Like a Mole
Goals: Get out of the stampede zone, avoid being disqualified, reach Super Team Leaf and update them of the situation
Means:
- Hazou will get off the porch and onto dirt and use Hiding Like a Mole to go underground, without being noticed by the proctors and before the stampede hits him. He will either need to move forward into the mist, or move to the side opposite of where the proctors are, depending on his understanding of where everything is and what is least likely to get him spotted. He may also pop a Misterator if he deems it necessary to obscure his ability to escape undetected. He will use a Tunneler's Friend to allow himself to breathe while underground.
- From there, Hazou will move away from the zone quickly, with the goal of reaching the safe zone and Super Team Leaf. Hazou will use his knowledge of the grounds to determine an appropriate place to emerge without being spotted by other contestant. (the hedge maze, a conveniently placed bush near the marquee, etc.) Exclude the tunnel from before as a possibility, as your enemies have knowledge of it. If emerging close to the marquee, check briefly to see if proctors are already there questioning ST Leaf.
- Once with Super Team Leaf, update them on the situation. Use hand signals to imply that proctors may be inbound or listening in. State the story in such a way that you're not directly implicated in anything, and to make it appear to any eavesdroppers that the ST Leaf noticed that the temperature change was a trap to herd people in, that they didn't allow themselves to be herded, and that you were sent in to do recon since you had a means to escape. Make it clear that you think whoever incited the panic with the explosive tag is an idiot, and that the likely mass disqualifications and possible civilian injuries that would result from that action could get anyone blamed for it kicked out of the tournament.
- If a proctor is already present, Hazou will use his judgement about whether to rejoin or not based on the context of what's going on. If he does think it appropriate, he will go in and notify the proctor of what happened, again without implicating himself or ST Leaf, and ask for instructions. Hazou may suggest that a break room be discretely prepared so Noburi could use his medical jutsu to tend to any civilian wounded, provided he can get some
- The desire here is to get the proctor focused on dealing with the immediate situation, losing focus on ST Leaf.
- If the proctor tries to blame Hazou for the incident, he will point out that inciting a panic in a mixed crowd of civilians and ninja is an obviously bad idea due to several obvious reasons, including the losing enough points to get thrown out of the tournament. He'll point out that his group includes the Nara heir and a Mori bloodline user, and that it isn't plausible that two people with their intelligence and abilities would condone such an idiotic idea, so it isn't really plausible you or your group is responsible.
- If able, work with Super Team Leaf to figure out a way to best take advantage of the new situation in order to maximize the amount of points that the group can get. See if you can get Nara to take a lead in planning, with Keiko's assistance to refine plans, using the excuse that you had inhaled a little of the alcohol and are a bit tipsy as an excuse.
- He does first suggest that the group may want to seek out a proctor and volunteer to help if there are any wounded civilians that need tending to. In particular, if Noburi can get some chakra loaned to him he could be discreetly taken to a break room to give on-site medical treatment.
