Oh right! I forgot, offscreen:
Noburi: Don't worry! This will only hurt a little bit, and besides, I'm a trained mednin!

Was that the lightning team we were told to avoid?

Yes.

You know, it occurs to me, Jiraiya's never really seen Team Uplift in action. Sure, he might have seen us sparring, but he's never seen the team with a fire under their asses with real motivation.
Food for thought.

At this point, I'm pretty much assuming you guys have all gotten together and hatched an evil plan: "Guys, I've got it," one of you said. "Whenever we have a sealing-related idea, we start off by just asserting that it's easy! Then the QMs will anchor on that position and they have to disprove the assertion or make it easy for us! It can't fail!"
That's how it went, didn't it? Go on, admit it.
I really regret doing that bit with the Out. It ruined a nice bit of psychological horror by defining it.
Regardless, everything you're quoting got retconned away and so shouldn't be relied on. Sorry.
It's about 1 per five minutes typically. Note that a 5-Seal Barrier has 5 elements in it, as the name suggests. It's one seal, but that seal is spread across 5 separate sheets of paper so it takes 5 times as long to scribe. Whenever you see mention of (e.g.) "ten 5SB seals" it's talking about ten seals each of which is made of five parts.
Note that that was an off the cuff leaning, not a definitive ruling.
It's 110 seals, each of which requires 25 minutes to produce.
You had a whole bunch already kicking around.

Pulled out a flawless victory and made your avian overlord happy?

Keiko being bad at intimidation is about as believable as eaglejarl being bad at social scenes.

That was the scary lighting team, the Leaf team with first-hand knowledge of our personalities and the ultimate cheating sensory bloodline, and our "evil counterparts" specializing in layered traps, who correctly predicted our general strategy.
We successfully, flawlessly took them all down. This is glorious.

Literally our biggest problem at this point will be physically running fast enough to beat more people up, and it's great.

Nice. This is quite possibly the best that the exams could throw together apart from ISK getting creative, and they offered no resistance. Technically, they offered negative resistance, because we have more resources than we started.
Noburi: Well, mostly trained mednin. I'm in large part self taught!
Hapless victim: +1 more Thousand Yard Stare Point.

So it's kind of funny, but with Kiri's ~700CP barrel the optimal tactic is to actually kidnap her and take her with us, since Wakahisa need to be near their barrels to retain their chakra. We're already filled and if Keiko summons her other combat Pangolins (Panjandrum, Panchipāma) she'd still have ~400CP left for us to use. Obviously it'd be dumb as fuck to leave her there since keeping her would be super-useful for extra topping off. Unless we want everyone to use their superjutsu like Living Roots and Ghost Scales all at once (and sustain it with the 1CP/min cost, is that a thing?), or pay sustain costs in advance (like that would be super nice, just have Keiko dump that extra chakra onto an extra hour or so) I think we just tie her to Panjandrum's back and keep our critical fighters with her.
Some other things to note...summoning costs. Pankurashun, Pangaya, and Panashe were all summoned at around the same time which means they'll be up for renewing chakra at around the same time. This is 144CP in ~35 minutes, 75% of Keiko's max chakra supply. She should not be in the forefront of an assault when this happens, as it'll fuck her reserves. Pandamonium and Pandojuru will be 25 minutes after that (104CP), again a lot of chakra (>50%). I'm not sure if we can pay this in advance, but if not we should be careful with this.

Holy cow. ISK is the only other team who knows we are coming. No one else is going to be even remotely prepared.
EDIT:
Oh my gosh. We are going to be wrapped up in 3 hours tops. By the looks of things, we will be completely uninjured. After that, the safest place for us is in Mist. We could go pay Jiraiya a visit!

The chakra takes hours to dissipate, and Kiri could potentially forcibly dump the chakra out if we let her. Plus, if we use up enough we can just swap Noburi's used up barrel out for Kiri's full barrel and keep the chakra in that way.

We took out three of the most dangerous and high scoring teams in the entire Exam without taking a single shift of damage (except Pandamonium) in under ten minutes, and we secured enough chakra to refill everyone plus an additional 700CP. Mist fucked up big time by placing Wakahisa Kiri as one of the first obstacles (oversized chakra batteries) in our path.
Oh man that asshole proctor is going to piss herself when she learns what happened in this event.

Alternatively, alliance with leaf. Mist done good.

Oh shit you're right the rules state that she has to be in arm's reach to use the chakra, my fault. Yeah in that case we should just steal the barrel. Have Hazou take a look and Iron Nerve it if it's not one of those Noburi knows, that way he can help Noburi make a second kind of barrel for...well, whatever purposes Kiri had this one for.

No, this is a Wakahisa barrel. It takes days to dissipate. Noburi can just drain from her barrel to refill his.

You are Event 5 of the Chunin Exams
You are facing Team Misfits, who have just emerged from their first battle
-against a squad composed of their archrivals, political opponents, and one of the toughest teams present-
flawlessly, with many more summons and more chakra than they had starting the match and a supreme tactical advantage.
You face the full unbridled cold fury of Dark Hazou, Pissed Keiko and DoneWithThisShit Noburi
as well as 6 other contestants, whose skills are grossly complimentary to each other
and perfectly suited for beating the living shit out of the remaining 54 contestants.
You have 21 hours and 45 minutes remaining.
Try not to die~~
