I think this is actually enough. We can optionaly call his bluff with Wood Release, though it is better not to do this in public to not throw a monkey wrench in Nara's plot.
Shikamaru is not that strong to grab multiple opponents at the time, so with out support of other ISC, he wouldn't have time to finish any of his grabs. He grabs Keiko - Pangolin smashes; he grabs Pangolin (assuming he can at all) - Keiko throws. Unlike Yamanaka's technique, Shadow Bind is comparatevly easy to brake.
Thus, we may not need complicated strategy at all - just brute force.

On the other hand, if I'm not mistaken, @eaglejarl has stated that @Velorien was looking forward to writing the Keiko/Shikamaru fight.

I guess I was unclear in my longer post. Allow me to try again, more bluntly:
Put an action in an action plan consistently for enough updates and it will become a habit for Hazō.
I feel no need to have mechanics for how many updates it takes before something becomes a habit.
You may feel free to try to get @Velorien and @OliWhail on your side; if they feel it's necessary to have such mechanics then I will go with the majority. I find it unlikely that you will be successful.
A bit, yes. Thank you for the apology.

I would be happy for you to write the Ami meeting. I already know Shikamaru and Keiko's battle plans, and while your advice could influence the outcome (in either direction), it's also possible that it will have no impact whatsoever.
While I'm at it, note that the update will be delayed by a day for obvious reasons.

I mean, honestly, we're not going to get much better than "summon Pangolin, annihilate", but one thing we could add to the firestorm plan is to get a blanket sheet and use the hot air to literally float above it all.
Alternatively, tie it to a chair with armrests and then put it in a storage seal, to unseal as a literal flying throne

As awesome as it would probably be, we don't need firestorm to beat Nara's ass. And if it is a real, literal firestorm we create we can easily wipe whole arena due to an unfortunate gust of wind. I strongly object of using such weapon anywhere near civillians
e: exposition, see the "City firestorms" section for body count

@Velorien, would it be acceptable to vote-in two separate plans?:
Or are you planning to write the Keiko vs. Shikamaru fight this week, with no time left for the second meeting? If so, we could work on only the groundwork plan.
- One for laying the groundwork: making retroactive preparations for Keiko vs. Shikamaru fight, then talking about Ami's second letter with everyone, then checking Ami's story about Experimental Cuisine.
- One for the second meeting with Ami, which would include a boatload of contingencies and guidelines, like last time.

Baader—Meinhof effect, I think. Longer article.

I think I may be able to finish the Shikamaru/Keiko fight ahead of the main update, in which case you'll be able to dedicate the plan to all things Ami-related.

Summon Pankurashun.
Spread out into different areas so that Shikamaru can't get both of you even if he can catch a summon.
Throw explosives until Pankurashun closes in, then use normal kunai.
Watch as Pankurashun beats up Shikamaru.
My main contribution here is in bold.

Very likely not. (E: Oops, missed the most important word here.)
Mist probably doesn't want to put a magnifying glass on how the Wakahisa work so shifting attention on them by pointing out they use seals would be counterproductive.
(Though let's be honest, those barrels probably fell into enemy hands before but why give them more information, right?)

Hey, dropping in from further wiki work.
Off-topic to the maximum, but I want to tell this joke.
There is just one intruder every Mori elder is afraid of, the implications behind his existence a closely guarded secret.

The real reason behind the traps of the Mori compound isn't to protect against intruders. That is a positive side effect.

They say that, if Rock Lee ever enters the elongated corridors of the Chamber of Beginnings (used for cultivating young saplings, occasionally serving as a classroom for beginners botanical lessons), and opens his mouth to utter his poisoned words, all of Mori Genzōs work will collapse upon itself, and all of his invaluable blueprints will spontaneously immolate and turn to dust.

What about Pandaa? He could be a threat if armed with explosive tags.

I don't remember if Pandaa knows how to activate seals.
- Location
- Yes.
HDK, sadly. He didn't immediately post-Hot Springs, so Kagome had to set up a LBF so he could use them, but Pangolins in general have learned to use seals since then. It is unknown whether or not Pandaa is among those Pangolins.

I figured as much.
Unfortunately in tournament combat, I don't think Pandaa will be useful as anything but a distraction,meatshield, or an extra set of hands.

If Shikamaru can grab summons at all - Pandaa is the most likely to get captured. Better not risk it and don't summon him at all

I don't see a reason why Shika would capture Pandaa instead of simply popping him. Seems like extra work.
