Ohh, right. Added.
I thought they were supposed to stay in Mist until the merchants were ready to go?

We don't need to use a special courier. We just need a trustworthy ninja. Because we as lord Gōketsu are the highest authority in Leaf right now

Why not consider a vote to continue the previous plan as a plan with a '0' wordcount?

Because that is just abusing the system. You could write a bunch of instructions in a Google doc and then make a plan that is "Follow the instructions in the linked Google doc". The plan in thread would have very little word count but the QMs wouldn't be happy with you.
That was the original plan, then Jiraiya yanked absolutely everybody he could off to Nagi, and had the few remaining chuunin escort the genin home.
Don't tell Ami what Ami can't do.
The Ami list:
- If she had more legs you would notice that she puts her pants on with O(log n) efficiency.

I at least would love to run Ninja Polotics Civ Quest, but I don't know that MfD would work well for it

Yes, and the backup to that plan was Keiko hiring Mist ninja as escorts, not Keiko sending Leaf ninja to Mist.
A speculation so optimistic it naturally makes me skeptical.
-which means that she would have prearranged the approvals necessary for both Leaf-nin in Mist for an entire month and Mist-nin in Leaf in relation to the mission to allow her to take either option as necessary.

I suspect Hazou was /much/ too distracted at the time to notice how efficiently she put her pants on.

What's polotics?

I. e., she would have arranged for certain Leaf ninja that are already in Mist to be able to stay in Mist for a time and then safely exit it, and for certain Mist ninja to be able to cross the Fire border. You, on the other hand, seem to be suggesting that she arranged to be able to grant any Leaf ninja the ability to enter Mist, which seems... distinctly implausible.
... Okay, fine, that'd work. We're not sending anything this update though, so the argument is moot.Use a gosh danged storage seal ya dork they can't read inside one of those.

Definitely not disagreeing that it's a highly optimistic hot take. That having been said... do you actually think it's more likely that Hazou, social genius that he is, was the one person who was able to discover the
Regardless, I'm not actually sure I'd give my own prediction higher than maybe a 30% chance of being right, but I wanted to post it here so I can quote it in 4 updates when we find out I was right accidentally anyways.

He was smart enough to stop Zazuba when even Ami couldn't do it.

I don't think Akane fixed her. I think the news of Jiraiya's death gave her enough of an emotional shock to break her out of her cycle and make her realise she actually had genuine feelings. Then she had plenty of time for self-reflection and confused mental flailing to stop her from drowning in self-hatred. Hazou just needed to give her a push to stop her from drowning in indecision.

I agree that if Akane was helping her then it's likely that she played a significant role in Mari's recovery/"recovery"... but we don't actually know whether Akane was given an opportunity to help her. Tsunade didn't kill or mutilate her, but that doesn't necessarily mean she allowed her to meddle.
And, well, Mari is one of the six people in the world Hazou knows best. If he could have insight into anyone, it's her.

I dunno about canon, but in MfD the existence of sapient chakra beasts has been confirmed.
We know that some chakra beasts hunt in packs and can understand the tactics you are shouting to your friends, thus formulating their own counter-tactics and killing you all. This means that they can understand human speech!
I think it was during Mori Ryugamine's chapter, but I could be wrong.

I don't think there are any chakra beasts in canon at all, intelligent or otherwise.

How does it work between Leaf and Sand?
Also, if Hazou knows all that, what went through his mind when he set up being pen pals with various chūnin exam acquaintances?
Ami isn't though. She is not a clan head and she lives in the only village that currently has a Kage.

SHIKAMARU: All right, everyone here has stuff to do so let's get this over with. Goketsu, will you marry me?
HAZOU: Okay.
SHIKAMARU: Great, step forwa--. What? Why are you here, Hazou? You can't get married on your sister's behalf, that is not how this works. Where is Keiko?
KEIKO: I am right here and I have been for the last ten minutes. Staring at you.
SHIKAMARU: Oh, that's... nice. So, uh, marry me? We really can't afford to waste this much ti--
NOBURI: *barges in* I accept. And sorry I'm late, I couldn't find my good tuxedo.
SHIKAMARU: Cut it out, guys. This is serious business.
KEIKO: Are you implying we are not taking this seriously? All of us are here to marry you and you insult us? Not a good start, I'd say.
SHIKAMARU: ???
SHIKAMARU: The contract we made only involves you and me.
KEIKO: Yes.
SHIKAMARU: Good. Now step forward so we can finish the ceremony please.
*HAZOU, NOBURI and KEIKO all step forward*
SHIKAMARU: OH FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! Take this seriously!
HAZOU: Excuse me? We are taking this seriously, it is you who keeps breaking decorum constantly and refusing to marry us already. I don't know how this works here in Leaf, but we have a rule where if your clan heads happen to die in foreign territory before the marriage goes through that you are required to marry everyone from the smaller clan - of the appropriate age range.
SHIKAMARU: ...this is a highly specific rule.
HAZOU: *shrugs* I don't make the rules, I just obey them because blind obedience to authority figures is how I was raised. So when you marry Keiko, you marry all of us.
AMI: *spontaneously appears behind SHIKAMARU* All of us. ^_^

That's the brilliance of it. Ami is definitely causing Ren headaches right now. So we are doing Ren a favor by getting Ami out of the village. So we end up with Ami, Kei, shikamaru and Ren all owe us favors

That would presuppose Ren knowing. Are you proposing we also send a message to our aunt requesting permission for Ami to attend Keiko's wedding?
The more I think about it the more I'm starting to worry that we may be commiting political suicide with this. As of yet I am still in favor, but I really think we should ask Naruto to either back us up or talk us out of it.
