Okay, so maybe the Narrative Hijack plan wasn't as well supported as I thought. In which case:

[X] Action Plan: Internal Political Sausage-Making
Wordcount: 245

Run plans by the clan.
  1. Estate
    1. Meet adoption candidates:
      1. Evaluate:
        1. Candidate fit.
        2. Willingness to join.
        3. Scope of issues.

    2. Continue previous tasks.
      1. Consult Aburame and Inuzuka on chakra beast farming.
  2. Politics
    1. Temporary adoption limit increase:
      1. Reasoning:

      2. Proposal:
        1. Temporarily increase the clan adoption limit to five ninja per year for three years. Evaluate results.
      3. Execution:
        1. Meet allied clans to find the cost of their support.
        2. Meet hostile clans to find points of agreement.
        3. Submit consensus plan to Asuma.
    2. Sealing sweatshop conditions
      1. Continue pressure campaign for better sealmaster conditions or working from home
        1. Mention Kagome's reaction to sealing sweatshops to ISC during politicking.
  3. Kei
    1. Thank her for helping us with our mental state. It helped a lot.
    2. Try to convince the Dog Clan to only accept Goketsu summoners ala the Snake attempt.
  4. Jiraiya's legacy
    1. Continue drawing from or maintaining Jiraiya's resource caches.
      1. Mention the cache in the Swamp of Death especially, considering the current plan.
    2. Try to reactivate portions of his spy networks with notes that we have.
      1. Reveal a fraction of what we have to drum up support.
  5. Implement Ami's suggestions.​
    1. Note feelings and emotions in journal.
    2. Practice daily with Mari on genjutsu.

So... are we going to just let the pox blankets thing pass by unremarked? Intentionally unleashing a plague seems like a great way to get Tsunade to leave the Leaf for good and turn her into an irreconcilable enemy, given that we're the ones who proposed it.

I mean, if we want to go full MAD, wouldn't we be better off just using skywalkered ninjas to drop bombs on Hidden Rock?

We can't really contradict Mari during the meeting, and the idea has stuck in the mind of the other Ninja. Remember, our morales are considered weird as hell by the people present.
 
TBF I think Tsunade would be more pissed about us spreading plague among civilian populations, as opposed to spreading it among what amounts to an invasion/occupation force.

So we take Mari aside asap and talk to her about how we can veto her without killing her credibility. Worst comes to worst, we go directly to Asuma at the first opportunity and try to convince him directly.

I support the general idea, and think it can be salvaged - driving the wildlife to attack their outpost, poisoning the wells, etc. makes perfect sense. Weaponizing disease however is a bridge too far, because not only is it unreliable, but it has to cause massive collateral damage to actually be effective.

I imagine that to her the two are basically one and the same. See, it's not actually possible to control who a plague infects, so by spreading diseases among Hidden Rock's occupation force, we encourage that disease to spread wherever the occupation force goes.

[X] Action plan: Who let the dogs out

I like most of the plan. I still don't agree with the pangolin jutsu stuff and teaching the jounin will just mean their clans will all know it but I'm sure Keiko will shut down that train of thought anyway.

Ahh I think there is a slight disconnect. I want to get permission to teach it for the jutsu exchange. That way we end up with a ton of new techniques

It's a series?

Regardless, we bought a ton of books during our first Leaf visit.

I don't think 20-30 books that he hadn't finished reading makes him qualified. But that isn't important.

Shops are looking to locate. Can we hire a couple of individuals to build underground levels that we can rent out?

There was talk of lowering the age requirement for voting too since most of the clans have young clan heads and it feels like useless bureaucracy. Should we add that to politics bullet 2?

Also, I'm somewhat worried that us trying to grab the dog scroll away from the ninja that Asuma has decided is the best fit will make us look really bad during wartime.

It's true that the dog scroll probably won't affect this war, but making the decision to put ourselves above the interests of the village at this time isn't ideal.

Regarding retail workers for the bank: Are there any academy dropouts that dropped out for reasons other than shit at following orders or having not a shred of chakra control? All we need for the job is a dude with enough chakra control to reliably activate storage seals, enough chakra to do so many times a day and enough reliability to work a retail job. Those are low bars. Far lower than what is needed to graduate from the academy.
