Every summoner besides Hazō and possibly Asuma and Tsunade have a summoner in toad territory. We know tangos cause Noburi filled all of them

Sounds like everyone is in Pangolin land.
edit:
Originally not even some of our summoning clans were attending.
So who knows?

Open diplomacy sounds vague and probably incorrect -- the Conclave is the diplomacy. What's our ask for them?

Kei + Noburi: Get to know Leopard and Rat representatives. Goal: information on scroll
Noburi did get some info on Sage mode. So if this doesn't work I just blame him.

Upon further consideration, I'm suspending my plan until Hazō's consequences heal. @Sir Stompy makes a great point that both the trip to Sand and the 3D Sealing research are really things that should be done once we recover. We don't know what crazy mechanics the QMs have cooked up for 3D Sealing, but I highly doubt the consequences for a sealing failure are not equally or even more horrible than for regular sealing.
Noted.
You make some good points. I had originally intended for the Sand trip to happen later and for this meeting to only be bringing it up with Asuma. I was going to reword it to make that more clear, but honestly it makes more sense just to do the whole thing once we're healed. Hopefully we'll be at a point of the war by then where Leaf can spare a few chunin for the delegation.

Just curious why do you want to go to sand instead of mist where we have actually influence

I know the words may read as sarcastic, but I genuinely do mean this: thank you for your mercy.

A few reasons, but the largest of which is that getting to Mist would be substantially more dangerous than getting to Sand, especially if we're moving as part of a delegation. Another fact is that we've already approached them regarding the DragonWar situation and they've been less than helpful. Sand, on the other hand, doesn't require us to get past a "Cloud-held coast" and would be far more suspectable to pressure from Leaf than Mist would be.
Of course, this is just for an initial step. We'd obviously want to go to as many non-hostile places as we can. Mist would come later, when the trip is safer.
Could you clarify what you mean by this? I am understand both your original statement and the edit to mean the same thing, which is obviously not the case.
Also, is there any chance that we could see short and memey scenes like this in some sort of non-canon AU (on the rare occasion that spoons permit)? I get a sense that they would be chaotic and incredibly amusing to both read and write (though forgive me if I am mistaken about that) and it would side step the issue of us acting on OOC information.

The original statement was to the effect of "If people insist on voting stupid things in just because they can, those votes will be taken seriously as additions/amendments." The correction, the return to the status quo, is "stupid things will be considered to be in competition with the action plan, and implemented if they win".
It's a possibility, but honestly, the majority of them are either funny in the context of thread discussion or not at all.

Even if he were healed I do not think we should be infusing any 3D seals until we've done more research into non-GS 3D seals. For that matter, we can't actually infuse one yet anyways, Hazou can't leave his chakra in the ground with ES yet. Presumably that's a bonus at a higher AB.
Theorycrafting and discussing extremely simple seals like Party Trick in 3D with other Sealmasters first, and then constructing and examining basic configurations first shouldn't cause any Sealing failures and would be my preferred first step before we actually try infusing one.

But the green line literally is called sibling/teammate.
Also, what does an unidirectional sibling/teammate arrow mean? I.e the one Ino shoots towards Kei.

Mari is nobody's sibling.
Edit:
More specifically, that Kei isn't reciprocating. Ino has decided to treat her as a little sister, despite the fact that Kei is older and very much not in the market for new big sisters.

Paper, I have a few concerns regarding the wording of the Asuma section.
First, I think we should be incredibly leery about how we talk about the Orochimaru situation. It'd probably be best not to give too many details. Tsunade herself warned us that we walked a very thing line to treason by threatening her in the way we did. Even if the law is techincally on our side, Asuma will definitely be happier if we don't bring it up with him. As long as we don't bring it up, he won't have to address it and it can be overlooked.
I reccomend removing the line "Explain the situation in as much detail as he desires" from your plan. If he brings it up, he brings it up and there's nothing we can do about it. Why prompt him to do so?
Next, you use some pretty odd wording for your segment on the Arachnid summoner. Asuma told Kei directly that it's going to go to Kagome, so there's no need for us to play coy with who the summoner is going to be.
Additionally, it might not be smart to try and convince him to let us handle Kagome's training. Summoning Training is a full-time commitment that lasts for three to six months and will completely kill Hazō's ability to do much of anything in that time. The QMs literally designed it so that becoming a summoner has "a massive oppurtunity cost." Why would we want to have that for both Kagome and Hazō. Sure, we should be willing to help if Asuma requests it, but trying to convince him we're the person for the job isn't a good idea. I think I speak for all of us when I say that there's plenty of more intresting things for Hazō to be doing once his consequences heal in a few weeks.
Could you switch to the language I used in my now-abandoned plan?
Those two things are my biggest concerns. I have some hesitations about a few other things I'll try to type up if I have time later, but I do not know how likely that will be.
EDIT: Oh right, I totally forgot something. Could you please add these two lines to your offscreen section?
- Have Mari train new Gōketsu in OPSEC
- Implement a rudimentary verbal code for the Gōketsu to use for convaying information subtly during an emergency.

Wow, that's a really cool system. Thanks for sharing it!
As simple as it is, I think that implementing it would be a little more spoon intensive than we're looking for (which is virtually none). I can also imagine that it might have the added issue of it not immediately signaling an emergency. You'd have to first notice the situation is tense or that someone has been mentioning a lot of nouns that have a particular color.
Still a really cool system tho! It's just not the best fit for our particular needs.

I guess you forgot Sunny?
She is also Akane's and Noburi's sensei, that's as good as family. (Both Tachibana count as something, so should Aunty Sunny)

Ah, I see. Having Hazō draw this chart and present it to Kei would make for a great OMAKE scene, but the vast majority of meme votes won't translate nearly as well. That makes sense.

@Paperclipped I would actually recommend Noburi teach Kagome because he's not going to be deployed for a long time (Summoner Army duties, which are infrequent). Hazou on the other hand needs to be free to do Great Seal stuff and pumping out seals since Kagome can't do it right now.
