In Kei we trust. I say we leave the situation well enough alone until after she and Ami talk.

Sheer lunacy?

@Velorien, what was Mari's demeanour during the discussion? Was she calm? Annoyed? Resigned? Thoughtful? Thoughtful and conspicuously not sharing her thoughts? Something else? Any particular emotions in response to any particular topics?
Sheer lunacy that leaves everyone baffled how it didn't turn into an unmitigated disaster.

Well, that's about as clear cut as it gets.
When are we blowing her up?

Proto plan
[] Mending Bridges
Offscreen:
• Ask Goketsu to give Kei an opportunity to stop Ami.
• If Ami attacks Mari, the Goketsu will protect her.
• Ask Kagome if Storage Seal reactive armor is possible/safe to use.
• Bring Noburi to lead negotiations with Inuzuka.
• DRAGONWAR is a threat to all.
• Inuzuka have the best dog Jutsu on this path.
• Trade for Jutsu that could help dogs.
• Options for Noburi to bargain with:
• Seals, bulk or monthly.
. • Bringing dog storytellers
• ???
• If we get any dog Jutsu, give it to Cannai.
• Ask if Cannai wants to trade with the Inuzuka.
• What can they offer, what do they want?

Actually, entertaining as the image of Hazō holding off hordes of hyena raiders by waving his cane at them menacingly is, the patrols only start once the Consequences have healed.

i don't think i have seen the cracks on the great seal discussed much, any ideas regarding that?
we could still do that, nothing better than a wounded prey to bait them..

Hey, you know how we have a homicidal jounin who hates Mari in the clan (besides Mari herself, I mean), and whom we made sure to tell Ami about? And you know how Ami might still be planning to kill Mari without implicating herself?
We have until the rest of the clan finally teaches Yuno to ignore our orders.

Kei has made her will known, she doesn't want Mari killed. Of course Ami could trick her still, but I don't think she'd deliberately go against Kei like that

Fair point. Unless Yuno also decides that she knows better than Kei what's best for Kei. She didn't have her turn yet, did she?

I did wonder why you excluded her from the meeting.

I can't speak for anyone else who considered it but didn't speak up, but personally I wasn't sure having her and Mari in one place discussing something that polarizing was wise
EDIT: although, that may have made it sufficiently interesting for you to want to write

"Annoyed", predominantly, almost as if she did not take well to being threatened for reasons that were unreasonable and made no sense. Conspicuously not sharing all her thoughts. I think her distinct emotional responses were covered in the update.

- Yes.
Right, OK we need to order Mari to not take any action that could conceivably be taken as an attack on Ami, at least until Kei and Ami have their little chat.

We never got to see the skyslider presentation to Asuma, did we? Maybe we can squeeze a cool and lighthearted scene into this update.

Maybe Hazō is just that hot 🤷♀️

Or, we could direct her to make preparations for such an attack, that themselves do not constitute an attack even under the most broad definition. This should, at once, find an outlet for her anger, and position us well if Kei's discussion with Ami goes poorly.
In my previous assassination plan, such preparations would've meant gathering information on Hinji, and perhaps planting evidence on him. Sadly, I don't think this plan is viable anymore, as Kei will jump to the obvious conclusion.
Strap Ami to a skyslider and send her out towards the ocean... I mean, if no-one ever finds the body...

Without discussing your actual point (which I largely agree with), I'd like to remind you that there are plenty of "good" Hagoromo out there. You've been seeing only the ultra-orthodox and you're painting the whole community with that brush, to the point where you're using their name as a quasi-slur.
Don't be so hasty to judge. They're not all like that.
