"Final" version of the plan. By which I mean I incorporated some of @Left-Hand Mutant's suggestions (please make explicit suggestions as well as forking in the future?) and made sure it stays under wordcount.
I'll be awake a few hours before the close of voting. I'm very unlikely to add anything at this point, but if you want me to remove something, please tag me and make your case.

[X] Action Plan: The Dawn of the Final Day
Word count: <400
- Duration: 24 hours.
- Mari, Kei, Ami, Naruto. (Ideally, offscreen/flashbacks.)
- Bribe the Kurusu to immediately declare support for Naruto.
- Shikamaru's deal:
- Pros:
- We need strong Hokage support for the Dragons and Rift. (Explain why Itachi wanted dimensionalism.)
- Clear conditions for Choza's vote.
- Con:
- Weakens Naruto's chances.
- Could be part of a larger scheme.
- We lean yes.
- Kurenai:
- She potentially has sway, and Naruto would lead Leaf against the Akatsuki.
- Would someone (Mari?) meeting with her be useful, or just alienate establishment Sarutobi?
- Hinata:
- Our meeting was cryptic. If she did something last-minute what would it be?
- Could/should Naruto duel Ritsuo and Choza simultaneously?
- Discuss and fine-tune (e.g., specific numbers) everything below.
- Meta: our Naruto pitch. He's…
- …strong, smart, well-trained, and a flexible forward thinker.
- …capable of personally standing up to Orochimaru/S-rankers.
- …respected by everyone from the KEI to traditionalists.
- …well-suited to the bureaucratic requirements of the role (Shadow Clones).
- Tsunade:
- Tone: no nonsense, to the point.
- The Rift is an existential threat.
- Iron fist, velvet glove (Choza) won't work on AMITY/the Akatsuki. Ritsuo would be disastrous. We think Naruto's the best choice for what's coming.
- Make our Naruto pitch (above).
- Unconditionally offer dampener seals and Arachnid-silk bandages to Leaf General.
- For her vote, offer up to 30% of our cash reserves, then repeat our Naruto mic-drop moment. Explain we have a steady supply we'll use to crash Lightning's market with the Hyuuga. Offer half our profits for a year.
- Shino:
- Tone: respectful, relaxed.
- Is Kurenai okay? We're interested politically and compassionately. We're familiar with grief, albeit on a different scale.
- Make our Naruto pitch.
- Does he have concerns about Naruto? Can we address or offset them?
- Choza:
- Tone: Well-mannered. Respectful and honest. Think before speaking.
- You appreciate him reaching out. You've neglected your relationship with the Akimichi.
- We want to remedy that. Could we visit their kitchens at some point? We feed many, but it's food, not cuisine.
- We both want to see Leaf safe, prosperous, and happy. We want thatto define our relationship, not our different social values. Ino says we have plenty in common. Ask for a stump speech. Listen.
- How would he handle the Dragons? AMITY? The Akatsuki?
- If he were suddenly Lord Goketsu, what would he do?
- Not just our vote, but generally. We're new at this, and we've made many mistakes.
- He's an experienced leader. We'd value his perspective.
