These are edits to get it under wordcount: this is 299 on the nose. We ask Kuma if we can bring other Leaf Summoners to Bear - I think seeing Mareo with other Humans would be an argument in favour of giving him the option of the variety/ability to visit Leaf. I also added asking for Shadow Clone for Kagome. Hopefully he doesn't also dip upon meeting his clone.

Would you mind adding Kagome into the sanity check?
 
Have we secured Kisame/Sharkboss's help in the dragonwar?
If not, we should *really* get on that.

Same for Itachi/crows really, but that's a harder sell, and probably best pitched via Kisame anyways.

@Sir Stompy @FaintlySorcerous I think I would vote for either of your plans if you included Kagome in the Sanity Check and removed the part where we talk to a Clan Boss Summon about getting a Summoner contracts (Neji and King K)

For the first: I think we need to repair our relationship with Kagome. I think the possible ramifications of Kagome being alienated is extremely bad and it should not be hard to add him to Sanity Checks now that Ami is gone.

For the second: I think that there might be some incredibly esoteric and hidden cultural norms regarding Summoners, Clan Bosses, and Communication from outside 3rd parties. I think interfering, in any way, between and Summoner and their Clan Boss could have horrific results especially right now.

I'm not doing this, sorry. Vote for another plan.
Why aren't we going through Neji for this?
He's delivering the letter.

I'm incorporating edits now. Will post updated plan in a few min.

EDIT: to avoid a double post.

"King Kamehameha has departed the Conclave. But send him a letter (fully vetted to maintain rune OPSEC) to implore him as the current human expert on the Dragons to -just for this mission- provide Neji with temporary contracts for his strongest warriors." Could you please reword this? I'm not sure who is sending the letter, or who the human expert it, or what exactly you're asking it for.

Reach out to King Kamehameha (via letter - delivered by Neji). While maintaining OPSEC on runes, as an authority on the Great Seal, implore him to grant Neji temporary contracts for this mission. In Hazou's estimation, it is critical to understanding the Great Seal.
  • Include a summary of the Cavern's threats and challenges: a Dog was hurt by mental attacks.
  • Does Neji have the reserves for a mini Zoo Rush? If so, fund chakra drain missions to keep it going.
Does this make sense now?

Full text of the plan follows.
[X] Action Plan: Happenings on the Paths
Word count: 299
  • Optimize all with Kei/Mari/Noburi
  • Offscreen:
    • Ask Tsunade about Mareo's wandering wits during one of our healing sessions. Can anything be done? Also ask Ino for additional suggestions.
    • Confirm Tower authorization to repatriate Mareo.
    • Send an emissary to Sharks/Porcupines warning them of Dragons on the move.
  • Mareo:
    • While maintaining OPSEC, update him on everything that's happened: Akane, Asuma, Hazou's injury, the Conclave, the Dragons.
      • Don't have an agenda: just talk to him, like a respected elder.
    • We're going to ask Kumafuwafuwa to join the Crusade. Any advice?
  • Kumafuwafuwa:
    • Would he join the Crusade?
      • Bring him up to speed if necessary - ask Cannai what he knows.
      • Apologize for not reaching out earlier. We've had to cajole, convince, and wrangle self-interested, self-absorbed, and intractable Eastern Clans.
        • Implication: Bears are wise and thoughtful.
    • Discuss moving Mareo's Human Path location to Leaf.
      • Optimize extensively with Mari. Don't risk a poor reaction from Kumafuwafuwa.
      • We have safe ways of travelling: Skywalkers, Skytowers.
      • Leaf provides him greater access to human-specific comforts and other humans. He can still spend most of his time in Bear.
  • Team Lee
    • Mindset: throwing our full weight behind them.
    • Via the 7th Path, we can…
      • …offer skytowers, skywalkers, skyslicers(?), Hazou's goo bombs, explosives, anything not secret. Go over the list with optimizers/Kagome.
      • …provide a standby medic and extra chakra.
    • Reach out to King Kamehameha (via letter - delivered by Neji). While maintaining OPSEC on runes, as an authority on the Great Seal, implore him to grant Neji temporary contracts for this mission. In Hazou's estimation, it is critical to understanding the Great Seal.
      • Include a summary of the Cavern's threats and challenges: a Dog was hurt by mental attacks.

I've stopped maintaining my plan and would pull it down if there was a chance it would win. As it stands, there isn't and that seems like it would take effort.

For future reference, I am generally unlikely to be swayed by 'i think I would vote for your plan'. A strong commitment is generally necessary for me to implement something I don't personally think actively adds value.

In this case I disagree with both your points. Kagome doesn't add anything to sanity checks. At best it's a waste of his time, and at worst he can tell that we're pandering and his suggestions are bad, leaving us in the awkward position of having to decline, furthering his perception that he's not useful.

I value getting substrate more than potentially stepping on a social nicety, and 'your Summoner is doing absolutely vital work' reflects very well on Neji.

@Sir Stompy can we refer to them as Team Youth? It satisfies both Lee and Neji.

Heh, okay
 
I'm fine for the "what to get from Oro" stuff to be listed in a separate post and linked to, so long as the target post is reasonably concise and clearly presented.
@Everyone What is the plan for that Orochimaru list? I know I proposed compiling one, but the raw list should not be forwarded to Orochimaru or even Kabuto. Else we end up with Oro picking and choosing whatever he feels like paying instead of us boiling the list down to pur favorites.

Or even if it isn't up to Orochimaru alone, do we really want to let Hazō-pilot plus the sanity checkers decide the ultimate negotiating priority of that list? Because I don't expect them to value, say, the therapy/conversion sessions highly.

Interestingly enough, delivering the letter through Neji, assuming Neji knows what is in the letter is doing what I asked for : )

Ah, this was very unclear. It parsed like you wanted us not to ask Kamehameha about temp contracts at all. Instead of having Neji be the go between.

In the future, if you have desired edits, please suggest wording for them. It makes trying to understand what exactly you want easier for the planmaker. Especially when 6 different people are asking for edits.

Speaking of emissaries, we should probably deal with Sasori's price.
The huh what? A jounin seal? Akatsuki took about 20 seals from us. If they want more, too bad.

Very fair, will try to do that in the future!

Haven't we already? Or at least we can claim we thought we did. Itachi took seals that, according to our understanding, weren't directly dimensionalism related.

If not, then we should make a jōnin level version of one of the tangentially related seals that Itachi confiscated. Like some upgrade to macerators.
Since when did they steal RBs
The QMs gave us a list of all the stolen stuff. Was it threadmarked?

Edit: Here it is.
