[X] Plan Deceptive Flying Explosions
-[x] - Fuinjutsu:
--[x] - Reverse-engineering the controllable, detonable shuriken.
-[x] - Ninjutsu
--[x] - Learn Wind Release techniques from the Ravens
-[x] - Genjutsu
--[x] - Learn more wide area Genjutsu
The same plan I proposed last time but with Wind Release as another kicker. Shuriken are another fairly cheap technique and add AoE. Genjutsu is AoE on its own or can be combined to make the shuriken even harder to dodge. And wind release in general being good, could help with wind covered projectiles, more sword tech, on the way to flight, etc.

Hahaha, holy shit. What a first mission that was.
Anyway, plan voting.
Getting remote detonated tags on all our shuriken gives us a potent wide-spread ranged option that costs little chakra, and improving our storage seal should continue to be a priority throughout training. Both are very good choices.
My "Nevermore" omake is canon, which means that learning from the Ravens can let us integrate Ninjutsu into our swordplay. Beyond that, progressing Raven Summoner (I) is a good idea, and with our new Chakra Control level, we can afford the 90 chakra it costs to summon the Great Raven. This is my top pick.
Our healing has been shown to be good enough for field work, which is all we need. We're done with this, I believe.
[x] Plan Quoth The Raven
[x] - Kenjutsu
[x] - Learn to use chakra flow with only shape manipulation - just in case you have to face a fire user
[x] - Ninjutsu
[x] - Learn Wind Release techniques from the Ravens
[x] - Fuinjutsu:
[x] - Reverse-engineering the controllable, detonable shuriken.
Edit, comparing to other plans:
Very similar to "Path to Senjutsu", and I'll likely merge if this doesn't take off. I'd argue that finally nailing the use of ranged exploding shuriken is a more immediate improvement to our abilities, and keeping our Explosive Fuinjutsu stat at D-rank (genin level) is downright terrible. Both Fuinjutsu actions should progress the main Fuinjutsu stat the same amount, so it's not a major tradeoff in terms of long term goals either.

As I mentioned, I think we should start transitioning away from a Genjutsu focus. This isn't a priority for me, right now.
Covering weaknesses is more important than advancing strengths - that's why our build has been so generalist so far. Having ranged chakra flow for better EXCALIBAAA sword beams is nice, but we will have to fight fire users at some point. Close the gap.

Keep on that focus.

Nope, and, if given a choice, I'm not voting to attend.

Not happening. Naruto and Sasuke are both driven to succeed, they'd take us not wanting to go badly. And moreover... not attending the exams won't keep us safe from Orochimaru. At least this way we'll have some idea when he might make his move.
If the second exam proceeds as canon, I very much want us to get a scroll and then gtfo on flying summons.

Unfortunately, if the rumors from this spread we won't be able to do the Team Gai strategy of pretending to job for the first few tests to make everyone think we're weaker than we actually are.

Well the aftermath from this battle should be interesting, Konoha and Danzo must be freaking the fuck out about Mokuton wielding plant people that can completely hide their chakra signature and pass through Konoha's security without triggering alarms.
Orochimaru is probably going to have a nasty surprise when he tries infiltrating and runs face first into the massively overhauled security.
