While the potential rise of a shinobi village is of consequence, the artificial waterways which have been created as part of this dams construction are of particular interest to Joumaegakure who sees them as a means of transporting goods further inland as well as having a large supply of fresh water being diverted along a path that leads into their lands.
Kosuigakure however is intent to see the damn destroyed and in doing so ensure that the the Land of Valleys must continue to rely on its shinobi needs from its neighbors. Given that forces of Joumaegakure have recently been brought on to ensure security at the unveiling ceremony, it is quite likely that those needs would be satisfied by Kosuigakure so long as their involvement is not discovered.
Outline for AggressorsMain Objective - Dam DemolitionThe primary objective of the operation is to see that the thirteen structural braces that disperse the majority of weight generated by the mass amount of water behind the dam are destroyed beyond any potential repair. The primary plan is to see a prepared demolition charge be placed on each support strut, ensure its destruction and escape from the dam.
Secondary Objective #1 - Crowd ControlWhile Kosuigakure does want to see the dam destroyed, they have no desire to see the civilian population attending the unveiling ceremony atop the dam slaughtered, rather they want them scared so that the civilian population's outrage is directed to the Joumaegakure shinobi hired to protect the event. Endeavor to wound as many civilians as your team can while killing as few as possible. Due to the amount of witnesses, any ability that could easily be connected with Kosuigakure must only be used as a last measure.
Secondary Objective #2 - Scorched EarthDestruction of the surrounding hillsides is both something of a backup plan as well as a means of ensuring the planned destruction of the dam is a final one. Use whatever means necessary to cause large scale damage to the surrounding hillsides. The main goal of this particular job is to destroy natural resources near the dam to ensure they can't be used to repair or aid in the construction of a new dam in the future. Additionally, the destruction of the winding roads is of great importance in ensuring that any organized effort to save the dam or rebuild it in the future will be near impossible.
SpeculationIf everything goes according to plan citizens of Valley Country will come to blame Joumae for their inability to ensure their safety during the unveiling ceremony. Additionally with the destruction of the dam and the destruction of the surrounding area, they will have an abundance of additional work requiring shinobi hands. Being the next closest shinobi village, it is quite likely for the citizens of Valley Country to request this work be done by Kosuigakure and in doing so give a significant boost to the village's economy.
Alternatively if everything goes wrong, the backlash from the Valley Country could be quite severe. Likely all work requests from Valley Country would stop and the nation may even hire shinobi from Joumaegakure or elsewhere to pay back such sabotage in kind within the Lake Country itself. Such sabotage at the very least could disrupt operations or even potentially lessen the nation's overall strength by forcing many shinobi to focus on contracts to undo the damage in the nation's interior.
Outlines for DefendersMain Objective - Defend the DamThe dam is obviously paramount. Beyond the obvious reason of needing to defend what was hired to be protected, the new rivers formed by runoff from the artificial lake created are expected to make their way through Jaw Country and into Key Country, thereby giving Key Country a river route further into the interior and potentially more commerce by goods traveling through their lands. Prevent the destruction of the dam or irreparable damage at all costs.
Secondary Objective #1 - Tend the FlockWhile the physical security of the dam is of paramount importance, nearly as important is protecting the many Valley Country citizens attending the unveiling ceremony. The lives and health of citizens in attendence should be protected and any potential injuries kept to a minimum.
Secondary Objective #2 - Perimeter SecurityPatrol the forested hills around the valley where the dam was constructed. Locate and neutralize any threats in said area. While the removal of such threats is more important, capturing any such individuals could prove quite beneficial in minimizing the blame Joumaegakure would suffer for other failures.
SpeculationIf everything goes according to plan, Joumaegakure will gain access to new water routes through the country which lead through Jaw Country and into Valley Country. This could easily lead to a deepened relationship where Valley Country is more likely to hire Joumaegakure over other shinobi nations.
On the other hand, failure could easily drive away such business from Joumaegakure as well as render many businesses preparations to use the created waterways a waste of money. While the reputation hit could eventually be overcome, the immediate economical impact would be a painful blow.

Description:Aggressors: Destroy the thirteen structural braces on the dam. Use of the prepared demolition charge is preferred, but alternative means of destruction are acceptable. Avoid those defending or attending the event from realizing your identity so as to keep the focus on shinobi from Joumaegakure.
Defenders: Prevent all the structural braces from being destroyed and prevent as much damage to any of the braces as possible; as any damage will set back the project.
