Rather than your ammo and fuel, I'm far more worried about your bucket count. You shouldn't worry too much about the resources. The event is 3 weeks long, and you can always sparkle your expedition fleets to gather additional resources more efficiently.

If you are going for an easy clear, you should focus making a small fleet that will be able to handle all the branching rules. Easy will not have ship locking so, so you'll be able to get away with a small fleet.

DD: Pick a total of 8 destroyers you want to level. Add Yukikaze to your list of destroyers to level for her high luck with the need to kai 2. Avoid using the Mutsuki-class at least for now, since they are fairly weak. Eight destroyers are a lot, but you may use 4 destroyers in an escort fleet in addition to 4 more used for the support fleet. You might get away with 6 DDs.

CL: Pick 2 light cruisers. In your case, it will be Jintsuu and Sendai. Getting Sendai to kai 2 should be your top priority. Sendai's night equipment will be used on almost every boss node.

CLT: Pick 2. Start leveling Ooi too if she drops for you. Don't fret if she doesn't drop.

CA: Pick 2. Maya and another CA. I don't want you to use Furutaka, since her stats are low. Go with your already leveled Atago, or a use Myoukou-class if you are willing to start over.

CAV: Pick 2. Suzuya, and your choice between Mogami and Kumano. Getting Tone-class to kai 2 isn't your top priority at the moment.

CV and CVL: Mix and match for a minimum of 6. Have a minimum of 3 CVL and at least 3 CV. For your CVL, get 2 fast CVLs and 1 slow CVL. Don't use Houshou. Level Ryuujou suspected special branching. Level Junnyou for her Reppu at level 80.

BBs: total of 8. Level all Kongou class for suspected special branching. Have 4 for a combined fleet and another 4 for support.

Equipment: Get more AP shells, Type 3 shells, and Reppus. You'll want 6 AP shells, 4 Type 3 Shells, and 8 Reppus eventually. Balance out the development to suit your needs.

Highest priority stuff to take care of: Sendai to level 60> Yukikaze to high level>AP/Type3/Reppu Crafting>Level your entire core fleet to level 40>Sparkle your expedition fleet so you don't starve out of resources>Keep leveling your destroyers.

Good luck, and cross your fingers on getting that Akizuki-class!
