While Dio hadn't anticipated the Hokage's reaction to be so ill-tempered, he did anticipate the chain reaction. Gritting his teach and clenching his abs, he weathered the Hokage's devastating blow, sliding backwards a few feet before clutching his throbbing gut. Lady Hokage had been known for her strength, but holy hell did he underestimate it; and this was more or less her mild side, in a serious fight, there would be no room to 'weather' such a blow.

While the physicality of her punch did him harm physically, her words bounced off his mental guard like pebbles to a mountain. In fact, the very notion garnered no reaction from the Hyuga, only a deadpan face and a labored breath.  

For the most part, he found himself questioning the Hokage's reprimandation , how could he have been lying to her is she had found Ira herself? The logic jaded his opinion of the Hokage a tad bit more as his emotionless mask restructured itself upon his face completely. Getting to his feet, he turned to Ira, who's fiery words lacked the heat to inflict any burns upon Dio's psyche, they never did. It was one of the reasons why he found the Sarutobi to be so lack luster. 

With two steps he crossed the distance between him and the group, letting a smirk dance itself upon his face. [color=Gainsboro][b]"You Sarutobi are all bark and no bite."[/b][/color] he chlorted, thinking on the Hokage's supposed words of wisdom. 

While the possible definitions provided lacked the 'meat' to possibly link its meaning, Dio could find some truth in thier words, Mu's that is, Ira's was full of youthful contempt; one of his many idiosyncrasies. Turning to the Hokage, Dio himself attempted to define the saying in simple terminology. [color=Gainsboro][b]"Survival of the fittest."[/b][/color] he added, crossing his arms across his chest as his curiosity peeked with the notion a mission.

[color=Gainsboro][b]"Lady Hokage, will we be briefed on the Mission standings?"[/b][/color] he began, realizing at that same moment that they were most likely going to receive no response on thier possible saying definitions.
