The Hokage's words gave Dio an unusual sense of foreboding, it never meant well when a lesson was learned after a ninja mission as it usually involved a near death experience or something along those lines. Whatever deeper meaning they would somehow inherit during this mission better had not involve getting eaten or eating something else in some way shape or form.

Much to his dismay, the Hokage only succeed in drawing out the sense of uncertainty in his chest. Keeping the mission secret? Rank changes on the fly? It all seemed a but much for a Genin and two Chunin, although the Hokage stood as five Jonin in one, it still didn't ease the uncertainty that started to settle in on his shoulders with each passing moment. It wasn't fear that overcame him, it was the agitation that came with the territory; speaking upon subjects in such a manner would always bring forth emotions that hindered and pulled some down, a reality that Dio didn't believe in himself, or allowed himself to.

Upon receiving the mission schematics though, he couldn't help but feel a bit of fear. It wasn't everyday that one went looking for a tailed-beast on enemy territory; it posed all kinds of dangers, certain death possibly being one of them. Despite his many concerns, one stood out among them all, should the Hokage tread on enemy territory searching for an object of near-unlimited power? Such a thing could insight war if the situation wasn't handled with the utmost care. On another note, if the Hokage died on his watch, their Clans would be disgraced, war would come; just the repercussions were suffocating, less not mention searching for the beast itself.  

While his mind wrapped itself around the ramifications of the mission itself, Dio's outward appearance was the epitome of serenity. Even as Ira voiced out his opinion, he remained silent for a moment, thinking on the rational for a moment before picking it apart.  

[color=Gainsboro][b]"With all due respect, the Hokage makes a valid point. With my eyes I can see much farther then any of you can."[/b][/color] Dio paused, his white eyes falling upon Ira. [color=Gainsboro][b]"And lets not forget what we are doing here. We are to only mark the Eight-Tails location, the farther we keep from it, the better of we will be, and with my eyes we can do that without to much trouble."[/b][/color] Dio's gaze fell upon the Hokage before turning to Mu. [color=Gainsboro][b]"If I might add Lady Hokage, I suggest Mu takes rear guard, he actually has the experience and skill to take up the position."[/b][/color] If one was listening closely, the slight edge in his voice could be heard upon the words 'experience' and 'skill', both bites at Ira.

In the end it didn't matter, Dio took the lead the whole way north and despite the Hogake's presence, his agitation never the less heightened.
