Shinobu grinned, leaned against the table and said "what if the guide book is wrong? What if the betas information is flawed? What if the bosses room is actually on level 13? Or such? Then we could just be wasting our time searching the 20th floor over and over. Plus there's good treasure and experience. We can't just go to the top, what if we miss something important?" She shrugged, 

She was silent a minute "as for a leader" she said softly "only one or two people I've met would be excellent for this. I'm too demanding to be a raid leader, Violets too shy, Koba is too much...in your face, and the others just don't have an inclination to be a leader, you wouldn't be good Umichi, while you seem to be good at leading, I doubt you could inspire thirty or fourth people. No, the person we need, needs to be friendly. Needs to take advice and give it, needs to treat people like they are the only ones in resistance when they talk to her, they need charm and grace, self-confident, and admiration" her eyes roamed over the group, and Suki found herself frowning. 

Throughout their travels....Suki shook her head. 

"You already know who should be the leader. Without them, you wouldn't all be here together. Umichi, asides from the fact that Suki's cute and you obviously like her, I can think of another reason why you whisked her away, at least from what you have told us. She stopped, hesitated, and looked at the crowds concern, caring, and fear, not for herself, but for others. That is what makes a great leader. Without her, Paka wouldn't be here-you gotta think, even if they are family, what has inspire such loyalty and devotion to Suki? She probably doesn't even know it, but people migrate to her. It isn't something you notice, until you watch it from afar. You guys wouldn't have rescued Yui, if you didn't know Suki, and by extension, didn't know Paka. An endless circle" Shinobu shrugged again, rising "I should head back. Think on what I've said"

Suki was frowning, and she shook her head again, "I'm not more a leader then a mouse is to a cat" she said as Shinobu walked away. "She's crazy"
