[hr]

Nobunaga was a bit deterred by the thought of facing enemy Ronin. His father was undeniably Ronin and such cretins only helped to sully his name. The young samurai ears perked at the mention of his team and the members within it. "Yamato and Aoi." Nobunaga was weary about Yamato mostly. He was a known hothead and despite giving faith into his honor, the two boys were very far apart. Nobunaga was never one to give into his ego and tout his abilities around whilst Yamato felt it easy to mouth off as much as possible letting his anger carry a conversation. He could be right at times but his words were so mired in anger that it left one to desire another individual. Unfortunately Nobunaga and Oichi would be subjected to Yamato's raging. 

They never turned to face Yamato but instead allowed their heightened hearing to pick up on the conversation between his teammates and jounin leader. Yamato seemed to hate Tsukiko's plan despite only knowing a bit of it and felt that it would work better with him as leader, even going so far as to insult Nobunaga and Aoi in the process. Tsukiko returned her own comments and even Aoi got in on it. There was no true reason for for such hostility within the team. They would fail before they even made it from Konoha. Oichi instinctively stood between Aoi and Yamato, looking adorable in it's over-sized armor, and let out a cute bark to break the tension. 

"I must say that this does not fill me with hope. There is truly no reason to argue. Aoi, please do not egg Yamato on. His rage is not one we need to deal with. Yamato, please there is no need to insult Tsukiko's plan. We placed in her team for a reason and she has an understanding far greater then our own. Give faith and have some respect. You are a chunnin for a reason." Nobunaga felt his final words would antagonize Yamato accidently and he kept his right hand on the hilt of his sword in a casual stance. He was prepared if Yamato did anything to him or Aoi. There would be no standing aside for Nobu if the hothead chunnin acted out.
