Saburo looked up to Takeshi as he took the chocolate bar and heard his story. He couldn't say he agreed to what Takeshi was saying. He took a bite of the chocolate bar as he turned back to overview the surrounding area. It was slowly dawning on him that he wouldn't be able to work with these people the way he intended. [color=415E79]“Arigato-gozaimas, Takeshi-kun. But if your mission was the most important mission to Konohagakure, you would abandon your team to save the village. It's a trade off between one or two people, and an entire village. And that.. is not your call to make, denoting we should always do what is in the best interest of Konohagakure, the village hidden in the leaves.”[/color]

Hideyoshi told them to continue, something that bothered Saburo although he wouldn't say as much. That had been his plan from the get-go, and they were only here because [i]he[/i] commanded Akio to. Saburo understood full well, and he could relate. Orders were meant to be followed, without criticism or doubt. He'd been taught that over and over in the 11th crops, follow without question, do as you are told, leave those who drag you down behind and complete a mission. But he was led by capable people, people who knew what was in the interest of Konoha. He wasn't lead by people that abandoned their team to chase personal glory, to attack people who had nothing to do without the mission at hand. He couldn't help but be critical of this would-be prodigy jonin, even if he'd been taught over and over to not be critical of superiors. Tsk. [i]He was failing his own beliefs.[/i] Saburo shook his head as he looked back to Hideyoshi. [color=415E79]“Hai, Hideyoshi-senpai. We will complete the mission on your orders, denoting I will lead the team to team Ayame as per order 2.51b of miss Ayame Choko's mission policies and manual.”[/color] Probably nobody else knew what Saburo was talking about, but unlike others, Saburo had spent the last night studying the mission set up in a detailed manner. He could list the objectives of every team, the expected situations, foreseeable risks (which were minimal, and Hideyoshi's injury certainly [i]wasn't[/i] part of it) as well as Yakuza involvement and a detailed set of 'orders' for each team. This manual and policy book that he'd studied was likely accesible to the others, if they knew where to look and who to ask for it. But probably they didn't.

Saburo felt good when he turned back to his old ways, of following orders and not being critical of Hideyoshi. He was jonin for a reason, most likely. He pushed the criticism back to the back of his mind, to rot and die. It was a relief to not have things like that weighing you down, as it made the mission easier since you could focus on issues at hand. Such as right now. [color=415E79]“Akio-chan, since Hideyoshi has put me in command, I wish to create a bunshin of that scroll.”[/color] Using some quick handseals he created a clone of the scroll, that appeared in his hand. It didn't have 'body' like a kage bunshin, since Saburo hadn't learned exactly how to do that yet. So it simply 'appeared' like the scroll and wouldn't have any actual weight or push behind it. It was a simple decoy.

He slung the scroll around onto his back. Then he stepped closer to Akio formed more seals. [color=415E79]“Please stay still, Akio-chan, denoting you should not move your body in any manner or way, unless we are attacked.”[/color] It was more than obvious what he meant but he clarified anyway. After the seals were formed he touched the scroll and did the same to the scroll as he had done to his 'faux' scroll. With a poof, the scroll transformed into a backpack, making it look like Akio was simply carrying supplies for the team.

[color=415E79]“Arigato-gozaimas, Akio-chan. Since I am the leader, I should carry the risk. Now, if we are trailed, they will think I have the scroll and attack me. In that way, I can sacrifice myself and die so you can continue the mission and rendezvous with team Ayame Choko. This will give us the maximum chance of succeeding the mission.”[/color] It seemed Saburo's self sacrifical tendencies came out yet again, yet he didn't seem sad that he put himself in the place of risk, rather he was happy to do it. 'A tactical death' he'd call it if he were still in the 11th corps. It was much different from a normal death, which would be meaningless and not offer the team any more chance at succeeding. A tactical death on the other hand [i]always[/i] accomplished a goal. 

Lastly Saburo nodded at Hideyoshi, indicating they were headed out. [color=415E79]“Plan 2.51b in action, Hideyoshi-senpai.”[/color] That said he turned around and took a running start only to jump off the building they were on. With rapid movements he jumped from roof to roof, expecting the others to be with him. Expected duration of travel was about 10-15 minutes, depending on how well Takeshi and Akio could keep up. They were lucky to not have expanded too much of their energy reserves and as such were still quite fit - then again escaping Yakuza wasn't too hard.
