Overhearing Mizuraki's grandiose display of protective candour as she stood alongside Hideo and , Ichika couldn't help but be slightly irritated. While she too, wished to do everything in her power to keep the children safe, the Uchiha didn't believe it necessary to make a fuss about such things. Promises of survival whilst on a mission were hollow in her own experience. Kasumi-sensei had said something in a similar vein during the third great war, and that promise did nothing for her twin brother. Although, a light smile crept onto the tall woman's face as she dispelled her criticism of Mizuraki's optimistic demeanour, given the fact that she was ten times the Shinobi that the Kasumi Uzumaki could ever have dreamed of becoming. 

[i] [color=lightblue]"I am coming with, and no that isnt a request.  I need to know what is going on, and why certain shinobi were assigned to this mission..."[/color]

[color=#C04848]"Right. Are you going to tell us just what exactly is going on out here?"[/color] [/i] 

Ichika understood her colleagues' frustrations, but she firmly believed that such behaviour was unacceptable from Shinobi whilst out on a mission. As much as she agreed, and currently held tremendous disdain for the one calling himself Hideo...They had to accept things for how they were. Tenshi in particular had begun to rile Ichika, showing no regard for tue chain of command and an immense sense of entitlement at every opportunity. Keeping her composure as Hideo and Nakano had begun to finally explain the mission parameters in greater detail, Ichika waited for an appropriate moment to speak as Tenshi began to explain his own plan of attack. Taking the information in, and beginning to formulate her own ideas for the mission ahead before speaking. His sound strategy helped calm Ichika slightly, but not enough to prevent the scolding that would ensue. 

[color=gold]"Mizuraki-san, Hokori-San. Whilst I share some of your feelings, such behaviour is unbecoming of shinobi. You should [i]both[/i] know better."[/color] She had said, scolding the Jōnin and Chuunin of whom she was their elder, in an almost motherly manner before continuing. [color=gold]"Another option that we may explore; are there any among us whom are capable of summoning amphibious creatures of some description? I fear that if we approach directly through a tunnel that our targets are themselves utilising, even if we split our forces with a diversion as Hokori-san surpisingly adeptly suggests, the tunnel team may walk straight into a trap. We could potentially circumvent this predicament by avoiding the tunnel all together, whilst keeping out of their line of sight as we approach. Better they be caught entirely unaware by the full force of our might than a splintered ppercentile of it."[/color] Taking a pause after providing both her own plan of action, and gracing Tenshi with the closest thing to a compliment that he would currently receive from the Uchiha; Ichika momentarily glanced sideways at the Genin, assuring herself that the children were playing nice with each other. A brief smile showing through her cold demeanour as they were seemingly doing so. 

[color=gold]"As for one of our targets, Ondori Toutenkou is a brute of a man. But do not let this fool you, he is highly intelligent and peculiarly for a missing-nin is known for keeping his word. Seeing absolutely whatever contract or deal he has bargained for through to the end. No matter the cost. He will be a dangerous foe indeed. There have been reports that his preferred method of fighting is through the usage of his chicken summon. But as amusing as such a statement sounds, do not allow this factor to catch you unawares."[/color] She stated plainly as she ruffled her hair, referencing what information she had remembered regarding their target from the 'bingo book' that most high ranking shinobi were issued with. A document that the woman had become well acquainted with during a period of time wherein the majority of her missions consisted of assassinations.
