Nodding solemnly as Mizuraki proposed her plans, smiling in wonder at the brilliance of her mind, and that certain [i] something[/i] that the woman had when she spoke. It was captivating to listen to her. Ichika wanted to kick herself for not suggesting a clone assault as the point came up, because between herself and the Senju Jōnin alone, they would be able to muster ten additional combatants; which would be more than enough to provide a significant distraction. Given the martial prowess of the two women, Ichika wagered that such an attack may even be enough to outright break the enemy lines. Though that was not a gamble she would be willing to stake the lives on nine children on. As Mizuraki finished speaking, Ichika looked over to the children, whom were seemingly mixing quite well when another possibility struck her. 

[color=gold]"There is also another option...we have among us the host of the one tail. It is fairly common knowledge that the Jinchuriki of that tailed beast is granted the ability to control sand. With Tomoyuki-kun's assistance, and that of anyone else present whom is skilled with earth-realease; I could form a great earth and stone dragon. With this method we could circumvent their defenses entirely by dropping into combat from above, I additionally believe that I should be able to hold the jutsu for long enough to provide aerial support, should we drop sequentially. Any among us with significant long-ranged jutsu could bombard the enemy position from above, whilst the more close ranged specialists can secure a landing zone. Ultimately, as our commander I believe that the decision lies with you, Hideo; and I shall support whichever course of action you believe is best to take."[/color] The Uchiha had said, elaborating upon her new idea as she went. In truth, Ichika believed that the aerial assault was the plan with the highest chance of success with fewest casualties. Although a frontal assault using her own and Mizuraki's clones as a first wave, whilst another team 'sailed' to the island upon the back of Katsuyu would likely yield a similarly high success/casualty rate. 

With nothing else to say and her opinions made clear, Ichika turned away from the group momentarily before taking a seat atop a small nearby rock formation, with a single knee bent and both feet solidly supporting her posture. Resting her right arm on the bended knee before closing her eyes, taking a moment to listen to her surroundings. The crashing waves around her, the songs of the birds, and the chattering of the children. All things that aided her in clearing her mind, and focusing. Now ready for the coming engagement.
