After this we’ll probably never see him again. And if we do? Well accidents happen.[/color]”[/i] Ichika couldn't help but snigger and break from her furious tirade at Mizuraki's remark, the notion was comically ironic. More so than her friend could ever realise, not just due to the nature of many of the Uchiha's own past missions; but likely those of Hideo as well. Though she could not speak for the mysterious one's past, she could certainly make educated assumptions based on her own career, given the words that the two had exchanged moments before. [color=gold]"That they do my friend, that they do. I apologise for my outburst, it was unbecoming of me. It shan't happen again. Let us focus on organising this assault, we have numerous ideas in place; but no concrete plan as of yet. We must reach a consensus as soon as possible, lest we be discovered and cease to retain the element of surprise. Let us reconvene with the others."[/color] She said, ruffling her black hair and then straightening it out slightly with the gaps between her fingers as she spoke, a clear effort to calm herself and regain composure before setting off towards the highest concentration of Shinobi. It didn't take a genius to see that she was about to do something rash, and that much was clear to Mizuraki. [color=gold]"Everyone gather around. I note a lot of talk and ideas being thrown around, and whilst these ideas are excellent; we have yet to formulate an actual plan. I am disappointed. I had hoped we would resolve this sooner, and because we have not done so collectively, [b][I]I[/I][/b] shall do it for you."[/color] She ordered, her anger and frustrations both audible and visible despite her best efforts to sully those feelings, as the various Shinobi present began to converge on her location. [color=gold]"Starting off with the diversion, I believe that Mizuraki's proposal was the best. The usage of Katsuyu as a form of vessel to transport a strike team to garner the attention of our foes is an excellent idea. It will be less chakra intensive on her than creating a dragon would be for me, and will provide a greater surface area for the team to stand atop. Botan-dono, you and Mizuraki-san shall lead your team from Kumo, and the Genin from Team 7, minus Bakuto, but accompanied by Tomoyuki from my own team. Mizuraki made an interesting point in thag the youngling of my clan would wreak havoc in the caves. Meanwhile Team 5, with the addition of Bakuto and I shall accompany Hideo into the caves, along with a-"[/color] Ichik had begun, uncompromising and unrelenting in her explanation before being interrupted by a stray voice. [I]"You will not be in the caves. We need our strongest members taking the beach. You, Mizuraki, and Botan will be leading the ocean assault. Reaching the beach is only step one and you will have to be fresh enough to not die immediately."[/i] Hideo chimed in nonchalantly. [color=gold]"Your objection is noted, and you make an excellent point, although I could probably storm the beach alone.[/color] She replied to the Anbu agent, her voice full of confidence as she spoke, before winking at him. [color=gold]"Therefore, Yue, Natsuo and Bakuto will accompany Hideo, alongside a retinue of shadow and wood clones conjured by Mizuraki and I, if anybody else present is capable of such jutsu, you should also contribute." [/color] Ichika finished, looking over everyone present. At some point throughout her briefing, although she did not know when. Ichika's temper had flared so much that she had inadvertently activated her Sharingan. Upon realising this, she closed her eyes and allowed the fabled Dōjutsu of the Uchiha to revert to normality before reopening them again. [/cell][/row][/table]
