For a moment, Nobunaga narrowed her eyes at Novak's willingness to parlay when he had nearly been struck by an arrow. However, it seemed like his words had thrown off the hunters more than she expected. Some very interesting words there, words that she would have to have something of a conversation with him over.

Regardless, the most important thing is that they were not paying any attention to her at the moment. Thus, using the poor visibility and Novak's distraction, the petite girl quickly closed the distance between herself and the group, going to the left and around rather then taking a straight path towards them.

When she saw one of the hunters begin to move, she was already breaking into a sprint, drawing her katana as she moved, swinging it upwards... and stopping, just in front of the hunter's neck.

"I think it would be best if you took a step back and considered my ally's words more carefully," she began, crimson eyes examining the hunter who had apparently lost his patience, "Or you'll find yourself missing something very precious."

To be honest, Nobunaga would rather have ended the man's life right then. However, killing him outright without giving him a chance to reconsider would likely draw the anger of his allies.

Getting information out of them would be easier if they were alive and cooperating, not that the girl had any qualms with more brutal methods of information acquisition if necessary.
