It was nice to see that the others found just as much wrong with the stuff Tomoko had said as he did.  Why the leader of her village has chosen to send a desk ninja on something as important as this was beyond him.  He appreciated Michiko "stand up" for him, he'd express gratitude to the smaller girl later on when they were on the road... or in the trees as it were.<br/><br/>Kyo was talking now, saying rather... basic things, but drawing them out to make the whole plan sound elaborate.  Really though, checking out the last place their targets had struck was an elementary decision.  It was the freshest information on their targets, so naturally it'd be best to get there before the trail went cold.  The self designated leader spoke up after this.  "No time to waste then, we need to get moving and on the trail as fast as possible.  Might have been prudent of me to take charge like this, but someone has to.  Having looked over the dossiers of you all, and knowing my own skills, I've already come up with a formation to use.  Kyo in the front, he's best suited to Taijutu and Kenjutsu, and can meet a threat head on without needing to fall back for his techniques.  Tomoko is directly behind him, she's the closest thing we have to a support, while being able to fight at all ranges.  I'm on the right side of Tomoko, I can go anywhere and still be effective thanks to my skills in Ninjutsu and Kenjutsu.  Ren is on the left side of Tomoko, techniques are more suited for mid range or assassination, and he should be able to move around fast enough with those mirrors.  Michiko brings up the rear, she's a long range fighter through and through, so it's self explanatory."<br/><br/>Gazing around the room he asked  "Any questions or problems with that plan?  Another possible formation is myself in front and Kyo in the back, providing someone skilled in close combat to watch the front and the rear."<br/><br/>Narrowing his eyes at Tomoko though, he added  "And yes, this requires you leave your servants behind... or whoever the hell those guys were that carried you here."  Seriously though, a Shinobi being carried to her mission in a carriage?  What the hell was that?
