Tashi was silent when Aimi made her comment about the attack, a smart girl she can realize she is correct in assumption but for better Tashi does not comment any further about the subject. It is natural for smaller village ask aid from bigger village if they are targeted by a attack which feels beyond their ability.<br/><br/>When Aimi talked about her origins it reminded Tashi that his village may not like their present friend, even if she is missing nin and they are generally disliked everywhere by leadership in villages. He rolls out his bedroll onto the ground and he says; "Yeah, even if Konohan and Tanigakure are in good terms and allies they cannot let us wander in their territory. Not because they would not trust us but because if something happens to us while in their territory it makes a political mess.<br/><br/>Aimi, it's better if you stay for now away from River Country and from Tanigakure, stick with Mari and Kaname once we part ways. The attack which occurred had assailant which may had been connected to Suna, not member of sand village but a mercenary working for them. It's not confirmed but I do not want you get arrested by the daimyo's guards." Of course what he said goes against his village interest but he cannot with good heart on purpose deceive Aimi and lure her get arrested and interrogation, no doubt not in kind manner, by investigation team just because she once belonged to Suna and had left village behind her. Even if she is not spy, the investigation team may torture secrets out from her regarding Suna village military setup or pry secrets from her body through surgery. Not doubting a second if given reason to, his daimyo would approve said operation.
