I feel like there is some misunderstanding on both our parts here.
Quote:
The scouts he had sent to the village, after hearing rumors of battle echoes, would come back in less than 1 hour and a half, and so, before they were back to report, given the castle was calm and silent, Itsumi finally had time for himself, maybe to rest a little.
From my perspective, Itsumi is not waiting for reports. He planned a coordinated pre-dawn raid/attack on the Lion clan that he was/is going to lead and thus needs to leave now.
Or am i not in charge of troops directly but of this city/town Shiro Daidoji?
