I'm not certain that this would be the wisest tactical decision so soon after you raised the possibility of all of you ambushing me.

But, I suppose I may as well raise your fighting chance just slightly. To start with, you tend to rely on your close range attacks and Tokunaga's abilities too much. If we were to battle, so long as I could keep my distance... well, that would result in quite the dreadful outcome for you, now, wouldn't it?
