Honestly though, I truly wonder if Hiyori's decision to delay the meeting with the rest is actually right! Momonosuke also wanted to do the same if I recall. Even Kinemon wanted the same with his wife where he did not want to return to her until the war is over
I have a weird feeling that all of those delayed meetings will end up creating holes in the alliances strategies
Because there could be a chance that oda may use some of these plots to render our alliances members or to make them face harder obstacles later on
I honestly feel that they should have met with everyone before the war, and also to give give them instructions of not being in specific areas ...etc.
Also, spoiler about Orochi knowing of the trading port that Kinemon talked about only means that it's another move from the traitor!
But I truly hope that Oda surprises us that Kinemon knew or had suspicions of the traitor listening to the plan, so basically this was only a trap made by Kinemon to expose the traitor! I hope this is the case and that Kinemon has a different plan
