Chouji nods agreement. He had also taken into account everything Shikamaru told him about Bil, even if he wasn't here when it happened. "And I don't want to sabotage the bomb. I think we'd blow ourselves up. We'd have to target the people involved in making it to stop their plan without doing that, though, and that includes Bil." People are more reasonable opponents as far as Chouji is concerned. He knows nothing about the mechanisms of the bomb. He's in agreement with Ino when it comes to Bil. Shikamaru said he doesn't trust Bil, but that Bil has frequently worked to their advantage.

Besides, killing the scientists and tacticians wouldn't stop them from continuing plans. It's such a strange thought, and it means realigning instinctive strategies from years of training as a shinobi. Death isn't permanent.
