Nobunaga can't make up his mind about that at all. Finally, blatantly, and with obvious self-awareness, but no no emotions attached (surprising or not), "Did it benefit him? Doesn't sound like that would be a bad reputation. If the destroyed village was popular, then the infamy should have led to more fear he could use the power of to crush those like the true perpetrators." Complete with hand gestures. "Or was it like the Count of Monte Cristo, and she specifically was led astray by this so-called crime?"

Yes, so-called. A small genocide, no big deal.
