Order of priority

[Torrne]

I've seen a few situations where I would question priority in effects, and I have one in particular that would clarify a lot for me. Here it is:

If my opponent has Sakon (n-1244) in play and I begin my mission phase, my opponent must wait for me to take some sort of action before activating Sakon's effect, correct?

I ask for this reason: in a recent game, my opponent tried to activate Sakon's effect on my turn on an empty chain (while I was contemplating my options for the turn) to remove an Ambush ninja card from my Chakra area from the game. He then claimed that I would not have been able to respond to the effect by deploying it, because deploying a ninja is not a chain-able effect.

Bump in hopes that both of my questions will see answers today.

The turn player has priority. Your opponent cannot do anything until you take an action or end your phase.
