Senyo was on his way back to the clan compound when he suddenly received the memories of a Shadow Clone that had dispelled itself.
The corner of his lips lifted slightly. Hanabi really was clever.
Senyo's Shadow Clone kept tapping his fingers against the tabletop.
"...So why did you decide to tell me directly? Weren't you afraid they'd poison you to death?"
The moment Hanabi returned, she had come to the training ground to tell him everything.
She told him about the clan compound being infiltrated, her being abducted, the other party wanting information on the clan, and being fed poison.
The fear and despair that had been on Hanabi's face before had completely vanished.
Though she was somewhat nervous in front of Senyo, her account was clear and organized.
"The strongest medical ninja in the entire Shinobi World are all in Konoha. I don't believe any poison could stump our medical team."
Senyo's face showed approval. "Go on."
"They must have discovered a weakness in the defenses of our clan compound, or they have some special method that allowed them to take me out."
"We need to inspect the compound again so they can't get in next time."
Senyo nodded slightly, affirming Hanabi's words.
"Then what did they use to win you over?"
Hanabi's gaze flickered, and she shook her head. "Nothing. They only threatened me."
Senyo said nothing more. He merely extended an index finger and waved it a few times beside Hanabi's eyes.
"Get some sleep first. I'll deal with the poison in your body."
As Hanabi watched Senyo's finger, it seemed to multiply into countless afterimages. The voice by her ears gradually grew hazy, her head suddenly felt heavy, and she lost consciousness.
Senyo tapped Hanabi's arm, and the black line vanished at once.
