"Damn it. Of all times, why now?"
As the increasingly distinct ache and swelling in her lower abdomen surged into her mind, Senju Hi Shin pressed her legs together, her pretty face beneath the mask flushing bright red from holding it in.
She really wanted to use the bathroom.
Restlessly shifting her raised hips, Senju Hi Shin bent slightly forward. Aside from an inexplicable shyness in her eyes, there was even more confusion.
This was too strange. Logically, an elite ninja like her should not have been unable to endure something like this.
Back when she was on infiltration missions, she had once set a proud record of going three days and three nights without eating, drinking, or relieving herself. Only after successfully beheading the enemy had she finally let loose and comfortably performed a Water Release that lasted nearly five minutes.
But right now, less than half an hour had passed since she last used the bathroom, and she had not drunk anything suspicious in the meantime...
Wait!
Recalling the full-ice lemon water she had taken from Uchiha Gin, Senju Hi Shin's gaze instantly sharpened. That was the only thing she had drunk today.
She had found the culprit who drugged her!
"You naturally evil old Uchiha bastard!"
Senju Hi Shin tightened her fists, wishing she could fly back right now and stab the "culprit" twice.
"My Lady Hi Shin?"
Seeing that Senju Hi Shin had not only ignored him for ages but was also muttering something under her breath, Danzo immediately raised his voice.
"Hiss..."
Nearly frightened into "wetting herself" by that shout, Senju Hi Shin turned back with a gloomy expression, the chill in her tone clearly audible.
"Stay far away. Don't come and drag me down. The next battle isn't something you can take part in."
