"Cough, could Kakashi have been poisoned to death?"
Yuhara, floating high in the sky, looked at the dense purple mist spreading through the mountain forest below and couldn't help worrying about it.
After Kakashi responded to one of Yuhara's remarks, he had gone completely silent. No matter how he looked at it, it didn't seem as though he had escaped the mist.

For example, Yuhara himself.
