"Ah?"
The ninja who was about to deliver the antidote froze for a moment.
"Sir, we handled the bodies of our village comrades according to strict procedures. Only when the number reached a certain amount did we use sealing scrolls to transport them away. Rapid disposal would waste quite a few sealing scrolls."
"Do as I said. Go report it."
