Hinata struggled down from the table and said to Samui, "Samui, I'm going to find Sakura. I'll come see you tomorrow. Bye!"
Without waiting for Samui to answer, Hinata hurried outside at a run.
Hinata was still a child, but thanks to Hyuga Hiashi's upbringing, she took punctuality seriously.

Uchiha Yin watched Hinata run out, then activated the Mind's Eye of the Kagura and followed her movements. Kaguya, seated in Samui's chair, activated her Byakugan and tracked Hinata as well.
