Tenten, standing nearby, saw a mature woman whose age was impossible to tell from her appearance. But she was beautiful, and she seemed so familiar with Luo Mang.
"Mang, is she your sister?"
"Uh, no..."
Luo Mang was stunned. He turned toward Tenten, unable to understand why she would guess that.
Even if she were his sister, shouldn't their hair at least be the same color? Hers was light blue, while his was jet-black. It didn't make sense no matter how he looked at it.
"We were just doing some training. But what are you doing here?"
Normally, someone wandering around the village without any particular grounds for trust would most likely be watched by the Anbu. How had Konan managed to wander all the way here? Especially when this place was so close to the hospital.
The hospital was already an important location, and with Hinata Hyuga staying there to recover from her injuries, it was even more critical.
There had already been signs of an attempted raid by Cloud Shadow Village to abduct Hinata Hyuga. Even if none of their people were taking part in the Chunin Exams, that didn't rule out them sending in undercover agents.
Caution was essential. Letting her wander over here alone really didn't seem reasonable.
Konan's expression stiffened at his words. A chance encounter was a good excuse, but explaining how she had gotten here for that chance encounter was indeed difficult.
After a moment of silence, Konan finally spoke.
"Well, Lady Tsunade didn't have time to keep me company, so I could only wander around on my own."
"Oh."
Luo Mang didn't believe her. Not in a million years.
But regardless of whether Luo Mang believed her, Konan had apparently convinced herself of her own excuse. She chose to ignore the issue
