Having just arrived, Kakashi asked Asuma in puzzlement, "What's wrong with Kurenai?"
Asuma pointed to where the blade had vanished and said, "I don't know. It seemed like she saw something familiar, or maybe someone familiar."

She seemed to have a thousand things to say, but they finally became a single reproach. "So you finally decided to come out. Since you'd already returned to Konoha, why did you have to disguise yourself
