Even though inside he was slightly surprised when Hikari told him that she did have a way of getting information from the red head, he doesn’t allow it to show on his face. In fact, his expression right then was one might say looked to be extreme boredom, a frown tugging at the corner of his lips, and a deadened and uninterested look within his eyes. He might be a tad interested, but he wasn’t about to ask about it, to be honest he couldn’t care less. His own power was truly all he cared of, and if someone else had powers he hadn’t so be it. That’s how it has been, is now, and always will be.<br/><br/>A second of silence follows, before Hikari spoke again, saying that she would need him to keep an eye out for any unwanted intruders while they were gathering intel from the girl, who was slowly starting to show signs of life, despite her eyes already being open. A shrug from Kuronotsurugi was to say that he would do what he had to, not bothering with words this time. Standing from where he had been kneeling, he goes back to the spot above in the tree he had been in moments earlier, as if to say ‘do what you have to and get it over with.’<br/><br/>His eyes scan the eastern horizon, and was surprised that time had flown. Just barely the rays of the rising sun could be seen peaking through the distant trees. They didn’t have much time left, it would almost be sunrise. And no doubt by that point the red headed female’s comrades or partners or whatever she chose to call them would be coming to look for her no doubt. Because even if they were going to punish her, they wouldn’t want to leave her on her own for too long, just in case something like what Kuronotsurugi and Hikari were about to do now happened.<br/><br/>For a split moment he glanced down, to see how the process was going, but doesn’t let his attention be diverted for long. Instead, he looks up once again, forms the clone seal with his hands, and four shadow clones of himself appear. They didn’t need to speak at all to know what to do, bounding away, going to different points around the area, north, south, east, and west, to keep an eye out, all the information they saw being rebounded back in to Kuronotsurugi’s mind. He had the center spot, the tree being the focal point of the center. Now, he waits, ‘til it was his turn to use his Sharingan.<br/><br/>Down below, the red haired girl was more awake then ever, and she blinks in surprise when she sees where she was. Trying to move, she found she could not, as her hands, arms, legs and feet were bound, and there was no use trying to scream either, as her mouth was gagged. Narrowing her eyes, she glared at the girl in front of her, not looking up to where Kuronotsurugi was. Who were these shinobi? Quickly her eyes scan the body of the white haired female in front of her, and seeing the glint of a headband, and on it was the marking of the leaf village, Konoha. Interesting, so it was a village in which Orochimaru has had his eyes set on for quite some time…What were they doing here? She begins to struggle again, cursing in her mind that her fans were tucked away in the band of her kimono. She could use a jutsu…but that would take time. What was she going to do? She couldn’t let them get information…Because she was sure that was what she was here for. She just hoped that Arashi and Moguzo would be sent out soon to find her…
