The robot could hear all they were doing, and didn't comprehend why it was such a difficult task for Gin to accomplish. Evidently, the chuunin was a let down, being unable to fulfill what he signed up for and now causing difficulties in the execution of the mission. As it seemed hopeless, N.C.4 was about to intervene when the sound of footsteps coupled with a rather solemn discourse caused it to freeze. For once in a very long time, it felt uncertainty of its own when hearing the voice of Chihiro through the headset, the details of the mission clearly indicated the ties she held with this family. It was enough that she served as bait for the operation, but now she was given a job she wasn't supposed to have. Junshiro could only put this on Gin's back, his incompetence causing collateral damage that could have easily been avoided. His sobs left no effects to N.C.4's conscience as it simply waited for them at this point. No patrol approached the area despite the fog, possibly due to the fact that most were outside, and the few remaining had no idea what was going on. Though eventually one would alert the others, hence the time limit imposed by the robot to hurry it up and avoid any unnecessary confrontations with hostiles. With that said, a stray maid was trying to guide herself through touch while calling out for anyone if they could hear her. N.C.4 could, but no one else was around. As she laid a foot on the room filled with bodies, a wire linked to both edge of the rooms tightened itself and would cause her to cleanly slice her throat as she walked into it without a chance of seeing it. "[color=khaki]I recommend you hasten your retreat.[/color]" It spoke through its headset, feeling rather preoccupied that they weren't being as efficient as desired, added to that Chihiro's obvious emotion distress at this point. Just as they seemed to reach the stairs, Chihiro almost mechanically dropped her bomb on a night table in the hallway, insuring a decent spread in explosive reach. The robot would barely be able to capture the sound of a charging man as a security official managed to tackle Chihiro down through the stairs as she remained catatonic after the events, a knife diving into her hip as they crashed down. The event was fast, but as the man stood in a frenzy of fear, he attempt to stab the princess to death despite not knowing who he tackled only to have is upper body cut up into three pieces, and then to twelve as they fell over to a new set of wires. The Hyuuga was drenched in blood, but it couldn't be helped considering her position. The robot quickly ran to her and picked her up in a fireman's carry. Its superior strength allowed it to perform this with ease without being slowed down. "[color=khaki]Mister Gin. We're leaving through exit C. I detect reinforcements approaching the main entrance.[/color]" It said as it started to speed walk through the correct corridor, as if it had memorized the entire layout of the building from just the plans. It used of course its thermal visor to detect such people and to coordinate itself through the area despite having the mist active. They would quickly reach the exit, Chihiro's wound already gaining enough size to have consequent blood loss. Luckily, they had planned to hunker down at a safe house nearby as things would cool down and searches would die out. When reaching the exit, the bot removed a small detonator from its pocket as the fresh, clear air enveloped its lungs. It was night, so detecting them wouldn't be as easy, especially with the mist distracting most inside. By then, it swiftly dash through a few neighboring houses, as a medium sized village was immediately linked to the massive castle. They had the cover, and now, all it had to do was to press the single button on the detonator. With one click, a bright flash occurred as the three spherical bombs exploded in sync, essentially engulfing the whole structure into flames. A few seconds later, it would have most of its foundation crumble down from all the damage it had taken at once. N.C.4 remained motionless for a few seconds to witness the success of the explosion. Afterward it dash through alleyways as most villagers awoke from the groundbreaking noise of the catastrophe they had caused. Gin was to follow N.C.4 to remain as inconspicuous as possible before they'd reach an old looking, rustic building with a strange key lock. N.C.4 had the corresponding key which it would use to unlock. Quickly, to closed the door behind the group, insuring no one followed them. It didn't waste time however as it laid Chihiro on the couch of the living room, immediately removing her clothes to inspect the wound. No vital spots were hit, but she was still bleeding out. Removing a few wires from its body, it made a few knots on the girl's flesh to limit the bleeding before a much thinner strand would protrude out of its index finger. "[color=khaki]Hiro. I recommend biting on this. I will not lie. This will hurt.[/color]" It passed her a wooden stick laying on a nearby table. They had no anesthetic and it had no time to go look for some. It jabbed the stitch into her flesh and muscle before commencing the operation. A strange aura emanated from the robot as it started to move its hand wielding the stitch in such a blindingly fast way that it almost seemed like magic. It was healing Chihiro rather quickly with what seemed to be advanced medical ninjutsu, but it seemed entirely focused in the job and energy consuming. Even a drop of sweat would drip out of the normally superhuman being. After about a minute, the sutures would almost entirely link the damaged flesh to insure maximum recovery. Nonetheless, the pain was there and it would feel like just coming out of an operation. "[color=khaki]You will live. I must insist on you consuming an extra amount of food and liquids as you've lost a good amount of blood. The damage to your body isn't severe, however overexerting yourself will be painful and may break my sutures. It is best to stay put. Mister Gin shall tend to your needs in the meantime.[/color]" It told Chihiro, more than likely in great pain, as it took off the clothes imposed by the Hyuuga which were all drenched in blood and went back to wearing its typical black attire. It felt more comfortable in it and would feel at ease when overwatching from a window if anything suspicious occurred outside of their base. As expected, search teams have already been scattered to either help possible survivors in the castle, or were looking for fugitives possibly linked. It was also anticipated that multiple perimeters were established give the influence Cho had. They weren't going to take this lightly.
