"[color=007236]She is incredibly tense,[/color]" noted Haruka matter-of-factly as he watched the younger chunin flicker away, his eyes glancing down towards his newly-hacked phone. "[color=007236]While I would refrain from saying that the situation has had its toll on her, she is far more affected than we are.[/color]"

Jittery, paranoid and overly active were all be words that the green-haired ninja could use to describe his compatriot, but he did not do so out-loud, for it would be impolite and unnecessary, especially as the possibility of these murders having been conducted by revived Jashinists served as a strong justification for Sentou's current state. He was, of course, slightly miffed that she had downloaded something onto his phone without asking for permission, as his current plan ... well, his current credit plan didn't support constant data usage, so that was probably another sixty mon down the drain for something that he had no idea how to use. Haruka didn't know if it would come in handy one day or not, but for now, it seemed be really just a waste of space on his old-fashioned phone.

He was drifting away again. Jashin. That was the current issue at hand. If they actually were Jashinists (he had yet to see key evidence, and would be working off the belief that it was likely, but not absolutely certain, that the cult was involved), then how had such a trained group escaped the notice of Konohagakure for so long, especially if they had harboured hostile intentions towards the village (the attacks on Konoha chunin could be construed as such). It was troubling, knowing that the entity he served had not known of a possible threat. And how, exactly, could Takeshi and Yamato be involved? He was unsure.

These were questions that plagued his mind.

Questions that he wanted solved yesterday.

"[color=007236]I suppose it would be best if we followed,[/color]" he added dryly, pocketing the handcuffs that Uchiha Sentou had given them.

Though the mysteries surrounding the case irked him, there was no point in dwelling too long on something that he had no control over. If he wanted to even get anywhere, then he would best follow the others and learn why exactly all of this had occurred.
