[b][i]Satoshi Shimura[/i][/b]

In an alternate universe, the exact same scenario was happening [i]in Suna[/i], only with Konoha trying to rescue one of their own instead of the reverse. As Satoshi went to his desk and began writing down the information held by his possible self, information he may not retain in his memory once he dispelled his technique, he suddenly realized that this was not a coincidence: There might - might - be something or someone stoking the flames of war across multiple villages and nations.

Driven by the urgency of this knowledge, Satoshi almost forgot to end his transformation after writing down what he knew. But he managed to do so before opening the curtains of his window, then the window itself, then conspiciously rooftop-jumping towards where one Hikari Hyuuga was taking potshots at the enemy. Landing just beside the Hyuuga heir, Satoshi spoke bluntly, "They're not after the students or the civilian population of Konoha; they want our prisoner."

He hid the fact that in that possible universe/timeline, Konoha had sent an infilitrator with an identical mission to what the Suna Ninja had in this universe; therefore Satoshi had managed to find out what this mission was... But that raised too many questions about his technique and what exactly it was capable of, so he was not revealing it.

Uzumaki Ren took a more direct approach to Mu; the boy went over to his fellow Ninja student and poked him directly in the forehead, before saying, "If Lin psyched you out, don't let him do that. I've seen you make those neat wooden devices that can be used as weapons and also tools for taijutsu and I think they're very creative and effective - You just need to make more of them and make them better. I mean, seriously, I'd love to have you on my team when we graduate, and I'm not just saying that because I feel sorry for you or because you're cute - Ignore that last part, [i]please[/i]."

He then took a deep breath and said firmly, "Look, point is, you can be a great ninja if you push past Lin making you cry. So believe in yourself."

[i]Don't add anything corny, Uzumaki Ren![/i] the young man thought before he looked at Kasumi's frowning face and spoke, "Are you worried about something? If so, you look like we should worry too; you look like my Mom when there's actual danger going on..."
