"No need, this team is made up of decoys of some sort - The real objective is the Torture and Interrogation Division's HQ. See how they're not moving? They've been paralyzed before you even shot them, or they might be puppets; Suna has those. As it is, keep watch on them while I go."

Before Hikari could respond, the veteran Jonin left, leaping through the rooftops in the direction of Torture and Interrogation HQ.

...They weren't puppets. Hikari was sure of that, her Byakugan would have perceived that. It was possible they'd been paralyzed even before she shot them, however, but...for what purpose had their enemy purposely sabotaged themselves? It did not make sense. Either they had been subjugated by an irresponsible Konoha shinobi who had just left them unattended, or there was a third party at play here.

Satoshi's deduction about them being decoys made sense though, and she wished she could take a look at the T&I HQ. Unfortunately, that building was outside the scope of her Byakugan radius unless she switched to telescopic vision, but that would mean she could not keep an eye on the five shinobis she had incapacitated. She supposed she should just leave it to Satoshi...

It was then Hikari noticed two of her academy students, Shinya and Lin, were heading towards where the five shinobis were. She had noticed them in the range of her Byakugan vision, but she hadn't thought they were heading there.

She sighed as she put away her bow and arrows before using Body Flicker to where they were.

Hikari landed in front of Shinya and Lin, between the two of them and the five Suna shinobis.

[color=fff79a]"Shinya, Lin, I am unsure whether you are here due to coincidence or you noticed something was amiss. If it's the latter, then well done. However, please vacate the premises and return home. Do not speak of this to anybody else. I trust I do not have to reiterate the importance of secrecy?"[/color]

Sinya watched as Lin suddenly tumbled into the ground. Despite his antics, Shinya was well aware that Lin was among the more skilful ones in their class, therefore, his sudden tumble into the ground must mean that there was something unexpected ahead. As such, rather than hurrying to help Lin—fall from this height was pretty harmless—Shinya opted to stop and took stock of his surroundings.

Not that far from them were five suspicious shinobis. From what Shinya could made out, all five had been incapacitated by arrows. Still...there was this nagging sense that something more was going on, the insects inside him were growing restless. Still...they were incapacitated, so perhaps it was safe to approach?

[colour=ee6262]“Are you seeing this? What’s up with these, losers?”[/colour] Lin suddenly shouted as he approached the five incapacitated shinobis.

Shinya lightly shook his head out of exasperation.

[color=0072bc][i]'Good grief, approaching without giving a second thought...'[/i][/color] he thought.

Well, since Lin had already approached, he supposed he might as well follow. He jumped through the branches before landing beside Lin.

He took a closer look at the five shinobis. It was then, he realized that it was not the arrow that had them paralyzed. To be sure, they would not be walking any time soon—if ever—with these arrows, but they had been already paralyzed before the arrows hit them. In fact, the cause of the paralysis was clear to Shinya now. This was why his insects stirred. There were familiar traces of chakra around. These shinobis were incapacitated by one of his clan's techniques, or rather, a similar technique utilizing insects.

Still...it was weird. If it was incapacitated by someone of his clan, why leave them alone? They were still alive, protocol after live capture of hostile forces were to have them under observation until they could be put in confinement.

A burst of chakra surprised Shinya, and he immediately prepared for ambush. Before long, however, he realized it was one of his academy teachers, Hikari. Shinya immediately felt relief. This was a complicated situation and now someone with more authority was here, he could defer to her.

[color=fff79a]"Shinya, Lin, I am unsure whether you are here due to coincidence or you noticed something was amiss. If it's the latter, then well done. However, please vacate the premises and return home. Do not speak of this to anybody else. I trust I do not have to reiterate the importance of secrecy?"[/color] Hikari said.

Shinya nodded, [color=0072bc]"Of course, Sensei. We will do as you ask. Before that, however, I feel the need to inform you that these people had been paralyzed through one of my clan's jutsu or something of similar nature."[/color]
