Nanami looked at Nori "Sensei is right we should go eat. Right now is not the time for this, especially when its another teams mission. We can discuss this with lord Sasuke once were home. But we can't right now." Nanami was concerned Nori would force things, and she would use Genjutsu if Nori did "C'mon." She held Nori at her shoulder and arm. Not forcefully "Nothing good will come of this right now." Nanami concern was clear in her voice.

Nanami nodded to Shiroma, and slowly nudged Nori towards the ship. Still not forcing it, but she knew Sensei meant it, and she didn't want to see Nori get hurt. Well either way she was hurting. Nanami was well aware how strong Nori's feelings were for Sigmund, since she experienced them herself when she delved into her mind, in the cave "Lets go Shiroma... Nori."

Still there was this really bad feeling in the back of her mind. The Sigmund she had faced and heard about after he was turned. Sigmund would not have gone down that easy. Of course she didn't know if the fight was hard or not, so she couldn't say for sure. One thing she did know, Kotatsu would not let his brother go unless it was part of a plan of some sort.. The other reason she wanted to get Nori inside. So just incase they needed to regroup and be ready if an attack came.

Shiroma sighed as she was told her eyes were normal at least for her but then as Nanami talked about good she was about to add her two cents in when Nori turned and started running off toward the figures in the distance. Shiroma frowned and rushed after her only to have her stopped by Sarada. As the conversation turned Shiroma did what she did best, she listened and then frowned even more. It was clear what was going on at least as far as she could tell and sighed looking at Nanami and Sarada before stepping over to stand with Nori, not in front of her not blocking her not even touching her. Nori didn't need more lectures she was getting enough of those already. Her pale ice blue eyes looked at Nori with empathy and compassion just waiting to see what the girl decided to do, because she knew even if they could stop her now it wouldn't help things. Nori had to learn to stop herself.  She looked at Nori's eyes and smiled. "Do you need me to help?" It wasn't a threat it wasn't begging, it was a simple offer to help strengthen Nori since Shiroma knew how hard this must be, and it was about helping Nori get past it not forcing her to accept it but to empower her to be strong enough to fight it herself.

Fujii had stopped in his tracks when he noticed one of Sarada’s teammates was lunging towards them. He knew exactly what it was about and he had to stop entirely for them to address their situation first before he and his team could proceed. ”Sozui. Sakuya.” he called to them. ”Run ahead and help subdue Nori. You two are to ensure she doesn’t come close to our captive. Are we clear? She has an emotional attachment that will jeoprodize our mission if she interferes and comes into contact with him,” he explained further.

When he had been handed this mission from the beginning, it had been explained to him that Nori and Sigmund has been emotionally involved since childhood, much like the situation with Hokage Naruto and Lord Sasuke; Nori has the ultimate desire to save Sigmund at all costs, even if it meant defying orders and abandoning her own mission. That’s why this assignment had been given to him and not Sarada’s group; Nori was too involved for her own good. In a way it was sad because it was like reliving the fairy tale story of Sakura and Sasuke. However Sigmund’s case wasn’t his fault at all; he had no control on what he was doing and their Lord had willingly left and joined their enemies. In the end he redeemed himself and Fujiii couldn’t help but believe that Lord Sasuke would forgive this boy too.

Sigmund had been kept in check the entire journey back to the shore with Fujii’s electrical currents running through his hands. It paralyzed Sigmund’s nerves, kept his chakra in place and weak, his physical body too relaxed and enduring electrical shocks for a long period of time kept him uncounscious. The tranquilizer Sakuya has managed to create and administer was incredibly strong to keep his mind in a mental trance like coma. However Fujii wasn’t going to let his guard down with this one or the fact that the Snow just aren’t going to let them leave in peace. They entered and fought and he was sure they’ll have to leave and fight too.

As Nori felt her feet picking up just a little faster as she ran, she could clearly see the figure now that was in Fuji’s arms. It was him. It was Sigmund. She knew she hadn’t been crazy when she felt his presence. It had been faint, but it had been there. However, she dueenlynfelt herself getting pulled back in her arms, stopping her in her tracks. The familiar voice of Sarada came into her ear, but her mind wasn’t focused on her. Just the unconscious body of Sigmund. She just stood there, immobile wi5un her senses’s arms. Her hands curled into fists at her sides. So this was the mission the other team had. It had been for obvious reasons why they weren’t given that mission instead. They all had a connection to Sigmund. Her especially. And “...you knew. You knew from the start, sensei, that it would come to this,” she said in a low voice and as she felt her arms being loosened, Nori ripped them away from her and turned to look at her with a subtlety pained yet angry expression. “You knew that I would see him eventually when the team brought him here. Did you really think you were going to be able to hide him from me? You know of our connection. Did you not think I wouldn’t be able to sense him?”

When she felt both Nanami and Shiroma urge her and plead with her to the ship, Nori pushed their hands away and took a few steps away from them. “Is this one of your tests, sensei? To see if I could control myself when I saw him? I never planned to interfere with anything, but you brought him here. I didn’t look for him. If you knew or even thought I would do something, then why are they even here?” Nori looked over at the other squad and then to Fuji then to her own leader and squad with a solemn expression. “Even if I wanted to do something, it’s not as if I could, so I don’t need anyone to keep me away from him and be watched over. I’m not a child,” she said aloud and then looked to Sarada. “I’ll keep myself away from him, so just...let me be by myself.” Nori cut herself off mid sentence before she started to walk backwards and turn around to walk back towards the ship.

Sarada has remained quiet as Nori went off on her. While it was out of line and Nori was expressing her personal feelings on the matter. Sarada really didn’t pay attention to what Nori attempted to do: scold her own sensei. She went on explaining she wouldn’t do anything but her actions had said otherwise. ”For someone who says they weren’t going to do anything....then why are you even angry or the slightest upset?” she pointed out before barely even glancing at her. ”Stay out of my sight. I’m suspending you until further notice. You don’t ever come at your commanding officer like this nor do you question anything a squad leader does or doesn’t do. If this were a test, you failed. You state you wouldn’t have done anything but here you are, defending your actions when clearly that’s exactly where you were going,” she hissed before turning her back on the young girl. ”Remain on the ship. You are not to leave for any other reason unless I tell you to. You want to pout and act like a child, then You’ll surely get treated like one,” she muttered that last part before walking off, leaving behind all of them and heading towards Master Fujii and his group.

As Sarada met Tsukiko's gaze, the former Snow mercenary couldn't help but smirk, winking as she relaxed, laying back on top of the boat like she had been, casually watching the approaching team with minor interest. Three genin, it looked like, with the fourth being their Jonin. It seemed as though they'd just gotten done with a mission, and with yet another captive - Though the Ronin wouldn't exactly call herself a captive. Merely a 'cooperative asset,' if anything. She was content to remain like that before the redhead in Sarada's group, 'Nori' was the name she had spied, started towards the other team.

Things unfolded quickly.

With Sarada glancing her way, Tsukiko shifted much more noticeably, vaulting off of her hidey hole and blurring to a standstill next to Sarada, facing the Uchiha's team instead of the newcomers. A hand casually rested on the hilt of the katana hanging from her side, though it seemed more a lazy comfort-move than any sort of threatening gesture. She remained silent right up until the two moved to depart. Glancing over her shoulder, she casually called out. "I'll make sure she don't do anything stupid." Before looking at the other two students. "Dunno what's going on, but its probably best ya give yer sensei some room t'talk with an equal, aye? In the meantime." She slowly raised her arms, stretching back until she heard several resounding cracks. "I'll go see about Red."

Casually strolling off, the jonin-level missing-nin had no trouble finding Nori on the ship, though the relaxed woman's demeanor never faded even as she entered the room and found a wall to lean against, folding her arms. "Just outta curiosity, Fire-Hair, what was the plan there? Aside from 'sprint and see'?"

Shiroma sighed at Nori's reaction but she understood it she could understand why her friend had done everything. The reactions to the feelings even this explosive response to the situation it was all understandable, not the best of reactions and she needed to learn more control but that was part of age and living life.  The next moment Sarada started speaking and Shiroma shuddered at each sentence a look of shock and disgust forming on her face as Sarada rained down punishment in the form of words on Nori. Shiroma just stared her mouth open watching Sarada walking away and then closing and biting her lip hard and her tongue  between her teeth. "Yes ma'am." was the only thing she said to Tsukiko before she turned looked at Nori following her but keeping a distance letting her friend be alone, but there if she changed her mind even as she saw Tsukiko sensei go up to Nori she kept back around a corner but close so that Nori would know she was there, just being there if she was wanted.

Nori knew at this point there was nothing left to say. Even if she tried to explain herself, it wouldn’t make a difference. Before she had even said or did anything, she had been held back and restrained like some animal that was going to get out of control. but sensei had to have known that she was going to react in some way, wasn’t she? How could she expect her to see him and not say or do anything? It frustrated her. In her mind she knew why their sensei didn’t tell her there was a possibility he’d be coming back with them, and she understood it. She knew she failed to keep herself in check, but she just reacted on impulse. She felt him there and she chased after it. She had no intention of getting in the way and there was nothing she could do even if she had tried. Did they somehow think she’d set him free?

She found herself in the ship sitting on top of one of the beds in the lower cabin. She pushed her hands through her burgundy hair and sighed as she lowered her head down and closed her eyes. It was then that she heard a familiar voice speak to her, but she stayed still and said nothing for a moment. “Even if there was something I could do, there was no way I would have gotten away with it. I am not so ignorant and naive. I sensed him and acted on impulse. My body just moved on its own,” she told her and let her hands Dali’s down from her head. “Sarada sensei doesn’t trust me not to act on my emotions. She even went so far as to restrain me like I couldn’t control myself. I wasn’t going to do anything. I just...needed to know that it was him. That I wasn’t imagining things.” Nori looked up at Fuma across the way leaning against a wall. “I know you wouldn’t really understand, but I feel like every time I feel something that I am going to be reprimanded for acting on it or for feeling something. I’m getting punished for something that I...” She sighed and looked away.  “...just forget it. It doesn’t matter anyway. You’re going to think I’m a child, too.”

Nanami sighed slightly, and walks over to Shiroma "That could have gone better. Nori will still be hungry, and I think we both could use something to eat. So still up for some food, Shiroma?" She asked. After that she wasn't really in a smiling mood. She had been on the receiving end of one of Sarada's -talks-. She knew they were hard to take, but Sarada was usually spot on with her assessment. At least this mission might yield something they can use against the Hidden snow.

The girl looks down for a moment "I still have this uneasy feeling. I know he is on this island somewhere." She looks at Shiroma "We should have our wits about ourselves, an attack may come before we leave. It would be just like Kotatsu to give hope and then snatch it back." This had been sitting in the back of her mind as she started walking back towards the ship and to the galley. Nanami would begin to sing a soft, and comforting song as she walked.

Tsukiko was silent for a moment, listening as she absentmindedly reached up to rub her neck, the various beads braided throughout her crimson hair clacking together with the rustling. A moment or two's consideration lead her to shut the door she was next to. There was no way it would give them complete privacy, but for the moment it'd convey that Tsukiko meant this to be a private conversation.

"So, run up to 'em and see." She hummed, tugging a strand of hair so that she could play with the bead attached, red slowly revolving around a finger. "Not touchin' the part where he was still comin' towards us and ya'd have seen this fella you're...close to? Close to. Not touchin' that ya'd have seen him eventually, let's pause for a moment, aye?"

Kicking off from the wall, she slowly approached Nori. Her boots clapped along the wooden floor intentionally, each step deliberate, a stark contrast to the woman who looked like she was about ready to yawn. Once she reached the woman, she crouched down so that she was at eye level with the girl, not bothering to wait until she was acknowledged.

"Ya let your feelin's cloud yer mind, hon. And when ya got caught, ya didn't have the awareness t'correct yerself. Now, we're in hostile territory, in a land that wants t'eat ya alive or torture ya, dependin' on where ya go, for all sorts of reasons." Her smile was grim, but she didn't speak condemningly. Her tone was quiet, enunciating each word despite her peculiar accent. "Movin' like that. Not pausin', watchin', and makin' the world act on your terms, well. . .That's what an enemy'd exploit. I'm sure Uchiha-hime," She smirked sardonically, "Don't want ya dead. Ain't a slight against you, because truthfully it ain't about you. Now, that stick wedged up 'er bum probably makes it a bit hard for ya to see, but pause for a second. What would you do if you looked out for someone and they repaid ya by screamin'?"

Slowly, she backed up to sit against the opposite bed, crossing her legs as she laughed good naturedly. "I don't think you're a child. You're well-past th'age of being told ta go to bed on time or to eat all your food before desert. Now, yer glorious leader's probably got a million an' one rules, but lemme assure ya none of 'em matter right here. Right now. While that door's closed. So if ya feel like bein' a young woman, why don't you an' I have ourselves a li'l chat while t'others get us seaworthy?" 

Nor I had hinestly thought that when she said those things that she was sure Fuma would tell her that she was wrong for what she did amd agree with everything that Sarada told her. But she was actually just...talking to her. Albeit in a way that she could barely understand with her accent, but it brought Nori to actually turn her head and look at the woman that was crouched down in front of her. She just looked into her eyes and stayed silent. She pressed her lips together into a thin line before she casted her eyes down to the floor. “I didn’t want to cause any trouble for anyone. I moved on impulse. Not really caring about anyone or anything else except what what I wanted to get to. I know I shouldn’t have, but at that moment...I just had to know it was real,” she said and as she brought up s hand to cover her face.

“I know sensei was not completely wrong. I can let my emotions get the better of me, but at the same time, I know how to use my head. And as much as I know I need to think more logically, there are moments where I am going to be weak. Where I will let them get the best of me and I’m sure I’ll face the consequences for that, but...that’s just who I am. I know she still thinks of me as some child and maybe I am in certain ways, but I’m going to make mistakes and she doesn’t see room for that. I need to be smarter. I need to think more logically. I need to think of the mission and nothing else. My mind shouldn’t be focused on other things. She wants me to put my feelings and my heart aside. When it comes to missions, the goal is to complete it and move on. I know that. My dedication to protect my village and its people has always been something important to me. I grew up wanting to always make sure everyone was kept safe and I would do whatever I had to to get stronger. I wasn’t the strongest person in my class, but I always did my best. I trained every day. I still do and I don’t aim to prove anything to anyone except myself. Only I can pull myself down, but I am also the only one that can pick myself back up. I need to learn from my mistakes and maybe I’m not completely there yet, but I will be,” she said and dropped her hand from her face.

“And I don’t mean any disrespect towards sensei. I do respect her, but I don’t always agree with everything she says and does. I know she has her reasons and her way of doing things and I know we have to do whatever she tells us because her word is the only thing that matters...” Nori tilted her head up and looked at Fuma again that was sitting across from her. “...but are doing things her way or the right way going to help us become better shinobi? Does following the rules mean missions are going to go the way you want them to? Is there not one person alive that has not acted on their feelings just once because, for that moment in time, rationality didn’t matter? Are we not allowed to show an ounce of feeling?”

Nodding in agreement, Sozui wasn't sure if his skill with this technique was going to improve as quickly as some of the others things that he needed to work on, which made him kind of wish for another assignment that sent them out again once they returned. The long trips were a perfect time to practice such skills given that one had to already be aware of one's surrounding just in case of possible attack, but he supposed that they would have to hold off until they found a fourth member to round out their squad. They were a good team, but it would be nice to have that fourth person so that they wouldn't have to push themselves so hard in such trying times.

Hearing the order to keep Nori and Sigmund separate, Sozui started to make his way forward to carry it out when things seem to 'blow up' in the verbal sense, and he wasn't sure if he should continue with the task or just act as a guard in case things were about to change suddenly. The unknown woman disappeared after Nori went inside, so he kind of figured that what he was told to do was kind of voided until told otherwise. Though, this personal connection did seem to complicate things in an already complex situation, and he wondered if it would just be wiser for them to find an alternative means of getting Sigmund back. He didn't voice this opinion. "So are we departing immediately or setting up camp, Sensei?"

In reply to Nara Nanami (msg # 356):

Shiroma sighed as she at at a table knowing that Nori was just down the hall but couldn't really do anything at this point.  She wondered if the other Jonin might be able to help her sort things out. She looked up at Nanami and sighed nodding. "Yeah lets get food ready for everyone." She didn't want to talk too much about what had happened she seemed to be keeping any thoughts she had on the subject to herself.

She got up and moved toward the kitchen with Nanami sighing. "Sorry about freaking out about my eyes earlier I know that Nori's reactions and everything happened about the same time. I just didn't want to not say sorry because when Nori reacted to my eyes I just needed to know why."

Sakuya nodded quietly while keeping abreast with her teammates. She slowly took in this feeling she was getting from her surroundings like she was getting used to a new sensation. She also noticed the weak presence of chakra that was suppressed by their sensei's own chakra, a sign that their captive was still held in check. Combined with the sedative administered, should keep Sigmund in a weakened state long enough for them to properly secure him.

"What would be the best way to keep him pacified until we get back, sensei?" the medical novice then asked as they made their way to the meeting point.

Nanami had an apron on by this point "It's ok Shiroma. Things have been so tense over the last year and a half. So it's understandable as to why emotions are running a little high." Her eyes glanced down the hall as well "Nori is strong, to endure everything she has. Many would have had an emotional break. Still I need to ask Sensei something." She was methodically chopping vegetables, and was boiling the cured meat to make a stock for the ramen. Judging by the amount of things she was preparing it was for many more then just them.

As she was moving from one place to the next "I know I haven't had the horrifying experiences you and Nori have. But Know, no matter what I will always listen, and be here for both of you." Nanami smiled at Shiroma "And know if you are ever taken I will come for you. I've been training, and preparing just in case." She let out a breath as she paused and drank water from a canteen. She wiped her brow. The kitchen had such an aroma of everything cooking and blending. It smelled amazing for something that looked so simple to make. She would sing as she worked. Her singing was soft and cheerful. Making for a very relaxing environment.

As they came to the encampment, Lady Sarada at their side, he quickly bowed out of respect before laying down Sigmund’s unconscious body. ”Sozui. You and I will watch over him. Sakuya, you and Nanami should get together to come up with sedatives that will keep him at bay for the trip back,” he instructed. Sima felt exhausted after running here and depleting his chakra to keep Simung paralyzed. ”We’ll be leaving as soon as possible so don’t get too comfortable,” he added before beginning to toe Sigmund’s wrists and ankles , preventing sudden movement. He merely glanced at Sarada, exchanging a silent look of relief for a brief moment before continuing on Sigmund.

   He had been a long drawn out confrontation between the Kumo shinobi. It was clear their goal was to take him prisoner and return him back to Konoha. While the thought was comforting, he simply wasn’t going to go willingly. Power coursesd through his very veins. He would be a fool to give that up so easily. Konoha only held him back. His former team had only held him back. Here in this land, with the guidance of his new master, he was free to do whatever he desired all the while borrowing from a large amount of chakra that wasn’t his. Sigmund has still been unsure of the entire thing but the longer he was under the man’s control, the more he thirsted for more.

   Leaving behind his squad was by far the best decision he had ever made. Not only was he reunited with his long lost brother, but they spent all their time together. That’s why it was disappointing to know Kotatsu hadn’t been seen or never shows up when their HQ was attacked. While Sigmund managed to fend off what he could, these Kuno shinobi had got the best of him, exploiting his weakness within his neck, and were able to subdue him.

   On the trip back, he felt and heard everything, but his body simply wouldn’t comply with his brain. Couldn’t open his eyes nor could he even speak. Silent breathing was all he heard from himself and the faint background voices of the Kumo shinobi. He tried as hard as he could but to no avail. When they came to a stop, Sigmund knew they had reached their destination and could even hear a commotion of voices. When he was placed down he was finally able to groan as the electricity stopped finally. He felt nothing but tingling all around, clearly still sedated and would be for awhile. His brain began to function again and the power eventually returned but due to the effects of the drugs, he was powerless. He still couldn’t open his eyes. There was one thing for certain though that he knew and they didn’t and it was only a matter of time before he could free himself.

After he small confromtation with Nori, she simply moved passed it and had made her way to her allies, their prisoner in hand. This wasn’t the first time she had encountered this gentleman and she was all too familiar with his ruthless skills and harsh nature from their previous encounter. She looked down at his unconscious face, knowing damn well that wouldn’t remain for much longer. ”Get with Nanami as soon as possible. It won’t be long before he awakes from this comatose state. I’d like to prevent his outrage burst if possible,” she instructed to the junior medical shinobi.

She had been trained in the arts too but wasn’t too keen on the arts of sedatives and antidotes. Her training had consisted of healing herself and others and even the physical prowl of her strength taijutsu. She kneeled down at the boy, disappointed and unamused as to why they hadn’t killed this boy yet. Her father had good reason but if Sarada had the option, she would’ve terminated him right then and there. He caused nothing but pain and destruction that he couldn’t take back. Pointless lives lost for personal gain. It was disgusting to say the least but only her father knew what that was like.

She caressed his cheek softly, his skin cool against her skin. ”You’re lucky, young one. You’d be dead if I had the day in this matter. You may have gotten the upper hand against us last time but I warn you now, little one, that won’t be the case this time,” she whispered to him, fully aware that he could hear her. ”Keep that electricity flowing. He needs to stay paralyzed as long as we can manage,” she ordered before standing back up. ”I wish there was more I could do but my sharingan is useless against his own,” she explained before sighing.

Shiroma sighed softly watching Nanami work in the kitchen not really wanting to get too close. She might stand cold better then anyone else alive but she hated heat and kitchen were known for one thing, lots of heat.  Still she was sitting close to be able to talk to her friend.  "Its not just that Nanami. Somethings that happened in that training..."  She sighed and closed her eyes shaking her head. "Sensei separated me from...well me. She bound one of my selves of our free will so that all that she could do was watch."  She took a drink of water as well breathing out small snow flakes that melted in the warm air almost instantly and she smiled slightly. "She put me, and I mean this me." she pointed to her eyes that were pale ice blue. "She had me relive memories I thought I had lost. Even now I can't actually remember them but I know they happened because she showed them too me and they felt like me. Even the ones during my time with...under the influence of dark chakra." She sighed and bit her lip. "They felt like me, but without a worry about right and wrong. Anyway...I always thought that the other me was the one under the influence of the dark chakra. Well..." she sighed and took another drink. "Some things I saw made me hate her. until she pointed something out once she was unbound." She looked at Nanami her pale blue eyes looking at her friends own eyes. "My eyes were red."

As Nanami listened to Shiroma. Neither her face nor her demeanor changed. She only let out a sigh "I am sorry that training tore open old wounds or what not." She places a glass of ice with juice in it "Look looked like you needed to cool off." She said trying to lighten the mood. She pats Shiroma's shoulder "Discovering things that are painful will take time to heal, but in time they will. I am sure Sarada just needs to process everything. Much like you and Nori will need to process things."

Nanami walks back into the kitchen sizzling, and then plop sounds come as she adds everything to the pot. She walks back out and sits "Now about half hour and it will all be ready." She looked at Shiroma "There are some things still bugging me." She makes a hand seal and summons her medical kit. Taking out a notebook and pen. Nanami continues to jot notes down about their enemies. Though the section she was looking at was labeled -The Fallen- "Shiroma when we get back it will likely be very busy. With the concert, research, and likely another mission." Out of the bag she takes out two unique senbon. Then another odd third needle. She seemed to be studying somethings anatomy..

Sakuya gave her respects to Lady Sarada as well before responding to Sima's command to meet up with Nanami and prepare something to keep Sigmund sedated. There was a spring in her step as she asked a nearby crew member on her friend's whereabouts, and soon leading her to the kitchen of the ship they were using.

"Is Nanami-chan around?" the genin called out as she peeked in the kitchen, clearly excited to see her friend again despite being winded from their hurried trek back from the enemy base.

Nanami waves Sakuya over and stands. Then hugs her, all in one motion "So I see your mission was a success. I am glad you are safe. You haven't forgotten your promise to come see me perform at my next concert have you?" She asked. Even though she knew the reason she was sent to get her. Nanami was all smiles. She would step back and look Sakuya over "No major injuries, that's good."

She walks back to the table and puts everything back into her medical bag, and picks it up "So what do you need of me, Sakuya?" She asked in a happy tone. Nanami had been fine tuning the sedatives and methods, as she knew this would one day happen. One way or the other.

After Sakuya was sent away, that left Sozui and Sima to guard over the unconscious prisoner. ”Sozui, ensure we have a safe spot on the ship to properly secure Sigmund completely. Use any of your arsenal if need be but I need you to find the perfect spot to use as a small prison for now. Afterwards, you’ll be in charge of watching over him. You’ll be able to earn any of us if he wakes up,” he instructed. He had been putting a lot of responsibility upon Sozui’s shoulders and it was paying off. His student was learning much more than Fujii had expected and it was an accomplishment. He had hoped after their return to Konoha, they’ll be able to relax before picking up another assignment.

Well, he sort of knew that guard duty was what he was going to be doing on the return trip, so Sozui assumed that practicing techniques was going to be put on hold until they were safely back in their own village. Still, figuring out the best place to hold someone like Sigmund was a new kind of training, and then his mind began working out the best place to set up a makeshift prison for a sharigan user.

"Well, we don't want him to be on the top or the bottom of the ship where he would cause the most damage to the ship, so somewhere on the lower decks. Maybe a storage room on the ship with one door where he can be bound in such a way that he will trigger snares to release weapons at him or tighten his other bonds. Probably will have to have Sakuya or Nanami show me how to administer the sedative to limit traffic into an out of the room," commented Sozui as he thought about the layout of the ship.

Sima had remained quiet as Sozui explained his plan. It was thoughtout and it was on a whim. This empresses his sensei as Fujii looked over Sigmund carefully. ”Very well thoughtout and thorough,” he commented as glanced at Sozui. ”Are you also considering his abilities in this too? The sedatives are a plus because you can keep him at bay within the limits of the medication. However his abilities could be a problem if he manages to wake up for a split second,” he explained.

”I’m hoping Lady Sarada can maybe reverse this darkness in his heart but I believe it’ll be difficult because of his own eyes of the Uchiha,” he muttered to himself. ”He’s going to need to be restrained from every angle. Traps definiately will be good in this case. I’ll be assisting of course with an electrical field and barrier. Sakuya will be able to replenish our chakra resources if need be,” he added before looking over at the ship. ”Go check the ship. Find a suitable place, clean it up with the crew, and we’ll get this trip going,” he ordered.
