Guiying clenched his fists, his exertion of sheer will began to dissipate.

"I ... I don't know what I'm going to do. I'm just scared, honestly. I don't want to be locked up. I'd rather run away, where I can be free. I've seen how savage the Senju and Uchiha can be. I don't want to end up like the Kurama clan did."

Guiying was, of course, referencing the Kurama Massacre that happened only some time ago before the formation fo Konohagakure. A nasty affair that even Hattori would know well of. The Kurama were a special clan of genjutsu users, and among a rare few some of them were blessed with the ability to make their thoughts and illusions become reality. They were seen as too powerful, and in one fell swoop they were annihilated by both Sujima Senju and Karasu Uchiha. It was a candid reminder that Konoha itself was not too far removed from the brutal world of shinobi, as much as it wanted to be.
