He said to speak up, rather than fear the punishment brought upon them. She was fine by being hit; she couldn't feel pain and the worst this man could do was bring physical harm to her. "Fear is different than respect, sir. If one fears you, they cannot respect you; they can only hold their tongue and quake in fear." She glanced at the places his family members once were. "If you wish me not to hold back, then I will not, but your family seems to fear you. The reason why I like Dog so much," She gestured to the 'mutt', "Is because he doesn't have fear like a human would. Animals also have superior sense of reason, and seeing as he hasn't shown any sort of mistrust towards you means I will not either." She knew that speaking out against him wouldn't earn any sort of points, but she wanted to make a point. She felt bad for his family. She wondered if Nanalu had it as bad as these people did.

She'd follow her sensei, but she did expect some sort of reprecussion. It didn't matter. She didn't fear this man; she simply wanted to know what made him so angry. Emotions were interesting when you took a step back from them and observed.

And then he spoke again. It was annoying, the way he assumed their sensei had died because of weakness. And she stared at him, directly, as she said, "I fear watching not only my new sensei, but all of my teammates, die in front of me while I can do nothing but watch. Watching my old Sensei get decapitated really knocked some sense into me." She did say one of her fears, but there was a deeper-rooted fear that would certainly not look good to any Shinobi of Konoha. It wasn't lying if you didn't avoid saying it, right?

It was running through her mind, though, still.

''What if everything Konoha is to me is a lie? ''

No matter how many times she went to the hospital for a routine checkup... well, there were holes in her memory. And her biggest fear was that those holes were true; that they were her, being decieved, by the very village that she called her home.

She had no certain proof of this so to simply tell this man, who was not only a jounin but also the head of one of the Hyuga sideclans, would raise some alarms. Definetely more than needed. And so, she kept a straight face but there was flames of defiance in her eyes. No matter what this Hyuga did, she'd never disclose this information to someone she didn't fully trust herself. He could try torture, but it wouldn't get him very far.
