Ken'ichi would've had to physically stop Hitoshi from his continued approach towards the man. Once he did he'd be met with a defiant look and the sassiest of tones. “Alright, I guess we don't need it to be painless.”  And just like that, he shrugged before the senbon were tucked away into the folds of fabric at his belt line with a flourish. He was fully expecting some sort of punishment for this when the time came but in the heat of the moment, he just didn't care. Ken'ichi was coddling them and it was driving him absolutely bonkers.

''“See? I told ya”''  Kenta got into the action, too. In all of their interactions, it was the only time that Hitoshi gave an actual response within the inner realm in which Kenta resided. Even that, though, was little more than a reluctant nod and shrug.

Aurora's words were once again ignored. The fact that she didn't catch on to his plan already gave him enough of a reason to take no heed of her words. He wasn't trying to save the woman; he doubted even a med nin being present could have accomplished that. From his vantage point, he wasn't even sure she was alive by the time Ken'ichi met with her if it weren't for the obvious but inaudible conversation the two older ninjas had. It was just to buy a little bit of time for intelligence gathering. The whole point of the mission, after all.

By the time Ken'ichi rejoined them Hitoshi was perched facing away with his senses reaching into the mist that surrounded them. His feet flat and the crouch bringing the entirety of his weight over his feet. He didn't even look over to him as he wordlessly rose to his feet again. His hands lightly brushing off the front of his pants. The mission at this point felt like a complete and utter failure.
