Chapter 246: Transport Team
The doors of the laboratory whooshed open, allowing Tayuya to enter. Her eyes landed on Brie, who was still organizing the samples from Kimimaro.
"Where's Rin?" Brie casually asked upon noticing her.
Tayuya gave her usual defiant expression while rolling her eyes. "She's bathing in the hot springs after she took a serious injury during our last training session."
"Let me guess," Brie replied with a smile. "You were the cause?"
Tayuya ignored her playful attitude, opting to look at Arthur to say, "She wanted to thank our lord for having survived that experiment he did on himself."
Arthur continued his tasks, seemingly unperturbed by their conversation. Tayuya acknowledged the silence with a slight smirk.
"What are you planning next, lord Arthur?" she pressed.
His gaze remained steady, avoiding hers entirely. He was never one to divulge much about his goals, though Tayuya had displayed a knack for perceiving the nuances. So he simply answered, "You already know..."
"A little," she confessed, looking down. "Since you revived Rin, I take it that means you're looking to revive more ninjas."
Brie adjusted her glasses and teased, "You're smarter than you look, Tayuya."
Tayuya's expression hardened at the subtle jab. "I'll have you know I was once one of Orochimaru's elite guards, so don't underestimate me."
