Inside the prison clinic, as bland as the rest of the prison, The pale-skinned doctor treated Nagant's cheek with a smile, leaving his hand on the scar longer than he should have, "I've done all I can for you normally; the scar on your cheek should fade eventually."

Nagant avoided making eye contact with his snake-slit eyes and stared at the door, "Thanks... was that blonde guy dead?" 

"Yes... I personally disposed of his body. You were very thorough." 

Nagant thought she saw him liking his lips in the corner of her vision, "Am I cleared to leave now? I feel fine."

"Yes... you know you could have been fully healed the day the incident happened if you had just let me take you to the more private intensive care I provide."

"Yeah... no thanks... not a big fan of the weird fluids." Nagant grimaced, making her way to the door as the doctor chuckled.

At the Hero Commission building, Danzo stared at the plane through the window of his office as it flew west with a smile. "Finally."

His phone rang and he picked it up, "Yes?"

"Nagant's scheduled execution has been successfully moved up from 8 months to 1 month from now."

Danzo's smile widened, "That's great news. Everything is falling into place. Continue your work."

As the sun set west, Edgeshot strolled back to his agency, gripping the kunai in his pocket. He arrived back at the dojo to see Sasuke successfully pulling back thrown shurikens with cables.

They made eye contact and Edgeshot eye-smiled, "Quick learner as always."

"Yeah, just gotta work on making it an unconscious effort." Sasuke went back to throwing and pulling shuriken as Edgeshot stared at him. Thinking back to what Hawks said earlier, he thought, 'I gotta pay a lot more attention to Sasuke.' 

He approached Sasuke, and he stopped training, thinking back to the visions He had after taking the needles. “Edgeshot… Can you get me in contact with Hawks?”

Edgeshot paused, “Hawks? No, he won't be back in the country for a week or so, why?”

Sasuke sighed, shaking his head, ‘Something just doesn't feel right.’ “It's nothing important. Did you need something?”

Edgeshot cleared his throat, "I think you're ready for the most intense training I can offer you."

Sasuke stuck his chin up, "Show me."

Sasuke's expression swapped from anticipation to deadpan as he soon entered a room with Tenten sitting on a couch watching Mina play Beat Saber. They could see her active game on the headset through the TV. Sasuke side-eyed Edgeshot, "Are you trolling?"

"Dead serious."

Mina lost and yelled, taking off the headset, "What the hell! How are people supposed to beat this?! Oh, hi, Sasuke."

Tenten turned to them, seeing Sasuke, and gasped, "Mr. Edgeshot! You think Sasuke is ready for this?"

"Yeah, it's time."

Sasuke's eyes narrowed, "It's just a VR game."

Mina said, "You shouldn't underestimate it. This is harder than fighting a Nomu," she offered the headset. 

Sasuke grabbed it, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, this is stupid. Just give me the hardest level so I can go back to normal training."

Edgeshot shook his head knowingly, "You'll regret this, but alright." Edgeshot chose the level for Sasuke and loaded it up.
