„sense and danger"

"Do you want to die, Shikamaru?", Hanako says with annoyance.

"Are you sure with killing me? It might make your Naruto-kun angry.", Shikamaru teases the poor girl.

"I don't even why know I'm dealing with you right now."

"Because you're lonely without Naruto-kun.", he does it once more.

"Oh please, you think I need him in order to be happy? I'm fine by myself.", she scoffs at him.

"Alright, I'll make sure telling him that you don't need him to be happy.", Shikamaru rebuts.

"O-oi! You won't right? C'mon I thought we were just kidding.", Shikamaru chuckles at her response.

I can't believe Naruto can make her act like that.

"We're here.", Sakura announces her arrival with Shiho.

"Maybe the six Pains were genjutsus.", Shikamaru suggested, "A jutsu created by the female Akatsuki member who was also said to be present."

"And she was the one who physically attacked Lord Jiraiya.", Hanako suddenly says, causing to make Shikamaru look at her.

"Exactly, from the shadows."

Hanako gave him a thumbs up before looking back at Sakura and Shiho.

She's smart and can easily pick-up clues as well.

"No, that's hard to imagine.", Sakura exhales before saying, "According to Lord Fukasaku, Lord JIraiya died from being stabbed by real weapons wielded by the six of them."

Shikamaru looks down, thinking some more.

"Well, he took down three of them, but they supposedly resurrected themselves." Sakura adds, "It does sound like an unbelievable genjutsu."

I hate genjutsus.

Hanako thought before Shikamaru speaks up.

"Common sense has no meaning when it comes to the Akatsuki. There have been others who were immortal."

"In any case, let's keep hypothesizing all possible scenarios until we get reports from others.", Shiho says.

"Alright!", Hanako says with a smile and determination.

"You're right.", Shikamaru agrees with Shiho.

"Let's at least be a little closer to solving Pain's mystery by the time Naruto returns from his training.", Sakura says.

Naruto-kun, I hope you're doing fine.

Hanako feels a wave of nervousness, it was as if she was in danger. She stood up from her chair and looks around.

"What is it?", Shikamaru asks with concern.

"Something's wrong.", as those words come out of Hanako's mouth, the room suddenly shakes violently.

"What was that?", Shikamaru and the others ran to the windows which revealed buildings that are on smoke.

"What's that?", Sakura says.

"Let's go.", Shikamaru instructs the group.

People are running in fear while buildings are continuously being destroyed. This shocked Hanako, so much chaos was going on in one moment, it was overwhelming for the girl.
