I'm not thinking of anything crazy, I promise. [ Belated realization that she sounded potentially suicidal and/or insane there. ] It's just that humans are pretty fragile, you know? I'm not going to be here forever, and neither are any of the other shinobi of my village. I want to make sure that my home is safe, even after we're gone. And I want to do it so that no more Konoha shinobi are contracted to the CDC, if I can. Can I?
You're asking for guarantees that people on my level
can't assure you on. Most I can promise you is a recommendation of that
request, but honestly, you're asking in the wrong direction.

What's that supposed to mean?

It means look left. Go left. When the right time comes, pick left.

no subject

You'll know. You'll just know when it's time.
