"Nothing. I just..." Damn it, why couldn't she think of anything that wasn't telling the truth? She didn't want to tell Kushina that she wasn't uncomfortable around Itachi because he'd seen her screw up... That he'd seen how unprepared their team was for that recent mission. She didn't want them to see the scar on her arm from the experience, or that she was still a staving off a fever from it.

More than anything, she wanted to run. Even with Sasuke and Obito both having talked to her, she still felt ashamed of herself over what happened.
