If their survival caused problems later in the mission, Sasuke only had himself to blame. It wasn't particularly efficient, leaving behind ninja of unknown origin, motivation, and supplies just because they could. Even if they got information out of them, she still didn't think it was the smartest thing. But he was the leader, and so she would defer to his choice on the matter.

Speaking of following his leadership, she glanced quickly across the battlefield. "...Eight." Three from her were left, and...all...of his. An odd choice. As all of them seemed to be incapacitated by genjutsu, paralytic senbon, or earth, there was no danger in turning then to lower the earth barrier.

The civilians inside looked a bit red from overheating and a bit jumpy, but otherwise seemed no worse for wear. Other than the worried looks they gave ring of fire still around them, anyway. "What do we do with them?"

The enemy, not the clients.
