"No," was the short response from Sasuke, fighting down the urge to kick the final twitches out of the body in front of him. He'd stopped the lungs in a last-ditch effort to keep the contents of the crushed ampoule from travelling into the body, a seal still burning red on the man's throat, but it hadn't taken effect quickly enough to catch the inhalation that had killed him.

The rapidity of the poison could only mean one thing. He stalked over to the closest genjutsu victim, prying open the ninja's mouth and retrieving the capsule tucked against the side of the cheek.

"Potassium cyanide," he muttered. The counter-drug wasn't issued even to licensed medic-nin on a standard escort mission like this. "It's not cheap stuff to get in quantity."

"Get the capsule out of the one you've got," he added, a frowning afterthought as he headed for the remaining enemy-nin still slumbering under genjutsu. "If it's been damaged in any way, inhalation will still kill him."
