"Neither do I." His tone was very soft, almost a sigh. "If it bad to be one of you... I'm glad it was you. You've always seen a different side of things than those two. I think... even though it hurts, you'll be able to make this into something, to not be broken by this. I'm not sure that Naruto could do that, and Hinata... With her family, I wouldn't wish more darkness in her life."
He went silent for a breath, finally answering the question. "But yes. There are more missions like this than I care for there to be, but it's part of what my ANBU do. I try to keep it away from the hands of my man force shinobi as much as possible, but there are limits, so I try to tailor things to the individual and what I know they can handle personally. It's exhausting at times, and there's no way to account for missions gone wrong and the like, no matter how prepared my people are."
