"No plan survives contact with the enemy . . . you keep sending us to spy on the Sannin even when most of us never come back." Satou shuddered, thinking of the utter madness of Konoha.

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"It means," Satou told his superior with studied patience - he wasn't going back no matter what, he didn't care if they declared him nukenin and he had to seek sanctuary in Cha no Kuni, "I quit. I'm not spying on the Hatake-Yashagoro family any more; no plan survives contact with the enemy - and I'm pretty sure I won't survive when they eventually figure me out which they will." he added with a shudder; he'd watched the White Fang and the Serpent Sannin long enough to wonder if they hadn't already identified him as a spy - he had no intention of going back and tempting fate, with no idea why they hadn't killed him yet.
