Benio tells Hinata that the timed-death needle is getting more and more painful and that the only cure for tamaki is for him and his father to fight each other. He wants to go to the takano library to ask for help. He tells her that he has been up all night and that he is going to do what he can to stop the needle from getting worse. He says that if he stops working, his mind will start to think that the matter is about to get worse between the two houses and that they should start a revolution. He adds that even if he can stop the death needle, he will be a target for change in the rest of the council of the ninjas. Benio says that he had a dream that he was going to protect him from being captured by his master. He asks hinata if she works for hitachi and she says that she does.
