[ He's quiet for a while, and seems to be simply glancing about the jungle, but really there's something bothering him, the mental equivalent of passing one's tongue repeatedly over a missing tooth.

[Minato looks around after hearing the 'Hm', thinking that Hyoubu must have seen something too. It's only when he hears that second comment that he realizes it might have been related to what he said about the Dark Hour, or about protecting others.
He doesn't know what it's about though, having been completely honest with his words. The Dark Hour had ended and that had meant his friends no longer had any reason to fight; that his life happened to end at the same time might have coincided with that but it's not something he actively thinks about.]
Doing it for myself... [His expression darkens subtly; he might be mostly over being eaten but no one comes out of something like that without some scars to bear for it.] I don't want something like the incident in the jungle to happen again. [But that's all he's going to say before diverting the topic from himself.] Did you see anything just now, Major?
