"Yeah."

"I'm going to tell Karin to come out here." He doesn't have the chakra to summon a snake large enough to ride, and being carried back by Cam would be embarrassing.

He flares his chakra in a very specific pattern.

"How?" asks Cam, who can't detect this behavior.

"She can sense chakra. I can change how much chakra I'm giving off at any given time. We have codes."

She'll probably be grouchy at being woken up, but.

"Okay."

He curls in on himself a bit more.

And a just-woken-up Karin arrives shortly thereafter. She yawns, rests a softly glowing hand on Sasuke's shoulder, and says to Cam: "Can I have some coffee?"

"Black?" he asks, materializing a thermos.

"Sure."

She is not going to ask Sasuke why he injured himself this badly, that sounds like a recipe for a relapse, but she is going to eventually bother the demon and-slash-or the zombie Hokage she can sense. Probably zombie drama. Zombies should not be allowed to have drama, but when is Karin's life fair.

Black coffee.

She gets Sasuke ambulatory first, then starts in on any burns and nerve damage. Muscle cramps can wait.

She's pretty fast, but she'll still be here a little bit. Still, after her second thermos of coffee: "Anything else I should leave to natural healing."

Sasuke will be sore a day or two but not actually incapable of fighting.

"I wonder if I can learn to do that," muses Cam.

"Don't see why not. It requires a lot of chakra control, and medical knowledge, but outside of some disabilities most everyone technically can."

(Sasuke straightens and turns his back to them, facing at least towards the base.)

"Haven't established that you don't need to be from this planet or part alien or something to do chakra stuff. - Oh, the sage of six paths was half-alien, it's a thing."

"I'm probably going to have a reaction to that when I'm awake."

"There's some basic chakra exercises that're easy to teach. And I think all of our zombies were ever teachers."

"Maybe I should hit them up for lessons."

She hums a bit sleepily.

Heading back to the base? (Looks like Sasuke's already stalking off, and she should follow him to make sure he doesn't fall over.)

Cam flies, keeping pace with them in case he's needed.

Doesn't seem to be.

Karin goes straight back to her apartment, presumably to go back to sleep.

Sasuke does pause outside the base, glancing over at Cam.

"...Thanks."

"You're welcome. Let me know if you need anything."

"Might need some more information on Orochimaru at some point, though there's a trade-off between speed and preparedness."

Nod.

He heads inside to track down Minato. Minato seems easiest for him to handle right now, and, well, he'll need the man's speed if he wants to dart from Orochimaru to Itachi.

Cam sits up in the atrium, on his computer, adding to the character encoding and reading by turns.
