Once he had said what needed to be said to Sakura, and once he was satisfied that she would remain quiet for now, Nathan finally turned toward Hanzo.
He moved a few steps away from Sakura and Akiko, lowering his voice as he approached her. The room was still tense, but there was something different in Hanzo's face now. She had been waiting for this. He could see it in her eyes.
"You really met Norihiro?" she asked.
For all her usual control, she could not hide the disbelief in her voice.
Nathan nodded once. "Yeah. I met him. We talked."
Hanzo stared at him for a moment as if trying to measure whether such a thing was even possible. Then her expression changed. The shock remained, but something more fragile surfaced beneath it.
"Does he have my uncle?" she asked.
She tried to keep her voice steady, but Nathan caught the slight tremor in it anyway.
"No," he said. "He does not have him. But he told me who does. Mitsuhide."
Hanzo's eyes widened. "Mitsuhide?"
