The problem, of course, was more than breaking the locks -- it was finding the locks in the first place. Until then, they were trapped in the rat maze, hoping only that what information they could find and what challenges they completed meant more information toward the goal.
Tonight, perhaps, a greater piece of the challenge. Sasuke swept the hall with the Sharingan for an instant, satisfied that Sakura had yet to arrive, and leaned against a wall in wait.
It took effort to avoid trying to tug at the necklace resting around his neck: years of wearing nothing even close to it made the metal heavier than it felt in his hands, a niggling presence to which his skin failed to completely acclimate. Sasuke turned to balancing the weight of the two weapons in each hand to occupy them, the one well-crafted, useless, and the other a rough-made point of vision in Sasuke's world of darkness.
