Maki's face paled as her lies were revealed by Tsuki. Why would this girl deny what she was saying? Couldn't she tell that she was trying to help her? Did she know what Yugao-san was hinting at? How could she know, unless all of Konoha knew who all of the jinchuuriki were? All of these questions flew through her head round and round wondering what had happened. Now that she had been exposed she wondered what the Mizukage would do. She also wondered if the boy, Mana would abandon her as well because of what they’d said. It would be the smart thing to do, she couldn’t deny that, and it wasn’t as though she wasn’t unaccustomed to people leaving her. Although she didn't know either of these people the sting was just as bad, sometimes she wished that she wasn't so impulsive.
However none of that really mattered right now. What mattered was what the Mizukage would do to her. This was one of the few instances where she was caught lying, none of which had ended well for her before. Unlike the other times though this was a Kage who had found out that she was being lied to and she'd heard of this one's techniques and had no doubts that she could find a genjutsu that would work on her. Now Maki almost regreted traveling around the five elemental unties for the past nine years insead of going straight to Konoha, because now she wasn't under the protection of any of the villages and Yugao could do whatever she wanted to her and no one would protest. She almost regreted it until she remembered all that she'd seen and heard and learned over the years and decided that if this was a consequence to her travels then so be it.
Despite the resolve firmly in her mind and her defiant look up at Yugao-san on the inside she was scared. Still she made no move to try to cover up what Tsuki had said and said nothing to the Mizukage's questions. All she could hope for was that either the punishment was quick or that the boy Mana got her out of this and to the Hokage.
