"Nothing," Kanna replied calmly, though a faint ripple passed through her emotionless eyes, vanishing in an instant without Kagura noticing.
"Then how did you escape from him?" Kagura asked persistently.
"He let me go," Kanna responded calmly.
"You mean he did nothing and just let you go?" Kagura was full of disbelief.
"..."
Kanna didn't answer, just watched her quietly.
Kagura suddenly felt a headache coming on from her elder sister's reticence.
"Kanna, does he know you're Naraku's Incarnation?" Kagura asked from a different angle.
"No. He only knows I'm Naraku's subordinate," Kanna replied.
"He doesn't know you're an Incarnation, but he knows you're Naraku's person?" Kagura understood her meaning and became even more surprised. "Then why didn't he kill you?"
"..."
Kanna gave no response.
"Does that guy not even care about Naraku at all?" Kagura really couldn't figure it out.
Shouldn't he be like Inuyasha, who would smell Naraku's scent on her and immediately swing the tessaiga? That loathsome guy Naraku...
If her heart weren't in Naraku's hands, she would be more decisive in killing Naraku than Inuyasha.
"Why on earth?" Kagura was completely baffled.
"I don't know," Kanna replied softly, seemingly sensing her confusion.

Retsu didn't know that Kagura and Kanna were discussing him. At this moment, he was sitting on the grass, his gaze fixed on a nearby clearing.
Kagome and Kikyo, dressed in miko outfits, stood side by side, each holding a bow and arrow, practicing their aim at a straw target in the distance.
Not long ago, Kikyo had planned to leave after eating, but Kagome suddenly stepped forward, hoping Kikyo could guide her in Archery. Thus, this scene unfolded.
It had to be said that Kagome's talent for Archery was indeed astonishing.
Even though Retsu didn't understand Archery, he could clearly see the speed of her progress. However, this was within his expectations.
In the original plot, Kagome, as a modern middle school student, couldn't even draw a bow at first; she was a complete novice. But she grew rapidly while collecting the shards of the shikon jewel, and by the later stages, her Archery was quite excellent.
You have to realize that she spent most of her time traveling and collecting shards of the shikon jewel, with almost no professional teacher aside from occasional guidance from Grandma Kaede.
Being able to progress so quickly under such circumstances was enough to show how outstanding her talent in this area was.
Watching the Spiritual Power attached to Kagome's arrows become increasingly refined and powerful under Kikyo's guidance, Retsu understood that Kikyo was teaching her how to properly control the Spiritual Power within her body.
As Kikyo's reincarnation, the Spiritual Power in Kagome's body was equally vast, yet in the plot, her performance was even inferior to Kikyo, who relied on dead souls to maintain her body.
However, judging from Kagome's occasional bursts of strength, the Spiritual Power in her body was actually extremely powerful; it just lacked proper guidance, so it could only manifest through temporary outbursts most of the time.
In the group, Kagome mostly hid behind Inuyasha, acting as a "human radar" for the shikon jewel.
Fifty years ago, when Kikyo and Inuyasha fought side by side, Inuyasha was the frontline tank, while Kikyo was the core damage dealer; her Demon-Slaying Arrow dealt massive damage to Demons.
Now Kagome has been reduced from a "marksman" to a "support," with her Demon-Slaying Arrow only becoming the key to breaking a deadlock when the team is in a desperate situation.
"However, if Kagome can skillfully control the vast Spiritual Power in her body, things might become even more interesting later on!"
