She found herself digging and planting inside one of the Hokage's personal greenhouses, then she followed with pulling and organizing them on top a sealing scroll.

Her hand reached out searching for the dark haired woman who had been with her inside the greenhouse, but jerked it back when it came in touch with a burning corpse.

She remembered nothing except her horrified screams and burning wood all around her.
