Theoretically, if she was crawling under the rock to die, it wouldn't matter if she was stuck under there, but Natsumi wasn't going to say anything that could be construed as backtalk to the Hokage. Especially not when she'd just done something so embarrassing. She generally strived to be polite and behave like a young woman of the Uchiha clan should. Now and then she fell short of the mark, but she made an effort at least.
"You're right, Hokage-sama. I don't think I've got enough chakra left for even a weak fire jutsu to blast a rock away."
Hence eating at the stand at this late hour rather than going home and cooking for herself. She was putting some food into herself so that she could manage the rest of the walk home before crashing. She'd have to consider putting in an application to the police force once she wasn't a bleary-eyed wreck. It wouldn't be opening a restaurant like she really wanted, but she likely wouldn't get to do that until she was well over Kagami's age.
