TO VIOLET

[itsjustdust]

Who: All the Ninja and tagalongs meeting up. (Anyone who just wants to see one of this crew who is in the city is welcome too!)
Where: Violet City
When: Late evening on May 8th.
Summary: Yet another new addition joins the collection of Shinobi.
Rating: PG (can be modified as needed)
Log:

Obito kind of pitied Sakura whenever she got here, if how excited Naruto was was any indicator. The guy was practically vibrating in place. Still, he was admittedly really relieved when he saw Tenten. With the whole vanishing thing Sasuke pulled he'd been kind of... worried.

Hm.

[With the shinobi mostly scattered it was difficult to say that they could be rather organized themselves. But with two possible sources of information he hoped any surprises would be kept to a minimum.]

Itachi contacted me when I first arrived. [And dropped the horrible info bomb.] Have you spoken to him recently?

[itsjustdust]

Oh yeah, he keeps in contact. Gotta redo my text settings though or he'll complain at me.

[aflashoffaith]

What's wrong with your text?

[itsjustdust]

[Here sensei, let him type you up a sample.]

This is my text :D

[Then he cleared it and looked at him expectantly.]

[aflashoffaith]

[Obito. Obito.

Why.]

I can see why that might not be... preferable.

[cough]

[itsjustdust]

Most people seem fine with it but Itachi's got issues and Kimbley asked me to not use it so I should look around for other options, you know?

[believeit]

You can probably get arrested just for punching people y'know... [YOU KNOW. AS A WARNING..]

Yeah, they're both really great! My Dad's really awesome and great and kind and my Mom's a babe plus she kinda acts a bit like me so we get along and I think you'd get along with her too she's really... [...] spirited.

[believeit]

He still does! Hehe, he gets challenged to rival battles all of the time but usually tries to ignore it.

[He'd probably still do it, given the chance.]

Obito keeps saying that Kakashi-sensei isn't like how he used to be though.

[aflashoffaith]

They started that when they were about your age.

[Gai had been able to reach Kakashi in a way the rest of them really hadn't been able to- it was almost reassuring to know it still happened.]

Kakashi has faced a lot of... difficult situations, many when he was still young. [CAN'T TALK ABOUT PEOPLE'S PASTS BUT. PLOT.] He changed even in the time I knew him, I don't doubt the Kakashi you know is much different to the one Obito and I knew.

[believeit]

He's always late, and he reads Ero-sennin's porn all day long.

[Perfect description of Kakashi tbh]

[aflashoffaith]

That sounds like a good idea.

[He doesn't want sparkle text either!]

[aflashoffaith]

He really went with that idea did he?

[You come from a long line of perverts Naruto.]

I liked his first book better.

[aflashoffaith]

[While he'd been aware of Sakura's arrival, Minato had waited until she and Naruto had had time to catch up and talk before he made an appearance himself.

His son should have shown her to a room and pointed things out in town already... right?]

Looks like you made it one piece.

[believeit]

Not you too...! [WHINE. DAD NO.]

I dunno why adults like that stuff so much. Ero-sennin used to make me read the stuff he wrote, but it was really boring.]

[believeit]

[But then.]

Wait, do you mean the first Icha-Icha book, or the other first book?

[itsjustdust]

[When did he say he intended to make it stop sparkling sensei?]

Yeah so, I'm trying to work out how to fix it.

[aflashoffaith]

[He's private about it at least. SMALL FAVORS.]

The other. He'd only just started working on a draft for a more adult book-

[Yeaaaaah let's not go there.]

Ah... Have you read it too? It's where we got your name, you know.

[aflashoffaith]

[You kids and your weird fads.]

Any other plans while we're here? Since you don't necessarily need the badge like the others.

[No being a bum on sensei's watch!]

Might not be a bad idea to work for awhile.

[itsjustdust]

I'm gonna try and see about getting my pokemon to give me some eggs actually. I'll probably pick up a job again. If I do I'm stuck for at least a week enough!

[believeit]

Yeah, I read it. Sennin-jii-chan gave it to me when I was training with him..

...That book really helped a lot y'know. During that time you appeared for me, that you don't remember.

[aflashoffaith]

You might make more off the eggs too, huh?

You'd think they'd be a little more lenient on the days we're required to work given that we're encouraged to travel. ...Can't say I'm that bothered at the fact I'll have to stay in one place for a week though. Looking forward to it really.

[aflashoffaith]

I'm glad. Kushina and I hoped that by giving you the name, you'd grow to be like the Naruto from the book.

...From what you've told me, I think you might have already surpassed that.

[believeit]

Did you know that stuff that was said in that book were things said by this person called Nagato? Jiraiya was his sensei too, so we're all kinda like sibling disciples!

[He doesn't know what to say about surpassing his parent's expectations tough. Parental praise is not something he has had often, after all, so it leaves him just blushing a little and awkwardly scratching at his head.]

[aflashoffaith]

I didn't know his name, no. Did you get to meet him?

[A little awkward, maybe, but it was important to Minato that Naruto heard these things, and not out of some desire to make up for time lost between them.

He was proud of his son, had loved him long before he'd ever laid eyes on a crying bundle of blankets. Even if his words wouldn't be remembered when Naruto returned home... Minato still wanted his son to hear them.]

[believeit]

Yeah, I did. He...

[A sigh. Well. He may as well just explain the whole story, nw that it has been brought up, right?]

He was the one that killed Ero-sennin, then he attacked Konoha, destroyed it even. That's when the seal broke and I got to see you.

...And I guess 'cause of that, it helped me go talk to him instead of just getting revenge. Because of that, and the book, I managed to change his mind. In the end he really wanted peace, just like us! And he gave his life to revive everyone he killed in Konoha that day.

[So yeah. You could say that he met him 8|]
