There's something strange, a sudden change
Around, all across the sky;
A change of scene as The Machine
Goes wild, and no one knows why

Everyone will say it's a great display
And we brought it for you
Cynthia and Lance set off Nukes From France™
Now you know what to do:

WE'RE KICKING OFF A ROUTE FOURTH WALL
BRING EVERY JOURNAL, ONE AND ALL
HAVE A PARTY, BREAK DOWN ALL THE WALLS
'Cause it's our game's anni-ver-er-sa-ry
And we're, so ha-a-a-ppy!

[It all seemed to have come together in Gai's head. Sure, Itachi was dead and a missing-nin, but he wouldn't rule out the possibility that such a handsome young man didn't secretly raise his own family on the side.

Now, Gai really looks confused.]

Itachi? But... That's impossible! Isn't it? [He leans forward to squint at him. He looks as he did so long ago so he certainly can't be the same Itachi who is opposing the leaf even if he always sounds the same at every age.]

[gentlechild]

[Naturally, Itachi leans back slightly. He's not a big fan of having Gai get too close.]

If it were, I wouldn't be here, would I?

[It's circular logic, but the proof is in his reality, as far as he's concerned.]

[beyouthful]

Then, what that means is that... you're not here at all? [He tentatively poses his answer.]

[gentlechild]

Do I look like a ghost?

[Then again, maybe he does, to someone who wouldn't have seen this childish face for years.]

This place warps time. How old are you?

[Rude, but rudeness is the least of the sins that can be heaped on his shoulders.]

[beyouthful]

[Time to assume one of his favorite poses.]

Physically, I am 31! On the inside, I'm still just as young as the day I met you and then some!

Tell me the truth! This is a genjutsu, isn't it?

[gentlechild]

[Oh god he's only gotten weirder.

Itachi has not forgotten how skilled Gai is or how much respect he has for him in general.

But he's really weird.]

That's incorrect. [And there's a huff under his tone. Does Gai really think Uchiha Itachi would get stuck in a mere genjutsu?] It's a different world.
