On his sunshineverse AU'd History

[noboatbigenough]

If this is your idea of better, brat, you need to re-familiarize yourself with the definition.

Even if those naive plans of yours are possible, do you know how to wage a war?

[The smile is sharp and bitter.]

Let's pretend for a moment what you want could actually happen. What happens after? Who will lead the splintered remains? Who has the acumen and charisma and the desire to unite in truth a country torn apart by civil war yet again?

You don't have an answer do you, brat. "If" doesn't count. But I'll give you this. If you and your co-conspirators can bring in enough support and the right mix of talents, I might consider following you.

Until then, my true loyalties lie where they always have, with the real Fourth Mizukage.

/fangirl squeal. Kisameeeeeeeeeee!

[godofrain]

Always the loyal man, aren't you, Kisame? Water Country have yet to regain some stability, I take it?

[noboatbigenough]

My "best" quality, according to some. And in this alternate... world, I've been sent to, there was never a time Water Country was truly stable, and Yagura-sama still rules. The only thing that might be considered better is that there haven't been all out massacres of the clans.

[godofrain]

And yet a strange quality to have when you are a shinobi.

Be happy that this new universe is at least familiar, and does not have its own personnality or sense of humor.

If I may, how is Ame faring in that world you are in?

[noboatbigenough]

Aren't we expected to be loyal to our villages? And for most, our comrades?

Familiar is subjective, but I understand what you mean. I've been put in other places like you describe before.

[He laughs.] It's good that in this state I can draw on the knowledge this brat has, eh? I wouldn't know otherwise. Ame fares well, and you still lead. Akatsuki exists, but is larger and has a different purpose. Like Kiri, in this game, few of the ninja there are "played." Only you at the moment, actually. Konoha has the largest ... population by far.

Something the brat would like to change. Heh, good luck to him.

[godofrain]

You are supposed to be obedient, for all the Villages hide that truth under the word 'Loyalty'. And except in Konoha, and maybe Suna, the mission comes first, long before any thought about your comrades.

At least, you are not back to square one, with your abilities gone, and your only ally is not an alien. Strange place, to be sure.

Konoha has always been known for its large population: it's the most popular Village, after all. And your muse seems knowledgable: make sure he doesn't fall into ill-intentionned hands.

And if he ever want to torment you some more, ask him to throw you into the Wake: I wouldn't mind another ninja around, and misery love company.

[noboatbigenough]

That is true, but lies like that undercut our world.

[Stormy expression for a moment, and he just nods at the rest.]

I'd say that I'd do that, but the fewer places I go, the better for me, eh?

[godofrain]

Or at least better for your mental health, yes. The things our 'muns' can put us through would not seem displaced in the Torture and Interrogation section of any Village.

Well, uf you ever need me, you know where to find me now.

[noboatbigenough]

No, they wouldn't. I suppose I could consider myself lucky I've never been subjected to some of the tortures the brat has heard about in other games.

And I do. Maybe we'll talk again someday, eh?
