Getting the voice back

[broken_tool]

I do appreciate the fact that you have decided now would be a good time to bring me back, to try and play me somewhere again, but do you think you are ready for such a thing? It has been quite some time since you have brought me out here like this and I believe the others would be more interested in being put somewhere than I am. Particularly considering you had promised Konoha's Hokage a place to go and did the same thing for that rather... distressing and a bit creepy medic, as well.

I do not mind if you let me rest a little longer, to let you get back into things and to figure out what you are going to do. I really, really do not mind at all as your own worries are more important than worrying about me.

Though if you do decide on somewhere to place me, I would like to request it be somewhere that is not traumatizing or dark for once. While those places did help me grow, I would rather not have to worry about my mental state or my health.

[Giving you such a look, Haku. Aren't you supposed to be dead? Also how did no one see you here earlier fff]

[broken_tool]

[Oh, oh hello there. You look about the same as he's used to, Sasuke. Which is a lot better than being confused by people looking a lot older than he knew. And I have no idea.]

... Sasuke-kun.

[beforethedarkness]

[Oh he knows the feeling. He's run into a few Narutos like that, not to mention Ino. Yet Kabuto looks the same... What's up with that?

And it's that weird time paradox thing that's making him think that Haku being there likely has the same cause behind it.]

Haku.

[broken_tool]

[Who even knows anymore, some people just don't really age. Or some such crazy thinking.]

You seem unnerved that I am here, do you hold a grudge I do not know about? Because that seems rather silly of you to do when I was only doing as I was told, just as you and your teammates did.

[beforethedarkness]

No. That fight was what activated my Sharingan.

[If anything he should be grateful, but it would kill him to admit to such. A beat, and he glances away.]

But you weren't really trying to kill us, were you?

[broken_tool]

[Ah, this line of questioning again. All the times he's answered that question to every Naruto that would ask him, it never changed. He never lost his smile, at least.]

Good to know that it at least pushed you further into becoming a much stronger and more stable shinobi. As for that question... [He trails off just a bit, looking for the right words even now.] My orders were to kill, this is true, but I do not kill unless my hand is absolutely forced. I aim to make my opponent unable to fight, not die.

[beforethedarkness]

I see. Back then we weren't even close to able to beat you.

/late forever

((Long story short, osteoarthritis in one of my wrists made it almost impossible to type until now. orz))

Of course you were not, no one expects for someone my age to be any where near the level I was at. Nor would one suspect genin to be able to deal with me, another reason I was trying not to kill anyone as it was not a fair fight.

Don't worry about it, I'm no better. *hug*

[beforethedarkness]

[He sighs, shaking his head.] You'd have to be strong to afford that kind of mercy.

[youngesthokage]

::long curious stare:: I think in my universe you're actually still alive and I've never seen a report about you. Hello.

[broken_tool]

[Returning the curious look, he can't really recall anyone looking like that. Other than a vague semblance to someone he had come into contact with.]

Ah? That certainly cannot be unless we never got the job we had to be rid of a bridge or, alternatively... [He trails off for a moment, giving a light frown.] Alternatively we succeeded in our job, but if there is no report about us then that cannot be the case. Either way, hello. I... do not think we have met?

[youngesthokage]

::He inclined his head:: We haven't. In fact, I know someone who goes by your name. I believe he values it very highly. I am Uchiha Itachi.

[broken_tool]

Goes by my name...? [Really, he should be used to hearing these things by now. But even after all of this time it's still the strangest thing. And that last name, it makes him curious.] Related to Uchiha Sasuke?

[youngesthokage]

::He inclined his head:: My otouto. The one who goes by your name is... an older alternate universe version of him actually.

[broken_tool]

I could not imagine such a manner that I would have survived what had happened or that situation not have happened. It is... intriguing, to say the least.

[youngesthokage]

He hasn't explained the situation, but I understand he entire situation is... well. Whatever happened in wave was apparently very important to him, even if it didn't happen in my world at all. His team was sent int he opposite direction for their first C-rank with me.

[broken_tool]

[Smallest bit of an amused look at that, using the back of his hand to cover his lips for a moment.] Whatever it was, if it was the same as what happened to me, he is far luckier than I ended up being.

[youngesthokage]

::he inclined his head:: Perhaps. He had a very hard life before he found himself in my timeline. ::he studied him:: It's a pleasure to meet the man who my brother honored highly enough to take the name of.

oh my, here we are again.

[momochi]

[ that's a shame, haku. being a shinobi alone was a health risk, both mentally and physically. he's almost disappointed to hear him say it out loud. ]

Tch. "Worry about your health"?

Oh my

[broken_tool]

((Sorry for being so late. Osteoarthritis hit me like a train in my wrists there.))

[Oh, oh that's not what he had expected at all. A frown tugs at his lips, merely watching Zabuza with an almost emotionless gaze.]

It would not be a problem if the places I was to be put in left me with any semblance of my abilities. While speed and strength are left intact, my ability to use my chakra was completely negated.

waifuuuu

[jesusnin]

Hey, Haku!

[LONG TIME NO SEE]

Husbandoooo

[broken_tool]

[THAT is saying the very least.]

Ah! Naruto-kun. You look... older than last I remember.
