Re: Recent happenings in game (Contains Canon Spoilers)

[beforethedarkness]

I need to talk to him.

[Taking a deep and shaking breath. Talking things over has shaken his perspective on everything, and...]

I don't care where Obito heard all this from. I need to talk to him about it. I need to hear it from him... The real reasons why.

I don't care how you do it. Get him there now.

Felt like the right/wrong moment. :D

[first_host]

Are you sure it's talking and not destroying? Sometimes things are best left unsaid or contemplated over until you're in a stable mental condition.

Oh dear XD

[beforethedarkness]

I have to know.

[He's taking another breath, his eyes closed as he looks away from this weird woman.]

He... He knows more about it. I need to know the truth from him.

<3

[first_host]

Child, do not allow for rash judgements to be made in a complicated emotional state. I've seen far too many people become lost to that side of themselves and make things far worse for themselves than is necessary.

[At least she's being... well, she's attempting to placate him at least somewhat. Any sign of temper is hidden beneath the calm and presentable exterior.]

Are you sure the truth is what you want? The truth can be far more complicated than you could ever imagine.

/before i nap whoops

[believeit]

I can't believe he told you!

[beforethedarkness]

What I want is something I can never have. I need to hear it for myself from someone who was there.

[And, as far as he knows... That's limited to one person.]

/keeps you awake forever

[beforethedarkness]

I asked. And...

[A sigh. He's not even energetic enough to be pissed at you for hiding the truth from him right now, Naruto.]

... It made things clearer. Things that didn't used to make sense.

[first_host]

If you are bent upon the truth, then I do offer one simple piece of advice, do keep in mind that our world tends to make us choose the toughest decisions imaginable. Whether it be a sacrifice of yourself, taking the life of someone you care for, or choosing between two extremes that have dire consequences no matter what you do to prevent them.

[Light, almost pitiful smile.] I've heard enough about the future state to know that whatever you decide will surely lead you to your goal.

[beforethedarkness]

What goal?

[That smile? That angers him a little, as do her words. He's looking away, shaking just a little. Considering that he just got told that everything he ever knew is a lie he's understandably shaken.]

All I had to live for was revenge. But... I need to know.

[first_host]

Mmn, that much is up to you, isn't it? I feel it would be best for me to not give too many details as it is not something I witness myself. Though there are others here that know the future better than I would, far better than you yourself may know.

[Really, she's sure she's upsetting him. But she's trying her best to at least calm the tension of the situation, mostly.]

What Hiruzen and Tobirama have done is not something I personally condone, nor are they decisions I agree with by any stretch of the imagination. Shinobi were meant to be guardians of the village and civilians, not to be used as weapons of self destruction.

/ffft

[believeit]

He still shouldn't have said anything! Argh!

[beforethedarkness]

Why? So I could kill my own brother as planned?

[beforethedarkness]

... Why does it matter if you agree or not? It still happened.

[first_host]

Because I want you to know that that's not the foundations Konoha was to stand upon. Hashirama did his best and worked hard for peace between the Senju and Uchiha, what Hiruzen and Tobirama did is deplorable and goes against everything that the village was meant to be.

[Smallest bit of a smile.] And I have it on good authority that you're teammates with an Uzumaki. [Shut up, she likes knowing how her clan goes.]

[beforethedarkness]

... What does him being Uzumaki have to do with anything.

[counterintel]

[Just leaving this here.]

[first_host]

Good luck getting rid of him if you do decide to go down that path, we're quite stubborn creatures by nature.

[beforethedarkness]

[Still, so still. Still and staring and... Confused.

Part of him wants to follow what he's done for a good chunk of his life, to try and pursue Itachi and avenge the death of his clansmen but... With what he knows now... Can he do that?

He has to know the truth, but instead of one of the many questions that wants to come out he only manages to speak one word.]

Niisan.

[beforethedarkness]

I hadn't noticed.

[Sarcasm. Well, at least he's not completely gone yet...]

[first_host]

And considering his mother... Well, I certainly just sound sentimental than anything else.

[Silly Sasuke, you can't run.]

[counterintel]

[It might not look like it, but Itachi is just going to stand here -- take a deep breath, and let it out, nice and slow.]

Sasuke.

[He's not sure he knows how to address the issue. He might not have done those things yet where he's from-- but he knows about the 'future'.]

So. Obito told you everything.

[beforethedarkness]

...

I need to hear it from you.

[He's terrified. He doesn't want it to be true, but he doesn't want to hate his brother either. He has to know the truth and... He's been through so much and survived through his cowardice. Even if this kills him, he stop now.]

Why did you really kill them. Why did you really leave me alive.

[beforethedarkness]

[Not so much running as going batshit, but sure why not.

Also this face because what.]

[first_host]

[Oh. Oh maybe she shouldn't go on about that, well. At least she's not ruffling your hair, Sasuke? That's certainly a thing.]

It's a long story... Either way, don't take him for granted. If one lacks in strength, their spirit will certainly make up for it.

[counterintel]

[It won't be easy, he knows that - and he'd never expected to have to tell it to him like this. In fact, he'd hoped that it wouldn't come to a point where Sasuke would want the kind of revenge that would lead him to do the things he does in the future.]

The future of the village depended on what we could do to stop the clan.

[We. He hasn't heard mention of Shisui yet in your little conversation there.]

[jikogisei]

[Ah, so now Sasuke wants the truth. Unfortunately, Itachi isn't in a truth-telling mood.]

You're always so eager to see me, Sasuke.

[If not for getting revenge than for getting answers.]
