I'm not even sure this thing is working but, uh, if it is, leave a message!

Erk, right! This is Obito's mail. Um, yes. Message. Do that. I'll call you.

(This post can be used for any messages directed at Obito, as well as any ooc contact you wish to make with me as a player~)

Considering the fact that it's really likely that person did kill Kushina-nee and Sensei? Personally? It-

I have to figure out how to handle it. [It was a low murmur, and he tried to pet Inuzuka with something a bit less lackluster.]

[uncagedforjustamoment]

[He supposes it is viable enough that the one who controlled the Juubi could also control the ones that made up the beast. Presuming he is in fact the one that currently did. Controlling the rampage--or even simply triggering it--would then make him responsible for their deaths.

However, the matter is beside the point. Discovering new atrocities committed by him matters nothing at this point: that one has already done far more than enough to earn execution, digging up more material is a waste of time.]

As I said, you should provide both you and they time to adjust to the information separately, rather than aggravate the situation with your presence. As for your yourself, I demand you attend to one question first: Whether the name makes a difference in the kind of person you thought you knew.

[After all, when he posed the question he was never required to answer it. Now seems an appropriate time.]

[itsjustdust]

No, it doesn't. [His voice was quiet, and he stared at the pokemon, curling his fingers in the fur. He knew what Neji was trying to say, and it was good to keep in mind, that resolve he'd had, but it was slipping, and that was the worst part.]

It just keeps getting heavier.

[uncagedforjustamoment]

[If he seeks comfort then, frankly, he seeks it from the wrong person. None of the advice Neji has on hand is particularly helpful in avoiding the inevitable conclusion of Obito's life. Perhaps it is partly to do with the fact that he does see it as inevitable.

Instead he eventually offers something which is not exactly...comfort as much as advice.]

Perhaps, then, you shouldn't attempt to bear the burden alone.

[itsjustdust]

[He paused for a moment then, and shifted around until he could stare up at Neji, a bit surprised but...]

Are you volunteering?

[uncagedforjustamoment]

[That is a ridiculous and stupid question. Does he expect Neji to say something reassuring or touching? He's looking to the wrong person if so.

Neji huffs and frowns.]

It would seem there's no one else around to volunteer otherwise yet.

[itsjustdust]

[Neji, you are saying reassuring and touching things. You have to remember this guy dealt first with Kakashi, then got really attached to a computer program. You're in good company.

He's relaxing.]

So, yes. Okay. Okay, you win, I'll pack my stuff.

ACTION (like a day after the event idk)

[godaime]

[ So what if Tsunade's torso was bandaged entirely. Today she is going to get one step closer to solving her evolution crisis. ]

Are we ready, Obito? [ they're going to rock! ] I expect you on your most scholarly.

ACTION (that nebulous day that happened)

[itsjustdust]

[Way to put him on the spot there Tsunade, seriously.]

Um, right! Okay. Scholarly. You sure you got the right guy for that one?

[uncagedforjustamoment]

[He gives a small nod.]</>

Good. I'll inform Tenten.

[itsjustdust]

Okay then. See you down stairs in a little while. [He gave a soft sigh, then a lopsided smile before pushing to his feet and heading off inside.]

video; 17th

[used_friendship]

[So he's been thinking about this for a while now.]

Oi.

video; 17th

[itsjustdust]

[He was a little surprised to get the video, but didn't hesitate in answering.]

Hey.

[believeit]

[There's a pause, even though it's still recording.

Finally:]

Y'know you probably could've come to my party if you wanted to.

[itsjustdust]

[There was a moment of deer in the headlights then.]

...

.....

I was there.

[believeit]

You were?

[He didnt see you]

[itsjustdust]

I... didn't really talk to anyone, but Tenten pulled me along when she went.

[He had just kind of hid. He was a shinobi, he was good at that.]

[believeit]

Why didn't you come say hi?

[itsjustdust]

[He looked away from the screen at that, hesitating for a beat before looking back.]

I was still dodging Kushina-nee and I didn't want to risk her seeing me.

[believeit]

...Yeah that's probably best.

[Naruto lets out a long, drawn out sigh.]

She's probably still mad at ya, and I am too! But I guess.. thinking about it.. it's not really your fault is it. I mean not yet anyway.

[itsjustdust]

Yes, well, I wasn't completely sure I wanted to see her either. We... kind of had a fight.

A bad one.

[He looked back to the screen.]

But I was there, the black and orange gloves in the gift pile were from me.

[believeit]

Oh.. those. Yeah I wondered where they came from.

[Abluh. He runs a hand through his head nervously.]

Yeah. you can kinda see why though, right? Even if you don't remember, you're still the guy that did all those future things. Like my parents- [They had died. He had ended up a jinjuuriki. War.]

[itsjustdust]

But I'm not. That guy I mean.

Let me put it this way. Would you just... just accept that you had to be that if you were told you became that when you got older?

We have a lot in common you know.

[believeit]

That's what I'm tryin' to say. You're not like-- that guy yet.

And. As long as you're not going to try doing that stuff he did like attack people and all, then it's cool yeah?

Y'know?

[itsjustdust]

Yeah, I do.

I just... got really upset with Kushina-nee. [He heaved a sigh, shoulders drooping.]

She kinda pretty much declared that she didn't have faith in me and that hurt so... she's not the only one who needed a little time I guess.

We're okay though?
