Kunai the 15th: [Video/Action Violet]

[Getting to Violet had been a bit of an adventure, with a few stops to let the pokemon rest, and to get together things needed in Cherrywood. Thus, it had taken a bit longer than strictly warranted, but they had still gotten back to Violet before the rest of the people they were meeting there.

Obito was honestly surprised this was the case, but had immediately put up the money for all of them to stay somewhere, since he had it, so that when the others arrived they'd had a place set up and ready too.

Now, with everyone finally assembled, more or less at least, it was time to let everyone he'd... sort of failed to actually reassure over the last few weeks know that he was okay. Thus, his goal when he turned on his gear, outside with his Charizard curled around his back as something to lean on, and a young Lapras in his lap.]


Hey, everyone. I know that over the last few weeks you guys haven't been hearing much from me, and I'd like to apologize for that.

There were some... issues with my traveling situation. For those of you I did talk to, I'm fine, and if I worried you, well, as you can see...

I'm good.

[If one ignored the bandage on his cheek, the bruise that was a brilliant color on his forehead that dipped down over his eyebrow, and who knows what else that was out of sight.]

And for those I was in the cave with... Let me know if everything's okay, would you?

I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to tell you much about how he changed.

[He'd died not long after, himself. And Rin...]

I can tell you he became a little less serious, at least. The death of a comrade changes a person Obito, it's not surprising he would be much different after losing us.

Mmn.

[That wasn't really much of an answer, a low hum in agreement.

Rin had tried, of course, they all had, but...

He didn't know whether to say more or not- it might have been better for Rin to explain some things to Obito herself.

[He stayed quiet after Obito's questions, debating just how much he should share. Not that he didn't trust his student (and really, it didn't matter what was learned here), but it was habit to keep some of that information secret.]

...The Kyuubi was summoned into the village the night Naruto was born, and I used the Shiki Fūjin to seal away half of it. The rest was sealed into Naruto, making him a host.

Yeah.

[His tone softened with that affirmation, the memories of his wife, angry and desperate, playing back through his mind.

He'd never be able to forget the pain he'd felt watching her that night.
]

She was with me... in the end.

No, they shouldn't.

[Though if anything- he was grateful to be there for her, to hold her in his arms as they took their last breaths. It would never equal the many, many things she had done for him throughout their lives, but he was glad that in that moment, he could be strong for Kushina.]

But, though we might sometimes think we're alone...

[His arm rose, hand balling into a light fist before he tapped it against his chest, over his heart.]

Those we share a bond with are never really gone. I'll always be with you, just like I've kept you, with me.

Right.

[There were times when Minato wondered if he'd really done a good job teaching his team, "what if's" running through his mind- maybe he could have done something different, prepared them better for life as a ninja.

And then there were times when we couldn't be more proud of them, when they retained a hopeful and positive outlook, when they made difficult decisions to protect their beliefs.
]

I'm glad that I was able to be your Sensei. You, Kakashi, Rin... the three of you changed me in a lot of ways too.

[They never seemed to be able to catch a break, but Minato wouldn't have traded his kids or the struggles they had endured for the world. They too had shaped him into the man, the leader, he had become.]

Going to have to become a little faster to keep up with me.

[That's offered with affectionate teasing though, his smile mirroring Obito's]

Ah but where would I be if I gave away all my secrets? A legend has to keep some mystery about him, hm?

I have no doubt that you'll be able to do it. And in your own way.
