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?

Yikes. Holy shit, kid, what the hell did you get into?

[He was looking a lot better than he had been before Gene, so why did you have to put it like that?]

What do you mean what did I get into?

[Unfortunately, Gene's long term memory is about that of a hamster.]

You're sportin' a pretty nasty look, there. You pick a fight with the wrong guy?

[He lifted a hand to touch the mostly healed bruise and gave a sheepish smile.]

...I kinda ran into a wall.

Yeah, those walls can be dangerous. You wouldn't believe how many people they ambush every year. Wall-related deaths have skyrocketed this year alone.

Considering it was a pitch black cave, I don't think anyone can blame me for being a little clumsy.

[He was totally sure people would blame him anyway now that one person was pointing it out though.]

[Well it could be worse, you could be bandaged up and also sitting in a hospital like Neji. Who has nothing better to do than rest, read, instruct his Meditite, and finally look at messages on the pokegear.]

Were you caught in some sort of cave-in? [He's just guessing from the kid's words and the bandages, but it's a hobby to puzzle these things out so humor him. Or assume it's concerned curiosity, whichever.]

[Well, that comment got a rather interesting face out of him, something between chagrined and irony. If only he knew...]

Haha, nah, that hasn't happened since before I got here.

[That is an interesting face. Not the sort he'd expect to see leading up to 'no'.]

You were lost in the cave, then?

This time, yeah. I'm starting to really have issues with caves.

I mean, first one er... [He took a quick look around, didn't find his teammate, and continued his sentence.] kills me, then I wake up here, and now... Well, now one tries to eat me, and then hangs onto me for nearly two weeks. It's ridiculous.

[He shook his head, tipping his head back against the charizard behind him.] I mean, I get that the universe has it out for me sometimes but this is just too much, you know?

Let me tell you this, if I never see a cave again it's going to be too soon.

[Well, that would explain the expression, simply a similar one to his own on another person. And that makes at least the third person counting himself--fourth, if his suspicions about the third war kunoichi prove correct--brought to this place after death and revived. Is it significant? He can't say yet, but it is noted all the same.

The comment about carnivorous caves is preposterous and therefore quickly dismissed. Still, after nearly dying by way of oversized organic arrow and then being killed by another more thoroughly oversized organic missile, he did understand the boy's sentiment about caves.

He gives a short laugh that might actually be mistaken for a scoff by the unobservant, and quirks a faint smile.]

Perhaps it would be best not to. I've heard a third such encounter is proof of one's fate being forever intertwined with something. [Not that he believes such things anymore, but still. It's an amusing thought, isn't it?]

[He sobers briefly, the words making something ping in his mind that he can't really remember, but the memory is unpleasant, whatever it is, and he quickly shook it off to flash a grin right back at him.]

Hey now, there are way better things to have yourself stuck to forever than caves, alright?

Nothing good comes out of a cave.

I'd rather get stuck with, I dunno, either of my teammates. [He paused, then huffed, shaking his head sharply.] Or I'll just tell fate to take a walk... I mean, fate is one of those things people take into their own hands.

Reality is what you make of it, you know?

So... yeah. [He flashed him a brilliant smile.] Here is a place of second chances and changed lives.

I may not have the chance to get up and be Hokage here, but that doesn't mean I can't be the best leader I can be, and help everyone how I can, you know?

No need to go dragging a heavy weight like fate into it... Or caves. [He pulled a face.]

You're injured. [ So she points out the most obvious part of this whole video. ]

....Yeeep. But it's been tended to. Repeatedly. I swear.

My teammate is a medic and she would have pinned me down and treated me if I hadn't gone willingly about it.

And Tsunade. Her too.

I'm starting to think there's no medics left in Konoha actually...

[Are you in Violet yet Sakura? If you are you can come see him in person if you don't believe him!]

[And this was another talkative one. A Konoha shinobi as well. One from his future, past, or present though? Clearly neither too far in the past or the future if he knew and used the term Hokage and had what sounds to be a usual team composition.

While 'reality' is less changeable, he can at least agree with this shinobi on the concept of dismissing fate.]

I don't see the point in romanticizing the place. Wherever this place may be, it is nothing more or less than what those who control it or those who live within it make it.

Oh, don't joke about that!

[ Even if there's a fair number of them, there's just something unsettling about Obito making that kind of remark. Stuffing it away, she gives a perplexed frown in response. ]

So you're with them? [ ~~Not sure where she is right now WOE.~~ ]

[He gave her a brilliant smile in turn.] Yeah. Rin was there and there's no way I couldn't go get her, and she had people with her so...

Here we all are. Shino is around here somewhere too.

Yeah, I needed to take care of something before I could meet up with the others.

[ Sakura explains in a quieter tone than usual. Actually, she needed a bit of space away from the group to mentally prepare herself for everything. The conversation with Tsunade was going to be taxing and probably the most difficult thing she'll have to do here. ]

Tsunade-sama, is she getting along alright?

It's not romanticizing. [He quieted a bit at this, shaking his head slowly.]

You have no idea how many people I know here died when or where they're from. [He shook his head slightly.] One of the people I know even compiled accounts from several people here, as well as his own experiences... Did you know no one dies here?

You can maim someone, cause them permanent harm, but they won't die. Any lethal things will just... make you wake up with that all better.

I mean, me? I had half my body completely crushed and I was missing an eye before I got here, and then it was like that morning before I saved my teammate, everything intact.

I don't think it would happen if I got squished under a huge rock again but... you know. They patch you up on arrival and expect you to stay that way.

Yeah, I think she's handling being here a lot better than the last couple times I saw her. [His tone quieted a bit, lifting with amusement.]

I've never seen Rin so excited to just know someone before.

It's a great honor to be around her. [ Sakura says simply. ] So I can imagine it. If we're fortunate, there may be some new skills to learn here. It'd be nice to learn them alongside her.

[ If she's willing, she might add. ]

I can't speak for her but... she's always been happy to learn things. I doubt that will change just because we're here.

[...A place where people can't die? Is that even possible? How would that function? It's...if this is true, then that certainly is no help for the idea that this might be some sort of afterlife--a theory he still refuses to adhere to, despite the presence of the recently and not-so recently dead.]

Have you seen this happen? [The dying and coming back thing. It's rather difficult to have a controlled experiment with that, since a failed one would result in a pointless death...but if he had the opportunity to simply see what happened...]

You're not the first I've seen who arrived here after death and in perfect health. [There's himself, for instance.] From what I can see, whatever they use leaves no marks, either, which reaches beyond the limits of medical jutsu. It's possible part of whatever they use our chakra on is powerful life-transfer jutsus. Which is an extreme amount of effort and energy to expend on giving people a 'happy place'.

No, but it's a pretty common understanding in certain circles. I've been in contact with more than one group that's got Intel since coming here and they all seem to agree on it. No one recommends it but...

It's not just that either. Everyone is made into a human when they come here. I'm good friends with someone who didn't even have a real body before he came here.

He was a book smaller than my thumb.

You wouldn't mind it too much if we borrowed her, would you?

[ A jest, but it might be hard to tell when it comes to how serious Sakura is about first aid in general. ]
