♦ "Pirates off the starboard bow!" It's an enemy ship! Attack!!
♦ You and your crew are hanging out on your ship. Just another day at sea!
♦ "LAND, HO!" Hey look, a new island! How about you go explore it? Tell us what you find!

But nobody knows for certain.
[He's not alone in the displeasure of being here in the first place.]
There's no harm in trying. [And it's better than just standing around and waiting for something to happen.]
no subject
All we have is shreds of information. It's just like -- [Oops, almost slipped up.]
no subject
LATCHES ONTO THAT SUDDEN CUT OFF]
... Just like what?
wow i'm not good at html
Just like home, in that way. Villages where everyone thinks they know everything, but no one knows anything. [His gaze sweeps over the civilians milling around, distaste clear in his expression.]
Or they hide what they know.
i will give u lessons yes
It wasn't pretty. Did Sasuke know too? Or was this about something else? The truth about Itachi she still hasn't been told?]
Maybe it's for protection.
[Protecting the civilians from being interrogated. Protecting foreigners like Sakura and Sasuke from their own tarnished history. Or protecting whoever has that ruby they needed to find to find out if the myth was true or false.]
ty sensei i will be your rock lee
Whatever the case, interrogation hasn't been useful even when we found someone to interrogate.
Our only option has been to travel further and hope we find something useful.
YOOOOUTHFUL HTML HAAAAAAAA
So you've been working together with someone?
I WILL FOLLOW YOUR LESSONS FOREVER!!!!
[... how should he even ... there's really no gentle way to break it to her, so Sasuke does what he always does when there is no gentle way: he says it point-blank:]
He's thirteen, here.
CRIEs INTO SUNSET
Knowing he's thirteen? She blurts out a]
What?
/WAVES CRASH IN THE BG
He's thirteen. Like I said, time doesn't make sense here. His last memory of our world is --
[His expression flickers, just a second, before he continues:] -- the Uchiha massacre. He woke here after he left Konohagakure.
/SOME SPARKLES??
Would they even remember this?]
You don't sound angry.
[Sakura knows she has to be careful, like walking on eggshells, when they're talking about his clan. But she needs to ask because it's been bothering her for some time now and they finally have a chance to talk. The 'truth about Itachi.']
Did Itachi... really kill your clan?
/TEETH PING
Of course, the vast majority of Konoha-nin know nothing. He's not surprised, but his expression darkens nonetheless, gaze hard and distant when he responds, flat:]
Yes. He killed them in one night and left the village to be a fugitive on orders authorized by the Third.
/THUMBS UP
Th-The Third ordered--?! No way!
[She had tried to think of theories as to what the TRUTH about Itachi was. What she had been expecting judging from the change in Sasuke was that Itachi really hadn't killed them all and was only framed. So he left.
Not that he was on orders from their own Hokage. Like Sasuke had been before when told of the truth of his brother, Sakura is in disbelief. Sasuke accepted that? It would be like Tsunade-sama making that order. She knew her Hokage had to deal with sketchy things but she was a good woman. The Hokage were... good people. Why would the Third order someone to kill their own clan?
Sakura turns now to Sasuke with even MORE questions.]
Why? Why would the Third order something like that? The Uchiha were important to the village, weren't they? They were the police and they're one of the strongest clan!
/GETS OUT THE GREEN SPANDEX
But when those people are in the village, and the Hokage makes them bad: that's the problem.]
That was why. We were too strong. The elders feared us, and they kept us apart.
[The compound he'd never questioned, the long walk from home to the Academy, until the First had accused the Second of sequestering them away against his own wishes. The badge he'd once hoped to wear on his own shoulder -- a cage of hope, and one that had ultimately led to the self-destruction of what it contained.]
And so the clan decided on a coup -- [He rephrases, because he has to face this:] My father and mother planned the coup.
My brother prevented it. Those were his orders.
NO PLS
It was't her fault though. The village had hidden that secret from not only her, she's sure. But Naruto knew about it, didn't he? And Kakashi-sensei. Everyone but her, and not until now. Perhaps it was better she heard it from Sasuke because she's not sure she would believe it from anyone else. They weren't as involved as Sasuke.
She doesn't know what to say. What do you say to someone when their clan, their family is the one to decide to ruin themselves? She never knew what to say to Sasuke before. What do you say to that misery?
Naruto would understand. He understood the agony of being ostracized like the Uchiha were. He was a jinchuriki, people feared and hated him too.]
Why didn't Itachi talk to your mother and father? Why didn't he try to stop it?
YES SPRINGTIME IS SPANDEXTIME
But something about Sakura's plain shock, the innocence of her questions, touches a nerve. Perhaps there is no accusation in her tone; perhaps he's hearing more than what is there, but he's turned on her abruptly, voice a snarl, eyes sharp with anger, and when he speaks it's -- it's not entirely to her.]
Do you think I know those answers? Do you imagine he's kept me updated all this time on his reasons?!
He was a child in ANBU and he wanted no more of war. What the village did to our clan -- what it made my brother do to our family -- but you would have had us bow our heads and take whatever the Hokage chose to bring upon us. Your precious Konohagakure was kept safe from the consequences of its actions by hosing down its streets with Uchiha blood, and you ask me why Itachi didn't stop it a different way?
NOO LMAO
Her brows had been drawn high but they drop down slowly, eyes narrowing.]
I wouldn't have had your clan do that!! [Because of what it had done to Sasuke.
She had said it was better to die fighting than do nothing at all. Was it true for this? She really doesn't know how to fix this, or make Sasuke not hate Konoha (or the shinobi world) for doing what it had done to his family. If Naruto were here he would--
But he's not. It's up to her to help him. She had said she wasn't going to depend on him anymore but it was so hard when he was always there. She wishes he was, selfishly.
But she doesn't know what she would do. It's there in her face as she tries to think of something, anything else that would have been better.]
LET IT CLING TO YOUR YOUTHFUL SKIN
You say that. [He has no doubt many have said that, the First being -- the first, and through the succession.] I trusted the Third, too.
[It's the first he's admitted to that. The Third had been kind to him when he'd been alone. There had been a time when he'd mourned the man, genuinely, a childish grief amplified by the weight of sombre black around him.
And then he'd betrayed the Third's memory, and then he'd learned that he'd been betrayed by the Third long ago. But Sasuke didn't raise the dead to continue to tear the world apart on the strength of fury and vengeance. He'd wanted the truth, from every side he could hear it, and the truth was -- the truth, stark now that it's clear. He glares a moment longer, then forces himself to exhale, turn away from a target that knows nothing.]
Konohagakure was built on betrayal and blood from the start. Everything that has happened since has just been repetition.
BUT I LIKE SWEATS
She doesn't know what to do with him here, either. They're on the same side, they're looking for the same thing. She wants things to be normal between them.
Everything he's been saying since she asked about Itachi just confuses her more and more. Finally, she can't take being silent.]
What are you talking about?
SPANDEX ALSO GIVES YOU FREE MOVEMENT
When he speaks again, his voice is even, controlled:]
I was the one who brought the Hokage back. [Well, technically Orochimaru, but the man is practically Sasuke's responsibility for unleashing upon the world again.]
They were able to tell a much more detailed version of Konoha's history than we learned in school.
SO Do SWEATS!!!
Sasuke brought them back? Sasuke even knew the Edo Tensei? She had disliked the nature of that jutsu, even while Kabuto had done it. She still doesn't care for it much but she couldn't deny that it's helped them recently in the war.]
And that history isn't as clean as we were led to believe?
[What the hell is she SUPPOSED to believe in anymore?]
BUT SPANDEX IS MUCH MORE YOUTHFUL!!!!!!!!!!
Konoha was built on alliance between the First's clan and Madara's. They'd spent generations killing each other, and then they expected harmony.
When they didn't get it, the Senju found ways to enforce it.
nooooOOOOOOOOOOOoooOoOOoooOOO
The Senju was the First's clan, if she was reading/remembering correctly. If there was no harmony, weren't both clans to blame?]
--By separating the Uchiha?
YES SPANDEX WILL INCREASE YOUR YOUNG HIP ENERGY
The clan was too slow to act at times, and too quick to offense at other times. [His father had seemed proud of their role in the village, but he's learned that the father he'd known had been the bare reflection of one fact of the man Fugaku had been, and his mother ...
Itachi had spoken of it with pride, too, the precinct and the compound cobbled together at the edge of the village, walled away.]
There was too much to forgive.
BUT GAI HAS OLD HIPS AND HES OLD
You didn't know about any of this when you were growing up, did you? That your clan-- that your mother and father, even Itachi, felt this way.
[She looks now to Sasuke for an answer. If there was too much to forgive then...]
Why do you want to be Hokage now?
HOW CAN YOU CALL HIS FLEXIBLE HIPS OLD
COS IM A BOSS
CAN YOU BOSS HIPS THAT DON'T LIE
MY BOSS HIPS RULE THOSE OLD HIPS
i'm a little troubled by this phrasing unless that is what you're into which no judgment
