Days of Life//015 [Voice]
[[ooc: Unannounced, sorry, I kept forgetting, but after Rin left, Obito went looking for her and hasn't returned home since. No one else has heard from him as he kept his PCD off so no one would try and dissuade him from going after her.]]
[Obito sounds a little bit tired, but mostly just depressed, worn, and a bit irritated]
Alright, first things ( Read more... )

...You're insanely lucky.

Hey- can I have just a tiny bit of credit or something for keeping myself alive? Geez.

No.

Look, I'm sorry. Again. I know that might not cut it with you 'cause I left so suddenly and you were worried, and again, I'm sorry for worrying you and apparently, keeping you up. I didn't tell you where I was going or when I left because I thought you'd try and stop me. I just wanted to go look for Rin.

I understand that. But saving...looking for Rin is not something you have to do alone, okay? We work together to keep our team together, and besides... I'm far more skilled with tracking than you are. We'd be more efficient as a team.
Just because there was a time when you had to go it alone, doesn't mean that's the case now.

'More efficient as a team': you mean you look for Rin and I follow you around and feel useless, right? Yeah, great, fun.
I never said that, I just...didn't think you'd let me go.

You're only useless if you let yourself be that way. Which you do, often enough. What happened to the Obito who thought he was so cool because he had the Sharingan, hm? It doesn't matter that I like you, now, I'm not going to coddle you when we're on a mission.
How would you know if you never asked?

Well, I might be awesome sometimes but believe it or not, there are times I know I'm not. Like, right now, for instance. You have a Sharingan- you've had it for years- and you have tons of training and you'd just end up protecting me. 'scuse me if I'm just a little jealous over here.
And I don't know, Kashi; only that asking would mean telling and I didn't want to be stopped.

So I use my skills to protect you. So? It's what teammates do. It's a hell of a lot better than letting you die.
You're a Chuunin, Obito. I'd like to think that means you're capable of sneaking out of the house. Besides, at least then we'd have known where you went and why, even if we didn't like it.

It's not like I want to die or anything, I'd just...rather be able to protect myself so you can worry about protecting yourself. Don't think I don't know that by protecting me you could get yourself injured. I worry too, y'know.
Impressive, right? Though last time I think I failed that too- and that was just to go outside! What kind of basis did you think I had for not telling you? I'm just tired... of everyone telling me what I should be doing. 'Cause I guess I don't know how to make decisions myself or something

I'm fine, Obito. I survived raising a squad of genin, I think I'm more than capable of protecting you. You watch my back, I'll watch yours, okay?
Maybe you need to work on your technique before you intend to use it, then. If you'd rather we don't hold your hand and guide you...sure. Go ahead.
Reply
Yeah, but...this is different. I mean, even if you died, you'd come back, but...Kashi... I'll try.
I did! ...for a few days. I even knew exactly how to open the doors in the house so they wouldn't make any sounds! 'Guiding' is fine, but not like: 'You can't do this because of' ...whatever. It's just even worse when you guys make sense and I don't want you to. Like going after Rin: maybe you guys do think it's stupid, but to me, it was too important to sit and think about.

...Good. That's all I ask.
"Stupid" is never an adjective I'd use to describe going to help a teammate.
But the fact that you didn't bother to consider your other team-memebers, or to think about how else you could approach the situation, rather than charging in unprepared and without informing anyone--that was stupid.

Well, I dunno about you and sensei, but I'm no 'genius'. Sometimes, though, there just isn't time to think. Call it stupid all you want.
