[This last week has been hellish for most of them, but to realise that Mitarashi has a curse seal-- that she apparently had all along. It makes him curious. It's the same as Sasuke has, and he knows exactly who gave him that.

It takes him a long time to pluck up the courage to go and talk to her, but very carefully he knocks on her door.]

Oi... Mitarashi-sensei?

[She frowns at the door, because that was not who she thought was going to answer her proposition. But she opens the door, staring at the kid.

Nevermind the fact she still has no pants on.]

What is it, Uzumaki?

[He really can't help himself. His eyes drop to her shoulder, flicking right back to her moments later...

It's difficult to remember what to say. He's seen a lot of pairs of legs thanks to Ero-sennin, and yet-- they sort of, lure his eyes.]

Uh.

[She grins at his... pre-occupation, but instinctively lifts a hand to her neck to cover up the damage there.]

Like what you see?

[He shakes his head quickly, blinking a few times before looking up at her, and leaning in pointing to her hand at her neck.]

I thought it was just last week. You got the... mark thing. Same as-- Uh. Same as before.

[She freezes for a second--clearly that wasn't what she was expecting. And then she drops her hand as if she just realized it was there, crossing her arms and frowning.]

It's-- Not the same, but...

[She lets out a huff. How to explain this to the loud blond one?] Mine's sealed, more or less. Last week... it wasn't. So, no, not the same. What's it to you?

[He wasn't expecting her to actually talk to him about it, either. He listens though, nodding a few times and looking away. However briefly.]

It's sealed.

I just. I got a friend, who has a friend, and... they have one of those. I just--- Orochimaru gave y'it?

[If he wasn't Jiraiya-san's student, if he wasn't Minato-san's kid... but she hasn't got much left, here, either. So she'll talk, if unwillingly.]

Sandaime-san's work, the sealing.

Uchiha, the younger one, right? 'Course he did. Back... back when I was his student. [She's interested to see how he'll take that little piece of information...]

[He's oblivious of her ties to his Father and Ero-sennin. Thinking about these obvious things really isn't his forte after all.]

Oh. Right.

Wait, what? You were Orochimaru's student? But you're! You're back in the village!

[She shakes her head, leaning against the doorframe... but then some things aren't as common knowledge to this new generation as they are to her own.]

Orochimaru wasn't always a traitor and S-class criminal, you know. Or did Jiraiya-sensei never tell you even that much? [She's really kind of curious about that.]

[There have always been things that other people knew, that he didn't. Even things about himself. Things like this, things that don't directly affect him-- he doesn't even know who he would have asked about it. Other than--]

Eh. Ero-sennin told me loads! It... I just didn't think about, if y'got it when he was still in the village. That ain't really...

[His hand drops to his stomach, but this really isn't the same. Orochimaru had given Sasuke the seal because he wanted to use his body - lure him out of Konoha. So why would he have given it to his pupil?]

Hm. [Just how much, and about what, and why... but Jiraiya isn't here for her to go berate and/or ask, so.]

Really what?

... Huh? Oh.

It ain't really... normal? [There's a frown. That word doesn't seem to apply to much.]

[She gives a derisive snort.] Kid, my teacher was one of the legendary three, my baseline for 'normal' was fucked from the start.

[He relates to that. If... a little distantly and in much, much simpler ways.]

Yeah, but- didn't he have t'like... tell someone or somethin'? I mean... you could have died, right?

[She figured he might.]

I didn't. Everyone else did. Die, I mean. One out of ten survive, and I was the lucky one. [And yes, she's aware she's telling him there's a 90% chance his friend could have died in that forest.] He didn't tell anyone. I didn't tell anyone because he said not to, and soon after that... Well, after that he left the village, so.
