[The video flicks on, and Kaito is there looking curious.]

Has anyone been able to locate a news archive? A single newspaper could be useful too. Or are those missing along with anything else that's remotely useful?

[Well. . .this wasn't something he had expected to see on his own device. Never mind it was now several hours after that particular event, the sting of seeing it repeated was fresh enough. That's why Sasuke shuts his device without a word in that moment and levels an unamused stare at the hunter.

[Kaito has already forgotten about it by the time Sasuke actually views it. He glances at the Sasuke, having heard the recording well enough from his perch a few feet away.]

That was you fault. It wouldn't have ended up on the network if you'd taken it easy like I told you to.

[pro_defunctis]

[Because he was. You know. Enough to get around for the most part. >>]

[A growl]

Seems like you weren't as "fine" as you thought. [guess who has GRUDGING CURRS about you now, ninja-boy?]

[pro_defunctis]

I was fine enough to walk back.

[It was all that had really mattered at that point.]

Don't mind him. He's a proud little boy.

[A look that's unimpressed if nothing else.]

Is this how Konoha's hokage spends her time?

[hawkishly]

A fact I'm too familiar with.
