How grim; and yet I relish the insidious reality of their situation. Yugito seems to be consumed from within and without- from the demon, that kismet has flung upon her like a noose, and both from the land she treads with the overarching inevitability of her death march, creeping by one step at a time, and from her companions (jailors/ escorts...).

I'm not so sure anymore if they really mean to kill her or if she has become a permanent part of the team. I know this doesn't make any sense since their primary goal was to extract the Nibi, but the story is hopelessly AU anyways, so I guess I can take some liberties. The thing is probably that her situation seems that much more existential to me if she actually has to live. It somehow underlines how she is cornered by both a mental (the demon) and a worldly (Kakuzu) leader. Or maybe it is just that I'd rather write about the inevitabilities of life rather than those of death.
The description of the landscape is quite random by the way. I moved and this is pretty much how the place looks like.

Well~ I find all sorts of alternative interpretations that make it plausible to keep Yugito alive... like the fact that Kushina was able to survive having her bijuu removed, or that a different type of exorcism is possible, or that just by having the jinchuuriki on Pein's side gives them enough leverage to enact policies of "peace".

Existential indeed; it would present innumerable struggles to wrap oneself around and swallow down.

Ugh, that place sounds so...uninviting. I can't imagine that a mindset other than dreary could be easy to manage in those environs.

When I first read the comment I misread 'permanent' as 'pregnant' and did a HUGE double-take

Using her as a leverage seems exactly like what they would do. And by the way if they want the Two-Tails they can always extract it later. (Now that would be a frightening situation: running around with some guys that might or might not kill you one day...)
In reality the place I live is quite alright, really. It is only that everything actually does look the same wherever you go.
