So many new arrivals. [A quiet sigh.] Kushina-san, Yondaime-sama... I see you have both arrived here as well. My apologies for not having welcomed either of you before now.
[A pause, time enough to consider the possibility of Mikoto and Fugaku arriving. He doesn't like the odds to say the least. He doesn't... want to see them.]
I hope the pair of you are able to adjust.
[There is a short series of clicks, and then the public communication is cut, the feed switching instead to private settings.]

I feel as though you and I should talk sometime soon, when you have the time. In private.
There are things that you have a right to know... if you haven't been told already. Things about the Uchiha.

Keep an eye on Elena-san today. I'm afraid I will not be around to do so myself.
There is... something that I need to take care of. I will contact you as soon as I return.

[LOCKED to DEIDARA]
I am leaving now. Meet me outside of the ruins.
Also, I feel that I should tell you, I intend to test just how far one can really go into the mist.
