[ The NV goes on to the sound of something crashing, capturing the world in a tumbling fall as it whirls before clattering onto the ground. From its vantage point, it catches a flash of running feet, and in the distance are a group of men struggling with a blonde woman many on the NV network would recognize as Kei. She's grabbed from behind when

[They've been land-locked in this place for four months now, nicked off one by one in the wall near Sasuke's front door in a series of six, slashed through with the seventh. Those weeks stack up fast but it still doesn't feel like it's been long enough for one to forget basic fucking training such as 'don't show off in front of civilians if you're under-cover.'

Well, that was fucking careless he wants to say, along with stupid unnecessary sentiments like are you alright even though he can plainly see that Kakashi is, was from the start, will be through much thicker messes than this.

Four months. Just four months. A small part of him - well, a big part actually - wants to rub that in Kakashi's face accompanied by a dark smirk. And he would have if not for his own entanglement with SERO recently, and how badly it'd backfire if he tried. Still.

In the end, he settles on being succinct. As amusing as this is, it's also dangerous and can topple the carefully built and incredibly false impression of an easy-going and fairly harmless

[ This comment is confusing -- Kakashi's not sure what Sasuke's referring to, because he hadn't broadcasted any video. But something must have triggered this comment -- and it only takes a bit of browsing on his NV for him to discover what the source was. To discover that he'd just blown his cover for the entire damn world to see after four months of building it up. Four months of acting like an unassuming, porn-loving pervert with nothing but a fetish for masks and ninja uniforms. No, Kakashi wasn't a threat. Wasn't even interesting. Was as boring as they come, and now here he is, contradicting all of that in one fell swoop.

Great.

This is just wonderful.

Kakashi vaguely wonders if there's some way to genjutsu the entire world to forget that they ever saw this.

He sighs, in response. ]

I didn't know this thing could turn on, on its own.

[No better way to destroy a good reputation than publicized violence against the natives. Even if it is in self-defense. Is that - why yes. A snicker escapes, quickly bitten back to little more than a staggering gasp of breath. But it is what it is.

'A couple of self-defense classes' he'd said. (There's a genjutsu powerful enough to do just that, but it involved the moon and Naruto, who's been missing for a good long while now, and Sasuke isn't that nice.)

Miles will lecture Kakashi's ears black and blue, and Sasuke will kick back and wait to see what sort of excuse Kakashi comes up with to smooth this one over. He's infamous for his wild, ridiculous excuses. Somehow 'my fists got lost on the road of life' probably won't cut it.]

... yeah. You're fucked.

[ At least Kakashi didn't kill the bastards that were about to brutalize one of Kakashi's employees right in front of him. Just because they're different. Dragged into this place by a force they didn't ask to be dragged in by.

(But different is a good enough reason for people like them to show up on the streets headless and dismembered, to be killed for that fact.)

Kakashi lifts up a slight shoulder in response. ]

Maa, I can always say I was a martial arts instructor.

So much for laying low, huh?

I can always say I'm a martial arts instructor.

[konohaspig]

Yeah, good luck with that. Nobody will believe that a martial arts instructor can move that quickly.

[ura_no_ura]

Not if I say I was a competitive fighter.

[ Said rather dryly. ]

They have that in this world, you know. Competitive fighting. They show it on television. It's like a sport.

My, my. What a mess. I suppose I'll have to help clean it up...

[ura_no_ura]

Yes, that would be very nice. I know it's your day off, but do you think you can come in?

[eyes_unopened]

[ breezily ] If you need me, then I must.

I'll be there in a little bit - I need to pick up my tobacco before the shop closes~

Ah, I appreciate it. We can definitely use the help.

Your help is much appreciated.

It was probably inevitable in the current climate.
