sixteen crows (朱) voice/action

[Itachi doesn't remember falling asleep on the rooftop, and yet here he is. He sits up and rubs at his eyes, noting immediately that he's only half dressed, his wings sore. He can tell just from the feel of it that its the rooftop of his apartment building and not any other. He can smell the garden close by

[Itachi. And he's back. So soon after that announcement that said he had left too. Luceti was really weird like that, but it was so soon. Did he go home and then come back after a certain amount of time?

Because last he checked, Itachi was supposed to be dead.] ... You're back. [Said more in a bit of disbelief than anything. Still a top-notch observation, though!]

[Voice]

[nextgen_hokage]

It was okay... at first. After awhile, there were weird monsters and dreams about our real lives and everything.

Pain in the neck.

[Voice]

[yourhatred]

Monsters and dreams...

Heaven forbid the experiment be allowed to end on a normal note.

[This is stated calmly without the slightest hint of either annoyance or amusement.]

[Voice]

[nextgen_hokage]

Yeah, it sucked. Least it's over.

[Voice]

[yourhatred]

It's fortunate that the changes are rarely permanent.

[Voice]

[nextgen_hokage]

Yeah. I dunno what I would've done if I couldn't remember things from back home, like Sasuke and what I gotta do.

[Voice]

[yourhatred]

Would you have done anything if you couldn't remember there was something that needed doing?

[Voice]

[nextgen_hokage]

... I guess not. [That just kind of... puts Naruto into an uneasy feeling. It's so simple for the Malnosso to mess with their memories here, isn't it?] Man, that's just not right.

[Voice]

[yourhatred]

Very little of what our captors do here is.

[Voice]

[nextgen_hokage]

You could say that again. [He doesn't know what else to say. Talking to Itachi is always a weird endeavor.]

[Voice]

[yourhatred]

[There's a pause.]

I suppose there's been no sign of my brother in my absence.

[Voice]

[nextgen_hokage]

[Naruto hesitates for a second. He should have expected that question, but it still managed to get him off-guard. It brings up the thought of what would he even do if Sasuke really were to return to Luceti again.]

... Nope. Haven't heard or seen anything.

[Voice]

[yourhatred]

I didn't really expect you had.

Unfortunate.

[Voice]

[nextgen_hokage]

I doubt he's gonna show up around here anytime soon. [Because it's Sasuke. So... there's that.]

[Voice]

[yourhatred]

You think not?

[Voice]

[nextgen_hokage]

He never shows up Luceti when someone kinda wants him too.
