( alas, neither of them were able to prevent sasuke from going down a vengeful path — no thanks to the man he is speaking to now. )

he was

what do you suppose will happen once we've succeeded in our mission here?

[blackfire]

That is difficult to say.

I have been in this place for eight months, and I am still not convinced they will act as suggested.

If we are able to change the fate of events within our village, it is likely we have no recollection of such a thing, leaving it impossible to know whether or not we have affected its trajectory at all.

[shumi]

( he is inclined to agree with him.

trouble seems to follow closely behind the orbs from what he has seen, so even if they are capable of altering the course of history, they have no more than faith to rely on that the orbs wouldn't result in further, possibly even worse, calamities.

this isn't the right medium to voice his opinions though. )

if given the choice, would you want to remember?

[blackfire]

（ ultimately, it does not matter if kakashi means his time aboard the ximilia specifically, or the vector of his life before it. his answer is unchanged regardless. ）

Yes.

[shumi]

i would as well

you don't suppose we could simply ask to retain our memories when the time comes

( the orbs do seem to have the means to communicate, but he guess it will depend on the method in which degar will utilize them. hm. )

Such things would likely engender an additional cost from the orbs.

（ would he pay it, if it meant losing the sharingan, or worse? he is loathe to diminish his own usefulness in battle, but... he would still do it. ）

[shumi]

i expect nothing less

( but what is one more sacrifice when they are already risking their lives to accomplish their objectives. )

[blackfire]

Indeed.

（ a pause. then: ）

What is your opinion on Uzumaki Naruto?

[shumi]

( does he want him to write him an essay? because he could write him a novel.

but he will spare him the sentimentality. )

he will be able to bring about incredible change

i believe in him

[blackfire]

That seems to be a common sentiment among those who have met him.

（ is he or is he not including himself among that number? he has, after all, encountered the boy a handful of times himself. ）

[shumi]

he does leave a lasting impression

[blackfire]

You must truly care about them.

[shumi]

i do

( more than anyone needs to know. )

[blackfire]

（ and there is nothing to say to that, really, so he just

doesn't respond.

#bonding. ）
