⠀ nessie. maybe I should switch her to shippuden sakura

" It's nothing new, you know. " She crossed her arms and raised a brow. " What do you think will happen when one of Konohakagure's ninja just suddenly disappears? Hm? "

gasp—! nom.

I'm back with the mcnuggets.

" Didn't you literally betray us and work with Orochimaru? “

" And why should I trust you, exactly? " Crossing her arms, leaning onto the table.

damn. that's rough.

dude what the fuck happened.

sigh. . . sasuke 💞

and how exactly am I supposed to trust you? you don't exactly have a good track record with family.

that's right. what exactly do you want with him?

wh—? you're his brother?! ( backing up a bit. ) I'm his. . . teammate. and friend.

Huh. . ? Why's that guy kinda look like. . . Sasuke?

" I really don't get it. "

" Know what? "

" Wh—! Kabuto, what are you—? " Jumping, quickly turning around. What in the world was HE doing here?

" You know? "

mood.

Studying up on medical jutsu. Practicing on a dummy.

nah not at all.

mhm.

and toonami.

don't worry about it.

why does it feel. . . weird.

NO HE'S MINE

oh yeah, totally! good for sniping 'em! maybe we won't even have to go hand to hand of we get the drop on our opponents!

( shaking her head. )

sigh. . . what would you do without me?

working hard as always. what's the new breakthrough?

Name one?

Buuuut, also knowing you, you'll probably just run in without a plan and get your butt kicked.

sooo. . . what'cha up to?

Ehh, if anyone can do it, it's probably you. Someday. ( a light punch to the shoulder. )

I guess I will have to see it. Seems pretty interesting honestly. Guy's gotta be a master ninja if he's as strong as you say too.

huh? he uses a sword that's a key? you always find the weirdest people!

I guess you're right. . . 💧

always thinking with your stomachs.

Weird. Lady Tsunade didn't say anything about it. Who is he?

what, it's not like we don't do it every time.

well, what's our mission today anyway?

huh—? you got a new sensei? what happened to your old one?

huh—? what happened?

( she's just all giggly now. ) how could I?

YOU'RE LATE KAKASHI–SENSEI

nothin'.

hehe. . . thanks! ( giggling. )

NARUTO—! ( catching. then dropping. ) Wait.

SASUKEEEEEE—!

it's. . . too quiet. WHERE ARE THOSE TWO—?! 💢
