[Kakashi-sensei, why aren't you saying anything?]

So he's doing all that, because she died? I don't get it. It wasn't Konoha's fault, right? Why'd he attack?

[ura_no_ura]

Because he can't live in a world without her... and because he hates the system that caused her death and wants to change it. In his mind, what he's doing is the best possible thing for all of us, because he thinks he can create a perfect world where everyone will be happy and where Rin will still be alive. He's...

[ Kakashi pauses for a moment, trying to find the right word. ]

...broken. And I'm responsible for it.

[believeit]

How can he say it's the best thing? Of course it ain't! [Kakashi you don't believe it, right? There are things Naruto would love to change about the world, to bring people back, but he wouldn't want to replace reality with it.]

That world's just perfect for him, not any of us! And I still say it's not your fault.

[ura_no_ura]

[ Of course you'd say that, Naruto, but you don't really understand. Kakashi sighs. Maybe this was a bad idea, talking to Naruto about this. ]

You have to understand, Naruto... War is something that can send people into dark and terrible places. It can break people. Change them. Obito grew up in a time of war. And I suppose he put all of his faith into his love for Rin. So when she died... all the hope he had, everything he believed in, must have died with her.

What he's doing now... is an act of desperation. He does it, because he's lost all hope in this world, and thinks there's nothing here left to live for or believe in, so he wants to make a new reality. It certainly isn't a good thing, or the best thing for anyone at all, but Obito believes it's the best thing for us all, and in his mind, he's saving the world from itself because all he can see is hopelessness.

[believeit]

[Naruto deflates a little as he listens further. Part of him understands what Kakashi is saying and he can even see why Obito may think that. But it doesn't make it right.]

I'm not gonna let him hurt any more of my friends. [Any more. Neji was already dead.]

You were fighting him, right? I saw you and him go off somewhere..

[ura_no_ura]

[ Of course Naruto wouldn't want Obito to hurt anyone else. Kakashi wouldn't want him to either, but. We don't always get the things we want, do we.

He nods, in response to everything, really. ]

He pulled me into another dimension.

[believeit]

Did anything happen there? Or was that when you showed up here? 'Cause when I came? It was right after that.

[ura_no_ura]

Well, we fought.

[ ......and yeah, that's all Kakashi says. ]

[believeit]

You still fighting?

[ura_no_ura]

[ Kakashi's eye slides shut at the question. ]

Mm, probably. I woke up here before I knew how it ended.

[ That much is true, anyway... ]

[believeit]

[A frown. It's frustrating, not knowing what is happening to any of them. But if he doesn't know, then he doesn't know.]

Yeah.. none of us know. Everyone else is behind us, this time stuff is weird.

[ura_no_ura]

I'm sure you're doing just fine, though.

[ Kakashi says after a moment, eye sliding over to Naruto. ]

[believeit]

I'm sure we both are. [Right, Sensei?]

[ura_no_ura]

[ Kakashi makes a non-committal hum at that, which could be interpreted as a yes. ]

[believeit]

[He's going to assume it means a yes.]

Right. We'll win, I know it.

[ura_no_ura]

[ Kakashi nods, eye softening slightly as he raises a hand and gives Naruto's shoulder a squeeze. ]

That's right. We'll win.

[ He has to believe that. ]

Anyway, you should go back to bed, hmm? It's pretty late.

[believeit]

Oh, yeah, I'll just.. [Go re-fill the glass, to take back upstairs. There we go.]

You gonna go back to sleep?

omg i never got this notification wtf

[ura_no_ura]

In a bit.

[ Actually, most definitely not. Kakashi's going to read maybe, or take a walk, or something. But sleeping is certainly not something he's going to do. ]

<333

[believeit]

Okay.

[Glass in hand, Naruto shuffles his feet across the floor, towards the open door.]

If something's up, you'll tell us though, right?

[Probably not him, he figures, but Dad maybe.]
