[Naruto's expression darkens. If only these Elites weren't so quick.]

I know that. I'm not gonna let her kill anyone either. [Yeah. He's gonna try to stop as much killing as possible on both sides. That's what he's turned into.]

[sasukelogic.livejournal.com]

[He is quiet for a stretching moment. There was a time when stopping killings was going to be his purpose too, when he had aimed to protest Itachi's actions in a quite different way from what he had since become. Naruto's presence reminds him of it further, and Sasuke retreats inwards, shuts himself off in a kind of self defense.

When he finally answers, his voice is vaguely questioning, but otherwise very flat and emotionless.]

So you're playing god now? Hokage isn't enough anymore?

[Typical of Sasuke. Naruto shakes his head.]

I don't even think I can be Hokage if I can't stop you from doing terrible things. [...] No, I'm not tryin' to be god. I'm just trying to do what's right.

[To abandon the cycle of hatred. A fool's errand in anyone else's eyes, probably. Especially someone like Sasuke, right?]

[sasukelogic.livejournal.com]

[Even though he is still pretty distant, his eyes darken at that, his eyebrows knit. Are you talking about what he thinks you're talking about? Are you bringing up his revenge?]

Terrible...?

[Sasuke has viewed his hatred as a strength and an asset ever since Itachi taught him to, almost a decade ago. He has used it as a kind of bravery, and it has helped him to get shit done so far. But right now it also serves as an anti depressant almost. It makes him stop thinking (which is rather nice when all your thoughts are bad ones), it gives him a purpose. Being full of hate might still be miserable, but at least it's better than a sobbing pile of trauma. So yes, one could definitely say he would view it that way.]

[Naruto hears which part of that Sasuke seems questioning about. It's that whole revenge deal.

They've been through this. Naruto turns his back to leave. He has to find that Elite before something happens, and maybe give some of the others a hand. Surely one of the others from Konoha could use a little help, especially Naruto was supposed to be doing defensive stuff.]

Don't worry about it, I'll handle it! [Yup. He's that confident.]

[sasukelogic.livejournal.com]

[Oh, how you piss him off, Naruto. It's quite remarkable, actually, seeing how completely unaffected he normally is. If one sees it positively, it could be a good thing! I think.

Either way, he won't try to stop you. Just watch it so you don't burn yourself on your way out, Naruto.]

[He gets a running start for a moment, then starts jumping off in whatever direction he senses someone needing assistance. Sage Mode is a charm like that. Too bad Sasuke didn't get to see his chakra mode, but it's probably for the best right now.

And if only he could put out those fires first. ;_;]

[Sucks to only have fuuton sometimes, doesn't it. :|a]
