Hey book--or I guess people listening to the book?

... It's kinda weird talkin' to a book like this.

ANYWAYS, ahahah, I was just wonderin' when this prank is gonna be over? The whole thing about there not bein' any ramen stands around? I guess I could kinda see how that would be funny for like... five minutes, but it's really turned into somethin' cruel! So somebody just tell me where the damn ramen is, y'know?

PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE? I haven't ate in days...!

[And the option for action for the Charming Murderess or anybody walking along the docks really. There's a blond ninja in tattered clothing crawling on the pier looking pitiful.]

They have given me not given me a reason to distrust them.

i kinda meant more like they could slip some itching powder or stuff that makes you go to the bathroom in it as a prank, but i guess it could be dangerous stuff too

[deathsought]

They aren't the type to do that. Besides, they would be eating it as well.

text >> voice

[obstinates]

I guess you're right.

Also, my hand hurts from writing all this, so I'm just gonna talk if that's okay.

Don't you ever talk?

[deathsought]

The degree of anonymity I gain from choosing to write suits me.

[obstinates]

Do you have like a super recognizable voice or something?

[deathsought]

Perhaps, to people from my world.

[ lol akira ishida ]

[obstinates]

[ HAHAH]

I'm not from your world though, but I guess I get what you mean. Shinobi are supposed to be stealthy and stuff too.

[deathsought]

Whatever a 'shinobi' is, I am not one of them.

[obstinates]

Are you like some sort of demon hunter then? I haven't seen any, by the way. Just lettin' you know.

[deathsought]

[ A long pause, before he begins writing again. ]

Not exactly.

[obstinates]

You just like hanging out with demons or somethin'?

[deathsought]

That is somewhat closer to the truth. If you truly must know, I summoned them.

[obstinates]

Whoa, really? With a summoning contract and everything?

[deathsought]

Something like that. They are alive because of me.

[obstinates]

What? How does that work?

Wait... are you a demon dad or somethin'? Did you make baby demons?

[deathsought]

[ A long pause. ]

Not exactly. It was done through magic.

[obstinates]

[Ah. Okay, that kinda makes sense. Maybe. Naruto doesn't understand magic. He just figured that the whole "they're alive because of me" meant this guy was their dad.]

I guess I kinda get you even if I don't get magic.

[deathsought]

[ According to Chapter 372, they (or at least, Kyouka) sees him as a sort of father figure. So, close enough. ]

You would be one of the few, then. In my own world, people fear me. And rightly so. It is why I chose to live alone.

[obstinates]

[Close enough.]

Maybe they just don't know you well enough. People used to be scared of me too, y'know. Now I have all sorts of friends.

[deathsought]

Those who seek to know me usually don't live long, for one reason or another.

[obstinates]

So just work harder to protect them.

[deathsought]

The only way I could was by living alone, in isolation. My magic cannot be controlled all of the time.

[obstinates]

[There's a little pause here because Naruto knows as good as anyone what isolation and loneliness does to a person, the dark places it takes your mind.]

That's a crappy way to live, but if you want a friend, I promise I won't die.
