yes grab that yardstick

[liquidate]

I don't have a counter against that weakness. [ Suigetsu snaps, cleaning the edge of the sword dutifully, kindly on the edge of his shirt.

It irritates him to no end that Sasuke far exceeds him in technique. ] And I'm not suffering. I suffered for little more than three years, Sasuke, I'm through with it -- I'm improving at the rate I should have been; I lost all that time, do you know what I'll be capable of in three more years?

[ The prospect made him giddy, but that long road was only just beginning again. Stuck here, he was still frozen in that tank, it felt like the bottom all over again. ]

So don't go dying on me until I crush your face into the dirt.

A YARDSTICK, wow I AM impressed

[eyeforaneye]

[ Suigetsu's observation isn't one that's escaped Sasuke. He knows that he himself had extra time and training that he could hold over Suigetsu's head and he wants to see just how much his partner stands to grow now that he's free again. ]

Hn. I'm not making any promises. I don't owe you anything, not beyond helping you realize your dream, which I won't rescind.

Get stronger faster, if you want to be sure.

told you

[liquidate]

I don't need to hear that from you. [ Suigetsu scoffs, holding the chokuto's blade end, offering it back up to Sasuke.

He wouldn't get stronger with someone else's blade, he was too proud, too stubborn to do that; getting used to it and beginning to love it wouldn't be favourable either, he knew he was a nostalgic person when it came to pointy possessions. ]

You're worried about this operation, but you won't say that. I don't know why, you don't have to hide everything.

my my

[eyeforaneye]

[ He extends his hand, taking that blade back and indulging himself in one short practice swing as well. Indeed it's an impressive blade, perfectly suited to him. Figures. Orochimaru had known his strengths pretty well. ]

Worried? ... You assume I fear death more than I do. If you go into a fight thinking about something like that then you won't be as effective.

Perhaps it isn't something you have to consider.

u can c it l8r bb

[liquidate]

It's not a fight you're going into, Sasuke. It's an operation. You can't do anything but wait in a situation like this.

And I'm not invincible -- I consider it, I'm just a bit sturdier than other people. Don't play naive with me.

I can canonically say, seen it before, bb

[eyeforaneye]

It sounds like you want me to be afraid, saying it like that.

You're right, sitting still and waiting something out isn't my specialty. It'll be good practice for something else I might need to go through later... and I can't die here, for good; there's not much cause for concern in that.

; ) YEAAAAAAAH U HAVEEEEEEEEE U DOGGG

[liquidate]

I don't want you to be afraid, but a cautionary mindset is good to have -- you're so reckless!

And don't sit there and talk to me about practicing for kicking the bucket, asshole!!!

wonk

[eyeforaneye]

Fear is only going to hold me back. It immobilizes people in the face of what they need to accomplish.

I'm not practicing for death. Merely an operation.

covers face at icon

[liquidate]

You keep telling yourself that. You've been mentally preparing yourself for death since before I met you.

NO I love it

[eyeforaneye]

You're always so confident when you talk about me.

Whether or not I'm prepared, I'm not stupid enough to chase it down.

cries

[liquidate]

Yeah, because I'm right. You're not as unreadable as people think. There's a lot of emotion in impassivity.

wow our two icons up there are like horizontal flips of each other

[eyeforaneye]

Whether there is or not, you shouldn't involve yourself too much. [ A broken record. ]

Don't try to make my life longer than it needs to be.

WOW THEY ARE

[liquidate]

Than it needs to be? Than it needs to be? Listen to yourself once in a while, Sasuke. It makes me sick.

[eyeforaneye]

You brought it up, apparently knowing my views on the matter. I won't apologize.

[liquidate]

You've made it obvious what you think of death -- I don't want you to apologize, but I think you should give your priorities a once-over.

[eyeforaneye]

In the same way that you might for yours?

Your goal will change for nothing. Mine is the same way. After that my most important attachments are finished. [ Finally he sheathes Kusanagi, all too calm. ]

[liquidate]

I'm not talking about me. I'm saying you might not have to die. Plan for both, not just one.

[eyeforaneye]

It's merely going to the next world. That's something that I want.

[liquidate]

Not so soon, we're still teenagers, Sasuke, don't you wanna hit your prime? You haven't reached it yet.

[eyeforaneye]

Perhaps I should, for the sake of my family's reputation.

[liquidate]

The Uchiha are renowned -- your goal wasn't just to avenge them, it was to rebuild the clan too.

So don't forget about your first goal just by packing a whole bunch of other ones on top.

[eyeforaneye]

Ah.

To rebuild my clan in a literal sense would be to create another person like me. They'd carry that burden alone. I wonder if it's the right thing to do.

[liquidate]

So you'll die and the Uchiha name will die out with you. Sounds pleasant.

[eyeforaneye]

What do you expect me to do?

[liquidate]

Live, maybe?
