... Why did you really come to Konoha, if it wasn't to take Naruto? He told me that it happened and... That was when I saw you again.
[He knows it's going to be hard to talk to Itachi about this, but at last he feels like he's ready for more. Now that he's not overwhelmed with the information flooding onto him and now that he's had some time away to sort it out for himself, it feels like he needs more to complete the puzzle of that night. And it seems like Itachi's willing to give him the pieces if he asks the right questions.]
[So Sasuke knows about that, as well. It's not really a surprise.]
With the Sandaime dead, I made sure Danzo and the others were aware that I still lived and was still a threat to them. I didn't trust them with your safety.
If you need help training to get stronger, I could loan you one of mine. Physically there's a general cap for how strong they can get, though they can always get more skilled.
[What does that mean? He doesn't know. But he has a feeling that it has to do with whatever coming after Naruto did. Either way, he doesn't say anything further on it.]
Be careful. I don't want to know what they'll do if they find out you're not really one of them.

Maybe it's time to change the subject, though he feels a little awkward in doing so.]
You're adjusting well here, Niisan?

Don't worry about it. I'm not traveling on my own.

Date: 2013-05-09 08:52 pm (UTC)[But clearly Sasuke needs confirmation that he's not really a Rocket.]
They won't find out.
[Sasuke, if he can lie to you for years then he can lie to a bunch of strangers.]

If you need help, call me. There's still a lot I want to find out from you - I won't let anything happen to you until then.
