One Necessary Lie ✧ Video

[The video feature flicks on but it's completely black and is silent for a minute. Perhaps it was done on accident. But wait, no, that's not the case. There's a man's voice, unidentifiable except to those who know him. Either way, he sounds unamused.]

A world where you collect animals and let them do the fighting for you. Seems cruel. Or perhaps you just don't see it that way. Using creatures to collect ridiculous badges. What good will it do you when you leave this place? If you leave this world.

[Itachi pauses, silence fills the moment.]

How many of you still continue your own physical training as you level up your creatures? Would you be capable of taking down your enemy without the aide of your Pokemon? Would you be satisfied if you couldn't? [Yes, Sasuke. Those last two questions were specifically aimed towards you.]

It also appears that the dead walk among us. [Does he know about the other shinobi or simply referring to himself -- hard to tell. Some might not even recognize him by voice alone. So finally he shifts it around to reveal his face. Itachi doesn't have the hitae-ai sitting upon his forehead like usual and his surroundings are hard to pinpoint. The maroon cloak he's wearing doesn't help as it covers the rest of his clothes.]

[He sighs as if this is all a big bother or an annoyance.] I suppose it's only polite to introduce myself. My name is Uchiha Itachi.

I said I would. [Later he might fill Naruto in on the details of that considering it involves Sasuke but this is not the time with his brother chasing after him. Again.]

It seems he might know more then you believe. Or simply suspects.

[But it's good to know exactly when Sasuke's from.]

Yeah, he just told me the same. [He's running around some sort of house or inn, looking for Sasuke as he's been checking all the other messages.] It was Obito, I told him some stuff that maybe I shouldn't have, but we were talking about things to do with Uchihas and.. I dunno he didn't really believe it so I told him, as long as he didn't tell Sasuke, but he did anyway!

He's coming to you, by the way. I'm not gonna try to stop him, it would be pointless.

[Sighs.] You shouldn't have told Obito. He's terrible at keeping his mouth shut.

[No changing it now however.]

Yes, I'm aware. I told him where I was.

Yeah well I know that now. I'm not gonna be telling him anything important ever again! [A little over-dramatic, but still.]

Nothing to do about it now. I'll just have to tell him the truth, again. [Because they both know Sasuke won't let this go.]

It might be different this time. I mean, you're not dead here, and he hasn't killed you and- [Wait]

You're not still a zombie are you?!

[That gets a slight upward curve to his mouth.]

No, I'm not still a zombie.

So what happened when you broke the Edo-Tensai? Did you.. y'know? [Die again.]

[It doesn't take a genius to figure out what he's trying to say.]

Yes, Naruto. We all did.

The question you should be asking is what happened before that considering Sasuke spotted me on the way to face Kabuto.

What? He did?

[Okay yeah a new focus of attention.]

Why was he there? What happened?!

[Even though Itachi knows this information won't help back in their world, it might come in handy here.]

I don't know why he was there all I know is that he was. Sasuke helped defeat Kabuto and I showed him the truth. There was no time to hear what he would do next.

Bu you're saying that maybe there's a chance? [A chance for what exactly.. he doesn't know.] If he helped you with Kabuto, then-!

He's looking for answers. Perhaps those answers will lead him back to Konoha.

I hope it does.

Hm. [It's not an approving or disapproving sound.]

How goes the war on your end?

I was fighting that masked guy! He isn't Madara, y'know. 'Cause he was brought back too with the Edo Tensai, the real Madara I mean.

But it was going okay! I even got to talk to those other Jinjuurikis and the tailed beasts, and the Kyuubi's even helping me now!

[Not Madara. Then who? He was an Uchiha, that much Itachi knows.] That man has a lot of secrets. Do you know who he is?

[Once again Naruto manages to impress him. He's become even stronger since they last met.] You'll need his help against Madara and his accomplice.

I dunno who he is. Ended up here before I got to find out, and Shino's the only other one here who's even been in the war, so. [Yeah, they have no clue.]

Hehe, he even told me his name, too! It's Kurama. Weird, that after all those years it never even occurred to me to ask if he had an actual name..

[Then who? Itachi is going to spend time thinking about it while he waits for Sasuke to show up.] An Uchiha simply claiming to be Madara.

I doubt there are many who would attempt to be friends with the Kyuubi. [Meaning: Naruto is a special snowflake along with his buddy Killer B.]

Yeah, I guess. Though I thought there weren't any others.

[He looks confused, though it soon switches to a grin at the Kyuubi comment.] It's not just him, I talked to all of them! But uh.. I can't remember all of their names. [A sigh.] Should've written them down somewhere..

There aren't many who turned their back on the clan. Not that I know of. [But Itachi won't limit himself by thinking there were no others except Madara.]

All of them. [Naruto would make friends with all of them.] I'm sure their names will come back to you in time.

Hey, hey, you know what other name I did remember though! Wait- I gotta show you this..

[He's... taking a pokeball out, and releasing whatever is inside it. Soon enough, there's a red-eyed crow sat on his shoulder.]

Can you guess what I called it?

[He has a guess. Probably a very good guess.]

What?

Shisui. It's Shisui!

[He smiles slightly.]

You would name a crow that.
