Third Gate [Voice/Action]

[Voice]

[News traveled through the building that morning faster than than bright green elevator. Naruto's room was empty. Lee, passionate with tears, was quick to volunteer to report this, not exactingly leaving room for comrades to chime in. Some of them could be near him in the hallway as he shouts into the journal - and of other other CH1 residents could be attracted by his loudness.]

Some of you may be aware of the existence of Uzumaki Naruto, a fellow ninja of Konoha. He is one of the bravest people I know, a true hero and someone who I one day wish to engage in an all-out fight. But he... Naruto-kun has gone back home. The battle awaiting him there is one of the most arduous endeavors imaginable, so... please wish him your best.

I shall shortly depart to the Seventh Heaven and eat as much ramen as I can in honor of my dear, departed comrade. May the strength of this food reach him somehow and empower him with even more youthly guts!

[Action]

[So there he goes off to start his day gorging on ramen at Seventh Heaven, taking a large table with an opening for many friends. And he spends the rest of the day afterwards working it off. About two hours in the Battle Dome and various training exercises throughout the evening and night as he also patrols around in search of danger. Feel free to run into him at any of these points.]

[ Sasuke considers letting this one slide and just laughing maniacally somewhere in his crappy place but he figures he'll say something. ]

Good to know.

[niceguypose]

[Outside of Gagtagland, Lee takes a moment to take in Sasuke's words before responding with silent indignation.]

Is that all you have to say?

[avenger]

[ That got Lee riled up? And here Sasuke thought he was being nice about the whole thing. He hasn't even said anything that can be considered a taunt! ]

You want me to say more?

[niceguypose]

[Evil McCrazypants dropping in to say that so casually just rubbed him the wrong way, especially with the war Naruto was returning to.]

I do not know. I only know that Naruto-kun would have said much more of you, and meant it. As much as I believe in Naruto-kun, I cannot shake this feeling that his faith may be somewhat... unfounded.

[avenger]

[ Of course he would have. ... Come to think of it, he's never seen what Naruto said about him leaving. If anything at all. ]

Maybe. You can check for yourself, whatever he's said about me leaving exists somewhere on the journals. [ ... ]

As for his faith, you'll have to take that up with him when he comes back. I don't plan on talking about his misconceptions.

[niceguypose]

That is right. You have come and gone in the past have you not?

Of course. It would be foolish of me to assume you could ever provide any sort of explanations. It must content you to hide away from us all.

[avenger]

I have.

Why would I explain anything Naruto does? What he does or thinks isn't any of my business. [ About hiding... That annoys him, though he can't say he isn't secluding himself. ]
