something sinister threatens his tone , but he stays it with the will of change's desire . he's silent for a moment as he assesses the situation , placing many familiarities upon the boy , & their correlations with his beloathed & cherished rival . this path before him is treacherous , but he would walk it nonetheless . if he's anyone used to struggle , he's sure he's got a handle on it . he'd earn his worth , he'd make things right . . . but before all that , he'd commit to a road of making amends .

still , he wouldn't suspect it'd be interrupted before it even began by one so unfamiliar . he stops in his tracks , & takes the question quite literally when he responds in seriousness , ❛ i was just leaving . ❜

he'd had a dream he'd begun his journey already , & awoken back in konoha . the timelines have an interesting way of tying , & he hasn't quite figured it out yet .
