#today just in: 8 yo child calls out local government for their lack of democracy

incorrect quotes @vipaeris said: ❛ i was born for politics. i have great hair and i love lying. ❜

ㅤWhereas he's not necessarily a grouchy person, there aren't many who can boast of being able to make Itachi laugh from the heart - it takes the right amount of ingenuity and culture, not to mention he tends to go completely flat-faced when presented with most mainstream jokes that most people find funny. Orochimaru, however? The Sannin certainly possesses such talent and hence the sound that leaves the child just as he was about to sip his tea, heartfelt and genuine and gentle laughter.

«I truly worry, when those are the standards.»

ㅤWhich... is not a lie. Itachi often finds himself mulling over details [small and big alike] that he believes the Council isn't addressing correctly, or matters that could be solved more proficiently. Only to be inevitably reminded of his very young age, and why would anybody ever listen to a weird kid anyway.

ㅤ«Politicians shouldn't have to resort to lying, period. Although I can accept it is necessary at times, when it comes to negotiating favorable terms. When it comes to the people, however? They should never be lied to nor be offered promises that cannot be upheld. In fact - I personally believe the people should be the ones choosing their representatives, rather than to allow said representatives full power to decide who succeeds them.»

ㅤEven Fugaku sometimes furrows his brows at such an opinionated son, though, in this case, it comes from a place of genuine concern and care; life tends to not be kind on Uchihas who become too outspoken. Nothing to ever deter Itachi, of course. He's cunning enough to have learned when to speak straight up and when to keep matters to himself and, instead, act from the shadows. Finally sipping the tea, he then offers his mentor an amused smile.

«It must be emphasized, regardless, that sensei does have the most enchanting hair in Konoha.»
