"Bah. And how do you propose to change the world?"

"By following the example of the Uchiha and her friends. I will show that there is a better way to live than endless, pointless conflict that does nothing but destroy."

"The Uchiha? Hah! That clan is all the same. Traitors and murderers."

"Not this one."

"You are a fool, then."

"Were you asleep the entire time I spoke with her?"

"Uchiha always have grand plans and ideals," he says, scoffing. "The grander their ideals, the worse it is when they turn their back on the world. They have created such wonderful destruction through the ages. That Madara was only one of many, and the Uchiha girl's eyes had his same energy."

"Would you prefer then to watch that happen?"

"You think I care what happens to you humans, beyond that you cease to annoy my esteemed self?"

"If you didn't, you'd spend more time asleep."

"I enjoy seeing you lot suffer and die, I admit."

"Is that all?"

"Is what all?"

"Seeing humans suffer and die. Is that all you care about in regards to them?"

He goes quiet for a few moments, seeming thoughtful. Then: "It's none of your business."

"So no, then."

"Pah. What do you care?"

"If I'm going to follow the Uchiha's example, I need you to stop fucking around with me. I'm looking for avenues by which I can convince you to do that."

"What, and spend the rest of my time locked away in silence?"

"Or you could help constructively."

"Drown you in blood, or have my esteemed self play sycophant to a bunch of meat-sacks... You're not making a good argument for your side." He sounds like he might be considering entertaining the proposition, though. For a time at least.

"Who said anything about being a sycophant? There will always be people who need killing. I just want it to not be everyone, unconditionally, for a while."

He considers this. "You have been boring, lately. Seek out new opponents to kill, and I will consider cooperating. Until you inevitably bore my esteemed self again, that is."

"I'll see what I can do about that."

"Hmph. This conversation is starting to bore me."
