Sasuke summons demon Cam
Permalink

Orochimaru is making Sasuke do his dirty work again. At least this time it only involves painstakingly drawing out a seal large enough to fit a person on a smoothed surface prepared specifically for this, rather than any wet-work. Sealing is dangerous if he puts a single stroke wrong, of course, but it's unlikely to lead to him being disciplined by his 'teacher.' Intentionally sabotaging it to spare Orochimaru's next victim wouldn't work here, after all.

He finishes the last stroke on the inner circle, sharingan active to make sure it's precise enough.

"Congratulations!"

"Thanks! I'm glad it worked out..." The golden glow around him recedes.

"I mean, don't count your chickens, but his original captor's handy if he decides to stir up shit."

Permalink

"I think he's more likely to not stir up shit if we don't threaten him with resealing?"

Permalink

"I wouldn't say I was threatening him, I'm just making the observation."

Permalink

"I think he'd take it as a threat; he's kind of extremely pro-freedom."

Permalink

"I didn't even say it to him, so unless you're mistaken about him reading your mind all the time..."

Permalink

"I don't think he's reading my mind - I can hear him talking now, he's mostly laughing and shouting about freedom. I just think maybe don't bring it up to him if he's getting grouchy?"

Permalink

"I will avoid it."

Permalink

"Thanks! Do you think he'll be okay if we bring him back to Earth? There's no one around the base in Snow, he could hang out there..."

Permalink

"Well, he won't fit in this shuttle, though that's not prohibitive since I can make a bigger one... I'm not sure Snow would like it."

Permalink

He concentrates for a bit.

"Kurama says his size isn't constant."

Permalink

"Then if he's willing to hold it down to moose-size for a few hours we could in principle fit him in the shuttle we have; the other thing's less tractable."

Permalink

"Yeah. We'd have to talk to the Queen, though I don't think having a Tailed Beast around is considered much more dangerous than a jinchuuriki?"

Permalink

"I suppose there's a point to be had there. We can send emails from here, there's a delay but not a prohibitive one."

Permalink

"Okay! I don't mind hanging out here until we get a reply."

So Cam emails Mariko asking if it would be okay to bring their recently unsealed so far not very hostile tailed beast down planetside so he can run around avoiding people.

There is a pretty long delay before he gets a:

Sure, though we'll revoke that if there's any conflicts he causes.

Understandable.
Cam relays this to Naruto.

"I think I can explain that decently to Kurama. He does have any concept of territory."

A pause, and: "Yeah, he's willing to go back with us and not start anything with Snow people, but he can just fold back into me and then fold out again, we don't need to put him in the shuttle."

Permalink

"...well, that's the sort of thing it might have been good to know before letting him loose."

Permalink

"I dunno if he actually knew it, though we probably could've guessed from the 'he'll still be co-located with all my clones' thing."

Permalink

"I mean, I was assuming 'ability to issue forth' and 'ability to run background processes' might be different."

Permalink

"Yeah, I got caught by that too. Still, though, I don't think it's a huge strike against him?"

Permalink

"Not a huge one."
