Sure. (He actually knows how to do this, too, and can write up more of a direct how-to while he procrastinates on visiting Naruto. Usually mindscapes are buildings, but can be something more natural, and usually their base is chosen somewhat subconsciously. Getting into them isn't just meditation - there's a chakra trick he describes, which functions kind of like a self-directed illusion.)

Clones get to work on figuring that out.

And Sasuke makes arrangements to go talk to Naruto.

Which ends up with him hovering somewhat awkwardly in Naruto's doorway.

Permalink

Naruto gets up, rushes to the door, but stops short of actually touching Sasuke. (He has a clone distracting Jiraiya with questions about the Nine Tails.)

"Sasuke," he says, somewhat lamely. 

Permalink

"Hey." He makes an aborted motion like he's about to ask to come in.

Permalink

Naruto steps back. "Come in. You can sit, the living room's pretty nice - "

Permalink

Sasuke goes and leans against the wall by the window. 

Permalink

"So. How've you been?"

Permalink

Shrug. "Getting stuff done."

Permalink

"You're away from Orochimaru. That's good, right?"

Permalink

"Ah. Yeah." He could've handled another year of that, but having more options for actually accomplishing goals is nice.

Permalink

Awkward pause.

Abruptly: "I'm going to fix the Leaf, and the entire shinobi system. Because it's broken. And so you don't have to, and so it's okay for you to come back or not come back or - whatever."

Permalink

"Thanks."

"...I'm sorry about trying to kill you that one time."

Permalink

"It's okay. Really."

"I'm sorry about threatening to break all your bones and drag you back. I was angry but that was over some kind of line, and I was traveling with Jiraiya and met some missing-nin and it's kind of actually really shitty that shinobi can't just move? Or stop being shinobi? So I'm going to fix that too."

Permalink

Really awkward shrug.

"I don't actually remember everything that happened around me leaving. So. It's fine. Probably would've gotten over it anyways."

Permalink

"You don't need to just get over stuff, you know. Sometimes stuff just shouldn't happen."

Permalink

He looks away.

Permalink

"...Can I give you a hug."

Permalink

"I guess."

Permalink

Clingy best friend time! For just long enough that he stops before Sasuke starts looking uncomfortable.

"Come on, lemme tell you about how I've been. Haven't heard much about the Leaf, but..."

Permalink

Sasuke settles in to listen. (The main response he expresses is could Naruto seriously not find a less shitty teacher than Jiraiya. They get into a small scuffle over that.)

A few hours later, he heads back to his apartment, and emails Cam:

I'd like to get set up for dealing with Itachi soon. It's already been long enough news of the undead's probably leaked.

What do you need from me?
Permalink

The others are insisting I use a video feed and not go in person. So, something to make that work. We'll send Tobirama with the other end of it. He's fought Uchiha before.

Permalink
Cool, I'll make sure the satellites are up where they need to be.

Let me know when.
