"Also my jinchuuriki stuff being unstable sometimes makes all my clones break all at once, and it makes training with lots of clones hard, and probably if he was at all friendly if he can break down drugs at different speeds he might be able to manufacture them in my blood stream? Though that might require altering my seal to let him do that. And he's not copied when my clones copy, he just stays the same amount of connected to all of them, so if he could talk to me when I'm not in my mindscape he could help me coordinate between clones without having to make and dismiss more."

"Ooh, that'd be a nice perk, I'm just sending myself a lot of computer messages."

"The First somehow managed to sync his wood clones so he just has that much more processing ability, but he can only make four or five of those. Using the Nine Tails as a relay would be like an indirect way of doing that?"

"At the cost of having him looped in on whatever you're processing..."

"I mean if he minds that'd be bad but it'd be nice on my end?"

"If you say so."

"I like the - feeling of understanding someone and being understood very deeply, as long as everyone's fine with it? I usually only get little bits of that..."

"If you're into it. Not my cup of tea and don't want to assume the other eight are into it."

"Yeah, definitely. It's - mostly just miserable all around, and the 'letting people have their own minds if they want' is part of what I want to fix."

"I would offer you a high five but I am not sure you have the custom."

He laughs. "I know the idea? Not sure it's like super common."

High five?

High five!

"I am glad the repellent circumstances of your upbringing did not make you horrible, you're a good kid."

He laughs. "Thanks I guess."

"You're welcome. I would have said it better but I'm not sure how."

"Maybe don't say that exactly to the other jinchuuriki? Just a 'you're good' or a 'I'm glad you turned out this well'? I'm guessing the others are generally aware this whole thing sucks? But I got what you meant."

"Oh, no, this isn't specifically about being a jinchuuriki. I could repeat the sentence exactly to Sasuke."

"He probably wouldn't appreciate it that much. But yeah, our whole world's broken."

"It's super bad and I wanna fix it!"

"You're a really good person too you know."

Wag wag. "Thank you, I agree if I do say so myself."

"Anything else before I start working on the Nine Tails stuff?" He's maybe bouncing a little.

"Here's your initial supply of Fovarine, and other than that nah go have fun!"

"Okay! Thanks. I'll probably work on the Nine Tails stuff first?"
