"We're not anyone else. We're us."

"We're really very weird, and you seemed like the type of weird where you could join us!"

He squints, seeming a bit suspicious, then turns to Elieyha.

"There's - something feels familiar about you. Similar? I dunno... Your eyes look kind of like mine."

"Maybe we can be friends."

"I'm the jinchuuriki for the One Tail, Shukaku."

"What's a jinchuuriki?"

"It's what they call a person who has a Tailed Beast sealed inside them."

"A Tailed Beast?"

"You know, the nine great monsters? Made out of chakra, went around crushing people until the first Hokage sealed them all up when the villages were founded."

"I hadn't heard about any of that..."

"A lot of poeple don't like talking about it."

"People don't talk about a lot of stuff."

"They think if they ignore things they don't like, it'll go away."

"Adults are silly."

"Yep."

"Maybe we can teach them some sense while we're running around beating them at weirdness!"

"Sounds like a real challenge."

"We're a very skilled group!"

"We'll have to be, to mix weirdness and sense."

She giggles. "We can specialize!"

"You and Naruto to be weird, me and Sasuke to be sensible?"

"Seems a fair split."

"We'll keep your weirdness appropriately targeted."

She laughs. "Wouldn't do to be too weird at friends."

"You'd scare them off."

"Wouldn't want that."
