[二] Audio / Action

[believeit]

[The recent events had certainly left a lot for people to think about. Naruto is no different, the past few days spent comparing fake memories with the real thing. Mostly he was hung up on how normal the fake life had seemed, a (fake) lifetime spent with a huge, loving family he had never had until arriving in this place.

Out of everything though, there is one question that plagues him the most. Here it comes...]

[Audio]

So even though that place was fake, and the things we remembered from it aren't really real, we're not still like.... legally married or anything, right? Right?

I don't think I'm even old enough to be married y'know!

[YUP. Guess who has been carefully avoiding Tenten ever since things went back to normal. Apparently he can act like a proper ninja when he wants to. He is finally manning-up to face reality though.]

[Actually he isn't, but he had something else he wanted to ask over the journals, so figured he would just throw that in too.]

...Has anyone seen Sakura-chan?


[Action]

[Since Luceti returned to normal, Naruto hasn't been that sociable. Most of his time has been spent at home aside from the occasional trip out into the woods to train or to check in on people close to him that were not fake wives or family members.

Today though, he can be found behind the counter of Shikamaru's convenience store. He has absolutely no idea what he is doing still and with Shikamaru and Masaomi both away, the fate of Luceti's #1 Store™ had been left to the combined efforts of Korra and Naruto.

If it is still standing by the end of the week, it shall be a miracle.]

Pretty much. I'd say it's more like an honor system than anything else. You've still got morals and values to consider, but nobody's enforcing them.

Try and steal, and you could still get in trouble, but there's technically no law saying you can't.

[Riku doesn't endorse stealing, but it's an easy enough example, given Luceti's lack of monetary system.]

[believeit]

..Why would people steal if they don't have to pay for anything anyway?

[He's thinking more of stealing from shops or something right now though.]

[stilldontgotit]

For the thrill of it? Maybe because they can. Sometimes people don't make much sense. That's just how the world works.

[He can't claim to know everyone's motivations, but sometimes bad habits die hard.]

[believeit]

Well then they're stupid. There's no point. [nod nod.]

[And then he remembers:]

You and Ino were..like... you know. I mean here, and there right?

[stilldontgotit]

Heh, yeah. That's one thing they kept consistent. The rest? Well, I'm sure not Masaomi's brother, and I'm pretty sure my last name isn't Kida.

[He chuckles. If he were actually Masaomi's brother, their past rough patches would be even more ironic in hindsight.]

[believeit]

That and Sakura-chan would've been your Sister in law.
