hey everyone!
i'm Uzumaki Naruto
um in my world we give family name first
so you can just call me Naruto!

listen…
i have an important question that i'd like to hear your opinions on

some people doubt this place is really the afterlife
and if we’re actually dead

but let’s say there’s a chance we can all return to our own dimensions, alive
…would you want to?
or would you prefer to stay here instead, permanently?

it’s kinda personal, so i get it if you wanna use the
uh
anonymous
thingy
just don’t ask me how to switch it on
because idk (that means i don’t know)

oh also
if anyone needs help with anything
or wants to tackle some missions together
i'm your shinobi!

[Sorry, Sasuke and Sakura. Naruto forgot the “keep our profession/backgrounds a secret” rule. (And already broke the rule several times over.)]

cuz it's important to understand different perspectives
i've made mistakes in the past where i assumed i understood people
when i really couldn't understand their situation at all
i'm trying not to make that mistake again

OOPS un:fraldarius

You really think just by asking, people are going to tell you, someone they've just met? If they're signing their name to it, you can assume that's not the whole truth.

And if it's anonymous, how will you understand them? You won't even know them.

You just come off as irritatingly nosy.

[Naruto's defense squad pulling up in this post I'm sorry.]

It was your decision to respond to this. If you thought it was meaningless, then why bother at all? Conversation meant to gather different opinions isn't nosy.

Pick a fight somewhere else.

[Yes maybe Naruto was an idiot for sharing too much information as usual BUT THAT'S HIS IDIOT!!!]

[boarwitness]

[is this........ a white knight???]

Are you his friend or his enemy? Let him speak for himself.

Do you do this to everyone who criticizes him?

[chokuto]

[The only one who can criticize Naruto is me.... or something.]

He'll speak for himself. I'm not stopping him. But you were wrong. [And he had to say something, it's a compulsion.] I don't know how you'd get 'enemy' out of what I said. Your reading comprehension is poor, too.

[boarwitness]

[the behavior of a real fanboy..]

Because making a friend look so pathetic by jumping to their defense at the slightest comment certainly seems like something an enemy would do.

Are you just spitting whatever insults come to your head? Try to dignify yourself a little. I'm not wrong. I have to assume you just don't like not being right.

[chokuto]

Then our definitions are different. That you see him as pathetic for this says more about you than him or even me. The only enemies I'd consider worth naming are those who threaten my life; you must have more petty disputes.

Information is still information. He asked whether the Restless here would choose to leave this dimension or remain. Is that nosy? No one is forced to respond. Is it useless? No, if their answers are genuine.

the mental image of these two just sitting on separate couches angrily texting...

[boarwitness]

[WHO IS THIS MYSTERIOUS EDGELORD? he stares at the text for a solid handful of seconds before furiously responding, because there are two edgy guys here, actually????]

You're splitting hairs over word usage? You're the pathetic one, for sure. What do you consider a threat on your life? Bad grammar?

But you did admit that even if people don't have to respond, he has no business asking it, so I'll give you that much.

they need to CHILL

[chokuto]

A threat to my life is someone looking to end it.

[Shouldn't that be?? obvious?? ]

I don't see where I admitted anything like that. In any case, Naruto responded below, so I'll let you speak to him yourself now as you wanted.

[Hmph.]

[boarwitness]

Feel free not to barge into any more conversations uninvited.

[chokuto]

[He’ll do it again just for you. :)]

[Naruto is quietly stunned. While he knows without a sliver of doubt that he can count on Sasuke if his life depended on it—the idea that his best friend would come to his defense like this over something so small... Well, it fills him with a brilliant warmth. And so, when the blond goes to respond to Felix, it's with an incorrigible grin.]

[acknowledgement]

so what if it's not the whole truth?
so long as i'm hearing different perspectives
i can make better judgements on the situation

if you wanna think i'm irritating or nosy
go right ahead
sounds like a you problem tbh
(that means to be honest)

[boarwitness]

[big shout out to naruto for translating that for this fantasy medieval catholic, he will never say thanks]

Then I will think that. Not that I needed your permission.

Although your "friend" is worse.

[acknowledgement]

[Careful, Felix. Naruto has one trigger.]

watch your mouth
you're making a stupid judgment on someone you don't know
just because they criticized you
it's pathetic
shit talk me all you want
but i won't stand by and let you bad mouth him

[boarwitness]

[IS THIS........ DOUBLE WHITE KNIGHTING??????

for a solid few seconds, felix just watches the messages come in, slightly at a loss for words. bosom buddies, bound in enthusiastic defense of each other??]

And you're doing the same.

[acknowledgement]

i've had two conversations worth to see what you're like
this isn't some quick stupid judgement i'm making
just because i don't like what you have to say
that's the difference.

[He even used punctuation.............]

and for the record
if you want a conversation to be between just two people
make it private
you don't have any right to tell Sasuke where he is or isn't invited
on MY message post thing

[boarwitness]

And I've had the whole span of your "message post thing" to see what you're like.

Enjoy your research.

[no WAY is he having more conversations with the buddybros, absolutely cannot relate]
