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.)]

I'm trying to keep up, this isn't exactly being explained well or fast.

W/e, I'm sorry I said what I said about him not being smart, that part was a dick move. But so is blasting all this out in public when no one else brought it up and Jonas obv didn't know what was going on.

Can we agree on that?

[craters]

（ okay, that she can't actually argue that. 😩 damnit, naruto. ）

It was a little thoughtless of him, but he means well.

He isn't someone who says things on purpose to hurt other people out of nowhere.

All you have to do is explain to him why it wasn't appropriate and give him a chance to understand your point of view.

[fessus]

I get that he means well. He's my friend.

[ That's the title Naruto had applied and he's happy to return it, honestly. Maybe he's absentminded but he's sincere, he cares, and he wants to help people. This... may just not have been a shining moment of that. ]

And I explained it. That doesn't mean people don't get to be annoyed about it, just like you came after me immediately when I said smth stupid. He deserves to get called out.

[craters]

（ there goes naruto, making friends with everyone. it does soften her expression, a little. ）

That's fair.

[fessus]

Cool.

So if you could help explain that kinda stuff to him from your side too it'd probably make it easier in the future js

[craters]

（ excuse you. don't turn this lecture around on her!! ）

Naruto doesn't need me to say those things to him.

When he makes mistakes, he learns and does better.

（ she's not going to coddle him. it's never worked like that. if he upset jonas, it's up to him to apologize and deal with the fallout of that. but she's still not going to just stand by and let anyone insult him over it, either. ）

PRIVATE......

[fessus]

It's not about Naruto

I mean it's not about if I think he can change or is a good guy or w/e, I already said that. I just don't know if I'm explaining it right or getting it through to him and since he's your friend you probably have a better take.

[craters]

（ oh. so she misread him.

hm. ）

You just said you're his friend too.

I've known him longer, but Naruto never lies about being friends with someone. He'll want to listen and understand your point of view.

If you don't feel you're not getting through to him, try again.

Or punch him a couple times.

That seems to work...

[fessus]

[ In a moment that's full of tension, misunderstanding, and embarrassment... the sudden laugh that suggestion gets out of him is a welcome breath of fresh air. Punch him?

Shoulders ease ever-so-slightly out of their defensive hunch as he exhales, shaking his head in the privacy of his shabby rented room. ]

Punch him huh?

Yeah I've got a couple other guys ik who are like that.

[ No, we do not shy away from violent bonding in this household. ]

Thanks for the advice.

[craters]

Just warn him first...

... And maybe call me if there's any serious injuries afterwards...

[fessus]

If he gets a bruise I'll lyk lol, it's good having a doctor around

[craters]

I'm more worried about you.

（ ✌️ ）

[fessus]

Good, I could use more people looking out for me

[ I choose to see the silver lining in eVERY DISS!! ]

[craters]

Awh.

You're all right, Noctis.

[fessus]

You're all right too, ig.

[craters]

（ gross, bye. ）
