[indent]Hayato could only laugh. This girl. Kami. She was so ignorant. So idealistic. She had no clue. Not a damned clue at all what the world was like. Sputtering nonsense like there cannot be peace without war. As if things were as simple as good and even. Black and white. Laughter. Yes, laughter, that was all that echoed throughout Hayato for the moment. He dropped his swirling ball of death to press two fingers to his forehead, trying to regain the composure that this girl had knocked out of him with such asinine comments.[/indent]

[center]It only got better, too. This girl spoke of perfection, the flaws of humanity - emotions as if they mattered.[/center]

Hayato, despite his laughter, allowed his metallic balls to continue floating mid air. He may have been entertained, but he was not one to completely let his guard down. Within the White Noise Zone of his balls, he could sense every vibration in the air. If the girl moved, he'd know it and find a new way to knocked her down. He surmised she could sense chakra as well, thus knew that he had his chakra in the entire area around him, and was pretty sure she wouldn't make an attack when she was quite literally enveloped by a threat that, for the moment, wasn't being aggressive. At least, not yet. It did take a few more moments for Hayato to regain his composure. This girl, her age he forgot, spoke of things that grown men tried to speak of and still sounded like idiots. She was no different.

[i]'Youse a fuckin' idiot,"[/i] he told her, still chuckling. [i]"You t'ink that war was jus' black'n'white, right'n'wron'. Youse think, youse really think, dat Gen-Oh-Side jus' happened? Like an' on-off switch Sai jus' happened to flip on?"[/i] he half-yelled at her, his voice only raised because of a type of maniacal laughter. [i]"Let me tell ya why history rarely gets tol', girl. Let me tell ya the big secret we keep from ya. Ya see, I was part of Ame. Same place Sai came from. I met'm. I knew'm. Not well, but I knew'm. Mother fuckah was so nice, you'd never guess he was e'en a shinobi, an' never carried weapons. Wore this formal gown, too. He was a war hero, too; before his sensei took o'er, his squad was called Owari. Meant teh end. Literally, girl. Ya see, Sai was a beast. Teh Sage seals we hunt? Dey're part of him. His flesh. Bits of'm using ungodly jutsu that make men into monsters t'at Kage fear. Senjutsu is what it's called, but lemme tell ya girl, it ain't natural...[/i]

His tone changed. Greatly. Hayato was transitioning from his rage to what seemed like partial admiration. [i]"But Sai made it work. He was a medic-nin, jus' like yourself. He saved thousands of lives. He was called teh Storm Dragon. His brother was teh Sea Dragon, and teh last part of his squad was the Star Dragon. Teh brought honor to teh name Dragon, and in Ame it was teh highest rank. We looked up to'm. Even got to meet'm when we got out of teh academy. Sai ended up bein' teh Ame ambassador to Konoha, an' had this girl here he fell for. And dat's jus' it girl. No one truly knows what 'appened, 'cept Shin. Shin was dere. He saw what turned Sai into teh man you know. Teh man every single person hates. Shin don' ever talk 'bout it, but lemme tell ya dis: Shin is Sai's nephew, an' still betrayed him. Shin 'as killed two Jounin here already 'cause dey asked too many questions. Whate'er happened to teh guy, it cain't be toll jus' by words."

"But let me tell you dis. Teh Second Great Shinobi War was started right here in Konoha. Dey broke off from Ame and Kumo, but Kiri and Iwa jumped in, as well. Teh whole damn world was fightin'. When I lef' to hide in Suna, it was only 'cause Konoha had us Ame-nin on teh run an' the new alliance made by teh Dragons took no prisoners. Ame kicked'm out 'cause teh Kage wanted to try an' side with Konoha. That is the war I talk about. Not teh one you t'ink of. The Gen-Oh-Side you t'ink you know so much about didn't happened 'til Sai took o'er, and no one knows what teh 'ell happened to'm. I know, girl, I was dere. So when I tell youse it was a pointless war, I fuckin' mean it. But takin' down Sai after what he did... youse right, girl, he deserved it. But don't chu fuckin' act like youse know what happened. You only been tol', but chu didn't see. You didn' fight. You didn't run fo' yo god-damned life 'cause no one would harbor yah, an' you didn't see all the pain a' war from teh sidelines. . ."[/i]

[indent]The sense of nostalgia left. It was replaced with despair. It became obvious that somewhere in his storytelling, Hayato lost himself to his own pent up rage. His own faults as one might say. Hayato threw away his years as a prodigy, his youth, to run in hiding. To stay hidden in desserts and to live a meager life. That was taken away by far more than Sai. That was taken away by every single person who fueled the war. Hayato and his youth was stolen, and he had all the rage in the world for it. [i]"If youse wanna make it in dis worl', you gotta see it foh what it is. Dere was far more den jus' one sinner corruptin' teh worl'. None'ah dis would've e'er came tah be, girl, if the generation before us could've jus' handled demselves a bit better... it wasn't jus' one man, no matter how much evil he did. An' I'll be damned if I jus' listen to one lil girl tell me 'bout peace'n'war when she don't know jack shit 'bout either."[/i][/indent]
