[She knows. He can't keep pretending she doesn't. And what's more, if she knows, then he has to assume Sasuke does as well.

What went wrong? By every plan he's laid, Sasuke should never find out -- he should come and kill Itachi still believing that the Uchiha were blameless. If the truth has been revealed... His throat tightens. Is it all going to fall apart in the future?

But for the moment, he needs to deal with her]

If you insist.

[usedswift]

[So many things go wrong in the future. So many. But even Tenten doesn't know a lot about that; she only knows what she's learned here, which is almost all second-hand information.

She shakes her head with another frown and crosses her arms more tightly.]

I do. It's up to you if we ever get to be friends or not, but I'm not your enemy.

[She tilts her chin and uncrosses one arm to flick it into the air again.]

And once you get strong enough, challenge me to a battle with your Pokémon.

[gentlechild]

[He's not used to being the bottom of the strength totem pole. But now it's about his Pokémon's strength, not his. How... uncomfortable.]

I'll keep that in mind.

[It's an uncanny echo of what he told Sasuke so recently -- once you get strong enough, come find me -- but at the same time it's so... well. Trivial, at least from what he's seen. Fighting via animal proxy?

Still, the most jarring thing is Tenten's insistence on being his comrade. If he can't dissuade her...]

[usedswift]

[She'll challenge him to a physical fight, in time; once he's had time to adjust to a lack of Chakra. As it is, she's pretty confident that she'd be able to beat him, but it wouldn't mean anything, not really. Not until he's more accustomed to this world.

The Pokémon thing, though... that's what Sasuke had done to her, to force her to adapt. She'd like to see that happen with this guy, too.]

Make sure that you do, 'cause I won't forget it. I'm not gonna help you, you've gotta figure it out for yourself. But you're not alone, either.

[gentlechild]

I wouldn't expect you to help me. That's not what you do to someone you've challenged.

[As he knows well. As she might know, if she knows Sasuke. He has experience with this sort of thing.

You're not alone, though. Of course he's alone. He's chosen a course that won't let him be anything but.]
