Seventh Swarm || [Voice/Action]

[Shino hadn't heard from Naruto in quite a while so he decided to swing by the Hyperactive Knuckle-headed ninja's house in order to ~~check on him~~ annoy him with bugs. Upon arriving however, he found that nothing was there besides the standard furniture. He let out an inaudible mental sigh before opening his journal and making and entry about his ~~friends~~ annoyances departure.]

…

For all who knew him… Naruto has been returned home.

[Itachi sounds thoughtful.]

That is... unfortunate. [Except that he prefers Naruto to be back in their home world, especially if his brother is already back there. He might have thought it coincidental, but Sasuke had disappeared a good while before now.]

[UCHIHAAAAAAA![

Yes... it is. [He is just slightly narrowing his eyes right now and hoping the hood will cover his face enough not to show it. What is your hidden intention Itachi HUH?]

I wonder.

Would you honestly prefer him here, or back where he can make a real difference?

[There is a small amount of silence before he speaks.]

If I were to choose, it would be back home. Why? Because he is needed.

...Then it's a good thing he's there.

Hmm... even so.

Losing a comrade... even for a good cause has never sat well with me.

Understandable, but you shouldn't dwell on it.

I have no intention of doing so. Him being home is for the better after all.

[Despite what he feels about it, he will agree on Itachi on that point at least.]

Yes, it...

[Oh, hey Naruto's voice.]

...

[Gawd he hates Naruto. Soooo much.]

It seems... he has returned.

So it does.

Perhaps I should leave you two to catch up.

If you so wish...

[Oh, Shino. Always so talkative and full of life in these conversations.]

[It's only been a little while since he woke up back out int he forest. Luckily, he remembered this place and after overreacting about how it's always during training, he saw Shino's post.]

Uh... Actually, I just got back.

[Makes a mental note of GRUDGE.]

[No response?] ... Shino? Hey, you're there, right?

...

Welcome back... Naruto. [He hates you soooo much. Hatehatehatehate.]

Thanks. [...] How long's it been since I left? A few days?

[Had to be only a few days if Shino just made an entry about it. So much has happened back home too.]

...

...

Possibly. [Probably. I mean, more than likely.]

[The hell is that supposed to mean?] What's today's date?

It is January 23rd. Year uncertain.

[He doesn't care what WHAT says. He is not believing crap here about years and what not. Especially when he doesn't know where the heck this place even is. ~~If Luceti calendars even have years ffff.~~]

[Give him like half a minute. He has to do math.]

[--WHAT.]

It's almost been two weeks!? Why'd you wait so long to tell people in the first place!?

Because I only just found out...

[Which ttly doesn't look bad or antyhing.]

Wh-- [This... This is what it's like to feel like Shino and want to hold a grudge, isn't it?] ... Seriously?

[He nods.]

We thought you might have been so quiet because you were up to shenanigans of some sort.

[He's just going to drag the others into this too kthx.]

Oh, come on! Really? [You all suck.] What do you guys think I do all day?

.... Consume Ramen.

Huh? [Long pause. Really long pause.] I do more than that!

... [Wait, you do?] Are you certain?

Of course I am! C'mon!

Hmmm...

[HE'S STILL SKEPTICAL. And that 'Hmm.' might hint towards such. Whelp change of subject.]

How do you feel? [As in did they experiment on you?]

Betrayed. [He took it literally (and answered it half-sarcastically).]

...

It is a better outcome than most have experienced after returning...

... Huh? [Oh! He meant with the being sent home thing.] Oh! No, I'm pretty fine. Just spent awhile back home is all.

[Right before Naruto gets back:]

...Figures. I was wondering why things were so quiet lately.

Hmm. All of his stuff has vanished as well.

[It was almost as if he was never here...]

I hear that's what happens when people leave this place.

[There's a long pause as Shikamaru tries to figure out how he feels about this. His initial response surprises him, brief as it is. When push comes to shove, he's always known that he'd prefer being here by himself over having anyone from home with him, but he'd have to be lying to not admit to himself that he isn't a little homesick.

There's rarely a dull moment in Luceti, but no one quite reminds him of Konoha the way Naruto does.]

...That's good. He has things to do back home. He was here long enough to begin with.

Hmm... [He does an agreeable nod. There's no doubt about him being supah important back home.]

Though... I do not agree with having comrades suddenly snatched away without notice.

That's troublesome, but not exactly unexpected with this lot. They sure as hell don't seem to think of our convenience when it comes to these matters.

[There's a grunt as he moves from where he was sitting.] Anyways. I'll tell Chouji and-

...Oi.

[That is a distinctly Naruto-ish sounding voice coming over the journals now, man. YOU SURE YOU CHECKED THAT APARTMENT OUT.]

[There... is just a very deep frown upon his face. Can you sense the RAGE and ANGER Shika?]

[Logic dictates that would be his cue to leave the conversation, lest he direct that grudge against himself. 8|b

Though he'll try to smooth it over some before he does.] Just keep in mind he didn't plan this, huh?

... True. It is the Malnosso's doing.

[Makes notes to grudge more against them.]

Yup. Only thing you can blame Naruto for is his sense of timing.
