(Not really a) Vision of home. [Open to Konoha]

[sheisthesunshine]

Where: KONOHA, AND IT FEELS SO RIGHT
When: September 10th
Notes: Rin is home!!!! Also open to whoever wants to come welcome her home.

Just so she's clear: the hokage was getting another party. She demanded it. But it was close to Kakashi's birthday, and she wasn't going to steal his thunder. Later though, she would.

Her house was...dusty, even though it wasn't the first time anyone had disturbed it since she went with Lady Kushina to help. The musty smell would go away once she opened up the place and let fresh air in. She didn't see much point in staying inside once she was finished unpacking what she brought back from Uzu.

While it was true she had gotten to explore the village during her short visits, she wasn't counting those times! She was home for real now, so she was going to do a loop of the village properly too!

And figure out what to eat for dinner once she worked up an appetite. It should be something celebratory and familiar. Maybe she'd pry the important hokage away from his business for it. Perks of a childhood friend? That would fly, right?

He didn't even try to hide his brilliant smile, reaching up and taking her hand in both of his. "Yes, I know. You'll find out eventually."

[sheisthesunshine]

She scoffed lightly, but it was difficult to frown in the face of her old friend's unchained grin. That was unfair to use and uncalled for. Her own lips quirked up into a small, amused smile after only a moment or two of resisting.

"Well then, you have to catch me up on something or I'm gonna throw another Hokage inaugural bash because I couldn't do it properly last time, and then everyone in the village is going to be confused!"

[thebestuchiha]

"Something... okay! Sasuke made Jounin. Ah... Yep I can't really go into most of the others so let's go with that!" He gave a firm nod, rubbing at the back of his head. Yeesh, what was his life lately?

[sheisthesunshine]

"Oh! Really, before Hinata?" Unless Hinata being promoted was one of the secret things he couldn't get into...

She squinted and then poked at him playfully. "You're not slipping into favoritism now, are you~?"

[thebestuchiha]

"Before Hinata. She has other things to worry about." He eyed her right back, pouting. "If it was favoritism you're looking at the wrong student here."

[sheisthesunshine]

"Am I?" She hummed. "Is it Naruto or Hinata?"

[thebestuchiha]

"I'm just saying it makes no sense to accuse me of using favoritism on Sasuke that's all!" He lifted his hands, warding off the question. "They're all favorites depending on circumstances."

[sheisthesunshine]

"That's why it makes perfect sense! You're sneaking in favoritism where no one will expect!" She positively radiated amusement from where she stood. "Ahh...so you're the sort of sensei who tells your students you like the other one whenever you need them motivated!"

[thebestuchiha]

"No! I'm the kind of sensei who tells them what they're good at. And what they need to knock off or I'll smack out of them. Even Hinata needed some shaking so, there's that."

[sheisthesunshine]

She squinted at him, radiating skepticism. "I don't think you understand the definition of 'favorite', Obito. I'm not sure if I'll be able to trust you with any other favorites I ask you about now."

[thebestuchiha]

"I said it depended on circumstances!" He pouted at her, giving a little huff. "We'd gotten off of that favorite bit."

[sheisthesunshine]

"Hmm, did we?" The lilt in her voice signaled perhaps that she'd return to it whenever she found an opportune moment to strike, regardless.

"Okay! Have you come up with any special new jutsus since we last met?"

[thebestuchiha]

"Um. Maybe?" He paused, honestly thinking about the question. "I'm not sure what you know of me last doing actually. I mean, I've been working on some stuff but I'm not sure what I last had a chance to show you."

[sheisthesunshine]

She frowned in thought. "Well...I don't know. We didn't really have time to trade techniques or train together very much while I was helping in Uzushio. So...I haven't seen anything since you became Hokage."

[thebestuchiha]

"....Rin that's a whole lot of stuff I don't even know how to list." He blinked, staring at her, then gave her a lopsided smile. "Not sure where to even start."

[sheisthesunshine]

"Pick somewhere random! I can get dice." She beamed at him expectantly. It didn't really matter to her what order it was told, or...even what it was he told her, as long as she got to hear things about him she hadn't yet.

[thebestuchiha]

"Well... Um." He opened his mouth, closed it, and then sighed. "I don't know. There's a lot." He mentally groped for a moment. "Was I working on water techniques yet when you left?"

[sheisthesunshine]

"Hmm..." She hesitated a moment, thoughtful. "You were discussing it, but you hadn't started practicing anything yet." She laced her fingers together expectantly. "Have you developed something cool?"

[thebestuchiha]

He turned pink around the edges. "I don't know about cool, but useful at least."

[sheisthesunshine]

"Show me~!" She clapped her hands, expression eager. "It's not fair to build it up and not show me."

[thebestuchiha]

He huffed a breath and looked around. "I refuse to drown my office alright. I'd have to redo everything it damaged and ugh. No."

[sheisthesunshine]

And so she reached out to grab his wrist. "Alright, then! Come show me it outside!"

[thebestuchiha]

He chuffed a soft laugh, then got up to slide around his desk. "Okay okay. Off we go."

[sheisthesunshine]

She gave a little cheer of triumph, and then marched out of the room. Whether she led the Hokage out of the building or dragged him by the wrist relied entirely on how well he could keep up with her. "This is exciting~!"

[thebestuchiha]

"Exciting? Okay so I'm awesome but not sure how it's inherently exciting." He kept up, knowing better than to let her settle into dragging him.

[sheisthesunshine]

"I haven't seen your water jutsu yet! It's new and unknown and you won't tell me anything about it~" She stuck her tongue out at him over her shoulder. Because that was the mature thing to do.

[thebestuchiha]

"It was kind of hard to get the feel for but it's not all that impressive. It's nothing on my Earth or Fire stuff." He shook his head, huffing a laugh at her.

[sheisthesunshine]

"But it's useful! Right? And it must be big, if you can't do it in the office!" She grinned up at him. "See, you keep dropping me all these teasing hints!"

[thebestuchiha]

"Of course it's useful, and it's not that it's big, it's that it's wet. Water plus paperwork equals depressed Hokage okay?" He pouted at her, waving her along as he set off down the hall.
