"Yeah. I'd hope even that alone would shift things for the better..."

"We'll likely have to wait and see, sadly."

"Never fun to be caught in the middle of."

"Not at all."

"Anything else while I'm here?"

"Not that I can think of."

He nods.

"Thanks."

"You've - given me a lot to think of."

"We have a lot of work coming up, don't we?"

"We do."

"But I think we can manage it."

He smiles, and heads out to find Sasuke.
