"Good. Kakashi deserves that." He smiled. "I'm calmer than I was when I was a kid, I think. But I've actually got more energy than I did then. I don't even need to sleep much anymore, really. Unless I want to."
"Naruto... Naruto helped me play pranks on my ANBU Senpai when he was a small child. Kakashi helped with -that- venture." His lips quirked into a little smirk. "Tenzou got a picture of it. I still think it was worth it, even if it's caused aggravation for shinobi across the village in the years since the boy stopped having ANBU sitters."
"No. Definitely like his mother." He made a little noise of amusement. "All of ANBU set about teaching the boy the ANBU sign when he was six. The commanders were not amused."
"You think so?" Normally he would have denied his own intelligence. Obito played dumb around people, most of the time. It was just easier to observe them and to go about his own way when they assumed he was an idiot. But with Itachi, of course, there was no reason to. And even if there had been, he suspected that his cousin would see through the act.
There was a brief moment where he looked lost, and then it was gone as he nodded. "Yes, I really do. My kind... You get pushed and pushed until it would be so -easy- to just break. But you can't, because then you would fail the ones pushing you, and you wouldn't let them if you didn't want to make them pleased with you."
Obito was quiet a moment. "A lot was expected of you. Too much, really," he mused. "Even when you were little. Now it's the whole village expecting things, I guess."
"I was a genin at seven. I was ANBU at ten." He looked over at him and gave him a faint humorless smile. "Yay. Father was so very disappointed I didn't make Chunin sooner."
Obito winced, lips drawing back and eyebrows lowering in a flash of anger. It wasn't right, that kind of relentless drive. "And then the Purge, and now hokage," he commented.
"Purge at fourteen, Hokage at fifteen, then two years of grappling with the other Kages to convince them that my age doesn't mean they should take it as a weakness in Konoha."
"I don't have that option." His voice was very gentle, and he ran his fingers over his belly lightly. "At the very least I have a good handful of years before the person best for taking the position off my hands is available."
