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."
"Well. You ought to let me take you on a vacation, or something." He brightened, thinking about it. "You could leave Tsunade in charge for just a little while, or something. Her grandaddy was hokage. She could probably handle it." He glanced down at his own right hand, a genetic replica of old Hashirama's.
"Good." His expression shifted a bit at the word pregnancy. Startled, amused. He still found the whole concept completely bizarre. "Next time, I'll go with you. Take you somewhere nice."
"I wish I'd come back in time to..." But there were to many ways to end that. To be with him during the Purge, to see him become hokage, to support him in the first years of it. To talk him out of taking in Hoshigaki Kisame--maybe. "Well. I'll try and make it up to you."
"Yeah." He shrugged. "I won't. I'll try not to, anyway. I got a job around here to do now, don't I? At least for a while. And I want to see... well, not everyone. But some people."
"Poor Mikoto," he said quietly, just thinking aloud. She had been so kind to him when he was a boy, with no parents of his own to go to. "What happened between you two, exactly?"
