if you want any kind of nart specifically (pre-shippuden, pre-kyuubey control, pre-god powers or any kind of AU) feel free to just suggest it in a tag or put it in the subject line? i am freeeee and eeeeeeeeasy
[ Naruto isn't really expecting an apology - well, not one as genuine and as easy as that one, anyway - but when it comes he feels strangely comforted by it, as if being reassured of his decision that Ban is good people... even though, to Naruto, literally everyone for the most part falls under his good people umbrella. ]
You an' me? [ He parrots, sticking his hands in the pockets of his jacket and looking mildly interested for a long moment. It did sound good - he's been keeping busy like always, but with people leaving left and right and the missions being garbled there's a real feeling of a lack of control or loss of it, and even to someone as naive as Naruto it makes him feel a little uneasy.. Plus, Ban has a similarly loose sense of priority, and though 'taking a breather' probably isn't ideal right now, it's nice to have the offer there. ]
Aaah, are you just sayin' that 'cos you wanna boss someone around? I ain't bein' your sidekick, y'know!
[ That is absolutely not a no, though, as evident when he turns to the screen and squints at it to try and make out.. well, anything. ]
What kinda mission are ya interested in?
wow THOUGHT I HIT REPLY ON THE ORIGINAL COMMENT this is my hell
[It didn't seem likely he'd match Naruto's enthusiasm, especially given the few missions he had been reading up on. The idea of having a fun mission like the monster-hunting variety the King of Liones had usually offered seemed off the table. The local bosses sounded like they wanted finesse and caution. He was only good at one of those at a time.
Naruto didn't seem like he'd do any better than Ban would, though. Two dim candles could still light up a room, though. With a snicker, Ban snapped his hand on the board behind the hologram he had been reading.
Realizing his arm was elbow-deep in the hologram, Ban wordlessly pulled it back and simply held his finger aloft in front of the text.]
No worries~. If anythin', I don't mind being the guy who's gonna do the heavy-lifting. If you wanna make it your operation, I don't miiind ♪.
[The title of the mission was simply: Eliminate the demonic prince terrorizing this countryside.]
[ Naruto is still categorically not an expert when it comes to these new-age mechanics like holograms and transporters and whatever else has just become a natural way of life the longer he's here, but he feels well versed in them enough to snort with laughter when Ban's arm is engulfed in holo-glow. It's funny because it's not him for a change. ]
Oh, sure! Sounds good to me, y'know! [ The squiggles mean absolutely nothing to Naruto, so it's not like he can complain much. He raises his arms above his head and flexes each one at the elbow like he's prepping for a fight in a video game. It's true enough that Naruto is literally ready to go at the drop of a hat, and now is no exception. ] Are ya sure you've not got rusty while you've been gone, huh?
[ Where the fuck is he going, he's just. He's just off. Apparently he's been hungry for action more than even he's realized. ]
It's okay if ya have, I'm here to watch your back, y'know!
no subject
