[Open, Non-Event]

[first_host]

For once, one of the very rarest of moments had occurred. Mito was not the type to get lost or not know the layout of the village between Konoha and Uzushio as if it were the back of her very hand. This time, however, she'd ended up on the outskirts of Michi no Sato with confusion apparent on her face, not sure how she'd taken a wrong turn. Or, even, what this village was.

Tapping the side of her chin with her forefinger she quietly investigated the area right outside of the little village, not sure what to make of it or even if it were friendly. Even with the foundation of the ninja villages, tensions were still high if one were not careful. Steps were light and quiet as she moved from cover to cover, even if her cover was rather easily blown by the fairly ornate kimono and crimson colored hair.

If anything, the woman may have appeared almost skittish to the casual onlooker, or as if a spy of some shape or form.

Once the seal showed up she immediately paused as her eyes locked onto it. That seal wasn't the one she was expecting, not entirely. Dropping his shirt she takes a few steps back, hand immediately covering her mouth as she does so. "No, that can't be right..."

The reaction immediately garnered his full attention, and he dropped his hands, back going straight as wariness, well trained wariness, instantly crossed his face. Should he go? He should probably go.

"That seal. It has been some time since I've seen it, it's akin to my own but is very clearly the Dead Demon Consuming Seal." Which meant that someone died for it to happen, maybe that would explain why he didn't know where his parents were, maybe they had died.

"Naruto, tell me, do you ever hear a voice in the back of your head?"

[withoutareason]

"Nope." Not even a little.

...

Was he supposed to?

He was just about on the verge of going silent and switching to hand seals for talking here.

"He must not be able to yet, then..." There was time to prepare for the inevitable, to teach how to deal with such a burden. Though she was having to do her best to hold back the anger boiling within her at subjecting a child to being the host of the beast.

"Listen to me. That seal means that someone has sealed the same demon I have within you. It means he will begin to speak soon, try to turn you towards hatred and anger. You cannot allow for him to do such a thing, no matter what he may tell you. No matter how true he might be, if you do then he will be able to take control of you and you will no longer be able to stop him."

[withoutareason]

He frowned at her, hands fluttering through a few words before he caught himself and lowered them, forcing himself to speak aloud. He was distressed, make no mistake about that. "I'm not gonna just give up because you think I might. M'not that weak."

[first_host]

"I never said to give up against him. If anything, you must fight him every step of the way and be careful about it." She didn't want to distress him, but for one so young it seemed she was to be the one to inform him of what was going on. Not that she was pleased at all that someone would think it a good idea to seal a powerful and conniving demon in a child.

[withoutareason]

He stomped his foot, practically radiating upset at this point. "You were talking about if I failed. I'm not gonna."
