You're like the second person I've seen performing a stunt like that here.

[You're not really anyone she could easily recognize though, compared to Robin.]

Are you going to be alright, mam?

[She answers once she's gotten her gear back, so it'll be a few minutes. Now she's glad she spent some time getting familiar with it.]

Yeah, I'm fine. Nothing hurt but my ego, I think. [Somehow she's reassured by the first part, but curious.] So who was the first?

[Oh now if that isn't a familiar sight and finally someone she can say isn't a child. It doesn't stop her from grinning at the screen and her Magcargo snickering from Tsunade's lap.]

Chakra doesn't work here, no tree hopping is allowed. [A gentle teasing tone.]

T-Tsunade-senin?? [HOLD UP A SECOND. We'll get back to the teasing in a second.] No way, they got you too?!

KUSHINA-NEE, YOU'RE HERE!!!!!!!

[If you happen to be with Obito, there is no doubt you would have heard that, just saying, and the boy looked like he wanted to hug his gear or cry.]

[Oh what in the hell is this about. Now she's REALLY confused.] O... Obito...?

[Her face flickers with excitement, but mostly confusion, a mix of both as the two emotions war for top spot.] Is that really you? Is this some kind of jutsu...? [She's not ruling that out until she has some kind of proof. She'd like to know exactly what the hell is going on, please.]

[A few seconds later he manages to fumble around with the gear, switching the video function on in order to greet her.]

M-

[Though he ends up pausing during the middle of the very first word. It's his Mom, and she's really here, why hadn't he ever thought of that possibility before? Plenty of other people were here that had been dead.

BUT MOM IS HERE. And they can meet up and train together and go on adventures and MAYBE DAD WILL SHOW UP TOO and they can be a family and everything will be alright and-

Yeah, there's a good thirty seconds or so of silence as he has this expression, holding back tears as the implications of this are catching up to him.

Ok deep breaths Naruto, you are a man and a strong shinobi and you are not going to publicly cry at seeing your mom.]

[Have a red-headed kid who doesn't seem as concerned about your fall as he probably should be.]

Something about this world seems to make people weaker. I can't move through the treetops as easily or as fast as I normally can either.

[Seeing as her comrades back home wouldn't bat an eyelash at a fall like that she's not too fussed about it. She's more concerned about what he's SAYING than what he's not.]

They must have done something to us between taking us from our homes and our waking up here, then.

[You know Killua has laughed at a lot of women, no matter how scary or violent they happen to be. This lady she is someone new who should be feared......And he certainly isn't going to change now. So brb laughing at you.]

HAHAHAHHAHA

[WHAT? OH MY GOD SERIOUSLY, KID?! SERIOUSLY???]

H-HEY, SHUT UP! It's not that funny!

[ he feels mildly confused about what he just watched... that wasn't on purpose, right? ]

... Are you alright?

[Nope. Not on purpose. She thought she'd try going off road to do some tree running practice and it hasn't ended well in any form.]

Yeah, I'm fine. [Admitted a bit hastily, reaching up to rub at the back of her head.] I've had worse!

... [... No seriously. What.]

[Finally, FINALLY she cracks an embarrassed grin.]

Okay. To be fair I guess that's actually pretty generous considering I fell out of a tree.

Ah, are you okay, miss~?

Yeah, I'm fine, just frustrated. Thanks. [It was nice of people to ask.]

[Between both Obito and Naruto ("Kushina-nee!", "MOM! MOM!!") there's little chance he wouldn't have figured out someone else from home was present on line.

The video is short; only a couple of seconds long. There's a nice shot of his headband, goggles and... not much else. Admittedly, he's curious to see Naruto's mother. But not wanting to intrude on the family reunion-- he abruptly cuts it off.

Knowing Naruto, he'll expect to see her in person soon enough.]

[Oh no you don't Shino--]

Hey, hold on a second!
