[ Obito's eyes drift to the floor, eyelashes curtaining red irises as he allows remorse to be readable in his expression. He's fully aware that doing the right thing now would only serve to lift his guilt and not actually make up for anything he's done. He can't begin to comprehend being forgiven by those affected by him.

Being alive now isn't a gift. It's more like a curse, and one that will haunt his victims rather than give them any peace or closure. He can only hope that other ninja from their world won't have to be brought here and be confronted with his existence.

There are more pressing matters to tend to than the heavy weight of guilt on his shoulders, however. And Obito trusts that Sasuke is capable of distancing himself from their past enough that he can make use of a potential alliance. Just as they had before, they now have a common enemy. ]

Yes. It's quite impressive, actually. Whoever has placed these limitations must be formidable. It's something we should keep in mind before doing anything hasty. [ He fully expects Sasuke to give him some kind of retort, pointing out that he doesn't need to be directed or coddled.

He's pretty predictable. Which worries Obito, unless he's had some convenient character development since the last he saw him. ]

Finding a way to lift those limitations will take patience, for one thing. If I discover anything that may be of use or value to you, I will be sure to contact you.

For now, I suppose it would be wise to cooperate...
