A year ago, in my own dimension, we were at war. I wouldn't have wanted to be taken from that. [The state of insanity he was in notwithstanding.] At least you know a powerful adversary is trapped here with you. He can't help your opponent back there.
There's nothing to get into. [TCH......] If you're going to help ensure I don't become overwhelmed by my Shadow, then we should understand each other better. That's all.
Also, what is this pressure. Fine... he will tell the first person ever about what he is... it only took the game closing to get here.]
I'm a shinobi. My abilities utilize chakra, a life force that can be manipulated by my body. Due to the genetics of my clan, the Uchiha, I have an affinity for fire nature as well as the inheritance of a kekkei genkai — a bloodline limit — called the Sharingan.
If we are at battle, your first priority should be to disable my eyes.
（ well, literally none of that's any weirder than 'shinigami', so he just. takes it all in stride. ）
i can fight blind, if that helps.
（ he made a point of it, after ginjō. he'd fought panicked and scared before, but never without his vision. that fear had carried over into his training, and while he wouldn't call himself proficient, he's decent enough. ）
how's your healing? i wouldn't want to do anything permanent.
（ he's made peace with that — or what passes as peace, anyway. even before he knew his heritage in full, he was still different. normal kids don't see ghosts. ）
most of them are. the youngest one i know is seventy or so. the oldest...
（ old man yama comes to mind. he didn't know the guy well enough to grieve, but the impact of his loss echoed throughout seireitei. he's never forgotten that urahara's spirit blade was forged on his order. ）
probably like 3000 or so i guess.
but i was born in the human world. aged normally. went to school. i thought i was human until not too long ago.
and yeah, they do. but a shinigami is born in the spirit world and ages there. it just wasn't the path of my life.

So you were trying to stop him, but then you were forced here. ... You must be worried.

my friends will do their best, but that fight should have been mine.

that's dangerously close to an optimistic outlook, uchiha. you sure you want to get into that with a near stranger?
( he recognizes that it's meant as comfort, and you know what? he's grateful. )

[Don't make me bring Sakura into this.]
Fighting blind will help, but I have abilities that can work despite that.
What does it mean to be a shinigami?
no subject
（ hahaha... ha... ha. ）
i guess are you asking in terms of offensive or defensive capabilities?
no subject
Never mind. You shouldn't tell me anything I could use against you.
... Are you still human?
[are we human or are we dancer]
