   Kakashi grunted as he injected the basic antidote, knowing that it probably wouldn’t do much more than slow it down. He rolled his eyes, still feeling the urge to snap at everything. “As if the medic’ll know how to deal with this. I’ve never even heard of any poison like this. My guess is that it attacks the –fuck, my cuts!– amygdala, causing emotional instability.”

   Yeah no shit, Kakashi. He winced as his emotions began to turn onto himself, berating him into silence. He watched trees passed by, the pain fading into unpleasant aches. However his anger has not subsided. At all.

   “Why were you here anyways? I thought you had a break from missions.”

“Skilled medics are also trained in creation of antidotes.” Itachi adds, slightly adjusting Kakashi’s position on his shoulder as he goes. His part was done, at least.

“You aren’t dead yet, Hatake-san. The only symptom you seem to have is a lack of filter and heightened emotions.” Or maybe they were just his regular emotions usually kept under lock and key. With what constituted one of the universal shinobi laws, it wouldn’t be a surprise at all.

“It’s likely meant to be used in place of interrogation or invasive mind jutsu.” Given the Yamanaka technique was strictly for Konohagakure…

“Instead of waiting for you to break, or risking the chance of mutilating your body in the hopes you will speak through pain, the poison serves as a means to get you to be honest. And I took another mission.” Itachi didn’t like breaks, he wasn’t going to become Hokage by constantly resting and letting other shinobi get into dangerous situations. The week off he’d been commanded to take when he graduated to Chuunin had been one of the most boring of his life. 

Okk this a weird question, but how does Itachi talk? Like in all noble like way? Or just you know, normal, or commoners type of talk? In one of the english dub, he says “hey, whats up”to his brother, that is a talk most people talk in, in a easygoing way. I know weird question, but i wanna know.

[[ It’s not in a noble, stuck-up way. But it’s not entirely too casual, too. It’s in the middle, there. Itachi has some vocabulary that is not normal for people his age, given the whole ~more mature than others~ thing he has going on. He is more intelligent, and rational in a lot of cases, and his speech reflects this. He doesn’t show too much emotion in his speech and in his Akatsuki time it’s really close to levels of monotone. (to keep the cold, emotionless killer mask up.)

But he’s also not reading a thesaurus at you, or refusing to use contractions ala Lee. To be fair on the part of English, they have a hard job ahead of themselves, to match things like character speech styles vs mouthflaps. It’s why Naruto’s catchprase used to be Believe it, before it was “Yanno/Y’know”.

Personally, I’d like to rewatch the English dub to nail his speech mannerisms down a bit more. The voice I have is through years of practice but may be rusty. …Plus I miss Crispin Freeman. ]]

Do you think Kishimoto writes his female characters horribly??

[[ Not at all. Too many people have misconstrued “Girl acts in way I don’t approve of” to mean “Girl character is written horribly.” And it’s usually when the girl’s make mistakes or show qualities which are negative. Newsflash, women are capable of feeling a differing range of emotions, and acting in ways which aren’t always totally helpful, or being selfish, and so on. 

Plus, when the girls do things which negatively impact other people, they always get away with it under the guise of the author being at fault.

Case In Point: Sakura is excused for screaming at Sarada and destroying their house because “Kishimoto made her do it and he’s a shitty writer” while Sasuke is continually insulted and berated for not returning home for 15 or so years to see his wife and daughter. Didn’t Kishimoto make Sasuke stay away, too? 

Sounds mighty suspicious. ]]
