“His dedication to his goals. He’s smart, capable, and will figure things out on his own.”

“Deidara.”

Hmmmm….
“Mosquitoes are quite an annoyance.” He doesn’t hang around places enough that are infested with roaches. Roaches don’t bite, anyways.

“No.”

“I don’t have quite a preference.”

He tries to think about the inquiry seriously for a moment… But nothing comes. He doesn’t pay attention to those sorts of things. They seem unimportant. Too…civilian.

“I prefer the rain.” That, to him, suffice as an answer.

What counts as a minor talent….? He’s not sure, actually.
[[ ItaSasu is more popular, but that’s due to it being the first thing people really shipped.
In the early days of Naruto, Itachi was thought of as truly evil, controlling, dominant, and so on. We had no reason to believe otherwise for a long time. Sasuke was his victim, so ItaSasu with Itachi as a dominant, aggressive, and possessive partner was naturally the most popular thing.
Things shifted as the story progressed, but for a lot of people, what they were comfortable with first is what they prefer. I don’t like to do this, I like to learn new info. I personally prefer SasuIta over Itasasu, it feels more natural now that we know the entire story.
So it’s a mix of people sticking to their preferences as well as what the story led us to believe for a very long time. ]]
