Chapter 5.0: A Match Into Water
For once in her life, Sarada felt at ease and relaxed once a joke struck the air. She couldn’t help but let out a small chuckle of delight. She knew she had to retort something back. ”Oh? Then you can have Horus’ old gilded cage,” she added with a small smile.
After a brief second of silence, Shiroma and her other half seemed to agree with being used as a social experiment. While it didn’t settle well with herself, she didn’t have a ruling over their personal choice on the matter. ”I say you continue doing what you’re doing with your own observing and testing the waters. With two powerful Jonin onboard, it won’t be much of a hassle picking up after any dire mistakes,” she reassured. ”I approve like I have said before. Just don’t do it in the worst of times. We can’t afford to lose another great shinobi to the war,” she complimented.
Shiroma pointed out her misunderstanding of things to the original report but Sarada needed to clarify her theory first. ”That may be the case, however from what you explained in that report, you were still fully aware of what was going on and what was happening, but you weren’t doing it. I believe it was the genjutsu that kept the two of you separated as to not cause interference. With time towards the end, you were able to slightly influence captivating so they could help you. With that small push and the release of the jutsu, it split you two apart creating the separation of minds,” she clarified her reasonings. ”Even though it wasn’t actually you committing those actions under the genjutsu, something else was. The moment you realized this, you created the split, the friction between the two minds. It has always been there Shiroma. Just now, you have more control over it,” she added as she thought over Sigmund’s case now.
”This may sound crazy however I believe Sigmund’s case will turn out the same way. It seems this darkened chakra has influence on our negative emotions. Every person in the world has negative emotions that causes darkness from within. Some actually purify themselves with the waterfall of truth as it is a myth that that waterfall allows you to see the darkness from within and ward it off. I think every person has a darker side to them, one that can cause havoc everywhere they go. I believe that chakra has an influence that causes an entirely new soul to be created as if we are just the host to mold that person,” she rambled on again. ”I can imagine if this theory is actually true, we could potentially all be doomed; fighting ourselves, destroying ourselves...” she uttered as she blinked, shaking her head.
”Sorry. I am rambling again. I don’t mean to bore you with grown-up talk,” she joked, obviously not an adult herself but could very much well be there if she wanted to.
