Chouji | “Okay, it’s an intervention, yes, but with… meatballs, so it’s a dinnervention!“ The poor sweet child knew not what intervention really meant in his young age. But he did know what meatballs were and he knew dinner. So a dinnervention couldn’t be so bad! Besides it’s mostly the imagination of a six year old.

I'm getting too old for this...

Torifu's usual unimpressed scowl remains on his face, his gaze an unblinking one, but he's not actually angry in the slightest.

Reality is that he finds the child charming but also worries for him more than he cares to admit.But children don't need to be bogged down by the worries of grown-ups, especially old men that've long-since outlived their usefulness and right to say much of anything, so he doesn't give voice to his concerns.

Instead, he quietly huffs.

"I'll.. be sure to remember that. ...You're a lot more like your father than he realizes, you know."

"Sometimes you have to get captured just to get a straight answer."

If how he keeps his sight trained on the paper--even full of scratched lines and hastily scribbled numbers as it is--before him is any indication, he's not listening to you, Anko.Not fully, at least.

Sometimes, her words make him wonder if she's genuinely trying to speak of her experiences (he doesn't have all of the information, but he does have a vague idea of the abuse she suffered at the hands of one of Hiruzen's most prominent mistakes)--in which case, he'd be glad to listen; it wouldn't be the first time he's been a listening ear for someone (and whether he'll admit it or not, there's a vague fondness for how ornery of a gal Anko is)) or if she's just trying to unsettle him.

..which won't work, by the way. (After seeing his wife's corpse ripped open, midsection destroyed and gone, much like the child that had still been growing within her (meaning that on top of never getting to properly meet his son or daughter, he couldn't even give them a proper funeral), there isn't a whole lot that could easily unsettle him anymore.)

Sorry, Anko.

"Mm.. Perhaps. But there are too many factors for it to be a reliable way to gather information, and you'll have to forgive me for not being too enthusiastic about the idea of being captured in the midst of war. ..again."

While there's the obvious advantage of conserving energy that peace and quiet grants, Torifu can't help but to be distrusting of it, glancing this or that way nearly every time he hears a noise, his usual scowl deepening for those moments.

He's not sure why--Is it defensive? An intimidating gesture? (Somewhere in the back of his mind, he laughs at that; He's been told before by some less-than-kind individuals that he looks like an angry boar. But it didn't bother him much, because he was well aware that he could've crushes the three of them in one hand with ease.)

Whether or not it was intentional, Torifu finds his attention drawn back to Danzo as some borderline-ghostly woman passes by, both by how the other man subtly draws closer to him and how the woman seems to pay neither of them any mind.

His first impulse is to ask Danzo if he's okay, but that's nagging behaviour he'd expect from someone like.. Koharu, perhaps, and he'd be damned if he'd intentionally bring up something even remotely related to Hiruzen unless it was absolutely necessary. (Which, for the moment, it wasn't. Thank whatever useless deities watch over them.)

Instead, he shakes his head and gives a non-committal, nearly silent grunt as he places a hand on the other man's shoulder, as if to reassure him.

It's a gesture he finds himself repeating when the women and their instruments approach, hoping that his purposefully-unenthusiastic, unimpressed, and falsely-tired voice uttering a single word ('No.') would be enough to keep them at bay.

"So." he finally begins, finding his voice easier once away from the other people. "What are we supposed to do now?"

For as much as he prattled on and on that Danzo had a terribly tendency to work too hard, it wasn't that much worse than his own, and just like most times when he finds himself free from obligations, he doesn't know what to do with himself.
