twenty-four crows (朱) video

[Itachi focuses the view on himself, sitting in the living room of the house he shares with Law. As usual, he's in a plain blue silk shirt with his black clothes beneath. At his feet, a gray cat rubs against the leg of his chair.]

It has come to my attention that several others from the world I originate from have arrived in Luceti. To them, if they are aware of who I am, I simply state my presence and assure that there is no need to consider me an adversary at this point in time. This is in the hopes of avoiding any unfortunate altercations in the future should we happen to run across each other.

[Things are chaotic enough as is.]

I am under close scrutiny [This is mostly true to a point.] and have been here for some time, so there is no cause for alarm.

I don't suppose you've ever considered a career in reporting.

That sounds fun, but I don't think I'm allowed! I kinda have to do the airbender air nomad thing 'cause reviving our culture is important.

Ah, I see.

And there is no room in your life to do both?

Maybe someday, after I get my mastery, but I dunno when that'll be! I was thinking I'd go travel places after that, though!

A reporter would get to travel to a lot of places, I would think.

You're right! So maybe I'll do that!

I definitely, definitely want to see the other Air Temples, though. Ooooh, and I want to go to Kyoshi Island! And the North Pole!

Sounds like you hail from an interesting place.

Yeah, I do! It's the world with bending! Haaaaaaaave you met Aang or Katara or Sokka or Toph or Roku or Zuko or Korra or Asami or Bolin or Tahno? [ yes all that was said very quickly and on one breath. ]

[He doesn't even look baffled for a moment.]

Ah, Katara-san. We've met in passing.

['In passing' is putting it a little lightly, but it'll do.]

She's my grangran! I'm from her world.

Grangran?

[Hold on, let's work that through translation...]

Your grandmother, I'm assuming?

[That has to be awkward.]

I'm about seventy years in the future from everyone 'cept Korra and Asami and Bolin and Tahno, yep.

That's quite the phenomenon.

Apparently it's lots more than most people are forward, but since Roku was already from over a century or two backwards, I think no one was tooooooo surprised.

Is time traveling so commonplace where you come from?

Oh, nope. I mean that we're all from the same world, right? Roku is from about two hundred years before the time my grandparents and everyone is from. And I'm from out world about seventy years ahead of their time.

Uncle Roku was here in Luceti a long time before I was, so I think they had time to get used to knowing someone from a time in their world different from them!

I see. Still, that would make things complicated.

Kinda! I'm just happy they all believed me, although since I can airbend I guess they kiiiiiiiiinda had to. Um, back when my grandpa was a kid his entire people were wiped out, so airbenders like me either had to come from way way way before them or way after.

...It's probably weird for them, but if it is they never said.

Are elemental affinities something you're born with, or are they taught?

You're born with them, but you have to learn how to use them, so kinda both?

Ah... I was referring to affinities for a specific elemental type. Were you born with the ability to use only air?

Yep! There's the air nomads, the fire nation, the water tribes, and the earth kingdom. Airbenders come from my people, firebenders from the fire nation, waterbenders from the water tribes, and earthbenders from the earth kingdom.

...Well, that's how it works in grandpa's time, but we have multicultural families now! You only ever get one bending type, though.

How interesting. No one can use more than one element at all?

[Aside from that, he had a feeling this was similar to the way the ninja of his world had developed.]

The Avatar can. That's the soul that's born into the world in a cycle! Into the air nomads, then the water tribes, then the earth kingdom, then the fire nation! He or she is responsible for keeping peace and balance in the world.

We've got three of those here, though. See, they're all reincarnated versions of one another! ...Well, I guess technically they're pre-incarnated, too, 'cause Roku was the fire nation avatar before grandpa was the air nomad avatar before Korra was the water tribe avatar.

...So would you say the three of them shared a soul?

[Is that even possible?]
