the word "async" was in. the backrooms of all places. so then i was thinking about it today
if i were a normal and sane person, the story would just wrap up after minato and tori get together. but i'm not that type of person!!!!
so i think tori is still trekking across the continent feeling mad about ninja wars and not having a permanent home. minato would be very happy to let her live with him in konoha but she's like. a ninja village? no. no!!! but this is not an argument minato really understands bc konoha is better than everywhere else, didn't you know
tori, trying to find a new angle: but i have killed just, like, so many konoha-nin. i can't move there and expect to be safe
minato: ten murders is like barely anything--
but then i think she decides konoha is trying to literally work minato to death and her decision making process is: it's probably danzo -> we can just get rid of him -> oh my boyfriend doesn't believe me? -> how can i prove i'm right -> i have to go get hanzo
tori: i'll just take down rain
minato: what are you even talking about
tori: no, shh, hold my purse
and her explanation is "yeah i was living there a while, i figured out what strings to pull to make it blow up" and minato is like hmm yeah maybe you shouldn't ever set foot in konoha...............
