Well, she's been a student of yours. Of both of ours really. She recently made an offer of sorts to teach a genjutsu, and assured me she would only teach it to those with good chakra control.
[ There's something particularly difficult about watching Sasuke revert back to this after they've been building such a strong foundation. She's happy, he's happy, and suddenly he's back to being a broody asshole. ]
If anyone else in the village had done what I've done—killed the innocent, attempted to murder you and Naruto—would you have been so quick to forgive them of all their wrong doings?
It's not hypocritical to fight for what you love! But fine, I'll admit I've got a bit of a blindspot when it comes to you. But I also knew you and I knew you'd stop all of...this. So maybe if I had a better picture of others I've killed than I would have offered them the benefit of the doubt.
[ He ignores the thanks as he goes to look through the post. There's a pause when he sees he's already talked to Sansa, a frown forming because he doesn't remember the exchange at all. He focuses back on the feed with Sakura a second later. ]
[ Guilt washes over her and her eyes widen as she realizes how mean that comes across. She's never wanted to be mean to him. Sure, she's snapped at him a couple of times, but only ever out of desperation.
She stares blankly at the screen, wondering why this is irritating her so much. Then it hits her, they've moved past this, and he's been safe enough that she can challenge him now. She feels ashamed, yelling at him like that when it's not his fault. It just brings up so much painful stuff for her and on top of everything, she's angry at the situation. She doesn't want to take it out on him though, not her husband. She wants to be a dutiful and supportive wife. ]
[ While it doesn't take much to make Sasuke go quiet, it does take quite a bit to make him look surprised. He stares at the feed for a while, not sure what say, watching as she processes her own words, and noting the apology that comes afterward.
His jaw tenses slightly. Maybe he had a bit of an egocentric streak going, it was something he was at least starting to become aware of after nearly dying on the rock with Naruto, but he hadn't accepted it yet. Not the way he had after his redemption mission. It was hard to let go of after 11 years of bad habits.
So he lets out a small huff through his nose, looking almost embarrassed by the callout. ]

It's fine. You're... stressed. Maybe I should go.
