"I think we both do believe that." Kakashi had given his life up out of that belief, that the information could be used by those who were still fighting, and the one who had yet to arrive. He'd seen enough, watching the ninja there grow and mature, to have faith in them. In that aspect, at least, he'd been able to make his choice with no regrets.
He was ultimately as eager to move away from the sorrowing talk as Jiraiya was, particularly since he was still adjusting to the idea that he was dead. Eventually, Kakashi knew he would accept it, just as Jiraiya proclaimed to be doing. For now, however, it was nice not to think about it so much.
Jiraiya's analysis of the younger ninja's actions matched with what Kakashi expected to have happen. Those would certainly be the best results, particularly if they carried over to when everyone returned to Konoha. So, he'd have to watch, and make sure that was what ultimately happened.
"Sai said I'd been here too." Kakashi motioned to the bulletin, then shrugged. "But I don't remember anything from it either. Three times means it probably isn't a coincidence." Of course, that only raised more questions, particularly ones about how such a thing was even possible. Lacking memory of it, Kakashi could pinpoint certain times when it could have happened: while he was in the coma thanks to Uchiha Itachi, for example. But to the best of his knowledge, neither Naruto nor Sakura had had extended periods of that nature.
Sakura retaining her strength was an interesting factor. Renamon had mentioned chakra being unreachable, and Kakashi was about to mention the blindness in his left eye when suddenly the sannin's focus was obviously elsewhere. It wouldn't have bothered Kakashi too much for the man to leave, now that he had a book. But since he had stayed, the jounin was going to point out the interesting points of the elder's reaction, because there had been a few.
"That's rather restrained of you, Jiraiya-sama." Really, the fact that Jiraiya had opted to talk to Kakashi instead of peeking into the women's showers was restrained. But Kakashi knew the elder well enough to note the rather obvious difference in his attitude then, as opposed to how he normally acted.
For one, he wasn't currently finding a tissue because the man's nose wasn't bleeding. For another, he was stuttering like some shy schoolboy.
Since most of the serious talk seemed to be over, Kakashi yet again opened his book, going right to the page he'd left off on. He began to read, practiced enough to be able to do so without skipping a beat in his conversation. "Does that mean you won't be writing anything while we're here? You might not want her to think you were a perverted old man, or something like that."
