Good enough. In some ways, Sasuke might have wished that Kakashi had simply told Jiraiya the truth; that way Sasuke wouldn't have to go through it himself, could simply move straight to questioning. But he had asked for it to be kept quiet -- and it wasn't as if he couldn't handle simply telling the truth.

Wasn't as if Jiraiya shouldn't know it. As if any Konoha-nin shouldn't know the lies the village had been telling for so many years.

But at the same time -- despite himself, Sasuke knew the people here too well. Nothing good could come of telling Naruto and Sakura before Sasuke had decided on his next course of action himself; Kakashi might have been capable of stepping back, might have actually acknowledged that the choice to be made was no business of his, but the other two ...

So first of all -- "Is it at all possible for you to give me your word that you won't discuss what we speak of here with the others?" He asked, tone still short and emotionless. The further he could divorce himself from this, right now -- just information gathering from a technical enemy, someone who had no love lost for Sasuke nor vice versa -- the better. "I don't want Naruto, or Sakura, or any of them to know before I can decide whether they should."
