I see. A condition of your world. I had hoped it was something I could learn, to lessen any future burdens I may lay upon you or others. Since that doesn't seem to be the case, I will continue to search.
There was talk of examinations. Relating to any potential harm done from the negotiations with that orb. There is at least one medically inclined person among us, should you be wary of the AI.

I will see to my own needs. Thank you.

Regardless of it being a dream, I appreciate that you showed kindness to the boy we saw there.
（ it isn't grudgingly given — it's more that this is an avenue of conversation he is badly out of practice with. itachi excelled in many areas in his life, yet none of which related directly to an ability to speak plainly with others. ）
[good for you for using text so Blue CAN'T perceive any more perceptively]
Regardless of how they were conjured, dreams are pieces of ourselves, and should be treated with dignity and care whenever possible. And given the unusual nature of how that space was constructed, it would've been dangerous to dismiss or harm even a figment.
（ this is some reverse uno style deflection and he doesn't like that either thank. but thank the weirdly appropriated gods of the narutoverse that blue gives him something else to seize on that's not just unnecessary examination of his Feelings. ）
How did this dreamscape differ, to your perceptions?
That in-between space. Did you experience it? Like standing in darkness, with a glassy surface beneath one's feet. That sort of thing...that was new to me.
Yes, but it was far more literal a manifestation than I've experienced before... I assume it is because so many of the minds were human, but there are aspects to this I don't understand simply out of ignorance to magic or other properties.
True enough, though it does limit how much help I can offer on these missions. If I were allowed to try and engage with the mind or entity within that orb I could perhaps be able to learn something...

It requires chakra, a spiritual energy native to those of my world. Without it, none of the techniques I utilize can be learned by others.
