[Hello, Luceti! Have another accidental recording over the journal network. This time, you'll hear is two similarly shrill voices arguing over each other. A peek at the camera reveals something leafy and green...]

Somethin' wrong with your ears, buddy? I already said I'd rather race off a cliff before I'd eat one of those!!

But don't you want to be big and strong like your friend, little girl?

Uh, no? AI's don't grow up to be anything, genius. [DRAMATIC EYEROLL] Also, I don't care what you say, that stuff's nasty.

But it's good for you!

Gross is what it is! Leave me alone!!

[The camera then shifts around, only to show a flurry of pixels flickering in place! When that clears, the setting is clearly different (outdoors this time!) and a nine year old's face is peering into the journal.]

So some kid with a stupid name keeps tryin' to poison me, guys. What do I do?

Hey, anything that nasty's got to be lethal.

Insist that the person trying to feed them to you eats them.

Woah. I didn't think of that! Awesome idea!

[A small smile tugs at her lips.]

If you're lucky, they will eat all of it proving to you that it's safe to eat.

Oh snap, that's really smart. [She gives Konan a closer look.] Has anyone tried that kinda thing on you?

[Well, that's a rather unpleasant thing to tell a little girl, but Konan isn't one to shy from harsh truths. Instead, she gives a slightly toned down one.]

There are some people in my world who are experts in poisons and drugs that will try to use them against their enemies for an easy victory. So if you don't trust what the person is trying to feed you, that's one way of testing if there actually is something wrong with it.

Woah. Must be a pretty dark game if the other guys in your world keep trying to poison you just to win and stuff.

More or less. Those who want peace have to be prepared to fight for it against some very dangerous people.

[It's a way to sum things up without horrifying someone so young.]

Dangerous people, huh? Sounds like your bad guys are pretty scary. But you'll win in the end, right?

[Oh, Vanellope. She already knows that she doesn't, but perhaps Naruto will succeed where she failed.]

I hope so. If not me, there is a boy who will.

Yeah? Well, why don't the twos of ya work together and kick all their butts?

We did agree to do that...he and I live very far away from one another, though. It makes it harder to fight side by side.

Ooh... Well, can't ya visit each other sometimes? Ralph and I don't come from the same place neither, but I still pop over to his place when I can! Whiiich is pretty much everyday, 'less he pops over before I do.

Visiting often would be hard. It takes more than a day just to travel between his home and mine.

Man, that sucks. [She scowls.] Talk about inconvenient. I know I'd hate it if I lived that far from Ralph.

It is inconvenient, but I have faith in him.

[Naruto was tremendously talented, and above all, determined. He had both compassion and yet a fighter's spirit. If her best friend could die with a smile passing on his will for true peace to Naruto, she had to have faith in him as well.]

He and I were taught how to fight by the same person and I've witnessed his strength.
