“In a sense yes, I could be called that even if I’m only nineteen.” Naruto pointed out with a shrug of his shoulders. “I also lost most of my right arm during the war and had it replaced with a prosthetic.” He said before realizing he might’ve already mentioned that giving a laugh. “Although sometimes I may repeat myself with things.” Naruto added as Jason wondered about learning a few things about Konoha and its history.
“Of course we have a library and as you would expect, we keep all of our history there, some history though is kept private because Konoha isn’t known for being pure. We have a history and some of it is better kept under wraps.”
“As far as work, I’d say you’d be better off as a mercenary because working alone is something you seem good at and I know plenty of people out there that would be willing to hire a gun to do dirty business for them, and I mean dirty business.”
“Although you might have to prove yourself to clients first before they hire you.”
Jason wasn’t sure about Naruto’s age but knew the guy was pretty young, around Jason’s age. So when the other said nineteen- it was younger than Jason expected but around the ages the man was juggling as options. Jason doesn’t mind the repetition, it helps his retention, so he justs nods along.
“I’m 21. I think.” Jason isn’t sure with his age, being killed and then brought back to life. His fake IDs have always made him 21 however because that makes it easier for his jobs. Especially when trying to get into bars where some gangs love to meet up. He just knows he’s hit puberty already and looks the part.
When Naruto tells him about hidden information, and things be kept under wraps...maybe what he should do is just converse with this fella, and learn as much as he can through word of mouth. But studying is never bad.
“Maybe, you can give me a run through?” This way he can study some separate stuff or know what to look for. “In exchange, I guess, I can tell you about where I come from?”
“Mercenary, huh?” Naruto wasn’t wrong, Jason has and is capable of working alone, but he has tried to redeem himself recently by working with his Outlaws...
But dirty business? What does that even mean- sure Jason isn’t like Bruce- he’ll do what Batman refuses to do, but at this rate, he might kill criminals here too. Whatever. Jason doesn’t mind. He’ll do what he’s always done, which is twist these criminal organizations to his own gain and make sure they aren’t going anywhere near children. Or forcing themselves onto people.
“How should I be proving myself to these people who want a gun, like me?”
