Send ‘NAME’ for a starter where soulmates have each others names written somewhere on their body. //because I’m such a sucker for these things. -Madarasthicc
Honestly at this point Jiraiya had to just roll with the punches. He didn’t have the strength to fight it otherwise. The black marks spelled a clear path, one he couldn’t really jump off of.
It’s said that depending on the location of the name on the person’s body defined the kind of relationship they would have. An old wives tale of sorts. The neck was intimacy. The arms was affection. Anything on the nether regions meant a passionate love. The heart meant a connection deep and unbreakable. Silly… all soulmates are intended to have a deep meaningful relationship.
So here he is now. His life’s path treated as both an omen and hope he is the key to peace. Jiraiya spent most of it waiting… just waiting. People tried to convince him it was a great honour, but it didn’t feel like one. He felt more like their lamb to slaughter than apart of what was happening. He couldn’t do a lot of things. If he died it would put one hell of a wrinkle in their plans.
Madara Uchiha runs off of sheer spite it seems at this point. Jiraiya wasn’t particularly fond of the man based on reputation. He hadn’t had the pleasure of any sort of meeting since the Uchiha was rather cautious of who got close.
But he showed up of his own volition, let himself get roughly escorted and presented to the other man. A single rough tug of his clothing revealed his pectoral where a black scroll of letters spelled out his fate is tied with the rather ruthless leader. He didn’t really react much, honestly if his neck was snapped he wouldn’t care. Honestly he was glad he left when he did before he could be bartered like a pig on market for those thoughtless cowards.
“Congratulations, Master Uchiha. You got me as your other… Do whatever you want with me.” He said low and eventually.
