...perhaps I miss the old routine a bit much. This new one, while nice and cozy, makes only for a decent vacation. Yes, even despite the odd happenstances here and there. It is too...boring.

[He pauses. He's complaining. And he realizes he's turned the communicator without much thinking about it. He was past due for an update anyway, before he discovered for himself just what sort of energy the device packed, and had been thinking about it before he started in on the complaints of this place. Ah well.]

Boring. Listen to me--complaining like some sort of youngster who has nothing better than to get into trouble every day. I converse much too often with giovani here and start to reminiscence on my old lifestyle as if I could get away with what I used to.

[He sighs.] I am getting old. When you start saying 'I'm getting too old for this' it is well past time you are too old for...things.

...Ugh. Now I'm using circular arguments and boring unto death those silly enough to listen to these devices.

People. My purpose here is people, as it was in my world. I just.. can't really fulfill that purpose until I'm healed again. Which is frustrating, to say the least.

Actions to preform to keep up a routine that gets one through life and having a purpose that keeps one on said routine are not the same for me, Minato. I can understand the need--the desire--to help others and keep them safe from harm. I have always felt this drive...

But it is not the same as what I once had.

It is not the same as I once had, either... I've gone from being the leader of an entire village to an teacher of a few handfuls. Still, it's nice to be alive.

But it cannot replace my wife and son, even now.

Do you really think my family is the only thing missing?

... No. But I suppose it's the biggest thing on my own mind. What I miss most.

...It is what I miss most. But it is not the only thing missing that keeps me from feeling as though my purpose is gone.
