（ things never live far from his memory, but he cannot say what it is that makes this specific recollection drift to the surface of his still, mirror-sheen mind. it is something jūzō told him once.
the story does not truly matter. it is about a woman in kirigakure, who had a magical donabe that allowed her to heal injuries when she fed someone from the pot. over the course of the story, the pot is stolen and he details how it changes hands when its owners die or are tricked out of it, tallying many years since it has been with its owner. in the end, a little orphan boy finds it amidst the fiery wreckage of an encampment, and finds that it heals his feet, torn and damaged from miles of walking shoeless in the cold. but the boy is kind-hearted, and returns it to the old woman after noticing her name inscribed on it. she takes him in, and he grows up to be a fine, strong shinobi.
it is a story for children. perhaps he held onto it all these years because it strikes him as something sasuke would have enjoyed.
but the telling does take time. he doesn't go so far as to use voices to differentiate characters, but his tone is sonorous and mesmerizing — likely because he is all too accustomed to genjutsu, and how it can overcome the senses. ）
