Batman smirked behind his cowl, "Because I trust you....and I hope you will trust me in return. After all, I already know your name, as well as your teammates and sensei. Believe it or not I was trained by what my world considers ninjas...though they aren't chakra-users and rely on stealth and weapons instead. They don't wear the kind of varying outfits you all do either, they strictly wear black masks and black armor...sort of a stereotypical ninja garb. Ninja are only known to be more than a myth where I come from, to a few."<br/><br/>Bruce nodded, "You're sharp in deducing that...but you also remind me of my second apprentice and adopted son..his name was Jason...despite all my best efforts I couldn't save him...for a long time I felt like a failure....I have his uniform hanging in my base...out in the open...where I have to look at it and remind myself to never let it happen again."<br/><br/>Batman nodded at Sasuke's decision to help him, "Good to know. Now how far is your village?"
