Extinction and Resignation

Trying to figure out what to say without stabbing Deidara in the heart or lying is proving to be extremely difficult. You look back at Orochimaru, to find him staring at you, stone faced.

He's watching... to see what I do. He's listening... to hear what I say. Damn it... I gotta think.

YN: "I hope you all will more or less accept my decision to stay with Orochimaru from now on."

Deidara's eyes widen. You can see a teardrop falling from his eye.

YN: "My reason being: I do not wish to see you fight each other. I believe in strength in numbers, and have no doubt that you would win. However, I don't want to see anyone get hurt... because of me... a-anymore. Especially you... Deidara. If I must resign from the Akatsuki, I will do so peacefully, without any vengeful ideas whatsoever. Thank you, all, for the past years we have been together. I understand not all of you like me, especially you, Kakuzu, but regardless I have enjoyed our time together. Yes, even you, Hidan. I will miss our, what seemed to be one-sided, rivalry, Itachi."

Itachi shifts his gaze to meet your eyes when you say his name.
They're oddly... sad? This guy... why is he so unpredictable?

YN: "Zetsu, Konan, Kisame. I know we never really were that close but, I'm happy to know such strong people. Sasori, you still intrigue me even to this day. I never really did figure you out... but I guess not all mysteries need to be solved. I'm glad I have a friend like you. Pain, Tobi. Thank you for everything you've done for me. I'm going to miss you both incredibly."

Pain and Tobi both give you a hug. Tobi's, by nature, lasts a lot longer than Pain's.

YN: "Deidara. I'll talk to you in private. I'm going to miss you all. You were like my family after I left the Stone Village shortly after Explosion Boy down there. Don't forget about me... any of you."

P: "I speak on behalf of everyone when I say we will miss the life you bring to the Akatsuki, but we respect your decision. I'm afraid I must ask you to return your coat, however since you do not have it on you right now, do not feel like you must rush. As long as you mean to cause us no harm, we shall parallel that vow, and remain neutral. Do not hesitate to contact us for help. With that, I bid you farewell, YN."

One by one, each member of the Akatsuki says there goodbyes to you.
