Y/n pov
Watching these guys build a bridge is such hard work I might fall asleep
Y/n:(yawn)
Tazuna: you always this lazy
Y/n: only when im watching instead of doing
Tazuna: were's that blond girl and the one with the attitude
Y/n: training
Tazuna: to tough for you
Y/n: nope that why im here watching you
Tazuna: your joking right
Y/n: well I can always switch with one of them I didn't mind training
Tazuna:...nevermind
Y/n: thought so
Then another worker walked up to him
???: tazuna, I need to talk to you
Tazuna: huh, what about
???: thing is, I've been thinking a lot about the bridge and I've decided I've pushed my luck too far, I want out
Tazuna: now your just going to quit on me, just like that!? Your kidding!
???: you know, I stayed on because of our friendship. But I'm putting my life on the line every day I stay here. Gato and his thugs. Show up eventually.
Tazuna: (scoffs)
???: when they do they'll kill you then the bridge will never get finished anyway it's a lost cause tazuna, why don't we stop now while we still can
Y/n:...
Tazuna:... No chance. This is our Bridge. Our island is poor, and it will stay that way until this bridge connects us to the mainland. Commerce, trade, and Hope, that's what we're building here
???: there not going to be much hope of we're all dead
Tazuna: it's already noon, let's call in for chow
???: tazuna let's not end it like this
Tazuna: save your breath, oh and giichi, don't bother coming back after lunch
I got up and followed him as he told everyone to take a break
Y/n: you sure you don't wanna try to convince him to change his mind
Tazuna: i can't he's scared, a lot of these guys are but the difference between them and him. They see the bigger picture
Y/n: make sense
I followed him to a shopping district looking for dinner and as we walked the people seemed like they had already given up
Y/n:...
We made it to the store as there was barely anything to sell. I guess in this place food is like gold
Y/n: (this place is more like an abandoned restaurant than a store, more and more I see why that bridge is needed)
Out the corner of my eye, some guy tried to take my wallet so I hit him with the backhand of my fist
Tazuna: wow, you surprised me
Y/n: what kinda ninja would I be if I just let someone steal from me
Tazuna bought his food and we started heading back to his house until I felt someone tug on my pants leg and saw a little boy Dressed in rags
???: please
Y/n: sure hang on a sec
I grabbed some of my field provisions and have him the food
