Death.

It's everything he's been through.. everything he's experienced and witnessed. 

It's all been rooted in his mind. Sometimes in random times of the day, it'll all come back at once and he'll get tempted to grab a kunai and just.. but at the same time it's some of the many things he can tolerate.

The nightmares get worse everyday. He can't forget his friends, his comrades, his people. He has seen it all happen right before his eyes.. He remembers very clearly how much, how badly he tried to help, but only led to things going worse.

But those reminders have been so constant that it's become normal.

He's getting tired of that.

Maybe ending himself can get him the rest he needs. He'll be able to forget and he'll get the rest that he so desperately wants just to get away from everything. To finally not have to deal with the nightmares and failures.

Yeah..  That'll be when he rests. He can't wait for that.

For his death.

He'll have a sweet long slumber with no war around him. Be in a paradise where it's comfortable with no reminders of his past. Maybe Kenji will be there by his side too.

Experiencing the same peace.. in the afterlife.

Sakura is still, right above tree branches with their enemy right below. He is staying hidden along with his team in a large forest. They're all curently on a mission which is the only thing repeating over and over in his mind.

'Find out their plans and don't get caught. Find out their plans and don't get caught. Find out their plans and... don't. Die.'

His team is separated throught the forest but is still surrounding the enemy group below them. They haven't caught any vital information yet but they expect to hear something soon. Especially since this is one of the hidden spots they found out enemy allies meet up to share information.

"A bunch of lil girls at a sleepover party."

That's how his commander described them. As much as he wished to laugh he just couldn't during a war. Not that he found it funny anyway.

As they observed the enemy he sees three men all dressed up in their gear with a kunai in hand. They haven't said a word which is concerning and maybe to be expected. They probably want to prove to eachother they aren't fakes or traitors.
