(On Hold) Retribution (Act I)

Hard Headed Resolve.

"Let me Tell you this...Boy. The Path that we walk as individuals of this world is not defined by how powerful we are...not by what us shinobi can do, create, or manifest...All you see is war, And a Ash Stricken world where there is no Heroes, and no Villains. So Why must you fight? What do you get from it, that others have already failed to do."

The Man looked around at the battlefield. Nothing but chaos, carnage, and bloodshed littered the plains that once were once Lush grasslands.

"Where there is Death, there is rebirth. the ashes of the Pheonix...are what will come of this world...and you will be apart of it...Uzumaki Naruto..."

The Blonde blinked slightly before shaking his head. He walking with his teacher, as both went silent for a moment...that is, until Kakashi decided to speak up.

"So let me get this straight...Naruto. You knew was going to happen, and that I never died but you didn't tell me?"

Naruto groaned in frustration at his Sensei. Granted, as he looked back to his teacher, he shook his head.

"Kakashi Sensei, There are just something's I just can't say. This was one of them, if I expect for how we are going at our pace now, it's deemed fit that I can't say anything, other then what I know won't change history. I will intervene in when the time is right, and for when it needs to be changed but if that never happened we would never have continued going on with our mission. This isn't the last of what we're going to see, and I'll see to it that it isn't the last, Kakashi Sensei. I know your our leader, and Jounin Sensei, but as we are we NEED to keep going."

Kakashi listened to his student as he glanced towards Satsuki, who was being healed by Sakura, and Tazuna who was watching over the pair...before looking back to Naruto with a glare.

"Naruto. I understand why your acting like this but you got to understand, if this mission is going to become an A Ranked mission, I need you to be on guard, and honest with me right here and now...tell me, the truth...please."

Kakashi had a stern, yet low tone in his voice. He was worried for the boy Infront of him, and for the future. If he needed, he would pull his squad out of danger.

"Fine, Fine...this stays between us. There will be a challenge coming up that...we both need to participate in...I can't say who it is, but trust me Kakashi-Sensei...don't kill them."

Kakashi stared at the boy...perplexed but, he slowly nodded and put a hand on the boys head.

"Alright Naruto...i'll trust you....I...will trust in you."

A Little before this interaction between the Two Males,  Satsuki and Sakura both looked at one another as they stared across the road that had been forged into a battle. The Dead men now perched against a tree, as Tazuna...well, Tazuna was vomiting up his last Sake. 

"Eugh...Men." Satsuki commented out loud. Much, to the displeasure of Sakura who put a hand on her friends shoulder.

"Satsuki, You'll see that more often then naught. I Mean after experiencing it many times myself after being trained into the ground by Naruto and Kakashi-Sensei, i think that is nothing...But how are you doing?"

Satsuki shrugged Sakura's hand off her shoulder, Before going over to a stump and sitting down. She, scoffing slightly as the Ravenette simply sighed. "Y'know its a rather...hard, thing to think about. I Mean, Thing about it this way Satsuki..."

Satsuki slightly turned to Sakura, as the Uchiha girl raised a brow. Although she was confused at what Sakura was trying to get at, she noticed the Pinkette pick up a Kunai. The same one Naruto had used prior.

"Naruto...OUR Naruto...is not the same Naruto we knew. He has..most likely suffered through alot and, he needs us. Although i don't...Like him, He has proven that he isn't the same knuckle headed dead last. Infact, i consider him a friend now. Something i never would have...but he proved that he wasn't the same one time and time again. Now...Look at it this Kunai here."
