The anbu teammates lie in the hospital, recovering from their injuries. While in the hokage building…

Kakashi: tsuande-sama, what happened?

Tsunade: she should tell you this herself. I’m going to need another team who will go on missions with her. tsk, how troublesome.  Shizune, we will need to go visit the hospital to tell them to be silent about this matter.

Kakashi: is it that serious?

Tsunade: she’s an excellent ninja, but she has her weaknesses.

Kakashi knocks onto ritsu’s door.

Ritsu; who’s that?

Kakashi: me, Kakashi. I bought sake for you.

Ritsu opens the door for him and lets him in. Kakashi enters the house and sees tamazuki sitting at one end of the table.

Tamazuki: Kakashi, good to see you here.

Kakashi stands on the other end of the table.

Tamazuki: so I heard you became the kugime clan’s head.

Ritsu: was the head. I passed the position to kurui.

Tamazuki: I see. Can I ask you one question ritsu?

Ritsu: yes?

Tamazuki: would you be back to my side?

Ritsu walks to kakashi’s side and hugs his left arm.

Ritsu: I’m sorry.

Tamazuki: why? Is it because I’m handicapped?! Is it because I can’t fight alongside you anymore?!

Tamazuki pushes the door and wheels himself out in anger. He was so angry that he forgot he had to go down stairs and with his wheelchair, he rolls down and lands with a loud thud. Ritsu and Kakashi goes out to see him. Ritsu walks down the stairs wanting to help him up the wheelchair.

Tamazuki: I don’t need your pity!

He struggles to get on the wheelchair by himself and wheels himself away. Ritsu walks past Kakashi and back into her house. She takes the sake on the table and returns it to Kakashi.

Ritsu: here.[passes the sake] I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have used you like that.

Kakashi: what are you talking about? We promised to be together.

Ritsu: I’m sorry, I was just being selfish, making you promise me that you would me by side. I just wanted someone to protect me. Now I know, I shouldn’t use your love to me like that. I’ve thought it over, we don’t belong together.

Ritsu slams the door in his face.  Kakashi leaves. Ritsu squats at the door. She cries silently.
