Time: Zero Hundred Hours

.

If you had to choose...

.

.

.

"Breathe..."

.

Wide eyes stared ahead.

.

"Breathe... Come on..."

.

Water and blood mixed together as it traveled down from his forehead – droplets falling from his nose.

.

"Just breathe..."

.

.

.

Between your friends...

.

.

.

His chest heaved. His lungs shuttering each time he took a breath.

.

"Breathe..."

.

His hands couldn't grip a kunai, they were shaking that badly.

.

"Come on! Breathe!"

.

.

.

And your family...

.

.

.

The rain continued to beat down on his beaten form.

.

"Breathe!"

.

"ROOOOOOOOAAAARRR!"

.

Orange chakra ripped through the field, burning debris and pushing down trees.

.

"NAARRRRRUTOOOOO!"

.

"AHHHHHHHH!"

.

Crimson flew through the air, staining the ground and water a deep red.

.

.

.

Which would you choose?

.

.

.

"I can't breathe!"

.

.

.

His eyes, wide and full of terror, could not be pulled from the scene before him.

.

.

.

Or would you let them both down?
