Tazuna let out a sigh, stretching his arms above his head, moaning in bliss releasing the tight feeling in his neck, arms, and back.

"Whew! Well I'm all sweaty, and real worn out from all of the work on the bridge today, but construction is almost complete!" Tazuna softly cheered, chuckling to himself.

"Father, you and Naruto are two of a kind. Please don't work yourself to death!" Tsunami begged scolding her father for making her worried.

Naruto let out a small "ooooh" of pain from overworking himself, still tired from his nap. While Tazuna just gave her a 'Yep.' While not really paying attention.

Naruto kept moaning finally feeling the after effects of over doing it. His muscles ached, his body was sore, he just felt so tired. Kira let out a small sigh shaking her head. Across the table Inari looked sad, on the verge of crying actually.

Naruto looked up staring at him confused. "Whats wrong?" He asked making the whole table stop and stare.

Inari was crying but he looked so mad. "WHY DO YOU WEAR YOURSELF OUT TRYING? NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU TRAIN, YOU'LL NEVER BE A MATCH FOR GATO'S THUGS! YOU ACT ALL COOL, AND YOU TALK TOUGH BUT BUG STRONG GUYS LIKE THAT ARE ALWAYS TOO MUCH FOR PEOPLE WEAKER THAN THEY ARE. THEY'LL DESTROY YOU!" Inari screamed slamming his hands on the table glaring hatefully at Naruto like it was his fault his father died.

"Shut up! I'm not you and I'm not going to lose!" Naruto growled out.

"JUST WATCHING YOU TICKS ME OFF! YOU GO RUNNING YOUR MOUTH WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW A THING! THIS ISN'T YOUR TOWN! AND YOU DON'T KNOW A THING ABOUT ME. YOU'RE ALWAYS CLOWNING AROUND AND HAVING FUN. YOU DON'T KNOW A THING ABOUT SUFFERING OF LONELINESS OR WHAT MY LIFE IS LIKE!"

Kira gasped clutching Naruto's hand, he just pulled away from her. Anger setting in his system, "So you figure it's noble to star in a melodrama and treat everyone around you like guests at your pity party?" Inari looked shocked and confused. "It takes a really big man to sit around and cry you brat! You big baby!"

"Naru," Kira called watching him get up and walk away. Sakura glared at Naruto annoyed. "Naruto! You went too far!"

Naruto only let out a hmmf sounds not bothering to argue. Naruto said what needed to be said. Inari ran outside crying. The room was silent as everyone glanced at one another. Kira stood from the table choosing to go after Inari.

Sasuke growled standing from the table storming after Naruto. He was so mad at that idiot, all Kira wanted to do was make him feel better, everyone knows she's the only one who would want to make him feel better.

Naruto completely took advantage of her and brushes her aside when she's trying to comfort him?! He couldn't believe it. Sasuke was going out of his way to make Naruto happy, Kira better thank him later.

Kira found Inari staring at the ocean hugging his knee's to his chest, sniffling to himself.

She frowned walking over to him. "You okay if I join you?" Inari didn't speak as she sat herself beside him, watching the waves lap at one another.

The cool night breeze blew through their hair, wrapping them in a cool blanket. "I know you're upset...and I know you're mad at Naruto but listen he isn't that bad of a guy. He doesn't know how to word things, sometimes he makes it worse by trying to make it better." Kira sighed staring up at the bright moon.

"You two are a lot alike." Inari scoffed glaring at the water hatefully. "No it's true, you're both a bit bratty." Inari glared at the smiling Kira. "Relax it's a compliment, but you're wrong about Naruto. He knows very well what it's like to be lonely and how bad it could be for you." Kira frowned thinking back to when she first met Naruto.
