"Thanks to you, the bridge was completely safely." Tazuna stood in front of the crowd of villagers, looking over Team Seven as they stood packed and prepared to cross the new structure. "But we will miss you very much."
"Please take care." Tsunami smiled at them, bowing her head slightly.
"Thank you for everything." Kakashi smiled and his eyes crinkled shut.
"Now, now!" Naruto grinned at Inari, who stood between his grandfather and mother, and looked up at the old man. "We'll come back for a visit again, Tazuna! Maybe I'll bring Natsumi with us next time. You'll really like her."
Inari looked down and sniffed as his eyes watered before they rose again at the blond Genin. "For sure...?"
"Huh?" Naruto blinked and looked more closely at the boy, who was struggling to hold back tears. His own eyes watered and he trembled as his emotions stirred. "Inari... you're gonna miss us, aren't you? It's alright to cry. Go ahead and cry."
"I won't cry!" Inari's nose ran slightly and his eyes nearly spilled over as he shut them tightly. "But it's alright if you cry, Naruto niichan."
"O-Oh? Is that so?" Naruto sniffed and held his years back.
Both boys trembled as they tried to contain their emotions, their noses dripping as they did.
