Naruto's POV: "My senses feel...alive. My ears can hear the crashing of the water that's falling fast against the rocks 100 feet below, so powerful. The various scents that I'm picking up here are all full of life; the blossoms of the cherry trees are delicate, while the freshwater spray on the breeze is like waking up after a spring rain, fresh. This cool breeze is gentle, gracing my skin, ruffling my hair and the leaves on the trees below. Although the wind is cool, I am warmed by the morning sun's rays as they slowly rise above all, tickling my skin, which gives rise to some goosebumps, but it also brings the Lillies in my hidden garden to life. My eyes stick to this picture-perfect image of the land I live within. I wish it were always this beautiful, but if you dive in deeper to the inhabitants and the destruction they caused and can do, it's disturbing to think about." I shudder at the thought before returning to the spectacle before me.

"This place once was not lovely; there raged a great battle between two rivals, once best friends, a long time ago. I am enduring a battle, two actually." I smirk as the wind blew harder when I mentioned the battle that wreck havoc to these lands.

"I choose this, land of the first war, to be the end of both of mine. I have fought another battle here before, one against Sasuke Uchiha, my childhood best friend who I thought was never going to leave me as he promised, but I understand why. I don't blame him at all; it was my fault anyhow...I did kiss him in front of the whole class on the first day of school, among other things." I shake my head to rid myself of old memories to continue with my quest to finish this story.
