"They're gonna attack again!" Shikamaru was walking nervously, smoking his cigarette.

"Let them come." Naruto answered. He was sitting on the concrete floor. The walls were cracked, it was dark and the place smelled like filth. We were staying in the ruins of the lost city in the land of the wind. I could hear the cries of the wounded from the far, babies softly sobbing in the arms of their parents, ninja medics running around trying to save as many prople as possible. Everyone was exhausted and hopeless.

"You don't have to act all reckless, you idiot! You're out of chakra yourself!" Shikamaru yelled at Naruto. Lord seventh softly smiling.

"You know me..."
"We have to get everyone to safety before they attack again. " said Sasuke. He was looking through the window, being as quiet as always.

"You're right. We lost too many people."  At that moment i could swear i saw tears rolling down Narutos face. Then he smiled again. "I might know a place where we can keep our people safe. It's a small village in the woods. It'll take us one day to get there but I'm sure we'll be safe there before we get our strength back! " being optimistic as always.

He was hurt badly, but wouldn't let anyone heal him until they helped the others.  He's so stubborn.
I could feel his pain only by looking at him, blood running on his strong muscles, scratches and bruises on his beautiful face. Sure, he was gonna heal fast but the scene was terrifying for me. As he looked at me I realized that i was staring. I left the room quietly and went outside.
It was calm. The full moon was as bright as ever. The soft breeze felt so soothing on my skin.
I closed my eyes and let my hair sway with the wind.

"It's a beautiful view"  I heard a familiar voice. The seventh Hokage, Naruto Uzumaki was standing next to me smiling. My heart almost stopped. I looked away and covered my face with the mask."Your arm is bleeding" he sounded concerned. I covered my wound with my hand.

"It's just a scratch but you.."
"Huh?"
"I'm sorry for speaking impolitely but Lord, you should let Sakura heal you. "
"And what's so impolite in your words? " he smiled.
"Well i was going to say that you are acting reckless and stupid, Lord Seventh. "  I regret speaking those words.  I'm so stupid!
"I appreciate the honesty. Um.. " it was getting really awkward between us. "I'm sorry I don't even know your name."
"It's Akari, Lord."
"Alright Akari, make sure to get some rest tonight."

I nodded, he rushed back inside to talk to Sasuke. My heart was pounding like a drum. Did I really call him stupid?! Gosh, I'm an idiot!
