"Are you all finished?" Karin asked.

"Yes, I am!" Lee answered. The others nodded and began to get up.

"Let us finish viewing the pictures and find out more about our future." Tenten said.

Naruto nodded. He was more than a little excited to see if he achieved his goal of becoming Hokage. 𝘈𝘯𝘥, he glanced at Sasuke, 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘐 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘩𝘪𝘮 𝘵𝘰 𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘒𝘰𝘯𝘰𝘩𝘢?

Sasuke must have noticed him looking at him becouse he cought Naruto's eye. They held eye contact a little longer before the others started walking.

"Sasuke?" Naruto asked.

Sasuke acknowledged him with a "hm". He had been quiet since he arrived at this place. His thoughts went to Karin, Lee and Suigetsu. He remembered that Lee was full of energy. Normally, he would be loud and annoying, and Naruto tends to get on his nerves, too, but since they arrived at this place, they hadn't spoken much. Karin and Suigetsu didn't fight, and Karin didn't actively try to be close to him. He suspected that this place had a calming effect on them.

"What.. what is it that you did before we came here? How.. how are you?"

Sasuke stopped walking suddenly. His thoughts turned to Itachi and his fight with the jinchuuriki of the eight tails. He hadn't thought of his feelings of the events. His goal of destroying Konoha. His failure of obtaining the jinchuuriki. He clenched his hands. Feeling anger surging through him and... The hatred slipped and turned into sadness. He felt a sting in his eyes. He bowed his head, not wanting to show his eyes.

Naruto frowned. He carefully placed a hand on Sasuke's shoulder. His eyes widened when he felt a little of his own warm chakra slip for a second. Sasuke must have noticed it too because his tense posture relaxed slightly.

Karin looked over her shoulder to the boys' direction. They hung back and Naruto spoke to quietly to Sasuke for anyone without their chakra to hear. She could feel the chakra from all of the people in the room flowing through their chakra system. She could've sworn she felt chakra outside of the system just now and Sasuke's chakra, which was spiking a few seconds ago, calm. The chakra felt warm and bright and she knew it came from the blonde haired teen.

"Woah, when did that happen?" Choji said.

"There isn't the usual caption. Why's that?" Suigetsu asked.

"I don't think we need to know the things that the pictures are usually captioned with, we know Naruto's age and Jinchuuriki status." Neji said.

"We know the text at the bottom or beside the picture or painting will help us with possible confusion we have. I think the reason that it just says 'painting', is because we should know that won't happen as it is shown."

"So I won't look as badass as in the picture?" Naruto whined jokingly.

Sasuke let a tiny smile slip. With the anger dispatching since arriving here, he could enjoy these moments before they had to leave.
