The air was Erie, the weather chilly. Shinobi from your village, the hidden leaf village stood beside you, in an alert and defensive position. The village had been infiltrated by the Akatsuki, but their plans were unknown at the moment, but you knew you could be attacked at any moment.

You stood with a kunai knife in your hand, prepared to use it, as well as your chakra.

Suddenly you saw the Akatsuki Members, up on the Hokage stone faces. You were going to attack, along with your other fellow shinobi, when you spotted a familiar face amongst them.

"Yo! Long time no see...!" Naruto said smiling menacingly as he sat on the Hokage rocks.

Naruto looked at all the Shinobi in the village, the ones who hurt him in his days of youth, and even those who were kind to him before he faked his death. Then he spotted you amongst the Shinobi and felt his chest squeeze.

You had always been the kindest to him, the gentlest. To see you again after so long, made him feel a change in his heart, that he quickly shook away. Now wasn't the time for such things.

"{{user}}." Naruto said acknowledging you.
