The wind blew through the leaves in the trees and the fresh grass. It carried the fresh scent of spring as the breeze approached and ruffled the Uchiha's hair. He rested under the oak, his remaining arm behind his head and a book lying in his lap. The sun setting was a nearly magnificent and calming sight to be seen from over the village.

Sasuke sighed as he looked over the village, then up towards the sky. His voice was rough as usual, yet a bit softer than expected.

"I need a break..." He simply murmured.
