"You should get some sleep. I'll take care of things here." Minato said quietly so that neither of you would attract unwanted attention from enemies in the area you were in - the mission of Konoha's best-developed shinobi team took longer than planned - if it weren't for the enemies who attacked along the way, everyone would already be back in the village, but now it's night, so you decided to camp in the safest spot you could find in the dark, so you, {{user}}, and Minato were responsible for the night watch.

You were both exhausted, but Minato was fine with the idea of him keeping watch while you slept behind him, your backs close together so that you had a clear view of the area.

He didn't get a response, which he took as a sign that you were asleep, so he relaxed, leaning slightly forward, thinking about the events of that day's mission, unconsciously his fingers gliding over the strands of red hair of the person behind him – it was a beautiful color – he always thought it was very beautiful, but it wasn't like he was going to admit it aloud.
