Kakashi's Team Seven is made up of three very different people. Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura. An Avenger, a demon, and a nobody- respectively.

Yes, they're different, but there in one truth that Team Seven lives by, one trait that they all share, right down to their blood and bones and the deepest corners of their mind.
Determination.

Naruto, who declares his dreams loudly, and always follows through even if it kills him. He'll tear down any enemy, scale any wall, do whatever it takes to prove himself. His is a mule stubbornness, the knuckle headed drive that never slows nor wears away. That is Naruto's determination.

Sakura's own resolve is quieter, more subtle. She strives to heal and save as many people as she can. She's in this to prove that girls are useful and powerful in a shinobi's world. Her drive, instead of a fuel is a flame- it shrinks and dims and grows and devours in the heat of the moment.

Finally, Sasuke's resolution stems from something darker- his purpose was assigned to him. He will play and move forward ruthlessly, towards a goal he centers his world on- with no thought or care towards those his actions effect. The Avenger's will takes the form of a double edged sword.

Yes, Kakashi's team Seven is made up of three polar opposites. They will fight and swear and curse and tear each other apart, becoming closer with each blow.

And finally, when three become two, and Kakashi closes weary eyes swearing he's too old for this, Naruto and Sakura will share a single long look, before staring at the horizon and calling upon the determination needed to get through this ordeal and make two become three again.

Miles away Sasuke closes his eyes against dawn, feeling the blade of the double edged katana lodge somewhere in his chest, too close to his heart for comfort. He keeps walking, and doesn't look back.


Well, I'd say that was odd and kinda ansgty. I generally dislike Team Seven in the early anime, but they get better- I suppose.
So, did any of that make sense? Do tell.
