Mission: Defend the Leaf Village
Prologue
He sat there, puzzled, thinking about the past.

Of those who suffered, those who gave their lives…
And he didn't understand why… why they did that… why they risked their lives for others.
He thought of how he could do nothing in the time of peril, how he was unable to stop them, while others fought till death.

Of Guy and Lee, the two who shared the greatest sensei-student bond.

He got up and made his run as the events slowly came back to him once again.
