Satori sprinted through the streets of Konoha. He ducked and weaved around people. Moments later he reached the door to his house. He opened the door and walked inside. No one was home at the moment not that he really cared if any one was. He ran up to his room. He took off his sai belt and tossed it on his bed. He then looked to the dresser next to his bed and saw the Team 4 picture that was taken a few days after he and the others became Genin. Satori turned away from the picture. He put his hands on top of his head and interlocked his fingers. He casually strolled around the room thinking about the guy who was replacing Arihiro. He walked over to his window and peered out through the glass. He opened the window and stepped out onto his roof. He sat down next to his window and looked across the rooftops. He lied down onto his back and stared at the sky. Moments later, he heard his name called. He sat up to see his father stick his head out the window.

"Hey, dad. What's up?"

"I was going to ask you the same thing. You usually aren't on the roof unless your hiding from your mother or something is on your mind. Since your mother isn't home, I'm guessing you have something on your mind." Genma said.

"Well, it's this new guy. Arhiro has been officially replaced and it seems like no one cares and plus this guy is a real pain. He's so full of himself." Satori said.

Genma climbed out and sat next to his son.

"Well, you see son. It's not that no one cares that Arihiro has been replaced it's just that people are getting on with their lives. Tsunade-sama wants what's best for her village and she is doing her best in doing so. She feels that putting a new person on your team is the right thing to do. She doesn't want you, Hanako and Aoba to go running around with it just being the three of you. The teams are supposed to have four members not just three."

"What about Naruto's team? They only had three members."

"The key word there is had. They now are a four man team with Sai on their team." Genma replied.

He looked over at his son who had his eyes lowered and was staring at the tiles on the roof.

"I know it's hard to lose a friend on a mission. But if it weren't for their sacrifice we might not be here talking right now."

"But dad, we didn't even kill those Akatsuki members. I know Shikamaru and the others took them out later but it feels like Arihiro died for nothing. It was my attack that killed Arihiro." Satori said with tears on the brink of falling down his face.

"I know it seems like he died for nothing but look at it this way, maybe your encounter with them had a reason. Maybe it caused them to be more tired then what they would've been if you hadn't fought them. Hell, they might've beaten Shikamaru's team if you didn't fight them."

Genma noticed that Satori was crying, silently. He put a hand on his son's back.

"Did I ever tell you that I lost two of my friends?"

Satori shook his head.

"Well, it was at the end of the war with the Rock Village. One of my friends was out with his team on a secret mission and my other was out on the front lines with me. It was shortly after I had met your mother, in fact your mother was already a month pregnant with you and your sister, which I didn't know at the time. Anyway, my one friend who was on the secret mission never came back. We never did find a body but there is a piece of him that is still around today and that is Kakashi's Sharingan left eye."

Satori's eyes widened.

"Your friend was an Uchiha?"

Genma nodded. "His name was Uchiha Obito. He was crushed under a pile of boulders; he had given his left eye to Kakashi as a gift for becoming a Jonin. While that was happening, my platoon was cornered by Rock ninjas. We were behind a hill when a few Rock ninjas came out of no where and attacked us. One came up behind me and was about to make the kill when my friend jumped in the way and took the blow. He lied there dying in my arms and with the last bit of strength he had, he informed me that Yashira was pregnant. Those were the last words he said to me." Genma concluded.

"I didn't know that." Satori said.

"Not many do. It was hard during the days after the war with these new recruits coming in. It seemed like the memory of my friends was soon to be forgotten by everybody. But they didn't forget. As you know that is what that memorial is for. And now Arihiro's name is on that memorial. I want you to do something for me. It will be tough, I know that but try to have an open mind with this new guy."

Satori hesitated for a moment but nodded.

"Good, now come on. We'll go grab something to eat, just the two of us."
