IX.

61. Memory

Her mother's name was never carved on the black cenotaph.

62. Questioning

"So that's how the stork brings babies to the mommies, huh?"

The little boy with a toothy grin, nodded his head furiously.

"You mother lied to you, kid. You need sex to make ba-"

He was out of the building, dragged by both teammates, in 0.3 seconds flat.

63. Blood

There had been too much.

It was drowning him deep.

Eternal red tears.

64. Mother Nature

For a girl who never experienced camping in the woods surrounding the village before, she took peeing in the bushes much more... comfortably than he expected.

65. Gray

"Nothing has changed. The sky is still blue. Ramen is still good. And even until the end, it's going to be me trailing after your wrinkled ass. Isn't it, teme?"

Silence.

"It's so unfair..."

66. Illusion

He used Tsukuyomi on her. For some reason, she was keeping a few details out of her report following the attack. When Hinata quietly pointed it out, she blushed.

67. Triangle

There are always three sides to every love story. There's his side, there's her side, and there's everybody else's around them. It's just a matter of perspectives.

68. Can You Hear Me?

His soul was singing with her head on his chest.

69. Test

"Ah, man..."

70. Rejection

His secret fear.

71. Sacrifice

He had given up his first child for the village.

72. Sorrow

For his second born, he instilled the clan legacy.

73. Happiness

The last child came as a late surprise. His third was his own.

74. Playing the Melody

No one knew he was a very skilled musician. He made her reach octaves no one ever knew was possible.

75. Magic

"Hey kids, wanna see me pull a toad out of nowhere?"

76. Kick in the Head

Is the path to enlightenment. She'll make sure to always use it on him.

77. Solitude

She would sometimes acquiesce to his request and leave him alone. She understood his need for it.

78. Puzzle

He was a conundrum of things that she loves and hates.

79. Traps

He wasn't sure when or how long but he had already fallen.

80. No Way Out

"You're just not thinking straight!"
