Passage

Time flows fast. One event can make the difference between childhood and adult life. Kohona's four senseis were painfully reminded of it.

For Gai, it was Lee's screams at Tenten's bloodstained dress, even though she swore she was not hurt.

For Asuma, it was Ino's heart-wrenching tears that seemly started for no reason and lasted more than a afternoon.

For Kakashi, it was the sight of Sakura's body ravaged by pain, her hands clutching her abdomen, teeth gritting and eyes swelling with unshed tears.

For Kurenai, it was Hinata's embarrassment as she tried to explain to Kiba exactly what Akamaru had found as a toy in her backpack.

As the Jounin Senseis watched their little girls pass into womanhood, they knew nothing would ever be the same.
