*DISCLAIMER* I don't own Naruto or any of the original characters or the story this all belongs to Masashi Kishimoto, I only own my own character. Is rated will be fixed the deeper I get into the story.

The light shined bright and the smell of food invaded Kakashi. "Sensei you're awake!" Naruto exclaims. "Are you alright sensei?" a woman with black hair approaches him. "I won't be able to move well for about a week." He says trying to sit up but he lays back down knowing he's at his limit.

"Sensei you're awake!" Naruto exclaims as he walks into the room with Tazuna and Masumi. "This girl here has magical hands," Tazuna laughs. "She was healing you as much as she could when we were bringing you here." Kakashi smiles. "Thank you Masumi." She sits down next to him, hand glowing green again over his body. "Tsunade would be ashamed if I did not do my part for the team. Your chakra was very low and I feared losing you so I slowly maintained the chakra flow in your body." Masumi stated. "Tsunade taught you well. Uzumaki and Senju blood line have a firm longevity, something my sharingan needs. All of you three carry a bloodline that has a big chakra amount." Naruto turns to look at Masumi. "Uzumaki?" His face full of shock and Masumi just laughs. "My grandmother, Mito Uzumaki, I know she was a sweet and caring lady only through small memories Tsunade would reminisce about." She explained. "Does that mean we're related?" Naruto asked. "The Uzumaki clan you should know most of the clan married into the Senju clan like my grandparents… Our clan always kept faith with the Senju clan. The odds of us being cousins is possible but very, very distant. Why do you think the symbol of your clan is running around the leaf village? It's the symbol of the undying friendship…" Masumi looks away thoughtfully. I can only ever give information of my maternal clan… I wish Tsunade would tell me who my father is… "You took down a strong ninja I don't think we'll need you for a while!" Tazuna jokingly says. "That kid with the mask… he sounded young to be an ANBU member… but then again people have become members at young ages." Masumi thinks as she finishes checking his body with the mystical palm technique. "But I'm beginning to feel like I overlooked something… I did check for a pulse but the weapon he attacked him with is too weak to kill efficiently." Kakashi sits up looking like he is retracing every step he took. "No way… this means Zabuza can still be alive." Sasuke says like a whisper and Kakashi agrees with him. "You're reading too much into it." Tazuna says. "So shouldn't we be setting up this village for protection against Zabuza if he is indeed still alive?" Masumi asks and Kakashi laughs "I'll assign you training!" They all look at him quite shocked. "But sensei.. were genin, How would be able to hold our own against him?" She asked frantically. "Masumi, when Zabuza was stepping on Sasuke who became very lethal to the point of being very close to trap Zabuza and kill him?" He asked reminding her of the rush she felt when she did that. "Me…" she replied with him asking another question. "And who freed me from the water prison?" Naruto and Sasuke look at each other. "They did…" Masumi replies. "How boring…." a little boy comes into the house and runs over to Tazuna. "Inari where've you been!" The old man asks with a wide smile on his face he hugs Tazuna tight. "Welcome back grandpa!" His mother then turned to lecture him. "Inari! These ninja brought your father back safe! You should greet them well!" Instead he just starts a staring war with them. "Their gonna die. Gato won't let them help grandpa." Naruto then turns rowdy trying to defend himself against Inari. There he goes… Masumi just makes a sour face while watching the two children fight.

"Now I'll give you the objective you need to meet for your training." Kakashi tells the trio leaning on crutches in a forest. "Now I feel at home all that's missing is the target practice logs" Masumi says taking in a breath of fresh air. "Do you all understand how chakra works?" Kakashi asks. "What does it matter we already use chakra when we use jutsu's." Sasuke dismisses his sensei's explanation. "You're wrong, you may be able to use chakra but if you need to be able to control how much you can use or you either fail at your jutsu or you use up too much chakra and over exert yourself." He explains. "What should we do then…" Naruto looks at Kakashi confused but ready to start whatever task he gives them. "You'll train, the best way to do that now is by tree-climbing. For that you will need to balance the chakra on your legs to make sure you can climb the tree, now watch." Kakashi does to a near by tree and starts to walk up all the way to where he is upside down. "Its the hardest to concentrate chakra on the bottoms of your feet, but in theory, if you are able to succeed in this you can do any jutsu you want to learn." He flings kunai at the three ninja and tells them. "Here, use this as a marking point so you can keep track of up to where you are able to climb up to on the tree." They all accept the challenge while Masumi looks at them curiously while they try their hardest to make it up the trees they chose. Naruto on one hand uses too little chakra making him fall often, Sasuke concentrates too much chakra so he makes dents on the tree making him fall. Masumi turns to a tree and flings the kunai to the middle of a branch. I believe I can make it up to there. She thinks and stretches her legs before going up. She takes slow steps in an attempt to try and measure how much chakra she is using to become used to how much she needs to use to be able to walk up. Slowly, if she uses too little her feet come out of balance but if she uses too much she can see how the chakra will start to dig a hole on the wood. She makes it all the way up now knowing how much chakra she needs to balance to be able to climb a tree. "That wasn't so hard." Masumi calls out and the team looks over to her. "Oh as expected Masumi seems to be the best at chakra control, but I knew so as she was taught the art of medical ninja!" Kakashi exclaims as Naruto looks at him confused. "Is there a reason behind that?" He asks. "Medical ninja's heal others with the control of their chakra, in a team they wouldn't be able to last long as they would faint after over exceeding their boundaries and that is quite a burden then be helpful." Kakashi explains. "That is true, I have the ability of chakra control mastered on my hands to do something as simple as the palm healing technique but I haven't trained with chakra at the bottoms of my feet, but I guessed I would just have to do what I did with my hands. Which had a cost of using chakra food pills from practicing so much." Naruto looks at her elated. "Wow Masumi, expected from the girl I set my eyes on!" Sasuke glances over to him and tsks. "I have an idea, since you two will be having to train more than I will, I'll have to gather some supplies to make some type of food pills." She says jumping down the tree.

The next morning Masumi had woken up just as Tsunami had finished making breakfast and she looked around seeing that Naruto wasn't there. "Just in time for breakfast, I found the map of the forest and all the places where the best herbs grow are circled." Tsunami handed her the map and Masumi smiled. "We're missing Naruto?" She asked. "He went out early to continue training, he took off only having eaten rice." Kakashi turned to look at her. "But I'm sure whatever you find to make will give him energy." Kakashi smiles and Masumi nods.

"These should be good to put over wounds.." Masumi cuts off an herb that was growing, "Luckily all these herbs replenish the part that was cut off." She adjusts her basket having already filled half of it. She notices Naruto sleeping on the ground quite a good way from her so she starts to walk towards him, but quickly hides when she notices someone else walking towards him and kneels down to wake him up. "Oh I'm sorry," he blushes. "I must've fallen asleep." She smiles walking over to some plants. "What are you doing in the forest so early?" She asks. "Training!" Naruto answers with excitement. "Are you a ninja? With that headband and all." Naruto could hardly contain his excitement of the acknowledgment of being a ninja. "Yeah! I need to get stronger so I'm here training." She laughs. "What do you want to get stronger for? Yourself or someone else…" Naruto looks at her confused. "Is there someone precious to you in your life?" He still looks confused. "When a person has something precious they want to protect that's when they become strong." Masumi continues to listen in, I'm guessing this is a normal person.. but by the sense of the chakra… this is not an average kid. "Someone precious… that's something I've experienced." The kid stands to walk away. "You'll become strong, I hope we meet again somewhere and by the way, I'm a boy." Naruto looks alarmed but Masumi doesn't trust that this forest can be safe so she makes a crystal clone. "Watch over him, and if anything seems suspicious let me know straight away." She talks quietly to the clone and the clone nods jumping up into the tree leaves blending right in she notices Sasuke joining him to train but she rather not get in their way.

Around dinner time they walk in, Masumi sharing the way she made the chakra food pills with Tsunami while she sets up the table. Tsunami got into a refreshing mood when trying an energizing and healing food pill. She was doing things much faster than she originally would making a grand meal. "You should start a business selling these!" Tsunami exclaimed to Masumi. "I come by the supplies rather easily being that I'll prepare enough to compensate the merchants that give me the supplies, it would be wrong of me to make money out of ingredients I get for free. I wrote down the recipes here, maybe you can make a business out of it, the ingredients I bought a while ago were quite cheap here.. or you can trade them for things you need." Masumi smiled when Sasuke and Naruto walked in. "What happened to you two?" Masumi asks and Naruto just smiles being held up by Sasuke. "Training…" Sasuke answers and Masumi walks towards them giving them each one of the food pills she made. "This isn't for energizing since we have to sleep soon, Kakashi sensei said were to start guarding Tazuna tomorrow." Tazuna nods. "There's only a tiny bit left to build so this all should be over soon." They all notice Inari begin to cry. "Why even bother you will all get killed by Gato and his gang its useless!" He shouted slamming his palms on the dinner table. "So what, you're just gonna cry like the lead in a tragedy? Go ahead and cry forever! You crybaby." Naruto exclaims leaving the table and to the room they are staying in. "Naruto shouldn't have said that… But he means well… Naruto has had it tough since he was born." Masumi turns to look at Sasuke who's gaze is down on the table she sighs looking down then over to Inari once again. "We all cope differently with pain and loss, some of us use it as a tool to be stronger… I am the guardian of those I love… my loves keeper." Masumi says standing up from the table too she walks over to the food pills she had made and takes two handing one to Inari and another to Sasuke. "A good nights rest." They both take it as Masumi walks off.

"Naruto used up too much chakra yesterday not even Masumi's Food pills can make up for what he lost so we'll leave him here so he can rest." Kakashi explains to Tsunami while the rest of the team is getting ready to set off with Tazuna. "Yes, take care." Tsunami says.

"What? What is this!" Tazuna yells when they arrive to the almost completed part of the bridge where they find workers laying on the floor unconscious, the mist starts to thicken and Kakashi commands Masumi and Sasuke to guard Tazuna. Sasuke takes out a kunai while Masumi has her hand on her bow riser gripping it, ready to pull it out and form her bow at any moment. "Sorry to keep you waiting Kakashi, with those trembling brats I see." Zabuza announces somewhere in the mist when 3 clones appear in front of them. "Trembling of excitement." Sasuke smiles Masumi knows to keep her composure on her side of Tazuna but she can't help but grin when all of Zabuza's clones are destroyed by Sasuke's agility in taijutsu. "So you taught these brats a thing or two, doesn't help in the end when they have to face Haku." Zabuza says appearing with the boy who had impersonated a hidden mist tracker. Haku then tries to attack Sasuke with Masumi looking over but she knows better, she and Sasuke have trained together numerous times so she isn't worried but she knows her place is much safe sticking close to Tazuna. "Tazuna-san, Its better you stay close to me, I know I've only briefly showed my skill as a ninja when we fought Zabuza before." Masumi is cut off by Kakashi. "But if there is anyone among us that can protect you better its Masumi." She nods at her Sensei and notices how Haku and Sasuke are matched in speed. Though Haku makes a remark that Masumi can't hear from the distance shes from the two. Then she notices Haku make a one handed seal. A kekkei genkai? Sasuke… Masumi says looking over to Kakashi who has the same thought in mind. She then watches Haku and Sasuke fight but she concentrates more on her defensive strategy. "Masumi… I assume you already have a thought on what you're gonna do." Kakashi states and she nods sealing Tazuna in her crystal release prison. "In there is safer than any place in the world. Only I can make it and only I can tear it down." Kakashi nods. Masumi then notices the glowing aura coming from Haku, she senses how much chakra the boy is using in order to manifest his jutsu. Haku surrounds Sasuke with a bunch of mirrors made from a special nature transformation that's his. Kakashi tries to jump in to save Sasuke from Haku but Zabuza stops him. "If you even try, I'll kill that girl and the old man." Masumi chuckles. "You can try but you will fail." Kakashi smiles over at Masumi. "I suppose I haven't showed you enough of what I can do… but I'm not a killer." Kakashi chuckles. "My students are strong, stronger than you can imagine." Though Masumi turns to see how much damage Haku is doing to Sasuke and can tell hes in need of a weapon. Masumi takes out her bow and shoots one of the mirrors with her crystal arrow covering it in crystal making the mirror break. "That's only a set back." Haku states when Masumi attempts to throw a kunai at Sasuke so he can have a weapon. But Haku quickly makes another mirror and stops Sasuke from receiving Masumi's aid. "Masumi… is it? You should just abandon the old man and help your poor friend." Zabuza teases making Masumi tsk when suddenly a shuriken darts past her catching Haku off guard. Naruto quickly arrives aiding Sasuke in the fight. "You idiot, you should have stayed outside of this now you too have no way out." The boys try their hardest in order to fight Haku but his dangerous jutsu gets the best of them. Masumi's face turns livid My team, both my boys are in danger but all I can do is stand here and watch… my crystal prison is impenetrable but only if I'm inside it or near it near by her, Kakashi is trying to fight Zabuza but they both are equally strong. Kakashi uncovers his sharingan but Zabuza isn't having it. Masumi can sense the fear in Tazuna but she smiles over to him. "Tazuna-san you are the safest you can ever be and my team… my team isn't one you want to mess with." Tazuna nods, Masumi's sensory makes her suddenly look over to Sasuke Just as I thought...His Sharingan, what I saw that night was no illusion. He fell right into his feelings and activated his Sharingan, Masumi thinks as he matches Haku's speed but she's horrified at the number of senbon Haku has thrown at him that are now piercing his body. Naruto passes out by this time with the number of shadow clones he's made in order to fight Haku. Sasuke protects him as best as he can. "Seems he wore himself out." Haku says as Naruto then wakes up. "You did it Sasuke you're-." Naruto stops as he looks at how beat up Sasuke is, Masumi tries to act like it doesn't bother her but her eyes tell a different story as they turn glossy. "Why… you protected me?" Naruto looks shocked as a tear finally leaves Masumi's eye when he falls to the floor. "I never asked you to do that! Sasuke!" Naruto shouts holding him. "You… don't die." Sasuke weakly says. Don't you dare waste this moment that Sasuke has given you... Masumi thinks, panic sets in her body when she senses only a dim amount of chakra in his body fading slowly she wants to run over to him and help but if there is something Sasuke has taught her is to never show weakness so they may never be used by anyone to hurt or threaten each other. Naruto holds him close. "He… to save someone he fell into a trap, hes a shinobi worth of respect. Is this your first time having someone die on you? This is the life of a shinobi." Haku spits out harsh words that offend Naruto. "Shut up…" Masumi looks over at Naruto, his rage turning into a powerful amount of chakra raging around him filling and spilling all over his person. "I won't forgive you…." Naruto turns dangerous the amount of chakra Masumi senses along with his facial features turning lethal. "I will kill you." Naruto states with rage. His chakra takes form of a fox and all his wounds instantly heal What is this? Tsunade told me nothing of this! He has claws… his face… He looks like an animal… Masumi thinks.

"You… Kakashi, I will fight you with my eyes closed, I'm not falling for your sharingan mind tricks." Zabuza starts to attack Kakashi, actually doing some damage when he slashes his back.

"This chakra is pure evil…" Haku whispers to himself. He tries to fight off Naruto, who's wounds are able to heal immediately. It was also noted as powerful that he had a roar like an animal repelling all the senbon. Naruto is able to lure out Haku and pulled him out of his mirror jutsu only to punch him hard enough to crack and break his mask and he is stunned, his beast mode becoming suppressed. "Why did you stop? You could kill me off right now. I'm useless to Zabuza-san now." Haku says without any emotion on his face. Naruto became angry at Haku's words but she quickly looked over at Kakashi who summoned ninken dogs to hold Zabuza in place. "You are far too dangerous so this will end you." Kakashi starts to gather lightning in his hand striking forward at Zabuza when Haku suddenly appears taking the deadly strike in order to protect Zabuza. "Zabuza-san…" Is the only thing Haku could struggle to say grabbing Kakashi's hand making him unable to move even in death. Zabuza then attempts to slash both Haku and Kakashi at the same time."Kill me? You were wrong." Zabuza laughs angering Naruto. "He gave me a chance for the perfect attack!" Masumi quickly makes a wall made of crystal stopping Zabuza's sword but she was relieved that Kakashi jumped back with Haku in his arms. "Why…" Naruto whispers distraught by the blood he sees dripping to the floor. They all look over to Naruto who is looking like he's about to attack Zabuza. "Naruto! Stay there and watch!" Kakashi demanded as he closed Haku's eyes. "This is my battle…" Kakashi kicks away Zabuza who still tried to attack him again and Tazuna taps on the crystal to get Masumi's attention. "Why don't you and I go over there to your friend, this way you can still protect me like your sensei instructed and see what you can do." She looks over at Tazuna and releases him from the encampment. She nods and grabs his hand running over to Sasuke Past Naruto who gives Masumi a pained look. Tears trail down her eyes but her face is still serious but her body tells a different story when she kneels down to Sasuke, her eyes show a tinge of rage when her normally jade in color crystal now a crimson red when she puts up a wall to block off Zabuza from Tazuna, thus keeping her promise to protect Tazuna. "Masumi…." Kakashi whispers knowing full well that if she wasn't trying to save Sasuke right now she would release all her might on Zabuza. She starts to carefully pull out each senbon out of his body and heal those areas quickly so he wouldn't bleed out as they are deep enough in the body where bleeding is the greatest. She takes out gauze she has in a pocket and wipes the blood off his lip. "Don't mind me or anyone else… This isn't time for you to hold back your emotions." Tazuna says with a look of guilt on her face she keeps on healing Sasuke biting her lower lip. A fake smile washes over her face but her tears tell another story. "After a terrible thing happened, I slept next to him by his side when he laid in a hospital bed… I thought to myself My older sister would be able to heal him right up that's when I decided I would travel with my older sister… to learn medical ninjutsu in order to be his strength not his weakness. When I finally came back to attend the academy I already knew so much that this won't be a problem. This won't be a problem… " Masumi cried. On the other side of the wall, Kakashi and Zabuza are still fighting but with Zabuza unable to keep up. Kakashi had managed to cripple one of Zabuza's arms and was about to kill him but he flapped his other arm in an attempt to stop him but ended up crippling his other arm. Kakashi jumps back announcing to Zabuza that he can't even weave signs anymore when a tiny old man comes in with a cane behind him are several men with weapons. "I'm disappointed in you Zabuza." The old man laughs. "Gato why are you here and what are those men." Zabuza asks. "Change of plans, sorry Zabuza but you die here." Gato snickers playing with his cane. "Kakashi… sorry but if there is no need for me to kill Tazuna anymore then our fight ends here…" Zabuza says while Kakashi agrees while they watch Gato get close to Haku's body and kicked him. "Huh, he's dead." Gato laughs. "You asshole!" Naruto shouts. "What do you think you're doing!" He tries to run at Gato but Kakashi holds him back. "Don't act reckless!" Kakashi instructs him. "He was your partner! Say something!" Naruto shouts at Zabuza who just tells him to shut up. "Don't you feel something watching him do that? Weren't you with Haku for a long time!?" Zabuza dryly responds. "Just as Gato used me, I simply used Haku. I thought you would know, us shinobi are just tools, what I wanted were his skills not him as a person. I have no regrets." Zabuza sounds quite bitter. "Stop Naruto, there's no need to fight him anymore." Kakashi tries to solve the matter but Naruto still points at Zabuza and refers to him as his enemy. "He really like you! He loved you that much that he would lay his life for you! Even then, you still feel nothing?! You really honestly feel nothing? When a person becomes as strong as you.. does a person really become like you…? He threw his life away for you! He didn't even fulfill his own dreams yet… to die as a tool… that's.. that's too painful…" Naruto sobbed. "Kid…" Naruto saw tears imprinting on the floor at Zabuza's feet. "Don't say anything… anymore. Haku… he wasn't just thinking of me, I saw his pain when he had to fight you. I know. He was too kind… I'm glad at the end.. you were the ones we fought." Zabuza ripped off the bandage tape he wore around his face. "Yes, it's like you say little punk… Shinobi are human too.. Maybe it is hard to become a heartless tool… I lost." Zabuza says with a smile. "Kid, throw that Kunai to me." Zabuza instructs making Naruto look quite puzzled but he does so anyways. Zabuza grabs it with his teeth and darts at Gato who runs back and hides in the crows of the men he brought. "You all! Get him!" He shouts with a panic, the men excitedly say yes seeing a crippled Zabuza as a weak target. Just with his mouth he is able to cut down half the men then sprint towards Gato impaling him in the chest with the Kunai but he is then stabbed in the back multiple times from the remaining men. "If you're so excited to meet your friend in the afterlife, you go! Alone!" Gato weakly demands. "I don't… intend to go where Haku is going…" Zabuza walks towards Gato. "Pretending to be so tough…" Gato backs up scared by the man before him. "You're going to hell with me! When the demon of the hidden mist village dies and goes to hell, he becomes a REAL demon!" He slices at Gato fatally injuring him and the mob of men cowardly back up when Zabuza darts his eye at them, He walks back to lay beside Haku. "Now it's good bye Haku, thank you for everything… and sorry…" He says collapsing on the floor making Naruto look away. "Don't… look away in the end he lived fiercly…" Kakashi says.

"Masu… Masumi…" Sasuke begins to say coming out of his sleep. "Shh, it's ok. You're wounded, not as severely anymore… But.. I have to take these out… I have to close these up…" Masumi's voice cracked while saying all of that. There weren't as many wounds anymore that needed patching but Sasuke looked over to her and saw how she was making her lip begin to bleed as she had been biting it the whole time in order to contain the tears that she failed to keep in. He grabbed her hands and say up. "Don't move yet I-" He stops her placing his hands over her eyes. "There now no one can see…." He weakly said and she began to sob quite hushed. "Thank you." She said tearfully as she wiped the tears away and grabbed his hands looking at him with a smile. "Let me take care of the remaining senbon…" she chuckled in success, everything Tsunade had been training her for paid off. She also brought down the wall of red crystal as there was no need to be defensive anymore. "And the masked kid..?" Sasuke asked. "He died… protecting Zabuza…" She answers making Sasuke look over at their direction. "He's alright now!" Masumi shouts over at Naruto, he and Kakashi look over relieved. One of the men then tries to get their attention, "You all look so relaxed, you killed our source of money." One of them shouts. "Now that this has happened, we're just going to kill you all and take all the valuable things in the city." Another shouts. "Sensei, do you have a jutsu that can annihilate all of them at once?!" Naruto asks concerned. "Impossible, I've used too much chakra." He responds when an arrow lands at men's feet. "Masumi you can't possibly take them out by your self." Kakashi turns back to look at her who is still healing Sasuke. "That wasn't me, besides I wouldn't use a normal arrow for men who want to attack the village… no, I'd make them suffer as much as I could before they could get near me." She responds making the men back up when they saw the intent in the side eye she was looking at them with. She then pointed over at Inari who arrived with the village people. "Enemies who come any where near this village, with all our might, will not be allowed to live." One of the village men shouts. "Heroes always arrive to the battle late!" Inari says with a smile. "Inari.. all of you…" Tazuna says with tears of joy. "Right! I'll help too!" Naruto shouts summoning 4 shadow clones. "I can at least spare some chakra for that even if to just bluff." Kakashi says to himself summoning several clones of himself as well. All of the men run off the bridge in order to escape even if they fall over themselves and everyone begins to cheer. Kakashi walks over to Zabuza. "Sounds like its over." He says "Kakashi I need a favor… his face, I want to see his face." Kakashi nods removing the sticks impaled on his back and moves him over to Haku. Snow begins to fall puzzling everyone. "Snow? This time of year?" They wonder. "Thanks, Kakashi…" Zabuza says turning to look at Haku when Kakashi places him on the floor of the bridge. "Haku… are you crying…" Zabuza wonders looking at the snow. "You were always by my side, now I can at least be by yours… in the end." He whispers over to Haku, with the little bit that he could move his arm he touches Haku's face, sunlight peaking through the clouds. Naruto had been crying the whole time as Masumi helped Sasuke up.

"This guy, he was born in a village that snowed a lot…" Naruto says.

"I see, he was a boy as pure as snow…" Kakashi says. "You'll be able to go Zabuza… the both of you together."

"Maybe in a different place… a different time… we could've been friends." Masumi says patting the dirt where they had buried Haku and Zabuza. "Do you really think they are right about living as tools?" Sasuke asks. "That's the way all ninja live… trying to figure that out without realizing… like Zabuza and this kid." Kakashi answers. "Okay, I've decided, I'm going to run towards a direction that I can become the best ninja in the best ways possible." Naruto says with a smile.

-Days Later-

"Thanks to all of you we managed to safely complete the bridge! But we'll miss you." Tazuna announces at the bridge entrance accompanied by village people and some of the builders. "Take care." Tsunami smiles at the team. "Thank you for everything." Kakashi smiles. "Now, now, we can come back and visit!" Naruto replies with a wide grin. "You better!" Inari says beginning to weep. "Inari… you're gonna miss us, arent you?" Naruto asks his own face beginning to bawl. "Its ok to cry Naruto!" Inari says with Naruto quickly turning his back. "See you later!" He shouts finally letting the tears out. "Take care all of you! Keep this bridge safe as it united everyone and served justice to that old man Gato!" Masumi exclaims turning around to leave. "This bridge indeed did unite us all." Tazuna says. They begin to walk away but Masumi realizes she forgot to give Tsunami a few more recipes since she mentioned wanting to help any ninja that use their bridge. "Tsunami-san! I forgot to-" Shes cut off by the conversation she overhears. "The Great Naruto bridge!" Tazuna laughs. "Oh Masumi-chan did you forget something?" Tsunami asks. "Yeah, I wrote down 2 more recipes that you can use, it took me a while since these needed delicate instructions, but whats this I overhear? Naruto bridge?" She asks. "Yes, We were talking about the impact he left on this village so we wanted to commemorate him." Tazuna tries to laugh it off but Masumi looks at them suspiciously but a wide smile lights up her face. "I approve! Now he'll have to visit to see his name up on that boarder!" She hands the papers to Tsunami and waves good bye catching up with the team. "I thought it was simply to leave some papers…" Sasuke trails off looking at her. "Well we got off to talking, but I'm here now. I so look forward to visiting this place soon!" She looks back at the bridge. We'll all come back here some day...
