April 20th
Konohagakure
Even though the city had been cleaned up, the people of Konohagakure were still a bit wary of going outside of their homes or leaving their underground shelters. Collateral damage had been a big fear between the Black Swan and Blood Red battle for the city, and not all civilians were not totally ready to go back outside. But even though some did not want to leave their homes, plenty of them returned to their normal lives. Businesses reopened, children went outside to play, and even the Konohagakure Firestorm began to play games again. Best of all, the Hokage was returning back, and the return of their leader made the people of Konoha much more confident then before.
In the Black Swan HQ building, light from the sun that had slowly begun to rise up over the city penetrated through the glass windows that lined the outside of the massive skyscraper. In the upper floors, where bedrooms that people slept in were placed, the sun shined straight through the window of Yamanaka Ino and Haruno Sakura. The combination of the sunlight, an airship passing by the window, and the general city noise made the blond girl give up her fight to stay in a state of sleep, and her eyes opened to make her wake up to a new day. "Sakura," she whispered, "Sakura are you awake?"
"Ino," Sakura groaned, "You can't whisper for your life. What is wrong?"
"It's morning now," Ino stated, looking at a small clock on the nightstand in between the two double beds that each girl got to have to themselves. "We should get up and get going."
"Go where," Sakura groaned, her back still turned to Ino, "I'm not leaving this city for another few days. I need a rest."
"I understand that," Ino replied, "We can stay, but I just want to sort of discuss things." Ino's last few words made Sakura turn over in her bed, making her now look at her friend with her green eyes. But when she looked over, Ino deduced something else from her friend. "You slept naked didn't you?"
"I find it quite enjoyable thank you," Sakura said, "How 'bout you?"
"Too cold if you ask me," Ino replied, "But yeah, we need to talk about some things."
"Like what," Sakura asked.
"Just get Tenten, Hinata, and Kinn," Ino ordered, "We need to talk over a lot of things."
"Why don't you do it," Sakura asked, "And if you ask why, I just don't feel like getting out of bed right now." Not being able to argue with her friend, who she knew would be very angry if she kept up the request to get her friend out of bed and do the job she had to do, Ino got out of her bed and walked out, going to get the other girls. It would be the first time they would ever discuss things like they needed to talk about.
Just like Ino, the sounds of the city and sunlight penetrated another room in the house containing three of the other members of the Goddesses awoke one of them as well. In this case, it was Hinata. When the rays of sunlight pierced the glass and made her pry open her eyelids to look out, the first thing she did was turn over and place an arm on the chest of the young man she was sleeping next to. "Naruto kun," she said, "Are you awake?"
"I am now," Naruto muttered, his eyes still closed, "Something wrong?"
"Shouldn't we be getting up now," Hinata asked, "I wanted to take imouto chan out with you for a bit, I thought we could go to a baseball game together." Naruto's eyes opened up at the thought of Hinata mentioning a baseball game to him, and slowly he turned his head so he could look into Hinata's eyes, eyes that give away the fact that she was clearly in love with him. Even though he was not in love with her, he still felt a bit special to have someone love him the way she did, and that made him at least happy inside. "I see you really are awake."
"Yep," Naruto said, reaching over and bringing himself to kiss Hinata on the forehead, making the girl blush and even giggle a bit, "Now what was that about a baseball game today?"
"I was thinking," she said, running her hand through Naruto's hair, "That we could go to a baseball game today. The Firestorm is playing today, and I thought it would be a nice idea for you, imouto chan, and I to go and have some fun before tonight."
"That's an idea," Naruto said, "I got to talk to someone first, some business with a friend of mine, but then I'll see if I can. If I can't, just go with Hanabi. She deserves some quality time with you."
"Then I should go wake her up," Hinata chuckled. Getting out of the bed from the left side, Hinata then walked across the room to go over to her sister's bed Slowly pulling the covers down to reveal Hanabi's body. Reaching down, the older Hyuga female proceeded to run her fingers down her sibling's arm, making the other girl shudder. Knowing that Hanabi's senses were ready, Hinata then proceeded to use her ultimate wake up tool. That tool was to simply tickle her sister until the girl was on the verge of near orgasm, and Hinata began to do it by starting on Hanabi's armpits.
The results came fast. A few seconds after Hinata began her assault on her sister, Hanabi began to giggle and twitch all over. Soon this erupted into sweating and full blown laughing, with occasional bursts of "stop it Hinata" coming from her mouth. Finally, after Hinata could tell that Hanabi really wanted her to stop and that the girl was wide awake, she ceased her attack. Now wide awake and panting, Hanabi sat up in her bed to begin the new day. "What was that for," she asked.
"I'm taking you out today with Naruto," Hinata told her sister, "We'll go see the Firestorm play before the big night tonight?"
"You'd take me to see a baseball game," Hanabi asked with suspicion, not totally believing what her older sibling was proposing to do, "You really would?"
"I don't see why I wouldn't. We are on a bit of a break, you and I were just in a huge battle between Black Swan and Blood Red, and now I think we could chill."
"But I want to fight," Hanabi whined, "I want to go on an adventure and be a sky pirate!"
"You'll get to do that soon imouto chan," Hinata said, placing her hands on her sister's shoulders. "But for now, you should really just rest. It would be a good thing to do for you. So what do you say?"
"What do I say," Hanabi exclaimed, "I say lets go watch a baseball game!" When Hanabi shouted those words, a knock on the door was heard throughout the room, making all of them look at the door. "Who is it?"
"It's Ino," the fellow sky pirate on the other side stated, "Hinata, we need to talk about some things. Only You, Sakura, Kinn, Tenten, and me. Naruto and Hanabi are staying out of this." Confused about what Ino was saying, Hinata walked over to the door and opened it up, revealing Ino standing there in her nightgown, still looking a bit out of it even though she had awaken from the previous night's slumber.
"What's wrong," Hinata questioned in a perplexed manner, "Why can't we bring Naruto and Hanabi imouto chan?"
"That is the way Sakura and I want this," Ino said, "Nothing is wrong, we just need to talk about some things. You understand?" Hinata gave a slight "hmm" and nodded her head in agreement. "Get dressed then, we're going to go out somewhere to talk about this." Ino then closed the door and walked away, going to go wake up Kinn and Tenten.
"Naruto kun," Hinata said, walking over to a closet to get her clothes, "Could you maybe take Hanabi out. I'll meet you two in the park."
"Um sure," Naruto said, "Why?"
"I just need to talk about some things with the other girls," Hinata stated, starting to put on some clothes, "But I'll be back."
"You sure everything is alright," Naruto asked.
"Yes," Hinata replied, "Everything is fine. You just take Hanabi out after I leave. Is that clear?"
"I hear you," Naruto affirmed. Hinata then looked at him a bit awkwardly. "Oh sorry." Naruto then lied down and rolled over, allowing Hinata to get dressed in privacy.
For the first time in a few weeks, Kurenai could gladly say that she was able to just sit down without having to worry about anything else. She didn't have to worry about anyone attacking her business or home, she didn't have to worry about any problems with other people, all she had to worry about was if she was enjoying herself. It was these rare moments that Kurenai cherished, and she was especially happy that it was happening at a time when a break was needed for just about everyone in Konohagakure.
With a plate of Italian pizales made by Amedeo, Agnese, and Talia along with hot tea on a platter sitting next to her at a table, Kurenai sat back to read a translated copy of Dante's Inferno. As she read the famous poem and at the Italian breakfast food while drinking tea, she found herself laughing a bit. "So as they sinned, so they are punished," Kurenai said to herself, "Interesting." Reading on, Kurenai continued to think about the principals of the poem and Dante's hell, she began to apply these principals to people that she had done away with over the years, applying them even to herself.
"Well lets see," Kurenai thought, "I kill people, I steal, I have made men commit countless cases of adultery, have hoarded wealth for myself and a few others, and have sowed discord in quite a few places. I think Dante's hell would not be able to accommodate me. I'd be out doing the poet's own rules. If they ever dragged me down, I'd have time to escape while Dante's Satan and all his minions argued over what to do with me. Cheating death, an interesting prospect." Taking another bite out a pizzal and sipping on her tea, Kurenai went to flip to another page in The Divine Comedy, the doorbell she had installed next to her office door then sounded off. "Come in." The doorknob rattled around a bit, and then it opened and Asuma stepped inside. "Asuma kun, how are you this morning."
"Kurenai chan," Asuma said, walking up to the desk to take a seat in one of the chairs on the other side, "Reading Inferno I see?"
"Crazy shit Christians believe in," Kurenai joked, "Really crazy shit. So, what are you hear for kobito?" She then bent over the desk and gave Asuma quick kiss on the lips, making Asuma turn red in the face.
"Just saying that dad said we can have a party at his home," Asuma told her, "I just checked up with him and he said he's having the servants get the place ready for tonight. I also want to ask one more thing of you?"
"What," Kurenai asked, looking at him with a smile on her face.
"Well everyone is going out today before we have the party tonight," Asuma told her, "Ino and the girls are going out to do some stuff, Naruto is talking with Kakashi, and Anko is just going on her own for a bit. I was thinking we could do the same?"
"What exactly did you have in mind," the crimson eyed woman asked her lover, "I'm open for anything, but what did you want to do."
"I was thinking we could just take a leisure flight," Asuma proposed, "You know, take that Fiesler we got lying around on the roof and just take it out for a flight over the fields and city. Maybe stop at some country repair station with a quaint little restaurant and eat there, and get wasted at the bar. After we at the point where we are wasted out of our fucking minds we can go back into the Fiesler and do things to each other that sober people don't do. Things that do not require clothes."
"Oh I like," Kurenai said with a big grin, "I like very much." Eating the last pizzal on the plate in one bite and downing the last of the tea in her cup with a single gulp, Kurenai then got up and walked over to a coat rack in the corner of the office, taking her black leather jacket off the rack and slipping it on. "Come on baby, aren't we going to have fun today?" Knowing that it would be stupid to argue against doing what he had proposed to do with his lover, Asuma shrugged his shoulders and walked with Kurenai up to the roof.
Hinata had since left the building, and Hanabi had gone downstairs to eat her breakfast. This left Naruto all alone in the bedroom. Though he lied there for a little bit longer, contemplating on what to do, he then got out of bed and started doing what he knew he would be asked to do.
Walking over to the closet, Naruto opened it up and pulled out a suitcase that Sakura had given him for all his items. Placing the suitcase on the bed, Naruto began to place his folded clothes inside of the suitcase. It was not like he wanted to, but he figured he was have to start soon. He knew that someone was coming to take him, and he needed to back his clothes and leave a note to say where he was going and why he was going before Hinata and the other girls got back.
Packing away the stuff, tears began to fall down Naruto's face slowly. "I guess it is all for the best," he muttered, a knot beginning to form in his throat from all the sorrow. "I mean, I just can't stay. I abandoned my post, and I just got to go." Holding back the tears as best as he could, it just became an impossible task for the blond ace pilot. These were people who had taken him in when they could have shot him, these are people who gave him an experience that he had never experienced before three weeks ago, he was doing things that he found was a lot more fun then doing jobs for the military. What was worst of all was the fact that he was leaving Hinata behind, and how she would feel about it. "Why am I thinking about her," he shouted, hitting his fists on the nightstand, "I don't even love her and I'm breaking down over her!" Someone then started knocking on the door. "What the fuck do you want?"
"It's Kakashi," the person on the other side stated, "Let me come in."
"The door is unlocked," Naruto told the lieutenant, "Come on in." Naruto then sat down on the bed and let Kakashi walk in, saluting him as he came inside. "Sir."
"Naruto," Kakashi said, "How are you doing?"
"Oh you know," Naruto said, "Just getting ready to leave some friends behind, that is all."
"Yeah," Kakashi said, "About that. I want to say..."
"You know Kakashi," Naruto said, shaking his head, "I fucking realized something today. You are the biggest fucking asshole in the history of the world to me!" Kakashi was a bit aghast. "You want know why you sick little piece of shit? You'd take away a man from his lover. You'd take away one from the best friends he has had in over ten years. You'd do all that. Now you probably are wondering when did I ever did that, oh you're doing it right now Kakashi. You're doing it right fucking now! If I had a gun in the room, I'd seriously shoot you and see to it that the Konoha sanitation crew takes you away and throws you in a garbage compactor!"
"Naruto," Kakashi shouted, "Could you let me explain?" Knowing that he could be very badly hurt if he did not shut up, Naruto quieted down and let Kakashi talk. "I don't want to take you away."
The blond that Kakashi was addressing simply could not believe his ears. "I have been given orders that if you can track down an eliminate Sasuke and his squadron, you can stay with those girls. You're bound to cross paths with him, and I bet Haruno will see to it that it happens."
"So I can stay with them," Naruto said.
"You can," Kakashi affirmed, "Just remember, kill Sasuke and I'll make sure you and your lady friends are not chased. How does that sound?"
"Sounds like a deal," Naruto yelled in joy, standing up and bowing for his ex commanding officer, "Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go take Hinata's sister out for the day until Hinata comes back and picks us up." Naruto then ran out of the room, feeling more happy then any other day in his life.
In the center of Konohagakure, where the people who had chosen to leave their homes were out bustling around and trying to do their jobs, a small teahouse hosted the five female sky pirates collectively known as the Goddesses. Each of them sat down at a table, sitting there and just talking about small talk until their tea came. In particular, they were talking about some of their exploits in the gang war, a subject brought up by Tenten. "Well I got to tell you about the time Naruto, Hinata, and I destroyed a giant railway gun with a single bomb," Ino boasted.
"No way," Kinn said, "The Blood Reds had a railway gun?"
"No, we dropped a bomb on a circus train loaded with clowns a fluffy puppies," Ino jested in a sarcastic manner, "Of course it was a railway gun. Stolen from Suna, they took it apart and set it up on the old tracks. You'd be fucking impressed with what those guys had Tenten. Huge gun, probably 800 meters. Naruto took it out with 2000 pound bomb."
"You got to be bullshitting me," Tenten exclaimed, making nearly everyone in the teahouse look at her. A sharp glare from her eyes though made them stop and go back to doing what they were doing before Tenten cursed. "Sorry about that, but is this true."
"Naruto kun put the bomb right in the ammo magazine," Hinata explained, "Chain reaction set the gun off and made the barrel go sky high."
"God I can't believe I missed out on all the action," Tenten sighed, "I mean, all because Arien died on me. It was pretty stupid."
"Hey don't beat yourself up over it," Sakura ordered, putting her arm around her friend, "We all have our times when we get into an abnormal state of depression. It is fine." At that moment, a waitress came over with the tea they had ordered. "Good good, now can we get started."
"Yes," Ino said, pouring tea for all the girls, "We can get started now. I called this meeting to discuss some important things. Particularly, Hanabi and Naruto."
"What about them," Kinn asked, "They are good pilots and good people. They can be trusted."
"I'm not saying we should kill them," Ino said, sipping on her tea, "I think we should just maybe send them back. I overheard last night that Kakashi guy that you know Sakura talking about taking Naruto back, and Naruto complying with it."
"No," Hinata whispered, "Naruto wouldn't."
"He's still part of the military Hinata chan," Ino reminded her, "We just picked him up after he had been shot down. He could be put to death if he is captured if he stays with us. It is our best interest to let him go and it is his best interest as well."
"He'll just die anyway," Hinata told Ino, "Why leave him to die without a funeral when he could die with a funeral from us?"
"I agree with Hinata," Sakura said, "Naruto stays. He's not going anywhere. I'll make sure he doesn't."
"Sakura," Ino hissed, "You can't do this! Do you know what could happen if we are caught harboring him? Do you know what will happen to him? He is a good pilot, a really good one, and a great person at that. I'm saying we do this so he can be safe."
"No I think you're saying we do it because you are just a bit tired of being shown up by him in the sky," Sakura said, "Ino, he's staying, and so is Hanabi. That girl has no life outside of us now, no point in letting her face the world on her own."
"I agree," Kinn said, "But there is one thing that is really starting to bug me now that Naruto is with us."
"What may that be," Tenten asked, taking a drink of the hot beverage that was in the cup in her hands.
"I just don't like how we have to be Goddesses and Naruto is a God," Kinn said, "It just really bugs me."
"What are you saying," Sakura asked, looking at Kinn suspiciously.
"I'm saying we change our name," Kinn said, "I mean, come on we aren't just all girls anymore if we have Naruto. Goddesses just doesn't fit anymore."
"She's got a point," Tenten stated, "We could use a bit of a name change. Not something so out there."
"I got an idea," Hinata stated, then saying her idea to the other girls, "How does it sound?"
"Sounds good with me," Kinn said, "I'm for it."
"So am I," Ino said, "It is in line with our old name, and it sounds pretty menacing."
"What Ino said," Tenten said, "It's good with me."
"So it is official then," Sakura said, "We are no longer the Goddesses. Girls, I think we had a pretty productive meeting. Now lets toast, to a new name, to Hanabi, and most of all, toast to Naruto."
"To all the stuff Sakura said," Ino said, raising her glass, "Come on girls. To Naruto."
"To Naruto," all of them said unison, hitting the china glasses together. All of them laughed and went back to telling fight stories, laughing more and more along the way.
Just like she had promised, Hinata did take Naruto and Hanabi to a baseball game. Just like he had promised, Asuma and Kurenai both did go out and do things without their clothes in in the back of a small German monoplane, but without getting intoxicated. Everyone managed to do something fun before the party at Hokage tower that was hosted by Asuma and his father, a party to celebrate victory and to celebrate all the new and great things that were happening to them. Inside of the tower, a large hall was prepared with tables, a dance floor, food, and a small orchestral ensemble that was under partial command of a nine year old Serbian girl. Even Neji, who had been moved to a safer location out of the city to be treated for his injuries had come back, still in crutches with a broken leg but recovering slowly and surely.
Sitting next to his younger cousin, Neji could not believe what he was hearing from Hanabi. Stories about planes, dogfights, ground battles, the whole story that she had of the massive gang war that had ravaged the city. "So you actually have your own high end fighter," Neji said, "That's pretty amazing."
"I'm just amazed that I am already an ace so quickly," Hanabi told her cousin, "But it was hell Neji. You wouldn't have wanted to fight in it. It was just pure hell."
"Sometimes we all need hell Hanabi sama," Neji said.
"How is the company doing," Hanabi asked.
"It's doing alright," Neji said, "I got everything all under control, and the Kazama basin operation is going strong, just like how your Tousann had it." Hanabi smiled at the good news that Neji had revealed to her. "Now if you'll excuse me," Neji said, propping himself up from his seat with the crutches, "I want to go find Hinata." Neji then started to move with his crutches, careful how he moved so he could go over to his cousin, who was sitting at a table waiting for Naruto to come in. When she saw her cousin coming, she pulled up a chair so he could sit down easily, which he took gladly.
"How are you doing," she asked.
"You got your sister to do some pretty dangerous stuff," Neji pointed out.
"Hey," Hinata said, "She's a sky pirate. Might as well get used to the danger. So how are you?"
"I'm fine," Neji said, "Doctors say my arms healed well thanks to Sakura, and my burns are all gone. Now just this leg is in a cast for eight weeks and I'm good."
"Well it is good to know you'll be alright," Hinata said, looking around the room for her man, "Come on, where is Naruto?"
"You really are into him huh," Neji pointed out, "You must really like him."
"We're in love," Hinata told him with a big smile, "And that makes us do crazy things." The large wood doors on the right side of the room that served as an entrance to the party then burst open with a loud band, making the music stop and all the party goers look at the door to see Naruto, in his black suit and pants, white button down shirt, and red tie standing there, panting and sweating. It had been apparent he ran there.
"I'm sorry," Naruto said, "Just had a hard time picking out what to where. Go on without me." Everyone giving a hearty laugh at the blond who had just came through the door, the music began to play again and Naruto walked up to Hinata and took her hand. "May I have this dance?"
"Hai Naruto kun," Hinata replied with a smile, "You may." Watching his cousin walk away with the guy he had fought on the roof of the baseball stadium over a week ago, Neji began to laugh at himself, and how certain random things have a tendency to make 180 degree turnarounds. In particular, he laughed at himself for making this change.
As the party went on, and people at the food and drank the wine, as people kept on dancing to the music, it came to a point where a special event was too occur. This event started with Sandaime Hokage Sarutobi walking up to the podium at the end of the room and tapping the microphone with his finger, producing a harsh screeching sound. "Oh, it is on," he chuckled, "Sorry about that, just trying to see if it worked." Despite having their ear drums nearly shattered, many of the people in the room kindly laughed at Sarutobi's joke. "I would first like to say, thank you for attending. It was very polite of you all to come and rejoice in the victory that my son and his lover, Yuhi Kurenai were able to achieve. The ANBU and military give their regards son for doing their job for them." Everyone in the room then applauded for Kurenai and Asuma. "I'd like to have Kurenai come and say some words about the battle that occurred here." Walking up to the podium with people all around her still applauding, Kurenai silenced them with a quick look.
"Wow," Kurenai said, "I get congratulated for causing more death and destruction in three weeks then I did in two months." Once again, the party guests began laughing again. "Well anyway, I just wanted to say that I couldn't have done this without a lot of people. I couldn't have done without the authorization of Sandaime Hokage Sarutobi, his son Asuma, and also all the pilots, soldiers, vehicle crews, mechanics, technicians, all those people pat yourselves on a back for a job well done because you kicked a lot of ass out there these past few weeks!" The applause began to go up again, and many of the pilots and other Black Swan employees in the room began to blush or look at the floor in modesty.
"In particular, I want to thank Sakura Haruno, Ino Yamanaka, Tenten Himura, Kinn Tsuchi, Hanabi Hyuga, and Naruto Uzumaki of the Goddesses for helping us defeat those scumbags. They did a lot, more then I can say was amazing. They actually went out of their way to help us out when they could have left us. But they stayed. Speaking on their behalf tonight is a girl I have known for an incredibly long amount of time. I have watched her grow into a beautiful and elegant woman and a crafty and loving person, and along with that one of the best snipers I have ever seen. This girl was my student from the age of thirteen, she is one of the best pilots I know, ladies and gentlemen, I give you Hinata Hyuga," Kurenai explained, pointing to her student as she walked up to the podium in her jet black dress, stumbling from wearing high heels. Shaking her head a bit with a smile, Kurenai then moved out of the way and let Hinata take the microphone.
"Thank you sensei," Hinata said, "Yes I want to thank all at Black Swan, especially my sensei Kurenai for teaching me all that I know. I would also really want to say thank you to my sister Hanabi and and cousin Neji, they are very important to me and Hanabi you are on your road to being a great pilot. I want to thank Sakura for bringing Ino, Tenten, Kinn, and me all together and being an amazing pilot, friend, and medic. I want to thank Ino for sticking by me, I want to thank Tenten for blowing up countless airships with me, and I want to thank Kinn for flying the Pandora. None of us would have bothered to do that." All of the girls began to laugh and pat Kinn on the back.
"I also really want to thank someone I consider to be a gift from kami sama himself to me," Hinata said, "He came to me one day when I was flying a helicopter trying to find a place for us to stop when we got back from raiding the Rain Country. I found him in a smoldering wreck of a plane, I brought him up, and got Sakura to treat him for his wounds. Ever since then, he has been my best friend, my greatest ally, one amazing pilot, and above all, he is my lover." At this, Ino, Kinn, and Tenten all had wide eyes. "He also prompted us to change our name. We are no longer only Goddesses. We are now, The Immortals. So please, you perfect soul, pat yourself on the back. I say to you thank you so much for giving me so much. Thank you, Uzumaki Naruto." Hinata then walked away from the podium, a small amount of applause growing in a massive amount as she walked away. Feeling very happy, she smiled and walked back over to her friends. Naruto then took the microphone.
"Thank you Hinata," Naruto said, "Yes, Hinata is my lover, and yes I am so happy to have met the fine girls who make up what is now The Immortals. You people are the best friends anyone could ask for. Kurenai you are a brilliant tactician and fighter, and Asuma you are an amazing person as well. I would also like to thank my commanding officer Hatake Kakashi for letting me stay with these girls, and for all the stuff he has taught me as well that my original mentor Umino Iruka did not teach me. That is all." Naruto walked back to Hinata, giving her a kiss, and then watching Sarutobi come back.
"So with all the thanks aside," Sarutobi, "I now say, the party is now resumed!" All of the people in the room cheered and hollered as the orchestra began to play a dance song, everyone in the room getting a partner and getting up and dancing.
Going on until about two in the morning, the party was one that none of them would forget any time soon. By the time they walked out, they were nearly intoxicated from all the liquor, they had the best time dancing, they were all incredibly happy of what had been done that night. It was all incredible for each and every one of them.
"So," Naruto said, his right arm around Hinata as they walked onto the runway near the tower to get a plane back to the HQ building. "What is our next move?"
"We're staying here for a bit," Sakura said, "Do our work around here for awhile. Then we'll pack up and leave when the heat gets too much."
"Where will we go after that," Naruto asked.
"I don't know Naruto kun," Hinata said, hugging him tightly, "But there is a lot of sky out there, and we're bound to go somewhere that it covers."
"Yeah we'll be up there," Naruto said, looking up at the dark night sky lit up by countless stars, "Up there in those crazy, dangerous, beautiful, and limitless fire paved skies."
