Live Wire, Chapter 4
'Evacuation has begun' I thought as the shinobi council members began to leave 'it'll take time but we must make sure the fewest number of lives are taken.'
-1st person Minato
It took 2 days to set up the shelter and move all civilians into the Forest of Death, which has become the safe-haven for our villages people, how ironic.
'Well at least the move wasn't to stressful, though that kid with the balloon did make my day'
-Flashback-
"BUT DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD!" the young boy cried, "It's scary in there and I'm not going!"
"Hiwaso please be reasonable, this is for your own safety."
"NO NO NO NOOOOO! I don't want to" shouted Hiwaso, stomping to punctuate each 'no' while practically running in place for the final 'no'.
"But Hiwaso you must-"
No sooner had the words left the fathers lips than was Hiwaso running into the previously scary forest.
"Hi-Hiwaso where are you going?"
"Into the forest like you said Tou-san!"
The dad paused almost comically, then noticing his son fidgeting and a man with a balloon cart headed into the forest.
'I'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth' thought Hiwaso's father.
Later the father bought his son roughly 30 balloons, in hopes of keeping him entertained for the next few days ahead.
-Flashback end-
'How easily the young are encouraged...'
A new stack of paper work found it's way onto my desk, detailing what kind's of injuries, and the number of patients the temporary hospital tent could withstand. After all best be prepared for anything.
~3rd Person~
It was indeed going well for Konoha's people, the large move, while taxing on the young, old and debilitated, was over and life seemed to just about return to 'normal' all trade agreements had been, since the moment the Kyuubi was spotted, canceled. However people can't go without food, and a hearty meal can heal the hearts of men. It seemed that the Akimchi did in fact start planning an enormous picnic for all of the villagers, if only Minato heard; the irony would bring some more light to this harsh turn of events
~Back to Minato~
"Ahhhhhhh, finally" sighed Minato "My greatest of enemies... defeated!" All of the paper work was finally into the 'out' bin, such a thing this village hasn't seen since the founding of said village, of course even the if it's a good change, fate despises change.
"Minato-Koi!"
"Wai-What Kushi-chan pleas-"
Without hesitation a 6-month pregnant Kushina had swung open the tent flap fast enough to scatter ALL of the paper work Minato had done.
'No... NOOOOOOOOOOOO!' Minato cried silently at the sight of the once finished and organized paper work scattering all over the tent
Of course Kushina had her reason.
"Minato-koi you haven't visited me all day and- why are you crying?"
"You- I mean- It's just-" started Minato 'Know what forget it, the old man left the office more than once for reasons much less noble, how can visiting my wife cause any turmoil in the tmporary village'
"It's nothing Kushi-chan, say I heard old man Ichikaru set up a temporary stall today, how about I take you out for dinner?"
"Squuueeeee~"
'I suppose I should've seen this coming' thought Minato as he was drug out of his tent by his now, almost scarily, happy wife.
