Naruto hung her head as she stared at the hero's stone memorial through the poring rain. The Hokage had died and she had no reason to stay in Konoha any more.
Naruto's teammates watched the blonde haired girl as she stared blankly at the people walking up to the picture to pay their respects to the Hokage. "Naruto, are you alright?" Kakashi asked carefully.
Naruto lifted her head and simply gazed quietly at them before shaking her head. "No, I'm not. I have nothing left to keep me here."
Kakashi sucked in a deep breath, his students words had hit him hard. Did she not consider them a reason worth staying in Konoha for? "Why do you say that?"
"This is not the place to discuss such a thing as what you have asked me to answer." Naruto replied quietly as she turned back toward the procession of the funeral of the Third Hokage. Walking toward the stone she laid a single white flower before the third's picture. "I am grateful for everything you did for me when I was little. What am I to stay here for now? You always said this day will come but neither of us expected it to be this soon. Who will I stay here for? Or shall I use that waiver you gave me before I became a genin?"
Kakashi's mind was running a mile a minute, a waiver? "Naruto what do you mean by a waiver?"
Naruto lifted her head to gaze solemnly at him, "The Hokage gave me a waiver for if I ever wanted to leave Konoha. If I leave the waiver will ensure that I will never become a nuke nin."
