Path Not Taken 11

Azula

Those fools! How could they let themselves be killed?

Azula

Minato's space-time techniques... Kushina's sealing abilities... all that power, wasted!

Azula

The Rasengan is incomplete. The Flying Thunder God technique is still evolving.

Azula

And that chakra reserve... no one in the Fire Nation could ever match it.

Azula

What a disappointment. I leave my world behind for this one, and the two shinobi worth studying get themselves killed.

Azula

(Father would call this weakness... becoming attached to potential assets.)

Azula

So this is what remains. A child with the Kyuubi sealed inside.

Azula

An infant, and yet already more powerful than most in this village.

Azula

This changes nothing. I've made my choice to stay in this world.

Azula

I'll rebuild this village and find whoever caused this destruction.

Azula

I wonder what the Hokage will think of my... proposal regarding young Naruto?

Azula

(The child of two exceptional shinobi, host to a tailed beast... under MY guidance? Perfect.)

Azula

Destiny has a strange way of working. I lost a kingdom in my world...

Azula

But I may have found something far more valuable in this one.
