Path Not Taken 37

Tsunade

I can't even enjoy my sake tonight...

Tsunade

(Did I make the right decision sending him to her?)

Tsunade

Azula... we were once inseparable. What happened to you?

Tsunade

Your ambition always burned too bright...

Tsunade

I've already seen the look in his eyes changing. That same fire...

Tsunade

But Naruto has something you never had - a heart that truly cares for others.

Tsunade

I won't let you burn down the ninja world, Azula!

Tsunade

And I won't let you corrupt that boy's spirit!

Tsunade

Three years... that's all he has to master the Nine-Tails.

Tsunade

And that's all I have to prepare for what comes after.

Tsunade

(Am I any better than you, Azula? Using him as a weapon against you?)

Tsunade

No. I need a clear head. The sake can wait.

Tsunade

The future of the ninja world might rest on what happens next.
