Path Not Taken 61

Uzumaki Naruto

We're getting close! I can sense Gaara just beyond that ridge!

Uzumaki Naruto

Just hang in there a little longer, Gaara!

Tayuya

Don't get too excited, moron. We still don't know what we're walking into.

Tayuya

(Six months left before he faces Azula... does this idiot even realize what's really coming?)

Uzumaki Naruto

Something wrong, Tayuya? You've been quiet the whole trip.

Uzumaki Naruto

Your mind seems somewhere else... not like you to miss a chance to insult me.

Tayuya

Mind your own business! Just focus on finding the sand freak.

Tayuya

(This curse seal burns every time I think about telling him. Damn that Azula!)

Uzumaki Naruto

I can see him! Three chakra signatures around Gaara... wait, something's happening!

Tayuya

Then stop talking and let's move! I don't want to miss this fight.

Tayuya

(After spending years with a psychopath like Azula, is he really the same Naruto? Or is he more like her than he realizes?)

Uzumaki Naruto

Let's go! Time to show these guys what we're made of!

Tayuya

Yeah... let's see what you're really made of, Uzumaki.

Tayuya

(Azula's puppet or Konoha's weapon? I guess we'll find out which one you truly are...)
