Path Not Taken 88

Azula

I have a mission of utmost importance for you, Uzumaki.

Azula

The Sky Village has become... problematic. I need you to handle it.

Uzumaki Naruto

Finally! A real mission! What am I dealing with, Azula-sama?

Azula

Three objectives. First, properly seal the Zero Tail within its host, Amaru.

Azula

Second, eliminate Shinnō, the village's true leader operating from the shadows.

Uzumaki Naruto

Wait... eliminate? You mean...?

Azula

Yes, Uzumaki. Assassination. Is that going to be a problem for someone who claims to want to be Hokage someday?

Uzumaki Naruto

I... I understand. And the third objective?

Uzumaki Naruto

(Can I really take someone's life? Even if they're bad...)

Azula

Use this special scroll to collect the dark chakra produced by the Zero Tail. I wish to... study it.

Azula

(Let's see if the fox boy can actually kill when ordered. How will that change him, I wonder?)

Uzumaki Naruto

I won't let you down, dattebayo! But... why do you want the dark chakra?

Uzumaki Naruto

I know what darkness like that can do to people...
