Path Not Taken 95

Uzumaki Naruto

So that's it, huh? For all your talk, you couldn't back it up in the end.

Uzumaki Naruto

The Zero-Tails chose wrong when it picked you, Shinnō.

Uzumaki Naruto

A message from Granny Tsunade... That slug was pretty sneaky attaching itself to Asuma-sensei.

Uzumaki Naruto

(So the real mission begins now. All of this was just preparation.)

Uzumaki Naruto

At least Amaru and Asuma-sensei made it out safely. That's what matters right now.

Uzumaki Naruto

(They don't need to know about what comes next. This is my burden to carry.)

Uzumaki Naruto

So it's finally time... Village of Grass.

Uzumaki Naruto

(An S-rank assassination mission... Is this really what being a shinobi means?)

Uzumaki Naruto

I never go back on my word. That's my ninja way.

Uzumaki Naruto

Azula... I'm coming for you. Believe it.
