Path Not Taken 107

Tayuya

So you actually did it, you crazy bastard...

Tayuya

Killed the ruler of Grass without hesitation. Just like that.

Tayuya

Remember that stupid fair? You spent an hour trying to win this ugly thing.

Tayuya

(No one ever gave me something that wasn't meant to hurt others before.)

Tayuya

We could just leave, you know? Right now. Board some ship and sail away from this hellhole.

Tayuya

No more missions, no more killing. Just... us.

Tayuya

But those Akatsuki freaks won't stop hunting you, will they?

Tayuya

They'll chase us across every goddamn ocean until they get what they want.

Tayuya

You told me to live as I wish...

Tayuya

(So why does it hurt so much to finally be free?)

Tayuya

I'm keeping this ugly frog, Uzumaki. Don't you dare die before I figure out my own path.

Tayuya

Maybe then... we'll see if our roads cross again.

Tayuya

Goodbye, Naruto...

Tayuya

(Find me when your fight is over. I'll be waiting with this stupid frog.)
