Path Not Taken 120

Uzumaki Naruto

(I'm supposed to be meeting up with Kakashi and Sakura tomorrow but... she's the first person I run into?)

Uzumaki Naruto

So... what's been happening while I was gone?

Tenten

Don't look like that, I'm treating you out to Ichiraku's!

Tenten

Consider it a welcome back gift.

Uzumaki Naruto

And I'm sure it has nothing to do with wanting to know about my S-class mission.

Tenten

You got me there! But come on, can you blame me?

Tenten

A missing-nin for two years who returns from an S-class mission? You're the talk of the entire village!

Uzumaki Naruto

I can't really say much... Granny Tsunade gave me a gag order while she looks over the intel I brought back.

Tenten

What was it like training under Azula? I heard... you had to kill for that mission.

Uzumaki Naruto

It was hard... harder than I thought it would be.

Uzumaki Naruto

But I'm glad to be home.

Tenten

Just tell me what you can. No pressure, really.

Tenten

Now let's get some ramen! I bet you missed Ichiraku's more than you missed any of us!
