[Their eyes meet over the word and while Naruto knows he isn't supposed to react- it's hard not to. Nanadaime. Becoming Hokage one day had never been a child's dream because it had never been treated like one; Naruto had never forgotten about it, had never hesitated to mention it, and had never considered it anything but his inevitable future. But the reality is that despite his goal, there have been times where Naruto wasn't sure what would happen in the end. Bringing Sasuke back to the village, protecting Konoha, Akatsuki, the Fourth Shinobi War- there had always been something, and while he had refused to consider the job a possibility, he'd been faced with a far more sobering one. If, when the war was over, he still had to fight Sasuke- then they would die together.

In this moment it finally becomes real to him that a day will come when Naruto could have both.

It hits him like a sucker punch, leaving him momentarily breathless for happiness. One day, Sasuke will come back home- and all three of them will be together again.

His voice is rough when he speaks again, and Naruto turns his face back up towards the sky. Blinks the tears away.]


You aren't the only shinobi in Konoha. Another team could handle it for a week, and it'd be worth it to piss you off.
