Several days ago,
Location: Unknown
"Orochimaru-sama, the cranial control rod is ready for surgical installation."
"Save it for our next pawn Kabuto, this one is to serve a special purpose… I only require control of her body. Her mind is to remain free."
"Orochimaru-sama, if that is to be the case, she may break free of your control at some point, I'd advise against allowing her to keep her emotions."
"True… however, she seems to have some sort of connection to Naruto Uzumaki. I'd like to see what exactly it is, and whether or not I can use it to my advantage… The Jinchuuriki boy will prove of use to me in the coming months."
"… I suppose I understand where you're coming from."
"Kukukuku… oh you will. All in due time... For now, we remain in the shadows, an opportunity will present itself soon enough."
Kakashi kept his sharingan eye locked with Itachi's, they were walking in a circular motion, both ninja mirroring each other.
Itachi spoke first. "I'm here to warn you."
Kakashi raised his eyebrow. "Warn me about what?" They continued circling each other, about an arms' reach apart.
"Have you ever heard the name, Danzo Shimura?"
Kakashi narrowed his sharingan eye. "What about'im?"
Itachi paused. "The Uchiha Massacre… it's his fault it happened."
This bit of information piqued Kakashi's interest. "Interesting, but what's that got to do with me?"
Itachi spun the tomoe in his eyes. "Everything. He coordinated the massacre of the clan, public opinion would have you believe that I was a lone actor that night, but that isn't true. The massacre was actually an ANBU operation… does volunteer only SS-Rank ring any bells?"
Kakashi nodded. "I saw that mission posted… SS rank missions usually involve assassinations of Kage or other deniable operations... I suppose murdering one's own citizens would fall under such a category. In hindsight, I'm glad I chose not to sign up."
Itachi elaborated his point as they continued circling each other suspiciously. "Now… they killed off the Uchiha clan… what would one do with the eyes of the deceased members? Your first presumption would be that they were destroyed, but that is untrue, this is where Danzo comes back in."
Kakashi began to shift uncomfortably.
"I was able to kill most of the death-squad and destroy the sharingan eyes that they'd extracted. However, by the time I'd finished them, only about three quarters of my clan's eyes were accounted for, I believe Danzo is in possession of remaining few. See, my father was the mastermind of the impending coup d'état, he and his inner circle had devised a peaceful solution to have their demands met under the assumption that the Hokage was willing to listen. I was a double agent, so I reported this to Danzo, who had just taken over as Commander of the ANBU. I was unaware at the time, but Danzo wasn't invested in reaching a peaceful solution to the standoff."
Itachi placed his hands behind his back and looked off into the sky, the two ninja continued their circular pacing.
"The 3rd, desiring said peaceful solution, ordered Shisui Uchiha and myself to go to the meeting of my father's inner circle and offer an ultimatum, negotiation, or all out war. If both of us failed to return within the time limit, it would be understood as enemy aggression and dealt with accordingly. This was when Danzo opted to tip the scales in his favor, he attempted to have both myself and Shisui Uchiha assassinated en route to the Uchiha compound, thereby forcing the 3rd Hokage's hand. We were attacked by an ANBU kill-squad and they managed to keep us from even reaching the Uchiha summit. By the time I'd defeated the ANBU assassins, the assault on the Uchiha compound had already begun."
Kakashi was stopped in his tracks by Itachi's words, but the ever-cautious Copycat Ninja was not to be taken for a fool. "Your story may line up with the facts of the massacre, but that doesn't denote truth. What reason could you possibly have to be transparent about all this?"
Itachi stopped circling as well. "I'm dying Kakashi-senpai."
Kakshi froze in surprise.
"... Danzo will refrain from acting as long as I draw breath, but now, my days are numbered, he'll make his move as soon as word of my death reaches him… While I haven't been able to figure out exactly what he has planned, I do know that he needs both your eye, and either one of Sasuke's eyes, or mine. I told him that if anything happens to either you or Sasuke, I'd expose and kill him."
Kakashi crossed his arms. "There's something you're not telling me."
"I have my reasons… I will reveal this to you though."
Itachi tossed a scroll to Kakashi. "That's a written outline of Akatsuki's goals and operative movement for the remainder of the quarter, it also contains the specifics of Danzo's involvement in instigating the Uchiha massacre. Get that scroll to Tsunade so she can read it, and tell her to leave it with Jiraiya for safekeeping."
Itachi pointed to Kakashi's eye to frame his final point.
"Most importantly, keep that eye of yours safe, I don't know who it belonged to, but it's special. Kakashi-senpai, that Mangekyou is very unique, and I believe that Danzo wants it for something. Sadly, the Akatsuki still has use for him, so I can't exactly assassinate him at my leisure, watch your back."
Itachi turned to leave, but froze for a moment, he delivered an ominous and cryptic line.
"Kakashi-senpai… be weary of red-eyed crows."
With that, Itachi disappeared in a swirling mass of the aforementioned black birds, leaving Kakashi to deal with his catatonic teammates.
"…Red-eyed crows huh?"
The glare of the sun obscured the perched figures, but Naruto knew who they were right away. Naruto somersaulted out of Sakura's grip and drew his orange blade.
The rescue team cycled their eyes between Naruto, these two new figures, and Kisame's frozen visage.
Naruto took some wobbly steps forward and chided up to the shorter of the two. "Impeccable timing was always your thing, wasn't it?"
Sakura narrowed her eyes and nearly had a heart attack when her eyes adjusted to the sun's glare. "Haku? … Zabuza?"
Zabuza remained silent, but Haku chattered back down to Naruto. "It's great to see you again… But given the circumstances, this is not a time for reunion. I-"
Naruto sighed and finished her sentence. "-don't have control of my body… I know how you got here, and I'm going to make sure Orochimaru pays for dragging you back into this world 'ttebayo!"
Naruto's red eyes locked with Haku's, and before he knew it, he was nostalgically trading blows with her in a taijutsu match. He saw Zabuza zoom past himself and Haku and he began to engage Sakura, Shikamaru, and Mitsuki.
Haku gave him a forlorn stare as they blocked, dodged, and countered each other's blows.
Her voice was soft and full of pain. "Naruto… I... "
Naruto felt his heart shattering all over again, staring at her pained expression while she attacked him.
"My body is moving completely on its own, I… can't make it stop."
Naruto caught her fist and she flipped over him to counter his leg sweep.
"Haku-chan, it's fine... All things aside, there's something I meant to ask you that day." They traded punches and kicks, almost as if they were dancing.
Haku would have smiled at Naruto if it weren't for their horrible circumstances at the moment. She sighed, if she hurt Naruto in any way, she'd never be able to forgive herself. Despite the fact that she could shoulder no blame for the present situation, she felt obligated to take responsibility for the safety of her precious people, even in death.
Haku incentivized Naruto to stay focused. "Naruto, if you can defeat me, you shall have your answer."
Naruto reluctantly parried one of Haku's needle stabs with his ninjato and took a defensive stance. "Haku-chan, why're you always on the wrong damn side?"
She smiled back at him and took her own stance. "It seems that this is the only way to get your attention, Naruto-kun."
Naruto gave her a forlorn smirk. "So you got jokes now, huh?"
She smiled back. "Naruto, show me what you've learned."
Ino's pouty expression make Kurenai's heart ache out of empathy. She knew what it was like to feel like you were falling behind the competition, though, not in this aspect of life.
Asuma offered to treat the Yamanaka heir to Korean BBQ since she wanted to chat about her "Naruto Dilemma", Kurenai was along for the ride, as a woman's perspective was crucial in receiving advice of this nature.
Several minutes into the meal, the pouty Ino finally began to spill her guts. "I uh… I've been doing what you said Asuma-sensei, you know, thinking less."
Asuma dropped more meat on the grill. "How's that been workin' for ya blondie?"
Ino pushed the food around on her plate. "It's been working wonders, but I think, I've hit a roadblock."
Kurenai jokingly piped in. "Did a new girl throw in her bid for Naruto?"
Ino groaned. "Three actually…"
Asuma started to choke on his beef, Kurenai patted him on the back. The red-eyed Jonin stared dumbfounded at the young blonde girl.
"I was only joking Ino. Who are they?"
Ino fidgeted uncomfortably. "Well, I heard through the grapevine that he'd been seen around town with the 5th Kazekage hanging on his arm. She was that scary redhead from the chuunin exams, and apparently she'd always had a thing for Naruto…" Ino groaned and slouched down in her seat.
Asuma, after surviving his 2nd close call with food, fed his morbid curiosity with another question. "Damn, so he's got borderline royalty trying to hunt him down. Who else?"
Ino sunk further downward. "Hanabi Hyuga wants dibs on him as her future husband."
Kurenai shuddered at the mere mention of the girl's name. She had the pleasure of seeing Hanabi utterly dismantle and demoralize Hinata in a sparring match a few years ago. She was cold, calculating, and most likely an evil mastermind.
Asuma raised an eyebrow at his student. "Sooo… you're afraid of a little girl in this competition of yours?"
Kurenai looked at Asuma with a weary expression. "You probably haven't met her before if you're discounting her as a threat... She's the one that used to make Konohamaru cry all the time when he was in the academy."
Asuma's eyes widened as he thought back, he'd pick a battered and bruised Konohamaru up from the academy each day. "So she was his mystery sparring partner! I could never get him to tell me who was beating him to a pulp every other day."
Kurenai nodded and turned back to Ino. "You're lucky she's still a little girl. Who's number three?"
Ino sighed. "Forehe-… Sakura Haruno. I went to her house one morning and Naruto opened the door. It was waaay too early to pay someone a visit, so it's likely he spent the night. I hadn't anticipated Sakura realizing that she liked him for at least another month since she's so stubborn. Her relationship with Naruto is the deepest out of all of us, and if she really wanted to, she could have him whenever she wants… she's either already figured it out, or she's real close to it."
Sakura had to hold in a sneeze while the three of them took a defensive formation. Zabuza's mist was thick enough to where you couldn't see more than 3 feet in any direction. Sakura narrowed her eyes, she could feel multiple figures darting through the fog, but couldn't see them.
Mitsuki's glowing green eyes startled both Shikamaru and Sakura. "He's over there, 2 o'clock from me... at least the real one is, I don't know if he's made clones or not."
Shikamaru questioned Mitsuki's claim. "You sure you see'im?"
Mitsuki swiveled her glowing eyes to the Nara boy. "I can see in the dark, I can see body heat, and I can also see electromagnetic fields. I guarantee that he's standing right over there, however… I've fought a few Kiri ninja before, they tend to use water clones in conjunction with this jutsu. Those, I can't see. The only clones I can pick out are of the lightning variety."
Shikamaru dug into his vest and pulled out a scroll. "Mitsuki-san, I'm gonna need your eyes, he'll have to dispel his clones if we attack the real one."
Sakura cracked her knuckles. "And how are you planning to do that?"
Shikamaru smirked as he retrieved a collection of vials from his scroll. "Just watch me work my magic... Mind making sure he doesn't cleave me in half while I get us out of this?"
Mitsuki readied an arrow in response. "No promises Nara-kun."
It had been about 30 seconds of silence when Shikamaru finished his concoction. The mixed liquids had congealed and hardened into a yellow powder, Shikamaru attached the vial to an explosive kunai and turned to the two Kunoichi.
"He hasn't made a move yet, so it's likely he's just here to slow us down. In light of that, we'll have to force him to get rid of this fog. This vial is full of powdered Sulfuryl Chloride, when it comes in contact with water, or even water vapor, the reaction releases Hydrogen Chloride gas, and Sulfuric Acid."
Shikamaru smirked at Sakura and Mitsuki, as if expecting applause.
Mitsuki broke the silence. "Um, Nara-kun? Now's the part where you make sense, Shinobi Applied Chemistry is an optional course in the ninja academy."
Sakura silently agreed as she continued to scan for water clones, or even Zabuza himself.
The Nara heir rolled his eyes and explained. "If the contents of this vial mix with this mist, we'll have a giant cloud of not only poison gas, but also acid vapor. He'll have to get rid of the mist if he doesn't wanna end up a bloody puddle on the ground."
Shikamaru blinked, when his eyes closed, they were fine, when they opened, Zabuza was face to face with Shikamaru, he had a death grip on the vial-strapped kunai.
"Let's test that, shall we, gaki?" Shikamaru could see him smirking beneath the mask of bandages.
Sakura and Mitsuki whirled around, Sakura aiming a punch while Mitsuki released a poisoned arrow. Zabuza defiantly deflected the arrow off his sideways forehead protector, and swatted Sakura's incoming freight-train of a punch, directly into the ground with his off-hand."
The ensuing explosion of rock and dust destroyed the vial, releasing the yellow powder into the air. An errant stone from Sakura's destructive punch slammed into the side of Mitsuki's skull, she immediately dropped to the ground like a sack of bricks. The Zabuza that attacked them scoffed and exploded into a shower of water, drenching the three. Shikamaru's eyes widened as the air around them began to turn into what was essentially mustard gas.
The boy cursed. "Not good, not good! Mustard gas fucking sticks to moisture! How in the seven circles of hell did he even hear what we were saying?!"
Zabuza's voice echoed through the yellowing mist. "You're not the first one to try that trick, I suggest you start moving before the mustard gas gets to you."
Sakura shuddered as she carried an unconscious Mitsuki out of the large crater she'd inadvertently created. "Mitsuki's hit!" Sakura saw blood begin to run down the side of Mitsuki's head. "… bad." " We've got to get out of this mist, there's nothing I can do about mustard gas. Shikamaru, you'll have to stabilize her, can you do that?"
Shikamaru became worried. "Sakura? Why do I have to stabilize her?"
Sakura gave him a defeated smile. "I'm the only one strong enough to throw you two outside the radius of this gas cloud… Other wise, we'd all fall back in if we tried to jump out. We'll go up in the air, and I'll throw you to safety."
"You're gonna fall back in… Call Naruto and hope he's fast enough to you in time, if the medic goes down, we all do."
Shikamaru ripped his long sleeve off and tied it around his face. He yanked the other off his arm and handed it to Sakura, she hastily tied it over her lower face as the gas began to envelop them. The medic pointed up and leapt into the sky, Shikamaru was close behind. Sakura spied a tree outside the reach of the now poisonous gas, and flung Mitsuki in a large arc in that general direction. In mid-air, she grabbed a protesting Shikamaru by the wrist and flung him on a flatter trajectory so he'd catch Mitsuki before she hit her head on something again. Sakura began to feel an unnerving terror as she fell back to the ground; the cloud of yellow gas began approaching faster and faster.
Sakura let out a blood-curdling scream that echoed throughout the battlefield. "NARUTOOOOO!"
Naruto side-stepped a torrent of sharp icicles to see Sakura plummeting helplessly into what seemed to be a cloud of yellow gas. Naruto, not having many options, reared back and chucked his sword as hard as he could, he then returned to engaging Haku.
After dodging a fist covered in ice, Naruto yelled to the falling girl. "SAKURA! CATCH IT!
Sakura saw the bright orange blade glint due to the sun, and miraculously, managed to catch it without losing a finger
Time stopped around Sakura, she looked down at the mustard gas, and she could see it swirling around a clear patch of grass. A skinless and demonic looking Zabuza Momochi awaited her on the ground in the eye of that yellow storm. He appeared fully prepared to cleave her out of the air with his giant sword. Despite all of his skin having been melted off, and also the fact that he'd probably been breathing Hydrogen Chloride gas, he didn't seem bothered by any of it, his blank expression would have one believe that he was rather indifferent toward the pain.
Sakura shuddered at the mere thought of the beast of a man that Zabuza was. Even with her strength, she imagined that 90% of the possible outcomes in a fight between them would involve her being cut in half. She floated there for a moment, and then she felt the sword pull her through the air at a leisurely pace. She seemed to phase through rocks and trees, even flying through the frozen sphere that contained Kisame, it was as if she were a ghost. The sword finally stopped moving when it reached Naruto's hand, there was a short pause, and then time resumed as normal, Sakura was summarily pounced on the shoulder by one of Haku's ice-gauntlets, she was sent skidding off to the side into a sticker bush.
She could hear a frantically dodging Naruto call out to her. "Sakura-chan! Get the ice off of you ASAP!"
The dazed and confused girl didn't know what he meant for a second, at least until her shoulder started to feel extremely cold. She looked at it and her eyes widened, it was a dark shade of purple, with ice crystals sprouting from the affected area, it was slowly, but surely, spreading down her arm, and across her clavicle bone.
Sakura punched and clawed the ice off of the frostbitten area of her shoulder, but the damage had been done. Her shoulder was now frostbitten, effectively removing her from the fight until she could heat it with something. Sakura dragged herself from the sticker bush and took cover behind a tree.
She watched pained expressions on Naruto and Haku's faces as they battled to the death once again.
Haku crumbled the ice gauntlet from her left hand and preformed a half hand seal, several ice-mirrors appeared, flanking her on both sides. The mirrors levitated and spun to face Naruto, whose eyes widened when the mirrors began to fire icicles and senbon needles. Naruto funneled some chakra into his legs and made a move to jump out of the way. Suddenly, a wave of pain zipped along his spine, and he only jumped a few feet to the left as opposed to completely out of the way like he'd originally intended.
Naruto crossed his arms in front of his face and was summarily shredded by the torrent of needles and ice.
Haku yelled in agony, she looked about ready to cry as she continued to fire on his stationary form, she could see the blood beginning to pool beneath him.
"NARUTO! PLEASE, GET UP!"
As if on cue, there was an explosion of red chakra, and up stood Naruto, looking no worse for wear. Three tails of chakra were coming out of the base of his spine, and he crossed his arms defiantly.
He raised his eyebrow at her. "Don't underestimate me so much Haku, it'd take way more than that to put me down. I see now that that body of yours is trying to kill me… I just can't bring myself to fight you like this... even with Gaara-chan's life on the line."
Haku continued fire needles and ice, but apparently to no effect. "… Naruto, we both know there are only two outcomes to this confrontation. Either you defeat me, or your team is wiped out, do what needs to be done."
Naruto's eyes widened, Haku's words reminded him a lot of the very words Kakashi had spoken to him on that bridge.
"Naruto, there was only one other outcome for this battle, and that was for Team 7 to be wiped out, you did what you had to."
Naruto wiped his misty eyes and gave Haku one last longing gaze. "My sensei told me almost exactly the same thing. I take back what I said to you then. Haku-chan, you truly are a ninja, you're not soft at all."
His expression went blank and he closed his eyes for a second, as if mentally preparing himself for what he was about to do. When Naruto's eyes opened, he zoomed straight at Haku, so fast, in fact, that an explosion of dust billowed from where he was at first standing.
Naruto's fist buried itself in Haku's stomach, causing her to gasp for air. Naruto got a disgusted look on his face and grabbed Haku's upper arms with his chakra shroud… He yanked outward until he heard both a snapping noise, and a crunching one as well. Lastly, Naruto delivered a kick to one of Haku's knees, dislocating it. This caused her to fall to the ground in a heap, and also, since her concentration had been broken, the ice mirrors that were futilely firing projectiles at Naruto, shattered.
Naruto straddled Haku's body as it struggeled beneath him, doggedly trying to attack him in some way, shape, or form. Haku looked up at him and sighed.
"Naruto… it's fine, the only thing that hurts is the fact that I'm trying to hurt you and I can't stop myself. If you want to talk, you know what needs to be done, you'll have to immobilize me completely."
Naruto shuddered and reluctantly formed a red rasengan in his hand. He shut his eyes and grimaced as he jammed the screaming ball of chakra into Haku's stomach. He could feel it drilling through the flesh, and finally, when he felt it sever her spine with a loud pop, her lower body finally stopped moving.
Naruto looked at the wound, and instead of a torrent of blood and guts, black sand seemed to pour from Haku's body. She was slowly beginning to break down into raw materials. Naruto's red aura of chakra dissipated, and despite the crippling waves of pain, he was still able to move through sheer force of will.
Naruto cradled Haku and touched her forehead to his; he shut his eyes as he spoke to her. "… Hey."
Haku closed her eyes and smiled as well. "I suppose my time is nearly up, what was it you wanted to ask me Naruto-kun?"
"Yeah… I uh… wanted to ask you that last night we shared in the forest, but I guess I couldn't gather up the courage to say anything."
Sakura stared at them intently, she couldn't quite hear what they were talking about, but the looks on their faces gave her an idea of what it could be.
"Haku-chan… what did I mean to you? I… need closure."
Naruto stared intently into her dark and lifeless eyes while she smiled up at him.
"Naruto-kun, in the short time we knew each other, I felt that you were the only one who truly understood my pain. Yes, Momochi-sama took me in and raised me as a child of his own, but he could never truly understand what it meant to be alone… you did. Naruto-kun, over those few days, you became one of my precious people, a friend, and I believe that you and I could have very easily become much more than friends. Naruto, I loved you, but you must understand that ship has long sailed. I'm dead, and now, all I want to do is rest, I'm just tired, tired of this world. Even though I've gotten the chance to speak with you again, there's nothing more painful and jarring than for a soul to have to experience things it can no longer obtain."
Tears began to roll down Haku's expressionless visage. "All it does is remind me of what I've lost, what could have been."
Naruto, who looked about ready to cry, hugged Haku's battered form. "Haku-chan, I promise you… I'll find a way to eradicate Edo Tensei so you can finally rest in peace. That's a promise of a lifetime, somehow, some way, I'm gonna do it."
Haku closed her eyes and smiled. "You don't understand how much it comforts me to hear you say that. Naruto, can you make me one more promise?"
"What is it Haku-chan?"
"When it's time for us to say goodbye, you have to promise me you'll move on from all this and live a happy life. You have too much to live for to waste your days away thinking about a what ifs and why nots, promise me you'll cherish and protect what you still have... as the Hokage."
With that, Haku went rigid and broke down into black sand. Her soul seemed to rise from the pile and it flew off to the north at an incredible speed, likely to one of Orochimaru's hideouts. Sakura, having managed to get close enough to listen to them talk, knelt down next to Naruto and hugged him with her good arm.
"You'll find a way Naruto, I know you will… Let me test your synapses again, it's likely your nerve damage was exacerbated by that little stunt you just pulled."
Naruto's eyes widened when he got a look at Sakura's affected shoulder. "Sakura-chan! F-frostbite!"
Sakura rolled her eyes. "I know."
Naruto reluctantly looked between his sword and his first love. "This'll hurt, but I can save you from it... It looks like it's… spreading?"
Sakura poked Naruto in the head. "No amputations will be necessary, all I need is you." Sakura turned bright red when she realized the implications of her wording. "That… didn't come out right."
Naruto's expression sunk slightly, much to Sakura's dismay, she tried to change the subject, but stumbled through the sentences. "A-alright, Naruto, you're a walking space heater, I… just need you to put your hands over the purple area and it'll go away. I-if I'm lucky, there won't be any nerve damage... –oh boy-"
Naruto twitched a bit and stared at the affected area. "Only if you promise not to hit me Sakura-chan."
A vein on Sakura's ample forehead bulged. "I know what I'm asking you to do. If you don't touch me, I swear I'm gonna-… That also came out wrong… Just do it!"
Naruto placed one hand on Sakura's shoulder, and stuffed the other into her bra, Naruto jumped in surprise, it was like touching an ice sculpture.
"Oi! Doesn't that hurt?! Some of your boob is completely frozen!"
Sakura shrugged and used her good arm to heal a gash on Naruto's face. "It did for a bit, but now it's just numb, and spreading too, this is no normal frostbite... Once I can move, we need to find Shikamaru and Mitsuki, she's hurt pretty bad, and I'm not sure how long he can outwit Zabuza and keep her alive."
Naruto looked down. "I wanna go help them, but If you're outta commission, we're all dead, damn."
Sakura silently nodded, she tried not to face Naruto because she didn't want him to see how red her cheeks were. It had been a few minutes before Naruto broke the silence.
"Heh! This time, you're poking me, Sakura-chan."
Sakura's entire face went red and her eyebrow twitched. "A-aren't you worried about Mitsuki at all?"
Naruto shrugged. "Sort of, you said that she was out cold, but you also said she's with Shikamaru. He can think his way out of anything, so she's in capable hands 'ttebayo. They'll be fine, right now, I have to get you combat ready." Naruto grinned. "…Just try not to cut my finger off with your nipple."
Sakura shut her eyes, and while making a slightly annoyed expression... She grabbed a nearby rock with her good arm and crushed it into dust.
"Naruto... Don't make me retract my promise to stop smacking you one... From what I've seen you could probably take it. In all seriousness, thank you for saving my life again, here I was thinking I'd grown beyond the damsel in distress thing."
Naruto wasn't listening anymore, he was too busy trying to hide the fact that he was pitching a tent in his pants. Sakura eventually caught on when she realized he was ignoring her. Laughing to herself, Sakura grabbed Naruto's free hand with her own and commented with a playful tone of voice.
"It's fine Naruto... It's supposedto do that, isn't it?"
The tension in Naruto's body finally relaxed and he began to laugh quietly, the shooting pain throughout his body made it hard for him to truly appreciate Sakura's attempt to lighten the somber mood, but hey, how many guys can say that they got a free pass to feel up their crush?
