“He’s been waiting for about five minutes now” She said, trying to convince her fool cousin to finally get moving. They stood atop Konoha’s walls watching the canopy that had been constructed as Uzume and the Kazekage sat across from each other while his guards remained around him and a bundle of cloth lay near his feet.
“Is everything ready?” He asked.
“It’s all been ready since the last time you asked about it, and even after that. Can we get moving already? Leaving a foreign and possibly hostile Kage alone with Uzume is giving me heart palpitations” She said. He turned to her with his classic quizzical look.
“You don’t think she can take him?”
“I think I don’t want to find out the answer to that question at our walls. This is the closest war has ever come to Konoha proper. If things go wrong, the results could be disastrous.” She said.
“Well, I think we can go now. We’ve done enough waiting and I’m just about done healing” He said, and then tapped her. She near panicked as she felt all her weight disappear.
“Don’t panic. Just stay still and try to look cool” He said, and then he shot into the air. She felt her body follow his as she felt far less graceful in flight than he did. Since when could he even fucking fly? And he hadn’t even warned her that they were doing this. They were so high up. There was nothing to break a fall with other than the unyielding ground. Oh that was going to fucking hurt.
She tried to turn her attention to anything else. Anything other than the ground. He looked good while flying, she realised on looking at him. Especially with the Hokage robes flowing around his form. Thankfully for her mental health she’d never developed the same crush on him that Uzume, Uraume, and Kizuru struggled with, but she could admit that she could see the appeal. If only he wasn’t so troublesome. Well that, and Uzume being murderous as all hell.
