Naruto: Shadow Demon

"Children are hope. They do not delight in the spring breeze, are not startled by summer cicadas, do not grieve over autumn's fading, and do not sigh at winter's snow."

"You are Konoha's hope, inheritors of the Will of Fire, and the future that carries Konoha's skies. Even if I die, you must live."

"Teacher Sarutobi, Konoha has nurtured too much sorrow, and your death cannot change the times. Konoha's leadership... needs new blood!"

I have no regrets about becoming a Hokage fan in this life; in the next, I wish to go to Konoha.

PS: The story develops at a relaxed pace. If that's not your thing, please don't flame me, okay?
