Oi, Mun, get off the floor already, will you?!

Rolling in a puddle of your own tears is all well and good, sure, but you have things to do, and so do we! I'm not going to sit here and complain about only getting one panel -- we're in the middle of war, don't forget. Don't you dare think I'm going to do anything but honor his sacrifice by still fighting, whether it's on-screen or not. That's what being a true shinobi is, and don't you dare think otherwise. Not only Neji, but any one of us would have done the same thing. Understand? So yeah we're going to keep fighting. Shikaku-san, Inoichi-san... everyone has worked hard to give us the ability to keep fighting. Time for mourning will come later.

You know we'll never forget them.

I need help scraping my mun off the floor. She won't let go of it, dattebayo.

[Tries to push away Mun that is attempting to hug him]

Or me for that matter.

[bunsofsteel]

Ugh, just leave her there then.

[Someone's lost patience with her mun.]

Seriously, you'd think they're on the battlefield with us!

[orange_dattebayo]

She keeps yelling "OHTHEFEELSNARUBBYYOUGREWSOMUCH"

...

I didn't get what she tried to say 'tebbayo. It was all mushed together.

[bunsofsteel]

...Yeah, wow, even mine's not that bad. She just kind of gets up, flops down on the floor, and starts to roll around. It's weird and more than a little alarming.

So hey, about that Chakra... think I could use that awesome fan, now?

[orange_dattebayo]

Hey... now that I think about it that's a really good idea, dattebayo! Do you know where it is!?

[bunsofsteel]

Ah... no. It's somewhere on the battlefield since they took it away from me the first time...

[orange_dattebayo]

Eeeeeeeeeeh!? NO WAY! We should get it back somehow!

[bunsofsteel]

I don't think there'll be time, Naruto. I've still got my scrolls, though! No matter what, we'll make them pay for this.

[screw_fate]

... Thank you, Tenten.

[What else can he say? It's all he can hope for, now.]

[bunsofsteel]

...It's not just you. Like I said, we'd all do the same thing.

But... you're welcome. If I can just get Lee to stop blubbering on you, we'll be all set.

[Not like she's not going to be in inconsolable tears later, but -- priorities.]

[screw_fate]

Lee is Lee, I'm afraid. There isn't much stopping him.

[But he'd really prefer not to be blubbered upon. That's focus that Lee's giving a corpse, not a live enemy.]

[bunsofsteel]

If he gets snot on you, you can't say I didn't try.

[Yeah, nope. Still can't really find the heart to joke about it.]

I'll get his head back on the battle, don't you worry about us.

[screw_fate]

I will endeavor not to be too terribly offended.

[How can he even be joking about this? But in some ways it's the easiest thing. Just... talk like it's nothing.]

If anyone can, I believe it's you.

[bunsofsteel]

Yeah. I won't let you down.

[Not with something silly like this, and not with anything else, either.]

[screw_fate]

I know you won't.

[His tone is far warmer than normal -- the warmth that he should have given her in life.]
