after battle discussion

Naruto just leaned against the tree as he listened to Tazuna story. He felt sad for wave he really did but this was not a mission for Genin. "Laying it on bit thick isn't he," Naruto said in his head.

"_Maybe but it just shows how **** he is," said Minato. "I get the impression that he is a proud man. So, to be willing to beg like this shows how **** he is." _

_"True," said Naruto. "Looks like Kakashi is about to cancel the mission." _

_"It would be for the best," _said Minato.

"I think we should continue," said Sasuke. "Yes, the mission is more dangerous than we believe. but the leaf village has a reputation of helping those who need it and turning back now would damage that reputation."

_"Think he actually cares or just wants to prove his strength," _asked Naruto.

_"While I want to believe it is the first it most likely the second," _said Minato.

"Um I agree with Sasuke," said Sakura not looking at all sure of that decision.

"Interesting and what about you Naruto," asked Kakashi.

_"Wait is he actually considering this," _asked Naruto mentally.

_"It looks like it," said Minato. "I think there was more intel in the mission briefing than we were told. he may not be able to cancel the mission." _

"I think we can handle it. if Gato is as greedy as Tazuna says he is then I don't him hiring to many more ninja and little chance he would pay for one equal to you," said Naruto.

"Well, I don't know about that," said Kakashi. "But if you are all sure then we will continue the mission."
