Strings Of Destiny

It doesn't have to this way

"Oh...so you heard us I apologize Izumi can be quite loud" Naruto said but immediately Izumi stomped on his toes making him cry out in pain.

"I apologize..." Izumi said with her usual stoic face.

"...Anyway we're going to be setting off today Tsunami...I think us being here is just putting a greater burden on you that frankly you don't need...besides it looks like we may have overstayed our welcome" Naruto said as he heard Inari walking down the stairs he immediately glared at Naruto before walking into the kitchen to join his grandfather Tazuna.

"But before we go I have to make a quick stop to...stack up on supplies" Naruto said discreetly looking at Izumi and she nodded she knew what he was saying it was supplies for the medicine.

"I'll stay here and pack up everything..." Izumi told Naruto and he looked at her strangely before nodding.

When Naruto left Izumi stared at Tsunami for a few moments before looking at her feet what she was about to do was against everything she stood for her.

"Tsunami-san...I wanted to take this chance to talk to you...actually I've been trying ever since we've been here to find the right chance to talk to you" Izumi started as she looked at the floor before narrowing her eyes.

"What's the matter Izumi-chan?" Tsunami asked the young Uchiha it was very out of character from Tsunami's perspective for Izumi to be like this.

Instead of answering Izumi just slowly got down onto her knees and placed her head down so her nose was brushing the floor causing Tsunami to gasp in astonishment.

"Izumi-...chan?" Tsunami said out in astonishment.

"I had...initially wanted to come here because this will be the last time I'll ever be here and I couldn't go without letting you know how sorry I am for everything I...we did to you and your family, you showed us nothing but kindness and we abused that" Izumi apologized she knew there were many other people she would never be able to apologize to everyone she had inflicted pain on.

"Izumi-chan...I forgave both you and Naruto a long time ago, I can't say I know you both enough to know your personal lives but I'm sure there are reasons as to why you did what you did but I'm the leader of Wave now and if I can't forgive what sort of an example does that set to everyone here" Tsunami explained it was true she would never forget what Naruto and Izumi did to her...Kaiza and wave but she had moved on she had to she didn't want to carry on any sort of hatred or revenge.

Tsunami frowned as Izumi still stayed in her bowed position so she knelt down while placing her hand on Izumi's shoulder.

"You must have been through a lot" Tsunami muttered helping Izumi up and the black haired Uchiha just looked at her for a few moments before bowing her head one last time and walked back towards the room she and Naruto had been sleeping to pack up their things.

"They are surprisingly not as heartless as people make them out to be" Tsunami said staring for a few moments at where Izumi had been before deciding to get back to her daily activities.

Naruto waved to Tsunami as both he and Izumi left Tsunami's house they had bid a short farewell both with the heavy lingering thoughts that this would be the last time they would see this place.

"You never did tell me why we came to wave specifically" Naruto stated as the two carried on walking away from Tsunami's house.

Izumi frowned for a moment she didn't want to tell him that she had only wanted to come here to personally apologize to Tsunami.
