Chapter notes: • Sakura heard Katsuro mutter, “Hai, Taichou,” before storming back over, eyes down, deep in thought.

Chapter 5 Notes
Chapter 5 – The Climb • “Don’t stop,” Katsuro said behind her. It had been the first she’d heard his voice in hours, and she wondered if the long walk had cooled his temper any. — Naruto in Part 1 could be pretty grouchy, so Katsuro has a healthy temper, but without some of the […]
