Dove and Grenade (Team Fuku & Zaled/NK)

The rest were wise to stay out of the active portion of this. Wisdom was not a rare trait. Zaled knew this well. However primrose let her emotions get the better of her. Did she not get what he asked Dante not even a couple moments ago. She was listening. So instead primrose got back up spewing over stuff that happend in the past. The loud wondering of why he was not around.

"I have a duty to follow primrose. Even viper had a duty. Not only to family but to a village. He was the shinobi. I am a knight."

Zaled spoke clearly to cut the girl off in her tracks. The running towards him in anger made him only shake his head.

"You want to go and tell me that family plays a part. It does it mesns that by doing your duty and not being reckless you and your a familyare safe. By just doing that prim you are doing your job. Still you insist that by me encroching when it isnt my place untill your guide is done. He is gone prim and what you want to show will not earn you anything, but what happened to him. Even he understood that in the end. Why fo you think we use our abilities conservatively prim? You are grown now think about it?"

Zaled stated as he gazed at primrose with an clearly dissappointed look.

"You can only protect people and lead if you have a sound mind. No ammount of technique power will teach that. Especially if in some showcase of strength if you are easily subdued like that? Do i have to do it again,?"

Zaled offered as he spoke go the uchiha girl

Primroses eye began to twitch! This man, her cousin didn't want to fight her, didn't even want to cause problems with any of her team in Volcano. He seemed as though he was there to help! Prims instinct was to keep fighting him until she felt some form of relief, some form of Justice, for what had happened to her. Prim didn't use to be like this! She was a kind hearted carefree person! Viper complained many times about Prims to carefree nature because it often caused her to get into all different kinds of trouble! The kind heartedness often took a back seat to being cold-hearted due to the nature of the events her carefree side got her into. But Prim was now not so care free anymore. She had turned her back on anyone and everyone, including her village! Even if she had wanted to go back to Konoha, she couldn't! Viper seemed to have left a bitter taste in the mouth of many people and she feared all to much that it would be taken out on her due to her being his only living descendant, even if it is just a cousin, she had always considered herself Vipers sister! Even Echo considered her family when he was alive. Now she is looking at the only living relative besides Kutari that she has.
The tears started to well up as Prim ran up to him and threw her arms around Zaled and she just let out all the pain and emotions she had built up! She knew Zaled cared about her and knew she was family and she knew he would make sure she was safe! She had to let all the hatred and pain she stored up just go! Viper was gone, Samuru was gone, Echo, Koroshi and Akina and all the people she considered family, even Nightshade...were gone. But Zaled was here,and Team Fukutaichou was here, and the others were in Konoha! She still had all of them! She had family and her team who needed her! She had more to look up to than she knew!
"I'm sorry Zaled!" Prim said in tears as she held him tightly in a hug! She had a very small frame but she still was quite strong, well as strong as she could be for now, she had lost a lot amidst her travels and needed to regain her strength and train. Maybe that's the whole purpose of her and Zaled finding each other!

Tori over heard Zaleds words and he couldn't have been more right! Maybe Prims pain had completely overcome her, she had been gone for so long and she had lost everything! Tori felt she had to, but Tori managed her pain a little better than Prim. Tori's pain did not become completely apparent until she got into talking about her story then the floodgates opened and the waterworks started. Yeah it's embarrassing but Tori had adapted to it and was use to it at this point and usually her listeners are sympathetic towards her. Maybe she should use this to her advantage? No, she's not a manipulator like that!
When Prim broke down and wrapped her arms around Zaled, it took all Tori had in her not to run to Prim and comfort her! No this was Zaled and Prims personal business and all it meant was Zaled had gotten through to Prim and that at this point they would finally come to an understanding, or at least Tori hoped so! Tori really liked Zaled a lot and Prim was someone Tori looked up to and she needed them both in her life. She didn't think she could handle losing either one of them.

Saya Kaguya needed a cigarette at this point. Maybe 2 or 3! She wasn't sure if she even had any! she did before she came to Volcano she knew she had purchased some in a small town near the black market before heading to Volcano Village!
Saya listened as Zaled spoke, and began to feel on the pockets of her red leather outfit! On the pocket of her upper arm she found her lighter. As she felt for the cigarettes now she realized that Zaled had a really good point! She hoped Prim was listening and wouldn't attack him again! Not like Prim would win, Zaled definitely had the upper hand on the situation.
"Finally!" She whispered as she found her cigarettes in a pocket on her knee high boots! Suddenly She saw Prim bursts into tears as She hugged Zaled! Major breakthrough! Definitely needed to happen! Saya lit the cigarette and took a drag off of it. She began to unwind as the tension left her body! Maybe now they could wrap up the family reunion and begin to rebuild the Village. That would definitely bring everyone back together, after all people who build a village build relationships...or something like that.

Dante thought the scene was touching, despite the fact he was never really close to his family, except Sephora because she was his twin. He tried to establish a relationship with Saya and he had one, but he was not closely bonded to her. He really wasn’t close to his father Sayomi like he had wanted to be. He admired him of course, in his eyes Sayomi was a true inspiration, not just his father but a mentor he looked up to! Very few people have made such an impact on him as his father, he never really cared much for his mother, he met her twice and really still wanted nothing to do with her!

On a different note, at least this shows everyone in his village would be able to get along. Which was important, because everyone in front of him would play an important part in rebuilding Volcano Village! He just hoped he could be as good a leader as his father, and after watching Zaled with Prim he knew Zaled could teach him a lot! Zaled was definitely the perfect choice for someone to help him run this village!

  Sephora watched as a very powerful Prim, caved in and hugged Zaled. Sephora remembered over the years how close Prim had been to Viper. In her eyes, Vipers death is what caused Primmy to finally snap. Prim had been through a lot and one of the things Primmy had been through, Sephora blamed herself for and that was Prims death! Luckily somehow Prim was brought back to life and she knew it had something to do with Asgard! Even though She had been a part of Prims death, Prim did not let that deter her from helping Sephora and being there for Sephora when she could.
Sephora smiled as Zaled and Primmy hugged!This was a huge step in the right direction towards many things; bringing Fuku back together, rebuilding the village and just Prim finding solace so she could be there team leader again! Not that there was anything wrong with Yensung Aburame, its just Sephora felt closer to Prim.
If they were to stay in Volcano Village they could do a lot here, this could be the new home village for Fuku and maybe they could find a way to connect Konoha and Volcano Village as allied villages! So many prospective advantages to look forward to if they could pull it off!

Prim finally had gotten the big picture. Well she would've much sooner if she took more time to listen. But how many people rationslly think when angry? That was really the big question.

He held prim close and let her sob out her emotions.it was a curse to live by anger and fury alone. Because you probably more likely than not. Had everything flung out beneath your feet. Sn jnfortunate case but zaled had to keep the cool. There was no point to randomly point figures,and just tharsh out. That alone was counter productive as a leader, but then again prim had not lived that long to have her actions taught in the cruel reality. It alone explained the state of her team. Strung together by belif,but never tested to the elements and the losses the world gives.

It was more an mental shock to him how her group was still calm.aside from one lighting a cigarette. The rest merely watched like observing a play. Still it would all be addressed in due time. In the moment he rubbed prims back softly and softly brushed her raven hair like an caring father. As he did not need to speak now as he let prim cry as much as she needed.

at least she has people she can be open with on an emotional level.do she won't rot on the inside out from greif. Still.

Zaled thought as he let her rest her head on his shoulder.she was done with the indepth talking now and his focus returned to the boy dante.

"In many ways you have potential, but birthright or being raised isnt what grants position. That is why you will find that untill you pass my trials you will be unable to lead fully. Because i will be honest. Face value in customnary bowing, and talking the big game of lives in your hands are two diffrent games. In thst i neither see these two things, as right now i sm a forgin shinobi. What would you do if your land was only gaurded by the rate it is? That alone is what will get you and allies killed.you lose your home if you yourself cannot be the show of power that iscrespected by even forgin interests. Because if they spot weakness they will only assumilste you. Wether by destroying your peoples trust in you. Or the idea you have. Through physical force,mental,or even the combination of the many ways to dismantel an shinobi nation."

Zaleds words were direct as he would still adress the boy point blank.

"So what do you have to show now young man?"
