Luca had been a little more focused on his actions then those of his comrades. The rain finaly trickled down, coming to a hualt. A dim low beam of sunlight shot over the valley, iiluminating the horizon. It was almost nightfall and they had not even made it half way to the border probably. Maybe i was too harsh on them he thought to himself. They are a few years younger then me after all he kept looking forward, not stopping to look back to check if the group was still behind him, but knowing they were. He had been quiet for some time now, concentrating on his past more so then the future. Naruto reminded him so much of himself at that age. But he seemed to be more 'put together' then Luca had been at that age. It was odd for a kid of that age to be so hyped about going into an unknown area where the chances of death were extremly high, specialy for someone of his rank. Another thing that had struck him as odd was the fact that he was, according to the guidelines, too low a rank to take on a mission such as this. But for some reason, the hokage had felt compelled to place him on the team, same for sasuke and Hinata. He would have figured that he would have at least been teamed up with jounin ranked nin for a mission such as this.
His movement was quiet, and his thoughts kept to himself. A sad look developed on his face, a look that came over him whenever he thought about how much pain he had went through, but how much he had accomplished as well. He was happy with his life, despite his look." Naruto" he spoke up not even bothering to look back" Gaara has a point, we just left konoha not even half a day ago." He pulled his mask up over his mouth covering his smile" But i admire your want to find the village already, that is something we share"
