Cassy POV

"Cassy, let's go help the eight tails," (Y/N) declares as we start to run deeper into the village while avoiding the chaos that the white Zetsu had caused.

"What's the plan?" I ask as (Y/N) shrugs

"Maybe I can help the eight tails just like I did with you," he says before he suddenly stops running.

"(Y/N)?" I ask surprised as I look back to see his eyes bleeding.

A weird shape had appear as the pupils in his eyes.

"Your eyes are weird!" I say as I notice they begin to bleed

"(Y/N)?" I ask as I begin to remember some stories he about me about the Uchiha's cursed eyes.

"Eyes that reflect the strength of one's heart," he once told me.

"Our eyes reflect how much we care for things. These red eyes are a testimony toward our commitment. They are often called the curse of the Uchiha, as many awaken their sharingan after emotion hardship...but there are examples where happiness also awakens our eyes," he once explained

"Your sharingan!" I say out loud as his eyes continue to look blankly toward the statue. Instead of the three tomoes that he usually has in his eyes, it was replaced with a hollow triangle spinning rapidly.

The flow of blood seeping out of his eyes increased as my heart begins to pound in my chest

"What's going on!" I ask him as silence answers my question.

Then...silence consumes everything. The sound of battle seizes to continue.

I look around to see the white Zetsu begin to disperse.

"What happened?" I ask myself as I notice the giant statue begin to whither away.

"It's going away!" I say in shock as I look at (Y/N). The triangle in his pupil was beginning to slow down. The glint in his eyes were fading fast too.

Then, he looked like he was unsteady on his feet.

"I...I," he begins as his legs begin to violently shake as they struggle to hold him up.

They finally gave out, but I rushed toward him to catch his falling body. I crashed into him as I protect his head from smacking the ground.

"Wow there!" I say as I try to untangle our limbs from one another.

"You good?" I ask worriedly as I lay him down flat.

"My eyes," he moans in pain as I feel something from deep inside me stir.

Girl...the power he holds over me has weakened

"What do you mean?" I ask in my inner thoughts as I recognize that voice. It was the one tailed beast.

I mean, whatever just happened affected whatever made me reasonable.

"His eyes," I mutter as he groans.

"I'm gonna open your eyes lids," I say as he shakes his head vigorously.

"No, no, leave them be," he says in pain as Kushina runs toward us

"What happened!" She asks as she kneels

"His eyes did something weird, and then everything stopped!" I tell her as she looks at the man.

Girl...I feel no pressure from that statue now, it is gone.

"What!" I yell out loud as Kushina jumps at my sudden scream

Yes...it is gone. I think the boy may have defected it...or at the very least, dispersed whatever power it had. The Zetsu also appear to be gone...I think that we are finally safe.

Kushina looks at me with surprise in her face.

"What happened?" She asks me as I look at (Y/N)

"We won," I say in a hushed voice

"Yeah...I mean they aren't here anymore," Kushina points out as I shake my head

"No...like we won, won," I say as she tilts her head in confusion

"The geto statue doesn't exist anymore..." I begin

"Which means that (Y/N) is done his mission," Kushina finishes as I nod

"Yeah...he can come back home," I say as the man is still pain. I don't think he really cares about this right now...but I'm sure he will when whatever he is suffering from passes.

"Ok, I'm going to chat with the Raikage and we'll head back seeing as we've accomplished what we needed to do here," Kushina tells me as I nod.

"Ok," I say as I move to comfort (Y/N).

I shifted his head onto my lap as he lets groans of pain escape his lips.

"It's ok," I try to reassure him as I stroke his hair in an attempt to calm him down.

"Shhhh," I whisper as I try to sooth him.

"It's all over now," I say into his ear so that he could hear me...finally his groans begin to slow.

"You can go back home and settle down finally...no more travelling for you," I say with a smile as my heart begins to throb...settle down huh.

I look into my memories for the past couple years, and I wonder if I had ever considered settling down with him.

He always cared for me, he took care of me after Martha and Conner died...he was there to help me, when no one could.

My heart begins to squeeze as I remember all of our adventures. The one thing that always eluded me comes crashing into my mind.

I love you

Those three simple words weren't only played in my head...I found my mouth moving when I thought of them.

One of his breaths pause after I said those words...oh no, what mistake have I just made.

Despite the pain he was in, he lifted his arm as tried to touch my check. Instead he ended up half punching me with little force

"Ouch," I say as his knuckles knock into my nose

"Sorry," he says as I grabbed his hand.

"Did you hear that just now?" I ask embarrassed as he nods

"I thought you hated me," he says as I couldn't help but chuckle a bit.

"I think that's impossible...we spent every second together for years," I mention

"Yeah...I guess so," he mutters as his eyelids begin to open.

"You said it hurts!" I say worriedly as he groans

"It does...it feels like fire. But I can faintly see you," he says I notice his eyes are coated in a film of blood.

"Then close them!" I say in protest as he smiles

"I want to see you," he says as my heart flutters

"Does that mean," I begin as he nods

"Yeah...I have the same feelings for you as you do for me," he finishes before his eyes clamp shut again.

"Well, what do you say? Your mission is over, we should settle down in the leaf...I don't know about you, but travelling all the time is exhausting," I say as I lower my head.

"Yeah...although it'll take some getting used to...I forget how not to travel all the time," he says as I smirk

"I think it probably will start like this," I mutter as I place my lips onto his

The End

Knotavin: Quite the journey eh? Our adventure of endless travelling has finally come to an end. This book was very much themed toward a man who was travelling and looking for something. Quite frankly, I like to think that even if (Y/N) wasn't banished, he still woulda travelled a lot. It was clear he was missing something, or in this case someone since the beginning. And thus, once he found it, the adventure ended. I think Cassy and (Y/N) will live a quiet life for the rest of their days in the leaf village. I will try to post an epilogue
