"The fall of Uzushio collapsed our economy, our protections. You might think I'm being rosy, but they really cared about us. And they knew how to party. You know they had a seal that could swap body parts? Wildest night of my life,” the boatman’s eyes go distant for a long moment, “...but you kids are too young to hear about that. “Anyway,” he continues, “our economy’s been a shambles since; maybe gets going for a year or two before it collapses again. No security of stability, so assholes like Gato think they can waltz in here and take charge. Boy, he'd be singing a different tune if the Uzumaki were still around." Sakura’s eyes widen a bit at that, and even Sasuke looks up. Naruto opens his mouth to say something, but Kakashi puts a firm hand on his shoulder. “What an… illuminating piece of history,” says Kakashi, “Thank you for sharing.” ----- (Kiri may have won the battle, but not the war. The island of Uzushio might not be as dead as previously believed. All Kakashi knows now is that he really should have refused that mission to Wave. An island lives, people change, foxes laugh, and Team Seven goes on a wild journey!)
