RAWR! The lonely branch at the beginning becoming a tree at the end truly breaks my heart. These two lost and colourless kids becoming friends meant that they were no longer alone. This is the true story behind the flashy ninja shonen we all know so well. I want these kids to be happy so bad. I grew up with them. I need them, for once in their life, to be truly happy. GIVE THAT TO ME, KISHIMOTO.
