[He slows, allowing the main hunting party to continue charging ahead through the treacherous woods without him. Though he originally joined them to search for the stolen lantern together, the shinobi senses his efforts might be better applied elsewhere. After wandering for a short period, he stumbles across the present scene: a young man ripe with the stench of death and decay, surrounded by corpses. Naruto warily scrutinizes Dimitri—trying to determine whether or not the lordling might have been responsible for killing these people. Judging by how rotted the cadavers are, he concludes they’ve been dead for quite some time.]
Could say the same thing to you, [he points out, drawing closer to inspect Dimitri’s work. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out what his new companion is doing, yet Naruto questions it regardless.] You’re…gonna bury them?
[Inexplicably, he is reminded of his youth—digging graves for Haku and Zabuza, so that they might rest peacefully together, for all that Zabuza claimed they would not be going to the same place in the afterlife. After a moment of consideration, he drops to his knees and begins to assist Dimitri. With only one usable hand, his progress will be slower, yet it feels important to do this traditionally than to employ chakra-arms through special abilities.]
I’m Naruto. [Briefly, blue eyes assess the blood dripping from the cut on Dimitir’s forehead. He ultimately chooses not to comment, though Naruto remains poised to intercept any additional leaves that might sail their way.] Who’re you?
