But Pakura soon calmed down.
"That won't work. Sunagakure raised me. If I stay here with you, what would that make me? A deserter?" Pakura murmured.
Pakura still felt deeply attached to Sunagakure. Even if she hadn't, her convictions would not have allowed her to love Uchiha Yin.
That was why she had made such a painful choice.

"Don't worry. Once I return to Sunagakure, I'll never marry."
"I'm sorry
