They walked, and they walked, and they walked. Until the brightly light afternoon sky transitioned into dimly lit shades of pink and orange. This, however, was almost drowned out by what appeared to be a storm not too far from where they were at the moment. Minato stared up at the water-like colors, coming to a stop in a small forest clearing. The trees around them stretched upwards, but no canopy sat above their heads, they had a full view of the star filled sky that sat above them.
'Hey Kakashi' Minato began as he gave the area a quick once over with his eyes. 'I think we should camp here for the night.'
Kakashi looked around and nodded, they did need to stop and rest at some point, and now was just as good a time as any to set up camp.
It wasn't the best looking camp site, a fire and a couple of logs to sleep against was all they could rustle up. It's not like fluffy white pillows and were just laying around the island.
Their time on the island had been relatively uneventful, sure there were a few bumps in the road but, other than that, they hadn't really stumbled upon much else. This left a seed of disappointment within Minato, he had hoped to do something for Teucer.
'Minato...' Kakashi spoke, interrupting the man's train of thought. 'What was dying like?'
His companion's question shocked him, he couldn't find the words to describe it right away. He had been caught off guard by the silver haired shinobi's question.
'Well…' Minato began, searching for the right words. 'There was a lot of blood loss. I guess it really didn't feel like anything but numbness…' the golden haired man's voice trailed off as he remembered being run through by the fox's claw. 'then… then nothing. I lost consciousness and that was it.' Minato crossed his arms as he finished his explanation. He stared at Kakashi, wondering what was going through his mind, as his companion stared into the fire.
'Why did you want to know?' The blonde asked as the masked man just stared into the light, returning his question with nothing but silence.
'Because if you're thinking about Obito and Rin-' the former hokage began before being interrupted.
'No.' The scarecrow-like man interrupted. 'It's not that. This task just seems more like a competition. There are others on this island just like us.' Kakashi began to explain. His assumptions seemed to be correct, and Minato had come to the same conclusions not so long ago.
'But if there's even a slight chance that we will be killed soon… I want to be prepared for it.' Kakashi finished.
His former protégé was right. They would need to be prepared for a situation like that. Hell, he had known that there was a high possibility of death when he had gone to fight the Nine Tails. He hadn't expected to come out of the fight alive, and that had helped him come to terms with his fate.
Minato nodded, he didn't say anything else, he didn't need to say anything else. A nod was good enough for Kakashi. He just leaned back, against the log, and shut his eyes. It was time to get some sleep.
