Hakumei/Heartwarming

""Hello, Sasuke.""
 * Kiba and Akamaru's conversation after Kimimaro curbstomps them in the preliminaries, and Kiba echoes Naruto's promise in the canon wave arc to redefine what it means to be a ninja.
 * A rather sad and somewhat disturbing heartwarming moment: After singing the other 8 to sleep, Tsunade notices that Gaara is still awake, thanks to his seal. After talking it over a little, she knocks him unconscious.
 * Itachi holding Sasuke after he was born. Especially considering that their father expected Itachi to hurt Sasuke if left alone with him.


 * covering and by extension, Hakumei's retreat.
 * Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Hinata, Neji and Sai trying to comfort Gaara after . It's incredibly awkward and made very obvious that none of them know what to say to him. But it's so genuine that it ultimately works anyway.
 * Naruto and Iruka's reunion.
