Minato did like the lake. And he liked too that there was a little ceremony taking place and that he got to be a part of it. He had brought his own lantern that was rather plain save for a blue butterfly on the outside of it. It was plain since he needed enough room to write on it, even if he wrote everything on the inside of the lantern.

He did have his blue pen with him that he liked to write it. He had written all of these names though, and it almost looked like just a collage of kanji as there were so many of them. But they were on the inside since he intended the names to be for himself.

But he did have space for one more name. He wasn't sure if he should write it though. He'd leave the up for debate.

Since he had his lantern, he did go around the crafts table to see if anyone needed help.

And when it was the right time, he was standing near the mouth of the stream where it met the lake. He waited though with his lit lantern, waiting for anyone else to release their lantern too so the lanterns wouldn't go off alone.
