A/N: You can decide if it's NaruSasu or just NaruSasu friendship. Anyway be kind my first Naruto Fic.
In the End
How long a go was it that I and my team mates fought each other? How long has it been since we did our first real mission? How long...
To long, damnit. To long.
Most of my friends are dead and buried; others are nearing death and me? I'm alive, healthy and looking like someone in his late twenties. I suppose I can blame Kyuubi for this but the fox demon never choose to be sealed and neither did I choose to be used as its vessel.
So I cannot blame him even if I wanted. I remember what Sasuke said to me before he died
"I always knew I would die, everyone and everything must die in the end. I'll wait for you, Naruto. I'll wait forever if I must"
I have done as you asked Sasuke but I've grown wary. How many more beloved ones do I have to watch grow up and die? How many more grave do I have to visit?
I'm tired Sasuke, I'm tired of this existence. I'm tired of it all. Ha! Bet you never thought you'd hear me say that, huh?
Ne, Sasuke! Good news your great-grandson Ryu and his wife have twin baby boys; they look a lot like you Sasuke.
I miss you Sasuke, you and Sakura and the rest of the deceased Rookie 9. I miss everyone. And soon I'll be the only one of the Rookie 9 you see, Sasuke. Neji is fading from this world. I can feel it and I know he feels it to.
He won't see his great-granddaughter's fifth birthday; I know he wanted to be there because he told me so. Sasuke, I don't want to loose Neji, just like I lost you and the rest.
It's not fair!
But then again life never was fair, right Sasuke? You and I both know it never will be fair either.
I think I'm going crazy, Sasuke. Yeah I know I know. I, Uzumaki Naruto crazy? Old news. Yesterday I swear I heard Iruka –sensei whisper goodnight to me like he used to.
I sound stupid don't I Sasuke? Talking about ghost's and stuff. But I can't help it. I miss you guys.
Do you know what hurts the most? Seeing your great-grandchildren acting like we used to act. Mind you they don't have our pasts and childhoods but still...
"Hokage-sama?" Blue eyes left the gravestone before them and turned to the source of the voice. A teenager stood nor far from him looking nervous at him. A smile appeared on the hardly aged face. "How can I help you, Kyou-kun?"
"Ji-san asked for you, Hokage-sama" The Pillar of Konoha nodded and turned to the gravestone. 'We'll continue our talk another time, Sasuke' He thought and followed the young Hyuuga member.
"He's going to die isn't he, Hokage-sama?" The teen suddenly says his voice filled with sadness.
Naruto could only give the boy a sad smile and answered.
"Everyone and everything must die in the end"
