The last-standing Uchiha was laying painfully in Naruto's arms.
"Why...?"
That question that always seemed to be asked.
"Why did you take the hit for me!"
"Because you're a dobe."
Sasuke's weak attempt of chuckling turned into a bloody cough.
"Don't die...You have to watch me become the Hokage so I can rub it in your ass!"
"Everyone has a time...when they die..And my time has finally come.."
"Just hang in there...you'll make it!"
"Usuratonkachi...promise me a few...things."
He smiled,scarlet matted blood flowing down his chin,his onyx eyes no longer showing hatred-vengeance-loneliness.
"...Anything."
"Say sorry to Sakura...and Kakashi...for me..."
"...Mhm.."
"Don't..mourn in front of...the grave..like Kakashi...does for...Obito."
"Sure..."
"Don't..blame yourself...for my death.."
"...I'll try..."
"Last..of all...Become the best...Hokage this village has ever seen...promise me that..will you?"
"..Yeah."
Sasuke weezed out a blood-filled cough,panting hardly.
Tears glistened in the dark.
He let out a final breath.
Shaking knees wobbled for a attempt to stand up.
The blonde choked on his tears,as he failed to save a,
...Teammate...
...Friend...
He died with a smile on his face.
