"talking"

"thinking"

"Kyuubi talking"

There at the base of the waterfall two figures stood.

"Did you know?" Said Sasuke "This place is called the Valley of the End."

"It's the perfect stage, right Naruto?" Sasuke inquired.

Naruto just glared at him.

"Yes, that's right, I did say there was no more talking." Said Sasuke " Then lets get this over with…this battle, The battle up until now!"

"Chidori"

"Rasengan"

They both leapt up into the air Sasuke's wings flapping, Naruto's tail flowing behind him.

"Chidori/Rasengan!"

As their attacks collided a large purple orb was formed where Sasuke hit Naruto in the chest and Naruto made a scratch on Sasuke's forehead protector.

In the forest not too far away Kakashi was going as fast as he could guided by Pakkun, Kakashi.s eye widened "This Chakra is…this is bad."

The orb disappeared and Naruto was lying on the ground with his eyes closed and Sasuke stood over him staring down. Sasuke's head band loosened and fell with a clank on the ground.

"Naruto…I…" he felt a drop of rain and looked up. It started to rain harder. Sasuke was still looking at the sky. His arm had a sudden pain and he fell to his knees and coughed up blood, his head hovering over Naruto's.

Off in the forest Kakashi was still moving as fast as he could, "Rain, did you lose their scent?" Kakashi asked Pakkun "I'm fine, we're closer, this way."

They jumped down the cliff to see Naruto's body lying there alone.

"We're too late." Said Kakashi.

"Naruto." Pakkun said in a concerned voice, "Why did this have to happen?"

Kakashi walked over with a sad look on his face, while Pakkun was sniffing the headband that was lying next to Naruto "Its Sasuke's."

Kakashi gets on his knees and stares at Naruto then closes his eyes. He picks up Sasukes headband and places it on Naruto's stomach, and picks him up. "I'm sorry…for not getting here on time." Kakashi said sadly, "Naruto, you were…desperate, weren't you?"

Kakashi turned his head in the direction Sasuke went "Sasuke."

"The Valley of the End…I never would've imagined Sasuke and Naruto would fight here." Pakkun said, "Its ironic"

"Yeah" said Kakashi "When I watch this river flow, it's as if I'm seeing a battle that will carry on for eternity, never once stopping…Just like the fate of the two represented by these statues, they who created Konoha. Naruto and Sasuke…as long as they live."

Naruto stirred on Kakashi's back and opened his eyes.

Sasuke off in the distance looks back and thought of what his brother told him years ago "Your closest friend, you must…kill him" "No! I will not do what you want, I will gain power in my own way."

"The rain has stopped." Said Kakashi.

"That rain…we can't follow his scent anymore, besides, before we go after Sasuke, we should tend to Naruto first." Said Pakkun

And with that they headed back to Konoha.
