With A Final Breath: A Naruto Fanfiction

As Uzumaki Naruto looked up at the sky he wondered what it would be like at his funeral. Would they cheer for his successful return of Sasuke to them? Would they celebrate the 'demons' death? Or would it be a mixture of the two with only his friends mourning his loss.
With a sigh he slowly rose to his feet with a great amount of popping and cracking and heaved the unconscious boy next to him on his back. He slowly began to stumble towards Konoha, knowing that he would only make it to the gates, and no more than that.
"You've been gone for quite some time Sasuke," muttered Naruto, with an intense gaze in his eyes, "We almost had given up hope of ever finding you."
Suddenly he clutched at his chest and blood sprang from his mouth in a coughing fit. He hunched over and waited for about a minute, letting some of the blood drain away. Then with a determined glare at the approaching village he began to move again.
He got as far as he thought he would, making it to the two chunnin guarding the gate before collapsing for good. He thought he saw his friends running for him, yes, there was Sakura, Kiba, Ino, and Choji. Hinata, Shino, even that lazy bastard Shikimaru turned up. They were all here, these were his last moments and in them he gave them the only thing he could.
Naruto Uzumaki died from blood leaking into his lungs from a Chidori strike to the chest, he died on the ground in front of his village Konoha, he died smiling up at his friends.
Author Notes: Hey guys this is my first story ever so please review. I've long been a fan of Naruto going out to save something or someone and then dying, so this is my contribution (however lousy it may be).
