A/N: This totally just came to mind one day and I had to write it down. Supposed to be friendship but can be see as SasuNaru if you squint your eyes and stand one your head ;P
Tsunade stared in horror at the scene before her. The blood stained his armor and dripped from his chin to land in the wound punched through his stomach. It was obvious that he hadn't been dead for long. We were too late. I could have saved him.
Why? Why did everyone she ever truly cared about die? All of them... Tsunade stood there, tears flowing freely from her eyes. He look like he was just sleeping, despite the large wound. He sat at the base of a tree, his back against it and his head hanging down.
Slowly she walked over to him and kneeled before his body. Tsunade brushed the hair from his eyes and noticed something. For some reason, he was smiling. Not a large one, just a slight upturn of his lips. Seeing this brought a new wave of tears. At least, he died happy she thought, though it was extremely painful to think that he was truly gone.
Tsunade barely noticed as the ANBU arrived. At least two of them gasped as they gazed at their fallen squad leader. Tsunade stood and backed away, her eyes hidden beneath her bangs. One of the ANBU walked up and layed a hand on her shoulder.
"Hokage-sama." Hyuuga Neji said, hoping to gain some response from the woman.
Tsunade clenched he fists and her entire frame began to shake. "Hedid it." she whispered. The ANBU did not ask who she meant. Each one could reconize a katana wound when they saw one.
Four of the ninja stepped forward, including Neji. Tsunade reconized the purple hair of Hinata, the ponytail of Shikamaru, and the strange bowl hair cut of Rock Lee. Quietly they gathered up his body and headed towards the village, completely silent and with the other members following. Tsunade continued to stand there, her fists clenched and tears leaking from her hazel eyes.
Slowly she lifted her head to look at the bloodstained tree and saw something carved just a bit above where his head was.
I'm sorry, Rokudaime-sama
It was too much; she collapsed on her knees, not caring about the dirt and blood staining her pants. He, he knew. But how? It was true, she'd finally been able to convince the council and he was going to be named the Rokudaime in a week. But it was supposed to be a suprise, so he never knew.
Tsunade stood up and brushed the dirt from her knees and headed towards the village.
"Hokage-sama!" Tsunade turned to her left as she heard the voice of Inuzuka Kiba. She raced towards the direction his voice came from and stepping into a large clearing. His body was spread across the ground, obviously placed there with care. In the center of the clearing was another person.
His right hand was wrapped around a kunai, which had been stabbed straight through his heart. Blood still flowed from the wound, showing that he'd killed himself just minutes before they arrived.
Tsunade lowed herself onto one knee, her arm resting on the other. Suicide she concluded. From the corner of her eye she noticed a small section of the ground that was different that the rest. She turned her head and her eyes widened marginally.
Inches from Sasuke's left hand, four words were etched into the ground.
Wait for me, Naruto.
A/N: Yeah short. Review please.
