Fire is a rash, intimidating element. Red is a loud, bold, demanding colour.

Wind is a quiet, sneaky element. Blue is a careful, intelligent, deceiving colour.

Uchiha Sasuke does not depict his element. He does not wear red, save for his Sharingan-crimson eyes. He is not rash, intimidating, loud, bold and demanding. He is quiet, sneaky, careful, intelligent and deceiving. He reflects his opposite, and he knows this.

Uzumaki Naruto does not depict his element. He does not wear blue, save for his everyday-cerulean eyes. He is not quiet, sneaky, careful, intelligent and deceiving. He is rash, intimidating, loud, bold and demanding. He reflects his opposite, and he knows this.

They should switch. They would switch, but they won't and they won't because it reminds them of each other. Sasuke looks at his navynavy clothes, and can see his enemyrivalbestfriend's blueblue eyes. Naruto looks at his orangeorange clothes, and can see the flames of his bestfriendrivalenemy's redred Katon.

They are each other's everything. Beginning, middle and end. Smileslaughterlovetears and bloodsweathatetears. They are the closest of friends and the most hateful enemies. They are each other's reason for living, and reason for dying.

Because in the end, if you combine wind with fire, you'll get ashes.

(their cold, stony bodies lie nearly twenty feet away, bloody and twisted and depleted of life and chakra and feeling, but his redred eyes are open to the sky, and his blueblue eyes are open to the ground, and there's a permanent smile on both of their faces)

Just graygray ashes from the redred flames and blueblue winds.
