Sasuke: You write too much angst.
Kanoi: stares in disbelief at Sasuke
Sasuke: What?
Naruto: I don't think she can quite believe that you, of all people, said that to her.
Sasuke: What? Why?
Kanoi: YOU SENT THE WHOLE SERIES THAT MASASHI KISHIMOTO MADE NAMED NARUTO INTO AN ANGSTFEST!!!
Sasuke: …Was that supposed to be the disclaimer?
Naruto: …I think so…

Sakura stared in horror down at the rocks. Yamato squeezed her shoulder in what was meant to be condolence, but she was only aware of the blood staining his hands. She could feel it seeping into her core, and it made her sick.
The snow stung her red, blotchy cheeks. She choked on her own voice.
"I had to, Sakura. The Kyuubi was going out of control," Yamato said in her ear, but it all sounded so far away.
Sakura was only aware that Naruto was lying dead among the crashing waves with shuriken sticking out of his body like the spines of a porcupine.
