A/N: My first Naruto (character) based fic with a serious tone.

Disclaimer: I do not own this anime/manga.

With a kunai in his hand and chakra in his veins, Naruto swore to bring Sakura happiness, even if it killed him. He didn't care about anything else because this was for the girl he loved.

The girl he will love until the day he dies, which he fears might be near. With determination in his eyes, he wants to defeat Tobi, even if it ends with death on both sides, but only his from Konoha.

To be the hero was one of the things he dreamed of as a kid. Heroes were never ignored, and neither was he.

As he fought the Jinchūriki, he felt his power was drained, unable to do most of his jutsu. His sensitivity for negative feelings went up as he felt Sasuke come closer, as well as the masked man.

With this blade in his hand, he'll be a true soldier, a true shinobi. With his last breath, he will protect Konoha for his love and comrades.

Everyone trusted him, and he wouldn't let it go to waste. He'll win this for them, so that they wouldn't need to shed any blood.

Gaara, Hinata, Kiba, Shino, Shikamaru, Ino, Chōji, Temari, Kankuro, Tenten, Lee, Neji, Sai, and Sakura.

Naruto could feel the powerful chakra he was receiving from Kurama as he stood up straight, tightened his head band, and said to himself, "For Konoha."

As he rushed forward, thunder crashed from the sky and each one of his allies turned their head in his direction. This was it; this would be the finale, the final showdown.

A/N: it was sort of NaruSaku, if you couldn't tell. I left the ending up to you, since I have no idea how the manga will end so, I did this.
