Remember Me
Another Naruto OneShot By Uzumaki Fenix
A large red dome covered the area of a football field, keeping Naruto and the remaining Akatsuki members trapped inside while they battled. Tsunade, Iruka, Gai, Yamato, Kurenai, Shikamaru, Ino, Choji, Neji, Tenten, Lee, Sakura, Kiba, Shino, Hinata, Sai, Gaara, Kankurou, Temari, and many others were trapped outside, watching helplessly as Naruto battled the biggest threat the Shinobi world had ever known. All that was left of the Akatsuki was Uchiha Madara, and the giant stone head. The others had been killed only moments before.
"NARUTO-KUN!" Hinata screamed as a katana pierced Naruto's chest. She beat the dome with her fists, desperately trying to get through. "NARUTO!" she screamed again.
Naruto fell to his knees. He was already greatly weakened from battling the other Akatsuki members, not to mention keeping the Kyuubi from escaping. He raised his hands in order to make a series of hand seals that were too fast for anyone, not even Madara could track it.
Before Naruto completed the last hand seal, he looked over at his friends who had become his family over the years. "I'm sorry," he whispered. "I love you all and I hope you will remember me…" His voice was carried on the wind to his friends. At once everyone started screaming for him to stop, but Naruto ignored them. "I love you,
Hinata-chan. Protect our child," he whispered as he completed the last hand seal.
"You hurt my friends…my family… I failed to protect them… I lost my brother to that damn hebi… I couldn't bring him back… NOW YOU WILL PAY FOR WHAT YOU DID TO KONOHA!!!!" he shouted. "ULTIMATE SACRIFICE no JUTSU: BURNING DEATH!!"
Starting with Naruto, a shockwave of flames exploded from his body, burning and destroying everything inside the dome. A piercing scream came from both Naruto and Madara.
Tears fell from Hinata's eyes. She fell to her knees and sat on her ankles crying her heart out, but no one noticed. They were all too caught up in their emotions of grief, sorrow, horror, anger, agony, you name it. Even Gaara showed sorrow.
The dome disappeared as the dust settled. All that was seen was a large crater. In the middle of that was torn and shredded black-clothed hitai-ate with a cracked metal plate. Everyone rushed over to the spot and fell to their hands and knees. Most threw up. Tsunade, Iruka, and Hinata's eyes grew distant and empty. Tears fell from everyone's eyes when they realized that this time, Naruto would not be coming back.
One week later…Hinata stood in front of the grave, ready to give her eulogy. Tears fell from her eyes as she spoke. "Somewhere…far away…it is raining tears of sorrow…The world had lost a great hero…a true hero… The heavens cried for the loss of a father who never had a chance to meet his child…and for the child…who would never meet her father…"
Everyone looked up at her in shock. One thought ran across each of their minds. 'Hinata is pregnant?!' But no one had any time to speak before a voice was heard on the wind. It sounded like Naruto and he was singing.
Remember
me
In a Bible cracked and faded by the years
Remember me
In
a santuary filled with silent prayers
And
age to age
And heart to heart
Bound by grace and peace
Child
of wonder, Child of God
I'll remember you
Remember Me
Remember
me
When the color of the sunset fills the sky
Remember me
When you pray and the tears of joy
fall from your eyes
And
age to age
And heart to heart
Bound by grace and peace
Child
of wonder, Child of God
I'll remember you
Remember Me
Remember
me
When the children leave
their Sunday school with smiles
Remember me
When they're old enough to teach
Old enough
to preach
Old enough to leave
And
age to age
And heart to heart
Bound by grace and peace
Child
of wonder, Child of God
I'll remember you
Remember Me
Age
to age and heart to heart
Child of wonder child of God
Age
to age and heart to heart
Child of wonder child of God
Tears fell from everyone's eyes as the voice stopped speaking and a dove flew off.
Elsewhere"Owww…" Naruto moaned. "Remind me to never do that again. Wait a minute…HOW AM I ALIVE?!"
"Relax, kid. We saved you. You freed us, so we saved you."
Naruto turned and saw all nine biju sitting in front of him. His eyes widened. "How- When- Why-?" he stammered.
"I told you the gaki is a baka," said an annoyingly familiar voice. Naruto turned and saw that it was the Kyuubi.
"Knock it off, you two! Kyuubi, the boy has just been resurrected. Leave him alone," said the Nibi. She looked at Naruto. "Kid, when we resurrected you, we gave a little bit of us to you. Namely a tail. Poor Ichibi, he could only manage to give you half of one. You now have one tail from each of us, and are allowed to do our jutsu. But you will forever look like a hanyou. You need to return home. Your loved ones believe you're dead. If you're not quick, you will never become Hokage."
"Goodbye, kit. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'll miss you. Good luck with your dream. We'll be watching and protecting you and your friends and family," Kyuubi said.
The nine biju disappeared. Naruto turned and raced back towards Konoha.
KonohaEveryone was placing white roses on Naruto's grave. The villagers didn't make any cracks about him. They had seen what he had done for them all. Hinata was just placing her rose on the grave when a voice called from somewhere above them on the Hokage Mountain.
"HEY! YOU CAN'T GET RID OF ME THAT EASILY!"
Everyone looked up and was shocked when they saw Naruto standing on top of the Yondaime's head. Naruto jumped down, and several people jumped when they noticed the nine tails, each a different color.
"It can't be…" Kiba began.
"Yes, it is me! Let's just say the biju did me a little favor. It took a while, but they finally did it."
"Did what?" Tsunade asked.
"Gave me new life. They resurrected me."
Suddenly, nine wolf size biju appeared. "We did resurrect him. He now rules over all biju. He freed us, so we gave him life." The Kyuubi smiled at them. "By the way, I never wanted to come to Konoha in the first place, 18 years ago. I was placed under Uchiha Madara's power."
"NARUTO-KUN!" Naruto suddenly felt himself falling backward with Hinata wrapped tightly around him. "I don't care what you look like! I will always love you!!" She kissed him.
The villagers looked back up chuckling expecting to see the Biju. But the Biju had disappeared.
The people of Konoha celebrated the return of their hero.
7 months later
A baby's cries were heard from the hospital. The villagers cheered. And up in the sky, nine biju stared down on Konoha, always protecting her.
Funny thing is, I just can't leave people I love die…I hope you enjoyed another one of my OneShots!
