Flashes of Pink and Yellow passed through the tree's of Konoha's forest. The cool night air wipped through the pink and yellow tresses of the two silent and stealthy Shinobi. Cerulean and Emerald locked and a silent agreement was made. Gracefully leaping from branch to branch, Naruto and Sakura searched for a clearing to spend the night in before returning to their home village, Konohagakure.
As the two fellow ninja passed a river, they knew they were close to a clearing perfect for camp. After all, they did know this forest inside and out. Their pace slowed down as they marvelled at the beauty of the river. The moons light reflected of it's surface giving it an enchanting glow. The water remained serene and calm in the nights light breeze.
Picking up their pace, Naruto and Sakura soon landed in a clearing as they expected to. A sharp gasp was heard from Naruto as he took in the surroundings. A brief look of shock appeared in Sakura's Emerald orbs before they went back to being indifferent. Naruto glanced to his left to see Sakura's reaction and was dissapointed to see no emotion. Turning back to the area in front of them, Naruto took out a Kunai from his weapons pouch and Sakura soon followed suit.
The clearing they were planning to camp in for the night, was a complete disaster. A battle had obviously taken place there. Several tree's in the area were scorched, ashes everywhere and some still lingered in the air. Small craters littered the grounds in many different places. The area had clearly been expanded to more than what it was, tree's were not only burnt but torn from their roots laying all over the place. Many Shuriken and Kunai were scattered all over the battlefield, some stained with blood while others were coved in dirt.
Naruto stood firmly in a strong fighting stance, Kunai in each hand ready to defend himself and take action. His Cerulean eyes took in every detail of the grounds before him. His teeth gritted together and his normal Cerulean coloured orbs flashed to Red; The Kyuubi's eye's. Naruto's whisker marks on his cheek's became more prominent by the second. His teeth and claws slowly grew longer and sharp making them deadly with a mere single strike.
Although more of the Kyuubi's assets were becoming more noticable- No tails appeared from the rear of Naruto. Instead of the animalistic growl that would escape from his throat, the whole clearing remained quiet. No venomous chakra seeped through his pores mixing with his blood causing the Blonde to screech in agony. Naruto had full control over the Nine-Tails power, harnessing it as his own. A feat he had mastered with the help of Killer-Bee not long after 'that' incident.
Sakura's calculating Green eyes scanned the clearing for any sign of movement, a small noise coming from Naruto notified her of his actions. Her focus shifted to the Shinobi next to her as a small smile graced her pale lips. His whisker marks were getting darker and she knew he was inhancing his senses with the Kyuubi's power. She made the smile dissapear from her features before the said boy noticed it.
Sakura turned back to the mess in front of them never once letting her guard down. The grip on her Kunai tightened as she scanned the area once again. There was no sign of movement anywhere, everthing was eerily still. Sakura closed her eyes and breathed in deeply, the stench of blood heavily invaded her senses, the howl of the wind as it blew through the grass rang clear in her ears. She heard a faint rustle to her left and her eyes snapped open.
~X~
The winds soft breeze sent chills through his body as he leaned against a tree that was charred and burnt, his body was beaten and bloody. Several cuts were visible on the young man, some old while many others were new, leaking out generous amounts of blood. A large wound in particular stuck out from the rest, blood pooled around his battered figure tainting the lush green grass beneath him.
The young man's breathing was ragged and uneven. His vision began to blur and he knew that he didn't have long. As he felt his breathing become more difficult and shallow, his gaze lifted to the heavens. A smirk spread over his pale lips, a feeling of irony and sadness washed over him. He couldn't help but let a bitter chuckle escape his throat as he thought about the irony of everything.
Out of the corner of his eye, he could've sworn that he saw a flash of Pink and Yellow, he strained his bluring eye-sight to see clearly. A second later, two silouhettes landed soundlessly a few yards away from him. The young mans eyes widened as the two people who arrived were the two people he betrayed many years ago.
Sakura Haruno and Naruto Uzumaki
-Oh The Irony-
Poor, Poor- Sasuke Uchiha
~X~
Naruto aswell as Sakura heard the slight rustle of grass in the near distance. Both Ninja's head snapped to the side to see a lone figure leaning against a tree. Adjusting their sight to the darkness that consumed the sillouhette, both Shinobi's eyes widened as realisation struck them.
In a flash they were by Sasuke in a second, The said boy was on the brink of death barely breathing, his eyes focussed on the Pinkette and Kitsune, fighting the darkness that tried to consume him. Sakura and Naruto knelt on each side of of their Ex-Team Mate.
A look of pure horror entered Naruto's Cerulean orbs as he took in the sight of his fallen friend. Sasuke's pale abdomen had a large gash that went from his hip, all the way up to the area his heart would be. It was obviously a fatal hit, the Kitsune knew not even Tsunade could heal it. Tears started dripping down his whiskered cheeks as he knew what the outcome of this situation would be. His entire body shook as fear fulled his vains. A sob escaped his throat as it echoed through the silence of the night.
Naruto didn't know what to do, he felt helpless as he watched the Dark Haired Uchiha gasping for breathe, clinging on to any life left in him. The large wound that Sasuke sported was definantly un-healable. The Blonde was actually surprised that Sasuke was still alive; being that the wound was so close to his heart. Naruto knew Sasuke wasn't going to make it; and knew he couldn't help but to watch.
The whole time, Sakura's head was down. Her Pink bangs blew in the wind as she tried to supress all the emotions flowing from her usually dull eyes. Inwardly the Pinkette cursed herself for letting her emotions overwhelm her. Her nails dug into the flesh of her skin as she balled her tiny hands into fist.
A sob echoed throughout the forest and she didn't dare look up at the sobbing boy accross from her. Her brows furrowed in frustration as Naruto's tears hitting the soft ground below, fulled her sensitive ears.
Drip- Drip- Drip
Rage coursed through her blood as she felt the familiar feeling of water running down her pale cheeks. A single teardrop escaped her Emerald eyes rolling further and further down the side of her face. A slight metalic taste tingled her taste buds and she just realised how hard she was biting her tongue. However she didn't stop the actions of her teethe, and the metalic taste in her mouth became more evident.
Naruto's quiet sobs kept drilling through her heart. She could just imagine how much his Cerulean eyes shone with much sadness and pain. How much sorrow and fear he must be feeling to lose someone he cared about again.
Drip- Drip- Drip
Blood poored down her palms, her eyes were clenched painfully together; Trying hard to supress the murmers coming from her Blonde Haired Bestfriend. A slight shift in the wind indicated the dying Uchiha's movements. Naruto's cries seemed to have calmed down a bit, but not decided to open her eyes for the first time and peer pass the curtain of her Pink hair to Sasuke and Naruto- She wish she hadn't.
She couldn't help but let one of her own sobs escape her lips at the sight of the dying male, and another tear slid down her pale cheek. For the first time in Sakura and Naruto's life, they saw Sasuke smiling at them sadly. Acceptance was written in is dark eyes as he continued to stare at them. She couldn't take seeing him in the condition he was in, mixed with the sounds of Narutos's tears, so she merely glared at the ground.
Sasuke's breathing started getting shallower and shallower. Everytime he took a breath, his lungs would ache more and more. Blood kept pouring through the large gash on his abdomen. It took everything he had to keep his eyes open, just to revel in the presence of the two people he thought about since...
He shifted his head to look at the people he left behind, for revenge.
Tears were still streaming down Naruto's cheeks and Sasuke couldn't help but wonder WHY? He was a missing nin- A traitor to his friends and comrades- Someone who betrayed them years ago for power so he could get his revenge- So Sasuke stared at the Blonde Haired Kitsune and kept musing over why he would cry over his death. To Sasuke it didn't make sense.
After a moment of taking in the sight of The Kyuubi Container, his Obsidian orbs shifted to his left to the girl who would fawn all over him in their Genin days, her Pink bangs shaded her face from is view. A pang in his chest erupted in him, yet it was not caused by any wound or injury. His eyes softened briefly and he couldn't stop himself from reaching out and tilting her her head so she could face him.
Emerald and Onyx clashed
For a brief second he saw her eyes flash in pain- For a brief second he saw her eyes flash with hurt- For a brief second he saw her eyes flash with sorrow- For a brief second he saw her eyes flash with anger and betryal, and for a brief second before her Green orbs return to their lifeless and dull form, Her eyes flashed with something he yerned to see since he left Konoha... Her affection.
And it was directed towards him...
It was enough to make him give her one of his rare smiles. It wasn't sad or sadistic, but genuine; From his heart- And only for her.
When she snatched her face out of his weak grip, his chest tightened and overwhelming pain consumed him, it was unlike the wound embeded in his abdomen; No, the pain of the fatal blow had become numb minutes before they arrived. This pain was directed at his heart...
It was breaking...
However, his smile remained in place, perhaps a bit sadder than before, because now he knew- He knew there was nothing to live for; So he could leave this world in peace..
He truly hoped, that in the few seconds that their eyes met -Emerald and Onyx- she recieved his message he was trying to tell her, that he didn't have the strength to say...
As the Ex-Avenger of the Uchiha clan closed his eyes- giving in to the darkness that fought for control, an inexplicable amount of light forced its way passed his eyelids...
Then everything went black.

...I'm Sorry...

PLOT SPOLER ALERT (To Any New Readers.)
You already know that Sasuke doesn't die. Maybe he was close to death, but he lives. The mystery in this for you guys is: How? How did he live when he was basically almost dead? THIS is also what I was talking about when I said there were gonna be a FEW little plot changes added in this more updated one. It won't be that BIG though. My main idea for this story is still the same.
