"No! No! No! No! No... This wasn't supposed to happen... We were supposed to be happy and get married and... have children. Ikanaide. We were going to have a future together!" Her voice cracked with sobs as she reiterated her thoughts to her lover. Cough. Cough. A hand reached towards her face and began to caress it gently. She looked down on her lover as her tears fell on his body. She held onto his hand as if her life depended.

"Gomen ne Koi... It seems that it is my time to leave. You have no idea how sorry I am for leaving you alone. I love you Naruto..." He smiled at her with his unmasked face and she took him into arms, hugging him tightly.

"I love you too Kakashi." Kakashi looked at her one last time and was glad to see her outstanding smile. Naruto was left breathless as she no longer heard his heart beating. His arms fell to her sides as the strength was no longer there. Her body began to shiver and tremble uncontrollably as her head tilted to the sky as she shrieked to the Kami above.

She shrieked until her voice was lost to herself as she rocked with his body cradled back and forth. It was when she came back to her senses did she notice the cold temperature of Kakashi's body. She set him down and looked at the carnage around her. There were bodies everywhere, some of the faces she recognized and other she didn't. She was the only one left standing in the end and now she wasn't sure what to do.

Kurama... Would you like your freedom now? It's over... I'm the only one left alive. I think it's time for me to reunited with my friends and family.

It's too late now. You said it yourself, it's just us. What would be the point in letting me out? I'll stay with you even in death.

Thank you Kurama. You have no idea how much that means to me. I guess this is where I tell you I'm slowly dying.

What?! How?! I would have noticed right away unless...

Ding. Ding. Ding. You guessed it. The seal I used to get rid of Kaguya with Sasuke was used with most of my power as Sasuke was half dead so I used all of my chakra to finish it. At most I have a day left and the least is a few minutes.

Naruto... I am glad that you are my host. I am so proud of you. That is.. the best compliment you'll get from me. Naruto giggled and Kurama smiled a small yet rare smile. She stopped smiling and she began to cough up blood. Naruto eventually felt pain in her chest, where her chakra source lies.

It's time... Time to reunite with our loved one, ne Kurama? The pain began to spread throughout her body but she pursued if only for a while longer.

I guess it is... Sayonara Naruto. Her breathing became heavy as her lungs no longer seem to cooperate with her.

Sayonara Kurama. It was nice to have you as my partner. With that said, she closed her eyes and her heart no longer beat.

When she opened her eyes, she expected to be greeted by her lover, perhaps even her parents or friends. However, that was not the case as she greeted by the Sandaime Hokage, her Jiji. His eyes were hard as they looked at her and she wondered why, she decided it didn't matter at the moment. She threw her arms around her arms around and began to cry. It had been less than a decade since she had seen him and she missed the warmth he gave to her. She began to sob as she held tightly on him, never wanting to let him go. She wanted to tell him of all the things she accomplished, her love life, but most of all how hard it was when he left her alone in the world.

"Naruto... Is there something wrong? You haven't hugged me like that in two years, let alone let me see you cry." She stiffened and wondered what he meant by those words. She let go of him and backed away. Naruto took in her surroundings and felt her heart break. This was her Jiji, no doubt about it but there something wrong with this while situation. She looked at herself and almost gasped at seeing her body smaller than it was when she died. Her tears had long stopped and the hokage didn't seem as worried as before.

"Yeah... I'm fine. I just don't feel well, that's all. I... I have to go." Before he had the chance to protest, she moved to the window and jumped out and when she landed, she saw Konoha...

What is this...? I should be with my loved ones, not where ever this place is...

Naruto, can you hear me?

Kurama, yes I can. Now please explain to me where we are. I am so confused. I want my Kakashi. The waterworks turned on again and this time she didn't bother to stop them. Naruto ran to Training Ground 7 and immediately went to the Memorial Stone and broke down. No one saw her but rather a yellow flash.

I can't explain because I don't even know where we are... Wait, Naruto do you remember the seal you created to defeat Kaguya? She looked up at the sky and basked in the sunshine.

Of course, I could never forget such a complex seal... Why are you asking this?

I have a theory that you may have messed up on one of the inscriptions. You used the Uzumaki Swirl as the center, right? She nodded, paying absolute attention to his words. Well, what if you added an extra loop to it when you making it, that could have messed up the whole seal. It would still fulfil its purpose but do something extra. She searched her memory and paled when she realized he was right. What... What if that something extra is bringing us back to the past? She looked at the Stone and let her tears fall down her face as she realized the possibilities that this could lead to.

"If what you say is true, then I now have the chance to save them..."
