So yeah another song fic, from Spirit: Stallion of the Cimmerian, this time Sound the Bugle, By Bryan Adams. I don't own Naruto, the song, the movie. If I did wouldn't have to be saving money right now.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Sound
the bugle now - play it just for me
As the seasons change -
remember how I used to be
Jiraiya lay on the battlefield of his fight with Nagato; his life began to flash by his eyes.
Now
I can't go on - I can't even start
I've got nothing left - just
an empty heart
As he stared at sky he couldn't cry anymore. He saw the Orphanage he grew up in, the first meeting of Team Sarutobi.
I'm
a soldier - wounded so I must give up the fight
There's nothing
more for me - lead me away...
Taking the Chunnin Exam, being named a Jounin, being named the Sannin and the forbearing battle.
Or leave me lying here
Minato, Nagato, Konan, Yahiko, Naruto, he had failed all his students, and two had died before he had.
Sound
the bugle now - tell them I don't care
There's not a road I know
- that leads to anywhere
He knew he just knew he would never see any of them; Minato was trapped in the Shinigami's Stomach, as was his sensei. Yahiko, his body had been taken by Nag… no Pein. He didn't know where he was headed heaven or hell but he did now he wouldn't see them.
Without
a light feat that I will - stumble in the dark
Lay right down -
decide not to go on
He felt his heart begin to fail, as he saw Naruto flash by his face upon their first meeting, then Naruto jamming a perfected Rasengan into Kabuto's gut, Naruto during the Kyuubi-state, Naruto after they returned from the two and a half years of training.
Then
from on height - somewhere in the distance
There's a voice that
calls - remember who you are
Then he saw himself, he had never liked the way he looked, he was always so different, so much bigger, clumsier then other's his age.
If you lose yourself - your courage soon will follow
He
saw Tsunade, beating the crap out of him, and then treating his
wounds. Their meetings, and his last promise.
So
be strong tonight - remember who you are
Ya you're a soldier now
- fighting in a battle
He finally saw the battle he had had with his onetime student, Nagato, turned Pein, the man hunting his other student.
To be free once more -Ya that's worth fighting for
His vision began to fail, and he could hear his laboring heartbeat and breathing,
"I've failed you Namikaze Naruto."
