In Trainning Area no.9, Konohagakure, 2 shadows are moving in high speed and crashing to each other between the trees.
"The weather is just perfect for trainning today hur, Sasuke?" Naruto is talking while he is jumping toward Sasuke with his kick.
"No talking during trainning..." Sasuke looks pretty serious as usual.
"Come on, this is our first trainning after you came back... what the?" Something stopped Naruto's kick.
"Too slow..." Sasuke countered Naruto's attack, he blocked and graped Naruto's right leg, and then threw him away, "Told you...you should always keep your focus."
Naruto lost his balance and fell down on the ground, "ouch...that hurts...You are just the same, still cool and strong, but...I m not giving up yet!!"
Naruto stood back up and starts attacking again, seems like he really enjoy the fight between only two of them, which is no more of anger, no more of sadness, no more of tears.
After a few attacks and counters, Naruto started talking again, "Sasuke, I told Sakura my true feeling yesterday..."As he said that, Sasuke's eyes open wider for a little, he forgot to react for Naruto's attack.
"PAH!" Sasuke missed to block Naruto's punch. "Are you okay? My punch won't hurt you that much anyways. You got shock hur? Because of Sakura..." They both stopped fighting.
"No...not at all...I just...never mind, lets just keep doing this." Sasuke tries to pull Naruto's focus back on trainning.
"Nah, its okay, I m tired, just let both of us rest for a little now." Naruto sits on a branch of the tallest tree here.
"So, do we have meeting today?" Sasuke asks.
"Nah, I already got my mission." Naruto took out a mail box from his bag, "Just a really simple mission, send this to the Land of Rain...I really don't know why Tsunade grandma keeps asking me to do those low class ninja mission...I really want some more challenge, or I m gonna be bored to death!!" Naruto shouts out.
"Don't you forget, you are still a Genin, you have never pass any up-grade test yet..." Sasuke sighs and shakes his head.
"Ah...fine..." Naruto moves to sit under the shadow of the tree, it makes a simple of depress...
"Anyways, I' m going to be the next Hokage, believe it!" He stood up and fixes his headband, says that out loud proudly.
"That is gonna be hard...especially for you, Naruto..." Sasuke ridicules him.
"WHAT?? what do you mean Sasuke?! Watch! I will finish this mission in just a minute, and come back to beat you!!" After he shouts out, he jumps to the direction of the Land of Rain, slowly, disappeared on Sasuke's sight...
"Sasuke! Sasuke! please open the door!" Someone is calling outside of Sasuke's home. Sasuke open the door, he saw that its rainning outside, but the weather was pretty good during the morning. Other than that, he sees Sakura, she is standing outsider, the rain fall on her cloths and make them wet, but not only her cloths got wet, also her eyes...
"What happened Sakura...? Are you...crying?" Sasuke asks.
"Naruto...Naruto..." Sakura tries her best to hold her tears, and uses her hand to clear the tears which have already fall out of her eyes. She hugs Sasuke and finally cries out, "Naruto...he...he passed away..."
"wh...WHAT!! no...this can't be true...no..." Sasuke steps back because this news totally shock him, he lost his balance. "Where is he now? WHERE IS HE NOW!!" He yelled that Sakura, even though he didn't mean it.
"Hospital..." as Sakura finished, Sasuke released her hug and run as fast as he could to the hospital. The rain is falling, the sky and everything seems gray, the view is totally the same as the funeral of the 3rd Hokage. Sasuke fell down because of the wet flood, as he stood back up, he remember when the moment of his parents and brother passed away, he is enough of it, totally enough for it, even though he never said so, he don't want to lose anyone else anymore, whom is really importand to him. On the way to the hospital, all the images between Sasuke and Naruto are flashing in his brain: Their "first kiss", the first time they fought together in the Land of Water, the photo they have taken together, the first time they fought each other on the roof of the hospital, the last time they fought before Sasuke went to Sound, many many time they met when Naruto was looking for him and tried to make him come back, and...this morning, the first trainning after Sakura came back, only between him and Naruto...
He finally made it to the hospital, he sees Sai is sitting outsider of the room and covers his face with his hands, "bro...brother..." and Kakashi is standing right next to the door.
"How is Naruto now? how is he now? anyone...ANYONE ANSWER ME!!" Sasuke shouts out, and he sees Kakashi sharks his head.
"Naruto got blew up by the most deadly weapon during the ninja war, the Kates-Bomb. The bomb is too powerful, even the Nine-tailed can help him to recover, Naruto's body got blew up in parts already. Someone must exchanged the mail to the Kates-Bomb to killed him.."
Sasuke graps Kakashi's neckline of his cloth, "How the hack can you be so clam like this!! Why did you guys give him this mission!!" Sasuke was about to punch him, but Sakura held Sasuke's punch back.
"No, Sasuke, please, don't do this, this is not Kakashi sensei's fault, please, don't do this..."
"Just let him hit me, Sakura...once again...once again...one more important person of mine is gone...I fail to protect the people who trusted me...again..." Nobody can tell what kind of suffer is Kakashi carrying behind his mask. Sasuke released Kakashi, he understood there is nothing he can do to bring Naruto's life back, nothing at all. Naruto is gone, he will not say " I' m going to be the next Hokage, believe it!" anymore, he will not ask Sasuke to eat in Ichiraku Ramen Bar anymore, whatever Sasuke says to Naruto, he won't even be able to get mad or try to fight Sasuke anymore. The rain is still falling outside, but, Sasuke still walked out, walking without reason, walking without meaning, walking...without his perfect partner...
The day after that, Sasuke came back to the Trainning Area, he sits on the branch of the tallest tree here, the same place where he chilling out with Naruto. The nice weather, the tall trees, the marks of the attacks that done by the ninjas...everythings are just about the same, except Naruto...he is not trainning in here no more, and never will...again. As the wind blow the leaves to move, the sunlight shines in, something reflecting the light next to Sasuke.
"An ninja headband? Where is that came from?" Sasuke looks around, but he didn't see anyone around here, so he just packs the headband up.
"PAH!" Someone punched Sasuke's face. The power of that punch dosen't seem like try to kill him, he looks at the person who did that. He saw a familiar orange cloth, and the familiar yellow hair, with the ninja headband tight on...
"Are you okay? My punch won't hurt you that much anyways. You got shock hur? Because of Sakura..." Sasuke can't believe what is he seeing now...
"Na...Naruto...?!"
