Author's Notes:

I LOVE FANFICTION!! One day while reading a one-shot about Naruto dying, I had this idea for a fanfiction. I've finally decided to type it. My grammar might not be that good. Reviews are appreciated. Sometimes I might act like Shikamaru and be lazy, just tell me to get off my lazy butt and start typing. This is my first fanfiction, so it might not be that good. ENJOY.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. If I did, Naruto would already be with Hinata.

P.S. Naruhina 4evr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I also accept anonymous reviews!!

Valley of the End

"….Sasuke….," growled an angered mini-kyuubi Naruto. "Why???" Naruto thought, "Everyone risked their lives for you!!!! And you are going to turn your back on them just for revenge?!?!"

Naruto's bloody red eyes surveyed his surroundings. The Valley of End was practically demolished due to the two ninja's battle. At the other end was a demon that resembled Sasuke. Suddenly, black lightning appeared in his palm. His trademark move. Chidori. Seeing this, Naruto made a rasengan in his own palm. He looked back at his friend/rival, for the last time.

"Chidori!!!" Sasuke exclaimed, jumping from his ledge, flapping his wings to gain momentum.

"Rasengan!!!" Naruto shouted, holding out his spiral chakra sphere.

The two jutsus clashed.

Somewhere in the woods

Kakashi was leaping from one tree branch to the other, practically tearing the forest apart to find his two students.

Somewhere far away, he heard an explosion. "Oh God!!!" Kakashi stated, "Please don't let it be to late."

Valley of the End

Kakashi finally made it to the valley. There he saw demolished statues that used to be part of the Valley. As he searched the area for his two students, he noticed a blob of orange face down, floating in the river.

It's too late.

As Kakashi scooped up the blob and headed toward Konoha, he didn't notice the leaf headband with a slash through the middle in Naruto's hand.

Flashback

Naruto laid unconscious while a badly injured Sasuke stared down at him. A mental battle started commencing in his mind.

Kill him! Kill him now! You'll gain the Magekyo (I think that's how you spell it) Sharingan!

The only reason I get the Magekyo Sharingan is because I killed my BEST friend. I can't kill my best friend!

So what! You need every ounce of power you can get. Remember Itachi? He killed our clan!! You're an avenger, therefore you must have no emotions for anyone. Now kill him.

But…he's-

KILL HIM!!

Finally making up his mind, he took out a kunai. "Naruto, I'm sorry." He whispered.

Konoha

Shikamaru paced up and down the hallway. Everyone who fought the Sound Four made it back to Konoha and got treated in the hospital. Shikamaru visited each of them, and he sat and waited at the entrance to Konoha. Actually, every genin in Konoha who could still stand was waiting at the entrance, waiting for the #1 knuckle-headed, hyperactive blonde with, hopefully, THE emo king.

Finally, Shikamaru could make out Kakashi in the horizon, holding what looked like an unconscious Naruto. Everyone was disappointed that Sasuke wasn't with him, but they would talk about that later.

Sakura made it to Kakashi first. "Kakashi, is Naruto ok?" She asked, looking at Naruto's cuts and bruises, but mainly the hole in his chest. Kakashi was silent, and his one eye showed great grief. "Kakashi, what happened?" Sakura questioned, a little more sternly. "Follow me to the Hokage tower, then I'll tell you," Kakashi ordered. "But we have to bring Naruto to the hospit- It's ok." Kakashi said, interrupting Sakura.

Hokage Tower

The scene at the Hokage tower was INCREDIBLE. After Kakashi told everyone (including the Hokage) about Sasuke killing Naruto, everybody reacted in his or her own way.

Ino's knees turned to jelly, and she collapsed on the floor, crying until she couldn't see. Shikamaru balled up his fists, shaking while crying. He said something that sounded like "Sasuke was always such a troublesome bastard." Choji dropped his chips and started crying as well. He lost his appetite (well that's a first). Asuma looked down sadly. He knew that it was true that ninja risk their life everyday, but it still was very emotional.

Neji, being cool and collected, didn't shed any tears, although inside he was torn up. Naruto was the one who saved him from the darkness after all. "Destiny sucks," Neji muttered. Tenten didn't know Naruto very well, but she did shed a tear or two. As for Lee, he was crying hysterically while pounding the floor with all of his might. "HIS FLAMES OF YOUTH SHONE SO BRIGHTLY!! WHY DID HE HAVE TO DIE!?!?!" Lee screamed. Gai tried to comfort Lee. "DON'T WORRY LEE!!! WE SHALL PERSERVE HIS FLAMES OF YOUTH BY KEEPING FOND MEMORIES OF HIM!!!!" It was a wonder how everyone didn't turn deaf.

Gaara (yes he was there) wasn't doing anything. But the aura around him was weighed down by his sadness. His eyes showed unbelievable grief. All of that grief suddenly turned into anger. "Sasuke, I'll kill you for what you did to my first friend!" Sand started to rapidly swirl around him.

Kiba was shaking, crying gallons of tears. It looked like Shino wasn't doing anything, but if you look closely, tears escaped from under his sunglasses. Hinata was stunned at first, but then she started to cry tears that had a year's worth of sadness. It was too late. She'll never be able to tell him about her feelings for him. Hinata clutched her chest. Though it was not damaged, her heart was in pain. Kurenai looked sadly at Hinata. She knew that Naruto's death hurt Hinata much more than it hurt him.

As for Sakura, she didn't believe it. "…No," Sakura said. Everyone turned to look at her. "Sasuke wouldn't kill Naruto, there must be some kind of mistake." "Of course there's no mistake!!" Everyone directed their attention to Hinata, shocked. Usually she was so shy and never spoke up. "Don't you see this!?!?" Hinata exclaimed, pointing at the slit in his throat. "Sasuke slit Naruto's throat!!!! The proof is right in front of you!!" She commenced in crying again.

Sakura just looked up out the window, at the clear blue sky. She couldn't believe it. Her two teammates/best friends (one being a major crush and another being a dumb baka) were both gone on the same day.

Somewhere

"…Where…where am I? Why is it so dark and cold?" Naruto tried to move, but he couldn't. Suddenly there was a tunnel. At the end of the tunnel was a light. The light coaxed him, telling him to come into the light. The felling was so soothing, so peaceful. He would be able to escape the loneliness, the glares. The light disappeared, and suddenly red chakra surrounded him.
