Sadness
Sadness was everywhere
A comrade had died
From the Hidden Leaf Village
A member of the Hyuga Clan
His name was...
Neji Hyuga.
He lied dead, in Naruto's arms
Hinata was beyond sad, tears rolling down her cheeks
Naruto...felt nothing, except sadness, his comrade had been killed by his enemy
Obito Uchiha
He was once a team with Kakashi, Rin and their sensei, the Fourth Hokage
Until the one he loved was killed
Rin,
then he fell into darkness
and started the Fourth Great Ninja War
where Neji Hyuga died
Everywhere was dead bodies from each nations
Naruto promised that he wont let any of his comrades die
But, he lied
and all hope was lost
Or so Naruto thought
A hand slapped on his cheek, he looked to the face, to the women he loved
Sakura Haruno, she was also crying for the lost of her friend
"Neji just said that you hold more than one life in your hands. Do you understand what he meant? 'I'll never let my comrades die', neither those words nor the conviction behind them are lies!
Because he managed to engrave them on his heart, and live up to them in the end!" Sakura looked at Neji's dead body
"Neji did!"Naruto's eyes widened "It's not just you Naruto-kun... We all hold those words and feelings in our hearts, they're what bind our lives together...and make us comrades.
If we all give up discard those words and feelings, Neji's final act will have been for nothing and that is when...your comrades truly die! For you are then no longer comrades!That's...how I feel
So,stand with me Naruto-kun because never going back on one's word...is my Ninja Way too!"
Naruto turned his head to Neji's lifeless body
Naruto...Sakura -san and Hinata-sama...are willing to die for you. So...you hold more...
...then one life! shouted Kyuubi Don't forget about me!
"I know. I take my bonds seriously!I'd never abandon my comrades!But in reality, Neji is..."
Stop your rambling! I'll beat you up and take your body for good this time! And did you also forget? Your father and mother did the same thing as Neji did just after you were born.
They sealed me, their arch-enemy inside of you, and entrusted the future to you and died. Your life was already linked to two others from the time you were born!
"Enough"shouted Obito Uchiha, the Ten-Tails wrapped it's arms around it's self and it wa sgathering its power into a Beast Bomb(or what ever it's called)
"They're going to hit us!" luckily Bee got rid of it before it could do any damage, he landed on the ground wounded in his Tail-Beast Form
Naruto raised his right hand and placed on Sakura's hand that was on his cheek, Sakura was a bit taken back with the contact
That's right, it wasn't just Mum and Dad. Yeah...It hasn't just been my life...up until now
Naruto and Sakura stood up, holding hands
"Sakura-chan, thank you! It's all thanks to you standing by my side"
And Neji...thank you too
Narut-kun's hand is so big...and strong,but most of all...
Naruto activated his Tailed-Beat Mode and Sakura was covered in the Kyuubi's charkra
"Let's do this, Sakura-chan!"
"Yeah!" Shannaro!
It's comforting
