Timecaster (Tica): well, this is the final installment of the "Naruto said goodbye" series. Man… so much pain in one boy…
--X--
…
Hello…
What am I doing here?
Did I die?
How?
Am I supposed to die?
Am I supposed to be here?
What is this?
What happened to me?
All I saw was death
All I saw was hate
All I saw was fear
All I saw was dismay
All I saw…
Was a blonde haired woman…
And a white haired man…
It was them…
The old hag and the pervy sage finally killed me…
Why?
Oh yeah…
I remember now…
"Because I killed their friends…"
Because I killed my friends…
Because I killed everyone's friends…
My pain…
I don't feel it anymore…
But… isn't this supposed to be hell?
How come there's light?
I don't get it…
How come there are angels?
I don't get it…
I don't get it at all…
What happened?
I'm supposed to be down there…
"Naruto you baka! Come over here!"
Sakura?
"Naruto you dobe. Let's go already."
Sasuke?
"H-hi Naruto-kun…"
Hinata?
What the…
What's going on?
"Hello… my son."
Wait a minute… dad?
Is that you dad?
"Hello Naruto-san. How are you today?"
Old man?
If you're here…
Am I in heaven?
Is this where I'm supposed to be?
Why am I here?
I killed everyone…
I tortured souls…
I… I raped Sakura…
How can you forgive me?
"I forgive you because you're my friend you baka!"
"I forgive you because you're like a brother to me."
"I forgive you because I love you."
"I forgive you because you're my son."
"I forgive you because you're like a grandson to me."
"I forgive you…"
"I forgive you…"
"I forgive you…"
"I forgive you because you're you!"
Because I'm me…
Because you're you…
Because everyone is everyone…
Because…
Because…
Because…
Just because…
Just because I'm me…
You forgive me…

What's this?
Drip
Where is this coming from?
Drip
Are these…
Drip
Are these my tears?
Drip
Why am I crying?
Drip
Am I this happy?
Drip
Or am I this sad?
Drip
Is this a dream?
Drip
Or isn't it a dream?
Drip. A water drop
Drip. A salty drink
Drip. Your blood
Drip. Your life
What do you want Naruto?
Hinata?
"Do you want to be accepted?
To have a family again?
To be a normal boy?
To be happy?
To feel love inside my body?"
What do you want Naruto?
Sakura?
"Do you want to feel my love?
Do you want me to make love to you?
Do you want your love to be returned?
Do you want me to be taken by you?
Do you want me to show you what real kisses feel?"
What do you want Naruto?
Princess Yukie?
"How about affection, is that what you want?
How about acceptance, is that what you want?
How about compassion, is that what you want?
How about friends, is that what you want?
How about me, is that what you want?"
What I want…
"What do you want Naruto-kun?"
"What do you want Naruto-baka?"
"What do you want Naruto-san?"
What I want…
"Is nothing…"
