"The one that will cut away the past is me."

"Didn't you say that Sasuke? When we were fighting the Ten-Tails jinchuuriki? "

We were on training grounds, Naruto suddenly called him here to fight. I didn't know the reason until he mentioned that.

"Do you still want to cut it, Sasuke?"

As Naruto took out his kunai, I felt nervous. He was serious with knowing my answer. Honestly, I'm not so sure anymore. Naruto is already an existence I can't live without.

"Naruto, I..."

"Get ready, Sasuke."

He attacked me, it was a good thing I have good reflexes, I evaded his attack easily.

"If that's what you want."

I countered full force. No holds barred. We went on like that until we were almost out of chakra. It was like a replay of the battle we had at the Valley of the End . And just like that day, he was preparing his Rasengan, and I, my Chidori. As we collide, I saw him discharge his Rasengan. I tried to stop but I was too late. My Chidori hit Naruto.

"Naruto, you planned this from the start?"

"You could say that."

"Why?"

"I wanted an answer. I wanted to know if you really hate me enough to kill me. Apparently, you do. Heh."

I stood there. I just stood there, I couldn't move. Even when he was this weak, he still has that stupid grin on his face.

"Sasuke, see you. Be a good Hokage, okay?"

I didn't notice the tears until they gushing down like a waterfall.

"I don't hate you."

"Thanks."

And with that, he left me. That stupid dobe.
