Team Seven
Disclaimer: I own nothing. Naruto is property of Kishimoto Masashi and will remain that way.
It only took her a few seconds to realize that time was running out. The battle had raged on, long and fierce, destroying anything and everything in its wake. Two shinobis of the highest calibre fought hard as if their lives had depended on it.
Horror struck her then and there as both men-her teammates-bore the weight of the shinobi world on their shoulders. The blows exchanged, the jutsus cast... all was happening too fast.
She felt bile rise up her throat and tears sting the back of her eyes when the continued on with their battle, even though both were exhausted of any chakra reserves left in their system. They still fought for retribution... for redemption.
Her heart tore. If only they weren't fighting against each other... it only they were fighting together to stop this madness.
But that seemed like a distant dream as she saw the two gather the last bits of their energies to strike the final attack-the deciding blow.
Her heart beating heavily against her chest, she broke free from the horrified albeit awestruck audience that was once the Rookie Nine. Her body moved of its own accord, her mind numbing as flashes of a similar scene on a rooftop one afternoon streaked again and again.
She couldn't hear the voices of her comrades as she ran towards her boys, her team—her family. She refused to watch still as they fought to the finish.
Without giving it thought, she threw herself in their path just as a light so strong, so bright engulfed the whole area.

My take on the final battle between Sasuke and Naruto. How did I come up with this? Don't know, really. I was bored, for the lack of anything better to say, and wanted to write something different because seriously, college is fun but too many case studies to write about can really make me whirl.
I needed a breather... although, I can hardly call this one that...
If you're asking, no, I do not know what happens next. It's up to you to decide that. PM me, review me or write another story about it. I wrote this when I was thinking about Educational technology from my DEVC classes... how those two relate? They don't. I was bored, if you haven't figured that one out yet. LOL, like that made sense.
Anyways, thanks for reading and be a dear and drop me a review. They make my day and leave a smile on my face.
