Hope you enjoy. Review. For Sarutobi's sake.

"Sarutobi-Sensei. Goodbye."

Lying there with his students around,

He died the way a true Shinobi should,

I'll never forget the day he died,

I wouldn't if I could.

He was brave in the face of death,

And he spoke his last word

With the face of someone with nothing to fear

His voice clear, everyone heard.

One blow, straight through the heart,

Asuma's time did arrive,

He loved his students with all his heart

And his legacy did survive.

He was a true Shinobi all his life

But it's time that he did die.

He was braver than all in the end,

But his time is nigh.

Shikamaru gave his word

To protect your only child.

They all wept as you breathed your last.

Dying in the smoke of a cigarette,

You leave everything you ever knew so fast.

So, Asuma, we will not forget

The bravery of this man

Who gave his life for us.

So we say:

"Sarutobi-Sensei.

Goodbye."
