Prologue

It was all calm when I walked towards the front line, a sharp intake of breadth told me of the sweat and blood stained bodies of many others.

I stopped as a hand grabbed my shoulder, gently but in urgency. I smiled sadly as I turned around to face him, the person I couldn't help but love. Sasuke.

"You don't have to do this!" His voice was barely audible, but loud enough for me to listen. I smiled sadly and raised my hand to touch his cheeks. He caught it and held it close to his heart.

Strange. It was beating so fast. What a weird person he was? Of all the time he could have got, he had to confess of his love now? Not that I needed that confession. I knew his heart, as cold as it was for others, it was only for me to have.

I stared at his eyes, lost in those onyx pools of longing and for one moment I felt compelled to stay.

And then I remembered my duties, bringing that longing to an end. I turned and started walking away, not looking back to those eyes which may have finally succumbed to tears.

Another figure blocked my path, her eyes already shedding tears. I smiled, she was always a cry baby. My sister. Hinata.

"Please…" she sobbed "Please don't go…please stay…we'll, we'll figure out something…build walls again…please-"

I silenced her with a kiss on her head and whispered "There's no other way…"

I started walking and came face to face with Naruto. His eyes were fixed on the ground. I looked past him to see all my friends standing behind him, their eyes glistening with unshed or already shed tears.

I looked at him again, expecting him to burst out any moment. I smiled again, perhaps the last time and spoke "Aren't you gonna stop me?"

He shut his eyes tight, forcing the tears out of them and lift his right fist up into the air.

My eyes widened as his fist collided with the ground beneath him.

"ALL BOW!" Naruto's voice echoed in the battle field and soon the others behind him followed his actions as they bowed down before me.

"ALL BOW TO THE JADE WARRIOR!" another voice, behind me, it was Sasuke. I turned to see everyone all around me bowed down in respect, their eyes closed and tears soaking their faces.

I blinked as I too felt my tears cascading down my cheeks and my right hand lifting up automatically.

In my head my own voice echoed "And here I thought I stand alone…in the sea of dark as the light was shown…"

I gulped down my saliva and turned towards where our enemy stood. Balling my right hand into fist, which was still up in the air, I whispered "As long as you'll need me …I'll come back!"

I glanced back at Hinata and smirked, my right fist opening to a victory sign.

And I knew they had all heard me, because at that moment they all stood up cheering for their leader.

And I walked ahead, leaving behind a crowd of new hope and life to fight for.
