Naruto never had to choose.
"Bring back the Sharigan, Naruto." Tsunade's voice calls to him. He is not out of reach.
Konoha will never be in danger again.
Her parting words make him feel lonely.. His heart swells, and it is not with pride.
Sakura is standing at the gate, but her vision is marred by the Hokage, who arrived first. The girl bows her head, still watching, and Naruto knows her enough to tell there is something on her mind.
But she never speaks. And Naruto, though he doesn't know it now, will never have the chance to ask again.
