It was raining, clichéd I know but somehow it felt right with this setting, pieces of trees and earth scattered around, my best friend was down somewhere near me (the only way I knew was because of his scarce breathing), I knew I was dead even if the pink-haired medic made it in time, I had been bleeding to profusely for to long, even if I wouldn't die here there was no village to go back to, Pein had destroyed it, and even when I was no longer a part of it I felt a sensation that I hadn't felt for years. Sadness, an overwhelming sadness that so many had died, that I would never again walk down the halls of the Uchiha mansion and remember my family, even Itachi who killed my family and my future, I told him I would never walk the same path as him, but I would have liked to think if I had gotten here in time I would help save the village, saving it as much as Itachi had when he had killed my, no, our family. My thoughts screeched to a halt as I heard the voice that I had thought about on occasion during my stay at the sound village "Sasuke-kun, Naruto" the girl wailed. "I-I kept my promise Sakura-chan" the blond dobe said weakly I could hear that he was worse off than I was "I found Sasuke, just heal him and you can be together forever". "What about you, Naruto?" questioned the medic quietly, the same question had been going through my mind "I-I'll be fine on my own Sakura-chan, just heal him and be happy". As soon as he said it I knew what would happen "I only have enough chakra to heal one of you." Tears started to fall from her eyes as she ended the statement. "SAKURA-CHAN, HEAL HIM AND BE, HA-HAPPY" the dobe yelled. His words seemed to break her out of her funk; I did my patented smirk as she ran over to Naruto to heal him. "What are you doing Sakura-Chan?" the dobe whispered so it was almost hard to hear "I'm healing you, you idiot." She said, she had become more powerful in spirit than the last time I saw her. And as the darkness started sinking in I did the last thing I could think to do "Naruto, my brother, please make her happy, Sakura… please keep my brother safe." Then the cold crush of death came down around me as I closed my eyes for the last time. I'm not lonely, not even in my death, Sakura and Naruto visit my grave regularly, and they even named their first son after me. In death I am happy, with my family.
