Dear Sasuke,

Dear Sasuke,

I hope you're okay. As you know, Naruto was made Hokage a month or so ago, but his heart isn't with it. It was shattered one month and a bit ago. He handed in his resign form this morning, in more ways then one.

He should be with you soon.

Iruka and Kakashi give you their love. You've hurt them, but they understand. I think Kakashi will be Hokage. And I shall insure neither of you are forgotten. I still cry now, and I will forever, but rest easy knowing it is because I am happy for you and him.

I'm not sure when I shall next see you, but you will be thought about often.

Love Sakura, and of course our precious little Naruto. It's goodbye from me, and inform Naruto I love him.

Many of the younger villagers did not understand why their Hokage was not being buried with the others. And most of those who knew the reasons disagreed.

But that did not stop Sakura, Iruka and Kakashi form doing it anyway. Naruto's simple casket was lowered into the ground beside Sasuke's, and the heavens opened in the gentle fall of snow.

Despite the pain, three found themselves able to smile, knowing their red-eyed angel was finally crying his tears of peace.

Those same three turned and left the grave-sight, the younger girl holding the hands of the elder men that walked either side of her.

The sun peeked out from the clouds and bathed them in a warm, angelic light as they walked proudly back to the Academy.

Some were scared to hear the fond, 'dobe' and playful 'teme' echo over the graves, but three only smiled in hope.

(A/N Seemed to be a hit on dA, and I thought I'd better submit something and try to figure out this sight. It's confusing)
