Chapter One:

Losses and Regrets

HEY EVERYBODY! I replaced chapter 1 so that way the story would make more sense in the end. Anyway, I will be working on this more often since it's summer.

Disclaimer: "Naruto! I'll give you ramen if you say it!" "RAMEN!" "Yes Ramen! SAY IT!" "Alrightalright! Twilight dwell doesn't own Naruto or any of it's characters!" "Good." "Where's my ramen!" ""Gotta go!" "Get back here!" "Sucker!"

He saw a light coming up to him. In the fog he could see Sasuke screaming and could have sworn Sakura was crying. Then the light exploded, sending Naruto into darkness. Falling into the darkness, he could see kyubi screaming. Then he asked, "Do you want to make a deal?"

"Sasuke…what happened?" asked Sakura wet with tears.

Sasuke covered his eyes, and tried to ease Sakura.

"Where is Naruto!" shouted Sakura on her knees.

As she lit a flare, Sasuke was slamming his fist into Orochimarus corpse.

Then he looked around to see a black mark on the floor and shouted, "Naruto!"

Sakura turned around to Sasuke and shouted, "Sasuke! Naruto is dead!"

Sakura kneeled on her knees above the burnt floor and whispered, "Don't go…"

Sasuke slouched next to Sakura and thought, "What have I done…?"

He walked over too Orochimarus body and kicked it around.

Sakura fell to the floor again and said, "Sasuke… why didn't you just return?"

Sasuke began burning Orochimarus body and Sakura shouted, "WHY DON'T YOU LISTEN SASUKE!"

At Narutos funeral, on the memorial lay a photo of Naruto and his team.

Sakura went up to the memorial with Tsunade at her side and said, "Thank you…for keeping your promise…I'm sorry I never acknowledged you... I do know."

Sakura looked up at Tsunade before leaving and said, "I would give anything to bring him back, just for a moment, and tell him what I feel."

Tsunade leaned over the stone and said, "You would've been the best Hokage…I would have loved to see your face carved right by mine on that mountain…see you soon."

Jiraiya stepped up and leaned down placing his unique headband on the stone.

"There isn't a headband like this…I know how much you brag about being the best ninja and with this, no one would object! You did great kid! Yodaime would be proud."

Jiraiya sat back on his seat and Iruka stepped up.

"I wish I could've seen you before you left…you were like a son to me…next time I see you I'll treat you to as much ramen as you want!"

Iruka then put a kunai on the memorial and said, "It was my fathers, say hello to my parents while you're up there."

Kakashi placed a boxed set of Make-out Paradise and said, "I'll teach you chidori some other time…"

After many more by-passers, Sasuke stepped up to the front.

"Hey dunce. It's my fault, I hope you live it up there. I wish you were my brother, the one I never had, thanks. I hope to see you there too."

Sasuke then placed an Uchiha plaque in the center that said, "Naruto Uzumaki, brother not by blood, but of heart. May our bond stay strong."

On the stone it wrote, "Uzumaki Naruto, died: age 14, Konohas Hero"
"Kabuto…come here!"

"What is it master?"

"Look what I found…"

The man hidden in a trees shadow pointed at a small boy in the shadow as well.

"Is that?"

"Yes Kabuto, it's bad enough I'm like this, and yet I wasn't able to do anything. It seems that the boy doesn't remember a thing. Ha…yet he still holds his power."

"Are you ok master!"

"Yeah, he took a beating out of me, even with my new power, I wonder what he's doing here…"
