SerialAuthor: It's called Memorial, because in Funerals, and Wakes you can see a body, or at least a casket/coffin, and in Memorial's you don't, and since Naruto was a Ninja they would have had to burn his body no matter how bad it already was, because that's Ninja law.

The Memorial

It was beautiful. People touched by Naruto, heard of him and his greatness, knew someone effected by him, and more had come to grieve the great loss of the world's light.

They chose for the memorial to be on his birthday, which unfortunately also held the celebration for when the Great Fox Demon was destroyed, but incidentally on this day when there would be no festival, the sun chose to shine as brightly as it could. It was as if Naruto, the only one could compete with and outshine the sun, was looking down upon them, and smiling one of his life changing smiles. They all smiled through their sadness, and tears: Naruto wanted them to smile back.

The sun reflected upon the two statues erected for the two great heroes of Konoha; one a golden fox that was surrounded by Phoenix fire, and a moon that it would always be able to look at even when there wasn't one in the sky. The Nine Tails were spread out gracefully for all to see, and admire.

This was for Kyuubi. Although there had been many great arguments against the installation of the statue Tsunade had taken the time to remind the all that had it not been for the "Cursed Fox Demon" Naruto would have died a long time ago, and the world they were living in now would have been completely different, because that's just how important Kyuubi, and Naruto were.

It was approved after she had stated her side of the argument, not that Tsunade had cared. She would have gone on with it whether they had approved or not.

The second was of Naruto. This one was made of various metals so it would always look like the original Naruto. His outfit was similar to the one he had worn when he was alive, sandals blue, hair golden and spiky. His skin was tan; cheeks with three scars on each side, eyes were blue, mouth in a smile that made him look like he was laughing at something funny. It looked exactly like him, but it was missing the most important thing. Life. There was no life inside of the replica.

There was no Naruto so it could only look like him. They'd have to live the rest of their lives without him, and they didn't like that, or even want it. They hated it so much, but they'd make friends with his replica. The replica could bring them some solace.

As the guests left when they had realized that hours had passed, and it was now dark the true friends of Naruto bid them all goodbye. When they were all alone Gaara, and Neji grabbed hold of each others hand, and walked away; the rest followed suit, and went home to grieve seriously there.

They were in the dark lost, sad, and scared. They wanted Naruto so badly it hurt.

SerialAuthor: This will not be the last chapter, and sorry it's so short if you think I'm a failure in life than its okay to tell me I've been getting hints that I might be for a while now. The next chapters will be titled with the person whose view it will be in, I think. The first one will be Tsunade, maybe. Also most of them will be short, and there will be a lot, or a couple people missing.
