A.N: I am reposting this because I read through it and found some errors or poorly phrased lines. Also I felt the dedication on the bottom was the missing piece.

The Fox Boy

By: naruto uzumaki barrage

Battered, beaten, and abused

Bleeding slowly, sight going

The Fox Boy dies alone

The Lavender Iris watches

As the lower him down

Down into the ground

Her fox boy can no longer smile

The Cherry Blossom laments

Chances missed

For choosing the Traitor

Over the pure hearted Fox Boy

The Dog watches as the Shy Girl slips into sadness

For what can a Dog do,

When a Pure Fox leaves?

The 5th Shadow of the Leaf

Sheds silent tears

As her adopted brother is both scorned

And loved

The Copy Cat stares at an inscribed stone

As his sensei's son is slowly buried in dirt

He closes his eyes and weeps

He surprises everyone

And throws his book into the hole

The cold raccoon

His shell now broken

Weeps for his one-time enemy

His life-long friend

The "Avenger" watches from afar

Knowing he isn't welcome

He to cries for his fox brother

His ambition took him away

And now he is hollow

The villagers rejoice

Their burden gone

The demon has been slain

In all their ignorance

They have killed their protector's will of fire

Now the Snake,

In his treacherous style,

Attacks the village

In this, their darkest hour

No one can stop him

Not many try

The Fox Boy

Was the string

That bound them together

Such is the tale

Of Naruto Uzumaki

Pay heed dear Reader

Lament

Treat others right

Don't douse their fire

For you never know

When the Fox Boy

May come again
