I do NOT own Naruto, I do NOT own the poem!
"Those days of oh so long ago,
The sunset with its afterglow,
The outings that gave us all a thrill,
I remember still...
The friendship that we all forged then,
That time we made our tree-top den,
Fishing by the watermill,
I remember still...
Sunlight streaming thro' the trees,
The softness of the gentle breeze,
Bluebell haze and daffodil,
I remember still..."
We've been through a lot of troubles. Sasuke left, Naruto was captured and the kyuubi was sealed away, I attempted suicide after I was told that my family and friends were killed. But when I woke up in hospital and saw them both looking down at me, I knew that everything would be okay.
It was always so hard for me. I'd always be watching their backs, walking away from me, getting stronger every day. They knew I was weak. They would always get themselves hurt to protect me; sometimes they even risked their lives. It was so painful, to see them both fall to the ground covered in blood, right in front of me. I remember how Naruto would smile while his injuries were healing and how Sasuke would hug me to try to cheer me up. They would both be with me in all our missions, even the easy ones.
I remember that one time when Sasuke finally opened up to me. He was about to tell me something I will never know, when Naruto suddenly popped up out of nowhere and threw a raman bowl on his head. Sasuke had been so embarrassed that when I asked him to tell me he stuttered and smiled and hid away from me until he had got all the raman out his hair. That really shocked us. The thought of Sasuke stuttering and hiding from us had always been a funny dream to us then, but when we saw him that time...well you can imagine how much we laughed.
I also remember how Naruto reacted when Hinata finally confessed her love for him. He just walked up to her kissed her and laughed nervously before telling her he loved her too, and instead of fighting for her, he just forgot about the biggest battle of his life, and walked away carrying Hinata in his arms shouting to everyone who hadn't been there that he and Hinata were going to be the two top ninjas of the village! Pein was left standing there looking really pissed off and kinda confused. I told him he'll have to visit another time and he just blinked and disappeared. I bet he was embarrassed!
Those were the good old days. Now things are a bit different...
These days we sit under the cherry blossoms trees at dusk and watch the sunset together. We laugh at the good times and smile sadly at the bad times. We spend a lot of time together. Because of my regeneration jutsu I only have a limited time left. We make the most of the time we have left together, and we have a lot of fun. Yes we are getting old, yes we can't do as many cool physical tricks as we could back in the ninja days, but what we can do is live the life we never had before. We can live like almost normal people. We can live life to the fullest and continue to be friends. Best friends, friends that are like the family none of us ever had.
We can continue to be team seven.
"Now time has passed and we are old,
our friendship has been purest gold,
as magic as a skylark's trill,
dear to my heart -- remembered still..."
