Changing fate
"That's it" he said "kurama it's seams that's how it's end"
in a place that somehow resemble a sewer, said a blonde young man to the great tailed beast accompanying him, in the place of eyes full of hope and conviction lay pits of profound sorrow and sadness
"Here I am, having nothing left but regrets and awaiting my death"
"You now kits, you aren't alone I will be with you until the end"
Wide eyed, the blonde chuckled "I know buddy, we will always be partners"
Yes, uzumaki naruto failed. After the betrayal of black zetsu and the resurfacing of kaguya, team 7 was going to seal the goddess when in a last act of desperation and madness, she used her power to literally blow everything up, herself included, no one but him was able to survive this, and he was at death door
"Damn" the last uzumaki started feeling hollow inside, he couldn't do anything, he couldn't save anyone "if only I have reacted more quickly, everyone will be still alive, sakura-chan, teme, kakashi-sensei, and the others, and it wouldn't have ended like that"
"What are you doing, naruto, what would they think if they were to see you acting like this?"
The words of kurama made the jinchûriki pause, and when he was going to answer he noticed how everything was fading into nothingness
He sighed "in the end, it doesn't matter my time is up and I will no longer be here to lament over anything"
He know, even with him surviving the explosion, the once flourishing four elemental countries is now but a desolate piece of earth, and his injuries can't be healed even with the help of his partner
The world is dying and so is he, and nothing can be done to change that
"haha, Kurama you know, outside of fights I am not that great at speeches, but I can't go without saying as much as a thank you, so thank you for being there for me all this time, I wouldn't have survived without you" his smile was so large that it curbed his eyes
Kurama couldn't help but spill some tears that made our favorite blonde laugh a little
"Haha I didn't take you for the emotional type"
His pride injured, the great nine tailed fox couldn't help but said "S...Shut up, it isn't what y….."
He stopped after seeing the closed fist that that his friend raised, a faded fist that was raised in a familiar manner, he let out a chuckle "…..baka"
The moment fist met fist, Uzumaki Naruto died.
What he didn't know at that moment is that his story has yet to end; no it was the beginning, the beginning of a new adventure, of a new life.
Let the tail of the unpredictable ninja continue
