Once they had gotten down onto the ground,Tsunade continued. "Sakura I don't know what to say but...",she looked troubled,and glared at her. "You should be ashamed of yourself.",she said scoldingly.
Sakura looked shocked,and asked,"W-what? What do you mean?"
Tsunade shook her head. "I never though you were capable of giving up. And you Sai,you told her all these things about Naruto,then Shikamaru filled your head with 'what ifs'. It's just wrong that you would believe it all Sakura!! You never give up on your loved ones. You love them both so much,and you just give up on them?! That's not like you at all!! You must always believe in them,even to the end. You don't realize it now,but one day when you're old,you'll see just how much...",she looked into the distance beyond the clearing. "...how much they really account for. I've lost someone just like you have Sasuke,if not worse. I've lost even the lovable clown that was one of my closest friends. I loved so many people that have died. I can't imagine what his last moments would've been like if he thought I doubted him,I would've hated myself.",she said,looking almost as if she was about to cry.
Sakura looked down to the ground below,and tears fell again. "I just...don't want him to hurt anymore.",she said. "He's my closest friend. He's closer to me than my own parents.",she whispered.
"And yet you are willing to kill Sasuke.",Tsunade scolded.
Sakura looked up. "Sa-I was talking about...",before she finished she choked off. I was talking about Naruto...does that mean I.... Sakura was thinking hard now.
Meanwhile Naruto continued through the trees,heading towards the place where Sasuke was last spotted. He had finally arrived now,there was an old building that had a sign saying,"Inn". Naruto saw,standing outside of the building,walking into the forest:Sasuke.
He followed him for about twenty minutes. Naruto looked around,this place was familiar. He heard rushing water over through the trees. When Naruto reached the edge of the trees he recognized the canyon,the Valley of End,or the Final Valley.
Sasuke stood at the edge of the cliff,looking down into the water. Then he looked up to the top of the head of the Konoha found,who Naruto had no idea of his identity,and atop him stood Madara Uchiha. Madara was looking at Sasuke too. "Why have you come here,boy?",he asked Sasuke.
Sasuke remained silent,and looked unwaveringly at Madara. "Tell me why you've come here,or do you plan to kill me or something?",he said,and laughed at the latter comment.
Sasuke whispered so quietly that Naruto could barely here it,"Yeah I do plan on that. If this knuckle-head will back me up."
Naruto's eyes widened. Sasuke had lead him here...to fight Madara? It was unreal. Naruto nodded toward Sasuke,who could see it out of the corner of his eye. "The place has some value to me.",Sasuke finally said.
Madara jumped from the head of the second founder,and landed between where Naruto hid,and where Sasuke stood. He had no idea Naruto was there! "Sentimental value,perhaps? And here I thought you were the type who felt no connections to any location,or was that just Konoha.",he mocked Sasuke. Sasuke glared at him. "No need to get angry,unless you want me to kill you.",he said.
Naruto knew what Sasuke wanted,it was as if they had planned it out before hand. Naruto sent out a Shadow Clone,who charged Madara holding a kunai.
Madara spun around and gripped the clone's wrist tightly. Then Sasuke lunged from behind and managed to hit Madara square in the back. Madara stumbled slightly. He gazed at Sasuke,and even though his face was blocked by the mask,you could tell he had an enraged look on his face. "I honestly thought I could trust you. I see now I am mistaken. So much for the last two Uchiha men banding together I suppose.",he said angrily.
Sasuke scoffed,and said,"You're one to talk about the clan staying together,you had a hand in slaughtering them all,and it wasn't even your place!! Itachi was ordered to do so,you did it for your own grudge,for-",he flinched and continued,"for revenge..." Sasuke looked empty,he was looked lost in thought.
Madara took such an opportunity,and attacked Sasuke. A narrow blade was revealed from the sleeve of his Akatsuki cloak,and he held it,ready to attack Sasuke. Naruto formed the Shadow Clone hand sign,and two clones jumped at Sasuke,one pushed him out of the way,and the other took Madara's attack to the heart,disappearing afterwards.
"Sasuke!! Get ahold of yourself,this is a life-or-death fight!! No time to be spacing out!!",Naruto shouted to Sasuke.
Sasuke shook it off,and looked back to Madara. "You're right,Naruto. Before this fight goes on however,let me say something. Just because I'm teaming up with you,it means nothing. Know that,and fight with me,or just leave.",he told Naruto plainly.
Naruto nodded. "As sad as it is,I thought as much already.",he replied grimly. The two nodded to each other.
Naruto jumped into the air and shouted,"Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu!!!" About one-hundred clones appeared,and all jumped at Madara. Madara chuckled wickedly. All of the clones impacted the same spot,disappeared into a huge cloud of smoke,and Madara stood in the middled unscathed.
"Have you forgotten my ability,little fox?",Madara asked Naruto,with a chuckle. "You cannot touch me with such a weak attack!!",he shouted confidently. Then there came the sound of birds...chirping?
Madara turned but it was too late,Sasuke was right behind him,and hit his spine dead-on with a powerful Chidori. Then he pushed chakra,and shaped it into a blade on the tip of the Chidori,so it plunged through Madara entirely. "Now you pay,traitor.",Sasuke spat at Madara,as he fell lifelessly onto the ground.
