Chapter 4: Honoring the Dead
It's been five days since Naruto had the nightmare of Sakura being killed by Sasuke.
Naruto was walking to thee Hokage Mansion to talk to Granny Tsunde, who called Naruto to the Mansion.
"Granny?" said Naruto as he walked into the Fifth Hokage's office.
The Fifth Hokage wasn't there so Naruto was walked to the desk and looked at the calender. Naruto saw today's date and read what was happening today... He turned and walked out and waited in the hallway for Grandma Tsunde.
"Naruto, there you are, I was looking for you" said Lady Tsunde.
"Hi Granny Tsunde..." said Naruto with his voice trailing off.
"Is something bothering you, Naruto?" asked Lady Tsunde.
"It's just that, isn't today Jiraiya's birthday?" asked Naruto.
Tsunde was taken back, she didn't expect Naruto to know that today was Jiraiya's birthday, but she recovered quickly, "Yes, yes it is"
"Oh. Well what is it that you wanted to ask me to do Granny" said Naruto.
"It's not important anymore, just go and have the day off" said Tsunde.
"Ok, Granny" said Naruto.
Naruto left the Hokage Mansion and headed for his apartment. His friends saw him and they quickly made there way to the roof of Naruto's apartment and talked to each other.
"I've never seen Naruto this down before on a day off, so what's going on?" asked Kiba.
"I don't know" said Hinata.
"Niether do I" said Sakura.
"I don't know either" said Ino.
"I don't understand why he would be in this mood, he's never been so sulken before" said Neji.
Shino shook his head.
"It probably has something to do with whatever Lady Tsunde needed to talk to him about" said Shikamaru.
"Maybe" said Yamato.
"I bet it has something to do with someone's birthday" said Kakashi.
"Who's?" asked Ino.
Kakashi didn't reply at first, then said, "Master Jiraiya"
Everyone gasped.
"Now I understand why he's feeling down" said Sakura.
"Everyone scatter, Naruto's coming!" said Shikamaru.
Everyone jumped away from Naruto's apartment.
Naruto walked up to his apartment and walked in.
"Come on we need to cheer Naruto up" said Hinata.
"Ok, let's first get him away from his apartment" said Kiba.
"Too late" said Shino.
"What?" said Kiba.
"Naruto's leaving his apartment" said Shino.
Naruto started walking away from his apartment. Sakura saw him and couldn't hold back, she ran up to Naruto and pulled him into an alley.
Sakura hugged Naruto, "Naruto, your not alone-"
"Sakura, please let me go" said Naruto.
"Naruto..."
"I'm going to the cemetery, so please let me go" said Naruto.
Sakura let him go and asked, "Naruto, c-can I come with you?"
"If you want to, you can come"
"Thank you Naruto"
Sakura followed Naruto to the cemetery and saw all of Naruto's friends around Jiraiya's grave.
Naruto reached into his pocket and pulled out Jiraiya's headband and placed it on the edge of his gravestone.
"Happy birthday, Jiraiya-sensei" said Naruto.
Naruto smiled as he felt that his master would be smiling too.
Naruto felt tears rolling down his face in remembrance of his master.
"Naruto are you, ok?" asked Sakura.
"I'm fine Sakura, but could you stay with me?" asked Naruto.
"Naruto... of course I'll stay, I'll go anywhere with you and I'll stay by your side" said Sakura.
"Thank you, Sakura" said Naruto as he pulled Sakura into a hug and kissed her forehead.
Naruto looked over at everyone and glared at them.
"Let's give them some time alone guys" said Ino, who everyone quickly agreed with.
Naruto held Sakura a little tighter, 'I don't want to lose you, Sakura'.
"Sakura..."
"Naruto..."
They looked into each others eyes and they leaned in and shared a passionate kiss, but in the distance, Tobi was laughing.
"I've found your weakness, Jinchuriki" he laughed to himself.
This is evil Tobi will rule the world or will he find out in the upcoming chapters of NaruSaku: The Life of Naruto Uzumaki, Seventh Hokage... Review please
