Sakura's P.O.V

I was the first to break from my shock after seeing Naruto in the condition he was in, I ran calling his name which in turn inflicted a groan from him.

He was alive but for how much longer? He already had a pool of blood surrounding him and an empty pill bottle next to him. If I even tried to make him throw up the pills it would just cause more blood to bubble forth which in turn would kill Naruto faster. When I felt for a pulse I found it was really weak.

When I got the guts to turn him onto his back and hear for a heartbeat my heart dropped. Naruto's heart was beating slower then it should. I tried to stay calm and called to Tsunade. It didn't take long for her to react. She was by my side and had her fingers on Naruto's neck. Just like me Tsunade's face fell as well. While we monitored Naruto the kyuubi came forward and curled up next to him not caring about the blood.

Kyuubi whimpered while nudging naruto's hand trying to get him to do something to ease the fox's fear sense that really was all he could do outside of Naruto's body. It was really heartbreaking when the Kyuubi howled quietly which sounding sad, hurt, worried and devastated all in one. Just hearing the sadness in the kyuubi's howl made me cry. I checked on Naruto again and what i found was devistating

Naruto's heartbeat and pulse were non existent but, performing cpr would just cause him more suffering if he was revived. Knowing this fact I decided with a very heavy heart that I would tell everyone the news that Naruto was dead. Everyone had a varying reaction but, mine was sadness. I have lost a teammate and a friend and thankfully Tsunade didn't try to persuade me. All she said through her own tears was "this is almost exactly like Dan's death" with that she slowly picked up Naruto and hugged him one last time while hearing the sounds of Kakashi in the background trying to hold back his sadness but failing. I could hear Kakashi and surprisingly Sai crying as well.

We all circled around Naruto mourning our loss of a friend, a teammate, a disciple and a adopted little brother. When Iruka finally found where we were and saw the scene in front of him he came over to Tsunade and stroked Naruto's hair out of his eyes and put his forhead against Naruto's simply saying "Good Bye". A day later we lost kyuubi due to his unimaginable sadness and his role as a jinjuriki.

The End
