Sakura remembered the day he died.
She had just became an ANBU. He was soon going on his first mission as a ANBU captain.
Though Sakura would never have admitted it she was very proud of him.
He had worked so hard to for everyone to respect him. He had become on of the strongest shinobi in Konoha.
Tsunade had told Sakura that she would soon appoint him as the Hokage.
Sakura was so happy for him.
But that very same day Tsunade said that Sasuke came. He decided it was time to cut the bonds with her and Naruto.
They fought brutally. But Sasuke overpowered Naruto with his chidori.
Naruto was hurt badly and Sasuke was about to finish him off when the Kyuubi was let loose.
Sakura was horrified. Hundreds died trying to stop him. Sasuke was almost killed. But Sakura fought for him.
/FLASHBACK/
The Kyuubi was on a rampage. It was killing everyone in its path.
Sasuke had been knocked unconcious when he tried to fight the Kyuubi.
Sakura watched in horror as Naruto slowly lost all control.
Sakura clenched her fists. 'I can't lose him.' She thought as she ran towards Naruto.
The Kyuubi saw her and hit her hard. She flew back and hit the ground.
She sat up slowly.
"He's too strong... I can't even get near Naruto without getting hit by the Kyuubi" She said to herself.
She stood.
"I will save you Naruto"
She said as she ran at the Kyuubi again. But she was hit again. This time it almost knocked her unconcious. Blood dripped from her mouth as she breathed heavily.
She sat up and wiped the blood away.
She noticed the Kyuubi had turned its back on her.
She gathered chakra in her feet and readied herself.
"NOW!" She shouted as she ran towards Naruto.
This time she made it.
She wrapped her arms around Naruto's stomach.
"Please Naruto stop!!" She begged as tears fell from her eyes.
She felt him stiffen. She then felt his clawed hand on hers.
"Sakura-chan" He whispered as the Kyuubi was slowly suppressed.
She held him tight until she was sure the Kyuubi was gone.
He went limp. Sakura laid him down gently.
He held her hand tightly. He opened his eyes and gazed at her.
Worry etched all over Sakura's face. He smiled.
"Sakura-chan..Thank you" He whispered.
Sakura caressed his cheek.
"Its ok...Everything is gonna be ok now." She whispered.
She saw Naruto's face sadden.
"Sakura-chan I need you to do something for me."
"What?"
"I need you to promise me you'll do it no matter what" He said in a serious tone.
"Ok what it is?"
"You promise?"
Sakura hesitated.
'Why is he acting so strange?'
"Yes." She spoke.
He pulled a kunia out from his pocket slowly. He placed it in her hand.
She looked at him confusion evident in her eyes. He placed his hand on hers.
"Kill me"
Sakura went into shock when she finally registered his words. She couldn't breathe. She could feel her heart beating fast.
'NO! I can't!'
"Sakura-chan?" He whispered.
She broke.
Tears fell rapidly. She grabbed his shirt and burried her head in his chest.
"NO!! I won't. I can't Naruto!! Please don't make me do this" She begged him. She felt his arms wrap around her.
"Shhhhh Sakura-chan its ok" He said trying to calm her.
"There has to be another way!" She cried
"Sakura-chan" He spoke in a commanding her to look at him.
She looked up slowly at him.
"You saw what happened. You saw how out of control I was. I couldn't stop. I even hurt you." He said with a pained expression.
"Its ok! I'm fine" She spoke.
"No...Sakura-chan you promised me you'd do this" He whispered.
"You tricked me" She whispered as she looked away.
He squeezed her hand.
"I'm sorry...but it was the only way. Sakura-chan...I can't take it knowing I've hurt you and hundreds of others...I don't want to hurt anyone else...It hurts so much knowing what I've done. Please I don't want it to happen again." He begged.
Sakura was quite for a long time. She tighted her grip on the kunia.
She looked up at the dark sky.
"You know, You were gonna be named Hokage next week." She spoke softly.
His eyes widened but then he smiled sadly.
"You know, I think I always loved you, Sakura-chan. I don't think I ever stopped" He whispered.
Sakura smiled as she looked at him.
"I know"
He smiled back at her.
"Sakura your the only one that can do this. Your the only one I have left. I need you. Please" He spoke sadly. She nodded her head.
She dropped the kunia and placed her hand over his heart.
He raised an eyebrow.
"It will be quicker this way" She spoke as she released chakra into his heart.
He placed his hand over hers. "Thank you" He whispered.
She leaned down slowly. "Goodbye" She whispered as she kissed his forehead. He instantly went lifeless.
She raised her head and stared down at the body.
"I'll always remember you Naruto...future Hokage." She whispered.
She then hear footsteps approaching her. She turned to see Sasuke coming towards her.
He raised his sword at her. She glared at him.
"If your going to kill me now is the time" She spoke.
He looked past her and saw Naruto's body and her hand over his heart.
Something flickered in his eyes.
He looked at her with an emotion in his eyes Sakura couldn't figure out.
He turned and left.
Sakura smiled.
/END OF FLASHBACK/
It seemed Sasuke still couldn't kill her.
Why she would proberly never know.
But all she knew right now was that she truly didn't care if she died.
Everyone had left her.
Everyone was gone.
Everyone she ever loved was dead.
And now she was the only one left.
'Tell me, whats the point of fighting if you have nothing to protect?'
