Wow I didn't know that so many people really red this story. When I saw all the reviews my mouth dropped open. But then I was sitting in my bed trying to go to sleep and this new end came to me.
Sorry it took so long but I wanted it to be perfect!
I don't own Naruto.

Tsunade looked at him. The Anbu had propped him up ageist the sidewall of her office. He still couldn't support him self-even after they had pulled him away from their bodies. He had been crying so it left his eyes red and puffy.
The others that had found them were there too. Naruto stud with Hinata and Lee. Kiba, Shino and Ino stud a little behind them. Asuma held Kurenai in a hug. Iruka was standing to the side.
She turned her head back down to the scroll on her desk. She rubbed her eyes to stop the tears from leaking out. Then she looked over at Kakashi. She knew that he had been hurt the worst.
I have to be strong. I have to be strong for them and for myself. Tsunade thought as she got up and sat on the edge of her desk.
"Witch one?" She asked looking at the floor. Kakashi head rose a little.
"What?" He asked with a broken voice. The others looked up too.
"I…can bring one back….but only one. So I asked witch one." She looked over at Naruto who had frozen. He had stopped shaking and she didn't even think she saw his chest moving from him breathing.
She waited for a moment then turned around and grabbed the scroll from her desk.
" The breath giving Jutsu is one of the many forgotten Jutsu invented wile the ninja world was still being formed. This Jutsu lets a person give life to a corpse…." Tsunade saw Kakashi flinch at the word corpse. But she continued.
"But there are some major requirements for this Jutsu.
1.The person being brought back can only have been dead for up to 24 hours.
2.The person performing the Jutsu must be an expert medical ninja. Have a well know view on all the necessary protocol for the operation.
3. This Jutsu can only be used once by the person and has serial different effects on the person using the Jutsu. The most severe of them being that the user of the Jutsu life will be shortened. Depending on the time length the ues-e has been dead."
Tsunade stopped reading and put the scroll down on the desk. Then walked to the middle of the room.
"You see the longer we wait the worse it is for me…So with that being said…I'm going to take a vote. Now I know this is hard but all of you where her closest friends so I'm letting you choose. I will vote also." She waited for a second letting it soak in.
"Well I'll go first. I believe Sakura would want us to bring back Zuko. She would want to protect him in anyway she could. Even if it meant her giving up her chance at life."
Kakashi's mind played the memory of Sakura standing in his apartment. He could almost hear her voice.
Sakura I will always look after him. But it isn't going to be an issue because I will never let anything happen to you. The both of you
One part of that stud out. Sakura I will always look after him. He wanted to go back to that time. He wanted her. He wanted to be able to hold her and tell her he loved her. But as much as that he wanted he knew that she would want Zuko to live. And for Kakashi to be the one to raise him. Tsunade snapped Kakashi out of his thoughts.
"Iruka who do you chose?" She asked looking at him. He looked at her with sad eyes.
"Sakura" He said flatly. No one was shocked by this. Tsunade nodded then moved on.
"Asuma?"
"Zuko"
"Kurenai?"
"Zuko"
"Shino?"
"Zuko"
"Kiba"
"Sakura"
"Lee"
"Sakura"
"Naruto?"
"Sakura"
Tsunade turned to Kakashi. "Kakashi? Who do you want?"
Kakashi heart was beating so hard he thought he was having a hart attack. The one he picked would be the one that came back. When he talked his voice sounded raspy and dry like he hadn't had water for days.
"Z….Zuko…" He said.
"Alright then. But with that there is another problem. We are going need a home for him. And as much as I want to keep him, I can't.
Kakashi pushed him off the wall. "I want to raise him." He said the power coming back to his voice.
Tsunade looked at him then smiled. "Anyone have a problem with this?" She asked even though she knew no one would.
"Good. Kakashi come with me." She said as she walked toward the door. "The rest of you may go."
Kakashi walked in behind her as she pushed open the door to the room. It was dark and candles littered the floor. Four medical ninjas were knelling down on what looked like the four edges of a glowing green square. And in the middle of this square Zuko's body was laid with symbols drawn on his legs arms face and heart.
"Kakashi You'll have to wait out side but I'll call you in as soon as it's done." She moved him back and closed the door.
…

…
…
Kakashi had been waiting for almost three hours. He had sat down on the cold floor and it felt good on his cold sweaty hands. He tried to read but he couldn't keep his mind on the words on the page. He didn't know when but soon he had fallen to sleep.
But his dream was him at the hospital just like he was really.
"Why is this taking so long?" He said. Laying his head back on the wall.
"Why are you so impeccant?" Kakashi's eyes flew open. He knew who voice it was but he needed to see for him self.
"Sa..Sa..Sakura? How?" His mouth hung open and his eye was wide with shock.
Sakura smiled and slipped down the wall to sit next to him.
"Your dreaming silly." She said with a smile.
Kakashi looked down at the floor. He couldn't face her. Not after what he had done. He could of brought her back.
"Hey…don't you dare think like that. You gave my son back his life. And your going to give him the love of the father that he never had." She raised her hand to his chin and made him look at her.
"When I woke up in the hospital and you walked threw the door my heart dropped in to the bottom of my stomach. I saw how good you looked and how much Zuko liked you and I knew I could never take you away from him." She smiled.
"I would have never let you." Kakashi said. His eyes were full of sadness and regret. "If only I would have been there." He said as a tear rolled down his cheek.
"No if you would have been there the only difference would have been three dead bodies not two." She reached down and pulled a peace of paper from her pocket.
Then she turned it so Kakashi could see what it was. It was his note. The front was hard to read because of the bloodstain mixed with the ink but he saw his that it was his handwriting.
"I read it." She looked up at his face and was puzzled by his expression.
"Your not mad at me are you?" Sakura asked. Kakashi looked at her and shook his head.
"Never." He said then put this hands on either side of her face pulling her in to a kiss. It only lasted a second but it was so sweet and soft that it had felt like a lifetime.
"I wrote you one too." She said holding up another note. He took it and looked down at the perfect writing.
To: KakashiFrom: your favorite angle.
He knew she meant this as a joke but in fact she was now a angel. He went to say some thing but Sakura put her finger to his mouth. Then pulled her finger away and kissed him.
Sakura pulled away talk but then she looked down at her hand. It looked like it was made of glitter. Kakashi could see right threw it.
"My time is up. I can't stay any longer. Please take care of Zuko teach him right from wrong and other thing that only you can. " She looked back up at him.
"No please stay. I need you. I never got a chance to tell you I loved you." He said this as another tear fell from his face.
"You never had too. I already knew. And besides you just told me." She said.
"But this isn't real! This is just a dream!" Kakashi voice sound desperate. Sakura noticed and pulled him in to another kiss.
" A dream is how you brain shows love, just like your heart. And love is the realest thing that can't be broken." Sakura bent down and cupped his face like he had done to her.
"I love you so much." She said as she ran her fingers over his eye, making it close.
"But it's time to wake up. Wake up."
"Wake up!" Kakashi flung open his eyes to see Tsunade standing over him.
"I thought you would like to know that the operation was successful. Zuko was transported to the hospital. You can go and see him But he'll be asleep and he needs his rest so don't wake him." She looked down to study him then walked down the hall toward her office.
Kakashi's shoulders fell. The thanked god that Zuko was o.k., and that he would be with him. But then his mind flashed back to his dream and his heart begain to ache a little.
He reached up to rub the sleepiness from his eye but when he did he felt something in his hand. Surprised he opened his hand to see what it was.
At first his brain shut down. His eye dashed all over it and when he was sure it was real he picked it up and read the out side.
To: Kakashi
From: You favorite angel.
He was a little afraid to open it. Thinking that this was a dream too and he would wake up and Tsunade would tell him the operation had failed and Zuko was still dead.
But as he pulled the paper apart nothing happened. He finally opened it completely and started to read it.
Dear Kakashi,
I Hope you get this I don't know how this works but I feel like if I write this and tell you how much I love you, that it will some how find you.
I don't really know where I am but for some reason that doesn't bother me. I feel peaceful. You would love it here. At first there's nothing but light and I was just walking around a big empty space But you know as soon as I started writing this a river and forest has appeared. There are birds and deer. I can even see fish in the river from the rock I'm laying on.
I don't know how I got this pen and paper I think it was already here. Zuko was here too but he just got leaded away by a women. She beautiful her white dress is blowing in the breeze. She looks so familiar but I can't think of a name to go with her face, She has big boobs. I think that's a good thing, that he's being taken away. He's waving good-bye. I bet you're the one who he's going to. He loves you a lot. I love you a lot.
Should I be sad? I feel like I should but I can't. I can't remember anything bad that I should be sad about. All I can see when I close my eyes is you. I see you walking with people down a street. But there faces are all blurs. Then I see you in a room leaning on a wall.
Right now when I close my eyes I see you sleeping. You're sitting in a bright hallway. Your head is leaning up on the wall. Your eyes look puffy and red. Have you been crying? I should try to go to you. When I open my eyes the hallway and you are still there.
I'm going to stop writing now. I want to go over to you in this hallway. And the more time I sit here writing the father away the hallway gets. So good-bye and I want you to know I love you. A lot.
I don't think that I'm going to be able to do this again so one more time. I love you.
Sakura
Kakashi had to move the paper from his lap because his tears would make the writing messed up. And he wanted to keep this nice.
It took him a few minutes to stop crying but he did stop and got up and started to walk toward the hospital.
…
…
Zuko tried to looked around the room but someone had raped bandages around his head covering his eyes.
He still felt the thump of pain in his chest from where his father had stabbed him. Zuko let it replay in his head. His father killing his mother then killing him. Him crawling over to her. And saying her name.
He sat up in the bed but quickly found out that it was a bad idea. A sharp pain ripped threw this back, it slammed into the point were his spine met his brain. He yelled out from the pain. As he laid back down. But he stopped yelling when he heard a door fly open.
"Zuko?!" Kakashi said from the edge of the bed. Zuko looked to were the voice had came from.
"Kakashi? Is that you? Take these bandages off!" Zuko said as he pulled at them.
"Stop. I'll get them. You're just going to hurt yourself." Kakashi sat on the edge of the bed and unraveled them.
Zuko blinked trying to get used to the light in the room. But when they adjusted and he saw Kakashi. Zuko couldn't feel the pain any more. He jumped to Kakashi.
Kakashi caught him in his arm. Zuko pushed his face into Kakashi chest and started to cry.
"I tried to save her…but I couldn't…he was…. just to strong." He said between cries.
Kakashi rapped his arms around Zuko pulling him into a hug.
"You will never be responsible for what happen. Never." He said as he put his face in Zuko's hair. And they sat there for a while. Kakashi let Zuko cry on him and told him how proud of him he was. How it took so much courage to stand up to his father.
After Zuko had stopped crying Kakashi picked him up and carried him out of the hospital. As he was walking down the street toward his apartment. Zuko shifted to look up at him.
"Where are we going?" Zuko asked. Kakashi smiled at him then ruffled his hair.
"Home." He answered. Kakashi looked at Zuko but the looked up at the sky.
Your welcome to come too Sakura. He thought as he looked back down to Zuko.
…
…
…
…
…
Zuko was covered in blood. It dripped from his hands and from his face. He tilted his head toward the sky and let the rain wash the blood off. His sharingan was still spinning from his fight it was as if it almost showed his mood.
He looked back down at the dead body below him. The blood and rain had mixed a formed a pool at his feet. The body's eyes were still red but there was a glassy coat over them. Zuko looked at this man with shame. The Great Sasuke Uchiha. There was nothing great about him. He was a murderer and a coward. And how appropriate that he had died on the 20th anniversary of his mother's death.
A movement from the body surprised Zuko. Sasuke had rolled his head so he could see Zuko. He had a smile on his face the made Zuko want to kill him allover again.
"You're a true Uchiha." Sasuke said as he watched Zuko pull his sword off his back.
"No I'm a true Hatake." Zuko said as he plunged the sword threw Sasuke's heart. Loving the look he made before he died.
Zuko then put his sword back in its strap and turned to walk back toward the Leaf village. He looked up at the sun and saw it was setting. Then Zuko started to run. Not only for the feel of the wind and rain on his face as he jumped from tree to tree.
But because his father hated when he was late for dinner.
O.k is that better? I think that is a happy enough ending right well if not I really can't make another chapter so…. Oh but there is one thing I want to explain.
You know in Sakura's letter how a women was leading Zuko away? Yea that was Tsunade and she was bringing him back to life. And in case you didn't know Sakura was in heaven.
