"So much chakra? This isn't the Biiju power!"
"My own power?" Kirame whispered to herself in awe. "Oooooo I feel so light and swift!"
"I don't get it" Tobi interrupted.
"Beat that sucka" Kirame shouted as she formed a blue sphere of crystal, ice and wind. She fused the three elements together as they hovered above her hand. A sort of shield protected her from the outside, she was isolated into her own globe. No one could pierce through it and Tobi didn't dare take one step forward.
(Naruto)
Is that her real power? It's not the Biiju's power! It was in her all this time but she never really found herself in such a situation and didn't need to use this power. Kirame is so awesome. So her white chakra was her own. That means the Biiju was using her power! Then it's just the ability to destroy and hate that belonged to the Biiju. Kirame had a stronger power.
"Kirame this is your own power! That damn Biiju used your power. You're much stronger!" I shouted.
"I…I am?" Kirame was still in a state of shock. Her face was blanched with both fear and fascination.
"Yeah but I still don't think I'm letting out enough"
"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?" Naruto almost fainted at her reply.
"I need you Naruto… we can beat this guy"
"Sure thing, love"

Naruto smiled and ran to her side, entered the protecting sphere, gave her a kiss and a smile.
He began to form a rasen-futon shuriken. A beautiful white swirled around in an orb above Naruto's hand. Kirame began to force her chakra into the orb. He held her hands and around them formed the great spell.
"Naruto" Kirame said as she looked into his deep cerulean eyes, finding nothing but love in them.
"Yes?"
"This white chakra is a mix of all the elements, even compound elements. I felt my body take it all the nature around me. I felt my spirit embrace them"
"No way babes"
"Yes way bebeh"
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's finish the bastard"
"Totally!"
"Naruto, Kirame rasengan"
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIT… Dude… Seriously?"
"Whaaaaaaaaat? I like it" he blushed slightly.
"Kay"
They both ran into Tobi who stood there unable to move after the damage done to him by Kirame and Naruto.
BAM
Naruto and Kirame rammed the rasengan into Tobi. The attack detached from their hands. It seemed to eat up his body, shredding it. Soon, there would be nothing left of him. He was finally gone.
"We did it!" Naruto shouted and picked Kirame up, holding her tightly. They smiled upon their victory.
Naruto set Kirame down but he realized… she wasn't pulling her own weight and her eyes were closed. She suddenly coughed up blood.
Naruto gasped and with her, sank to the ground. He held her in his arms. The other ninja, who had been watching the whole time, were now struggling to crawl out of and put all their remaining strength left together, circling around Kirame.
"What's going on? Sakura shouted "Kirame?" She knelt down beside her
"Will she be okay Sakura?"
"Let me check" Sakura checked her pulse from her wrist. "It's…. unstable!"
"Try healing her!" Naruto shouted. There were already tears in his eyes.
Sakura's glowing hands tried to heal her friend.
"Naruto" Kirame softly called.
"Yes?"
"I wouldn't have made it this far without you. I think I know why I met you. You made me realize that I was never part of the Biiju. Everyone did"
"Anytime" he spoke as he found it harder to breathe.
All of a sudden, tears streamed down Sakura's face.
"Sakura, what's wrong?"
"She…" Sakura was about to say it but covered her mouth and cried even more. The wound wouldn't heal and her pulse was weakening by the minute. Nothing could be done.
"I know Sakura. I won't live any longer"
"No, don't say that, please don't say that. Isn't there any cure? You can't die now. Please"
"Naruto, I can't decide whether to live to not but I wish I could stay longer. Just a few months ago I didn't… want to live…. But you and kitty saved my life… and everyone here showed me that there's so much more to life if you change. They showed me real friendship… no matter what I was. Naruto… you actually made me believe in myself… because of you I felt that I could do something great and I did. Thank you Naruto, Kitty, Sakura, Hinata, Kiba, Shikamaru, Neji, Ten-ten, Choji, Shino, Tsunade-sama, Jiraya- sama, Shizune…. Everyone, thank you for everything" She didn't miss a name.
"Please don't go… I can't lose another great friend" Kakashi spoke and held her hand.
"You're the best, kitty and I love you… Naruto, I love you"
"I do too, I always will" he softly said as he felt her slowing heart beat against his. His face was stained with wet tears. He held Kirame tightly, held her hand tightly.
Shikamaru walked over to Kirame and knelt down.
"You've taught us… that this world is mostly of hate and sorrow… but flowers still bloom. I'll be just like that flower…very, very soon. You proved that to all of us Kirame. You're a great ninja and an even better friend"
"So are you Shika… you all are. When… Naruto becomes Hokage… he'll be the best one ever"
The future Hokage wept but Kirame wiped those tears away with every bit of strength she had left and held his cheek… looked deep into the eyes of the love of her life.
"I promise I'll remember you every second of the day… I will be Hokage… you'll always be in my heart and you Kirame, you're a true ninja"
"That's only because you changed me… I love you all… Naruto, you taught me what love is, you gave your heart to me and I gave you mine. I love you so much Naruto"
"I love you more"
Rain poured from the gray sky as Naruto and Kirame smiled at one another for the last time. They shared their last kiss… holding on tight and could feel each other's warmth. Each other's heart beat…. Kirame's dying heartbeat.
Those words echoed in her mind as his voice faded. She departed from this world but with so much. She found a reason to live; she deserved to die with honor, with love and with a true identity. She finally understood the meaning of life and friendship. She knew what it meant to believe, kept the will of fire burning to keep it eternal, travelled though the dark tunnel of life and reached the end where she could see the truth. Her illusion of being a monster now meant nothing to her but there was another illusion to be cleared: her dream… she turned it to reality and broke the barrier that separated illusions and reality with the power to believe.
Kirame Ryukaze made the best of her life here and accepted the fact that she would be no more on this earth but she would be remembered and ever alive in the hearts of her friends. She didn't strive for her last breath, instead, she thought of all those she loved dearly and kept their images in her mind for as long as she could. She was happy to leave like this.
It rained for the last time in Kirame's life… again the rain felt so alive. Kirame knew why. It's because when you're with a friend, everything seems better. She left with all her friends beside her.
