Yay! 20 Chapter celebration!!! Don't ask why I didn't do this on chapter 20 because I'm gonna tell you.

1.) I was rushing. I'm at school right now.
2.) I didn't bother (It was prewritten, you can see the typos and all. [:)

Yeah. That's all. This chapter's also prewritten, and sadly...the last chapter. AHHH NOOOO!!!!

I'm sad...but not to fear my fans! (IF I have any), they'll be more. It's a surprise. [:

Well...this is it. Chapter 21. The LAST chapter in this fanfic. -cries-

Di-D-D...-sobs some more- I'm to sad too write the disclaimer. I'll let my friend Catherine do it.

Catherine: WTF?! She's so weird. -points at Alyssa- Okay then...

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.

20 MINUTES LATER...

Alyssa: OH NO!!! My good rewrite of this story is in my laptop!!! Aww...so I'll guessing I won't be able to finish Reunions here in school with people watching. :P Oh well...I'll finish this update at home. [:

His coffin was lowered into the ground and on it was the famous Uchiha clan symbol. You could hear the sound of people there.

A deafening silence.

Naruto and Sakura had been the nearest to the (pretty much) saviour of the village; the last ounce of the Uchiha's strength was being locked up in a case. It contained a person that now didn't seem to exsist.

The pink haired girl began to sob, as her blonde companion hugged her in an embrace of comfort. Sakura uncontrollably mourned as Naruto's cerulean eyed couldn't help but shed a tear, for Sakura...and Sasuke too.

'A ninja must never how their emotions.' Sakura thought to herself, willingly letting her tears cry themselves out. She couldn't stop. It's Sasuke we're talking about here.

"It's gonna be okay, Sakura-chan," he whispered, stroking her cherry blosson coloured hair. The kunoichi wreck cried on anyway, knowing Naruto was there for her. In the corner of his cerulean coloured eye, he saw the other Konoha 11leave, which meant Sasuke's coffin had already been buried. He sighed as Sakura paused her crying, and wiped her eyes.

"Naruto-niichan," a small voice came and rang in his ears. Said shinobi look toward the direction of his name being called.
"Yeah?"
"You're gonna stay here?"

Naruto nodded, still hugging Sakura. "Kai, either stay with Hinata-chan or Konohamaru...okay?"

"Hn." she simply replied to her cousin. She walked away, with a dull look in her green coloured eyes, and her hands in the pocket of her ebony coloured attire. Although she didn't know Sasuke that well, she still felt the pain that Naruto and Sakura had.

Sakura leaned on Naruto, hurt and traumatized about what happened on their mission. Naruto sighed at his suffering teammate.

"Sakura-chan," he began with a sad tone mixed into his voice.
"Yeah Naruto-kun?" (A/N: Yes, she respects him more now!!!)
"I'm so sorry,"

Sakura gave the blonde a slighty confused look. "Well, what ever it is, it-"
"I'm sorry…I broke my promise…the promise of a lifetime."

The kunoichi look at the blonde boy, seeing tears stream down his face. She then remembered what he meant.

"Even you weren't able to convince Sasuke, were you?" Shikamaru questioned the pink haired girl with a rare and strict tone. Naruto gasped at the chuunin's question. "All that's left is to force him to understand." The ebony haired one continued. "Sakura, your chance is over."

Her green eyes became dull as she looked down at the ground with regret and sheepishness.
"That means…you and Sasuke…" Naruto said, eyes wide in surprise. It was right then and there that Sakura began to slowly break out into tears.
"Sakura-san," Lee murmured, watching her cry.

Everyone watched the girl as they knew she was about to say something.

"Naruto," she began, choking on her own tears. "I beg of you, please bring back Sasuke-kun!"
The blonde haired boy looked at his kunoichi teammate cry with that pained expression. "I couldn't do it….I couldn't stop him. The only thing left that could stop Sasuke-kun is…"

Naruto looked at her attentively as Sakura continued. "You… Naruto. Only you…"

His attentive look of concern changed into an endeavor of relief as Sakura's words were absorbed by him. He gave a slight smile as he closed his eyes.

"Sakura-chan likes Sasuke very much." He said with a fox-like grin on his face. Sakura looked at him with water-filled eyes, and tears running down her face. "Right now, you're in pain. A pain I know as well."

The kunoichi looked at the orange clad one with a look of shocked relief.

'He loves to barge into people's love affairs. It's as if he enjoys the pain I go through. Naruto doesn't know anything about me. He's just annoying.'

She trembled in relief, still crying…but now tears of joy. Naruto turned to her, a sly smile on his face.
"Naruto," Sakura said. "Thank you!"
The boy swung his arm around, holding out a "thumbs up", and a smile on his face.

"I will definitely bring back Sasuke!" he said with a reassured and unrivaled grin.

"That's the promise of a lifetime!"

Sakura sighed. "No Naruto-kun," she began. "You didn't break your promise."
"Wha-"
"Naruto-kun," she silenced him with her index finger to his lips. He looked at her with wide eyes of surprise.

"You brought the old Sasuke-kun back to us." she stated to her friend. "It was just like old times." Sakura looked up at the grey tinted sky, a slight smile on her face.
"Just like…old times?" he asked. She confirmed with a timid giggle.

"Yes, Naruto-kun,"

Just like old times…

Narrarator: You can hear sobbing in the background as you reach this last authors note.

Yes...I'm a sad now. D: And I bet you're all too. Now, I shall give my thanks!
