"Naruto, so 6th sent you." Sasuke said, not releasing what seems to be Chidori. He was wearing a grin of twisted delight.
"God damn it, Sasuke! What are you doing here!" Naruto shouted.
"What? It seems like you don't want to see an old friend!"
"The Sasuke I called a friend left us, deserted us years ago!"
"How is Sakura?" Sasuke asked like it was a reunion.
"How could you! How could you ask a thing like that after you left her!"
"Now, now. Don't get angry on me."
"No matter, I'll make you pay!" with these words, Naruto charged with his Rasengan on his palm, meanwhile Sasuke just countered with his Chidori. The two jutsus collided; Naruto was blown off ten meters upon impact.
"Hmm, I didn't imagine Chidori Cross to be that powerful."
"Chidori Cross?"
"Oh yes, I developed a new technique. Unless you have a new technique up your sleeve, you won't last a few minutes against me.
"Matter of fact, I do. I perfected Rasengan."
"Looks like you made progress, dead last…"
"What did you say! SASUKE-JERK!"
For the first time in years, the two best friends shared a laugh…
The jutsus of the two powerful ninjas were colliding onto each other. It was just a matter of who had more chakra.
"Give up Sasuke, you still have a chance, revamp yourself. For God's sake, come back to us!"
Slowly, the curse seal was covering Sasuke's face. It looks like Naruto will win, but Naruto's lack of will power to hurt his friend failed him again.
One of Neji's opponents suddenly jumped at the downed Naruto and tried to thrust a big blade into him but due to a miracle, Sasuke took a hit for Naruto. Neji killed both of his opponents with his tenketsu. He suddenly realized who was lying on the ground, dying.
"Naruto thanks. This is the only way I can return to konoha. Tell sakura I am sorry I left." He paused for a while; he was already throwing up blood. He drew a pouch from his pocket. "take this, bring it to 6th. Please take care of my daughter. I sent her to konoha. Her mother is…" But Sasuke couldn't last; he didn't say who the mother was. Naruto was crying, just when he was reunited with his best friend, he dies. He looked into the bag. It contained the ten Akatsuki rings. Naruto didn't realize the fighting was already finished; he was surrounded by his team mates, and another person. The other person was the one with the green eyes. She took of her mask and tried to revive Sasuke, but her efforts were in vain.
Naruto understood that Sakura followed him on his mission because of the information that Sasuke might be there.
Sakura desperately tried to revive her friend. Naruto knew that she will just fail, she pulled her from the body and took her in her arms. Sakura couldn't do anything for her fallen comrade, except cry…
