Naruto POV
After that fight I woke up in hospital a week later, tsunade bought me back I guess, after asking what happened to pervy-sage I just got given glum looks and told he didn't make it. I've been spending most oh my time pretending like I'm fine, that my godfather wasn't dead. If I even accept it a little I know it will be true that he is really dead, and I'm not ready for that not yet.
I'm still stood in front of the head stone but its like the reality still isn't setting in. I've been here for 3 hours 2 of which Sasuke has been hiding probably not wanting to interrupt.
"You can come out teme."
"How'd-"
"I sensed you when you first got here, you're not the best at hiding your chakra you know."
"Tch, dobe"
"If your just here to insult me please leave" I'm not in the mood right now, I can't deal with it.
"That's not why I'm here, Sakura she was out of line I came here to-"
"Sasuke I'm fine, I've grown a thick skin over the years when it comes to hatred."
Sasuke POV
I'm completely shocked, this isn't the Naruto I know, the one I've grown to Care for.
I still don't know all the details of jiraiya's death, all I know there was a three way battle between some rogue ninja.
"Naruto, she didn't mean it." I didn't know what else to say.
"yes she did otherwise she wouldn't have said it, either way it doesn't matter she was right. About everything"
"What do you mean, how was she right?" I don't get it, how could she possibly have been right!
"IT'S MY FAULT, HE WAS PROTECTING ME, WHEN IT MATTERED I COULDN'T DO ANYTHING, I WAS USELESS!!" at this point I could see the sobs racking his body like it was the first time he'd realised he was dead.
"Naruto, listen to me jiraiya's death was not your fault."
"Then how is it I could save you from him but not my own sensei?!!"
"Wait Naruto were you against orochimaru?!?!" I saw him flinch at the name and could feel the killing intent coming of him, I guess that answers my question.
"-h-he killed him right in front of me, he swung aiming for me, but I never got hit, I o-opened my eyes to my worst fears."
"I'm all alone again Sasuke, why can't anyone stick around, why can't I be Happy. I'm sick of being lonely, of being hated and shunned for something I have no control over. WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS LIFE!" His crying had become uncontrollable so I did the only thing that came to mine, I held him.
He clung onto my shirt sobbing and wailing until eventually he fell asleep. I carried him back to his apartment, after placing him in bed I decided to leave I thought he'd want some time on his own when he woke up.
Sorry for the short Para...
