So Far Away
Chapter Four: Uzumaki Naruto
'I'm
not afraid of tomorrow,
I'm only scared of myself,
feels like
my insides are on fire,
And I'm looking through the eyes of someone else'
With Suke getting older and stronger Naruto, reluctantly, was being sent on more away missions. Though the joy of going back to his son, and Rokudaime-in-training lessons, made Naruto a rather unbearable person on missions, or at least very un-Naruto like. He was more reserved and quiet than usual and often finished the job quickly depending on what kind of mission it was. Being an Anbu now he was often sent on what he and Kakashi called 'Silencing Mission's. Others put it more simply as killing someone. Sai's favourite phrase being 'Just stab the fucker through the heart why don't you dickless! Jeez not even any torture!', which Naruto often ignored as he was usually heading home by then.
Weeks turned into months and Suke's first birthday was fast approaching. It had already been decided by Sakura and Ino that Suke was going to have a birthday party and they were all going to attend - Even Hinata who was three months pregnant with Shino's child and Neji and his four month old son Hotaru. Yes not only Naruto had a child. Not long after Suke was born Tenten gave birth to Hotaru and then Hinata told Naruto and Neji one training session that she was pregnant. Naruto was happy that Suke would have some ninja friends to play with, very happy.
Around a month before Suke's First Birthday Tsunade approached Naruto saying she had a month long mission for him. Naruto hesitated before agreeing knowing Iruka and Sakura would take care of the preparations of Suke's party. Tsunade had assured the blond he would be back before the actual party though and advised him to buy Suke's birthday present now and leave it for him. Naruto declined the suggestion and left the office.
The next day at noon Naruto left on his spying mission in his Anbu gear. He and Sai had been paired together for this mission. Not that Naruto minded as long as they made it back in time for Suke's party. And so, with their pray leaving the village, the duo departed on the mission. Neither said anything to each other as they followed in silence. Stopping when only their pray stopped to rest, eat or drink. They knew what they were doing. Missions like these were simple. To Naruto nothing could possibly go wrong. Nothing at all. In a matter of a Month he'd be back to Suke. He'd promised the infant that 'Dada' would be coming back soon. Naruto never broke his promises. Never.

'I
remember when you
told me
I should live like I'm dying
and not to close my eyes
while everything burns'
"NARUTO!" Sai yelled as a kunai flew at the blond. Naruto ducked quickly before jumping back next to Sai as his eyes scanned around. They were around four days away from the end of the mission and currently stuck in a battle with a gang of enemy ninja. Panting Naruto's hand moved to the two chains around his neck. One Tsunade had given him the other Sasuke. Naruto was planning on giving Suke the second necklace of the ravens first birthday. That's way it was something from him and Sasuke. Just like Suke was.
So while Naruto lost himself in his thoughts Sai worked on trying to spot the attacking ninja. Sai counted. The duo was out numbered Four to two. Panting Sai swore to himself. "It's no good Naruto. We're outnumbered." He whispered in the blond's ear. Nearby someone laughed. Sai reacted quickly and threw a kunai in that direction. To his despair the kunai was blocked falling uselessly to the ground. Naruto snapped out of his thoughts after coming up with a plan of action. "I'll take the girl and Mr Laughter over there." Naruto said jerking his thumb towards the person Sai had thrown the kunai at. "You take the other two."
That decided the battle continued. Naruto was now facing Uchiha Madara and Karin while Sai was facing Juugo and Suigetsu. Or so the four had said they were called. Naruto could tell the Madara guy was most likely an Uchiha for his only eye was a sharingan. For some reason this only angered Naruto.
What now Kyuubi?
Kill them Kit. I'll lend you as much chakra as you need. I have a bone to pick with Madara-San
As you wish Kyu-San, kill them I shall.
Snapping out of his conversation with his demon fox Naruto started forming his rasengan as he glared at Madara. The girl had left his sight long ago as she ran to help her teammates who, by the sounds of things, were being eaten by one of Sai's ink dragons. Naruto chuckled at the thought. Madara's lips curved into a sneer. "What's so funny demon?" He snarled to the blond. Naruto merely laughed loudly and jumped up a fully formed rasengan in hand. "I was imagining if you'd look any better dead, Uchiha!" Naruto snarled as he propelled himself down at Madara.
With his hand inches away from Madara's chest Naruto saw only victory. Only it was short lived as Juugo, after 'borrowing' the dead Suigetsu's sword, came up behind the blond impaling the sword in his chest. Naruto collapsed onto the Uchiha his rasengan burning a hole through Madara's heart killing him instantly. Naruto however wasn't quite dead yet. Though after seeing Juugo run off Sai quickly finished off Karin before leaping at Juugo. Unfortunately the large male had already departed the battle scene.
Swearing to himself Sai slowly eased the blade out of Naruto's back earning him a headache from the blond's shrieks of pain. Once the sword was out Sai carefully rolled Naruto off the dead Uchiha and brushed the tears off the blond's face. The normally emotionless raven felt a sharp pang in his chest as he saw Naruto's chest starting to stop rising as the blond took his dying breathes. "Naruto don't die on me. Come on Dickless it's your sons Birthday in a week." Sai pleaded with the blond.
Naruto merely smiled weakly at Sai. "It's…over… I let my guard down… please Sai… tell everyone I love them." Naruto whispered. Sai bit down on his lip as his eyes started watering. He couldn't believe the hyperactive-knucklehead was just going to give up like this! Sai wouldn't let him. "No Naruto! You tell them all when we get back! You're going to be alright Naruto. Come on! You're not even Hokage yet!!" Sai exclaimed as he moved to pick the blond up.
Kyu-San you can't just let me die like this! Sai's right what about Suke!
I'm sorry Kit I've tried. But I can't do anything!
Kyuubi…. It's all over then isn't it? We've lost….
No Kit… we won. Everyone respects you Kit. Your child is safe….
He stopped as he felt Naruto's hand grip his wrist. "Sai… my necklaces are for Suke… give them to him please…. Hokage… Dattebyo I made it part way…. I'm sorry…" Naruto muttered before his grip loosened and his chest stopped moving.
