DEATH AND LIFE
Gaara sent a letter back to Tsunade explaining everything and that he would be watching over the girls for awhile. Before the letter got to Tsunade everyone else came back from their missions. She received the letter and read it. She immediately broke down in tears. After a few hours of crying she realized that she had to tell everyone, so she sent out an ANBU Black Op to get the people that were closest to Naruto. They came to Tsunade's office one by one until they were all there. The people she called in were: Kakashi, Kurenai, Guy, Shizune, Haku, Temari, Neji, Tenten, Rock Lee, Shino, Hinata, Kiba, Shikamaru, Ino, Chouji, Sakura, Iruka, Konohamaru, Moegi, Udon, Anko, Ayame, and Teuchi. Teuchi and Ayame were the last ones to arrive. Tsunade had put on a fake straight face in front of everyone. Kakashi broke the silence first, "Why have you summon us Lord Hokage?" he asks. "Well I have received a letter from the Kazekage that is really important", Tsunade explains. "From my brother?" Temari asks. "Yes this is shocking news that none of you will like", Tsunade continued explaining. Most of them didn't know what to expect. "Naruto has…" Tsunade got choked up with tears then continued, "Naruto has died in battle." It took a moment to sink in, just a moment, then all the girls started crying. All of the guys were furious and wanted to know how it happened and who did it. Iruka wanted to see the letter with his own eyes, "May I see the letter so I can read it out loud because you are emotionally unstable Lord Hokage." Tsunade hands the letter to Iruka and he started reading out loud.
From: Gaara the Kazekage
To: Tsunade the Hokage
Dear Tsunade,
It is with great sadness that I report that Naruto has died in battle. His team and I were attacked by Kisame and Itachi. The girls on his team made Kisame mad so he attacked them intending to kill them, but Naruto gave up his life to protect the girls. He jumped in front of the attack and saved the girls' lives. After that the attackers left saying that their jobs were done. Naruto was a great friend that gave his life to protect those on his team. He will be missed greatly. I will be bringing his body back to the Leaf village so you can give him a proper funeral.
Sincerely,
Gaara
P.S. The girls that were on Naruto's team were greatly shaken up by this unexpected incident so I'll be keeping them here and watching over them until they feel like they can return home. Tell everyone I'm sorry I couldn't do anything to save him.
The girls were crying even more after hearing the letter and the guys were shooting out killing intent even Teuchi wanted to kill the guys who did this.
(Three Days Later)
Gaara and Kankuro both came through the front gate with Naruto's body in a casket. They were greeted by Tsunade and the Jounins who took the casket off their hands. They all went to where the burial would be, which is right next to the Third Hokage. When they got there they joined the rest of Naruto's loved ones and other ninja and then five puffs of smoke appeared before them, it was Kinomi, Yuki, Sayuchi, Naomi, and Hanabi. "I'm glad you girls could make", Tsunade said sincerely. "We wouldn't miss his funeral, Lord Hokage", Naomi said very calmly. A few people spoke before Naruto was buried, Iruka was first. "I remember scolding Naruto in class all the time for pulling stupid pranks…", a few people chuckled remembering Naruto's pranks and then Iruka continued, "He was a failure in class or so we all thought. He turn out to be a great ninja and finally got the respect he deserved." Next Kakashi spoke "When I found out Naruto was on the squad I was going to be training I though 'Great I got the troublemaker.', but he proved to me time and time again that he wasn't a troublemaker, but a full-fledge ninja with the confidence to match his stamina. I believed that he would of made a great Hokage." Next it was Sakura's turn to speak, "When I found out that Naruto was going to be on my team I thought 'Man this sucks.', but little by little I found out about his better qualities like how he was so courageous and so much fun to be around and then eventually I fell in love with him. I had finally seen what Hinata saw in him just like the rest of the girls. He was a very nice guy and would die to protect his people." Lastly Neji spoke, "Naruto was a complete failure and a total fool at least that's what I though of him at first, but after he literally beat some sense into me I learned that I was the failure and the fool, so thanks to him I was able to correct that. So from the bottom of my heart I thank you Naruto." After they all spoke there wasn't a dry eye to be seen there, then everyone went up and placed a flower on Naruto's casket except Hinata and Hanabi who both put a flower and cup of instant ramen. Everyone smirked at seeing that, then Tsunade engraved the headstone, it read 'Here lays Naruto Uzumaki a dear friend, a respectable comrade, a caring lover, a great ninja, and a loving son.' After that everyone left one by one until only the girls that loved him were left. Hinata went up to the group of the five 15 year olds and hugs them all. "You girls saw him die that must have been very hard to witness", Hinata says to the girls. "It was horrible!" the five girls say in unison and start crying in Hinata's arms. The rest of the girls saw this and hugged them too.
(Three Months Later)
Life in the Hidden Leaf village was never the same everyone could tell that something was missing and everyone knew what that was. One day Hanabi and Hinata were out in the training grounds looking for herbs that Hinata would turn into medicine later, so they split up to go gather some up. Hanabi was just gathering these herbs when she felt someone else's presence there. Their chakra was incredible she never felt anything like it, it was even more powerful than Itachi's and Kisame's even more powerful than the Lord Hokage's power. Hanabi was terrified, but then the chakra died down and it felt very peaceful. Hanabi was very confused at this point, but that confusion became illusionary when she saw who came out of the bushes. "Hey Hanabi-chan its been awhile", the person said. "Naru-kun!!" she ran towards Naruto and hugged him. "Naru-kun its really you", Hanabi says then starts crying in Naruto arms. "Yeah its really me", Naruto says and holds her closer. "Hey Hanabi are you ok?" Hinata says when coming out of a bush, but then stops dead in her tracks. "N-Naruto-kun? It can't be." Hinata said with her hands over her mouth. "Its nice to see you again Hinata-chan", Naruto said with his trademark grin. Right then Hinata knew he was really Naruto because no one can copy that grin. "Naruto-kun!" she ran over to him crying. Naruto was now holding both Hyuga sisters. "I know you guys missed me, but I still have to say hi to other people", Naruto said thinking that the Hyuga sisters would never let him go. Hinata wiped the tears away from her eyes, "Ok, but promise us you will come visit us later", Hinata said afraid of losing him again. "I promise I will", Naruto said then left.
(At The Hokage's Office)
Tsunade was doing paperwork and didn't even notice that someone came in. "You're actually doing your paperwork without drinking any sake", the person said. "Its because Shizune caught me last time Naru-chan", Tsunade said without taking her eyes off the paperwork. Naruto just waited and Tsunade realized who she was talking to. "Hey Okaa-san", Naruto says with his grin. Tsunade broke through her desk and ran over to Naruto and hugged him and kissed his forehead. How are you here? I thought you were dead?" Tsunade said while tearing up. "Well…", Naruto got cut off. "Tsunade-sama what happened now?" Shizune said while opening the door. "Hello Shizune-chan", Naruto said kinda chuckling at her entrance. "Naruto-kun?" Shizune said in disbelief. "Yeah its me", Naruto said still kinda chuckling. Shizune ran over to him and immediately hugged him and kissed his cheek, then started crying on his shoulder, "It really is you." Naruto takes Shizune's arms off of himself then says, " I'd love to stay, but I have to say hi to some more people." With that said he vanishes in a split second.
(On The Streets Of Konoha)
Sakura was walking down the street in a daze just like she has everyday since Naruto's death. 'Its been three months since he has been gone, but I still can't get over him. I wish he didn't die. Oh maybe I'll have a talk with Ino', she thought to herself. So she walks into Ino's flower shop and spots Ino. "Hey Ino, um do you have a minute?" Sakura asks. "Yeah sure, but let me guess you need someone to talk to, huh?" Ino guesses. "Yeah pretty much", Sakura replies. But before they could talk someone walks through the door. "Hello sir, can I help yo…", Ino said but then cut herself of when she realized who came in. "Well this place hasn't changed since I last seen it", Naruto says while looking around. "Naruto-kun?" Sakura and Ino say in unison, but still in disbelief. Naruto walks up to them and grabs their hands, "It maybe hard to believe, but this is really me", Naruto says to them to help them believe. Immediately after he said that both girls jumped into his arms and started crying. "B-but how are you alive?" Ino asks between tears. "Well I will tell everyone what happened after I go say hello to everyone", Naruto tells Ino. "Naruto-kun I've missed you so much", Sakura says while still crying in Naruto's arms. "I know, I'm sorry for worrying you, but I must go for now, but I will see you girls soon", Naruto says and the two girls release their hugs and he leaves the shop.
Naruto is walking down the streets and the villagers are all in shock to see that the one they hated and feared was alive again and Naruto enjoyed watching their expressions. 'Hmmm who should I see next?' Naruto pondered to himself. "Oh I know who", Naruto said then ran off. He hides behind some bushes and conceals his chakra so no one can sense him. In front of him was Neji, Rock Lee, and Tenten, all of which were training. Naruto saw them and wrote something on a piece of paper and attached it to a kunai. Lee and Tenten were teaming up against Neji to see if they could get a hit on him. "Leaf Hurricane!" Lee shouted and launched his attack. "Rising Twin Dragons!" Tenten shouted and also launched her attack, but before the attacks started all three of them saw a kunai swirl in front of Tenten and hit a tree. They all stop their attacks and Tenten grabs the letter attached to the kunai. "I'm back", Tenten reads it out loud, "What does that mean?" Lee asks, but Neji and Tenten just shake their heads in not knowing the answer to Lee's question. "It means that I came back", Naruto says walking out of the bushes, all three of them immediately took fighting positions. "What? Naruto? But you are suppose to be dead", Neji says in disbelief at what he sees. "Yeah, but I'm not. I'll tell you why later. I just dropped by to say", Naruto said but before he could finish Tenten had ran over to him and gave him a passionate kiss on the lips. Lee and Neji were still standing there in disbelief, but not from Naruto being alive but from the heated kiss between Naruto and Tenten. They broke the kiss off, "Well seems like that one was saved for awhile, huh Tenten", Neji said and Tenten started blushing madly. Naruto, Lee, and Neji start laughing, "It's good to see you guys again", Naruto says to Neji and Lee. "Ditto", Neji says. "Ha ha ha you should have been at your funeral Naruto", Lee says. "Why?" Naruto asks. "Because Neji was crying", Lee says while laughing. "No I wasn't", Neji says. "Yeah you were", Lee says still laughing. "Shut up Lee!" Neji yells at him. "Well I would like to stay and chat with you guys but I have more people to say hi to, so see ya", and with that said Naruto vanished.
(At A Local Hotel In Town)
The three sand siblings were in the hidden leaf village at the time staying at a local hotel, but the only reason they were here was because Gaara has some business to do here. They were all in their room right now relaxing for the day. "Hey Kankuro, didn't you call for room service like half an hour ago?" Temari said a little ticked off. "Yeah, I wonder what's taking them so long?" Kankuro said trying not to get on his sister's bad side. "Well we're not the only people staying at this hotel", Gaara says and Temari and Kankuro agree. Suddenly there's a knock at the door, "Room service", the person said. "It's about time!" Kankuro says and goes to open the door. He opens the door and freezes, then turns around and faces his two siblings. "Kankuro you're acting like you seen a ghost or something", Temari said shaking her head. "I think I did", Kankuro says kinda shaky. "What do you mean?" Gaara says interested in this. "This is what I mean", Kankuro steps to the side and behind him stood Naruto. "Naruto-kun?" Temari said and stared at him. "Kankuro you should have seen your face when you opened up the door, it was priceless", Naruto said laughing at Kankuro, who was still standing in disbelief. "Yup that's definitely Naruto", Gaara says. "Hey guys long-time-no-see", Naruto says while rubbing the back of his head. Temari practically flies towards Naruto tackling him towards the ground. "Ow that hurt", Naruto said then looked into Temari's now tearing eyes. "Temari are you o…", Naruto got cut off when Temari's lips met his own. They were like that for a few seconds then they broke apart. "Well I'm confused", Kankuro said while raising an eyebrow. "Well I'm going to tell everyone what happened after I meet everybody", Naruto says. "That's fine Naruto, we're just glad to see that you're alive", Gaara says happy to know that his best friend is alive again. "Okay, well I'll see you all later", with that said Naruto walks out of the hotel.
Naruto goes walking through town again and in the distance he sees Shino, Kiba, Shikamaru, Chouji, Kurenai, Kakashi, Guy, Iruka, and Anko. 'Hehehe, this is going to be fun', Naruto thinks to himself. He walks straight up to the group, "Hey wassup guys?" Naruto asked. Everyone's eyes fell on him. Kakashi was the first to talk, "Um…Naruto how are you alive?" "I'll explain that later Kakashi-sensei", Naruto told him. Iruka was about to hug Naruto, but Kurenai and Anko beat him to it. Everyone was stunned to see Kurenai and Anko hugging Naruto so intensely and crying. "Um…did I miss something?" Naruto asked. Anko and Kurenai dried their tears then said in unison, "We'll talk later." "Ok", Naruto told them. "Well there are still a few more people I need to say hi to so later everyone", Naruto said then disappeared.
(In Front Of Haku's Apartment)
Haku opened her door and went outside. She walked down the stairs, but slipped on some water and was about to hit the ground. She closed her eyes and waited for the ground to come, but it never did. She opened her eyes to see Naruto holding her in a bridle style. "Naruto-kun?" She said in disbelief. "Yeah its really me, Haku-chan", He said and she hugged him around his neck. "I've been so lonely since I thought you were dead", Haku says while crying on his shoulder. "I know and I'm sorry", Naruto says and gives Haku a light kiss on her cheek. "Well I still have a few people to say hi to so I have to go", he says and puts her down. "Ok, but come back and see me again, ok?" She asks and Naruto replies, "Ok, I will." Then he vanishes.
(At Ichiraku Ramen)
Naruto walks in and sits down. "Hey old man give me the number 1, please", Naruto tells Teuchi. 'A number 1? We don't serve that anymore and only Naruto knows about the number 1 special' Teuchi thinks to himself then looks at the customer. "Yo", Naruto says with his grin. "Right away sir", Teuchi says then says, " One number 1 Ayame." "What? I thought we stop serving that one since Naruto isn't here anymore", she said while she walked to the front were Teuchi was. She look at the customer and started to tear up. "Hey Ayame, long time-no…" Naruto got cut off. Ayame jumped over the counter and landed in Naruto lap and locked her lips with his. 'Her lips taste like ramen. I like it', Naruto thinks and kisses back. They break it up and Ayame starts blushing, "This explains why you would always blush then run away for me", Naruto says then continues, "I'm sorry I can't stay longer, but I have to see someone else." He took Ayame off his lap then left.
(At The Uchiha Estate)
Naomi, Kinomi, Sayuchi, and Yuki were all here spending something with each other. Naruto opened the door and let himself in. He saw the girls standing close to each other and he disappeared, then reappeared in back of them and then hugged them all in one hug. "I'm sorry you girls had to see that, but I'm back now", Naruto said while hugging them. They were all in shock and it took awhile to sink in. "Naruto-kun,-senpai,-sama!" they all said in unison and hugged Naruto back and started crying. "I'm so very sorry you girls had to go through that and I swear you never will go though that again", Naruto said in a calm, soothing voice and kissed all of them on the cheek then continued, "I have to go now, but I'll see you girls soon." After he said this he vanished.
