Kyuubi: There you are!! Since it's about 5:00, you're no longer lunch.

MS: Really?

Kyuubi: Yes, you're dinner.

MS: (gulp) I was afraid of that. Uh, HEY LOOK!! IT'S THE FOURTH HOKAGE!!!!

Kyuubi: Shut it. I'm not falling for it.

" Ugh, where am I?" Naruto woke up in some sort of sewer. It was nasty everywhere. Water on the ground, pipes in the walls, and the scent of rotting flesh. Naruto walked until he found himself infront of a giant cage with a seal on it. " Kyuubi." Naruto murmured under his breath. The fox only smiled evily. " It seems that you're now dead, kit" Kyuubi said. Naruto only sneered. " At least this means that you won't be hurting anyone for the rest of eternity!!!" Naruto yelled. The fox only chuckled. " On the contrary, the seal only works if the host is alive. You, however, are not. This means that the seal is officially broken." As he said this, the paper seal crumbled up, and fell into the water.

" At least my body is rotting now, so you can't have control." Naruto said. The fox was still nonchalant about the down sides. "Actually, I can still heal the body, and take control of it. Also, to make sure that you don't get in the way, i'll seal you away, just like they did me." the fox said. Just then, red chakra was hovering around Naruto, and then he fell to the floor exhausted. " Why y-you..." He was then knocked out. In a few seconds, he woke up in a cage. Also, to his horror, the cage a a seal on it.

" CURSE YOU KYUUBI!!!" Naruto yelled. The Kyuubi just laughed maniacly. " Now you won't get in the way while I destroy Konoha." the fox said. " You vile monster!!" Naruto shouted. The fox just chuckled. " Thank you, I try to be."

He then disappeared.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kakashi and Sakura were waiting for Naruto and Sasuke. " Where are they?!" Sakura said, completely worried. Just as she said this, a figure was seen in the clearing. He had dark hair, and had the Uchiha symbol. " Sasuke!!" Sakura ran to Sasuke. However, she noticed something. " Sasuke, where's Naruto?!" Sasuke just looked at her and shook his head. She didn't understand at first, but as soon as she did, tears welded up in her eyes. Kakashi was also shocked.

" I'ts all my fault. If I didn't let that sound nin...if I wasn't so cocky...if I was more careful......Oh, Naruto..." Kakashi was letting out tears on his visible eye. Sakura was in full-blown sobs. When Kakashi and Sakura were walking away, Sasuke let out a sick grin. They then journeyed back to Konoha.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The team first went to Tsunade to tell the horrible news. They found her drinking sake, however, she didn't appeared to be drunk. " Hokage..." Kakashi started. Tsunade looked up from her drink. " What do you want, Kakashi? I'm on my break." she said. She then noticed something. Someone was missing. " Hey, where's Naruto?" Tears were welding up in Sakura's eyes again. Tsunade noticed this and became worried. " Guys, seriously, where's Naruto?" She asked. Kakashi then spoke up. " Tsunade... he's...uh...he's..." "Dead." Sasuke finished for him. " Tsunade then was shocked, and collapsed on her desk, letting her tears fall out. " How...how could t-this happen?" she asked. Sasuke then decided to lie. " Naruto and I were separated from Kakashi and Sakura. At the moment, we were fighting off sound nin. However, while Naruto was fighting a certain ninja, another one came up behind him and stabbed him with a katana." he said. Tsunade was letting out the tears from her eyes. She then gave the team one more mission. " I-i need you t-to go and t-tell the o-others the news. I-it will be hard to take in. We a-all have been helped and supported b-by him." she said. The three were hesitant, but they did it anyway.

First was Ino.

They knocked on the door to her flower shop. She came out with a dead plant. " Hey guys. Sad day today. You see, this is a special flower my grandmother made. It tells about someone's life. If the person's dead, it's dead. What do you need?" They were very hesitant at first. When she heard the news, she was shocked, and when they left, she leaned on the wall, silent tears falling down her cheeks.

Next was Shikamaru.

When they told Shikamaru, instead of being careless, he had his mouth wide open, as well as his eyes. He was stuttering a few words they couldn't make out. Shikamaru actually saw Naruto as a younger brother. When they left, he silently weeped over his dead ally.

Next was Choji.

He was eating his chips while reading at the time. When he heard the news, he dropped his bag, and was silent for a few minutes. He spent the rest of the day not eating.

Next was Kiba.

Kiba and Akamaru were just playing with eachother at the time. When they heard the news, Kiba kept on shouting on why Naruto had to die and he didn't live long enough for a rematch. Akamaru was howling. His howl was full of sorrow and despair.

Shino was up next.

" He will be missed." Shino said. The others were shocked at him being nonchalant about the matter, but they didn't question him. However, as soon as they left, he let out a few tears. Like Shikamaru, Naruto was like a brother to Shino.

Next was the Hyuga estate.

As soon as Hinata and Neji heard the news, Neji was just shocked and was trying to absorb what he was just told, and Hinata broke out in sobs, and ran up to her room. " Naruto..." she let out silent tears as she stared at a picture of her and Naruto.

Next was Rock Lee.

When he learned of the news, he cried. Not the usual chibi tears he sheds. Instead, he sheds real tears because he lost a comrade.

Next was Tenten.

Like everyone else, she was shocked. She let out silent tears throught the day.

They sent a message to Suna. When the siblings got the message, Temari was sobbing, Kankuro was extremely depressed, and Gaara just stood there, eyes wide open in shock.

They then let the senseis know. When they told them Kurenai cried, Asuma punched his fist into the wall, and Gai was crying just like Lee.

They then went home, wanting Naruto to come back.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Naruto was on the ground, motionless. Just then, however, his body was twitching like crazy. It was jerking back and forth as if it had been poisoned. Just then, the body stopped, and sat up. Naruto lived, but at the same time, wasn't Naruto. " Guess what, Konoha. I'm baaaaaaack." He then chuckled. Who knows what the future holds.
