Epilog: At The Graveyard
Kakashi, Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke all stood before a gravestone. Sakura laid a flower down at the freshly upturned soil. They stood there for a minute in silence until Kakashi said something.
"She was strong, and she was an amazing ninja. There will be none that match her power, but now that she is gone that is not what counts. She is real life proof that people can change no matter what. We taught her that no one had to be alone, but more importantly she taught us what true strength is. True strength is being able to change, being able to find friendship after years of solitude. True strength is being able to protect the people you care about no matter what holds you back. Though she is gone, she will never truly leave us, she only wanted to have free will, she only wanted to be loved and remembered. As long as she is not forgotten she will not have died in vain. She is strong, in more important ways than physical strength,"
With that Kakashi departed.
Sakura sobbed slightly and left also.
Sasuke softly whispered, "You will not be forgotten," and walked away.
Naruto stayed there for a moment, "You are very real…" he said.
Naruto followed along the gravestones and stopped before another. Naruto slipped a kunai out of his pocket that was stained with blood. It was the same one he had in his hand the night he and Sasuke sat in the training area. It was the same knife that Kirakazuka had stabbed Sayuri with and vise versa.
"This blood belongs on your hands," he said as he dropped the kunai on the ground and it stuck up from the soil. Naruto then turned and walked away.
