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

Naruto seems to linger on the consciousness of his depression as he waits around sitting against the rock feet of the Shodaime. He cast his gaze to the cloudy sky that seems to release the ocean down upon the place.

The black swirls of rain clouds seem to stay fastened in place as the thick wind blows threw the trees carrying the scents of two incoming objects. Naruto keeps his eyes focused on the sky as Itachi speaks to Naruto his voice filled with pain yet he seems to accept his incoming death. "Naruto-kun. Why do you fight so hard for Sasuke's happiness?"

Naruto keeps his look to the clouds. "Because Itachi-san. Sasuke was like a brother to me, he walked in the same darkness, the same shadows that I was born inside. He helped me ease my loneliness even if it was only for awhile."

Itachi laughs. "You definitely are a worthier brother than I am. I only seemed to cause him pain, even when I tried to help him."

Naruto cast his blue gaze down to Itachi. "You killed his whole family, everyone that seemed to love him. How is that helping?"

Itachi frowns. "I killed them because they never truly loved him. I had become the prized Uchiha of the family, they needed no more and would accept no others. Mom was the only one to see Sasuke as her son and not some failure. I only took her life because she begged me to."

Naruto returns his gaze to the sky. "We both failed him Itachi-san. Nether one of us could give him what he truly wanted."

Itachi joins Naruto at looking at a strange very dark cloud. Naruto pulls out two cigarettes. "You want a last smoke Itachi-san."

Itachi looks to the cigarette. "Sure Naruto-kun."

Naruto joins Itachi in a farewell smoke. "Itachi-san. When Sasuke gets here will you tell him a message for me?"

Itachi nods. "Hai if he doesn't kill me first."

Naruto shakes his head. "He'll take his time to enjoy this moment."

Itachi smirks. "Maybe so."

Naruto stands to his feet. "Tell Sasuke he still has one goal left."

Itachi raises an eyebrow. "Oh."

Naruto nods his head. "Make Sakura-chan happy and revive the Uchiha clan."

Itachi looks to the tree line. "That's the other chakra source coming."

Naruto nods his head. "Hai."

Itachi frowns. "I thought you where the one in love with her, not Sasuke."

Naruto hangs his head low. "I still am. But she loves Sasuke not me. My only goal in life is to make her happy. Now I have brought everything full circle. Everyone shall have their dreams fulfilled."

Itachi lets out a sigh. "Everyone accept you Naruto-kun."

Naruto shrugs. "For every happiness, there is sorrow. I am just the other half of this coin."

Itachi shakes head. "That is true but unfair for you Naruto-kun."

Naruto flicks his burned out cigarette into the water. "Life is unfair Itachi-san. But it's what being a good brother and lover cost. Pain for their happiness."

Naruto turns to walk away leaving Itachi along. "Naruto-kun. I wish you really where part of our family. You would have made a wonderful brother."

Naruto shakes his head. "Thanks Itachi-san but I can never be a true brother...Sasuke broke that bond years ago even if I still hold the broken link he will never see me as a brother."

Naruto flickers away leaving Itachi alone to stare at the cigarette floating in the water the smell of smoke still lingering in the air. "You're truly an angel sent down from heaven. You bear the sorrows of others just to make them happy."

Itachi watches as Sakura seems to close in on the group her eyes seem to narrow with his.

Sakura begins to slow down as she feels the familiar chakra signature of Sasuke closing in. She shouts to Itachi. "Where is Naruto-kun?"

Itachi shrugs. "He left awhile ago. He wanted to be alone."

Suddenly a loud cry is heard breaking over the rain. "ITACHI!!!!"

Itachi looks at Sasuke charging. "I'm right here brother. No need to scream."

Sasuke glares as he flips threw his chidori signs. "I'm going to kill you for what you did to the clan."

Itachi drags on his cigarette. "That's why I'm here after all, but before you do I have a message from Onee-san Naruto-kun. He told me to tell you that you still have one goal in life left to complete."

Sasuke holds the chidori in his hand. "Fuck him and fuck you. I will kill you."

Itachi frowns. "He said you still need to revive your clan. Love her well brother for he gave up everything just to make you two happy."

Sasuke charges at Itachi, his arm raised ready to strike the final blow. "Fuck him. He was weak. He was nothing."

Itachi lets out a small sigh of regret. "I'm sorry Naruto, I'm sorry I made Sasuke-kun so ignorant. Least I will always consider you our brother-."

Itachi's words are cut off as Sasuke rams the chidori threw his heart leaving only the sound of the chirping chidori as it winds down into only the sound of rain hitting the landscape. Itachi's half finished cigarette laying in a pool of blood.

Sakura looks at Sasuke with her cold dull eyes. "You are the weak one Sasuke. Even Itachi could see how much Naruto-kun gave up just to make you happy but Naruto-kun was wrong. You will have to find another choice for a wife I have no interest in little snakes."

Sasuke glares at Sakura. "I am not weak, I am the Avenger I am a sannin I am power-"

Sakura turns her back to Sasuke heading in the direction Naruto took off in. "You are all alone in the world. You have caused more death than you avenged. You're not an avenger. You're just a power thirsty fool, a baka. You should be ashamed to even call yourself a sannin Sasuke. You have no understanding of what power is."

Sasuke charges at Sakura with his kunai drawn. "I'll show you what power is."

Sakura dodges Sasuke's attack using her flexible body to dodge, his other fist flying over her head as she bends around Sasuke's taijutsu and backflips away, flipping through seals. "I don't have time to deal with you. Naruto-kun's getting away."

Sasuke flicks his kunai. "Why are you chasing after that dobe? I'm right here, even he said you belong to me."

Sakura draws her own kunai blocking Sasuke's. "I don't belong to anyone but Naruto-kun, even if he thinks different."

Sasuke activates his sharingan as Sakura holds her sword and chakra scalpels. Their eyes narrow at one another. "What are you going to do now Sasuke? Are you going to try and kill me just for not loving you."

Sasuke shrugs. "I don't know what I'm going to do. I've avenged my family. Why are you going to fight me?"

Sakura glares. "Because you're leaving me no choice. It's not like you're going to let me run after Naruto-kun."

Sasuke shrugs. "He's a dobe, why do you chase after him?"

Sakura holds her sword waiting on Sasuke attack. "Because he knew how to make me smile and laugh when no one else could. Now its my turn to make him happy. Isn't that what being a friend is all about, or have you lost that concept too?"

Sasuke lowers his kunai letting out a sigh. "I'm not letting you go because I like the dobe. I'm letting him go because he brought me Itachi."

Sakura sheaths her sword. "Maybe we will see you in Konoha some time Sasuke."

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

Naruto looks up at the rainy clouds. "Let's go some place cold Kyuubi. I need to feel the cold air on my skin. Something to remind me of how I am supposed to be."

"There's always Yukigakure." (The village hidden in snow)

"Snow is so pure like the innocents of rain."

"I still say we should destroy Konoha."

"Over my dead body fox, so long as I breathe Konoha will live."

"Then die already and give me your body. You're tired of living aren't you?"

"Teh, I see you're giving me a reason to keep living aren't you."

"No, I'm just stating the truth. I'll take control of your body the moment you die."

"Thanks Kyuubi...Whatever"

Naruto breaks his conversation with Kyuubi as he walks towards the mountain slowly feeling as the rain seems to become colder and colder, eventually turning into snow as the night pushes on. Naruto lets out a small sigh of relief as he lets the cold snow melt into his body chilling his heart. He looks up at the beauty of the snow falling down on him. "Like pure snow chilling my mind I can chill my heart of her for once."

Naruto gives a small smile, as he moves through the snow something seems to blur past him. He tries to detect the signature but ends up dismissing it as just his heart playing a trick on him in the snow. "I must be getting tired, I could have sworn I felt Sakura's chakra." he lets out as he talks to himself.

Suddenly a voice responds. "What if you did Naruto-kun?"

Naruto looks around. "Huh Kyuubi are you playing a trick on me?" Naruto ask out loud as the numbing cold seems to keep his mind focused on the overwhelming cold.

Sakura moves out of the trees in front of him. "I'm no trick Naruto-kun."

Naruto stops in his tracks. "Why are you here Sakura? You're supposed to be with Sasuke in Konoha."

Sakura gives a small smile. "What happened to the -chan Naruto-kun."

Naruto holds his hand out watching the snowflakes gather. "-chan seems to make the pretty snowflakes melt Sakura. Did you know that no snow flake is identical? Just like people they have their own identities."

Sakura takes a few steps closer her breath fogging in the air. "You don't have to leave Naruto-kun."

Naruto shakes his head. "I must. Like the snow I am fated to melt away."

Sakura walks closer leaving only a few feet between them. "Why?"

Naruto shrugs. "Because I have no reason to remain."

Sakura walks up to Naruto her breath mixed with his nearly touching him as she whispers softly. "What if I gave you a reason?"

Naruto shuts his eyes. "Don't say it Sakura. Don't say it." Naruto whispers back as he walks away from her. "I don't want to here it."

Sakura turns around watching Naruto's back. "Why don't you want to hear what is true?"

Naruto continues walking. "Because this flame flickered out along time ago."

Sakura stares at Naruto's back, watching him walk away with her heart broken on the floor for the second time, tears begin rolling down her face. "Why am I always looking at your back? Whether you're fighting to protect me...Or leaving my broken heart on the ground. I always see your back not your eyes."

Naruto turns his eyes as his deep blue eyes reflect his pain and sadness. Sakura watches as they slowly begin growing red till the red seems to dominate the blue. "Because maybe it's painful to look you in the eyes and lie about my feelings. Maybe because every time I offered my heart you threw it on the ground and walked away just like I am doing now."

Sakura breaks her gaze at Naruto's eyes as she looks to his footprints. "So you're saying I've lost every chance to hold your heart. Even when I offer mine."

Naruto nods his head. "We are better off this way Sakura."

Sakura places her feet in Naruto's footprints. "Then I'll be walking the same path in the same prints as the man I love, even if it kills me."

Naruto continues walking. "Fine then die."

Sakura shrugs off Naruto's words as she follows his tracks, even as Naruto picks up to a full run she refuses to fall more than 20 feet behind him.

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

Naruto leaps to the trees. "Go home Sakura. Go home where you belong." Naruto calls out to her.

Sakura shakes her exhausted head. "No, I'm not letting you get away."

Naruto frowns. "Why? I told you I don't love you anymore."

Sakura shakes her head. "Because I still love you."

Naruto seems to cringe at her words as he turns back around. "Why aren't you with Sasuke?"

Sakura smiles. "Because Sasuke can't make me as happy as you can."

Naruto continues moving away. "Why do you keep smiling...? It's ugly."

Sakura picks up speed keeping up with Naruto. "Where are we going?"

Naruto lets out a sigh. "We are not going anywhere. Me and you are not together."

Sakura shakes her head. "Naruto-kun please."

Naruto stops in the snow turning to Sakura. "Leave Sakura. Just leave me alone that's what will make me happy."

Sakura shakes her head. "Why do you always run away from your happiness Naruto-kun?"

Naruto glares. "I will not be happy with you not so long as I'm second best."

Sakura glares back. "Who said you were second best?"

Naruto lowers his head. "I've always been second best Sakura."

Sakura leaps at Naruto using his depressed state to hug him. "You're not second best Naruto-kun."

Naruto shakes his head as he tries to brush off Sakura sending her falling to the ground. "You're exhausted, if you try to keep up then you're going to die Sakura."

Sakura shakes her head as the tears clean a wet path down her cheek. "I don't care. I'm not losing you again Naruto-kun."

Naruto stares down at Sakura. "Whatever, go ahead and die."

Naruto jumps into the trees leaving Sakura on the ground as she quickly pulls herself to her knees following Naruto threw the snow.

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

Sakura feels herself being to lose her footing in the slush of the snow. Her exhaustion mounting onto the second day. Finally her body fails her as she falls into the snow blacking out.

Naruto heaves a heavy sigh. "Damn she finally fell. She's stubborn, that's for sure."

Naruto summons up a kage bushin to carry her as close to Konoha as possible while he continues forward. "Would we really be happy together...? Could she truly be with me, even with Sasuke around... It would all be a lie wouldn't it fox?"

The mighty evil Kyuubi rolls his eyes as he swishes his tails around. "Leave me out of your weak emotions you puny mortals call love."

Naruto lets out a sigh. "Hn. I've brought Sasuke back I'm sure she'll get over me with him there."
