Disclamer: I don't own Naruto or this song.

Rio: I've had a couple requests for a new chapter, so, here it is!!


Hello by Evanescence

It was the morning. School was just starting and there were rain clouds moving across the sky. It looked as if a storm was coming.

Playground schoolbell rings, again
Rainclouds come to play, again

Two people made their way to the run-down apartment of Naruto Uzumaki.

Knock-knock

No one answered. They knocked again, but still no one answered the door.

"Dobe. Open up," Sasuke said, "If you don't I'll kick the door down."

He waited a few moments before glancing at his companion, Sakura, and kicking the door down. It buckled under the force and flew off its hinges, landing with a loud thump on the floor.

Sasuke then wrapped an arm around Sakura's waist and proceeded to walk into the small apartment. They looked around, softly calling Naruto's name until they walked into the bedroom. They weren't ready for what they saw next.

Naruto Uzumaki lay there, still as death, on the bed. Sheets were tangled around him, a pillow over his face.

Sakura stumbled forward, toward him and tried finding a pulse. When she found none, she gasped and fell onto the floor, sobbing. She quickly emptied the contents of her stomach and tried to stand up. Sasuke wrapped his arms around her and pulled her out of the apartment.

Has no one told you she's not breathing?
Hello, I'm your mind, giving you someone to talk to...Hello...
If I smile and don't believe

News of Naruto Uzumaki's death spread like wild fire around the village. Some people rejoiced, others cried themselves to sleep that night.

Soon I know I'll wake from this dream
Don't try to fix me
I'm not broken

A funeral was held for him several days after he was discovered. Not many came, not that many cared. It lasted about three hours, people coming and going as they pleased. The only ones that stayed through the whole funeral were Gai's team, Kurenai's team, Asuma's team, Kakashi's team (including Yamato and Sai), Tsunade, Shizune, and Jaraiya. The only ones who cared.

Hello, I'm the lie living for you so you can hide...
Don't cry...
Suddenly I know I'm not sleeping
Hello, I'm still here, all that's left
Of yesterday...

And that's how Naruto Uzumaki left this world. His memory still remains, he'll always be remembered.


Rio: I hope you've enjoyed it! Sorry its short. I tried. Anyway, this is it for the story. Review, please!
