Chapter 4. Farewell
Naruto settled his gaze on Sasuke. "Sasuke… do your mission! Kill the threat!" he shouted hoarsely. The warm blood, dried and cracking with every movement, his blue eyes seeking help. "Sasuke…"
Sasuke dived off the tree, landing beside Zabimaru. Clenching his fist, he started his speech. "Naruto…Uzumaki Naruto. Formerly my best friend," he said enhancing the word Formerly. "The day you brought me back to Konoha, the people looked at me with disgust. Did you know how that felt like? Did you know how much rage I have inside of me? Words can never describe my hatred for you. Only this can truly fulfil my dream - the haunting dream of me killing you." concluding his speech. "Do not fear, my new friend… in Konoha you will be welcomed as a hero, a hero for killing the traitor and the threat of Konoha." his sadness transformed into happiness, flashing a smile for Zabimaru.
Zabimaru returned the smile, with a grin of his own. "A hero? I have never been a hero… yes, I would like that. Zabimaru the Saver of Konoha" he paused. "Kill him, he dies and I become whole either way." He commanded, totally different from the previous him.
"My good friend," he replied, retaining his smile "It will be my pleasure." A blue aura surrounded him. "Naruto my dream will become reality today." Lightning zapped around the sky, lighting the abyss of darkness for a split second. The sounds of bird chipping echoed through the forest. A blue ball exploded into Sasuke's open palm. "Chidori (Lightning Edge)"
"Naruto… my nightmare finally ends today." He charged forwards, the Chidori scorched the ground. "Uzumaki Naruto."
The blonde hair ninja stared into Sasuke's dark eyes. "Uchiha Sasuke"
"Good Bye my old friend." They said in unison
Naruto extended his right palm out.
"CHIDORI!"
"KYUUBI RASENGAN!"
The lightning ball slammed into Kyuubi Rasengan. "I'm sorry, old friend.But this is the end!" focusing his remaining Chakra, the ANBU leader slammed the Chidori once more on to the Kyuubi Rasengan. Lightning raced across the night sky, lighting the vinicity for a splitting moment. "Sasuke, if this is truly how you feel. Then feel the wrath of my Kyuubi Rasengan" The Kyuubi Rasengan opened it's jaws. "I won't kill you Sasuke… this is just fare well." He gently rested the Kyuubi Rasengan onto the ground. The soil swirled around the Kyuubi Rasengan, gaining in speed and ferocity, tearing trees and plants from the vicinity into the mouth of the Kyuubi Rasengan. "Farewell, Sasuke." He ended the conversation. The soil beneath them finally detonated, sending rocks tumbling into a large crater. Sasuke flash jumped (Shunpo) away just as Naruto fully unleashed the Kyuubi's power.
The world had at long last released Naruto from its grasps. He felt weightless-ness as he fell into the crater later known to be the Lake of Dreams. Water surging out from the underwater cavern and into the lake, the burden of the world seemed lessen as the wind blew through his body. "So this is how… I die…" wondered Naruto, he embraced death. "Killed by my own friend"
