Chapter 29: The worst is in front of me... I do not own any of the songs that are played in this chapter!! Nor Naruto... But I think I own his daughter... hm.. I'll check it out..
But beside that, Deaths in this chapter...
During the night Hinata was finding a way to stop Naruto. She thought about tieing him up but that would cause ropes marks and hurt him. Anyway Tsuande would come and find him tied up. She thought about transforming into him and telling Tsuande 'I would not like to go on the mission. I changed my mind.' but she knew Tsuande would know it was her because he would never give up like that. (Note: I am sure you guys were wondering what happened with the fox. Flashbacks in this chapter to the end of the fight and other things...) She thought she could stop him but even at her best attempts that night, did not stop him. She thought about locking the door and puttin chackra seals on the windows, but Tsuande would feel the intense chakra it would take to create the seals. She thought that maybe she could hold him but somewere deep she knew he could throw her off. Then she got an idea. It was perfect. She thought he would never go if she did this.. She picked up the phone.
))))))Next morning: 8:30 1 hour 45 minutes before rally point meeting.
Woke up with yawn this dawning I'm still alive.
Naruto Yawned as he moved around in the bed. He noticed how tired her eyes looked.
Turned on my radio to start up new day.
"NARUTO! I told you I won't let you go. Please don't hate me but, I volentired to go on the mission with you.
"YOU WHAT!"
as godamn dj chattered how to survive, amazing new got over on the air waves.
"WHY DID YOU DO THAT HINATA!"
"I couldn't let you go. If you go I will go. I won't let you die Naruto. I will most likly die there so...
Tonight loved is rationed, tonight across the nation. tonight love infects world wide. She's a shooting star good night, good night.
"WHY HINATA! DAMN IT HINATA!"
"Please Naruto.. stay here. If they find her they will bring her to us. PLEASE NARUTO! I swear! if you go I will too." Naruto looked at her. He scowled. She felt guilty but she thought she had to do it to save his life.
"I'm sorry but I have to do it. I WON'T let you go though. Please stay here Hinata. I have to do this.
I can't stop loving you. I made up my mind. To live in memory. All the lonesome time.
"NO! I won't let you go! I can't stand it if you died!"
"I won't die!"
How deep is your love for me? Tell me what it is going to be. Do you see yourself with a man like me?
"I checked when I called, there was a 90 chance you'll die!"
"I don't care. I WON'T let that damn fox kill our daughter! I don't even want her near him. I won't stand by and hope! I am going to try to get her back! Please don't come with me." He looked at her and with a sigh.."I need to take a shower and get dressed." He left and sheaded his cloths so he walked in front of her naked. She just stared at him and cried. As he walked into the bathroom she jumped on his shoulders.
How deep is your love for me? Tell me what it is going to be. Do you see yourself with a nigga like me? I got to know
Tell me how deep
Tell me how deep
Before you tell me
Another chico
Tell me how deep
Tell me how deep
There will never be
Another senorita see
And all I ask is that you keep on lovin me
"PLEASE stay with me. I don't want you to die. I NEED you. I don't think I could live without you."
But she covered her mouth and her face got red and she just looked so darn cute. That I couldn't even act like I was mad-Yeah I live for little moments like that
"Please Hinata..."
When she's laying on my shoulder, on the sofa, in the dark
And about the time she falls asleep, so does my right arm
And I want so bad to move it, cause its tingling and its numb
But she looks so much like an angel,
That I don't wanna wake her up-
Yeah I live for little moments-
When she steals my heart again and doesn't even know it-
Yeah I live for little moments like that
He just stares at her. Tears are falling from her face. She squeases him as hard as she could.
Yeah when I get where I'm going,
there'll be only happy tears.
I will shed the sins and struggles,
I have carried all these years.
And I'll leave my heart wide open,
I will love and have no fear.
He smiled and put his hand on her head. He stroked her hair.
If you get there before I do
Don't give up on me
I don't know how long I'll be
But I'm not gonna let you down
"I'll stay here with since apparently I can't win against you." He smiled and saw himself in her eyes. 'Her buetiful eyes. Her perfect buetiful eyes. Sigh. I can't resist her. Not like she is. DAMN IT! Why does she have to look so damn cute!"
I know I'd never seen him cry in all my 15 years
But as he said these words to her
His eyes filled up with tears
"You know I love you Hinata and I would never want to hurt you. Plus I couldn't say no to those eyes of yours." He smiles.
Yea there ain't nothing not affected
When two hearts get connected
All that is will be or ever was
Every single choice we make
Every breath we get to take
Is all because two people fell in love
"Thank you Naruto." She hugs him.
"Can I at least take a shower..." He says as she remembers he is naked. Until now she didn't notice the hard on on her leg. She blushes and smiles.
"Yeh.." She lets go and walks over to the bed as he goes in the bathroom
I never meant to hurt you, I never meant to make you cry
Naruto sighs. "I'm sorry Hinata." He made clones. He rushed out of the bathroom and pinned down Hinata. THey tied her up.
"Naruto why are you..."
"I'm sorry Hinata. I have to go... Please don't hate me. I have to meet me there in 20 minutes."
"PLEASE NARUTO! LET ME GO AND DON'T GO!" SHe starts crying again. He doesn't look at her because it is already hard enough to hear her while he is dieing inside. Tears he struggles to keep in, are let out. He then opens the door and then walks over to her and kisses her before leaving, leaving her crying.
Crying over you
then you said so long
left me standing all alone
alone and crying
crying, crying, crying
its hard to understand
that the touch of your hand
can start me crying
Hinata stuggles to break free, her tears flung all over the sheets. She finally stops after her wrists hurt and sits there crying.
Crying over you
yes, now youre gone
and from this moment on
Ill be crying, crying
crying, crying
Im crying, crying
over you
Naruto meets up with Tsunade. "Finally your here. We've been waiting." He looked at everyone there. Sakura, Sasuke, Ino, Shikamaru, Kakashi, Tsunade and... GARRA?
"HEY WHAT'S HE DOING HERE!"
"You need my help that's why." Garra said with his eyes closed.
"WE don't need anything from you!" Naruto said growling.
"THAT'S ENOUGH! He right though Naruto, we need his help. If anything, the demon inside of him might be able to help stop him." Naruto just growled. Tsunade just scowled at Naruto.
"By the way Naruto, were is Hinata? She said that she would like to join us as a scout with her byakugan." His guilt brhind a smile.
"She is at home, she wanted to be alone with her thoughts."
"Well we have no time to waste. We need to get going." They all nodded and headed into the forest.
))))))15 minutes later.
They arrive at a tower that Naruto knew all too well. It was the tower that was the destination for the second part of the exam. It was in shambles. The place looked like it was going to collapse. Holes in every crevace of the building. He noticed something on the top of the tower. He saw a small figure standing on the top of the tower. Closer examination of this confermed what they came for. There was the nine tail fox, who was just standing there. Blue chakra sourrounded him as he saw an infant wrapped in a white milk sheet clenched in the fox's jaws. The infant was sleeping.
"Calm down Naruto. Rushing him will not do anything." Naruto didn't care he took off at the fox who jumped down on the other side.
"NARUTO!" Sakura yelled but was too late as Naruto was already halfway there. Suddenly they were sourrounded by high level ninja. Tsunade knew the fox planned all this. She knew that the fox had used the infant to lower Naruto to his death and pick the off one by one. Yet, she was caught and no way to use jutsu without the enemy seeing it. 'He's as good as dead. Sorry Hinata, we tried to stop him. Damn it NAruto who do you think is going to have to break the news to Hinata...'
"Sakura, make sure Naruto's body at least gets back to Hinata in one piece. Ok?" Sakura looked shocked at what she heard from Tsunade.
"What do you mean. Aren't we going to help him?"
"I wish we could but, they ran off and on top of that... Naruto is fighting the fox alone. His own anger will be the downfall of him." Sakura knew it to be true but, she wouldn't accept it.
"What are you talking about, Naruto is a great fighter and he will.."
"Fail. He is no match for the nine tail fox! Damn... we will have to build a statue for him. He influenced too many people's lives. It would be a tradegy to not. Sakura, with you as my witness, if Naruto lives, and I die, he becomes Hokage. Got it?"
"BUT HE'S..."
"I know. But I have a feeling that even if he survives, then he won't live that long. But at least on his tomb stone, he was hokage. I know it was what he always wanted."
)))Naruto and the fox encounter...
The fox lands near a big tree and sets the infant down. he waits until Naruto lands before turning around. Naruto has a very pissed off face that twitches every 3 or 4 seconds.
"So you followed me. Good. Now I can kill you."
"WRONG! I an going to kill you AND TAKE MY DAUGHTER BACK!" He places his hand out and makes and ball of chakra which then he forms into his attack. "NOW DIE!" He charges at him and blows a hole through 2 or 3 tree trunks. ;WHAT THE HELL! He doesn't have that much chakra. Oh well. If he hit me I might have serverly hurt.' "UP HERE SHIT FACE!" He looks up and there is Naruto who has another ball of chakra in his hands and direct hit! The fox crashes to the floor. Naruto lands and sees the fox stand up. He is pissed now. Chakra swirling around him in a whipping motion.
"You... YOu BASTERD! Look at what you've done! You hurt me. I was going to torture you but.. you seem willing to die so much! I think I will end your life!" The fox charges at NAruto who doges it and slices the fox across the the face. "Your going to regret you did THAT!" Again he charged high speed at NAruto who gets hit in the face with his claw. Blood dripps down his face and soon stains the soil with a small pool of blood. Naruto stabs his kunai in the fox's chest and the fox retreats back. "How the hell are you hitting me! This shouldn't be happening! WHY AREN'T YOU DIEING!"
"Because I promised Hinata I wouldn't!"
"You mean that bitch? Well.. in that case i'll have to BREAK IT!" Again he charges but this time slashing his shirt and openening a huge wound on his chest.
))))) 2 hours later... (Note: I ran out of ideas for this... all but how with this chapter ends...)
Both the fox and Naruto are panting heavily. The fox's wounds are great but NAruto's are greater. Naruto has lost alot of blood and can barly stand. 'I;m sorry Hinata... I have to do this. I have to do this for me, our daughter, the village, and you. Please forgive me but.. I will not be able to return home after this. Please don't hate me.' He smiles and stares at the fox.
"You know.. that your going to die here right?"
"Is that so... Then show me... why I am going to die by the hands of a little BRAT!..." Naruto Closed his eyes and started screaming. Tsunade heard it and them and the others headed over to were the screaming is accouring.. By the time they got there. Naruto was engulfed in his viens and chakra. ' Did he do what I think he did? No he couldn't have learned that... No.. He..did... Naruto, you are going to die today, but at least you'll take the fox with you. For that, I am going to give you a hero's title. It is the least I could do for this... your death.' Naruto, still screaming, dissapears and appears behind the fox and kicks him. He gathers up a whole hand full of chakra and hit the fox with it. The fox goes through 12 tree stumps before hitting a tree and trees fall to the floor. Naruto once again dissapears and kicks the fox while he is down. He picks up the fox who is using all of his chakra to heal himself.
"Now die!" He once again creates a ball of chakra and it blows through the fox's fur, causing entrails to fly all over the trees and blood to drench the forest floor. "That was for Hinata and my daughter."
"He.he.he... kid... your going to die with me today. And when you do, you failed Hinata. So In fact, I won four times. More then you know kid..." He coughed up black powder all over his face. Naruto punches him one more time before the fox crashes in a tree and dies. By now, Sakura is running over the Naruto to treat his wounds. He dissapears and reapears before Sakura has a chance to even stop. He is holding a white clothed infant and is staring at her. She is crying but but loud, more like tearing because she seems to know that he is dieing.
"Naruto." Says Tsunade. "You now, we could have killed him since he was weak from fighting you." He is starting to pant.
"I know. But this was a grudge match. I needed revenge for what he did to Hinata, and my baby." He looks at Tsunade before looking at Sakura. "Take my body and hers to Hinata won't you?"
"But it looks like your.." Before she could continue, his viens dissapeared, and chakra stopped swarming from him. He gave her a dieing smile before falling over. Sakura ran over to him to confirm their worst fear, he was dead. Sakura tried everything she knew to revive him.
"He is not coming back, and even if you revive him he will die again from his wounds and pain. This way is painless." She picked up Naruto and looked at his face which had a smile. 'He at least died knowing the fox went down with him. He's watching over Hinata now.' "Come on Sakura. Mission complete. Hinata will get the mission money and both bodies."
"Right." She said choaking on her own voice. She tried to not show she was crying, crying for Naruto. She picked up the infant which didn't have a scratch on her. She cried loudly. 'She's crying for Naruto I bet.' Sakura thought as they approched the village. Hinata was standing in the entrance on her knee's praying. 'I feel bad for her. She's going to be heart broken. I hate this part of my job.' They approched and caught Hinata's attention. She waved at them thinking Naruto was behind them. She noticed Naruto in Tsunade's hands and fell to her knees. 'I guess she figured it out.' She once again began to pray. Tears rolled down her face. They stopped in front of her and looked at the seemingly unharmed Naruto.
"Is he.. alive." Tring to hold back her tears.
"No." Tsunade said as Hinata broke down in tears. 'After all we've been through he dies... that jerk.' They heard crying coming around the post. Ino was brawling while Shikamaru was morning. He looked at the smile across his face. He tried to be happy for him.
"At least he went happy."He said to Hinata who was punching the ground and clenching the ground thirst.
"That's true Hinata. He gave his life to the fox. He gave everything he had and managed to kill him by himself. I am going to have a monument for his corpse as well as a statue in the middle of town to honor his memory." She chuckles. "I know it won't help Hinata, but he told me something before he died. He told me to tell you he's sorry and that he had to." Uptil now, the infant was quiet but then she cried causing everyone to look at her. Then everyone noticed Kakashi, who had just got there.
"Sorry I'm late I ran into..." He noticed Naruto's corpse and bit his lower lip before speaking. "Is he..."
"Yeh. I'm sorry Kakashi. He is dead." Kakashi punched the wall which crumbled under the stress of Kakashi's fist. Kakashi tried to hold back tears but even Naruto's death, even more then the hokage's, he was sad. He couldn't help but let a few tears roll down his face and absorbed into his mask.
"I promised him I wouldn't let him die, did you know that."
"You promised us all." Sakura said tring to confurt Kakashi who had never cried around them. Just then the skied turned black and two men walked through the gate and passed by them. Both stranger's eyes caught the sight.
"Yeh.. I did."
"It wasn't your fault. It was his decision. He didn't want us to interfear. He became a true hokage and ninja today. He showed courage in the face of evil, he made a tactical plan." Garra who just returned with blood all over his body. Turned to Naruto and even Garra bit his lip hard enough that blood dripped from his lip to the ground.
"What happened!" He demanded.
"He gave his life to protect the village. He will be remembered as a Hokage. Even though he never was one, at least we can make him that." Hinata remembered the words he said before. She threw up and the heavens themselves opened up with heavenly tears. There they stood for 30 mintues or so before they all cried all they could before taking his body to the funeral home.
I've been thinking
How good it was
When you were here
But early this morning
When I opened up my eyes
That old lonesome feeling
Took me by surprise
I guess you ment more to me
Than I realized
The love we had stays on my mind
(Stays on mind)
The love we had stays on my mind
I've been remembering
The good times
That we used to share
My thoughts of you
Don't have an ending
And memories of you are
Everywhere
If you had a mirror
Maybe you could count my tears
And if you were nearer
It would all be clearer
(I want you right here, I want you right here next to me)
How I wish that you were hear
(Oh baby)
How I wish, oh I wish
How I wish that you were here
I was tired
So I laid down
To dream for a little while
But lately I've been so
So uninspired
Without the comfort
Of your smile
Cause that's how it goes
Theres always some heartache
In this world I suppose
Huh, listen to me
But you can't imagine
But nobody knows
Nobody know's baby
The love we had stays on my mind...
I finished this chapter crying but this is how i knew it was going to end. Oh well.. at least I gave it a good run. The next chapter is the last chapter. Naruto's funeral. sob
