Chapter 31 End of a Friend, Begining of a dream come true
Naruto felt sadness tear at his heart as his jutsu connected into Kibas chest. Former friend screamed in pain and agony as the chakra blades from the attack began to shred through his armor and began to puch through his chest. Naruto didn't want to continue, but knew if he did, more innocents would be harmed or killed. He knew that when he bacame Hokage, such things sometimes happened. So he pushed his fist forward. Kiba gave a great cry of pain as blood and bits of bone exploded outward from his chest as the powerful technique punched through his chest. Naruto felt tears run down his face as his friend glared at him, blod trickling down his chin.
"You...can't...defeat...me." Kiba gasped as the Rasen Shiriken continued to tear through his chest cavity.
"I have to. I am sorry. I hope you find peace in the next life. Goodbye, friend."
With that, Naruto let out a roar and shoved his had farther forward, causing kiba to scream before his upper torso exploded in a cloud of blood, flesh and bone. Naruto dropped to the ground, his right hand numb and covered in his friends blood. He began to cry when a hand landed on his shoulder. Looking up, he saw Jiriya looking at him with sadness on his face. Behind him stood his friends, children and former teachers. All of them wanted him to know that he had done all he could. But nobody could comfort him. After what felt like hours, a lavendar scented being wrapped their arms around him. He could fell their tears land on his shoulder. Wipping them away, he looked over at Hinata. She was smiling at him, but pain was stioll on her face.
"It's alright, Naruto-kun. You did what you could to bring him back. You did what you could and defended the village. No one here thinks less of you." She said softly.
Naruto nodded and stood up, allowing himself to be led to the hospital. He felt such pain and shame that he had failed to bring Kiba back and had killed him.
It was a week after Kiba's death. The village had been assembled infront of the hokage's tower and waited. Today, a new Hokage would be brought before them. An dthey didn't have any idea who it would be. Their were three sanin in the village now, plus the two stil alive. They wondered who it would be. They stopped talking as the Fifth Hokage stepped forward.
"Sometime ago, I chose my successor. This shinobi has climbed through the ranks and has proven himself to be the most powerful nin in the village. He has suffered and over came it. He has saved this village countless times, always placing himself in danger to defend those precious to him. Today, I proudly pass the title Hokage to Naruto Uzumaki." She stepped back and a blonde ninja wearing the hokages hat stepped forward as the villagers cheered and applauded. They knew that they were safe with him. They could trust him. And they didn't even care that he contained the Nine Tails.
"It's just like you wanted." Hinata said, smiling at him.
"Yeah. I have the village's respect and trust. I just hope I don't fail." He said as she wrapped her arms around his waist, resting her chin on his shoulder.
"Now since is when my husband afraid of failing? Shouldn't you be looking for the of best possibilities?" She smiled.
He turned around and returned her smile with his own, hands on her waist.
"Your right." He said, kissing her softly.
"Now there's the man I fell iin love with all those years ago."
"And he's not going anywhere." He smiled and kissed her again as the sun set turning the sky gold, rd pink, and a ton of different colors. The Village Hidden in the Leaves has found the peace and harmony it had not seen in years. And a certian blonde Hokage would make sure it stayed that way.
