Hello people and thank you for all the people who have been through this whole story with me. Anyways this is the last chapter of the whole story and thank you people for reading this and putting up with all the late updates and the so on with so forth. Take care and here is the last chapter of SHAD!
"Naruto everything will be alright." Kyuubi answered and Naruto sobbed on the white sheets.
"No… Everything will not be alright." Naruto clutched harder. "He hates me now." He said and looked at Kyuubi. "I don't have much time for such things like this!" Naruto screamed and Kyuubi hugged Naruto.
"I know what you mean kit. I know how you feel." Kyuubi held Naruto tighter and looked at Itachi.
"Itachi may I speak to you for awhile." Naruto let's go and Itachi nodded leaving with Kyuubi.
Naruto stood up on his two feet and was helped by Sakura sitting in a wheelchair. Naruto looked at the bright sunset looking at Sakura bringing his hand to touch hers.
"Naruto…" Sakura held his hand and held in her sobs. "I-I'm so sorry for how I treated you before. I know that you can't live longer. But please forgive me. I wish that I have been a better person to care for you and never put you down." Naruto turned to face her.
"It's okay Sakura. I forgive you." He smiled and gently held her hand bringing it up to his lips. "I know that you didn't mean for me to become this. Thank you for being there even with all your insults." Sakura covered her mouth ready to scream from the sadness. "I love you Sakura." He told and Sakura fell to the floor in front of Naruto crying.
"You are such a kind person Naruto! How can you forgive me!? I was mean and selfish with you!" She cried when Naruto hugged her.
"You were the first true family I made." Tears fell down. "That is the reason why I forgive you." Sakura sobbed on his hospital shirt.
"Naruto!" The Rookie 9 looked at him with sadness and Hinata held a card.
"You guys what are you doi-"Kiba cuts her off.
"We heard Naruto. Rumors spread fast around here." Kiba pointed out to the village and grinned. "We made this letter to you so that whatever time you have maybe you can read it. It's better written or else maybe our talk might last for hours." Kiba told and looked at Naruto.
"You are such a dobe that it makes me cry." Kiba had water run down his face.
"Dog breath." Naruto said and Hinata looked at him. "Hinata-chan please doesn't cry." Naruto looked at everyone. "I'll be always be watching." Naruto looked at Akamaru petting his head.
"I guess I'll read it inside the hospital." He rubbed the bottom of his nose when he saw Lee holding up a cheery voice.
"Let the youth shine within us!" Lee said with tears falling down his face.
"Lee funny as ever." Naruto gave a hand shake. "Take care you guys." He said and Sakura pushed him back inside.
They entered the white room with white walls and ceilings seeing their two sensei's in the room with sadness all over their feature. Naruto waved to them saying that they should all be happy no matter what. Iruka gave a fatherly hug to Naruto crying out with Naruto hugging back. Kakashi no longer had the nerve to read his orange book and Jiriya no longer had the need to write or do anything perverted for that matter. Iruka asked for an off from the academy so that he can hang out with Naruto. Naruto smiled at them and told them that he was going to be fine while in reality he only had a few days left. Those hours came to pass and Sasuke sat on the Fourth's head looking over the village. The time of Naruto's and Kyuubi's end seemed to dim near. Sasuke sensed that his brother was behind him seeing that he had a sad face as well. Shifting to another position he saw his brother pat his back.
"Sasuke you need to be next to him." Itachi reminded and Sasuke snorted.
"I-I can't." Sasuke cried in his hands again. "I just ran out when the news was given. He could have ha-"Itachi grabbed his younger brother's shirt.
"He loves you dammit! He cried thinking you hate him! Don't just stand here and do nothing! He loved you for all he has! He doesn't have much time Sasuke!" Itachi yelled making Sasuke look at him in shock.
"I can't stand you being sad too!" He shouted and Sasuke looked at his brother waiting for why his emotions were in overload. "Kyuubi told me… He loves me! Naruto loves you too! Now get your ass up or I'll drag your damned ass over to the hospital!" He remembered the conversation he had with the red head.
-Flashback-
Kyuubi looked at Itachi making his lips turn to a frown and back to normal. His fists clenched and Itachi waited for what the conversation was to be about. Kyuubi looked up and was ready to cry.
"You know how I kissed you before." Itachi nodded. "I-I care about you Itachi." He looked up. "I know that its too late as it is. I just want you to know that I love you Itachi before my time is up." Kyuubi answered and returned back to the room closing the door.
Itachi stood there shocked seeing Naruto get wheeled back in by Sakura holding a card. Blue eyes showed a lot of sadness and made his heart ache. He didn't reply back to Kyuubi and left the hospital.
"I can't say it Kyuubi." He told himself gripping the dirt and grass underneath him. "I love you too." Tears fell to the floor in small droplets.
-End of Flashback-
Sasuke stood and looked at the village walking back to the forest with Itachi watching his back. He couldn't take losing another person but this time he couldn't protect him at all. It was as if fate was mocking him laughing and being amused for his new upcoming loses. The world seemed to have shattered and all his dreams along with his hopes have all but disappeared never for him to grasp the reality that might kill his heart. He knew that Naruto needed him more than ever but he couldn't stand at his own feet and face him. He couldn't say to him straight in the face that he loved him and care about him so much. This character was known to be a coward but he can't blame himself but only will blame himself if he never went to the hospital. Naruto looked at the ceiling as Kyuubi did the same. They held onto each other's hands grasping what they have had.
"Naruto you are always the son that I should have stayed with." Minato heard of the news and sobbed.
"I'm sorry for leaving you!" Kushina cried out holding onto her son's clothes.
Naruto had read everyone's letters and cried sadly.
Lee's- "May the youth bestow upon you! You were the best youthful friend that I have ever faced."
Ten-Ten's- "Good times and yet they were so little. Thank you for being a good friend."
Neji's- "Kami-sama must be smiling upon you saying that you're fate has ended in such a beautiful way. I will treasure you in my heart comrade."
Shikumaru's – "This is troublesome yet I will see you in heaven's gates later on. Maybe we can watch the clouds together. Thanks for being there."
Ino's – "This is getting harder to write but you were such a wonderful person to be with! I apologize for how I treated you before. I know that you will watch over us."
Chouji's- "Make sure to save some chips up in heaven! I'll meet you up there someday."
Kiba's- "You were such a good person to battle with. Take care and if someone ever talks ill of you I will beat them up!"
Hinata's- "Thank you for being a great hero to the village. I know that my crush was oblivious but I love you with all my heart for being such an encouragement."
Shino's- "This is my goodbye my friend. Thanks for being here."
"Naruto thank you forgiving me." Sakura kissed Naruto's forehead. "You were such a wonderful brother to have."
"You are the best student to have here. I am grateful to have known you." Iruka patted his head. "You were a great subordinate son that I could never replace."
"You have grown powerful without my watch. I am sorry for not being the best teacher." Naruto gave a nod. "You were a great teacher." He whispered weakly.
Itachi entered the room and looked at Kyuubi kissing him.
"I'm sorry to have noticed but I love you!" he kissed Kyuubi again. "I love you so much!" He cried.
"Gaki take care of yourself. I thank you for bringing me back here to Konoha." Tsunade told and Naruto smiled.
"Thanks Tsunade." Tsunade smiled and cried.
"Take care and watch over us." Jiriya said. "I might make a book about you. It will be in your honor." He told and Naruto smiled.
"Gaara says that you were such a great comrade." Temari answered coming out of nowhere. "Thanks for bringing our family together." Naruto nodded.
Time passed and everyone waited with Naruto closing his eyes and the machine was slowly beeping. Kyuubi's hair color seem to have changed and the eye color seemed to dim from red to green. Sasuke jumped from the tree tops and the buildings hoping to reach Naruto's room just in time. Naruto lets out his last breathe and Sasuke jumped to the window slowly opened it ready to jump in for it too be too late.
"Naruto!" He cried falling next to the bedside.
The heart monitor went flat and Kyuubi's body slumped to the floor in a thud. The body's original color came back to life. The brown hair was dirtied and disoriented and the green eyes seemed to have closed. Sasuke cried out loudly.
"No! Come back! I didn't say my goodbye! Come back!" Sasuke screamed holding onto Naruto's hand tightly.
People looked at them sadly holding in their sobs. Sasuke cried loudly with Itachi slowly crying slamming his hand on the wall. People looked on and said their prayers.
"I love you so much Naruto! I'm sorry that I wasn't here! I'm sorry to be selfish bastard! I fucking love you so much! Please come back and say that you forgive me! Come back!" He pounded the sheets and Itachi held him around his arms.
"I want him back." Sasuke yelled and Itachi held him closely.
"I do too." Itachi whispered looking at Kyuubi's limp body.
"Naruto!" Sasuke screamed.
-10 Year Later-
"Naruto... Ogenki desu ka?" A young man asked placing his hands over the grave stone gently.
The stone was covered in silver and a large bouquet was placed on the grave. A man merely around the age of 25 with raven hair. A cape surrounded his body and he looked at the grave sadly. He covered his mouth and held in his tears and sobs looking up at the sky. He remembered how he was too late to say good bye and many years have passed. Itachi had moved on to another country and he left Konoha for good. Sakura waited at the end of the site hoping that Sasuke will move on holding her son who had green eyes and red hair. The young child looked at his mother and back at his uncle with a sad look. Kakashi and Iruka enjoyed a cup of tea looking at the sky seeing the gray clouds.
"Naruto, it's been awhile since we have talked." That was true.
Sasuke had many duties and had barely enough time to walk back to the grave and pay his respects.
"Please that you will watch over me." His mouth ran dry and tears spilled.
"I love you Naruto." His body shook in the cold and he pulled his coat over his body.
"Sasuke-kun it's time to leave now." Sakura called out and her son jumped up.
"Hey little guy." Sasuke patted his head and looked at the grave.
"I guess it is time to get going." Sakura gave a nod and led Sasuke out.
"Am I going to meet daddy!" The young boy asked and suddenly a gust of wind picked up blowing off Sasuke's hat.
"What's that?" Sakura asked covering her son's face from the dust.
"Who knows but Naruto knows." Sasuke placed his hat on top of the stone.
"Bye Uncle Naruto!" The boy yelled.
"See you Naruto-kun." Sakura puts down another flower.
"Bye love." Sasuke imagined Naruto looking at him with a smile.
"I'll see you when your time is up Sasu."
Sasuke heard Naruto's voice and grinned looking away.
"Hope to see you soon then." Sasuke walked off with Sakura and her child.
"Gaara is out again isn't he?" Sakura chuckled.
"You have a lot of duties in your hands Hokage-sama." Sakura was then chased by Sasuke.
"Mommy!" The boy tripped and in came a red head.
"Daddy!" Sakura turned and smiled.
"Time to pay my respects." Gaara told and Sakura looked back.
"Bye." Gaara whispered.
On the stone it read:
Naruto Uzumaki
XXXX to XXXX
A loving brother.
A caring lover.
A hopeful friend.
May your dreams and hopes will never be shattered again.
