Chapter two:
Sasuke was captured soon after they found him, weeping openly over Naruto's body. Lady Tsunade herself looked at Naruto's corpse. He was killed instantly, in that last recoil, his head hit the ground so hard it shattered his skull and neck, piercing his brain with hundreds of shards of bone.
Sasuke could not be consoled. He sat in his cell weeping for days on end. He didn't eat or sleep or allow his wounds to be tended. He wasted away and within two weeks he too was dead. Naruto the hero, and the Last Uchiha were laid in the ground exactly two weeks apart.
The battle was decided and all of the Gokage attended the funeral. Gaara cried once again. The boy who saved his life twice and the boy he tried to save were both dead now. No one saw them, but Gaara's tears did fall, and that is a big deal.
Gaara looked to his right, beside the gravestones, were the two dead ones. Naruto sat, leaned against his stone, Sasuke stood, chewing a toothpick. They smiled and waved at Gaara. He smiled too.
Goodbye, friends.
