NARUTO IS OWNED BY MASASHI KISHIMOTO, NOT I.
As Naruto walked out of his building he could see the skies getting brighter, he was finding it hard to walk each and every day. Age was catching up to him despite the fact that he had the power of Kurama inside of him. He walked down the road and was nearing the graveyard when he saw a familiar silver haired man alone with a blank expression on his face coming out of the cemetery, only to stir with excitement as the old Hokage neared.
"NARUTO SENSEI!" yelled the silver haired man.
"Sakumo Hatake, it has been a long time, and what did I tell you about calling me sensei? Not that I don't mind but I stopped being your teacher the day you stopped being my genin." Naruto chuckled as he hugged his former pupil.
"I'm sorry Lord Hokage, old habbits die hard I guess, but yeah it has been a long time. What brings you here today?"
"I'm here to visit someone I miss dearly, someone I wish was here with me today… are you here visiting your father?"
Sakumo was surprised to have been discovered. "Yes, I was, today is his birthday and I decided to bring him some fresh flowers, mom's idea, she would have been here but she hardly leaves her home anymore, she can barely walk anymore. I'm afraid she doesn't have much time left and will one day join father in the next world" said Sakumo somberly.
"Today is Kakashi sensei's birthday!? I miss him, you look exactly like him, except for the eyes of course, those are definitely Anko's crazy eyes, that…and you don't hide your face behind a mask that makes people wonder what's really behind it." Said Naruto with a booming laugh.
"Lord Hokage it still surprises me that you still call my father sensei even after all these years and you becoming Hokage, and then shooting me down when I call you sensei!" barked Sakumo with a hmph.
"I guess old habits do die hard" mocked Naruto as he placed his hand on Sakumo's shoulder. "Your father was a great man Sakumo, never forget that, and don't worry, Anko is a tough old woman, and I wouldn't be surprised if she lived to be over 100. Tell her I said hello next time you see her, now if you will excuse me I have to meet a very special lady, can't keep her waiting you know? But listen it was nice seeing you again, I'll treat you to some Ichiraku's someday just like old times to catch up in more detail. What do you say?"
"I accept your invitation Lord Hokage, and thank you, I'll let you go then so you won't be late for your date with your special lady" said Sakumo as he winked at his old teacher and started to walk away from him
Naruto started to walk the other way when something struck his mind. "Oh one more thing before I forget, come down by my office today around midday, there is something I want you to see, and I think you will enjoy it." With that being said Naruto walked through the cemetery gate.
The cemetery was almost deserted, a couple of villagers could be seen in front of tombstones mourning their loved ones. A lot of Naruto's friends and comrades were buried in this place, he missed them all. But he kept walking heading towards the back of the cemetery where the heroes of the village were buried like Kakashi, Pervy Sage Jiraiya, Naruto's ma and pa, and most importantly one special lady that kept running through the old Hokage's mind day in and day out for the past six decades. He kept walking for a few more minutes until he reached the grove of the Hokages, where all the Fire Shadows were buried along with their spouse.
Naruto stopped at each Hokage's grave to show his respect, he stopped at the First Hokage's grave "Lord Hashirama Senju, and Lady Mito Uzumaki." He walked a little further to the Second Hokage's grave, "Lord Tobirama Senju." he kept walking further to the Third Hokage's grave, "Lord Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Lady Biwako Sarutobi." He kept walking to the Fourth Hokage's grave, but this grave always made him well up with tears, "ma…pa…I love you both, I wish I could see you guys again." He turned and walked away towards the Fifth Hokage's grave, "Granny Tsunade, I miss you, you crazy old woman." And as he turned around for the last grave Naruto began to feel a lump on his throat as he reached the grave destined to be his eternal resting place, he had arrived at his destination, he knelt down in front of the half-filled headstone and wiped the dirt that covered it with his hand, "that's better" he thought now the name could be visible. "Sorry I'm late Hinata, I ran into an old student of mine, and you know my body isn't as fast as it used to be. I'm sorry for being too late to save you. I'm sorry I never noticed how you felt about me because I was so blind chasing after Sakura, and most importantly I'm sorry for never being able to give you a chance and be with you so that we could have been together and get married have a family, and grow old together, and spend every day with you for the rest of my life, seeing you every night before I fall asleep and seeing you every morning as a wake up…" Naruto choked back a tear and sighed. "I hope that when I leave this world I can find my way to you wherever you are and hold you in my arms and tell you three special words that I have been dying to tell you for the past sixty years…I LOVE YOU."
