User blog:DarkStar Knight/Naruto - The End? (FanFiction)


 * Author’s Note – THIS IS A FAN FICTION! It is a work of fiction that I came up with independently, and not to be misconstrued as events of the original Naruto Manga, or Naruto Shippuden TV series. I have not looked at the other Fan Fictions on this wikia, and as such the content of my Fan Fiction may be similar to (or perhaps, though highly unlikely, duplicate) someone else’s work. If this happens, I assure you its unintentional and a coincidence. I’m writing this prediction because of a dream I had about Naruto a month ago, I think it makes for a fitting ending to the series. At this point in time (9/20/11), I have watched up to episode 228 of Shippuden, and read only to around Chapter 500 of the Manga. As such, any discrepancies with the Manga (however far it is now) you can attribute to that. However, I believe I have come up with a strong possible ending …whether or not this is what the creators of Naruto have in mind, I don't know. So, if you are worried about any potential spoilers, now is the time to leave this page. You can always come back later, and read this after the series is finished, to see if my prediction came true. Well, here it goes; hope you enjoy it!

Introduction
There they stood, face to face for the first time since their encounter at the bridge in the Land of Iron; Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha. Both had become stronger, and both were determined to see their goals met. Naruto’s goal: save Sasuke from the darkness of his hatred, even if it took both of their lives. Sasuke’s goal: kill Naruto, then destroy the Leaf Village…thus, as he believed, avenging the Uchiha Clan. Sasuke smirked evilly and said, “So, Naruto…do you still want to die with me?” Naruto answered, “I will save you, Sasuke…even if I …if we must die together.” Sasuke chuckled and said, “You’re a strange little man, aren’t you? You would really throw away your dream of becoming the Hokage…and die for me? Oh, well; it’s not like that dream will ever come true, anyways. After all…how can you be Hokage…if there is no Konoha?” Naruto raised his voice and said, “I will NOT allow you to destroy Konoha! I will die with you, if that’s what takes. But…I am hoping for an alternative.” Sasuke’s expression became serious, and he said, “Alternative? There is none, you idealistic child! Thee only way you will EVER stop me is by killing me. But you can’t kill me…not even with that Sage Mode of yours I’ve heard so much about. I have Itachi’s eyes now; my Mangekyo Sharingan has been perfected! You will lay down and die at my feet, and when the Kyūbi claws its way out from your broken body, I will use Mangekyo Sharingan to control it. The Kyūbi will finish the job it started 17 years ago; it will destroy Konoha for me, and kill everyone in it. All, that is…except for the Elders…and Sakura.” Naruto’s eyes widened, and Sasuke’s evil grin returned as he continued, “I will kill the Elders with my own hands, since they were involved in the Uchiha massacre…and Sakura will watch in horror as I eviscerate them.” Sasuke’s expression became more wicked, and as Naruto gaped Sasuke asked, “Then do you know what I will do, Naruto? Well, do you? As she weeps over the death of everyone in her beloved village…I will…have my way with her.” As soon as Sasuke said that, Naruto’s horror became black rage; he felt as though his heart had been ripped out, and replaced with darkness deeper than the infinite black of space. Sasuke’s teeth showed as he continued to grin madly and say, “Then, when I’m finished…I’ll slit her throat! Well, Naruto…what do you think of that?!” Naruto, in spite of all his training to control the Nine-Tails, almost lost it then and there. It took ALL of his will power to keep himself from going Sage Mode + Mini-Kyūbi and throwing the most powerful Rasen-Shuriken he could possibly make at Sasuke! Still, he maintained control, and after a moment of waiting Sasuke’s eyebrows lifted, and he said, “What’s this? Well, I must say…I’m impressed, Naruto! I thought for sure that would send you into a rage!” Naruto clenched his fists angrily and said as he glared at Sasuke, “Oh, I feel rage now… more than I’ve felt in a long time! But I’m not a kid anymore; I won’t be manipulated by taunts. Still...you’re a real jerk for saying you’d do a thing like that!” Sasuke said, “I will do that…unless, by some miracle, you can actually manage to kill me.” Naruto looked at Sasuke’s eyes for a long moment, then said, “I understand now…deep down, there must be the smallest speck of good left in you, and it’s fighting for all it’s worth to keep from being consumed by darkness.” Sasuke laughed and asked, “What are you talking about? The “smallest speck of good”, you say? What use could I possibly have for something so weak and pathetic?! I will crush that speck out of existence, and become the Supreme Lord of Darkness!!! I WILL RULE OVER A WORLD FOREVER CLOAKED IN THE SHADOW OF MY INFINITE WRATH!!!!” Naruto said, “No…I don’t believe you. You say you’ll do that, but you would’ve by now if that’s truly what you wanted. Am I wrong, Sasuke? So, do it then, if you can. What’s wrong? I know…you can’t do it, can you? The light in the darkness is stronger than you thought, and you can’t stand it.” Sasuke glared angrily and said, “Shut up, Naruto.” But Naruto continued, “It’s because of the light that you suffer; it reminds you of what you once had and is now lost. But it doesn’t have to be that way, Sasuke. I believe that as long as there is even the smallest speck of light, you can be saved from the darkness.” Sasuke’s frown deepened, and again he said, “Shut up!” Naruto continued, “I’ll admit, I almost lost control of my rage…honestly, I’d like to kill you for what you threatened to do. It’s the same as I felt when I thought Pain had killed Hinata, and so many others of the Leaf. And after I brought down Yahiko Pain and faced Nagato, I almost lost control then, as well. But I didn’t. Do you know why?” Sasuke said, “I said shut up, Naruto!” But again Naruto said, “It’s because, as much as I wanted to get revenge for everything he’d done…there was one thing I wanted more than vengeance. And that is…to live up to Jiraiya-sensei’s dream! To change the Ninja World; to break this endless cycle of rage and vengeance that leads to so much senseless suffering and death!!! Anger feeds anger…killing leads to hate and vengeance, and vengeance leads to more vengeance…so I won’t allow my anger to control me in this battle we are about to begin. I will fight with as pure and kind of a heart as I possibly can. And you, Sasuke…let it all out. All the rage and hatred that has overtaken you, unleash it on me instead of Konoha and the Elders. And if you've become so evil that you feel the need to have your way with Sakura…then just do that to me, instead.” Sasuke stopped frowning and gaped at Naruto, and Naruto grinned mischievously and added, “I can use my Sexy No Jutsu, if that’ll make it easier for you!” Sasuke continued to gape, and after a moment he started to chuckle…his chuckling soon became laughter, and Naruto quickly joined in. But it wasn’t long before Sasuke stopped laughing, looked at Naruto seriously and said, “You are so selfless and pure…it’s sick.” Naruto smiled and said, “It was nice to laugh with you again, Sasuke, if only for a moment. I hope that by the end of this fight ...however it ends, we can laugh together once more.” Sasuke said, “So be it…if you want to be a martyr that badly, then I’ll grant your wish. Konoha will weep and despair for the death of its “hero”, and when they try to avenge you…as they will, regardless of your idealistic ramblings…that’s when I’ll unleash the Nine-Tails upon them, and kill the Elders with my bare hands. But as a gift to you, Naruto, for willingly sacrificing yourself to me…I’ll spare Sakura from my original plan and give her a quick death. Anyways, she’s fawned over me for so long that she might actually enjoy being violated by me…so there’s really no point in doing that, is there?” Naruto said as he smiled, “See, you’re giving me a gift, so you can’t be all bad, right? Thank you, Sasuke! I accept your gift with gratitude!” Sasuke frowned, then he scoffed and said, “Alright, enough talk; words will get us nowhere. It is time, Naruto. Now…allow me to show you something before I kill you.” Meanwhile, several miles away, Sakura had fallen to her knees and was sobbing. Kakashi and several others from Konoha were with her, and among them was Hinata. She was using her Byakugan to read the lips of Naruto and Sasuke, and had recited to the others everything that had been said. Hinata had to wipe away her own tears so she could keep watch. She said in a sad voice, “Naruto…I know you care deeply for Sasuke, but I never imagined you would go this far to save him! You’re willing to shoulder the burden of all his hatred, to give up your life and your dream of becoming Hokage…even to offer your body to him in that way?! It’s too much, Naruto-kun!!! Even if you do somehow save him that way, at what cost to yourself?! I’m sorry to say this in front of you, Sakura-san, but Sasuke is…he’s not worth it!!!” Sakura stopped herself for long enough to say in a tragic voice, “There’s no need to apologize, Hinata…you’re absolutely right. As much as it pains me to say this, Sasuke is not worth it! He has become a beast, a heartless monster!!! Naruto has better eyes than I do, if he can see so much as a speck of good in him now. All I see is pure evil! I should have…I should’ve killed Sasuke when I had the chance …but I was weak, as always. And once again, Naruto is suffering because of my weakness. I…I don’t…” She abruptly started beating on her own breast, but Kakashi caught her wrist and said, “Easy, Sakura… beating yourself up won’t do anyone any good. Remember, Naruto may depend on your healing to survive this battle, which won’t be very good if you’re busy healing yourself.” As tears trailed down her cheeks and she held her aching chest, Sakura said, “Naruto… save Sasuke, if you must, but please…don’t give up everything for it! Please…DON’T DIE, NARUTO!!!”
