Authors Note: This idea came to me while I was listening to a song called Never Too Late. That's why the title of this story is Never Too Late. I hope you like it.
Read, Enjoy and Review.

Dear Naruto-kun,
I'm writing this letter today to tell you that you will never see me again Naruto-kun, after this mission. No one knows this besides you, me, and the Hokage. I was sent on a suicide mission and I could reject it but I said no, 'I'll take it.' I was sent to kill Uchiha Sasuke. You don't know if he will be dead, Naruto-kun, but he will be before me and once you read this letter.
It makes me nervous to write this. Naruto-kun, I love you. I've always loved you. You did not know it, Naruto-kun. So many others people did, though. I wish you had relived it sooner; but, now ou know and I am happy.
Since the Academy days, I've always admired you from afar. You talked to me very little, or maybe because you didn't see me. Sakura-chan always said I was good at being invisible. I was glad for that but then I wasn't. Naruto-kun, I've always dreamed of being Mrs. Uzumaki. However, the heir of one of the great clans of Konoha couldn't marry a boy of no clan. I wouldn't matter what my father or the elders thought. I would have married you anyways.
Now, Naruto-kun, I have two last requests. It may shock you. It really shocked me to write this.
Naruto-kun? Will you marry me?
If you say yes, (which I know you will) 'till death of us part.'
I love you Naruto-kun, even after death, please don't forget me and don't avenge my death. This is my second request. It was my choice to take the mission.
I love you, for eternity.
Yours forever,
Hinata-chan

"I do." Naruto said crying in the Hokage's office. Tsunade looked at Naruto and she knew what this was about. Hinata's mission. Hinata came to her and asked if she could at least leave a letter for Naruto.
"What?" Tsunade asked even though she knew.
"I said 'I do.' Hinata-chan asked me to marry her in the letter. I accepted but we will never have a wedding or anything. 'Till death do us part.' That's what she wrote in the letter. Does that mean were not married anymore?" Naruto asked threw even more tears.
Tsunade walked over to Naruto and hugged him. "Do you love her?" Naruto the nodded. "Then, no you are still married. I'm sorry Naruto. This must be hard for you. It killed me to send Hinata on a suicide mission. I told her she didn't have to accept, but she did anyway." Tsunade and Naruto then stood there for twenty more minutes before Naruto pulled away.
I have to avenge her death. Naruto thought. Hinata told him not to but it didn't matter right now. He had lost his wife and many others of his precious people over the last ten years. He had gone through this once when Jirayia died and he wasn't going through it again. "I'm going home." Naruto sniffed.
"Okay, Naruto, if you need anything you can ask me." Tsunade said as she watched Naruto leave still crying.
