I have posted this up because there were some confusions with how I'm redoing the chapters. I'll delete the original version after I posted up 'till the most recent chapter (chapter Eighteen). Sorry for confusing you all, and I'm sorry with the really slow progress!

For those of you who's reading this for the first time, please don't mind what I just wrote :)

Naruto

Our surroundings were ruined; the tall, huge rocks that surrounded us were now a quarter of the size it was, scattered randomly forming something close to a fence to stop us from going any further. The sky was crying heavily, while the occasional lightning was fighting its way out of the clouds. I'm quite sure that the gods were weeping for us. We were at the Valley of the End; He stood on Uchiha Madara's statue, while I stood on Senju Hashirama's. This was the final fight of the Rikudou Sennin's descendants. We were both equally tattered; my black and orange jacket and the black shirt under it clung to my skin drenched with water and sweat. My orange pants torn at the hinges, also soaking wet. His hair was still in that same duck-butt hairstyle, while my long, blond hair's dyed with blood. I don't even know if it's all mine.

He charged his Chidori.

I formed my Rasengan.

"SASUKE!" I yelled as the spiral ball on my hand glowed as if to call out his name too.

"NARUTO!"

We were blinded by the light we had created as our prized techniques collided.

I shakily stood on my feet, but ended up crawling towards the man I call my best friend. Or is it brother? Maybe love?

I lost track on what he was to me, but I knew one thing, and that was all I needed.

He was one of, if not most, my precious people.

I finally reached him. I finally ran my hand through his hair one last time.

But his eyes weren't seeing me.

Glazed over, a grayish black.

I didn't need to check for his pulse to know that he was dead.

If only we had died together, then maybe I wouldn't feel such pain. Maybe, just maybe, I would have gone with him, the Sasuke that I knew, back up to heaven.

Curse my inherited longevity from my Uzumaki blood, mixed in with Kurama's effect.

You're welcome. You know you still have that technique, don't you?

Yes, that technique. The technique Ero-sennin had shown me right before he died.

Jikūkan fūin: Sennin Toho (Time-Space Seal: Sage Walk)

I don't remember how, but the words escaped my lips as my hands had subconsciously and slowly formed the several hand seals needed.

Have any last words?

My gaze on the Uchiha softened. As a matter of fact, I do.

"I wish… things could have gone happily―all from the very start. But that's not possible now is it? Neither I nor Kurama have enough chakra to go that far back…" I struggled to continue, wheezing, despite the fact that he was dead. "But… we have enough to go back to the Genin days…"

I looked up at the sky, seeing how the clouds have started to clear. The sunlight had seeped through, and it enveloped him. The sight had regained some energy in me, and I smiled my winning smile. "Thank you, Sasuke. I'll fix everything, even if it breaks every bone in my body to do it. I won't let anyone down, nor would I throw their faith for me away. I'll save everyone. I'll save you! I won't go back on my word, ttebayo!" My form started to fade away, but I didn't pay any attention to that. I kept my eyes on the sky, before closing my eyes.

"See you later."

Naruto had to refrain herself from groaning in front of the Third Hokage, for two main reasons:

One, she had just lost her great development in the top, female part of her body in a matter of exhausting seconds.

Two, she had a lot of explaining to do.
