A/N: This is a fanfiction site, so duh I don't own Naruto, no one on this site does. Naruto is owned by a very lucky bastard. I do, however, own a Naruto OC.
A/N: This takes place just before Naruto left to go with Jiraiya in the series, so Sasuke is gone and it is just Kakashi and Sakura and Naruto.

A blonde figure stands up from his chair laying down his pencil. He picks up his piece of paper and folds it before putting it back down on the desk. A tear falls as he forms some hand seals and says something in a small inaudible whisper.
--The next day--
"Where is he?" said Sakura. "He has never been later than Kakashi."
A masked figure looked up from his orange book. "Well maybe we should go find him."
"When I find him he is so dead." Sakura said. With that they dispersed. Sakura went to the ramen stand he loved so much, while Kakashi checked the training grounds. They then met up at their usual training spot to see if either of them had any luck in finding their missing teammate, but they hadn't. Together they went to check his house.
Upon arrival they noticed something was wrong. Kakashi pushed open the door that was already opened. Sakura looked in and gasped at what she saw. Kakashi looked in and saw the same thing. There, on a table right in front of them was their missing teammate. He had a kunai in his chest and a cut on his wrist. Kakashi rushed forward and grabbed his wrist to check for a pulse, while Sakura ripped out the kunai and worked on healing his wounds. It didn't work. He was gone. Kakashi put his hand in front of Sakura who was trying desperately to bring him, but knew that there was no way he would. He had lost too much blood and he hit his heart with the kunai.
Sakura began to cry and watched as Kakashi picked up the note and began to read it.
To anyone who finds my body and note,
I am fed up with being called a monster, a demon, and told to die. I am tired of people beating me, accusing me, hating me. So I took their advice and left…for good. I am truly sorry for what trouble I caused you while I stayed here. I am truly sorry. I am sorry I was a worthless ninja. I'm sorry that I took up everyone's time. I am sorry about everything. Sorry that I am a monster. Sorry I housed a demon of pain and suffering. Just know for what I did I am truly sorry.
To Kakashi-sensei: Thanks for being a good teacher and not talking to about me to my face. Sorry I couldn't be a better student.
To Sakura: Sorry I couldn't full fill my promise and bring back your Sasuke.
To Tsunade-sama: Sorry for calling you old-lady. Thanks for the necklace. You may have your necklace back, I have no use for it.
To Jiraiya: Sorry I couldn't take you up on your offer to join you on your training and research journey, but thanks for offering. Sorry I made fun of your books and called you ero-sennin.
To Shikamaru: Sorry for being so troublesome.
To Choji: Sorry for calling you fat.
To Hinata: Sorry for embarrassing you and making you faint.
To Iruka-sensei: Sorry for making you pay for ramen all those times, you may have what little money I have left as a payment back.
To Konohamaru: Sorry for standing in your way of being the next Hokage.
To everyone else: Sorry for being alive.
Sorry,
Naruto Uzumaki.
Sakura stifled her sobs and swallowed the lump in her throat. Then the two walked to the Hokage to tell her of the grave news.
Knock! Knock! Knock! "Yes, come in." the Fifth Hokage said. Kakashi and Sakura both walked in. "Where's Naruto?" she asked them. They gave her a sad look and she was afraid of what could have happened to him. They gave her the note, and she knew. "I-It can't be true," she said after she read the note. Kakashi looked at her and handed her necklace.
"I'm sorry but it is." Kakashi said.
"We got there too late. He was g-g-gone." Sakura said having to swallow the lump in her throat again.
In shock and still not wanting to believe it, she said "Where's the body?"
"We left it where we found it, at his apartment."
They walked in silence as the three made their trip to the gruesome scene where Naruto had committed suicide. The Hokage crouched down to the body and looked at it trying not to break down.
"We tried, but we got here to late." Sakura said.
"We'll have to bury him," was the Hokage's only response.
"When?" Kakashi said.
"As soon as possible, I think. How about in two days?" Hokage said.
"I think that is doable." Kakashi said.
The Hokage sighed, "I still don't know what came over him."
--Two days later--
A casket lay at the front of a group of people all wearing black. It was a rainy day. Individually one by one the people came up to the casket to get one last look at the blonde ninja, some even leaving flowers. It was a small burial with few people. Only Naruto's friends came to it, since most of the villagers hated him. After all the people went through it was time for the casket to be buried. All eyes watched in silence as the wooden box was lowered gently into the hole below it.
It only took a few minutes for it to be completely buried but it felt like it took hours. Everyone mourned the loss after the ceremony ended, and some even stuck around the grave. Iruka, Sakura, Tsunade, and Kakashi all stayed at the grave after everyone had left. Iruka clutching Naruto's small frog designed wallet. Tsunade holding her necklace she got back from him. Sakura holding a single white rose. They turned around Kakashi lightly grabbing Sakura's shoulder to steer her away from the grave. "You all go ahead, I'll catch up." With that everyone but her left. Sakura leaned down to the grave placing her single white rose upon the tombstone.
A figure sighs looking down from the Hokage Mountain at the burial site. He turns away allowing his hood to fall off, revealing his yellow hair. He walks away.
