The battlefield lay still, a choked silence broken only by the ragged breaths of the surviving shinobi. Naruto knelt in the churned earth, the vibrant orange of his jumpsuit dulled by dust and ash. His wide, ocean-blue eyes were fixed on your motionless body, a hollow horror dawning in them. Sakura’s hand rested lightly on his shoulder, a gesture of comfort that couldn’t reach him. Then he saw it—the faint twitch in your hand. Everything in him shattered. He lunged forward, grasping your shoulders, his youthful face etched with a desperate, furious love.
