A New World

The Final Valley

"I want my last fight as a shinobi... To be with you!"

"Stop this nonsense Naruto! I don't want to kill you!"

"And", Naruto said as he pulled out his headband and put it on tightening it, "What makes you think that you can kill me?!"

"I promised Ino that I'd bring you back! I'LL BRING YOU BACK DEAD OR ALIVE! BUT I WON'T GO BACK ON MY WORD! THIS IS MY WILL OF FIRE!"

"HOW NAIVE SASUKE! IF YOU'RE IN A HOPELESS SITUATION YOU SHOULD JUST GIVE UP! I WON'T LET YOU BRING ME BACK! NEVER! NOT DEAD! NOT ALIVE!"

"NARUTO! WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?! THIS ISN'T YOU! THE 'NARUTO I KNOW LOVES THE VILLAGE! THE NARUTO I KNOW WILL DO ANYTHING TO PROTECT HIS COMRADES! THE NARUTO I KNOW WILL NEVER BETRAY HIS COMRADES! THE NARUTO I KNOW IS LOYAL! YOU'RE THE EXACT OPPOSITE! WHERE IS THE NARUTO I KNOW?!"

"THAT NARUTO IS GONE! I'M A NEW NARUTO! THE BETTER ONE! WHY SHOULD I BE LOYAL TO THOSE WHO WOULDN'T HESITATE TO KILL ME?! YOU, KAKASHI, SAKURA, AND EVEN INO WILL JUST END UP TRYING TO KILL ME! YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND ME AT ALL!"

"NARUTO! WE CAN TALK THIS OUT! WE DON'T HAVE TO FIGHT EACH OTHER!"

"SORRY SASUKE. BUT I CAN'T BE SAVED. I'M FAR FROM SALVATION. I HAVE A GOAL I NEED TO ACHIEVE! AND I DON'T NEED DISTRACTIONS! THIS VILLAGE, THE PEOPLE, THE SHINOBI! ALL WERE JUST DISTRACTIONS FROM THE START!"

"I SAID IT BEFORE. AND I'LL SAY IT AGAIN! I DON'T WANT TO KILL YOU NARUTO!"

"STOP WASTING YOUR TIME IN SAYING WORTHLESS SHIT THAT WON'T EVEN PHASE ME! NOW THEN SASUKE! LET'S FIGHT!", Naruto yelled as he ran on the water with a kunai towards Sasuke.

"HAVE IT YOUR WAY NARUTO! I'LL KILL YOU!", Sasuke responded as he took out a kunai and ran towards Naruto on the water.

"NARUTOOOO!"

"SASUKEEEE!"

Their kunai made contact with each other as they looked each other in the eyes. Naruto had his Kyuubi eyes exposed. And Sasuke had his sharingan activated.

"Kurama! Get inside! I'll handle him!", Naruto muttered an order to the tiny fox on his head.

"Right kit! Don't you die on me!"

"I won't!"

Kurama disappeared in a puff of smoke, as Naruto put in more strength into his kunai, making Sasuke step back.

"Naruto do you really intend to kill me?! Do the times with Team 7 mean nothing to you?!"

"SHUT IT!", Naruto yelled as he kicked Sasuke in the gut, then delivering a punch to his face making the young Uchiha fly back.

"THOSE MOMENTS MEANT EVERYTHING TO ME! THEY MEANT THE WORLD TO ME!", Naruto yelled as he ran towards Sasuke with a kunai.

Sasuke got up and grabbed another kunai to block Naruto's attack, "Then why do this?!", he said with tears in his eyes as their kunai connected.

"YOU WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND! NOT IN A MILLION YEARS!"

"IF YOU TELL ME I'LL UNDERSTAND!", tears fell down his eyes as he pushed more strength into his kunai.

"Don't cry for me Sasuke. Even if I told you my pain, my suffering, my troubles. You wouldn't understand me. It's worthless to cry right now. Don't cry. Because, nothing will change if you keep crying. SO STOP CRYING!", Naruto yelled as tears welled up in his eyes.

"I can't leave you in the darkness Naruto! Not now! Not ever! I'll save you Naruto! I'll save you from yourself!"

"You idiot", tears finally fell down his face, "I already told you, that I'm far from salvation... Just give up... GIVE UP ON TRYING TO MAKE ME GIVE UP!"
