Disclaimer : I Do Not Own Naruto, that beautifully created anime was done by Kishimoto himself. MY TRUE INSPIRATION WOOP WOOP
Yes this fanfic was originated from Wattpad and since I've a laptop, why not re-post it here on an actual fanfiction site? ENJOY GUYS!
The way his eyes stare at her, how his lips move as the words uttered were nothing less than precious and sweet. How did I know? Because I had memorized his lips movement when he utter such words. Especially towards me. But now, it seems like those same words were directed to her instead. A perfect scenario straight out from a shoujo manga. Yet it wasn't, because I was standing in the way of both of them.
They were so perfect, why did I have to exist?
Everything after that became a blur, the tears messing up with my vision. I didn't want to come to face with him or her or anyone for that matter. I had wanted to leave that scene and left the place in silence but he noticed the slightest movement. His eyes met mine and ... I couldn't. Thinking of his expression back then had hurt a million times more than what he had said to her. And here I thought I had succeeded in achieving acknowledgments from my village, had found the one I love and manage to gain the affection I once lacked when I was younger.
But I was wrong.
Nothing I ever do would be enough to erase their permanent impressions of me . Monster. Malice. Evil. Demon carrier. Killer. That was all I ever was to them, and will ever be. Who cares if I had sacrifice my life many times over? My life had caused many to perish, it was only right that I died for this village. That me saving this village meant nothing unless I am truly gone. After all, I am an excuse to ninjas everywhere. Why did I dream an impossible dream? They must have knew, I would never attained what I have always worked hard for.
I'm nothing.
"Naruto!" His voice echoed behind me as I quickened my speed. He's probably going to break up with me now. Regardless of everything we went through. All that fighting we had, the trust and faith I decided to have upon myself towards him. Those moments where it seemed I was the only one that mattered. I should have noticed there was something going on between those two yet I had make a fool of myself. That look in his eyes when he stared at her, the look of adoration and care. It was obvious from the start. Why did I let myself fall into his trap? How dumb was I?
What would have happened if I didn't say those words to him first?
I came to the end of the forest as my body towered just at the very edge of the cliff. Looking down, was a 10-metre drop water fall leading to the forest river, it's water currents look dangerous and deep. I had heard about this place. The Valley of The End. A place where he and I had it to the ultimate death yet he managed to slip past through my fingers. Would I be able to slip past his? The water currents look pleasantly inviting. Was this how life will come to end for me?
"Naruto! Don't!" he shouted, a few feet away from me. Was it funny how I could clearly see his face at that moment, even though my back was turned towards him. Before I changed my mind, before my heart takes over my mind I raised one of my hands. Choking back the tears, I managed to said my last words cheerfully.
"Goodbye, Teme,"
It seemed like someone had pressed the slow-mo button. My body tumbling forward, his hurrying steps, her deafening shrieks, my calming thoughts. It didn't take long before my body pummeled into a whirlpool of darkness. Using the little amount of chakra left, I allowed myself to go even deeper into the stream - making sure that after I was gone no one would find me at all. This was my fate, the only acceptable one for me. I closed my eyes and let the water take over what was left of a broken soul. This is the end, farewell. I'm sorry I couldn't be Hokage. I'm sorry I was useless. I'm sorry for confessing to you. I'm sorry for standing in the way of your potential love life. I had always wanted what was best for you and I thought I was capable of giving you just that. Seems like I was wrong, like usual. I'm sorry for existing and now, I will leave you.
All the best, Uchiha Sasuke.
