Thirteen years ago, the greatest of all tailed beasts attacked the Village Hidden in the Leaves. It was due to the efforts of the Fourth Hokage that the beast was defeated and sealed into a new-born baby. Her name was Narui Uzumaki. She lived a life of hardships. Through her iron will and determination, she grew up to become a proud shinobi of the Village Hidden in the Leaves. Until one fateful day at the Valley of End.

Thirteen Years Later

At the fabled battleground of Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju, there stood two figures. One was tall for his height. He had black hair. He sported a blue shirt with white pants and blue sandals. His name was Sasuke Uchiha, the last surviving Uchiha besides his brother, Itachi. Standing across from him stood a red-haired girl. She was short for her age. Her long red hair was her most prominent feature. She too sported a blue shirt, but with a fish-net shirt underneath. Her lower body was adorned with a black ninja capris and sandals. She wore black fingerless gloves. Her names was Narui Uzumaki, the Dead Last.

"Sasuke," Narui croaked as she collapsed onto her knees. Blood poured out of the hole in her chest. Sasuke's head was coated with dried blood.

"Pathetic," Sasuke replied," You should have tried Narui." Sasuke slowly walked up to her. Narui didn't respond.

"What no exclamation of bringing me back? Where is the girl I know so well?" Sasuke taunted. Narui growled. Sasuke squatted to meet Narui at eye-level.

"Where is the girl I fell in love with?" Sasuke smirked. Narui's hand twitched at his statement.

"It seems like that you won't be able to do anything," Sasuke commented," This is perfect for me. You see Narui in order to achieve the power Itachi has. I have to kill the person closest to me." Narui's eyes widened.

"At first, I refused to do it," Sasuke stated," But that feeling went away after I synchronised with my curse mark." Sasuke started performing hand signs before slamming his hands on the ground.

"Here is something I learnt from Kakashi-sensei's scroll," Sasuke grinned," Earth Style: Rock Slide Jutsu." A boulder slammed into the ground next to Narui. She strained to look up, but her injuries prevented her.

"In five minutes, you will be fully buried by the falling boulders," Sasuke explained before leaning in close to Narui's face," This is goodbye, Narui." Sasuke leaned in. Their lips interlocked with each other. Sasuke moved away while Narui looked at him with regret and rage. Sasuke then smirked.

"Goodbye, Narui," Sasuke said before turning to walk away. What Narui couldn't see was the tears flowing down his cheeks.

Kakashi rushed to the Valley of End with his faithful summon, Pakkun, leading him. He learnt that Narui and Sasuke were fighting each other.

"Where are they?" Kakashi asked.

"They're just up ahead," Pakkun answered. Kakashi saw a clearing. He stopped to survey the area.

'I don't see them, Pakkun," Kakashi panicked.

'I don't know where they went. The trail runs cold here," Pakkun responded, sniffing the air. Kakashi inspected the area. He saw blood in the waterfall.

"Oh god, don't let her be dead," Kakashi thought, jumping to the top. He inspected the area.

"Help," Kakashi heard. He turned to see a pile of rubble. Kakashi widened his eyes.

"Pakkun, she's under the rubble," Kakashi shouted. Kakashi ran to the pile and started digging.

"Hang on, Narui," Kakashi called out, hoping she can hear him. Sadly, she couldn't. Nariu struggled and strained against her enclosing prison. The wound in her chest partially healed, giving her some form of movement.

"Help," Nairu weakly cried out. Tears were falling down her face. A boulder shifted close to Nairu.

"ARRGGHH," Nairu screamed as her hand fractured under the pressure. Pain flooded her system. Nariu laid there as the boulders slowly shifted closer.

"Is this it?" Nairu wondered as she stopped moving," After everything I have done, I will die by the hands of my best friend. No, my love."

"Pathetic," a voice rang in Nariu's head," Is this all you have?"

"Shut up, you stupid fox," Nairu mumbled.

"What about all the people who care for you? Would they want you to stop fighting?" the voice stated. Nariu widened her eyes.

"Baa-chan, Kakashi-sensei, Iruka-sensei, Ero-sennin, Konohamaru, Kiba, Shikamaru, Sakura, Shino, Tenten, Rock Lee, Neji, Hinata, Gaara," Nariu thought," I can't give up now. Not when there are people relying on me." With a scream, Nariu pushed against the boulders. She heard cracks and new pain. Suddenly, Narui felt a surge of power. It was different from the Kyuubi's chakra.

"What the," Narui thought. Then, pain flooded her entire system. She screamed. Kakashi could hear the screams and started digging fast.

"Hang on, Narui," Kakashi thought. Then, the rubble started shaking underneath him. With a blast, a pillar of light erupted from the rubble. Kakashi and Pakkun barely dodged the light. The boulders disappeared.

"Narui!" Kakashi shouted. The blue pillar could be seen across the Land of Fire and Wind. The Hidden Villages started panicking as they saw this a sign of bad times to come. The Daimyo of the Land of Fire looked out of his window.

"Hmmm, who could exhibit such power?" the Daimyo thought. Tsunade, the Fifth Hokage, looked out her window to see the pillar of light.

"Thank god, she's safe," Tsunade thought as she stared at the pillar. Rock Lee and Gaara observed the pillar.

"That was where Narui went," Rock Lee stated, worried about his 'eternal rival.'

"Don't worry, this means she's alive," Gaara replied. Rock Lee looked at him, confused.

The pillar of light could be seen by Wave Country and a school in the Land of Birds. A young girl saw this. Her pale eyes widened.

"Lara, she has awoken," the girl shouted accidentally bumping into some people," LARA." Suddenly, she heard a telepathic message. She increased her pace, nearly barging people aside to reach her destination.

"Who is this Sasuke person?" the girl wondered as she kept on running.

Sasuke turned when he noticed a bright light. He saw the pillar light. He punched a tree next to him in anger.

"Damn it, this means she's alive," Sasuke raged in his head," I should be angry about this, but I'm not. Don't I want to get stronger?" Sasuke noticed the light fading.

"Sasuke, I will bring you back to the village. Mark my words. Even if I have to break your legs, I will bring you back to the village no matter what," Sasuke heard Narui say in his head. Sasuke looked at Narui's direction.

"I will be waiting," Sasuke whispered, smiling before walking away. The pillar of light faded to reveal a floating Narui. As soon as the last ray of light faded, she started to fall. Narui braced for impact. She then felt herself land into someone's shoulders. She looked up to see the worried face of Kakashi.

"Kakashi-sen," Narui mumbled before blacking out. Kakashi noticed her chest wound.

"Pakku, she needs medical attention. Inform Tunade-sama about her condition," Kakashi ordered and rushed to the village. Pakkun nodded and poofed.

"Hang in there, Narui," Kakashi pleaded in his mind as he jumped branch after branch," Sasuke, you will pay for what you've done."
