He nods his head as Jiraiya and Naruto grab their bags

They leave the hospital as Naruto gets a good look at the village before he leaves...

Y/n is quiet the whole way...his mind was blank...

As they walk through the village the memories of the past flow to y/n

Back to when he first arrived...the bells...the exams...his fight with Naruto...everything...

Y/n can't help but smile a bit

Y/n spaces out as his trance is broken by Jiraiya

Jiraiya:You gonna take the other half or is Naruto going to have to eat both?

Y/n grabs it and looks at it and eats it

Y/n:Thanks...

They continue walking

As they get closer and closer to the exit y/n's emotions grow stronger and stronger

He doesn't know what to say...

And then it happens...

They reach the gate to leave

Jiraiya and Naruto turn around and look at y/n

Jiraiya:I guess this is goodbye kid...

He ruffles y/n's head

Jiraiya:You got a bright future ahead of you y/n...go on the right path and you can bring many people with you...

Y/n doesn't joke around as he answers wholeheartedly

Y/n:I will Jiraiya...thank you for training me...

Jiraiya:I'll definitely have some extra to teach you when I get back...and I'll have Naruto to help me too!

Naruto is still silent

Y/n puts a hand on his shoulder

Y/n:Sometimes the best way to protect someone...is by letting go...

Naruto looks at him teary eyed

Naruto:But I don't want to let go...

He starts to cry

Y/n laughs

Y/n:Tears make you weak Naruto...I thought the time you spent with me would toughen you up...

Y/n how could you say that!

It's okay y/n...I won't think any less of you...I'm...sad too...

Huh?

Y/n turns around as he crosses his arms

Y/n:I...guess...

Tears start to hit the ground below him

Y/n:That makes me weak too...

He turns around teary eyed as well

Y/n:You two better come back! Or I'll...kill the person who killed you! Then I'll find some way to bring you back just to kill you again! I've learned so much from you Naruto!

The calm and collective y/n is now spilling his emotions without holding back

Y/n:You're gonna be the Hokage one day Naruto...and I'm gonna be right there for you all the way! We'll defeat the Akatsuki to protect the leaf village...we'll protect everyone! It might seem naive but you've shown me that big dreams can only be achieved by the motivation to accomplish those dreams! I'm proud of you Naruto! I'm proud to call you my friend! I'm proud to say I would die to protect you! I'm proud to call you my brother!

Naruto starts to walk towards y/n and puts his fist up

Naruto:One more for the road...

Y/n puts his fist up as well and fist pumps Naruto...one last time before he leaves...

Naruto:The first thing we're gonna do when we get back is go out and eat! On me!

Y/n wipes his tears as Naruto and Jiraiya leave

As they walk off he feels a part of himself gone...

Y/n:Farewell Naruto Uzamaki...Farewell Jiraiya...

As they finally disappear from sight he turns around only to be met with everyone from before

Y/n:How much did you all see!

Zabuza:Just all of it...

Everyone starts to walk their own separate ways as Zabuza walks up to y/n and puts his hand on his shoulder

Zabuza:Kind of feels like losing someone huh?

Y/n:You must've felt that when I left...

Zabuza:Well just like I knew you were gonna be okay just like you know those two are gonna be okay...

Y/n:Yea...

Zabuza:You put the mist on Naruto didn't you?

Y/n:How else am I suppose to help those two if they get in trouble?

Zabuza:So much for letting go...

Y/n:I'll do it my own way...

Zabuza:Your mother must be very proud...I'm heading home...don't forget to see Tsunade...

Y/n:I forgot about that...

He quickly makes his way to where Tsunade usually is

Y/n:I assume this is important...

Tsunade takes out a note

Tsunade:Its from the Hokage...

Y/n:Are you not the Hokage?

Tsunade smiles as she gives him the note

Tsunade:I think you know this one personally. ..

Y/n grabs the paper as he reads through it

Y/n:So the old man was serious about that huh? Guess it's nearby and I have nothing better to do...why not?

He tucks the paper in his pocket as he leaves

Y/n leans on a nearby tree and looks to the sky

Y/n:You'll be stronger when you get back but so will I...until we meet again Naruto...

(See you in Shippuden)
