"What the hell are you doing....Naruto...?" Kiba scoffed with a smile. "What- You came here, you killed more than half of us, and now you're playing hero? I-" Kiba laughed lightly. "WHAT THE HELL NARUTO!"
"What were your goals from the start....Naruto Uzumaki?" Shinji narrowed his eyes.
"Goals...?"
"I had no goals from the start," Naruto smiled. "It was you....that appeared. You appeared and I had something I live for."
Shinji's eyes widened.
"I wanted to kill you. I wanted to crush you so bad....but I....couldn't...." Naruto let out a choked sob. "I didn't want to...."
"It was just for a few moments, but I remembered," Naruto smiled softly. "I remembered he, Kiba who.........."
"We just met for a month.....so how the hell did this happen?" Naruto laughed lightly. "You turned my life into a whole disaster....but you were also the one who gave it a little light."
"Therefore...."
Naruto held Shinji's hand gently.
"Thank you....for existing."
For a moment, there was a silence.
It was such....a peaceful silence.
Tears ran down Shinji's cheeks.
"You have been struggling a lot, haven't you, Shinji?"
Shinji let out a small whimper.
"I know....it hurts. You're trying to hold it back."
He broke down into sobs.
"You don't have to anymore. Just live. Just keep on living."
"Just live."
"That's all....you have to do for me....Shinji."
"Let go of this side of you....live however you want."
His legs gave out.
His body fell onto the ground with a 'thud'.
Shinji slowly wiped away his tears.
"Just live."
He looked up at the three remaining Konoha shinobi.
"Just keep on living."
His eyes glowed red.
"Just live."
Blood splattered onto the floor.
"Continue living."
Footprints of red.
"It doesn't matter what you do, just continue to live."
Flames, burning, dancing so merrily.
"So...."
He stood under the bright sun, covered in blood from head to toe.
"Just live."
A smile that slowly wilted into a frown.
"Live however you want.....even if it'll be a bloodbath."

He realised that it wasn't all the pointless killing that made him smile so brightly.
It never was.
From the very start...from the second he was born.
He lived and he smiled....for other people.
While he himself was nothing but an emotionless killing machine.
He so desperately clung onto others.
And now that there was no one....
He could only fall.
And fall.
And......fall....
And as he fell he could only wonder....
Oh....
How terrible, foolish was his brother to not realise this?
But.....
So what if there was no one there?
He'll create a purpose for himself to live.
He, he alone survived.
He tore through the blood and flesh of others, and here alone he stands tall.
And there he shall stand, above the corpses of hundreds and thousands.
