Epilogue
Smoke still billowed from the ruins. Naruto hurried in front of the rest of the group, frantically trying to find any sign of his missing friend. “Sasuke!” He called. “SASUKE!”
Kakashi and Sakura came up behind him, Pakkun trailing at their heels. The little dog sniffed at the air and shook his head solemnly. “I don’t think they’re here, Naruto.” Kakashi told the boy when he saw Pakkun’s gesture. He placed a comforting hand on both Naruto and Sakura’s shoulders. “Come on, let’s go search elsewhere.”
Naruto and Sakura nodded sadly, each knowing somewhere deep in their hearts that they would probably never see their friend again. Sakura sniffled one or twice, trying her hardest not to cry. Naruto reached out and placed a comforting hand on her arm and she didn’t even try to shove it off. She attempted to smile over at him, but failed miserably as she let out a sob.
Kakashi gave her shoulder a squeeze and sent Naruto on ahead with her and Pakkun. When they were far enough ahead, he turned back to the charred remains of Orochimaru’s hideout. Out of the ashes rose a single stone pillar; all that remained of the original building. The pillar—unlike everything around it—remained free of any blemishes save in one spot. At the very top was a small patch of ash.
It was in the shape of the Uchiha clan symbol; the Uchiha fan.
So, Kakashi thought, a sigh escaping his lips. He’s dead. They all are. He turned away from the wreckage to follow his team. His heart was heavy with sorrow, but he knew that the boy’s fate had been inescapable. He had delved in evil practices and the penalty for such was death. All shinobi knew this.
Kakashi sighed again to clear his mind. He would tell Naruto and Sakura eventually, but he knew they couldn’t handle it yet. No, not yet. He smiled softly as memories flooded his head; memories from the day he’d met Uchiha Sasuke right up until the very moment that had just passed.
He would miss the boy. Despite all the wrong choices Sasuke had made, Kakashi still considered him an important student…no…more than that…an important friend.
Uchiha Sasuke had been a friend.

that was extremely sad... Sasuke-kun shouldn't have died... He only wanted what was the best for his clan... TG it doesn't ACTUALLY happen in the anime, right?
