Sake Lullaby

I do not own Naruto and I never will (insert anime tears) or the song Whiskey lullaby this is for pure readable fun I came up with idea while the song was stuck in my head this story came to me and I decided to write it down. Enjoy and prepare to cry so keep a tissue close at hand fare WARNING this IS a tear jerker story. And I highly recommend playing the song as you read for maximum effect (suggest youtube)


Sake Lullaby
By: Tactician

Whiskey lullaby: Brad Paisely / Allison Kraus

The news of his death shocked the core of every Shinobi nation and village; an ANBU black ops captain of Konoha the land of fire, Naruto Uzumaki was dead. It wasn’t just that he died thou, a shinobi’s life is full of the hazard of dieing in battle…or of the injuries of one while recovering….or of assassination attempts….or poisoned….and even in the case of Naruto some had at first thought that the seal had broken, but this was not out of stupidity, The village had long ago relished there ignorance it was more out of concern as to if there past hated had harmed him and the seal more then anyone thought. No. What surprise them all was that he died drinking himself to death.

She put him out like the burnin' end of a midnight cigarette
She broke his heart he spent his whole life tryin' to forget
We watched him drink his pain away a little at a time
But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind
Until the night

(Flashback)

“I Love You! You are the only women for me. Why can’t you accept that, or is it that you won’t.” Naruto said his emotions on his sleeve, His emotion training forgotten. “You Know We can’t be together. Think of what the village would think. It would kill any hope off you ever being Hokage.” It was her last card she could play, she loved him too, but it would destroy everything he worked for, and she couldn’t let him do that “besides.” She thought. “There will be others better for him then me.” “I don’t care about what the villagers think. I will love you always, even when I die.” She could feel it in her heart that what he said was true, And cared just as much for him but she couldn’t let him destroy his chances for Hokage. So she did the only thing left to her, she lied. “I just don’t love you!” She could actually see his sparkling blue eyes dim slightly at those words; she couldn’t even look at the heart ache in those eyes so she turned her head away. “I…I think you should go.” She didn’t look up until she heard him turn and leave. As soon as he was gone she fell to her knees her hands held to her heart and cried. “You will find someone else someone better Naruto my love. Your will is strong you’ll be O.k.”

He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger
And finally drank away her memory
Life is short but this time it was bigger
Than the strength he had to get up off his knees

Naruto will was strong but it was held in place by his precious people and no one was more precious to him then her and those five word hurt him more then the sharpest blade or hardest coldest glare it did the one thing no one, not the villagers, his friends, his teammates even the fox inside him thought could happen it shattered his will.

After that it was not icharuka’s Raman shop people would most likely find him at, but anyone of the many bars in the village, this of course worried his friends but his smiling mask he always wore sense he was little kept anyone from knowing how defeated he truly was. It wasn’t until he was discovered face down in his home months later surrounded by sake bottles and the remains of a table destroyed by him falling on it as the alcohol destroyed him, of just how much help and friendship he had needed.

(End flashback)

We found him with his face down in the pillow
With a note that said “I'll love her till I die”

The report given was he had died of alcohol poisoning, a seal placed by himself on his left wrist aloud for the nine tailed foxes charka to not stop the effects of the alcohol, It was unclear if Naruto knew that the seal was too strong and aloud all the effects of the drink would give him beside being able to get drunk. The only other thing found with him was a note in his right hand, now held by its intended reader.

“No matter how much I drink I can’t forget or not love you
It just will not go away…..no matter how hard I try
I guess even with every thing I’ve tried I just can’t bring myself to lie
I will love you always, even when I’m die.”

The note fell onto the desk when she saw what was taped to the bottom of the letter the hand that held it now covered her mouth as tears poured from her eyes her other hand gripping breast and cloth over her heart wishing desperately for it to be just another prank. But it wasn’t, her necklace was returned to her once more. Tsunade continued to cry. “What have I done!? What have I done!?”

And when we buried him beneath the willow
The angels sang a whiskey lullaby

Lala-lalalala la lalalalala laaLLLaa!
Lala-lalalala la lalalalalalaa lllaa

More people came to the funeral then even the Saratobi’s, more then half the village showed up as well as Jiraiya, Iruka, Gaara and his brother and sister, the entire rookie 11 and their teachers, All of the clan heads, Tazuna and his family, the Hokage, even the princess of snow country come to this sad event. All of them shed tears on this day Ninja or civilian it didn’t matter, Even Sasuke and Kakashi cried silent tears as the heavens themselves cried as he was laid to rest under an old willow tree. The tombstone made of marble and a picture of the Hokage’s hat carved on the top, the tombstone read.

NARUTO UZAMAKI

OCTOBER 10 ????
OCTOBER 11 ??//

Hear leys a true Hokage who’s Will of fire was snuffed out far too soon.

(????/??// means I don’t know the dates.)

The rumors flew but nobody knew how much she blamed herself
For years and years she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath
She finally drank her pain away a little at a time
But she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind
Until the night

In the three years that followed saw a lot changes the ANBU conducted a now tradition preformed by even the veteran and reassigned members of not only the usual tattoo on the shoulder of a newly inducted member but also getting six whisker like tattoos three on each side of the face. Even Kakashi got them even if only the tips of the top ones are seen because of his mask. Jiraiya published his first Non-perverted series of books titled: Uzumaki Chronicles telling the un-biased story about Naruto and his exploits, and though the Kyubi celebration continued every October 10. October 11 became a day of morning for the one that had been shouldered a heavy burden. The biggest change but yet left unknown was Tsunade.

She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger
And finally drank away his memory
Life is short but this time it was bigger
Than the strength she had to get up off her knees

It was the night of the Kyubi celebration so large amounts of liquor could be purchased at once with out problem and with the celebration in full swing no one knew that the Hokage was not in her office or at the festivities. Tsunade had turned to drinking more then even she was known for, drinking sake like it was water she even went to the point of placing the same seal Naruto place on himself so she wouldn’t subconsciously hinder the effects of the sake with her healing skills. Her genjustu long since removed not caring how she looked anymore. She just stood there looking Naruto’s grave, the necklace she refused to ware again in one hand along with a photo of Naruto she kept with her at all times and a sake bottle in the other. She knew what she was doing to herself and she didn’t care. She had already named her Successor so what did it matter what she did with herself. “OOoooh Naruto I never wanted this.” She cried as she fell to her knees her hands held down as her tears fell on to her legs. “I should have told you the truth that day. I should have told you I Love You! You are the only man for me. Why I couldn’t accept that then? I don’t know. B…but….” She reached over and propped the photo onto the tombstone. “….even when I die I will love you forever.”

We found her with her face down in the pillow
Clinging to his picture for dear life

She was found the next day lying next to Naruto’s grave his picture still propped against the stone marker her hand draped over the old dirt mound as if to pull a loved one closer to her on a bed. She looked as if asleep but Shizune and the others knew better. But what surprised them was that Tsunade’s genjustu that she stopped using a few years ago was back in place but it should have stopped working upon her death.

We laid her next to him beneath the willow
While the angels sang a whiskey lullaby

The new Hokage stood there looking at the two graves. One belonging to Naruto and he side as he read the new one.

TSUNADE UZAMAKI

?????????
OCTOBER 11??/#

The flame of love must never burn out for we are empty without it.

The Hokage just shuck his head at the request in her will to be labeled as Naruto’s wife but seeing as it was her only request he had decided to honor it. “I had always thought you would beat me to the title of Hokage, but even though I wear the hat I can’t help fell it would have fit you best………….Take care of her…..Boss.” as Konohamaru began to walk away he couldn’t help look back and what saw brought a tear to his eye he didn’t even care if it a trick of the light as he saw what looked like Naruto sitting under the tree with Tsunade sitting in his lap her back resting against his chest her head just under his chin just enjoying each others company as they watched to sunset.

Lala-lalalala lalalalala laaLLLaa!
Lala-lalalala lalalalalalaa lllaa
Lala-lalalala lalalalala laaLLLaa!
Lala-lalalala lalalalalalaa lllaa
