Solar Eclipse

Naruto's POV

What...was this? I'm sure for certain that I am dead, so why when I opened my eyes I was in some world? It wasn't when I talked to Kurama, but the world seemed much more peaceful and relaxing. It was probably one of the most beautiful places, green grass and flower fields, and the sky a perfect blue with no clouds, and the sun's rays giving off a heat that was just perfect and soothing. That is when I realized it could not be the reality, even though the war was over that didn't mean the world can become this peaceful. Besides, climate was much, much different from this.

"Naruto..." Whispered a feminie voice. "Stand up..."

"Hmm?..." I said, standing up onto my feet slowly. "Where I am? What is this?..." I asked, looking around and trying to find the woman who spoke so gently and warmly.

"Naruto..." She said, walking out from behind the tree which caused my eyes to widen. With the crimson red long hair blowing through the wind, that's when I realized the woman who was talking to me was my mother again.

"M-mom?!" I said in shock, running up to her and instantly hugging her tightly. "W-what are you doing here?! What is this place?!" I asked again.

"Naruto." Said a masculine voice, walking from behind me. "This is heaven. Did...Sasuke really kill you?" He asked, wrapping his arms around me and mom in a group hug.

"D-Dad..." I said softly, looking over at him. I then shook my head. "Sasuke isn't the one to blame here...I asked him to kill me. He wouldn't do it, so I took his arm and shoved it right here..." I placed my hand onto the left side of my chest.

"You never told Minato about how you felt towards him? He is your dad, he has the right to know." Mom said with a small smile.

"But..." I sighed, shaking my head. "That doesn't matter! If I'm dead now and can't be with him...who cares..." I sat on the ground, looking down.

"Don't say that, I care about anything that causes you pain." Dad knelt down in front of me, placing his hand on top of my head. "So, you loved Sasuke huh?"

"No...I still do even when I am dead..." I corrected, looking off to the side. "I'm sorry if I am a disgrace of a son or something for liking Sasuke..." I apologized, a frown forming across my face.

Father shook his head. "No, of course not! I love you no matter what you think or feel. Whatever your sexuality is or who your friends with. Naruto, you are my son and always will be. You are a hero, you will become hokage."

Tears rushed down my face but I slowly nodded, then quickly rubbed the tears away from my face. "Thanks...dad." I stood back up on my feet. "Is...there any way I could get out of here? I...want to return to Sasuke."

"It is possible, but let me tell you that my little brother died previously." When he said the term 'little brother', I knew it had to be Itachi. "He didn't want to accept the fact you died within his hand, so he killed himself." He informed walking closer to me.

My eyes widened, moving my hands to my mouth and slowly shaking my head. No...I didn't want to believe such a thing. Sasuke couldn't be dead, absolutely not! Then I recalled what Itachi said, previously.

"Sasuke died, but he is alive now?" I asked for clarification.

"Yes, he is." He replied. "I brought him back to the world of the living because he still has a purpose he has not lived up to yet."

"But...if Sasuke died...then he should have been here right?!" I asked.

"He was here, yet you were still out. Right away Sasuke died he awakened here and encountered me. Then I brought him back, he is at the Final Valley awaiting your presence."
