After the battle between Naruto and Sasuke, smiling together

Naruto had never felt so wretched. It was one thing to try and then fail, but being unable to even try was worse. He trusted Sakura - of course - but sitting so close beside her and only watching, waiting, was unimaginable torture.
Looking at Sasuke was even harder on his heart, but Naruto scarcely did otherwise. For the past minute - the longest minute of his life - he’d kept his stare on that bloodied face, hoping and willing and praying and trusting in Sakura and anything still fair in the world -
Suddenly Sasuke coughed, a rough, wet sound that shook his battered body and brought fresh blood to his lips. The first real sign of life other than his low, labored breathing, it prompted Naruto to send an excited look in Sakura’s direction, but her expression killed his enthusiasm. Leaning over Sasuke further, she brought her hands together at the very center of his chest and actually touched her palms to his skin, pushing down in rhythmic motions while her lips moved silently. Come on, come on, Naruto read. A cold chill pooled in his stomach.
“…Naruto.” He didn’t react to Kakashi’s soft voice or even the hand that gripped his shoulder; he just kept staring at Sasuke as though that were enough to hold his life intact. “Naruto, whatever happens… you saved him. Remember that.” The attempt was a solemn one - maybe part We won’t blame you -- but the intended comfort never touched down.
“What’s that even mean?” Naruto asked, more spoken thought than a real question. “If he - if Sasuke dies… I didn’t do anything.” He gritted his teeth, his restlessness finally boiling over. “Sasuke!” Leaning forward, he focused everything on that thin slit of faded black behind Sasuke’s nearly closed lids. “Sasuke, come on! Is this really what you want? Are you just gonna give up after all this?”
Sakura’s hands kept moving, scanning, directing her chakra.
“What kind of avenger lets himself die after everything he’s done? I don’t care what you think - you’re a Konoha ninja! You give up and you’re the sorriest one I’ve seen!”
“Naruto.”
I promised you. I promised Sakura-chan. I promised our team. I promised Inari and Tazuna. I promised-
“Itachi believed in you!” Naruto pushed, ignoring Kakashi. “Don’t make him regret it!”

This is Beautiful. I loved it from the begginning to end. Honestly, you nailed it perfectly. I loved how you kept the characters in character. And I definatly squeed when Naruto told Sasuke to tell Sakura what everhe wanted to say to her by himself. It was very enjoyable to read. Thank You so much!
Imma go and share it with a FC at NF if you don't mind. Of course I'll credit. :)
Now to more pressing matters...
