Perfect! Thanks for confirming 🙌
Here's a Fanfic Chapter 1 (narrative prose style) where Sasuke rejects Naruto's offer at the Valley of the End (Part 2) instead of accepting it:
Chapter 1 – The Broken Bond
The sky above the Valley of the End was torn in half — one side blazing with orange dusk, the other swallowed by shadows. Naruto and Sasuke lay on the shattered ground, their bodies broken, their chakra nearly gone. Blood mixed with rain, dripping into the river that flowed beneath the statues of Hashirama and Madara.
Naruto turned his head, his voice hoarse but steady.
"Sasuke… you don't have to carry it all alone. I've told you before — I'll bear the pain with you. That's what friends… that's what brothers do."
For a long moment, silence hung heavy. Sasuke's chest rose and fell, his eyes fixed on the sky. The memories came unbidden: Itachi's smile, the darkness of vengeance, the countless times Naruto had stood before him, stubborn, unyielding.
And yet… his heart refused to surrender.
Sasuke closed his eyes.
"You still don't understand, Naruto. Bonds only breed weakness. I can't accept your hand — not now, not ever."
Naruto's eyes widened. He tried to push himself upright, but his arms trembled, refusing to obey.
"You're wrong… You know you're wrong, Sasuke. After everything… after all this…"
Sasuke finally turned his head, the faintest shadow of a smirk on his lips, though his eyes were cold.
"I lost everything once. I won't risk losing it again. If I stay… if I accept you… I'll only betray myself. That's why… I'll walk this path alone."
The words cut deeper than any blade. Naruto felt his chest tighten, his breath catching as he reached out with a bloodied hand that never reached Sasuke's.
Sasuke stood, staggering but resolute. He glanced down at Naruto one last time — not with hatred, but with a silence that spoke louder than anger. Then, with the fading strength in his body, he turned and began walking away, each step echoing in Naruto's ears like a closing door.
Naruto's voice broke the night.
"SASUKE!!"
But the boy he called his brother didn't look back.
And so, at the Valley of the End, the bond was severed once more — not by death, but by choice.
This time, Naruto was left behind.
