This is technically my second Fanfic that I've ever written. My other is on Media Miner. So I'm trying something different after a couple years and just plan on putting up this first chapter; though it may be short. I also do not have a title for this yet. If it does hit off, then I'll ask my readers for one.

I do not own Naruto

Epilogue

Being a Hokage has it benefits, despite the constant paperwork he has to go through. He finally has the acknowledgement he has yearned for. Sure it's been about ten years since his instatement; but he's happy regardless. He's actually gotten use to the every growing fan-base, but still isn't one for being swarmed, so he normally stays in the tower or travels via Shunshin or Hiraishin.

"Naruto."

"Hmm." He broke is gaze from the city of Konoha to look at the owner of the voice that said his name. "Yes, Sakura?"

At this point, Sakura had become more of a sister to him. So he gave her a job as his secretary, since he knew she could keep him on his job. Sometimes he'd wonder if that was a good idea, but he wouldn't change the option for anything. She was also used to doing paperwork for the Godaime, as her apprentice, so it was helpful in the paper reducing area.

"We received notice from our Recon group." She stated, then continued when he didn't respond. "Hinata did not find anything out of the ordinary, apart from the crater made during the fight between you and Pein."

Naruto scrunched his eyebrows in contemplation. It didn't make sense, especially when he definitely felt something out in that area. 'Hell, even Sakura's use of Mokuton allowed her to feel the same thing.

"Alright, when she gets back, send her in with a full report. I might be able to find something out of that."

"Hai." Sakura complied with a light smile then turned and left just as she came in.

It was just too weird. 'Something's not right, I just know it.'

'Maybe you're just overreacting, since paperwork can be stressful after all.'

'You may be right, but I still would like to check it out for myself. Otherwise I'm just going to have this nagging feeling, which will annoy the crap out of him. 'What's the matter Ser? Did you lose you sense of adventure after only ten years?'

A grumbling sigh came to his thoughts. 'I told you not to shorten my name like that. It's annoying.'

"Alright Serenity. You know I was just having fun." Naruto said with a whisper. He could just imagine her pouting face.

The Kyuubi and himself had been on equal terms since the final moments of the war. They found an agreement worth working on. Naruto was allowed to use the full extent of the Kyuubi's Chakra in exchange for him modifying the seal, allowing her to materialize, at any time, into the real world as a human woman. Of course, Naruto made sure there were restrictions on her abilities seeing as he didn't need anything destroyed in the case of a bad attitude. On occasion, she would appear as a little fox that would either walk next to him or lay on his shoulder.

When Serenity, as she liked to be called, was actually out and about, no one seemed to pay much mind, especially since she was rather modest just about all the time. She also made friends with everyone that was very close to Naruto. Not to mention being easy to spot; having Crimson hair that's shoulder length with bangs that fanned out and down on the left side of her face and being just as tall as Naruto as well.

'Good!' She exclaimed, though she couldn't hold back the small smile creeping onto her face. She just could not stay mad at her container.

"Well, tomorrow then." He added to himself while staring back out at his beloved city. 'Especially after I get that full report.'
