Life, death, and Harmony
Prologue
Kakashi couldn't believe his eyes. To think that the three adults standing in front of him were his former students was unbelievable. "It feels like just yesterday that these three were mere Genin, and now look at them, one has become Hokage and the other two are now Jounin in their own right" he thought Sakura and Sauske were awarded their titles and positions. After the war had ended it didn't take long for the village to recognize Naruto as a truly capable shinobi and someone who deserved to be made the 6th Hokage after Tsunade's untimely passing in battle. Sauske had returned to the village at first to try and destroy it, but after being beaten by Naruto he decided maybe he should stay, and protect the village Itachi died to protect. While Naruto worked on rebuilding the village and its relations with the other villages, he left the medical stuff to Sakura, the only person he knew who knew about that area. At first Sauske was very secluded and wasn't trusted, but after a few months people began to warm up to him again, and he eventually started working with the ANBU to catch criminals and rouges like he used to be. Naruto and Hinata finally managed to work out their feelings for each other, and have now been happily married for 6 months, and Sauske found that he and Ino actually had a lot in common; they've been dating for 4 months. Yet Kakashi hadn't found anyone to be with, though there was of course someone that had stolen his heart, but it wasn't right. He knew she could never be with an old geezer like him. His love for her would never change, despite their student-teacher relationship, despite their age difference, he would always love her, even if she never knew.
