AN - Yeah, yeah, its been a month since the last update. Deal with it.

Disclaimer - I do not own Naruto, because if I did I would not make stupid ass fucking decisions like cutting to Sasuke in the middle of a NaruHina moment and then cutting back to a fucking NaruSaku moment for cheap comedy because that's all NaruSaku is, a terrible fucking joke!GOD FUCKING DAMMIT KISHIMOTO!

Codename Shadowfox - XXI

Ichiraku's

"Well, that was fun." Naruto said as he walked out of the stand, patting his stomach. He still in his regular jounin outfit with a simple cloth face mask not unlike a certain one-eyes scarecrow's.

Naruto turned to his team and smiled again, "Listen, I'm proud that you all made it to the finals... but this is what it all comes down to. Obviously this is heart wrenching for me since two of my students are fighting in the first match and when Hinata beats her cousin then two of my students will be forced to fight each other once again... though I'm rooting for Hinata to win."

Hinata blushed and tried hiding inside of her coat to avoid her teammate's looks, while having caught the lines of a smirk on Naruto's mask.

"Gee, thanks for not playing favorites Boss." Kiba told the jounin with a slight glare, his voice dripping with sarcasm.

"It will indeed be an interesting match, but I look forward to fighting against you in the second round Hinata." Shino said stoutly.

It only took a few seconds for Kiba's brain to pick-up on what Shino just said, "HEY YOU BASTARD, DON'T GO DECLARING YOURSELF THE WINNER LIKE ITS ALREADY HAPPENED!" The feral boy shouted in the darkening street.

"Kiba, I based my statement on logical conclusion. Statistically speaking I've won 59.99 - repeating of course- percent of our spars. I hold the advantage, though logically there is a chance that you will win... however small it may be." Shino said with all seriousness.

"Kiba... I'm not sure if Shino is making fun of you or if this is how he trash talks, but you just got owned." Naruto added while snickering, only to let out a snort of laughter when Kiba turned and glared at him.

"Tch. Whatever, screw ya both." Kiba growled. Asses...

"N-Naruto-sensei wh-what will we do about training?" Hinata asked her henged boyfriend. This is what Naruto-kun will look like in a few years... Her three teammates turned to her when she voiced her question and all noticed her blushing brightly but they all assumed it was from the attention.

"Well Hinata, I already thought out a schedule. I'll be training you Mondays since I know Hiashi-sensei hates Mondays with a passion and will be too lazy to help you with any training.

Tuesdays I'll be training Kiba since his mother takes that day to check all the ninken and the clan supplies so while Tsume-sensei does that I'll be helping out Kiba.

Wednesdays is Shino's turn. Why? Well no particular reason."

"Were you making fun of me just then, sensei?" Shino asked only to receive what looked like a smirk from their masked sensei.

"Anyway, Thursdays is when the elite jounin usually hold meetings and after having to sit through one I'll be too pissed to help any of you.

Fridays the clan heads hold their weekly meetings with the council so I'll take that day to spar with you three using my clones. Saturday is my day off and Sunday... well it should be illegal to do anything Sunday so just take those two days to rest or train or whatever. Any questions?" Naruto asked after his speech.

"What are you going to be teaching us Sensei?" Kiba asked only for Naruto to shake his head no.

"That will be a secret. All of you will receive different training and since you will likely face each other I wont divulge any information on what the other two are training in. Now go home, get some rest, and I'll meet you outside of your compound at 8AM tomorrow Hinata." Naruto saw his secret girlfriend nod and he smiled before using a shunshin to return to the Namikaze estate.

Monday

It was 7:45 and freezing cold outside of the Hyuuga compound but Hinata sat calmly by a bench awaiting her favorite blonde. She heard footsteps through the mist to her left and smiled to herself as she saw Naruto walking towards her.

Naruto having noticed her gave a short wave which she returned before standing up and walking towards him. "G-Good morning Naruto-sensei."

Naruto smiled down at Hinata, having chosen to go with the normal jounin outfit as it did better against the cold, with only his cloth mask in place and not his ANBU issued one. "Good morning Hinata, ready to start training?"

"H-Hai, Naruto-sensei." She answered as a blush settled along her cheeks.

"Excellent, let's go." He said before transporting them both away with a normal leaf shunshin.

Unknown to either of them, Hiashi Hyuuga sat on his bed with his eyes narrowed. They looked even fiercer than normal due to his Byakugan being activated. Having seen his daughter's reaction to Naruto made him rather annoyed. If what Neji said was true, then we will be having words soon... Naruto.

Naruto and Hinata appeared the next second inside of his home, having dropped his modified henge and mask he turned around and kissed Hinata. While it was a rather chaste kiss, it was still enough to surprise Hinata but eventually making her melt into it.

After almost a minute they finally separated and Naruto had a sheepish expression while Hinata was beet red with her arms gripped in front of her chest. "S-Sorry about that Hina-chan... I've just been wanting to do that for a while and uh... we haven't had a chance since before the exams."

Hinata had a shy smile on her face as she looked down, gripping her hands in front of her heart tighter as she squeaked out, "I-It's ok N-Naruto-kun... I-I've wanted to k-kiss you too."

Naruto smiled and took one of her hands gently, as he led her through his house and out the back door. Naruto gained a touch of red across his cheeks as he thought about how he should ask his next question, "Hey Hinata?"

Hinata looked up and met his deep blue eyes, "Y-Yes, N-Naruto-kun?"

"I know it was a wierd request but, you brought your swimsuit right?" Naruto asked as they stepped into the back yard.

Hinata turned red again but nodded, "I-I'm wearing it underneath my clothes."

"Ok good, I thought that for this month we would work on that unique chakra manipulation of yours." Naruto explained as he led Hinata past his personal training ground and into the small forest in the back.

Hinata nodded, "A-Ah I see... so that's why you a-asked me to bring my b-bathing suit." only slightly disappointed at that being the reason.

"Yeah, anyway we're here." Naruto said as he pointed to a building with a fence surrounding it.

"W-Where is here, Naruto-kun?" Hinata asked as he led her inside.

"Oh, this was my family's artificial hot spring. I haven't turned on the fire so the water wont be too hot like a hot springs or cold like a river." Naruto said, gaining another slight coloring of red due to knowing what happens when a girl gets too hot or too cold thanks to his pervert of a godfather. He told her the door on the left is the girl's side while he headed towards the one on the right.

Hinata nodded and walked into the girl's side. She emerging a few minutes later in her one-piece bathing suit as she tried her best to shy away from him and hide her early developing body.

Naruto noticed this and slowly walked up to Hinata before wrapping his arms around her and kissing her cheek causing her to squeak in surprise. "You don't have to hide from me Hinata, I think you're beautiful and you look really cute in your swimsuit." He whispered into her ear as he tried to ignore the soft lumps pressed against his bare chest.

If he had to guess from them being pressed up against him along with information Jiraiya force-fed him, he would have to guess that Hinata was around a B-cup already and they would probably get even bigger as she grew older. He shook his head and forced down a blush as he cursed his godfather for trying to turn him to the pervy side. Damn you Jiraiya, you old bastard if your stupid perverted way of teaching messes up my relationship with Hinata, You'll be the first to know what it feels like to take a Rasengan straight up the ass.

Hinata was turning scarlet as she could feel herself pressed up against her boyfriend but after hearing what he said she asked in a whisper, "Y-You r-really think so?" Drawing some courage from his words she wrapped her own arms around him and could feel his toned back causing her to blush once more.

"Yeah, you're really pretty Hinata. I know that you're really shy, but you shouldn't be around me because I like you just the way are. Even if you do end up turning red and stutter every time you see me It wouldn't matter since I'll still like you." Naruto said as he pulled his head back slightly to look into her lavender pools just as she looked up and stared into his crystal blue eyes.

They drew closer to each other, already close enough to feel the other's breath. They both closed their eyes and their lips made contact, the continued like that until Naruto licked her bottom lip asking for permission. Unlike last time Hinata opened her mouth slightly and invited him in.

Neither knew what they were doing as they experimented with this new type of kiss. Hinata's tongue would reach his before shyly retreating back into her mouth, Naruto would try to follow but knowing Hinata's shy nature didn't want to press too far. After a while Hinata grew more comfortable with this and was able to meet him as they tasted each other. While it felt odd at first she couldn't deny that she was enjoying this new kiss as she involuntarily let out a small moan.

Naruto pulled her closer and tilted his head slightly to deepen the kiss, at first it felt really awkward as neither knew what to do and Hinata kept withdrawing but after she became more comfortable with it they both started enjoying it. They continued on, indifferent to the world around them, only acknowledging each other before the basic necessity of air became apparent.

Hinata was resting on Naruto's shoulder as she panted heavily with a massive blush on her face along with a shy smile. Naruto was only doing slightly better as he controlled his breathing with a grin on his face. "Hi...Hina?"

"Y-Yes, Na...Naruto-kun?"

"That was awesome."

Hinata giggled as she nodded into his shoulder, "It was."

After a few more seconds of calming down Naruto pulled back with a smile, "While I'd love to make out with you all day, we need to start training." He said teasingly making Hinata blush again but nod in agreement.

Tuesday

Naruto had just gotten back from picking up Kiba at the Inuzuka compound and after exchanging greetings with Tsume and ignoring Hana's attempts to hit on his 'Jounin henge' they were both walking up to the Namikaze mansion.

Kiba whistled as he took in the large house. "Nice place you got here, boss. Swanky."

Naruto looked over at Kiba, "Never say the word swanky again. It was actually my father's old clan home, they were just too small to justify making more than one building so instead they just built a mansion."

"Still though, I've never been in a mansion. Hell I've never even seen this place before, what part of the village are we in?" Kiba asked as Naruto opened the door and let them in.

"Believe it or not, we're actually on the border of the commercial district. There are actually seals on the gate that project a genjutsu that just makes the compound look like four small shops on the corner." Naruto explained.

"Woah, so your place is like stealth mode all the time?" Kiba asked, in complete wonder.

"Eh, pretty much?" Naruto responded as he scratched his head, not really seeing what was so amazing.

Kiba grinned, "Nice." As the walked through the living room towards a sliding glass door leading outside Kiba caught a painting out of the corner of his eye hanging over a fireplace. He half-heartedly glanced at it and noticed it was the Yondaime smiling with a pregnant red-haired woman next to him also smiling.

Kiba shrugged dispassionately before stopping and doing a double take, this time actually looking at the portrait. "Hey sensei, why do you have a painting of the Yondaime and some pregnant chick?"

Naruto turned and gave Kiba a 'Are you stupid?' look. "Well the 'Pregnant chick' as you dubbed her is my mother," Kiba winced slightly, "and the reason they are together is because they were taking a family portrait."

Kiba nodded dumbly before walking towards the glass door again, "ooh... so you're the Yondaime's son?"

"Yep."

"Cool."

Naruto opened the sliding door while mentally counting down. 3... 2... 1...

"WAIT WHAT THE HELL? You're the Yondaime's son?" Kiba yelled out in astonishment.

Kiba you do not disappoint... "Yes I am."

"But I thought you said your family name was Uzumaki?" Kiba protested.

"It is, I've had to keep my true name secret not only for my safety but that of Konoha's. Imagine what would happen if Iwa or Kumo found out that the Yondaime had not only a son but a son with a Uzumaki who also has a rare nature kekkei genkai? War Kiba, war would happen." Naruto told him.

"Huh?" Was Kiba's usually brilliant reply.

"Did you not pay attention at all during the academy?" Naruto asked as they reached a training ground.

"Err... not really? I kinda figured most of the boring stuff they taught at the academy was useless." Kiba confessed and Naruto nodded.

"While most of it is, history is actually useful at times. Iwa would declare war to come and kill me for revenge at the humiliation dad caused them during the third war since he slaughtered tons of their shinobi. Kumo would have attempted to kidnap me for my bloodlines and unlike a certain incident involving the Hyuuga, the Hokage probably wouldn't have taken it lying down and would have declared war." Naruto explained.

"Are you really that important?" Kiba asked stupidly.

Naruto just shrugged though, "No not really, those were all 'what if' situations. In reality though I'm just a regular jounin with a flee on sight order in Iwa. Well my Anbu mask is anyway, Iwa doesn't actually know who I am."

"Right... anyway! What are we going to train in sensei?" Kiba asked excitedly.

Naruto nodded, "Before we start, have you perfected canopy running yet?" Canopy running was a high-chuunin level chakra control technique that used the principles of weight distribution and chakra distribution in one. The ninja would need to learn to spread out his weight with each step using his chakra so as not to disturb the leaves and fall through the canopy. A side-effect of this training is perfect weight distribution which allows a shinobi to naturally silence his foot-steps.

"Uh... no. We did it while escaping that psycho Gaara during the second exam but my control was shifty the entire time, I'm just glad I was able to pull through or I would have died." Kiba admitted with a small frown.

"I see. We'll be working on that today, if you can master it by the end of the day I'll give you a new fire jutsu to learn." Naruto told him and Kiba grinned in delight.

"Alright, let's get to it then!" Kiba shouted and he leapt to the very top of the first tree and started running on top of the leaves, jumping from one tree to the other.

Wednesday

Shino was on the ground panting and let his swords drop with a clatter, his arms hanging limply as the fifty pound weights on each arm were dragging them down. Naruto undid his weight straps and handing him a bottle of water and a tower.

"You're getting better Shino, have you been practicing with Horunei?" Naruto asked as he sheathed his ninjato, not even slightly winded.

Shino had his coat off and was wiping the sweat from his arms as he nodded, "Hai. I've trained my kenjustu with Horunei when I have time."

Naruto smiled before it turned into a smirk and he leaned in slightly, "So, you two going out yet or what?"

Shino looked back calmly at Naruto and responded, "Horunei and I have a purely platonic friendship." Even with the flat tone in his voice, Naruto's use of the Shikaku had given his normal vision the ability to slightly detect changes in heat and he could tell that Shino was actively suppressing some that was trying to rise up on his cheeks.

Naruto just continued smirking as he said, "Whatever you gotta tell yourself Shino. Anyway, I thought it would be nice to brush up on your evasion training again, I even called in a friend to help." He said, and Shino could have sworn that a crazed look flashed through his sensei's eyes before he heard a voice from behind him.

"So you're my target today, huh? I hope you can dodge, I'd hate to have my fun end too fast." Shino turned around and came face to face with the one and only Anko Mitarashi.

Well...shit.

Thursday

"Sorry for being late Shikaku, I found him." Asuma said tiredly as he dragged a grumbling Naruto along.

"I was enjoying my ramen dammit!" The now standing Naruto half-shouted.

"Whatever Naruto just sit down... troublesome brat." Shikaku said, as he started the weekly elite jounin meeting.

Ugh, why the hell do we even have these? Kakashi should be here suffering with me also... lucky bastard. Naruto thought bitterly as he sat there listening to his sensei droll on in his bored tone of voice.

Friday

"BLUE!"

For Kami's... UGH! Why do you always pick me when I have both tags Naruto-kun? Hinata thought as she dodged Kiba and Akamaru's lunges while trying to make it to the safe-zone.

"Raiton: Spark Darts!" She heard Shino called out and used her Byakugan to dodge the incoming projectiles.

Almost... almost... alm- BZZZT ouch! One of the darts clipped Hinata's leg followed by another then another, she hit the floor trying to avoid anymore but could only feel numbness in her limbs. Dangit.

Kiba grinned and he jumped next to her and pried her hand open before retrieving the blue tag from her pocket.

"Raiton: Discharge." "Eh?" Kiba looked back to see Shino's hands in the ram sign before all the static on Hinata leapt from her and shocked him making him yelp out in pain. "A-Akamaru! T-take the tags and run!" He said letting the pieces of paper fall, with Akamaru picking them up in his mouth and taking off.

Shino narrowed his eyes in annoyance as he ran after the dog, sheathing his blades and sending out his bugs to cut off the ninken.

Hinata was still watching him with her Byakugan and had the barest of smirks. This is for shocking me Shino. She quickly ran through some hand seals with her now working arms due to the static jumping from her and whispered, "Suiton: Geyser Jutsu!"

Shino felt the ground under him shift for a moment and only thanks to his evasion training was he able to dodge the water that erupted from where he was standing. Shino looked back to see Hinata running at him with Kiba already in a tiger seal puffing out his chest.

"Katon: Hosenka!" Kiba shouted launching multiple speedy fireballs at Shino. Thinking fast Shino rolled in front of the geyser that was still going, using it to stop some of the fireballs also creating a light mist.

Running through his own seals he used the mist from the evaporated water to power his own. "Raiton: Field Current" Shino sent the jutsu out through his swords into the mist creating a lightning charged blockade.

After using the temporary deterrence he turned back to see that his bugs had cornered Akamaru and he sprinted towards the dog. "Akamaru, please give me the tags. I would rather not hurt you."

Seeing that his partner was in trouble but unable to do anything, Kiba ground his teeth in annoyance before giving in, "Akamaru... do it."

Akamaru whined slightly in Kiba's direction before dropping the tags on the ground, Shino had his bugs picked them up before making it to the safe-zone.

Naruto was watching from the safe-zone and smiled. He always enjoyed Fridays since it let him watch his students put the week's training to practical use. "Well done Shino, you too Hinata, Kiba, Akamaru. Shino it's your turn to pick lunch today so what are you in the mood for?"

"The Cypress Leaf. I feel like a salad." Shino answered.

Hinata nodded with a smile, "I could go for a salad."

"Tch. This is why I hate it when Shino wins... that place doesn't serve any meat at all!" Kiba grumbled with Akamaru barking in agreement.

"Don't worry I'm sure you wont fail next friday and then you can choose Yakiniku Q." Naruto said with a condescending smile.

Kiba scoffed and folded his arms, "Whatever, let's just go... I'll just have some fruit skewers again."

Finals Day

Naruto was in his standard jounin outfit with his henge on sitting next to Asuma as they waited for the tournament to start. If one looked closely though you could tell that the more rookie jounin were slightly tensed as what may happen today.

Last week Jiraiya brought news of Oto shinobi gathering in large groups throughout rice country as if they were preparing for something. Since Jiraiya heard that Orochimaru was last spotted in Rice, he quickly returned to Konoha to alert the Hokage.

Due to Sasuke's curse seal during the second exam and this new information the Hokage decided to call a meeting for all jounin and ANBU shinobi to tell them of the possibility of war.

The last week they were secretly preparing for anything, while at night Naruto and Jiraiya would use large amounts of clones to draw reinforcing seals on the village gates with invisible ink. Naruto used his Shikaku to see in the dark and even see the seal design due to the cold ink standing out on the wooden gate.

They've done all they could and could now only wait for what may or may not happen. He could only wonder if Kakashi got Jiraiya's toad to tell him what may happen today.

Kage booth

The Hokage nodded towards the two shinobi that entered the booth. One was a man in the standard kage robes with a veiled face while the other was a woman in a blue dress with long reddish hair. The Kazekage had to two of his ANBU as bodyguards while the Mizukage had a blue haired man with an eye-patch and a teenager with a wrapped up sword on his back.

"Greetings Kazekage-dono" He said before turning towards the woman, "I hear that you have successfully freed Kirigakure, congratulations Mizukage-dono."

The woman smiled brightly at the old man, "Thank you Hokage-dono, the civil war was long and brutal but thanks to one of the swordsmen returning with a large amount of money we were able to finish the last stretch and defeat Yagura."

"Ah yes, I heard about Shadowfox's run in with Zabuza during his genin's mission to wave. I'm glad he choose to let Zabuza live since it helped you free your people from that tyrant." The Hokage said as they all took a seat.

Mei nodded, "Yes Zabuza-kun was actually hoping to find Shadowfox-san after the tournament and challenge him to a spar. I feel he's still a little sore about being bested so easily." She said with a giggle.

"Yes, I've heard of your ANBU by the name of Shadowfox myself, he's made a name for himself in Iwa has he not? Not since the Yondaime Hokage have I seen a blonde haired man strike such fear into their hearts... one would think the Yondaime were still alive and merely faked his death to hide behind a mask. From the bingo book picture their hair and blue eyes are oddly similar." The Kazekage said accusingly.

"Yes well I can assure you that if my successor were still alive I would not be sitting at the Hokage desk doing paper work day-in and day out." The Hokage said with a laugh making Mei giggle as well, having only started learning of the horrors of paperwork. While Orochimaru disguised as the Kazekage also nodded in agreement but for another reason. Those lazy ex-teamates of mine always made me file the written reports... better handwriting my ass, Jiraiya is a seal-master after all and Tsunade's hand is steadier than anyone else I know! Bastards...

"Anyway, how about we begin the exams?" The Hokage said before nodding to Genma who quickly quieted the crowd.

"It is now time to begin Konohagakure's Bi-Annual Chuunin Exams!" He announced making he crowd cheer. "Now would Inuzuka Kiba and Aburame Shino please stay while the rest of you head up to the waiting area."

After the other finalists filed out Kiba was standing across from Shino in a ready stance, his claws already enlarged through his chakra while Shino was in kenjutsu stance with his swords drawn.

"M-Mei-sama... are those?" Chojuro asked.

Mei smiled and nodded, "I'm not sure how he acquired them but those are indeed the Fangblades. I can already tell this match will be interesting.

"Are both contestants ready?" Genma asked and received two nods, "HAJIME!"

"KATON: SCORCH SHOT!"

"Raiton: Light Shield."


AN - I have officially stopped reading the Naruto manga and I refuse to acknowledge anything that happened after chapter 615. You know what? Fuck it, I'll finish Naruto myself. Oh and please review!

Omake:

War's End

"Let's go Hinata!"

"Y-Yes!"

With Naruto running Kyuubi's chakra through himself and Hinata along with the rest of the Shinobi alliance. The Juubi was forced down long enough for Kakashi to capture Obito in the Kamui realm and deal with him at the cost of his own life, while Madara's artificial body was sealed away with his soul being extracted and devoured by Itachi's crow who had one of Edo-Tensei Nagato's rinnegan implanted in the other eye.

With Madara's death the Juubi's incomplete form began to rapidly destabilize. Naruto orders everyone to retreat and tells them to hide behind Hachibi while he channels all of Kyuubi's chakra to form a cloak around the eight-tails. The Juubi self-destructed in a massive explosion but everyone was safe due to Naruto and Bee's efforts.

With the war over all the shinobi returned to their own villages for much-needed rest. The five Kage decided to keep the peace that thousands died to create and created a monument at the Juubi crater dedicated to all who lost their lives during the Fourth Shinobi World War.

Two weeks after returning to the leaf Tsunade consulted the shinobi council and in a unanimous decision, Naruto was named the real Rokudaime Hokage after Tsunade declared she was retiring and 'Was too old for this shit.'

A week later Naruto Namikaze's coronation was held to the roaring approval of Konoha's citizens. Hinata silently cheered for her love finally achieving his dream.

Naruto was watching the masses cheer for him as he proudly smiled while wearing the Hokage robes and hat, they kept calling for a speech so he motioned for them to quiet down, which they all did almost immediately. Naruto could see them, all looking up at him, almost reverently, he always wanted to be recognized but after the last fight with Madara everyone saw him and Bee as the saviors of the world compared to the Rikudou Sennin himself.

"I... I want to thank you all for accepting me as your Hokage. I know I've shouted that I would one day be Hokage ever since I was a child, but I never truly thought I would be up here wearing the hat... I want to thank you all for accepting me. I want to thank all the brave shinobi who died during the Fourth War to create the peace that we will hopefully enjoy for many generations to come... I want to thanks my friends, and teacher for sticking by me through thick and thin. Most importantly, I want to thank one woman. The one who's always stood by me, but I was always too blind to see it. The one who risked her life to save me when Pein pinned me down."

As soon as Naruto said this Hinata's eyes widened and her breath hitched.

"The one who literally slapped some sense back into me after I saw Neji die in front of me... if not for her I might have lost my nerve and wouldn't have been able to help defeat Madara. The woman I'm talking about is of course, Hinata Hyuuga. A person who is stronger than she gives herself credit for and one who I respect and admire deeply."

At this everyone around Hinata move away leaving her blushing as Naruto looked down at her and called her up. She looked down, embarrassed but complied and was soon on top of the Hokage tower with a flushed face standing next to Naruto by the microphone.

"Hinata." He said lightly resounding throughout the village.

Hinata turned shyly and looked him in the eye. "H-Hai?"

"Thank you." He whispered before leaning in and kissing her, much to her surprise, embarrassment, and joy.

Cheers, whistles and cat-calls erupted throughout the village-wide audience. While boos were heard from Naruto's fan girls the general mood was joyful as the post-coronation festival began. Naruto and Hinata were seen walking around the village hand-in-hand greeting all who would congratulate the young Hokage on his new title and new love.

As the day came to an end Naruto was walking Hinata to the rebuilt Hyuuga compound. Stopping outside of it Naruto turned to her once more. "Hinata, thank you once again. For everything." He said before leaning in and kissing her deeply making her moan slightly before he pulled back. "I'll see you tomorrow for our date OK?"

Hinata smiled brightly, still in his arms before nodding enthusiastically. "Hai, Naruto-kun. I wouldn't miss it for the world."

Naruto chuckled and pecked her on the lips once again. "Neither would I." He said before using shunshin to return to the Hokage tower, where he now lived.

The End.
