Arc 6 Resolution
Chapter 21
In The End
"Come one Asuka-chan open it," said Naruto, giving his beloved daughter a present. Currently it has been a few months since everything with Chronos happened. It was October 11th and they were at Hokage tower celebrating Naruto and Asuka's birthday. It was Asuka's very first birthday. Asuka opened it and the gift Naruto got the little girl was a cute little outfit.
"Yeah, thanks Naruto-tou-san," said Asuka. She got outfits, toys, and such other things sent from Suna, Ame, Taki, Kiri, Yuki, Cha, and of course from everyone of Naruto's friends.
"Wow, who helped you pick that out," asked Sakura.
"Hmph. I picked it out myself," said Naruto.
"That's a first. No orange," snorted Sasuke.
"Hey!"
"Relax, Hokage-sama," grinned Hiroko, weakly.
"I told you don't call me that," said Naruto. "You're my friend."
"Hmm, yeah, yeah gaki," said Hiroko, yawning. Naruto rolled his eyes.
"Asuka-chan what did Hiroko-nee-chan and Tachi-nii-san get you," asked Naruto.
"Books," said Asuka. Naruto sweatdropped. That's normal gift from Hiroko and Itachi. "On ninja history."
"What are you trying to bore her death," complained Naruto.
"She has expressed wanting to become a ninja to the lot of us," said Itachi. "So, it would help if she knew what she was getting into first."
"Uh, yeah," said Naruto.
"Hey, Naruto guess what Ino brought," said Sakura.
"What?"
"A Karaoke machine," said Sakura. Everyone but Sakura and Ino paled. Tai and Sano tried to leave, while Hiroko fell asleep. Itachi coughed. Shino, Hoku, Hachi, Hikari, Chi, and Kitsune began cleaning up. The others were twitching internally and outwardly. What are the crazy pink haired chick and blonde chick thinking? No one had a good singing voice.
"What's Karaoke," asked Asuka and Minako.
"Hokage-sama will show you," grinned Ino.
"Wha.." started Naruto, but he got the infamous puppy eyed dog look from Asuka and Minako.
"Pwease, Naruto-ji!"
"Yeah, come on Otou-san," said Asuka.
"Damn," muttered Naruto. "Fine, what song do you want me to sing?"
"I have one," grinned Hiroko, 'suddenly' up. "You are my sunshine."
"Yeah," said Asuka.
'Kill me now.'
'Having fun brat.'
"Alright, start it," said Naruto. "You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You'll never know, dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away
The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
When I awoke, dear, I was mistakenSo I hung my head and cried
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You'll never know, dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away
I'll always love you and make you happy
If you will only say the same
But if you leave me to love another
You'll regret it all someday
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You'll never know, dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away."
"Nice Naruto," said Hiroko. "You sing pretty good."
"Is your hearing going Hiroko," asked Itachi.
"Yeah." People started laughing. Life was well in Konoha for now.
Fifteen years later, Naruto was still Hokage. The children became ninja legends. He never married, save for having Asuka as a daughter. She became a ninja, along with Minako and Uchiha Hana. The Sannin, Kakashi, Shizune, Kurenai, Asuma, Gai, Anko, Hiroko and some others passed on. Itachi was still alive and married to Haruno Hana with no children, but the ones he had with Hiroko.
"Life continues on for the new generation ninja and kunoichi," mumbled Naruto, older, wiser, but still generally the same.
"What was that Naruto," asked Sasuke.
"Nothing, do you and Sakura have the reports," asked Naruto.
"Yes," said Sakura. "I have a feeling that a new Great Shinobi war is on the horizon."
"Likewise Naruto," said Sasuke.
"Okay, notify are allies," said Naruto. Man, it was times like these that he felt old. What ever happens in the future, Naruto knows that it'll work out in the end.
(It starts with)
One thing / I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind / I designed this rhyme
To explain in due time
All I know
time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
It's so unreal
Didn't look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Trying to hold on / but didn't even know
Wasted it all just to
Watch you go
I kept everything inside and even though I tried / it all fell apart
What it meant to me / will eventually / be a memory / of a time when I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
One thing / I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind / I designed this rhyme
To remind myself how
I tried so hard
In spite of the way you were mocking me
Acting like I was part of your property
Remembering all the times you fought with me
I'm surprised it got so (far)
Things aren't the way they were before
You wouldn't even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to me
In the end
You kept everything inside and even though I tried / it all fell apart
What it meant to me / will eventually / be a memory / of a time when I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There's only one thing you should know
I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There's only one thing you should know
I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
ACGOMN: The end for me but not for Konoha. I don't own the two songs. The last song was by Linkin Park. You are my sunshine is one of Louisiana state's songs–Davis and Charles Mitchell are the credited songwriters. Please REVIEW!
