Epliogue
Naruto walked down the street holding the hand of a small blonde haired blue eyed child. He had a soft smile on his face as he looked around. His blue eyes didn't old the same energy they once had, but they still shined brighter than most.
Today he was talking his grandson Minato to the park as was tradition every Saturday morning. Minato, was an almost perfect replica of himself without the scars. He minimally was pleased by this because he felt like he was actually related to the small boy.
He and Sasuke had grey hair, soft wrinkles and used the phrase 'back in my day'. Their little girl had grown up into a beautiful young woman, and Sasuke was actually relieved when she married because he would no longer be asked permission to date his daughter. She truly had become a remarkable young woman and there wasn't a more beautiful girl in the entire world.
In an ironic spin, Nozomi had actually married the little boy in the park. He wasn't much for conversation, but he was a good boy. He was actually so e what afraid of Nozomi which both he and Sasuke approved of greatly, but weren't really surprised-their daughter had inherited Naruto's ability to charm and Sasuke's ability to terrify. She was almost bi-polar.
They reached the park and Minato took off to identify the leaves that had fallen. Naruto sat on the park bench watching the sunshine blonde haired boy pick up a random leaf, turn it over, nod to himself before setting it down. He got this hobby from his father.
Naruto breathed in and out and his eye brows raised when a young adult version of his grandparents came into the park holding the hand of a little girl with red hair. Naruto recognized her immediately.
"Mom..."
Naruto turned and looked at his grandson who had already dropped the leaf and was staring at the little girl. Jiriyia held a ball and handed it to his mother who kicked it and chased after it. She played by herself while her parents watched. Minato quietly walked back over and tugged on Naruto's sleeve.
"Grandpa... How do you make a girl like you?" Minato asked with a blank expression.
"Give her a compliment." Naruto answered honestly.
He watched his grandson approach the little girl playing with the ball and Naruto watched carefully. His grandson scratched the back of his head nervously and the little girls face turned as red as her hair. She played with it in a shy gesture and Naruto watched Minato picked up a flower and hand it to her.
"If that's my mother... Than that must make you my father. I don't think I could've had more perfect parents." Naruto watched the young love start and the two of them played together and for the first time Naruto saw sheer joy and happiness etched across the face of the boy who would become his father.
Once Tsunade and Jiriyia took his mom home, Naruto took Minato home who couldn't stop talking about the little girl who had stolen his heart.
Naruto felt like he'd been given a huge gift by seeing that and now realizing where his family actually came from.
Minato ran into the house ahead of Naruto and Naruto stood before the house studying the beautiful home like he had done so many times before. He never did plant flowers out front but that was ok. Naruto walked inside the home and saw Minato talking a mile a minute to his mother who had a look of surprise yet delight seeing her son so happy. Naruto kissed his daughter... And grandmother on the cheek before walking upstairs and finding Sasuke at his desk signing papers. He walked in and kissed him on the lips. Sasuke was still the most beautiful person he'd ever seen and age only made him even more handsome.
"I couldn't have asked for a more perfect life than the one I was given." Naruto said with a smile.
"I'm happy you feel that way Naru. I couldn't be happier with how my life turned out." Sasuke replied. The two men walked downstairs hand in hand and joined their son-in-law, their daughter and their grandson who was making big plans for his future. Naruto smiled and looked at their most recent family photo with all five of them smiling and looking like everything was perfect, because it was.
