I think this is the last chapter to the story and then there will be an epilogue

I do not own Naruto.

Chapter 25: The End

He did it without warning. Nobody would've ever expect the Hyuga clan leader to take his own life. He didn't leave a letter, he didn't leave anything. It was all a mystery. Who was going to run the Hyuga clan now that Hiashi was dead? What was Naruto and Hinata going to do with the press?

They thought all their problems would be all gone if Hiashi disappeared from their lives, but that wasn't the case at all. There was going to be an entire investigation about his suicide and both Naruto and Hinata would have to make a statement. Perhaps the hardships were just steps that needed to be taken in order to be truly happy. They've been through a lot. Now that Hiashi is no longer in their lives, they can start over again and move on.

Tsunade dismissed everybody from the court hearing and went to answer questions from the nosy reporters. Naruto and Hinata both bolted through the doors and sped off to Hinata's home.

Luckily, the paparazzi didn't follow them. When they arrived, the two let out a heavy sigh.

"It's finally over." Naruto spoke.

"Yes, it is."

"What do we do now?"

"We deal with his burial and the press interviews, then we can go back to being happy again." she looked up at him.

"Happy." Naruto chuckled a bit,"I almost forgot how it felt to be happy,y'know."

"We can achieve the happiness we once had,Naruto." she placed a hand on his cheek,"I belive in us. We can do it."

"You're right, we can." Naruto grinned before planting a soft kiss on Hinata's lips.

Two weeks later-Hiashi's funeral

It was a somber Monday for the Hyuga clan. Many of them, loved their clan leader and were devastated about his death. The rest were still contemplating how to feel about his death because of the rumors about the trial.

Naruto and Hinata sat silently in the front row listening to a Hyuga elder's speech about Hiashi. The couple was only invited because Hinata had to make a speech and talk about who would be clan leader.

"Hyuga Hinata, would you like to make your speech now?" the elder asked.

"Hai," Hinata rose from her seat and made her way to the podium.

The crowd and their pale eyes stared at her, waiting for her to mutter something. Hinata looked at Naruto and he gave her a thumbs up of encouragement. Hinata let out a sigh and clenched her eyes shut. It was now or never.

"As you all probably know, my father and I didn't have the relationship that fathers and I were supposed to have... And if you didn't know that, then you probably remember me as the rebellious daughter who didn't give a shit about her family and ran away with her boyfriend. Despite what you make think about me, this is about the man lying in the coffin-my father." she let out a breath,"He loved his clan more than anything, you were all his world. He wanted it all for the Hyuga, a-and he made some wrong turns, but I never would say that he wasn't a great clan leader. As his daughter, I have nothing left to say about him. But as the eldest child of Hiashi, I decline being clan leader. Instead, the Hyuga elders will run the clan and when Hanabi is of age, she will become clan leader."

And with that, Hinata stepped down from the podium and Naruto and her left the funeral immediately.

"You did good, baby." Naruto told his fiancee.

"Thanks. I'm finally free from the Hyuga." she let out a happy sigh.

"Let's go home." Naruto grinned.

That's it folks. I'm sorry for the short chapter, but I wanted the epilogue to be really special. Yep, that's right! There will be an epilogue.

I have a question to ask you all!- Would you all like me to do a NaruHina 10 Day Challenge? All one-shots rated T-M. If you want me to, leave me prompts and I will use them, but there has to be enough for TEN days. ^_^ Thanks for reading and stay tuned for the epilogue!
