Epilogue

Konohagakure no Sato in the heart of Fire Country was in mourning. The last of the Kazama Clan was gone, and there would never again be a blue eyed Oracle wandering the village, and guiding the Hidden Leaf through rough times. The Kazama Clan had finally fallen, and those who had lived through the previous Oracles suddenly felt defenseless, as though a long standing defense had suddenly vanished.

In many ways, it was the truth. Konoha had always had an Oracle to guide the village from the very moment of its founding. The Oracle Sorasmaru had met the Shodai Hokage through her distant kin, Uchiha Madara, and had guided him to build his village in its current position. Soramaru had become so besotted with the infant village, that she had settled in Konoha permanently, and started a family. Ever since then, Soramaru's children had lived and protected the village. By the power of the Oracle, Konoha had become one of the greatest Ninja Villages to ever exist, and now that the line of Oracles had broken…

Would the village fall without an Oracle? Konoha was entering its most difficult times. They were now to live without an Oracle. The Oracle, who had guided them, protected them…

Throughout the village, only one man did not grieve. Rather, he laughed and toasted Kazama Uzumaki Naruto Kazuki's name and gathered his forces to him. He never thought that the Oracle might have spoken of him in his last moments, and for Danzou, that would be his fall…
At the training ground seven, Zabuza and Haku stood before the Hero's Monument, and stared at the cenotaph. Ibiki and Anko arrived, both carrying a batch of lilies and they set the flowers at the monument. The two special jounin bowed their heads and rose to their feet. They nodded to Zabuza and Haku in acknowledgement and vanished in a swirl of leaves.

Quatre glanced up as he walked, squinting his eyes against the noon-time sun's glare. He was unaware of the figure following him.

Suddenly, as he passed an alley, almost forgotten instincts flared, and Quatre made to leap away just as a dark figure leapt toward him. Unfortunately, it seemed as if the figure knew what he was thinking, shifted, and Quatre found an arm around his waist, and a gloved hand over his mouth as he was dragged bodily into the alleyway.

"Don't scream," a familiar voice said, "I just want to ask you a question."

The hand left his mouth, and Quatre took the chance to reply harshly, "You could have simply walked up to me to ask."

"But would you have listened to me, Uzumaki Naruto?"

Quatre stiffened. "Where did you hear that name?" he hissed.

"When I was twenty-six," the voice said, "I passed my first team of students. Six months later, I entered them into an exam that would promote them to the next level in military ranking. An invasion took place, and Uzumaki Naruto intercepted a fatal blow for our military leader, and later died in my arms just after confessing his feelings to me." The arm around his waist tightened.

"Ka-Kakashi?!" Quatre whispered, shocked.

Yes, Once I was known as Hatake Kakashi, now, I am Trieze Kushrenada."

"The leader of OZ…" Quatre breathed. He twisted in Trieze's arms and looked into ice blue eyes. His lips curved in a wry smile before he frowned. "How do you remember all of this? I remember it because I had the Yochigan, but you?"

"I'm not quite sure," Trieze admitted. He paused and his free hand lifted to tenderly trace Quatre's face. "What you said before you died…"

"I meant it," Quatre said.

Trieze smiled. "I'm glad. What we had, but never had a chance to share… I'd like to have that now, if possible."

Quatre smiled. "Live. Survive this war. And at the end of everything, we'll see."

Trieze frowned. "Why?"

Quatre's smiled became enigmatic and he leaned up to brush his lips against Trieze's. He moved away and murmured, "Because as of two months ago, I, Quatre Raberba Winner, became a soldier who opposes you in this war."

He leaned in, pressed his lips against Trieze's once more, pulled away, and vanished out of the alley and into the crowd.

Trieze stood there, his mind blank.

"Opposite sides…" his eyes filled with sorrow. "Naruto…"
