AN : Yo, I watched once a what if for Naruto Explained in YouTube, and I was really inspired to write my version of the ending. This AU takes place right after sealing Kaguya.

Disclaimer : I don't own anything.

Prologue

They did it. Naruko was beaming as the war was finally over, not realizing something that was bothering Sasuke.. A lot.

"Rikudo Sennin, can you remove the Rikudo Senjutsu from Naruko before anything else? I have a bad feeling about it." Sasuke suddenly blurted, making Kakashi, Sakura and even Naruko look at him as if he had grown a second head.

"Sasuke-o, does this mean that your answer have changed after fighting my mother?" Hagoromo asked as the Uchiha nodded slightly. However, as soon as Hagoromo looked at him, Sasuke realized why he couldn't help him.

"In order for the Rikudo Senjutsu to be gone, the Biju must take their Chakra back from Naruko." As soon as the words left the old sage's mouth, Sasuke did something unexpected. He sighed in a bit of relief. "So, in order for the Mugen Tsukuyomi to be undone, Sasuke and Naruko must make the same handseal, the Ne to be exact. I've searched a lot about it, there's no mistaking about it. Now dear Sasuke, it's your turn."

"I will.. But not before executing the five Kages in the Mugen Tsukuyomi." Sasuke's answer made Sakura, Kakashi and Naruko give him a look of shock.

"Sasuke, what did you say about the five Kages?" Kakashi asked the Uchiha who now looked at the Bijus then at Naruko.

"You know, I'm putting you Bijus under my control, and eventually, I might get rid of you... If you would not be helpful." Sasuke added as Kurama was about to attack him only for the Uchiha to look at them, and just like that, his Rinnegan pattern was formed in each and every Biju's eyes.

"He put the Bijus in a Genjutsu with a single glance. Naruko, I'm afraid that it's up to you now." Hagoromo said sadly. The girl looked at her rival with a hurt look on her face. However, she was shocked when she saw the Bijus tending grabbed her, Kurama pumping his Chakra inside of her, while the others took all of their Chakras back. She then panted as Sasuke nodded at her. What did that Teme just do?

"Sasuke, what is your goal? Why did you do that?" Kakashi asked the Uchiha who sighed.

"I originally was going to destroy, but now I changed. I want to destroy and rebuild. A village with no darkness, a world with as little pain as possible... The symbol of hope also... What I was talking about is revolution!" Sasuke replied as Kakashi gave him a frown.

"Revolution you said?" Kakashi asked only for Sasuke to clap his hands together.

"Chibaku Tensei!" As soon as he said that, nine planetoid encased the nine Bijus, Naruko was still panting and Kurama told her that he's counting on her.

"Thanks to this war, I got used pretty well to my left eye. Now everyone in front of me are gone.. Except you, Naruko." Sasuke said as he threw a few food pills at her before he ate his own. "Let's go somewhere else. The winner gives the loser his terms, and I mean all of his terms."

"So you mean that if you win, I'll do anything you ask me to, and vice versa?" Naruko asked Sasuke who smirked evilly, but nodded nontheless. "I don't think that losing is an option now..." She replied as Sasuke sighed. Why couldn't she realize how he truly felt?

Their children should not be like them. Their children should not suffer like them. Their children should not feel that loneliness and sabotaged training. Their children should reach their full potential. Sasuke thought wisely after many times, he practically begged her to kill him last time, alas.. She was so stubborn. This meant one thing. He will claim HIS dobe as his wife.

Sasuke knew that she had a very secret crush on him. He knows about her feelings better than he showed. He realized that. That day he transplanted Itachi's eyes to kill Tobi and to make sure that Naruko stays protected. However, the war broke and he had to end this, and now. He will not let someone else take her from him. He will win no matter what. His revolution is just a huge part, and with Naruko at his side, he will finally do it. If he can erase everything dark about the shinobi world, then only a bright future awaits their children..

"Sasuke, let go of the Bijus. They just gained their freedom. The five Kages are finally united. Why don't you just let it go?" Naruko asked Sasuke who gritted his teeth, clenched his fists before he looked at her.

"You were the Jinchuriki of all the Bijus. Now you hold only half of the Kyubi's power. Do you think that you can stop me?" Sasuke taunted the girl who shook. She doesn't know if she can pull it off, but at least she will try.

"I can't know unless I try." She replied seriously. He sighed as he gave her a sad look. He didn't want to harm her, the one person who never turned her back at him. Sakura tried to kill him, Kakashi was serious about trying to kill him, the rookies thought they can kill him.. All he have now was hid team, Orochimaru.. And hopefully, Naruko soon enough.

"Heh, let's go somewhere else. You know exactly what I'm talking about." He replied as she knew that moment, that she probably have no chance, but then again, she knew that either they'll die, either she will die. Kakashi looked at Sasuke in a dissapointed manner only for Sasuke to shoot him a livid look.

The Uchiha could hold grudges. He could probably let the grudge get married and have children and grandchildren before he would bury it. The Uchiha then asked Kakashi one question.

"What is her and the other's ranks?" Sasuke asked Kakashi who's eyes widened.

"Naruko is still a Genin, while the others are actually.. Chunins. What does that have anything to do with this?" Kakashi asked the Uchiha who's bloodlust was now rolling in waves.

"It have EVERYTHING to do with this. Naruko, let's go." Sasuke replied before he calmed himself a bit. Sakura then sputtered about her foolish love confession which Sasuke didn't even care about. "Sakura, you're really damn annoying. And an idiot blind to boot." He then put her on a Rinnegan-enhanced Genjutsu.

"Sasuke, you didn't have to.." Naruko started only for the Uchiha to reply.

"If I hadn't, she would have gotten in the way. Now Kakashi is tired, she's out of commission, and this fight will determine everything... You better focus." He replied as he looked at the old man. "I made my decision and came to terms with my emotions." He then went alongside Naruko to the valley of the end.

"He truly does something that no one else have done before... And so does she." Hagoromo told Kakashi. "Love is a very complicated thing, Asura and Indra used to love each other. Then they have something in common. Naruko and Sasuke, even in his darkest hours, he realized his feelings towards her... She didn't yet.. I think that he would probably bind her in order to get it her head."

"Naruko had a very unfair childhood. Sasuke had a tragic one... How come I never seen it? Had I knew.. I had my suspicions.." Kakashi muttered to himself only for Hagoromo to give him a sad smile.

"He will not kill her. My time is up in this world, Kakashi, I hope that it will not end up too badly. A word of advice, if Sasuke wins, support him. I know about your father, and I am amazed to see your loyalty." Hagoromo then started to shimmer like a ghost. "Leave it to fate to decide this time." And with that, the old sage was gone.

After a battle

"Forgive me." Sasuke said as he absorbed Naruko's Chakra enough to push her to exhaustion. The girl gave him a sad look as the Uchiha felt the Kyubi close his eyes in exhaustion. "I have no choice. As the strongest in this world, I can finally get what I wanted..."

"Sasuke, Kill me already." Naruko replied sadly. Sasuke looked at those big, sad, beautiful blue eyes of hers. Eyes that made him almost go back to Konoha, eyes thst pushed him forward for so many years, eyes he fell in love with.

"I admit, that you are the only person that I can NEVER kill no matter what." Sasuke sighed as she was shocked. Why? What made him?

"Sasuke, what are your terms? You win, I can't even move." Naruko admitted defeat as he smiled at her. Not scowled, not smirked, smiled a genuine true smile.

"I think that you better rest for a little while. But you will come with me! I. Want. Your. Loyalty. To. Me. Only. I want you to stop wasting your time on some ungrateful scoundrels. I want you to stop risking your life for people that are not even worth it. I want you to follow me, or walk with me, no matter what. I don't want you to leave my side." Sasuke replied as she gave him a confused look. She had no idea what his words meant.

"Sasuke, what do you mean by that?" Naruko asked as she panted hard, her Chakra was almost at zero. She was really thinking how to do something, anything, but him asking her for her loyalty? She was thinking about backing out of their deal. Then something prevented her from doing so.

"If you won, what would you have asked?" He asked curiously as he shook his head mentally at her obliviousness. He knew thst she loved him almost as much as he did. He will make her realize.

"That you come back to Konoha, and maybe start dating Sakura-chan?" She replied as he glared at her his most hateful one. Sakura, Sakura, Sakura. That user does not even know what love is. Naruko ALWAYS risked her life for him, yet Sakura did absolutely NOTHING in return.

"A good thing I won. If they submit, I will not kill them. Now then, promise me to follow me, and thst you will be my wife one day." Sasuke replied as Naruko's eyes widened. Sasuke wanted to marry her?

"Why me? I'm not as smart as Sakura-chan, nor as beautiful as Ino-chan, nor as a ladylike as Hinata-chan.." Naruko replied as he smirked at her. Before she knew, he grabbed her and carried her to the river bank. As her consciousness started to leave her, he put her head on his chest as he shifted her to a comfortable position, before he kissed the crown of her head.

"Rest Naruko-chan, and so I will. After that, I think that you know what I will do..." He said as the poor girl slept for a few days, as he was embracing her tightly.

The next day

Sasuke returned to the site of the Mugen Tsukuyomi, carrying a knocked out Naruko in his arms. His face had one emotion written on it : Peace. Finally he was at peace with himself. Finally he was at peace that Naruko promised to never leave his side. Then, he sighed in dismay. Should he kill Gaara... Yes. He will. Him and Tsunade out of necessity. He then glanced at Kakashi and Sakura.

"If you want to stop me, then try it. I am not holding anything back." He told them as he put Naruko gently, and then he turned as Kakashi sighed dejectedly. Sakura tried to rush only for Sasuke to put her in a Genjutsu.

"Sasuke, what you really want?" Kakashi asked and Sasuke smirked.

"Hmmm.. Peace. Like your village preaches the will of fire, yet they drove your father to suicide because he did exactly that? You know, I hate hypocrisy, something we share." He pointed at Naruko then at himself, "But soon enough, we'll share much more... One last time Kakashi, I don't want to kill you. Just back down, and this is all I am asking." Sasuke told his sensei who was now deep in thought. Kakashi then decided. Screw the village that took everything from him.

"You know, killing Gaara and Tsunade will break her. She might hate you." Kakashi advised Sasuke who sighed.

"He's my rival to her heart. And she's a vindictive bitch who promoted the most undeserved over the best shinobis. Karma is a bitch, and she's now hungry!" Sasuke told Kakashi who gave him a sad look. "She never turned her back on me, and now, I will get her and my pound of flesh. She could have told her the truth.. Now I will make everyone pay for hurting my one and only true friend, love, and soulmate. Do not interfere, and I will spare you. I need a guy like you, Kakashi. Think about it."

"Kill the Daimyos. This is my only advise. As long as they live, shinobis will always rise against you." Kakashi advised his ex-student, for sparing his two others.

"Ok. I will always think of you as a father." Sasuke replied, and then, with an amazing agility, he gracefully carried Naruko with him as he went to the five cocoons of the Gokages, and executed them in their sleep. He then lowered the Bijus and forced them to wave the rat handseal, as he did the same. Now all that's left was to collect his team, and maybe an ally. Sasuke then collected Team Taka as he then walked towards Kakashi.

The shinobi alliance woke up a bit later from their daze. Sasuke had already left Suigetsu with Samehada, as B was still out, before the Hozoki was at his side, so was now Orochimaru, Karin, Jugo, and surprisingly, Kakashi of all people. Sasuke had put Naruko down, as gently as he could. Karin noticed and smirked slyly. So this was the girl loved all this time? She could live with that.

Shikamaru, Darui and Temari had already put all the clues together before Sasuke could say anything. Kakashi shook his head at them. Naruko was breathing slowly, Hinata however rushed like a falcon at the sight of the unconscious Uzumaki girl. She had to see for herself if her.. Love interest was okay or dead. However, before she could reach her, Sasuke had already been in front of her, a sword in his hand. Said sword was now on Hinata's little neck.

"You move another step, you die." Sasuke warned as Hinata gave him a questioning look, "She's mine!" That was all she needed to try and attack again. However, the Uchiha had no time for this as he slashed her in a non-lethal way. "I will spare you for Naruko."

"Sasuke, you're still soft as ever.." Suigetsu commented as the Uchiha shrugged.

"Now then, I think that we'll need to talk, about the final fight." Sasuke started as Kakashi was at his side. The Hatake backed the Uchiha up with his words about Madara, about Kaguya, and about Naruko.

"The shinobi system have brought this war, so right here right now, I am abolishing it. I executed the five Kages, and I control the Bijus. Now, is there anyone who wants to challenge me?" Sasuke asked as team Taka, Orochimaru and surprisingly, Kakashi, were at his side.

Sasuke collected the bodies of the five Kages as now many shouts and yell of outrage were heard. Sasuke waited enough time as Karin ordered him to bite her. He glanced at Gai, who recovered, but he was in a state where there's no way for him to do anything. As the shinobis rised against him, he just used his perfect Susanoo after he sealed the Bijus in his Chibaku Tensei again. Then, using hid Susanoo as a vessel, he redid that beast called ultimate Susanoo. The sight of the beast that bested their symbol of hope was enough to drop them to despair and break most of their wills. The weak can do nothing but obey..

"Anyone else now?" He shouted at the top of his lungs. They all realized that if Naruko of all people lost to this, it meant that they had no choice but to submit to this invincible, cruel conquerer. He then took team Taka, Orochimaru and Naruko before he looked at Kakashi and nodded. "See you soon Kakashi." And he went then to an undisclosed location, his team, his lover and his advisor in tow. As they arrived where Sasuke wanted to go, well, Orochimaru told him to go to one of his many hideouts. Sasuke then carried Naruko and put her gently in a bed. He begun rubbing her whiskered cheeks lovingly.

"Karin, take care of her. You're the only woman I can trust with her. Oh, and she's an Uzumaki like you by the way." Sasuke ordered his teammate as he popped a Chakra pill. He felt his power returns back. The Bijus were now hovering in their planetoid seals.

"Wow Sasuke, she gave you a bit of a trouble judging by these bruises. Are you sure that you want to marry her?" Suigetsu asked his leader who smirked lovingly. Naruko was a very special woman. She never turned her back on him, and now that he will reveal her the truth, she might let go of that naivety of hers?

"Suigetsu, Sasuke have a very special bond with her. Also, why don't you marry Karin? You two like each other most of the times." Jugo advised his friend as Orochimaru chuckled.

"Me and her? Well, I admit that she's kinda cute though with that fiery red hair of hers, but that's not a good reason.." He replied as Orochimaru took a seat, the other two doing the same while Sasuke was deep in thought.

"Sasuke-kun, what will you do with Naruko-san?" Orochimaru asked his student who shrugged.

"Hmm... I have a trillion different things that I always wished to do..." Sasuke smirked in a bit of a predatory manner, "But first thing is to let her recover."

"Fine, what is she then?" Orochimaru asked Sasuke who had a grin.

"Heh, she's mine." He replied possessively. "Orochimaru, tell me about her, like any dirt you got on Konoha. Any proof of their betrayal towards her. I want to get her to see the world my way, not entirely, but enough to understand me.. To understand why I'm doing this. That I know how she might never have realized her dream, despite everyone's acknowledgement. I want to destroy the leaf's fake facade of being a good place for anyone. I want to burn their reputation to the very ground. I want to show Naruko what they really think about her."

"Heh, never thought you would be the type of person to be a Yandere... Well, I have a memory... Do you remember when you payed for my Yoghurt back in the wave? When I told you that you won't pull an "Okay, let's take over the world!" card on us? Well, I knew that you're that type of person." Suigetsu snickered as Sasuke raised an eyebrow. "Well, with that out of the way, I know that it's not a matter of if you and that blonde get married, but a matter of when."

"You're perceptive and sharp, under a facade of a goofball." Sasuke noticed as Suigetsu laughed mirthfully.

"Alright, remember when I said that your winds are interesting? Well, now, what's your plan?" Orochimaru asked Sasuke who smirked.

"I'm going to Konoha and murdering the two elders, get all the information I need, and finally, get Naruko a present.." Sasuke announced as Suigetsu and Jugo smirked in anticipation while Orochimaru smiled. Oh this is a good plan for now.

"And after that?" Jugo asked as Sasuke shrugged.

"I don't know? Rule over the world with an iron fist?" Sasuke replied as Suigetsu laughed his ass off. They spent the time making a list of tasks to do, and how to chart a new, better direction for the world, for hours they debated with each other.

Then Karin arrived at the end. She had changed hers and Naruko's clothes, gave the blonde Uzumaki a bath, well, bathed with her younger cousin, and finally, helped replenish a bit of her Chakra.

"Sasuke, she's awake and she wants to see you, like now before she sleeps once again!" Karin told her teammate as she sighed. It was true that she loved Sasuke and all, but when she saw him smile like he used to, she realized that she didn't have any chance.

"Thank you for your help, Karin." Sasuke replied gratefully as the Uzumaki nodded back at him.

"If you hurt my cousin..." Karin warned and for once, Sasuke lowered his head in shame. Damn that was an instantaneous change.

"Karin, didn't you love Sasuke? How come you changed this fast?" Suigetsu asked as she sighed.

"I saw how he looked st her, how he kept her at an arm's reach until he left us. I understood that not only me, but everyone else should have knew that he's practically devoted to her..

"I think that he's actually... Well, Unisexual." Jugo replied as Suigetsu smirked.

"Nah, Naruko-sexual." He added as they laughed at Karin's eye rolling.

"I think that I am grilling Sasuke later for information. Besides, she might be the last family I have, I can take a loss gracefully." She told them honestly, then she smiled sadly. She had a crush on Sasuke, and she knew that it hurt to know that he was in love with her cousin, but then again.. She was the only girl to never give up on him. They deserved each other.

With Naruko

As she opened her eyes, she found a red haired woman healing her. She was shocked before she asked her.

"Thanks for helping me. Say, are you an Uzumaki by chance?" Naruko asked the woman who nodded. "I'm Naruko, Uzumaki Naruko, and you?"

"Karin. You're Sasuke's girlfriend, no?" She asked monotonously. "I think that I am an Uzumaki."

"Not his girlfriend.. My mom had a beautiful red hair, and she was an Uzumaki. So, how about we know each other? Like maybe we're long lost family or something?" Naruko replied as Karin had a sad smile.

"Let's do it. How about we take a bath, and maybe change our clothes?" Karin asked her recently discovered cousin.

"Oh hell yeah. I finally found a long lost family. My birthday was October 10th. I'm seventeen now." Naruko told Karin who smirked.

"June 20th was my seventeenth birthday. So I am older than you. You can call me Neechan if you want to." Karin told her. And she was surprised the more she talked with her. She then was crying at how her cute little cousin was so oblivious to her own feeling.

"I never realized that you loved him so much.. Even when they all turned their back on him. Sasuke is so lucky to have you in his life. Look, an advice from an older sister, don't let him go. He's practically devoted to you. I know that Sasuke seems cold an all, but whenever he talked about you, I remember him smiling.." Karin told her cousin. Then they had a bath, Karin wore a black outfit while Naruko a white gown. Then she excused herself as she went to fetch Sasuke. It was time for them to finally get their closure.

AN : And cut. Next time we'll be starting looking at the world at large.
