HybridTrash13/TammyHybrid21: Lol. I had a feeling you guessed ;P Obito's eyes degenerated because everyone was stuck under the influence of Shin: Jukai Kōtan. It turns them into a Shiro Zetsu, basically, without the Mokuton—if I'm right. The Senju cells were deteriorated and destroyed in the two years. Yup, Minato's ass is in trouble ^_^ This epilogue won't be taking place in the Pure Land, matter of fact. There's a brief moment where Kakashi ends up there, but as said before it's brief. Thanks for your reviews :3

I think I just gained my first flame since December. Thank you, KennyDildo/Guest. Flame on! (Just not here).

Epilogue: Chanced by Thrice

Uzumaki Naruto sighed, putting the paper of the requested mission down. He'd give it to Kakashi, seeing as the fifty year old man was planning on retiring within the next few years. The blonde insisted in retiring Kakashi when he turned forty, but that obviously didn't go as planned. Most of the last generation jōnin were aiming for a retirement, with chūnin of his generation descending or flourishing as a jōnin.

He became the Nanadaime Hokage.

Kakashi was the Rokudaime once upon a time, but retired from the position and returned to jōnin. He also gained an artificial throat and arm from Shin: Jukai Kōtan, and couldn't really be pushed any further than a low A-ranked.

Shikamaru and Temari got married, and had Shikadai.

Sarutobi Mirai became a respected chūnin who walked in the path of Shikamaru and Asuma.

Kurenai was aiming for retirement.

Iruka became an advisor of Naruto's.

Konohamaru became a respected jōnin, on the road of jōnin-sensei.

Gai was Gai.

Lee trained a mini-Lee.

Tenten opened a shop of her own, and became Konoha's number one weapon specialist.

Kiba entered ANBU at one point, stayed for six months and then left, returning to the days of being a hopeless lady-killer.

Shino became an academy teacher.

Ino and Sai finally stopped confusing each other and settled down. Their child was Inojin.

Chōji—surprisingly—got married to Karui, and the seventeenth head of the Akimichi Clan was named Chōchō.

Sasuke and Sakura got together again. They married, and had one child—again, apparently. It was Sarada. Sasuke had practically became a ghost with the political mission he was given, and it caused family problems. But recently, Sasuke returned. Their problems were fixed.

But him? Not really. He wasn't sure why, but his oldest son Boruto just didn't work well with him. He knew that being Hokage would cause problems here and there, and he'd promised himself he would fix them.

His second oldest daughter Himawari loved him, was called "daddy's princess" by more than a few people. She would often jump into his arms and hug his face when he got home. Boruto would scoff or wave—sometimes he'd just blatantly ignore him. Hinata would always kiss him hello, if he ever got home during the evening.

Naruto heard the soft chuckle of Kurama. He openly scoffed and went back to working. The bijū were returned to their respective villages, being put into children with open minds and brilliant insight.

It took five years to find all six children, but it worked out. It hurt a lot when the bijū was extracted, the only factors keeping him currently alive being his Rikudō chakra and Kurama. After affects of a bijū extraction lasted a long time, especially if eight of the nine bijū were yanked out.

He had one eye, too. Only his Byakugan remained; the Rinnegan was given to Sasuke, and Kakashi gained the Sharingan. Kamui was also passed down to him.

The Uzumaki internally sighed when the Kamui reminded him of Obito. After he died via Tomogoroshi no Haikotsu, Kakashi became so disconnected with everyone that some people thought he had turned psychotic—others theorized that he was cutting, most concluded he'd die within three months. It was ridiculous.

But, eventually, he somewhat regathered himself. The Hatake got older, a little bit more wiser—and became Boruto, Himawari and Sarada's grandfather in some weird aspect. He never really changed; he was always two hours late, he visited the memorial stone a lot, and he still read his Icha Icha around children, sometimes voicing the dialogue. Nobody understood as to why he read it still, he just gave them his signature eye smile whenever questioned about it.

Naruto internally chuckled, his hand flicking. A female ANBU appeared barely a moment later. "Get Kaka-sensei here please," he said.

She nodded, and disappeared in a shunshin.

Two hours, four foot tall stacks of paper, and a sore hand later, Kakashi opened the door of the office.

"God damn sensei!" Naruto shouted. In under a nanosecond, he chucked his pen at the opened door. Kakashi ducked, the pen soaring over his head and hitting the wall of the hall outside.

The Hatake straightened up, chuckling as he closed the door behind himself. He walked up to the desk. "Yes, yes, I know. 'Why was I so late?' you ask. Well a black cat crossed my path so I had to take the long way."

Naruto snorted, grumbling something before grabbing the paper and chucking it at Kakashi with a sulky expression. "Client specifically requested for you," he said. "Don't know why, but it's likely that she underestimated you because of you being old."

"I'm not old…" the Hatake grumbled as he scanned the paper briefly. "I've just lived longer than you."

"That's a variant of old, gramps."

"Maa, remember the old days when you believed that faeries were fairies? I do," Kakashi randomly mused aloud. He looked at the blonde jinchūriki with an eye smile. He lowered the paper. "I feel like I've lived longer than you."

"That's because you're old, dattebayo," Naruto shot back.

Kakashi chuckled and shrugged, amusement sparkling in his eyes. He turned and walked off. "Well, I'm off. I'll see you sometime else," he said, lazily waving as he walked out of the office.

The blonde Nanadaime rolled his eye, eyeing the other four large stacks of paper he still had to take care of with an evil expression. He sighed, and got to work.

Three weeks later, Hatake Kakashi was reported dead. Cause of death: Extreme chakra exhaustion and a seizure.

Three weeks earlier…

Ijigen no Jutsu was a mysterious jutsu.

The theory was even more mysterious.

Obito was a genius in dimension jutsu's. Godly, even.

Even though it was completely made up, a jutsu was a jutsu. Within the genjutsu, it was taught to Kakashi in Obito's "last" moments during the rockfall. He remembered it. He never forgot anything that had happened in the Tsukuyomi, because fake world or not he was spending time with Obito—something he wanted and most likely needed for thirty plus years.

He knew the hand seals and the requirements—the amount of chakra necessary, what seals were needed, how it should be executed and so forth.

The mission he was going on was perfect—more than perfect. He had to execute an irrelevant A-ranked Konohagakure no Sato missing-nin. That was it. He'd be gone for a week at most, possibly two.

He had nothing to lose, if he had a saying in it.

True, he'd probably cause Naruto to feel regret, but he had his family—Hinata, Himawari, Boruto…Sasuke and Sakura would be there for him and Hinata, while Sarada would be there for Himawari and Boruto, and vice versa. He was rather disconnected with the rest of the world, only speaking with the people unless it was necessary. Bonding only happened because it was forced—either that or it just happened like it did with his Team Seven.

But it wasn't like he was gonna die, as he planned to stay under the jutsu for only a decade, maybe less. There was a seventy-five percent chance that he'd fail, but he has worked under said circumstance more than once, and has survived it all. Failure was included.

He got off of his bed, staring at the sheets for a moment before grabbing his packing scroll from the nightstand and leaving. He took to the rooftops, passing one or two ninja as he made his way towards the gates.

"Katon: Hōsenka no Jutsu!"

Kakashi ducked underneath the fire bullets, racing forward with a kunai spontaneously appearing in his right hand. Lightning chakra gathered and sparked, the air crackling as he started forming a Raikiri.

The missing-nin's eyes widened, but he only had a brief second to take in a sharp breath before Kakashi's arm was stabbed through his heart. The man choked and coughed up blood before completely going limp, his expression dead with pain.

The Hatake pulled his arm out, wiping the blood on his pants. He pulled out a scroll, kneeling down and unravelling it in front of the body. He put his hands up in the tiger hand seal, the fūinjutsu markings on the paper glowing and sealing the fresh corpse away. He gathered the scroll back up, tucking it away and sitting against a freshly fallen tree. Leaves were burning around him, smoke filling the air above him.

But he payed it no mind. He raised his arms, molding chakra as he performed the ram, horse, monkey, dragon, tiger and ram hand seals. Nothing happened for a minute, so he stood up.

He instantly regretted it.

Barely a second later, his balance was lost. Ridiculous waves of pain hit him like a tornado—said comparison was something he has felt more than once—and he felt dizzy. He stumbled a few steps backwards, the world around him shifting.

The edges of his vision continuously flickered between black and light blue, his headache worsening. Colors turned carmine, then to a vignette glow—and then to a vivid version of his surroundings' colors. He gritted his teeth, bearing through it before a sharp pain hit him in his temples.

He grunted and fell forward on his chest. His vision finally blackened.

But the eternal oblivious abyss of unconsciousness didn't stay for long. Barely a second later, Kakashi felt the weight of a man on his chest and ice cold hands on his cheeks. He cracked open his eyes, his vision blurring greatly.

He saw a mans pale face, black eyes and short spiky hair. Scars marred the mans right face—and that was all he needed to know that it was Obito. His eyes widened slightly, his pupils dilating and his vision becoming much more clear.

The Uchiha allowed a smile, albeit it was small. Very small. "You're an idiot," he said in amusement. He chuckled, leaning forward slightly. "But your idiocy has amused me over the past three decades. Having idiocy as entertainment for that long is impressive, and thus, the idiot gets an award."

Kakashi frowned, his ears going red when he realized that Obito was sitting on his chest, the latter's knees pinning his forearms down. The Uchiha's hand cupped his cheeks and their noses were barely five inches away. "Obito—"

"You have a decade," Obito interrupted. His smile turned into a super rare, once in a life time grin. "I expect you to use those ten years wisely."

The Hatake's frown deepened, his face turning a beat red as Obito leaned forward even further, giving the silver haired jōnin an Eskimo kiss.

Light filled his vision, and he blinked, the weight and icy hands disappearing. He blinked a few more times, rubbing his eye as the flashlight was pulled away. "What are you doing…" he mumbled quietly and tiredly, staring down at the ground.

His voice was no longer the matured, smooth, caramel, everybody-wants-it voice he was so used to; it was his young, toddler voice. The one he was aiming to hear.

Realization dawned.

He smiled slightly, having a mini celebration from success.

Kakashi stopped rubbing his eyes when he felt hands rest on his arms. He stopped and looked up at the hands' owners, his smile widening when he saw the familiar face of the one and only Konoha no Shiroi Kiba—Hatake Sakumo.

Tears of joy and happiness prickled at his eyes as he sported a toothy grin. He giggled in a way only a five year old could giggle, and wrapped his arms his father in a hug that was forty-five years overdue. He felt his heart drop with ecstasy and happiness when the icy fingers of Obito brushed through his hair. Tears started flowing as he buried his face into his fathers shoulder, a half-laugh half-sob escaping his throat when the hug was returned.

He promised—vows, swears, pledges, oaths, guarantees, assures—that he would cherish the next ten years no matter what happened.

Aww, that was a sweet ending. TT^TT Timeline is kind of wonky because (for future reference) data for Gaiden hasn't been put on the wiki. Like, as in age or birth dates for Shippūden's kids.

Thank you for reading! :3
