AN: Okay, I know this epilogue is like 3 months late… I suppose inspiration did not arrive to me until I started writing DFL3. Obviously, this small chapter of mine is the better way for this story to connect with the next one. I know it's short, but I really didn't want to write ten thousand words on an epilogue. Besides, writing this was very tiring. Now, this story is officially complete!

Thank you to everyone who had supported this story ever since it began. I can now proudly state that I completed this story –but of course your help was very much appreciated. If I didn't have a backbone to rely on, maybe this story would be considered shit, and the person who created it –me- should declare forfeit before I make myself look more of an idiot by writing garbage. Please enjoy the last chapter of DFL2, I couldn't have made it without my supporters would ceaselessly wanting me to hold on and survive.

To those who are waiting for chapter 7 of DFL3, that one would take a while but fortunately –since I discussed it with Akane-chan the other day, which was at least three weeks ago- I do have a plan to continue it. The reason why I wrote this epilogue was that my group leader –she is like my boss but a much, much more considerate person than a superior- advised me to continue. So I did, and I hope you all enjoy this!

Additional AN: Okay, I will even list the children's relations here so no one gets confused.

Uzumaki Shani and Uzumaki Kagari are Naruto and Hinata's son and daughter.

Uchiha Asuran is Uchiha Itachi and Ichikaru Ayame's son.

Hyuga Yamase is Neji and Tenten's daughter.

Uchiha Kuroto and Uchiha Umi are Sasuke and Sakura's son and daughter.

Kamishiro Hikaru is Kamishiro Rin and Gaara's son.

Nara Tsubasa is Shikamaru and Ino's daughter.

To the endless amount of people that reviewed… You have my eternal gratefulness for this story to be alive!

(At the Uzumaki residence one day. Remember, Hinata and Naruto had been married for over 2 years)

"You're so cute, Shani-chan!" cooed Hinata to her older child as she drew circles on his cheek. She loved him so much –like any loving mother would do for her child. Hinata smiled as she touched him, his cheek was so soft and smooth, but that stoic expression he had on his face always depressed the Hyuga girl. She didn't know how a baby could have such a mature expression. As she kissed him on the nose for the hundredth time today, Hinata smiled sweetly when she saw her little Shani-chan grin at her affection. "So, you do like me, don't you, Shani-chan?"

The Forbidden infant only giggled lightly before pushing himself upward to get out of her grasp. Noticing his intentions –since he did that very frequently when Hinata held him- Hinata only tightened her hold slightly around his cute baby waist, and Shani knew it was hopeless. As of result, he pouted before turning away from his mother. Of course, the Hyuga heiress found this too adorable and poked his cheek again.

"I know you like kaachan," she cooed again to her baby boy and blowing in his ear. Shani now laughed endearingly like any infant would react when a sensitive spot on their body, and of course this pleased Hinata. After she wanted to hear what she wanted to from, Hinata gently placed me on the carpet before he sat there as quietly as a mouse. Soon afterwards, Shani crawled to the center of the living room and curled up like a ball and slept. Hinata approached his son again before brushing his intentionally grown long bang away for one second, she sighed to herself when she saw his crystal clear left eye.

To her, his eye was beautiful, it carried the hope for Konoha –just like how her husband was the saviour to this village. He was a human being nonetheless with or without this eye, why did some people have to hate it so much? In all honesty, some of the adults even despised Shani for having this permanently activated Byakugan, they didn't know the origin of it, and yet they were making their prejudices. Now she understood why Naruto wanted those people dead instead of reviving them, she should've understood him better. What made her feel worse was that she was his wife.

When the little Death Knight felt that his left face was being touched, he opened his eyes slowly and watched with fascination in terms of why his mother was so close to him again. After seeing her smile, Shani felt safe before reaching out his short, baby arms to signal that he wanted to be picked up. Noticing her precious baby wanting some affection, who was Hinata to refuse? Like mentioned, she loved him too much.

As she gave her son a big hug, Shani began to choke by gasping and any means possible. Hearing that her son was feeling uncomfortable, Hinata hurriedly loosened her wrap on him and checked if she was okay. She smiled instantly when she saw her son carrying a very childlike naughty grin on his face, flashing the brightest smile she had seen in her life. Who knew that she would not see it ever again in the future. Hinata knew she was tricked by her one year old son, she couldn't help but feel proud for wits proved that he was intelligent.

"Want to see your sister?" Hinata suggested even though Shani could not talk yet but babble. However, she knew he understood what she was saying; he wasn't a half demon for nothing. When Shani gave a weak nod, Hinata walked downstairs to the basement where Naruto had taken their daughter.

(In the basement)

"So, when the big bad wolf slid down the chimney of the brick house, he didn't knew that the three little pigs had set up a large pot of boiling water underneath. As he went down, without knowing, the big bad wolf fell into the big pot of burning water before the waters cooked him. So in the end, Kagari-chan, the moral of this story is that don't do bad things to people for they will get you back. Also, never take the easy way out in things or bad people would take advantage of it." Naruto said to his daughter who was listening to the Three Little Pigs attentively. The Death Knight then patted Kagari's back and as of result she purred pleasantly.

"Otousan…" murmured the baby girl, Naruto always loved to hear her talk. Kaachan was Kagari's first word, and otousan was her second. Despite that was all she knew at the moment, she was extremely bright for a one year old baby.

"You liked that story, Kagari-chan?" asked the dark assailant to his daughter again. He knew she understood her perfectly. When she motioned her head up and down repeatedly, Naruto could tell she was nodding. In addition, even without looking at her, Naruto easily figured out she was delighted and happy.

"Naruto," called his wife as she came down the stairs with Shani in her hands, "Why is Kagari-chan on your head? How many times did I tell you not to use her as a hat?"

"Hinata," protested the young Death Knight, "She was the one who crawled up there, I didn't do anything."

"Then take her off your head," Hinata practically ordered as she put Shani on the coffee table since there were two living rooms in this house; one in the basement, the other upstairs. "Don't use her like a hat."

"She's warm," argued Naruto a little playfully before talking to his baby girl. "You like it up here, don't you, Kagari-chan?" When the Uzumaki girl purred pleasantly, Naruto gave a small victorious smirk knowing that he had won this battle. However, when it came to Hinata, the Hyuga girl was determined that he would lose no matter what.

"No, she won't be sleeping on your head, Naruto," justified Hinata as she approached her husband leaving Shani alone for a moment. The Forbidden child just watched his parents with his right ivory eye devoid of much emotion. "She will catch a cold." Hinata swiftly picked up her baby girl off of Naruto's head, and naturally, tears formed in Kagari's eyes. When Hinata looked at Kagari in the eye, the Hyuga girl regretted her actions when she found out her baby was holding everything in. At last, Kagari began to cry.

"Hinata," Naruto said as he stood up next to his lovely wife before caressing Kagari's cheek, "What did you do to her?"

"I didn't do anything…" the Hyuga heiress insisted as she began to coo Kagari to cheer her up. Both parents really did not like to see their children sad and depressed. "I just took her off your head…"

"You should've done it when she was asleep, you know Kagari-chan-"

"I don't want to spoil her, Naruto," she told him firmly with a touch of sadness in her voice, "Father does not like his grandchildren spoiled, and I don't like it either. Besides, it's not like we don't love her and want to give her everything that we could."

"I guess so…" Naruto said between his coos to Kagari –who had calmed down now and snivelled from time to time. Oblivious to them, they have forgotten about Shani. Not that it really mattered, the little Byakugan user did not even move from his spot. He was just observing his parents as if it was the most fascinating thing in the world. He lightly grimaced as his right eye narrowed. Naruto then took his daughter out of Hinata's arms and placed her next to Shani, he knew Kagari always brightened up with her brother –and this time it was no different.

"Oni-chan!" Kagari exclaimed with pure delight, that was also one of the only words she knew. Once she declared it out loud, she embraced him tightly before cuddling in his chest. Even as a baby, Kagari was very affectionate towards Shani. The Forbidden child opened his eye a little more innocently seeing his sister so close again. For a baby, Shani was a curious one.

"Aren't they cute?" asked Hinata to Naruto as she rested her head comfortably on his shoulder. Hinata even kissed him on the cheek gently just to prove her point further. How did it work, who knew?

"Yeah," agreed the Death Knight quietly whispered in his lover's ear, "Just like little divine angels that could cleanse the world clean from darkness…"

"Why use that comparison?" inquired Hinata pleasantly before leaning on him now.

"Because they are beautiful…" answered the demon hunter easily as his arms encircled around her narrow waist. "Just like you, my lovely, wonderful Hinata."

"This isn't like you," she told him as her moved her hand back to wrap around his neck to pull him in closer, "What's with all the sweet talk, Naruto? You don't do that too often."

"Can's a husband compliment his majestic, exalted, marvellous wife?" Naruto questioned her softly and charmingly. Hinata's cheeks reddened just a little bit showing that she felt great having him saying such words of humility and care. "You know I love you."

"I love you, too." Hinata replied purring now as the kids leaped off the coffee table and lied on the couch, beginning to fall asleep. "Naruto…"

"What?" he asked looking at her admiringly. Naruto still could not believe how beautiful his wife could be for an eighteen year old. She was gorgeous, even more alluring than he first met her, more than when he reunited with her ever so long ago. He loved her so deeply, and now they were blessed with two wonderful children.

"Are you implying something?" she questioned him with a seductive look before kissing him a several times on the cheek. "I know you are, Aegis-kun." The Death Knight merely tilted his head to the right skilfully to show that he was complete aware of what she was trying to say.

"I do no such thing," replied Naruto pleading his innocence, "Why would you believe that?"

"You always sweet talk me when you want to make love, Aegis-kun," explained Hinata as she snuggled a bit more in his embrace, "Come on, talk some more and I may consider it."

"I always say good things about you, Hinata-chan," Naruto told her as he gently took her cheek and kissed it. "You don't like me complimenting you now?" The Hyuga girl shook her head.

"No, I love it," she said not wanting him to ever believe that she didn't like him praising her so frequently. What kind of woman didn't like getting eulogies? "But I still know that you want to have sex."

"Yeah…" The Death Knight cursed when his intentions were revealed all too quickly. His wife was getting undoubtedly sharp, his influence must be the key to her success. It was then when she turned around, her arms were entangled in his lovingly. "What is it, Hinata?"

"If you treat me to dinner tonight, I'll treat you in bed, okay?" Spending a bit of cash –which this family had plenty of- and in exchange, he would have the honour to experience the feeling of rebirth with his ever so faithful wife. This was an offer he couldn't possibly refuse; it was a win-win situation!

"Where do you want to go then?" Naruto offered humbly as he took his wife's unbelievably smooth hand.

"How about…" she soon tiptoed due to their height difference by 6 to 7 inches before whispering her desires in his ear. He was surprised to see how spoiled Hinata was trying to be, it wasn't everyday that she suggested to eat at the most expensive restaurant in town. Naruto knew that Neji and Tenten proposed this idea the last time they met at the local coffee shop. He safely assumed that it was a good idea, taking his wife out to a place like that was always worth it. "You like that, Naruto-kun?"

"Yeah," he replied slowly as he took another chance to smooch his girl –who was now his wife. Hinata smiled happily before hugging him tightly. Naruto responded by holding her back warmly. "I'll take you there tonight."

"Thank you so much," she said with thick gratitude in her voice, "I love you."

"I love you, too, Hina-chan."

"Now, where are Shani and Kagari?" Suddenly, the Death Knight panicked –although all the movement was in his eyes instead of his actual body. Their children were nowhere to be seen. "Oh no, where are they?" No doubt Hinata was deeply worried.

"I don't know…" murmured the Death Knight very dumbly. He obvious regretted his words in less than an instant.

"Weren't you watching them?"

"I was talking to you."

Unexpectedly, they heard a whining whimper from behind the couch, it sounded like Shani. Taking steps to reach behind the couch, Hinata wanted to give another one of her "awwwws" when she found out that Kagari was asleep –while using her older twin brother as a pillow. Obviously, Shani was pouted and whining, and trying very hard to get out of that mess. However, much to the little Death Knight's discomfort, Kagari did not wake up but snuggled closer to hold him more still than before. When Shani wanted to cry, Naruto quickly picked up his daughter, thus, Shani was free.

"Poor Shani-chan…" Hinata murmured and cooed her baby boy as she lifted him and allowed him to curl up in her arms. When the Hyuga heiress planted another sweet kiss on his soft forehead, Shani smiled soothingly before his right eye closed, and then drifted to a deep slumber. "You're so cute."

"Are we still going out, Hinata?" Naruto asked as he felt Kagari's soft breathing. Indeed, she was just adorable, and also very loveable. When Hinata nodded to respond, the duo did not waste any time and placed the babies back into their respective cribs. After making sure they were both warm, Hinata and Naruto were relieved enough to go out without needing any one to baby sit them. Besides, Forbidden was always here.

They took one last glimpse at them with a smile before going back to their own bedrooms to prepare for their night of pure ecstasy and magic.

(One year later at a local restaurant)

By this time, Shani and Kagari were already two. Moreover, that was the age of most of their friends as well. In other words, all the parents had two years of experience of being parents. Some of them were doing a good job and enjoying it; some found it okay, some up and downs midway; and the rest were going through a living nightmare.

What was the occasion for all the old friends to gather with another? Obviously, ever since most of them became parents, it was significantly more difficult to keep in contact. In all honesty, Naruto and Hinata always had connections with Sakura's family, Tenten's family, Rin's family, and everyone else. However, it was nearly an impossibility to meet everyone at once due to the fact each family had their own tasks and events to deal with. It was understandable; the Uzumakis had their own activities that clash with others' freetime.

Today, it was one of those rare occasions where nearly everyone was available, and Hinata, Rin, Sakura, Ayame, Ino, and Tenten did not hesitate to plan something huge. Neji seemed pleased; Gaara just agreed with Rin in whatever she was doing; Itachi slapped his head numerous of times with grief; Lee was seriously glad to have a gathering; Sasuke groaned knowing that he needed to be nice and formal –which Sakura gave a threat saying that he would not have sex for a month if he disagreed to go; Shikamaru just complained exasperatedly; and lastly, Naruto rolled his eyes at his wife's endless exuberance and zeal. In simpler terms, the only guys that actually looked forward to this was Neji, Gaara, and Lee.

Being parents, the kids were here as well. Surprisingly enough, Kakashi was here, too. Naruto insisted that he would not invite him –since he became the number 2 pervert in town- but miraculously the one-eyed ninja managed to figure out they had a meeting. When Kakashi greeted the nineteen year olds with the most casual face ever, it was hard for all of them not to invite the jounin to join them.

Rin became optimistic, and her intuition told her that having Kakashi couldn't be that bad. Her argument was that the purpose of this was to catch up, and Kakashi did have the perfect right to enjoy this. Obediently, Gaara immediately agreed with his wife –he never compromised this quickly with anyone. Seeing that there was no point to object, the rest hesitantly gave in to the Kamishiro girl's request.

However, the parents did keep their children close to themselves. Kakashi wasn't someone that they completely trust. Sakura, Hinata, and especially Rin knew that much. Naruto kept staring at Kakashi the entire time, who knew if he would even try to grope his wife? Anyone associated with Jiraiya that closely was not someone to be trusted that easily.

"How many words could Kagari-chan speak now?" asked Sakura as she drew circles on the Uzumaki girl's –who was in Hinata's arms- cheek. That earned the Haruno girl a good giggle.

"She could speak quite a few actually," answered Hinata as she gave her child a bottle of juice. "It's good hearing her talk."

"How about Shani?" Neji asked as he feathered his daughter's head.

"Shani-chan still had not said a word," replied Naruto a bit sadly as he saw his son playing with his ice-cream with a spoon as if he was attempting to stab it. "Ino-chan, you said that Shani had not been too happy at daycare, right?" The blond only nodded without much words escaping her lips.

"I don't know why the kids are scared of him, Naruto-kun," Ino told him worriedly, "If Kuroto-kun, Umi-chan, and the rest of the kids won't play with him, some of the psychologists said Shani-kun might go insane due to isolation and loneliness."

"Could a boy that young go insane that soon?" Itachi inquired curiously when he stole a glimpse at Asuran and Ayame. They seemed to be enjoying another's company. "Naruto didn't go insane when he was a kid."

"Ni-san is an exception," assured Rin taking a sip of milk tea, "Naruto-ni-san could take on anything without trouble!" Whenever it came to discussions about Naruto, Rin always praised him.

"Aren't you overrating his skills a bit too much, Rin-chan?" Sasuke asked, smirking knowingly.

"You are giving me too much credit," added Naruto humbly –like he always did, "I ain't that good." Hinata just smiled at her husband's constant humility, he would never choose to be too proud knowing only jerks and arrogant people did that. Yet, being proud sometimes did build up self-confidence. Obviously, overdoing it may also serve as a problem.

"I don't think Shani really has a problem," Kakashi suddenly said catching all the youths' attention. What was he saying? "I suppose these things do take time and each person is different. Just be patient, it will be fine." Neji and Sasuke both smirked in unison. Gaara, who was beside Neji, wondered why he did that.

"You know," commented the Hyuga genius having a dry sneer on his handsome face, "That's the wisest thing that you have said in a long while."

"I am still a genius," retorted Kakashi proudly, "Don't forget that."

"At being a pervert maybe," Lee stated trying to fight a laugh that was building up in his chest. Gaara, Sasuke, and Shikamaru chuckled together where as Kakashi did not appreciate it one bit. Naruto merely scoffed as he poured Itachi another cup of tea. Sakura utmost agreed that her former sensei was indeed a pervert, and she would never allow Kuroto or Umi to associate that close with him.

"You guys done yet?" the masked jounin asked a little bit impatient. "Anyway, Naruto, Hinata, I would say that you don't need to worry about your son that much. Like I said, it takes time. It's the same with puberty, everyone goes through it eventually. It's just the matter of sooner or later, and no one remains a child forever. You know he's not mute since he does cry when he has to, and we all know he's not mentally challenged when he's one of the brightest babies we know."

"I guess you're right…" whispered Hinata smiling gratefully where as Naruto just nodded to show his thanks.

"What words of wisdom!" praised Lee promptly, "If Gai-sensei was here, he's going to teach you all something greater than Kakashi-san!"

"Why isn't he here then?" asked Gaara, puzzled. In reality, he was glad that the thick-browed jounin was not here. Gai was one of the best people in this village that could ruin others' day –despite their moods were brighter than the sun itself. No one wanted to know how he did it, yet they knew he could do it. "Forget my question…"

"Gai-sensei is still amazing!" argued Lee when he saw Neji and Tenten looking away intentionally when Gai's name was mentioned. "As former students of Gai-sensei, Neji, Tenten, you have to support his wisdom."

"Are you kidding me, Lee?" Tenten questioned in disbelief, "If he actually puts some brains in his words, I am sure someone would pair up with him by now. He's already 33, and he's still single…"

"It's not like we don't respect him," added Neji supporting his wife, "But you do know that Gai can be annoying…" The rest of the gang promptly consented willingly.

"How could you two disregard Gai-sensei like that?" the taijutsu specialist declared out loud others heard him loud and clear. Some of them even allowed their curiosity to take the better of their judgments, and turned around. Most of them gave Lee a queer look at his outburst.

Today must be one of those days where Lee's hot-blooded nature became his primary attribute.

"Did I hear my name just now?" a voice came from the middle of nowhere behind Kakashi. Lee brightened up instantly where as the rest of them wanted to stand up and leave. Much to their discomfort, the intruder was conveniently blocking their path with his passionate speech. Naruto and Sasuke fought really hard not to combine their Mana Burn and Dragon Fire no jutsu on him.

"Gai-sensei!" exclaimed the thick-browed ANBU, "You made it!" All the women cringed, how did he know about this gathering when they didn't invite him? If this was some huge coincidence, the girls swore that their luck had plunged down for the worst.

"Why are you here?" Rin questioned drearily with the others' mood following suit.

"When my name is called, I know I need to be present," announced Gai with an incredibly annoying passion. "Besides, I can't let my eternal rival to have all the fun with you guys, right?"

"I am sure many others are calling your name right now," suggested Itachi with Ayame holding his hand, "Why don't you visit them to see what they need?" Naruto, Sasuke, Gaara, and Shikamaru knew Itachi wanted Gai to just get lost, yet he was too polite to state it that directly. Despite that, that jounin just didn't get it –and the girls just wanted to slap themselves across the face right on the bat.

"No, I think I like it here."

Oh great…

"Sure…" Ayame and Shikamaru said together with clear exasperation and dread.

"What were you talking about just now?" Gai inquired as he took a chair and sat between Kakashi and his favorite student. "Come on, spill the details." Ino and Sakura just sighed at his persistence, someone who admired Gai's passion was a bad place to be. Great attack, poor intellect.

"Don't say it, Lee…" warned the Death Knight giving off a dangerous glare, but Lee did not catch it, and decided to tell Gai everything about little Shani and Kakashi's advice. In his nice guy pose –which almost everyone detested at this point- Gai dedicated himself to make Shani talk today.

Hikaru, Yamase, Kagari, Asuran, Umi, Kuroto, and Tsubasa only watched curiously when Gai brought on his plan to play.

"So, not talking yet, eh, Shani?" Gai suddenly said as he patted the small boy on the shoulder when he was still stabbing his scoop of ice-cream. Once the Forbidden child felt such a disturbance, his right eye glinted with vigilance, and that was something nearly all kids did not have at the age of 2. "Come on, Kakashi saying that it takes time is nothing but blasphemy, you should be talking like the rest of your friends. You know what, when I say hello, you go ga-ga for me. And you must try to talk more when even if you don't really know anything…" No doubt Shani was getting irritated, he may be an infant, but he was no idiot. He was also someone easily to be annoyed.

"I suggest that you stop…" suggested Tenten wisely knowing that the little Death Knight was now crushing his ice-cream dessert.

"Yeah…" agreed Rin and Gaara, and practically everyone else.

"Are you guys kidding?" questioned the bowl haircut jounin gasping in disbelief, "Just because Kakashi said something smart doesn't mean I shouldn't either. Shani needs my wisdom!"

"I wonder who needs it more…" Hinata moaned as she patted Kagari's head.

"I really suggest that you stop," urged the younger Uchiha brother wisely. However, Gai just continued without taking anything to consideration.

"So, Shani, how do feel about Gai-sensei?" questioned the mentioned person proudly to the little boy believing he was a great role model. When Shani finally made his dessert creamy and smooth –which was at least 10 seconds later- he turned to face Gai with his right eye not showing any admiration. "Well?"

The Forbidden child paused for a bit deliberately before moving his mouth. "Annoying," Shani said clearly causing everyone to stun. "Very, very, annoying." Gai felt that his pride was all washed up by a tidal wave. Naruto immediately laughed a dark chuckle at his son's honest response.

"Shani-chan's first words!" exclaimed the Hyuga heiress with raw delight, obviously she didn't even care what the words were since it was nothing insulting. "I am so proud! I can't believe you actually talked!"

"See, Hinata-san?" Gai shook out all his previous emotional wounds and shouted. "I told you I could make this kid talk!"

"Shut up." Shani ordered as he whipped his plate of mushy dessert right at Gai's face before making an audible splat. What utter humiliation! Itachi, Sasuke, Shikamaru, and more or less the guys laughed out loud, and the girls were trying very hard not to giggle. Although their hands were covering their faces, Kakashi knew the girls found it amazingly amusing. The children thought Gai was a clown who received deserving punishment for being a scary dumbass.

The only person that found it abusive was Lee, but even he knew when to stop when it came to Shani.

"That was mean…" commented the lazy jounin giving a yawn, "Who's going to clean up this mess?"

"Burn…" Ino said completely bewildered at Shani's choice of words. "He sounds just like Naruto." Immediately, the Hyuga girl gave off a glare to her husband for always talking so darkly in front of the kids. Naruto always argued that kids weren't that intelligent to pick up words when they didn't even know how to talk, there was no way they could learn this quickly. However, that would soon be proved wrong.

Shani's potty mouth was beyond expectations.

"I was insulted by a baby?" Gai inquired rhetorically as anime style tears was created a waterfall from his eyes. "I am shamed greatly!"

"Oh, how deliciously retarded looking," commented the small, little Death Knight suddenly, "Why are you still here, Gai? Don't you see that I can talk? I wanted to keep it as my secret when I am ready to share it with the world. Now, you just have to be an insolent bastard and annoy me to the top of my bent-"

"Shani-chan," Hinata stepped in promptly, "Don't say such things!" Naruto, on the other hand was indeed proud at his son, he was a natural at being a jackass. Sasuke liked Shani another notch, he hoped Kuroto would be just as strong as the Forbidden child. Overall, everyone was stunned at his behaviour.

"Whoah…" Ayame said totally bewildered, "I never knew Shani-chan could be so…"

"Insulting?"

"No, Itachi-chan… something else…" the ramen mistress pondered as she observed Shani with Asuran curling up in her arms. "He reminds me exactly of Naruto, you, Neji, Gaara, and Sasuke-kun. He is a good mixture of all of them combined." She emitted a giggle as Asuran cooed. Itachi did not like find it too amusing when he figured out Shani's traits came from all the cold people. He wondered who Kagari represented, hopefully the comparisons would be a whole lot brighter.

From once a happy reunion, and with a few words escaping from a baby's lips, the entire scenario became extremely awkward and uncomfortable.

(One year later)

Just when Hinata believed that his son was all too similar to Naruto in almost every possible way, her fears came to reality when the night Shani turned three. That night was when Forbidden appeared in Shani's dreams and met the formidable Death Knight personally. Although Hinata and Naruto did not truly know what Forbidden said to Shani, but the very next morning was when the little boy carried the chakra scythe in a fashion no different from a grimreaper looking for death where as Kagari shined through the light and loved everyone.

Unlike Naruto, his son was a complete Death Knight where his emotions were considered useless things in his mind. If Kagari was never there to be with him to keep his humanity in check, Shani would be the ideal killing machine, and it wasn't like he wasn't considered to be one of Konoha's secret weapons. Although no one knew, Hinata clearly knew her children would be valued even higher than the Hyuga clan for demonic energies must be kept hidden and away from the evils of the universe.

Although they were a demonic family –where none of them contained pure human blood in their veins-, no one knew what kind of future it would hold for any of them. Regardless of the circumstances, unity became their strength. With no demon for Kagari, but a devious one within Shani, Naruto was deeply concerned about both of them. One of them may not be as powerful when predators do want her blood, yet the other one was evidently unpredictable as he was dangerous.

Luckily, life for the Uzumakis were smooth where kami-sama continued to bless their family with hope and light –despite Shani's darkness continued to grow each day. Hinata tried very hard to be the best mother she could be, and Kagari just loved her brother too much to simply not care about him. Surprisingly, Naruto was not too concerned knowing that he went through the same thing, but his wife continued to remind him that in spite Shani was like him (and Kagari like herself, Sakura, and Rin), his son and daughter were not fully them. They have their own thoughts, own opinions, and most importantly, different minds. In the end, Naruto was quite cautious at his children's developments.

Life was still normal for everyone… until one day when everything was starting to take a turn –despite it was for better or for worse. No one knew what kind of outcomes there would be, they just chose to advance slowly. The changes were slow, nearly unnoticeable until it became undeniable. These events all happened when Uzumaki Shani, and Uzumaki Kagari, were at the age of seven…

Second part end.

AN: Thank you all so much for your consistency to keep up with so many chapters, and also your patience… I must give you all my gratitude and thanks. This story would not have survived without your help. With this transitional chapter here, DFL3 would be much more easier to read. Hope you all enjoyed reading the second part of the trilogy, it was a blast writing it! Now that it's finished, the last saga awaits you all. I just wish I could finish it sooner before I no longer have the time for fan fictions.

This is truly the end…
