Chapter 24: False Ending 5: The Children
All five girls had received the same strange invitation.
Come to Training Ground 5 at 9 pm on Saturday for the final selection.
-Temari
Perhaps it was curiosity or perhaps something deeper but none of them could resist the invitation.
……………………………………
That Saturday at 9pm Anko, Sakura, Hinata, Ino, and Tenten were all assembled at training ground number five.
Five minutes later Gaara arrived flanked by Temari and Kankurou. He looked at each one of the girls then turned to Temari.
"Why am I here, Temari?" Gaara asked calmly.
"Well to pick which one of these girls you want to continue to go out with."
"WHAT?" shouted the Konohan girls in unison. Gaara thought for a minute and then spoke.
"I choose Anko." Said Gaara
"I knew you'd make the right choice kid!" Anko shouted

25 YEARS LATER
Naruto had wanted to be Hokage but not like this. He was being named Hokage because he was one of the few ninjas left alive in Konoha. The other villages had been hit hard too, all except the Sand. The reason for all these deaths was an energetic but homicidal teenage girl named Sabaku no Kasumi. Naruto sat down with his top advisor, Shikamaru (Who had been too lazy to accept the Hokage position).
"So," Naruto began, "Who's left?"
"No one sir." Said Shikamaru checking his list.
"WHAT?"
"We have no ninjas left."
"What about Shino?" asked Naruto
"Kasumi thought he was too antisocial and killed him."
"Kiba?"
"Kasumi was jealous of his senses and killed him."
"Lee?"
"Kasumi said he was too hideous to live."
"We could call Jiraiya out of retirement." Naruto offered.
"Well sir, the less said about what happened to Jiraiya the better."
"Let me guess he was peeping on her?"
"No he wasn't. She took that as an insult and killed him, and then she killed the girls whom he was peeping on. Then she killed…"
"I get the picture." Naruto interrupted
"So what should we do?" asked Shikamaru
"The only thing we can."
"Which is?"
"Quit ninjaing and move into a safer business."
"Like what?"
"How about nuclear weaponry?"
………………………………………………..
And so thanks to Sabaku no Kasumi the ninja villages dissolved and the sense of impending doom which had been so widely felt was now no longer impending. It was there.
THAT'S HOW IT COULD HAVE HAPPENED
BUT HERE'S HOW IT REALLY HAPPENED…
Author's Note: Next Chapter is the End. The REAL ENDING! Also, Sorry for the delay. Finals suck, the next chapter will be up around the end of the month. Probably.
