Wow, it's been so long, and yet you guys haven't changed a single bit. Well I've decided to try to finish off this story for all yall.

I don't own Naruto, but neither do you. HAHA.

Sorry about how short it is, but this is the last chapter, and I hope you like the ending.

Outside the Akatsuki compound

"Are we all ready?" Jiraiya yelled atop the massive Gamabunta. It was zero hour and this was their only chance to get Naruto back. There was electricity in the air, you would know something was about to go down.

The small crowd below replied with a thundering battle cry. Before anyone knew it, the fight had begun. People were exchanging blows, there was birds falling from the sky, explosions going off every second, and enormous gust of wind ripping through everything.

But over all of the noise and commotion, there was one resounding voice, " Oi, Temari, over here." Temari jerked her head around and could see her beloved standing there in all his glory. She started to run towards him, but Itachi snuck up behind him and struck him in the neck, knocking the blonde boy unconscious, and carrying him away.

"Naruto!" The girl called as she began to chase after him. 'I mustn't let him get away again' she thought.

Five minutes later in the basement of the compound

"Naruto!" The boy heard his name, as he shook awake. "What the?" He said as he bounced up and down on the shoulders of Itachi. "Kiya" The boy yelled as he kneed the sharingan wielder in the face, escaping his grasp, flipping through the air and landing on his feet. "Finally, it's you and me, no tricks, no bullshit." The blonde stated as he fell into fighting position.

"I really didn't want to kill you." The Uchiha stated as he pulled out a kunai. The demon carrier charged at his opponent, summoning five clones. Then Itachi heard footsteps running in their direction. "Maybe I don't have to." He said as a small smile appeared on his face. After flashing through a handful of seals the boy yelled "Henge no jutsu!" and transformed into the blonde facing him. Naruto stopped dead as all the Narutos continued fighting.

"Naruto!" The blonde girl yelled as she ran into the room seeing all of the boys fighting. In the end there was only two Narutos left throwing punches at each other. Then the Narutos both landed a punch right in the face of the other, sending them both to the ground.

"Temari" Both the boys yelled, "Get out of here before he comes after you!" 'Which one is the real Naruto?' She asked herself in her mind. She pulled out her fan as both boys yelled, "Temari, I'm the real Naruto, you have to believe me!" She couldn't decide which one was real. Then one Naruto threw a kunai at her and the other ran to her and grabbed the knife right out of the air, and landed in front of her panting. "See I told you I was the real Naruto." He then took her hand and pulled her into a deep, passionate kiss. Then she saw a flash of red in his eyes, but it was too late, as he appeared behind her with a kunai to her throat. "Origato, Shikamaru-san." Itachi said releasing the technique. "Now, Naruto, be a good little demon and come with me without a fight."

"Damn it, Shikamaru! This is ultimate betrayal!" The furious Naruto uttered. The blonde boy let out a sigh, and began, "Okay I'll…" but could not finish, for Itachi had just pushed Temari at him, and was pulling the knife above his head.

"What? What the hell? Shikamaru!" The Uchiha angrily yelled as he frantically looked around for a way to escape the technique. "YOU BASTARD!" He screamed as the knife came down, and slipped into his stomach. The boy fell to his knees as the black and red of the sharingan leaked from his eyes, and he fell to his side as the fatal wound gushed blood. Uchiha Itachi was dead.

Naruto pulled Temari into his warm embrace, and the girl started to cry tears of joy. She was more excited than you could believe to finally to have the one she loved back. "Ultimate betrayal, huh?" The Nara asked as he slipped the couple a smile.

"So why did you help us?" The fox-boy asked.

"I thought about what you told me the other night, and you were right. I could never love Temari as much as you. I also realized that a girl wasn't worth becoming a nukenin over."

Temari walked towards the shinobi and looked him right in the eye, and slapped him. When he looked at her, she leaned in and gave him a kiss on the cheek, and uttered a small word a thanks. He looked right in the eye, gave her a smile, and said, "Stop wasting time with me and go to your man." She let out a small chuckle, and followed his advice.

As they went back outside to the battleground, they found that they had won the fight against Akatsuki. They killed most of Akatsuki, and decided that they should just set up camp at the sight of the ruined compound. The next day they all headed back to Konoha. Because of his help with Itachi, Shikamaru was re-instated as a leaf ninja. A few years later, Naruto succeeded in his lifelong dream of becoming Hokage, and the next day Naruto and Temari tied the knot atop the Hokage monument. Exactly nine months after the honeymoon they had a child. Her name is Meril and she one day hopes to become the next Hokage.
