Chapter 20-Living Our Lives
Disclaimer: Do Not Owe Naruto!

notes: amazing! I never knew that this story is going to have exactly 20 chapters when I first started it! Nor it would be my 2nd story with the most reviews so far! The final chapter you've been waiting for has finally arrive! I couldn't wait any longer since I want to start on the sequel right away. Anyways, here it is...

Months had passed ever since Konoha had found their new Hokage. Jiraiya had been writing his books along with researching his data, Naruto had been going off onto missions as the one's Kakashi preferred him to go, Sakura had been training under Shizune but is also taking missions but usually with Naruto, the rookie nine along with team Gai's has been on mission's as well.

Nobody had heard from Sasuke once everyone in the rookie nine as well as team Gai's found out that Sasuke had left Konoha. The girls had blamed Naruto in the first place for making him leave, but he assured them along with Kakashi's help, it was the best for Sasuke since Konoha held bad memories for him and he wished it was gone.

A lot of people in the village had been visiting the memorial stone now and then ever since Tsunade had died. Konohamaru was still depressed still ever since his grandfather died but he knew that Tsunade had died by protecting her people as the same as his grandfather did, at the very end, Konohamaru gave her respect even if it was too late.

One early evening, Naruto was preparing dinner for him and Kakashi since the two now lived together. Naruto blinked as he heard somebody knocked and thought it was Kakashi, he ran to opened it but saw it was just a messenger. "For me?" He asked as the messenger nodded, "who is it from?"

The messenger shrugged, "I just due my duty sir," he said as the messenger left and Naruto closed the door. He opened the enevelope and a piece of paper came out from it; he looked at it and gasped as it was from Sasuke. He was about to read it when he heard the door knocked again, he opened it and saw Kakashi standing their as Naruto hugged him tightly.

"It looked like you hadn't seen me in ages Naruto," Kakashi teased as Naruto laughed. "Well, I just gotten a letter from Sasuke just about now," he said as he waved the paper in front of his face, "oh? What does it say?" He asked as Naruto had begun to read.

Dear Naruto and Kakashi,

I've been living with Inori and his family here in The Village of the Mist. It's so peaceful and calm now that the bridge is build of course and the village had been doing great. Children around here especially Inori had been asking about you, Naruto. I just said that you were doing fine and that you'll be Hokage someday of Konoha.

I just recieved word a couple of days ago by Inori's grandfather that Kakashi was the new Hokage. Is that true? I never knew that he'll become Hokage since he reads those perverted books of Jiraiya's! How is the village anyway? Is everything under construction since the attack of Yondaime and Itachi?

I hadn't seen Itachi since that day and even if I do see him, I'll defeat him for sure if he attacks this peaceful village. I sent a letter to Sakura at the same time as this, so she should be getting one at the same time as yours. By the way Naruto, is Ichiraku still their since the attack?

I missed Ichiraku even though we have ramen here but it still isn't the same with that old man and his daughter running it. I am still determind to become strong and someday beat you in battle Naruto. Along with Neji Hyuuga, Rock Lee, Gaara, and many more ninja's that I hadn't encountered yet.

Hopefully your training is going smoothly with Jiraiya, Naruto. I still can't understand how can you understand the guy who writes perverted books! I mean, some of the man in this village actually reads this stuff as well! Can you believe that? I swear Naruto, you should fight Jiraiya one day and take away his pervert books.

I've been also helping Inori's mother around the house while I wasn't training. It was like, having my own family back again but it still wasn't the same. Sakura sent me a letter awhile back also since she's been crying since the day that I left. But seriously Naruto, is Sakura actually dating Neji?

I thought Sakura liked Lee! What's going on here? Give me details man! Well, I wish her happiness as I said to her letter. As well as yours and Kakashi's. Hey, if you two ever get married, sent me an invite because I'm not missing this! I met this cute girl at the village also by the way, she isn't like any of the girls in Konoha who are my fan club.

But I don't think it's going to work out. There's no chemistry between us. Anyways, that's all I have to say. I wish you all well and I'll be back as soon as possible once my memories of Konoha are gone with the bad and once I get stronger. You too! Get stronger Naruto so we can fight once we get back!

-Always your friend,

Sasuke Uchiha.

"So Sasuke's actually doing well," Kakashi commented as the two were sitting at the table drinking tea as the sun had went down and it was already night. "I miss him though," Naruto said quietly as Kakashi nodded, "understandable. You two were like brothers even with your rivalry. It was the same thing as me and Obito was."

"Obito Uchiha right?" Naruto asked as Kakashi nodded slowly, "I'm sure Sasuke we'll come back and you two will make another racket in this village again," he said smiling as Naruto smirked. "If we do, then what are you going to do to us Hokage?" He asked with a playful smile.

Kakashi shrugged as he smiled and looked up, "I'm not sure. Perhaps help in the farms or help at the stores for a few weeks without doing missions," he said as Naruto gaped at him. "With-without missions? Are you nuts?" He asked as Kakashi chuckled, "well, whenever that day comes, I'm sure it will be exciting with Sasuke back," he said as he stood up and kissed Naruto passionately.

Finally, their was peace and quiet in Konoha for the time being, unaware of what was going to happen later in the future.
