Epilogue
Thirty-three years after the Fourth Great Ninja War, and Naruto was finally at peace.
Hinata was crying in the arms of Uzumaki Harue, her eldest son and alongside him was his twin brother, Uzumaki Zenjiro. Behind her were her middle kids, Uzumaki Aneko, and her twin sister Uzumaki Kana, her youngest children Uzumaki Yudai and his twin sister, Uzumaki Miu were saying Good-bye to their father, Uzumaki-Namikaze Naruto, the Rokudaime Hokage and savor of the world.
Hyuuga Hinata had been the person Naruto had depended to get back on his feet, she had been his support and his strength to be able to look ahead and keep fighting. She had given him the power to keep living even after Itachi died once more. The blond had been thankful for her help, and he had developed feeling for her, but they were never a match for his love towards the Uchiha. Hinata understood this, but even as the years passed, she understood his pain and tried to take as much as she could away.
The greatest Hokage in history was now being buried at the age of 50, by his three sons, and three daughters along his wife, Uzumaki-Hyuuga Hinata. The vessel had married her when Naruto turned 18, and a few months later Hinata had been given the knowledge that she was pregnant. The two had been delighted, and they were in for a surprised when Harue and Zenjiro were born, Tsunade had said that the Hyuuga had probably inherited her grandmother's genes to birth twins.
A few years later, both Aneko and Kana had been born and lastly Yudai and Miu were born. As they grew up, the two noticed that the first twins were full Uzumaki while later on receiving all the qualities of the 'body' and its potential. On the other hand, Aneko ad Kana showed the heritage of the Namikaze, which was later found out that were a branch family of the Senju. Yudai was the heir of the Hyuuga clan and has had the greatest Byakugan than even Neji.
And lastly, Mui had been a surprised all together, she had somehow inherited the Sharingan that had surpassed Sasuke's and Itachi's, but when the question came to hand everyone thought it had been Sasuke. That had been quickly thrown away, since she was Yudai's twin and she had resembled Kushina quite a bit. When the blond had asked Kyuubi if he had any idea of how that had happened, he had just said, figure it out, you stupid Six Paths, and gone to sleep.
Apparently, Itachi's last gift had been nothing but the awakening of his true bloodline, the mixed bloods of the Namikaze, Senju, Uzumaki, and somehow Hyuuga had all been stored in Naruto. One of Kushina's ancestors had married a Hyuuga, and the blood was mixed with the Uzumaki's. The same thing happened to the Namikaze, the Senju had married one and the bloods had mixed. When Minato and Kushiha had mated, all four bloods had mixed, thus bringing back the Sage of Six Paths; Uchiha Itachi had only been the key to awaken them all.
After the twins, Yudai and Mui had been born, the two had agreed that the kids they had were enough to rebuild the fallen clans. Naruto had made a clan resurrection law, which has help with the building for the Uzumaki, Senju, Namikaze and Uchiha clans. Sasuke had taken advantage of this law, and had five wives with two to three children with each.
When the Uchiha had regain consciousness after the battle, he had been told everything by Naruto. The Uchiha had to listen since Naruto had spoken with the Rinnegan activated and he had sealed the Eternal Sharingan he had come to posses, even now, after 33 years, those eyes are sleeping. He had been given a deal he could not refuse, the lives of the two other counseling for the peace between Uchiha and Konaha.
Naruto had made it clear that even if he didn't accept, there would be no escape from the other Nations. With his Sharingan seal and with no nation to back him up, he had no more choice than to accept that deal. Of course Naruto had kept his promise, a few years after, when both counselors were on their last moments of life, but Sasuke still killed them. The Uchiha clan was slowly growing, Mui had married Sasuke's oldest and most powerful son, Uchiha Denji.
Sakura never got a chance with Sasuke, he had chosen girls that didn't graduate with him and who were strong. Ino had married Sai, they were happy and the two were the worst team gossip ever know. Sakura never married anyone and she took after Tsunade as the Legendary Sucker. Naruto was also known as the Golden Fox, not for his hair of for the demon inside, but because he had great Gambling Luck that had been passed down to his kids.
Kana being the most gifted with any kind of game, she also inherited Hinata's calm and gentle nature, but when messed with she was the fearsome prankster that as at par with her father, only because he loved doing them with her. Aneko had been taught by Yamato since she inherited the Wood element chakra and apparently the ability to control Bijus. Harue became the next seal master, new possessor of the Rinnegan and the greatest only second to his father. Zenjiro was known all around the Element Nations for his gift with Kenjutsu and Nintaijutsu, feared among the new Seven swordsmen and A.
All in all, Uzumaki-Namikaze Naruto had lived a great life, even with the absence of his love, he had made it through and got to know the fist kids of his children. He was able to experience the feeling of family and what it meant to truly be needed. He had passed his hat down to his first son, since he had been the one to learn most from him. Harue and Zenjito both were head of the Uzumaki clan, Aneko the head of the Senju and Kana the head of the Namikaze. Yudai the head of the Hyuuga, and Mui the wife of the head of the Uchiha clan, yet she had as much power as Denji did.
Uchiha-Uzumaki Mui was a very special woman. She, just like her mother was a twin mother, and the first woman to ever show sign of the Sharingan. She was confident and peaceful, gentle and cheerful, and hated violence no matter what. She was very much like Naruto and Hinata, but she took more after Itachi's attitude than anyone else. Naruto never knew why though, he never thought that something like that would be possible, but even Sasuke had told him that.
He had given the two gifts Itachi had left him to her, the Totsuka Sword, and the Yata Mirror. They had discovered that she was the only one able to keep her eyes, even with the Mangekyo Sharingan, after she developed it after a mission where her teammate had died in. She never got the blindness effect, and she was able to use all of Itachi's techniques. The blond had wondered if it had something to do with her Senju and Uzumaki genes, after all, all of his kids got some of each gene of all four families. So they were not the perfect being like he was, but close to it.
When Harue had turned 25, Naruto had resign and named his son the Seventh Hokage, and if anything were to happen, the title would go to Zenjiro or Aneko. Naruto had given Kyuubi to Harue's first boy, Uzumaki Itachi. The man never knew where his son had come up with the name, but he hadn't questioned it in the least. He had been the first to carry Itachi after his parents, and he had cried with happiness and relief.
On this day, June ninth, Uzumaki-Namikaze Naruto, Rokudaie Hokage, Godlen Fox, Savor of the World, Sage of Six Path, Toad Sage, and father of six great ninja, was put to rest by his father's and mother's side. A red flame was made for his memory and places a few feet away from his father's. Hinata please a white rose over his memory, and for the last time, she told him "I love you, Naruto-kun," in her sweet voice. The rookie nine, the three before them and the fifth Kazekage along with his family were present for the death of the man that changed the world.
All nations had united on this day to say Good-bye to the hero of the century, and hope he finds happiness in the afterworld. Kirabi was still living, but he knew his time would almost be up, so he had been training his son to be the next host. The muscular man had married after the war was over, when he found a lovely Suna ninja to mate with, according to Hachibi, she had been the mate he had been waiting for.
Gaara met an Iwa Kunoichi that was able to give him what all his life was empty from. Temari and Shikamaru got married, and have two kids and currently living in Konaha. Kankuro hooked up with Ten-Ten and are very happy together in Suna. The Rookie nine are mostly happy and with someone by their side, and as for Kakashi, he became the godfather of all of Naruto's kids. He really never found anyone and he was very lucky to still be living after all this time.
The group of ninja of all nations wore black on this day, tears and sadness was in the air, as a great man passed on. Families were together as one, the Uzumaki, Senju, Hyuuga, Namikaze and Uchiha as the main and most powerful group. All wishing he could have stayed, but the blond had said it was time to go. The night before, he sealed Kyuubi within Uzumaki Itachi, at the age seven. He had been training the genius boy, and had helped Kyuubi and Itachi bond as friends and allies.
Blue eyes watched over the scene with a sad smile, the kids were all crying and Hinata mourning broke his heart. Arms wrapped around him protectively, and a nose buried in the crook of his neck. The man sighed happily and tilted his head sideways to give them more space.
"Are you sure it was time to leave?" the silky voice asked from behind, a smile adoring his lips.
"Yes, it was time my love. They were ready for my departure, and you have been waiting far too long" the happy voice of a teen said.
"Aren't you going to say it?" the man asked softly.
"Say what? Happy birthday? I missed you? I love you?" the younger asked turning around to face his love.
Dark gray eyes met cerulean after years, "You know what I mean, my kitsune," Uchiha Itachi said leaning in.
"Oh? And that would be?" Uzumaki-Namikaze Naruto asked.
"My love…" Itachi kissed the seventeen year old teen. Naruto kissed back softly, savoring the lips he missed for more than three decades.
"Now I remember," the blond said after they separated. Itachi looked at him in the eyes with love.
"Yes?" he asked waiting, the blond grin happily.
"I'm home" he said before kissing the man once more.
"Welcome back, my love" Itachi replied against his lips.
"Together again" Itachi said.
"Forever and more, my love" the blond nuzzled his nose on the crook of his raven.
This time, it was really forever. No matter what fate and destiny threw their way, once one of them were reborn, the other would follow thanks the Red Thread connecting by their ankles. Connecting them through time and space, never to be separated again.
Their love will continue, now and forever more.
