I wrote this in a whole day, so don't blame me if it's not good or whatever. I was inspired to write an epilogue due to a certain FanFic that's not related to Naruto. If you want, I could give you the title and the link to it. It's basically a high school fic, but you don't need to know what happened in the real anime. What inspired me was how well the epilogue for that fic was written, so I decided to write one myself. I hope you dudes and dudetts aren't disappointed, but all I can say is...
Enjoy;)
Mission Gone Wrong
By: Whipped Coffee
Epilogue—
It was exactly one month after the incident. Everyone had had a great time with each other, and was enjoying each other's companies.
"So, what do you want to do Sasuke-kun?" Sakura asked, as they sat at Ichiraku.
Sakura and Sasuke hooked up a week after they came back. Sasuke had spilled out his feelings for Sakura, even though it seems hard to believe. Sakura even fainted right after he told her that he liked her!
"Hn."
Though Sasuke was still a cold prodigy, his heart was melting down little by little every time he spent with Sakura. And he spent A LOT of time with her too.
"I'm full anyways. Let's meet up with the others!" Sakura said excitedly as she jumped off her seat.
Sakura couldn't believe that Sasuke actually liked her. It was a dream for her. Ino was right. She had thanked Ino a billion times when Sasuke and Sakura hooked up.
"Hn." Sasuke said, as he smiled a little at Sakura's hyperness. He got up himself, and followed Sakura.
-
"Neji, what do you think about this?" Tenten asked, holding a weapon in her hand.
Neji and Tenten had been together, for a month, as you know already. And they couldn't have been any happier. When Neji's fan girls saw Tenten holding hands with Neji, they were ready to skin her alive! But after they found out that they were together, they went on with their lives gloomily.
"Hn." Neji said, knowing that Tenten knew what he thought.
Neji introduced Tenten to the Hyuuga clan two weeks after they came back. At first Hiashi was outraged. There had been no marriage outside of the clan for generations. It was always incest, and Hiashi wanted to keep it that way. But it took another week of convincing from Hinata, Neji, and Hanabi (surprisingly) to get Hiashi to change his mind.
"Great! Now let's pay for this!" Tenten said, walking to the desk.
When Tenten met the Hyuuga clan, she was scared to death. She worried about how she would act, what she would wear, how she looked. And thankfully, she had friends like Sakura and Ino to take care of things like that. She also had Hinata to tell her what to wear to a formal dinner. She knew they wouldn't accept her, knowing fully well that the clan married inside it and no one from the outside would be allowed inside, but she was willing to try and change that. It took a couple of weeks for Hiashi to calm down and accept her. She also met lots of other Hyuugas, when she spent a whole day there. She also met Hanabi, before the dinner, and Hanabi liked her right away. Tenten would sometimes train with Hanabi too, and Hinata. Of course, she still trained with Neji, nevertheless 6 in the morning.
"Isn't your boyfriend suppose to pay for it? You know when I had a boyfriend, he would always pay for anything I buy." The lady at the counter said, winking at Tenten.
"She's right. You should pay for this!" Tenten said, grinning.
Neji sighed, and pulled out some money. "Happy?"
"Very." Tenten replied, smiling.
And Neji smiled back, as they started walking out of the store.
-
"Shikamaru, I see a flower!" Ino cried, pointing up at the sky.
Ino and Shikamaru, surprisingly, got along fine. Sure Ino would sometimes nag Shikamaru to do a thing or two, but it never really got into a big fight. Sometimes people would see them just laying there in the grass, and staring at the sky together. Others would see them in the Yamanaka flower shop, with Shikamaru helping out.
"And I see a pig…" Shikamaru said, pointing at a cloud.
Though Shikamaru still think Ino is troublesome, he does what she tells him to do. Well… sometimes. Shikamaru would always know what Ino is thinking, and does the stuff she tells him to do before she even yells at him to do it. But then again, he still uses the term, "Troublesome."
"Hey!" Ino protested, smacking him on the arm.
Ino became less of a nagger around Shikamaru after they came back. She yelled at him a little less, but still yelled at him nevertheless. They would tend to have arguments, but not always like they usually do. Ino would spend more time with Shikamaru that is when they don't have missions.
"Let's get going. I want to meet up with the others." Ino declared, standing up already.
Shikamaru followed what Ino did, and started walking back.
-
"Ne, Hinata-chan! What do you think of this??" Naruto asked, showing Hinata a light blue-ish kimono, with flower designs on the side.
Naruto and Hinata were inseparable after they came back. Naruto was always following Hinata around, or vice-versa. The only time you would see them apart is when they go home or when they're on missions and with their other friends. Hinata had introduced Naruto to the Hyuuga clan a few days after they accepted Tenten. And boy, were they outraged by that act, too.
"It's nice." Hinata replied, admiring the kimono.
Hinata had gathered her courage and became more confident in herself. Hiashi was a little bit surprised at this too, but didn't show it. Hinata now had more potential in doing everything. When Hinata introduced Naruto to the clan, they were outraged, like they were when Neji introduced Tenten. The Hyuuga clan immediately said no to Naruto, and decided that was final. It also took a lot of persuasion too, and even Neji helped! Neji said that Naruto DID defeated him, and he also said that that showed that Naruto was stronger than he is. It took quite a while to persuade them, and even now they're not sure if they should welcome Naruto or not.
"I think this would look great on you!" Naruto said, flashing a smile at Hinata.
Naruto was still the same old Naruto. He hadn't change a bit, but he was happier now that he's with Hinata. He did everything he could to impress the Hyuuga clan. He even almost gave up once when they had said no, over and over again. But luckily, Neji and Tenten were there to knock some sense into him.
"Really…?" Hinata asked, not sure if she should buy it or not.
"Yup! I'll pay for it too! I've been saving up my money and trying not to spend it all on ramen!" Naruto said, running up to the cashier.
He paid for everything, took Hinata's hand and left the store. "Let's go to the others, ne?" Naruto asked.
Hinata just smiled and nodded her head.
-
"Tenten!!" Sakura shouted, throwing her arms over Tenten, as if she hadn't seen her for over a year.
"Hi to you too, Sakura!" Tenten said, laughing.
"And I don't get a hug?" Ino inquired, with her hands on her hips and her left hand holding on to Shikamaru's hand.
Sakura brightened up at her voice, while throwing her arms around Ino.
"Hinata!" Tenten said, hugging the Hyuuga Heiress.
"Hi Tenten-chan." Hinata said, giving Tenten a hug back.
The guys greeted each other normally, as if they'd only seen each other yesterday.
"It's been soo long!" Sakura said.
"Sakura… It was only like… 2 weeks since we last seen each other?" Tenten said,
"I know, but the missions, and not seeing each other—"
"We get it, Sakura. We were too busy to see each other." Ino said.
"It is nice seeing you guys again." Hinata said, smiling.
"It's so nice to hear your normal voice Hinata! Tell me, what did Naruto do to you?" Ino asked, winking at her.
Hinata blushed. "He didn't do anything!" She protested.
"Calm down, Hinata, I was just joking!" Ino said, giggling.
"Don't pick on Hinata, look at yourself! Turned into a cloud watcher too, right Ino?" Sakura asked, grinning.
Ino blushed at that comment. "Well, what about you and Sasuke?"
"What about us? We were having a great time!"
"Break it up guys. We don't need another fight just when we see each other." Tenten said, coming in-between them.
"And how is it with you, Tenten-chan?" Hinata asked.
"Well…" Tenten started, blushing.
"OH MY GOD!" Sakura yelled, taking it the wrong way.
"NO! Not like that!!" Tenten yelled too.
"Oh good!!" Ino said, relieved for herself more than Tenten.
"What's with all the shouting?" Shikamaru asked, coming over to the girls with the rest of the guys following behind.
"Oh nothing!!" Sakura said quickly, but then turned to Neji. "You didn't do anything to Tenten, did you? Cause if you did, I swear-!"
Sasuke quickly pulled Sakura back and whispered something in her ear, which she blushed at. "You don't really mean it… do you?!" Sakura asked Sasuke.
And Sasuke just smirked.
"I do NOT want to know what that is about." Tenten muttered to Neji.
Naruto nodded in agreement.
"I wonder how Tsunade-sama paid back the debt." Sakura spoke up, changing the subject.
A few of them looked at her like she was crazy.
"What debt?" Naruto asked.
"I overheard her talking to Shizune that they were betting on us about who got together first. Tsunade-sama lost all the money to Jiraiya-sama." Sakura explained.
"Is that why we've been having extra missions lately?" Ino asked.
"Probably." Shikamaru answered.
"But that's not gonna be enough, right? I heard it was a large amount of money, and on top of that there was her last gambling debt too." Tenten said, leaning on the same wall Neji was leaning on.
"Well… I wonder how she's gonna pay everything off." Hinata said, her eyes wondering over to a TV.
"Ever wonder what may happen when you put 12 Konoha ninjas on a mountain? Wanna see them go wild? And what happens when everything goes wrong? This show will have all the answers to the questions that you have! Mission Gone Wrong, opening tomorrow!"
The rest of the group twitched at the TV's message.
"Starring… The Uchiha Prodigy, Uchiha Sasuke!" A short video of Sasuke tied to a tree trunk flashed. He was saying, "'Dobe's idea…'"
"The Number One Hyperactive Knucklehead Ninja, Uzumaki Naruto! 'Let's get outta here before we're caught…'" A short video of Naruto in the bushes, crawling around came up.
A short video of Sakura looking up at the sky, "'It looks like it's gonna rain…' Tsunade's very own student, Haruno Sakura!"
"The Hyuuga Heiress, Hyuuga Hinata! 'I have a feeling… we forgot something…'" A short video of Hinata in the cabin flashed up.
"The Matchmaker of the show, Inuzuka Kiba!!" A short video of Kiba flashed up from when he was outside, talking with Shino. "'So have you sent a bug to them?'"
"The Silent Partner, Aburame Shino!!" A short video of Shino in the house, with Ino running around in the background, showed up. "'SPIT OUT MY BUG!'"
"The Lazy one in the house, Nara Shikamaru!!" A short video of Shikamaru tied to the trunk flashed up. "'How troublesome… to get beaten by a bunch of girls…'"
"Yamanaka Ino, the one who overreacts when there's no bathroom!" A short video of Ino's shocked face flashed up, saying, "'You. Have got. To be. Kidding. Me.'"
"The Very Lost One there, Akimichi Chouji!!" A short video of Chouji on the ground, fiddling with ramen came up. "'What is a ramen doing here…?'"
"The Hyuuga Prodigy we all know and love, Hyuuga Neji!!" A short video of Neji, arms crossed with a serious face came up. "'Your idea of fun is eating ramen.'"
"Under Maito Gai's training, Rock Lee!!" A short video of Lee's confused face came up. "'H-how'd? W-what'd? W-when'd?'"
"And lastly but not least, our very own Weapons Mistress, Tenten!!" A short video of Tenten smiling sheepishly came up. "'Heh… We forgot that you were still out here…"
"And now you know our characters! And we'll show more, tomorrow!! Stay tuned if you want to find out what happens, or, if you just want to laugh at these poor, pathetic ninjas!"
The preview of the show came to an end, and left the group twitching their eye out. Only one word can express their anger…
"TSUNADE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Finally complete,
The End(:
