I've been out all day and finally get some time on the computer! Which also means I was able to upload quite a few pics from Kyoko's camera onto my computer which are now in the Photo Gallery of AizoAnime. Please check it out after the chapter!

So here's the end to Narutoverse no Jutsu! I can't believe its over now! Be sure to check back tomorrow for the sequel! I'd like to thank everyone who stuck with me till today, and thanks for the reviews for the last chapter! It means so much, knowing that people R&R this story! I feel like I've accomplished a decent Dropped-In-The-Narutoverse-type story that's usually slandered around FF. (Wipes away tears of joy) The "epilogue" is short and in bold, so I've also included an exerpt from the sequel (which I'll probably give a title at the last minute). So, if you'd rather skip the exerpt and wait for tomorrow, just keep scrolling after the bold ends! The whole thing is short overall, but enjoy anyway!

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.

Tsunade's theory was correct. The girls not only made it back to their own world, but back to the exact time and place where they had been before their adventure had happened: Kyoko's house.

The sky still had a bit of light, and the multiple pencils and pens they had used were still scattered around the table. The computer had the information page where they had looked up the hand signs for the "Narutoverse no Jutsu" and their half-eaten cups of ramen were still warm. Nothing had changed at all, and it had felt like fairytale close, like the ending from the "The Chronicles of Narnia". But it wasn't.

The girls hadn't saved Konohagakure from a terrible villain nor had they become leaders of the village. The only thing they had accomplished was being able to decrease the trouble that the village would've had if they stayed.

It still felt like some sort of strange fantasy that they had only dreamed up. It wouldn't have been surprising, considering Nami's usually abnormal-filled reveries and Kyoko's distant envisions. But what they found odd was that Midori, who could hardly remember dreams and barely had any "visions" remembered everything that happened.

The suspicions of their adventures being simple hallucinations were quickly discarded, especially after Kyoko discovered her info card in her pocket. Nami and Midori checked their own pockets, finding their makeshift cards as well. It was then they knew for sure; it was real.

Later on, there were many times when each of them had their moments of yearning to go back to the Narutoverse, especially Kyoko and Nami. Midori had the job of making sure none of them ever attempted to go back. She kept an eye on them, reminding them of the consequences, of how they wouldn't be able to get back easily, and, if necessary, confiscating their info card. If it came to that, they always got their card back in the end, for it was that simple index card that seemed to retain the memories of their lives in Konoha.

The weather outside was blistering cold with speeding winds, bulleting raindrops, and large waves splashing with every turn of a car. High school students were bustling into their classrooms to avoid getting too soaked. Among them was a trio formed since elementary school.

"Why, God? WHY?" Nami wailed, dropping to her knees and questioning the heavens. "Why did you make it rain on the day I have to ride ALL THE WAY HOME?!"

"Nami! You're getting drenched!" Midori called from under the awnings.

"What's the point?" Kyoko mumbled, adjusting her hood that hovered over her face, pale from the cold. "She's gonna get wet anyway. We'll be riding home today while you get to ride in your dad's nice, heated car. With butt-warmers."

Midori rolled her eyes. "Stop angsting over life and let's get to class."

The two girls dragged Nami out of the rain and into their first class, which wasn't any warmer than outside. In there, desks were cluttered and teenagers were doing their own things; gossiping, readying pranks, throwing paper airplanes, etc. The girls sat themselves in their lined places near the windows (Nami in the back, Midori in the front, and Kyoko in between).

A few minutes later, the bell rang, the teacher stood up, and class started. As the only adult in the room drawled on about what was going to be on the test in two days. Midori's eyes trailed to the window. She knew the teacher had been telling them what to study for weeks, and it was apparent that she and her group of friends would spend a study session at her house the day before the test. That was when they'd be spending all their time watching anime and discussing manga in the childish way they've been doing for years.

Midori blinked. She could've sworn she saw an odd-colored flash outside. Straining her sight, she leaned slightly towards the window, wondering if it had been a mere lightning bolt…or something else…

Thank you to all who R&R and Story Alerted, you'll have a special place in my heart always! Thank you to all who gave me constructive criticism that helped me from an okay first chapter to an imroved 49th (or 48th since this one was...well, short)! I couldn't have gotten better without you! And also, thank you to those of you who don't like this type of story and keep your thoughts to yourself so my self-esteem doesn't get crushed! Love to you all, and I hope I can read your reviews come next time!
