As the lava flowed freely riding along the surface of the ground, steam rise to the air. The view watched by Naruto and Shion left the temple behind.

"So I guess your duty as a priestess is over, ne??" Naruto asks

Shion shakes her head "no, my job and duty as priestess must continue should Mouryou return again, someone has to be around to stop him."

He nodded in acknowledgment.

"I cannot blame things on fate or destiny any more I have to follow what my heart tells me. And being a priestess is my duty that is what my heart says."

Naruto smiles, closes his eyes, and places his hands behind his head as the rising sun seems to warm his face.

"You know Naruto I'm not going to live forever and there is going to need to be a second and possibly third generation of priestess to learn these things. What do you say you wanna help me?"

Cracking open his left eyes to look at her "sure Shion I'll do anything to help." He says without thinking.

The gang behind the two all stared at what Shion had proposed and that Naruto accepted without thinking.

With Sakura fuming, Kakashi and lee utterly astonished beyond words you would think that this story would end just like that.

AN: Through the miracle of fan fiction that is going to change. This story till feature either a Naru/OC or naru/OC/saku pairing

I hope you enjoy and I recommend the viewing of the shippuden movie before reading,
