Epilogue

Sakura gazed at the village while sitting near the balcony of her house. She was now twenty-five years old, her pink hair had grown, and she had tied her hair in a ponytail. She now had bangs which covered her forehead. She was carrying her six month old baby in her arms. She looked at her baby lovingly; i wonder when he will come. She thought. She was waiting impatiently for the arrival of her child's Father. "My little Riken." She softly cradled the baby. She then remembered the day Sasuke, her childhood crush captured her, and how throbbing it had been when he deserted her after he got the information he obtained.

But she had faith that she would meet him one day, and that day came during the Fourth Shinobi World War, when everything was at its worst, he had joined her and Naruto at defeating the monster. Even though he wanted to become Hokage, he finally gave in to Naruto, placing his trust on to the ninja, believing that he would be capable of attaining true peace unto Konoha.

But life wasn't that easy for them, Sasuke and Naruto had that duel that they so long had waited, Sakura tried to shake away the thought. it was too painful to think about it now. What matters was now that it was over, and both survived. Naruto had married Hinata after becoming Hokage, she beamed. Thank god he finally opened his eyes. Ino married Shikamaru and they both had a girl who was four. Tenten after grieving for her love, Neji, finally opened up her heart to someone else, Sai. According to her best friend Ino, They both were now dating.

She was so lost at her own thoughts that she hardly heard the door to her house turning. She stood up and made her way inside her bedroom, her parents were at a meeting now. She and her son stayed inside her parents' home till he returned. She went inside the bedroom to put him in the cradle. And decided to get a rest for a moment, she desperately wanted to get rid of her stresses of him. I should stay positive. She thought. Someone knocked on her window. She jumped up in surprise. He finally came. Her heart thumped fast. As she immediately went and opened the glass door that leads to the balcony.

It was Rock lee. Sakura's desperate eyes went to immediate shock, and then she smiled warmly. "lee-san, what brings you here?"

Rock lee smiled apologetically, "Sorry for not going by the front door, because it was locked."

She smiled, "It's okay." While wondering if she indeed locked the door or not.

"I came here to tell you about the meeting with all the Jounins. It will start tomorrow morning." He told, "Would you be able to attend the meeting, Sakura-san?" indicating her infant.

"I would be happy to attend; If Riken is okay with it." She told this by looking at her baby which slept in peace. Rock lee nodded, "Okay, See you soon Sakura-san." With that he left.

She watched him leave as he jumped from the balcony, and something stroked her, wait, I could have sworn I did not lock the front door. She widened her eyes, as she turned around. Could it be?!

A tall figure stood beside the cradle, who wore a black cloak and had spiky dark hair at the back of his head. She could not mistake him for anything, she felt tear rolling on her cheeks at that instant, it was tears of happiness, Of relief.

"He have the same hair I have got." He lovingly patted his son's dark hair, Sakura came towards him, and gazed at the baby, "yes, same dark onyx eyes as yours, he inherited them from you. Sasuke-kun"

He gave her a sentimental look at that instant, and then walked towards the balcony. Sakura followed him, with a worried look on her face. "Is something the matter, honey?"

He reddened at the word "honey", despite that he did not seem to mind, if they were alone and nobody was around. "I still think about those times where I fought with you Sakura." He avoided looking at her face; he could not bear to see it due to his growing shame. He had hurt her countless times without remorse during those days when he was obsessed with vengeance. He still could not believe that she had overlooked all that, that she could smile through it, and that she even had the strength to forgive him.

Sakura shook her head, "Sasuke-kun, look at me," she turned his face towards her. "What matters is I am still here, aren't I? And we managed to create a better future." She then recalled his earlier words. "What matters is not the past, but the future isn't it?" he remembered those familiar words he told her before. His eyes grew soft as he grabbed her by the shoulders, and embraced her in a hug. She closed her eyes, as she wrapped her arms on his back. "I love you no matter what Sasuke-kun. Nothing could change that."

He closed his eyes. "I love you too Sakura." They kissed after that, in passion and desire after being away from each other for five months. After that, they went inside the bedroom, "we are going back to my mansion tomorrow morning, Sakura"

"B...But, Sasuke-kun, we have to go to a meeting, that is if I can get a baby sitter.."

"The meeting can wait..." As they both laid on the bed. He gave her a devilish smile. As he pulled her towards him, she blushed a beet red.


Naruto went inside his house after finishing his Hokage duties for the day. He opened the door to a bubbly Hinata. He grinned at his wife, wondering what made her so cheerful.

"Naruto-kun, I am pregnant!" The blue haired woman cried in happiness.

He gaped, lost for words. "Hinata." he widened his eyes, "Really?" his mouth was wide open. She is pregnant? For real? Is this a dream? He laughed excitedly as he went and took her in his arms. "My wife is pregnant. We are finally gonna have a kid!" she smiled warmly at him as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

Everything was now at peace in Konoha, for the time being.
