So… this is the last chap. I'm finally done. Hopefully I answered most of your questions in the previous chapters, and if not, I'm sorry. I'm not much of a drama story teller, but I got this out while having some love problems so that's how this was made.

Anyway, if you hate it now, then the least I can do is thank you for having supported it until you didn't. Or, I can thank you for having supported and loved it.

My Naruto x Sakura project will be placed on hold for the moment as I have a few plot bunnies I have to write meaning back to the harems for them, but I may discontinue them. They are just plot bunnies, so they aren't my main story… or stories.

Speaking of which, I wrote myself into a mind block in my Toying With Death. Can anyone help via review? Like, maybe I should restart it over with a newer concept this time? Or maybe rewrite the last chapter… or just finish it as it is, a cliffhanger where you guys can think of what happened after?

That aside, onto the final chap.

WARNING: Major time skip.

(Finding Love)

"Naruto-san, mind telling us why you chose Ino-san over here as your wife? Let me be clearer, why did you even consider her after Sai?"

The two blondes just laughed at it. Ino gave the answer. "Sai was my boyfriend. Nothing more."

"No, sir, ma'am, what I mean is, why did he choose you after knowing you and Sai slept together?"

That caused Ino to blink before laughing. She calmed down after seeing Naruto look at her with… an odd gaze. She sighs before answering. "Look, I dated Sai. I never slept with him. Or rather, not sexually. Plus, the only times I slept with him was when I was on missions with him just outside the village walls, and even then we kept our relationship professional." She then looks at Naruto and frowns seeing he was not convinced. She then mouthed him "later" before she hugged his arm.

"Very well, Yamanaka-san, why Naruto knowing he could have already lost his virginity in ANBU?"

It was Ino's turn to look at Naruto and what she saw in his eyes crushed her.

"I shall answer that question." Naruto said as he steps forward. "I did indeed perform seduction missions." He sighs as he looks at Ino. "However, I only went as far as foreplay before managing to complete my mission. All these missions where assassinations of female Kunoichi so posing as a civilian wasn't hard."

The two then left, having answered the questions asked to the other.

When they arrived back in Naruto's apartment, Ino spoke. "I swear I didn't."

Naruto smiles a small smile and replies, "I know."

"Then why did you have that—"

"I was sad when I heard that question Ino because I knew I was next." Naruto answers immediately after figuring out the rest of the incomplete question. "You can leave if you want… I guess we had a good run if you—" He was cut off with a kiss.

Ino pulled back with a frown at him. "Idiot… as much as I hate to admit it, you had every right to do it."

Naruto shakes his head. "No… I didn't. I don't have the right to have sex with anyone just because a mission is seduction and assassination. More so when it's to get revenge for your relationship with Sai… After all, a good mentor of mine in ANBU, before passing away taught me something…"

"And that is?"

"If someone wronged you, be the better and prove to them the power of your soul." Naruto says as he looks to the ceiling. His tone reminiscent.

Naruto stood over a grave.

"Ino Yamanaka"

The man's grey hair betrayed his physique as he could still level a building with a normal palm thrust. His wife had died peacefully, his Uzumaki longevity being partly a curse of why he was still alive even after being over a hundred years old now.

"Madara… let's give your mother some space now." Naruto said as he turned to walk away.

Madara, Naruto's eldest son and child, nodded in acceptance. "Father, do you mind at least telling me why I was given this name? Mother always told me it was your idea."

Naruto stops and smiles. "It's because Madara was in truth a kind man. I told you my stories, and how Zetsu started it all. Were it not for him, Madara would have been Hokage."

"But father, why not Itachi?"

Naruto chuckles before continuing his stride. His son following him to hear his answer. "Itachi has earned his rest. Madara… well, in my time it was a name to be feared. I pray that you will change that, and make it a name to be looked upon for protection." He then looks to the sky and smiles as it starts to rain. "Madara… do tell your sisters to visit us some time."

"Of course, but Erza is currently on a mission with her little Genin, while Lucy is… well, being Lucy."

Naruto chuckles before nodding. "Well… at least tell them to see me one last time. It's almost my time to go, and you may experience the same thing with Hanabi-chan as I did when your mother passed."

Madara laughs before nodding. "I still can't believe Hanabi fell for me though."

Naruto stops.

Madara looks at Naruto with worry on his face. "Father?" No response. "Pa?"

Naruto gives a small smile as the rain hides his tears. His words whispered, but the wind still caught it.

"Yeah… I still can't believe Ino fell for someone like me."

(END)

So… that's it. The next "Chapter" is just really a thank you note to those who have supported this one way or another.

I liked the ending, but I feel like I could have delivered it better. Still, I'll let you guys fill in the gaps, although I plan to be more detailed in my next stories.
