lostmoonchild: Thanks for the review and sorry if the chapter was confusing. My brain scrambles around when it comes to fights (seriously hate that) so if there's anything somebody doesn't understand about a chapter then let me know and I'll happily answer any questions. Here's the final chapter and I'll give you guys the information for "Unknown Bonds" at the end of the chapter. Enjoy!

Chapter Fifty Eight
He was so nervous; he didn't even think that he had been so scared in his life. No, wait, he had been even more terrified when he thought that he had lost his daughter four years ago. Now that his dream had finally become a reality, he was going to be damned if that nightmare had ever repeated.
He had no recollection of what had happened after the explosion but from what he had heard from those that had been there, Madara had lost control of Kyuubi once they had stepped into the carved area. Once the demon was loose, all the other demons took control long enough to attack the Uchiha and ultimately turned him into a midnight snack before Kyuubi had been sealed back inside of the blonde.
According Akina, he had died for about three minutes before Mizuko was able to get him going again by using Nibi's chakra to drag his soul back from wherever it had been. By the time he was breathing again and Kyuubi was safely tucked away inside of him again, every surviving shinobi that was still capable of moving was in the area trying to stop those that had already been there from losing too much blood.
It had taken a month before he had woken up and it had taken about two months before he even felt even close to being back to normal. Shortly after waking up, however, he discovered that his daughter was in a coma and the odds of her ever waking up again were slim to none.
Like any true Uzumaki, Naruto noted with pride, his daughter had surprised everyone after almost six months. Granted it took Sasuke a week to leave the hospital after she had woken up but the Uchiha had borne the child no ill will. He had been more or less relieved that people could stop sulking and blaming themselves for what had happened.
Although Naruto deeply suspected that Sasuke finally getting laid was helping out considerably. Every time he saw Mizuko, she seemed to be a lot calmer but then she'd start screaming and yelling at whoever called their attention to it. A couple months later, the two announced their engagement and Mizuko was quickly transferred over to Konoha.
After that night, everyone he knew seemed to suddenly get their priorities straightened out and it seemed as if every month there was someone getting married or discovering that they were pregnant. Then they all started having babies of their own and seeming to enjoy the family scene.
It had taken almost two years but he and Akina had officially tied the knot only to discover they were pregnant shortly after. Eight months later, they welcomed their first daughter together into the world with plans to one day have another when Kenji and Hisoka were about ready to graduate from the Academy.
Now two years later, the blonde couldn't have been happier. Kenji and Hisoka were both now growing eleven year olds and due to graduate that following year, his and Akina's daughter, Kushina, was a happy little girl, Akina was pregnant again with twin boys, and his dream of becoming Hokage was finally coming true. "You're staring again, Daddy." Hisoka said with a grin.
"Trying to figure out how everything worked out." Naruto said as he playfully pulled his daughter's long, multicolored hair.
Hisoka playfully swatted his hands away before smoothing out the colored strands and attempting to blend them back in with her dark hair. "With great difficulty. It's a very good thing we're all stubborn." Akina teased as she fixed Naruto's orange robes. "Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze, Konoha's Orange Hokage."
Naruto grinned brightly and looked outside as he heard Tsunade beginning to finish her speech. In a few short minutes, he and his family would step out and he'd be officially Konoha's Seventh Hokage. "Daddy, do you think Momma knew?" Hisoka questioned suddenly.
"Knew what?"
"That you'd be Hokage?"
If he looked out into the crowd, Naruto knew he wouldn't have been surprised if he saw Mishima watching with a smug look on her face. He didn't know how exactly, but he had the sneaking suspicion that she knew all along that he would become Hokage and that their daughter would be a Dark Temptation. "Probably. After all," he said with a grin as his name was called and he scooped up his youngest daughter, "she was always twenty steps ahead of everybody."
In a faraway cave, a single candle flickered as cold eyes peered around carefully. A russet-orange streak stood out against black hair as a young man in his mid-twenties slowly stretched his stiff muscles. Memories came flooding back to the man as he took several cautious steps towards the exit.
He had no knowledge of how much time had passed since the day he had been sealed away as if he were some kind of animal but he knew that he would get his revenge one way or another. After all, nobody could keep him away from what was rightfully his and he knew that there was no way possible anybody could ever hope to stop him. Before he could do anything, however, he needed to replenish his strength and come up with a way to destroy those that were marked for death.
But that's another story.
lostmoonchild: Yeah, I dunno why this chapter's on the short side but oh well. Last chapter, I'm not fighting it. Okay so let's get to the "Unknown Bonds" story information. As of now I'm expecting the story to be up in a month once I get all the kinks out of it and I'm expecting that it'll be rated T although I may end up having it up before a month is up so June 22 should be okay (I'll refuse to do it on June 15 since that's the first day of SoDak and I want to go) for the story's debut. I don't have a summary up yet but that'll be produced before too long. Anyway, thanks everybody for sticking with me through the story and I hope to see you guys with "Unknown Bonds" so read and review!
