Disclaimer & Author's Note: I do not own anything Naruto or Zelda that is mentioned in this plotline. All I own are original characters, items/weapons/jutsu/ect. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the last chapter... Now I can rest! XD YES!
Final Chapter
I always knew mother was unhappy with her marriage. Fugaku was always a bit of a control freak. I had heard that my mother survived the massacre I had unleashed, and for that, I am glad she had moved on, and did the right thing by sealing off the part of her bloodline that would give birth to more Sharingan. Naruto, I was ANBU Weasel and one of the few who protected you when you were so young. My mother wished to protect you as well, but could not because of Fugaku. Naruto, I knew that I was going to die anyway. Only you will know that my intention of killing my own clan is to prevent my father from bringing forth the next Advent of Madara, the very same man who now is dead, and his body stolen by your own enemy. Since the days of the Nidaime, and from what I have known since my birth and raising they had planned to destroy Konoha, control it under their name and blood. I have always remained loyal to Konoha to allow her to die under the fires of my kin, so I had nipped the bud before the deadly flower can blossom. The only other person who knew was the Sandaime. He had given me the mission, and I accepted it.
Naruto, this scroll is one of my own Kenjutsu techniques, of which I had used against my own clan. Learn it, perfect it, and protect those you love. My brother Sasuke will never get his chance of killing me, but he will be too corrupted by power. If he cannot change his ways, then please, for the sake of my memory, for my mother who lives a new peaceful life: kill Sasuke. Beware of Kisame, for he will do anything to kill you to obtain the Kubikiri Hocho. If you are truly a destined Hero, then show the world the power you wield to defend of innocent. And tell my mother that I still love her.
Uchiha Itachi
Naruto noticed a few tear drop stains in the letter, but he folded it, as he himself felt a bit sad from reading the letter. Now, Naruto truly knew dark secrets that no one would know. Itachi's reason for killing his own clan was because they had planned a coup to destroy Konoha and rule it under their name and blood. And for the good of the village, it was the best choice. To prevent a disease from spreading, kill the infection before it roots itself into the host. Sarutobi-jijii died, taking that dark secret to his grave... so did Itachi, leaving him the third and final person to know the truth, fourth counting Midna who also read it through his eyes. He made a choice there and then that this secret shall never leave. So, to make sure no one ever found out, he burned the letter and mixed its ash with the pot of dirt he had growing a small bush of roses near the window of his bedroom.
"I'll learn this technique, and then destroy it as well." He grabbed the Master Sword, and left to train.
The village was recovering, and missions taken helped boost the ryo it needed to repair the more heavily hit areas form the dark army invasion. Naruto and his friends all did what they could to help, until a month later that he made a request that shocked everybody. Go on a three year training mission by himself. At first Tsunade denied such an action, until he pointed out that with Itachi's death, the Akatsuki would think that it was him who had killed him and would double their efforts to capture him just to kill him because, even if he's no longer the holder of the Kyuubi, they would still see him as a dangerous chess piece that must be taken out. It took three days for Tsunade to finally allow Naruto this chance that not many Genin would ever get. In those three days and the following month, Naruto had successfully mastered the scroll of Itachi's only Kenjutsu technique.
It was night on the coming fourth day, when Naruto snuck out of the house, and toward the gates. The two guards at the gate saw Naruto leave the village on Epona, but they knew that their Hokage granted Naruto a three year leave on a training regimen.
"Hey... Izumo?"
"Yes, Naruto?" Izumo spoke.
"If anyone wonders where I have gone, tell them I won't be found in this continent... I'll be traveling far west."
[Now playing: The Hero of Time - Uzumaki Naruto]
He then snaps on the reigns, and Epona whinnies as she gallops at a high speed away from the village with Izumo and Kotetsu watching until Naruto disappeared from their sight. The two men only looked at one another and chuckle. Naruto has changed a lot. They took the paths that would lead to the main road, and then head west towards Matsu no Kuni. Sitting in front of him, was Midna, smiling as she too enjoyed the ride. "You sure you want to do this? Leave without hearing goodbye?"
"Yes, I'm sure Midna. They'll all understand." She nodded and leaned back against Naruto as Epona continued to gallop, breaking past the tree lines and soon across the grassy fields. They find a dirt road and soon travels west down its path. As the sun slowly began to rise thus greeting the world another beautiful day, Uzumaki Naruto and Midna traveled far away from the village. In the homes of his friends and people he considered precious to him, they would find a note with only these words.
See you in three years.
Naruto wore a face of determination, as did Midna. The two were in this adventure together and Epona as well. They continue without break, father and father they were going away from Konohagakure no Sato. It will be three years until Naruto returned back home, but until that time, friends and those considered family to Naruto will have to await this return. But three years is a long time, as would be the changes three years can bring...
Elsewhere in the world, Kururi smiled to herself. With a bit of her magic, it was only possible for Midna to even remain impervious to the poisonous effects the world of light had on a Twili citizen such as the re-cursed Twilight Princess. Of course, how she managed it was during the mission to Kaminari no Kuni, one night as Naruto and Midna slept, she concentrated on her magic, and bonded the two as one.
"The world needs their Hero, Naruto."
I am finished with one half of the series. Naruto is now gone from Konohagakure, just like in the manga/anime, only this time Jiraiya remained in the village as Naruto is going on a solo vacation/training trip. Just... he has Midna who travels with him. Madara/Lansing is out of commission after trying to take out Naruto early in the game, but that doesn't mean his dark forces are out of commission.

Feel free to read any of my other stories in the mean time, and keep an eye for the next story that follows The Twilight Ninja. See you next installment.
