Chapter Fourteen:

Since Naruto couldn't use the Hiraishin to transport all of them back to Konoha, they reached their home village near dawn.

Naruto immediately teleported himself to the Hokage Residence. Shizune and Sakura were by Tsunade's side, and it struck his heart to see his grandmother-figure so old and frail.

"Hey, baa-chan." He put up a smile for her, "I win the bet after all. My entire team passed."

Tsunade smiled back weakly, "Expected that."

Naruto got on his knees beside her bed and took her wrinkled hand in his. Bending down he kissed it gently.

Tsunade coughed, "I've only… got a few hours left, gaki... gather the v-villagers… I want to… give it to you… myself."

Naruto nodded, suppressing tears. He made a hand sign and two ANBU appeared.

"I want you two to get all the villagers gathered in front of the Hokage residence." Naruto instructed, "As soon as possible. Alert me when everyone's there."

"Hai."

When the two ANBU were gone, Tsunade spoke again, "Sakura… genjutsu, please."

Sakura nodded, tears glittering on her face. As she cast the genjutsu, Hinata appeared behind Naruto. She put a hand on his shoulder.

"Take… care of him… Hinata." Tsunade said weakly.

Hinata nodded, "Always."

The ANBU appeared, "It's done, Hokage-sama."

Naruto nodded, and Tsunade nodded at the two ANBU, who did a summoning. Immediately the Hokage robes and hat appeared. The robes were the same as his Successor ones, but with 'Rokudaime Hokage' stamped on them.

Tsunade stood up, leaning on Shizune. Naruto followed the two outside, where the villagers of Konoha were gathered.

"Citizens of Konoha!" Tsunade started, her voice raspy and weak but magnified with a jutsu, "I have called you her for an important issue. Though you may not know it, I have been on bed rest for the past week."

A collective gasp shot throughout the audience.

"I… have little time left. To be honest… I'm not sad… to go. I've seen… a lot… and I'll be reunited… with everyone I lost… and I'm leaving you… in excellent hands."

With difficulty, Tsunade turned, holding the robes out. Naruto slipped into them, and she put the hand on his head.

"I give… you… the… Rokudaime… Hokage…"

With a nod from Naruto, Shizune took Tsunade back inside.

Naruto bowed hurriedly.

"I promise to be the best Hokage the world will ever now." He shouted, and tears escaped from his eyes as he felt Tsunade's chakra fading. With another quick bow, he rushed inside.

"Baa-chan!" He cried, grabbing her hand.

Tsunade smiled at him weakly, "You… did… it… Naruto…"

And with that, the Godaime Hokage left the living world to be reunited with her lost loved ones.

After kissing her hand and her forehead, Naruto went back outside, this time with Hinata beside him. She wore traditional white robes of the Hokage's wife. Both had tears in their eyes, but held them back.

"The G-Godaime Hokage has passed away." Naruto's voice trembled slightly, "I request you all to attend her f-funeral, which be held immediately."

The villagers bowed solemnly, and Naruto stared up at the darkening sky.

'Even the skies are crying, grandma.' He thought, tears mixing with the raindrops falling from the sky.

After the funeral, the village as a one bowed to their Rokudaime Hokage, and began working on building his face on the mountain.
