My Sacrifice

Epilogue

Naruto sat up and watched TV, before he knew it, he was waking up, the TV still on. Looking at the clock, he saw that he had three hours to live. Getting up, he went to his bathroom and showered. He wore no shirt, and only put on his pants. Naruto didn't want blood getting on any of his shirts, or have them hacked in half for that matter. He looked at his clock and found that he still had two hours left. Though he wouldn't show it, he was scared. Really scared.

'What if I don't make it Hitomi?'

'You're a full fledged Kyuubi now Kit. You're no longer relying on my powers. You haven't used them since you began training.' Naruto sighed.

'I'm still scared. Anyway, Sakura wanted me to pick her up.' He suddenly thought, trying to get his mind off the subject. Turning towards the door, he headed over to the Haruno residence. After knocking, the door opened, and her mom turned her head towards the stairs, calling her daughter's name.

Sakura walked up behind her.

'Ready to go Naruto?'

'Yeah.'

'How can you two be so happy? You're about to die.' The elder Haruno asked, nodding her head towards Naruto.

'Just wait until the execution. You'll see.' She nodded, and they walked off towards the town square. They got there, and the stage was all set up. A large stump with an ax resting against it. Sakura got a front row seat, while Naruto laid down on the stump.

'I'm gonna get my stomach cut in half, doodie, doodah.' Naruto sang quietly.

'THAT'S NOT EVEN FUNNY NARUTO!' She screeched at him. He just cackled. Sasuke showed up next, followed by Kiba and Hinata, Teuchi and Ayame, Shizune, Tsunade, Ino, Tenten, Lee and the rest of rookie nine, followed by their senseis. Finally the counsel and the executioner showed up.

They pulled out some shackles, and bound Naruto down. Villagers started to show up and take their seat in the brown metal chairs set out. Some had beer ready in celebration, and Sakura even saw one man setting up fireworks.

'Today, Uzumaki Naruto is to be executed for treason, resisting arrest, attacking a fellow officer, attacking civilians, attacking Counsel members, going AWOL, attacking the Hyuuga head, and murdering a Konoha nin.'

'Really? Who'd I murder?' Naruto asked, craning his neck back to look at the man.

'Orochimaru.'

'WHAT? THAT'S CRAP! HE WAS IN THE BINGO BOOKS! LOOK IN MY LEFT POCKET, HE'S IN THE BOOK.' The counsel member did and found that he was in there. Though he already did know that. The man just wanted Naruto to look worse.

'His penalty is death by a method of his choice, and he chose an ax to the stomach.' Naruto nodded. At least he got that right. The executioner stood and picked the ax up.

'Now cut right across the seal.' The executioner nodded as Naruto formed chakra to show the seal. A drum started in the background as the man reared back and swung down as hard as he could. With a dull thud, the ax hit the stump.

'Thank you sir.' Naruto said, coughing up some blood. They lifted the shackles off of him, and set fire to his legs off the side of the stage. Just then, his half seal glowed red.

'Thank you sir, for releasing Hitomi.' A blast of red chakra rose from him in a pillar, as Orochimaru's voice, disguised as Naruto's, rang out.

'The nine tailed fox, Kyuubi, also known as Hitomi can only be released by a fatal blow to the stomach.' Naruto convulsed, before finally settling down. The all mighty Kyuubi shot from the seal, and turned human in midair. Her chakra shot forth next, hitting her in the chest. All nine tails shot from her tail bone, and her claws and canine teeth all extended, as fox ears shot out from her head. She stood there grinning like a maniac.

'Naruto, you're turn.' was all she said as his body glowed black, before fading. Suddenly, from his stump of a body, after a loud gasp of breath from Naruto, shot millions of white strings, twisting and turning together to form the bones for legs. Next, red and white strings shot out to make the muscles and tendons. Then skin grew. Tsunade tossed him a pair of pants, which he pulled on with a thankful look on his face. He got them on before his regrowth was complete. Standing up, he was a bit wobbly at first, but quickly regained his balance. Tsunade stood next to him.

'Naruto has paid his dues. He has died, though only temporarily All charges have been pressed, and the penalty has been paid. He is now reinstated as a genin, and I'm immediately promoting him to ANBU. I will step down in a month, and Naruto will take my place as the Rokudaime.' She announced.

And in Naruto had single handedly taken on a record breaking 25 S-Rank missions, beating the old record by five missions, as well as had been trained by Tsunade about working as the Hokage. He now stood on top of the Hokage Tower, in front of the entire village.

'I accept the role of Hokage, and hereby pledge to protect this village as long as I feel like doing so. Then I'll quit and let someone else take role. But that probably won't be for a few centuries.' A general chuckle went through the crowd, as Arashi and Jiraiya watched, pride evident in their eyes. 'I'd also like to do something right now.' He motioned for Hitomi to come up. She did, and he kneeled down, asking her to marry him. She grinned and shook her head, before saying yes.

'Naruto, quit worrying so much, she's known you all your life, if she was going to walk out, she'd've done it by now.' Sasuke said, putting his hand on Naruto's shoulder. Naruto nodded, and waited. It was the day of his and Hitomi's wedding, and Naruto was ready to wet himself. Sasuke was Naruto's best man, and Naruto's body went rigid as the music started. Jiraiya, Arashi, and Gai had somehow ended up acting as a priest. Naruto still didn't know how that happened. There was only supposed to be one. And they were supposed to be priests!

'Okay, Naruto!' Arashi said, facing his son. 'Do you take this woman to be your wife?'

'I do.'

'And Hitomi, do you take this hip, young dude to be your husband?' Gai asked.

'I do.' She said.

'YOU MAY KISS THE HOT BABE OF A BRIDE!' Jiraiya announced. Naruto glared at the three of them, before being pulled into a kiss that had mothers covering their children's eyes. Kiba was getting this on tape, to use as blackmail against Naruto later. Hitomi, on the other hand, was enjoying this. This idea of marriage where you got to kiss just to be married was a great idea. Amazing humans came up with this. After a minute or two, Arashi cleared his throat loudly, and took the notebook from Jiraiya's hands. Naruto grinned, and they walked back down the isle.

'Told ya.' Sasuke muttered to Naruto. At the party afterwards, Hitomi got everyone's attention.

'I have an announcement to make! Naruto here, is going to be a dad!' Everyone hollered and clapped at this, while Naruto screamed like a little girl and fainted on the spot. Kiba was still getting blackmail on him.

'The great Desu Decchi has just squealed and fainted.' He said to Hinata, both who were laughing their heads off. They had already gone through this, and glad that Naruto hadn't had the chance to get stuff on them during their ceremony. Kiba laughed harder when Naruto did it again after coming to and finding out that they were having twins. A boy and a girl.

Naruto later walked up to Sasuke, and found him and Sakura making out. And from the looks of things, there would be another wedding and a new start of the Uchiha clan coming soon. Naruto turned and came face to face with Hitomi.

'I think they've got the right idea.' She said to him, before tackling Naruto .

And so, about a week later, Naruto had to get up with Hitomi, who was leaning over a toilet at this moment and puking her brains out.

'I hate children.' She muttered to Naruto, before she gave another heave over the toilet. Naruto just sighed, and continued rubbing her back, trying to comfort her. After she'd finished her puking, they sat on the couch, doing nothing but enjoying each other's company, due to the fact that Naruto hadn't gotten around to setting up the TV, and Hitomi was determined to make him do it.

'So how long until...er..' He gave a slight cough.

'I give birth?' Naruto gave a small squeak, making Hitomi laugh. 'It takes a year for Kyuubis. The extra three months are spend getting their kitsune features.' Naruto just nodded. "And set up the TV damnit!' She said, wanting to get rid of the awkwardness. He just nodded again and got up, walking towards the cable box.

In the next few months, there were at least a hundred attempts on Hitomi's life. Each assassin was slowly killed, and their dead body was hung by the ankles from the front gate, showing what would happen to the assassins. That seemed to stop the attempts. After Naruto found out it was the Mist who was sending the assassins, he declared war, and was back a week later. The Mist continent was literally wiped off the map. There wasn't even any land left. Hitomi, Jiraiya, Arashi, and Naruto had all taken up residence in the Uzumaki compound after Naruto became Rokudaime.

At the moment, Naruto was running around squealing. Hitomi's water had just broke, and Sasuke and Sakura were at their house. Sakura said she'd deliver the two, and Sasuke was moral support. For Naruto. He was freaking out worse than Hitomi, who seemed perfectly calm. Sasuke finally punched Naruto because he wouldn't quit. Afterwards, Hitomi was holding a baby girl, while Naruto held a baby boy. Both had kitsune ears, claws, extended canine teeth, and a tail. After a while, they switched off, and Naruto held his daughter, while Hitomi held her son.

The girl was named Ren (water lily) and the boy was named Jiro. Naruto had two swords forged. One like Hitomi's for Ren, and one like his own for Jiro. They grew up as normal as possible for the life of a shinobi. Naruto was sometimes gone for weeks, and would come home battered and bruised, saying his healer was defective, because it always got worn out after resetting a few broken bones.

And so, the legend of Uzumaki Naruto, and Uzumaki Hitomi comes to an end. Which happens to be a happy one.

AN: Yeah, a bit of a sappy ending, I know. Well, this is the end folks. I don't know if there's going to be a sequel or not, I've lost interest in this. I'm not totally done with it, but unless I'm really into it, you won't get a great story. Anyway, what am I babbling about! IT'S DONE! W00H00 THE FIRST STORY I'VE EVER FINISHED!

I want to thank all my reviewers. I'd put your name, but there's too many of them. There aren't words to describe the pride I get every time I look at all the hits and good reviews I get, and so I would like to thank everyone who reviewed and read. This chapter goes to everyone.

If I ever get a sequel done, it'll probably be a bit different than this. Probably a bit darker. Anyone else interested in my other stories or if I get out a sequel, want to know when, Author alert me. Oh, and for anyone who likes Kairi/Sora KH fics, I'll probably be forced to write one of those, because I've got a plot that won't go away. Actually, it's already started writing itself. So once, I get that written down and out of my head, I'll probably finish this sequel...or the otherway around.

Anyway, Thanks again to every one, you all make me proud to be an author.
