CHAPTER 9
STORY FINALE: NARUTO'S FATE?
The Uchiha Quarters were located in a secluded part of the village of Konohagakure. Most of the buildings and houses in the quarters were locked, well, since the Uchiha clan massacre, they hadn't been used. Amidst the quiet, ambient, and dark streets, a beam of light was visible. It was coming out from one of the residential houses of the Uchiha quarters, the house in which Sasuke Uchiha resided.
Inside the house, it was quiet and peaceful. Sasuke and Naruto were sitting on the couch, talking to their 'sensei' Kakashi Hatake, who was the sixth Hokage, while Sakura was preparing tea for all of them in the Kitchen.
"Tea is done," Sakura said as she placed her tray of tea cups at the center table and sat on the couch alongside Sasuke and Naruto. Naruto took a cup in his hands and sipped the tea from the cup as Sakura decided to speak up.
"I never expected Hinata to cheat on you….." she said with a sad tone, thinking about how much Naruto used to love Hinata. He used to take her on dates a lot, used to gift her a lot of things.
"Life is unpredictable," Naruto said as Sasuke nodded.
"Well, at least you have someone who loves you right?" Sasuke said as Naruto smirked.
"Someone? I should say, 'some-many'." Kakashi smirked as Sasuke and Sakura let out a laugh.
"About that, Ino did tell me that she had a crush on you for a long time, I am happy for her!" Sakura exclaimed as Sasuke took a sip of his tea.
"But Temari-san and Hanabi-san were completely unexpected. What was the name of your fourth wife?" Sasuke asked.
"Matsuri, she used to be a staff at the onsen where I stayed during the trip."
"Sounds like a romance story. I can ask Jiraya-sama to write a novel on it." Kakashi giggled as Naruto huffed.
"Well, Mirai already told Ero-sennin about it, and he might consider it."
"Seriously!?"
"Yeah."
All of them started laughing as Sakura spoke up.
"So, how are the legal procedures going?"
"Well, I have approved Naruto's request to get into CRA. The court marriages will be done in the presence of the shinobi council next week and…" Kakashi was speaking as Sasuke interrupted.
"What about the big celebrations?"
"About that…I guess we'll have to wait until Hinata shows up. Her mission has been extended for another 3 months." Kakashi replied.
"Best, she'll learn her lesson," Sasuke said as Naruto smirked.
Suddenly, a hologram of Kurama's head appeared out of Naruto's back and nearly all of them gasped.
"Ok, let's talk about….that."
All of them looked toward Naruto as he frowned a bit. He had already told Kakashi about the things which he faced during his battles. Sasuke and Sakura were unaware of that.
"During Naruto's fight with the mercenary brothers, his chakra system stopped working all of a sudden. As the chakra system was linked with all other organ systems, he was having trouble with breathing. At that period of time, he wasn't able to mold chakra and his heart had nearly stopped working."
Sakura's eyes widened as she heard what Kurama had just said.
"C-cardiac arrest?" She stammered.
"Yeah. Naruto is suffering from a chakra disease, which is weakening him slowly."
"Wait, how is this happening? What is the reason behind this illness?" Sasuke asked, a bit worried about his best friend.
"The sage of six paths also had this disease. We know that Naruto houses the chakra of all the nine-tailed beasts. Now, due to this, his own chakra system is getting messed up. Since the chakra of various bijuus is present in his body, various blocks are forming all around his chakra network, inhibiting his chakra usage. If this continues, he will lose the ability to use chakra, also, his chakra system itself might get destroyed, the result being…."
"…Naruto's death?" Sakura looked at her blonde bestie. He was more like a brother to her and she couldn't believe that he was dying. Naruto looked towards the ground, his face full of sadness. Sakura wrapped her hands around Naruto as he laid his head on her shoulder, as she patted her head.
"You are going to be ok, Naruto."
Sasuke was trying to digest Kurama's words. Naruto is dying? No, it can't be.
"Kurama, you said that the Sage of Six paths had this disease? How did he recovered from it?"
"I don't know. But, I know that he was at the Land of Rendaku when he was being treated for the disease."
"Land of Rendaku?" Sasuke asked.
"It's the country where the Astronomical Research Institute is present." Kakashi said as Sasuke nodded.
After a long moment of silence, Naruto spoke up.
"So, this is where it ends…I am going to die, huh?" Naruto said as he smiled a bit, tears coming out of his eyes.
Sakura started tearing up as Naruto said that.
"Shut up, you idiot. You won't die." Sakura continued, "You used to say that you won't die until you become the Hokage?"
"I don't know. Why do these keep happening to me? I have a happy family now, I have a student now, am on my way to achieve my dreams but…"
"Urusai, kono usuratonkachi." Sasuke said as he stood up. "You are going to be alright. With your permission, Kakashi-sensei, I want to leave for the Land of Rendaku tomorrow morning to investigate about this disease and find its cure."
"Then, I'll also come along with you." Sakura said as Naruto looked at both of them.
"Request granted, I'll do the paperwork for the mission tomorrow. Naruto, you are going to be fit and fine." Kakashi said.
'Thank you, all of you…..'
The next three months were challenging for Naruto. Sasuke and Sakura had left for the Land of Rendaku to find a cure for Naruto's disease. Meanwhile, at Konoha, Naruto completed all the court procedures of his CRA and marriages with Ino, Temari, Hanabi and Matsuri. Tsubaki Yamanaka, Ino's mother was happy for her as she knew about her crush on Naruto for a long time. Gaara was pleasant to hear about Temari's marriage with Naruto as he sent Kankuro to Konoha for helping them with the legal procedures. Hiashi Hyuuga was disappointed at Hinata as, what she had done was unacceptable. However, he was happy for Hanabi, and asked Naruto to take care about her. Naruto requested Hiashi to not send any message to Hinata regarding this, for the time, as Hiashi agreed. During the court marriage, along with the shinobi council, Tsunade, Jiraya, Mirai, Kakashi, Kurenai, Gai, Hiashi, Kankuro were also present.
For Yuki, she was admitted into an orphanage by Naruto himself. Considering his health condition, he knew that things would get messy in a few weeks or so, thus, he wanted to keep Yuki away from it. He promised Yuki that he will adopt her once his 'problems' was over. Also, Yuki's status as a monster's vessel was hidden so that, she wouldn't get any rough treatments from the caretakers at the place.
In a month, everything was normal with Naruto's married life. His wives had shifted to the Uzumaki compound. Temari became a Konoha shinobi and rarely took any missions, just to stay with Naruto. Ino was also the same, except, she used to work at her shops in the weekends. Hanabi was still a genin thus, she used to be busy with her team. Matsuri became a full time housewife.
Naruto's health started going downhill. He used to have multiple minor cardiac arrests throughout the day. He was only alive, thanks to Kurama. He wasn't able to use chakra, thus, he stopped taking missions and was bedridden for some weeks. Doctors used to come to his house and check up on him. His wives also stopped taking missions at that time and stayed by their husband's side. Mirai stayed along Naruto's side throughout his entire situation.
Fortunately, Sasuke and Sakura were able to find the cure for Naruto's disease, which turned out to be celestial particles. Various surgeries and treatments took place, and Naruto was back once again, strong and mighty as always.
Like that 3 months had passed. It was a rollercoaster ride for Naruto, but his bonds with his wives became even stronger.
Naruto Uzumaki, who used to be alone throughout most of his childhood, now had a loving family. Firstly, it was Jiraya, his godfather. Then came Tsunade, his grandmother. Then came Sakura and Sasuke, his teammates who were like his siblings, Kakashi was like his older brother, Mirai was like his daughter, and now, his wives.
UZUMAKI COMPOUND, EVENING TIME
"And game over."
"Uhhh I lost again….."
Naruto and Mirai were playing shogi at the living room. Temari had went to Sunagakure to meet her brothers. Ino was currently at her flower shop. Hanabi was away with her team while Matsuri was preparing the dinner.
"Tadaima." They heard the voice of Hanabi as she entered the compound and rushed to the living room.
"Okaeri, Hanabi-chan. How did the mission go?" Naruto asked as Hanabi took her seat alongside Naruto.
"Boring as always." She said as Naruto landed a small kiss on her cheek as she blushed.
"Well, Naruto-kun…"
"What is it?"
"Nee-san is back in Konoha."
"Oh?" Naruto asked as Mirai looked at him.
"So, what do you say, sensei. Let's teach her a lesson?" Mirai asked as Naruto smirked.
"Sure sure. Let's inform Ino about it, what do you say, Matsuri-chan, Hanabi-chan?"
"I'm in!" Hanabi exclaimed as Matsuri came out from the kitchen.
"Sounds interesting.." Matsuri said with a smile as Naruto, Mirai and Hanabi got up from their seats.
"Let's go."
-THE END-
AUTHOR'S NOTE
Since the name of the fanfiction is 'Naruto's Mission: The three headed monster' and the mission is over, the fanfiction ends here. There will be a sequel obviously. I want y'all to comment down what the sequel will be about:-
1. Continuation of the story (Hinata's fate, Naruto's normal life with his wives)

The Chakra disease thing is real and Naruto did had that in the Naruto retsuden novel.
Now, I want to share out what my actual plans were with this story:-
1. The original draft didn't had any romance, CRA or anything like that.
2. In the first draft, Hinata was killed in the mission. But, I changed it to her cheating on Naruto.
3. Tsuruhime was killed in the original draft.
4. I toned down the violence portions.
5. Yuki was killed in the original draft
6. Matsuri died, while trying to protect Naruto in the original draft.
Haha I know I planned a lot of things but, sometimes, changes need to be made to cater the audience lol.
