The Healing Sekirei

Epilogue

The clear Saturday sky was that perfect blue and the crisp fall temperature reminded Naruto of the day he had met Uzume. Since the night Sakura had attempted to kidnap him she had rarely let her Ashikabi out of her sight, not that Naruto minded. That had been nearly sixteen years ago.

That wonderful weekend found Naruto sitting quietly outside his home as he watched his children play. He had never been so happy or at peace in his life. Nearby sat both Uzume Namikaze and Hana Uzumaki, he smiled at them as he looked at how beautiful they were. It seemed like no matter their ages both his wives were meant to be beautiful. Inside his godmother Tsunade and older sister Shizune were preparing lunch for everyone. It was absolutely perfect.

After Sakura's attempted kidnapping the Konoha contingent had one final meeting with Naruto and Uzume. Tsunade had revealed she and Shizune would not be returning to Konoha. She was officially retiring to stay with the last of her family outside the elemental nations and Shizune's resignation as a Shinobi had been accepted by Tsunade before her retirement.

The only other time Konoha shinobi who had left the elemental nations had been the Inuzuka's visit for Naruto and Hana's wedding. It had been a bit surprising to find Hana had gotten along so well with both Naruto and Uzume. She seemed to ground them in a way that Uzume's rather care free attitude and Naruto's more immature nature needed.

So far they had seven kids between them and Shizune had two with her husband, a man she met working as a nurse at a local hospital. Uzume and he had two little boys and twin girls while Hana had given birth to one little boy and two girls. He couldn't help but grin as he watched them play with Shizune's little girls and their ninken. The Inuzuka had been happy to accept them all as family and provide ninken for their children, a surprise move that Naruto was certain was a means to ingratiate themselves with his children but he couldn't say no to the small pups. Sora had been the best companion and guard for his family he could ever ask for after all. He couldn't imagine a happier sight.

They had decided to travel the world for a while, once Naruto could walk again, before retiring to just outside of the city where Naruto bought a large plot of land and built a large home. Naruto knew his kids would have to make the choice of whether to return to Konoha or not one day but that moment he didn't care.

Everyone in his life was happy and fulfilled, following their dreams. In fact, Naruto and Tsunade had rarely needed to touch the money from their clans. They had used extremely small portions as seed money for each of their family's ventures or education but otherwise it was still locked safely within the storage scrolls.

Naruto had followed through with his plans to republish his godfather's Icha Icha series before taking up the pen himself. He was a rather well known author of both 'Icha Icha' and another series he created called 'The Misadventures of the Tailed Beasts'. His book sales alone would have his family living comfortably for generations but the fact he owned the publishing company itself, which had grown into one of the largest in the world, ensured they would never want for money.

Uzume had taken her love for costume design and become a prominent figure in fashion. She often worked on new lines of clothing from jeans to hats to coats, much to Hana and Shizune's delight. Sometimes having a fashion designer in the house was too awesome to express for the women, considering the rather full closets each of the women had. She was an accomplished designer but an even better mother and wife.

Hana had her own vet clinic where she treated wounded animals and helped strays find good homes. After traveling the world she had found her thrill seeker side somewhat sated and put her whole heart into her clinic and children and family.

Shizune had gone back to school and received her nursing degree before falling love with a doctor at the hospital. They had decided to buy the house next to Naruto's and considered each other family, made official when Tsunade adopted both Shizune and Naruto under the legal system of the Japan.

Naruto smiled at the women in his life before focusing on the brown haired Sekirei that had saved him. He had wanted to die when they met. She had started healing his mind, body, and soul. Through her Hana came to join them along with Tsunade and Shizune. Together his family had helped me through the nightmares, the pain of relearning to use his legs, and ultimate fear of being a father.

Uzume grinned at him happily, using her power over cloth catch and swing their kids into the air and listening to them squeal in joy. Naruto grinned back and pure love shown from his eyes for the woman before him. Sure, at one point she had been the veiled Sekirei but to Naruto she would always be his Sekirei of Healing.

The End

A/N: So it's official! I completed a story! YAY! I wanted this story to be something fun, a bit of a fluff piece and something to just be enjoyed for what it is. I hope everyone had a good time reading it and it filled some of your day with a smile. I'll be working on my own stories more from now on as this has been keeping my attention since I decided to write and received permission to do so from Loki. I look forward to sharing more stories with you soon!
