Hello everybody! Magilou and Warhawk here bringing you part 2 of the final Chapter of Tales of the Elemental Nations. Thank you all for supporting the story anyway you could.

Thanks Magilou, I'll take it from here. Hey everyone I am back from vacation which I have to say wasn't as good as I hoped it would be. Nothing really bad happened but in short things didn't go as planned and the whole vacation was pretty much a total waste of my time. On the Brightside I'm back I'm ready to continue doing what I love, making fanfic!

"Hey! Warhawk! Before we do this I just need to say one thing to the readers. You're all probably expecting that this chapter won't answer every major question that's been on your minds, right? Well you're wrong! You see simply giving you the answers like this don't give you Everlasting satisfaction. Sometimes you have to brace yourself for disappointment. Think about it, imagine your favorite TV show, you've been through it all. The ups, The downs, even the craziest of coincidences, and then Bang! They tell you what it's all been about. Would you be happy? Does it even make sense? How come it all ended and started with a vision?"

Tales of the Elemental Nations

Chapter 27: epilogue part 2

Uzumaki residence

Xion right now was sharing a bed in Kim's room but having trouble sleeping even though the bed was comfortable. Kim not fully asleep noticed. "Still worried about Nowaki, huh. Look, worrying yourself to insomnia isn't going to help. You should get some sleep."

"I'm trying to, it's just I have a lot of things on my mind that it's hard for me to fall asleep." Xion said trying in vain to fall asleep.

"Wow. You must really like this Nowaki kid that much if thinking about him keeps you up at night." Kim said causing Xion to blush while asking why she would assume that she had feelings for Nowaki. "Huh? I just said you liked him, I wasn't implying that you like him like that." Kim responded making Xion feel embarrassed. "Well, since that cat is out of the bag might as well talk about it, right?"

"No! No we don't!" Xion yelled out.

"Hahaha! Okay, sorry I asked." Kim said laughing a bit.

"Hey, Kim?" Xion asked getting Kim's attention. "Naruto told me about you and Sakura arguing this morning. I want to know, did you two make up?"

Kim was silent for a bit before answering. "Well. I guess you can say we sorta did. I made it clear that I wasn't going to change my mind about leaving and I finally told Sakura why I've been angry and distant from her. She actually still thought it was all because of that stupid stunts she pulled on the rooftop."

"Well wasn't it?"

"No, not exactly. It was more or less the final straw." Kim began. "I never liked Sasuke or trusted him for that matter. I was always afraid that one day Sakura might get herself killed because of her obsession with him. So you should easily guess how terrified I was when I saw Sakura run into a literal Collision of two powerful Jutsu from a fight that Sasuke started. I was already upset but what really set me off was that she tried to shake it off as nothing as if the fact that she almost died didn't even matter...I- I just couldn't handle or tolerate seeing her be like that anymore." Kim finished.

"And what did she say after you told her that? Xion asked.

"Well surprisingly actually admit it. She admitted that what she did was stupid and she even admitted that she knew why I was angry but just didn't want to admit it and just hope that I would get over it. Obviously she was wrong." Kim said remembering the talk she and Sakura had when Naruto left. "She's still not giving up on him, no surprise there. She still wants to bring Sasuke back but she at least said it's not just because she loves him, but because she really loves being part of team 7. Hack she even admit I was apart of it just because I was there." Kim said laughing a bit. It wasn't mentioned but she did join the photo of team 7 with her and Sakura in the center with Sasuke next to Sakura and Kim next to Naruto.

"So do you believe that something like that is possible?" Xion inquired.

"I don't know what to believe or if I should even care. Honestly I think the whole idea is crazy, but that's her goal right now. The only good thing I can say about it is that is not completely centered around her crazy love obsession with Sasuke." Kim replied.

"So does that mean you two are ok again?" Was Xion's next question.

"Oh that? Yeah we're square. Well not completely Square but at least to the point that I'll stop trying to avoid not talking with her." Kim answered. "Well I'm done talking about this so good night." Kim said going to sleep. (To those who probably wanted to see the conversation between Sakura and Kim I hate to disappoint you but we really couldn't think of anything in regards to that scene but we may do a flashback scene after the time skip.)

"Ok, good night then." Xion said. Even though Kim was now asleep Xion still found herself unable to sleep. She just couldn't stop thinking about Nowaki and grabbed her chest. "When I see Nowaki that boy is in for it."

Forest outside of tanzaku town

We join back where we left off with Nowaki challenging Naruto to a fight. "Naruto, I want you to fight me!"

"What? Nowaki why the heck do you suddenly want fight me right this second? If this is about what happened when we first fought and wanting to Seattle the score we could do this later." Naruto said trying to decline the challenge.

"It's not about that! I'm already over that!" Nowaki proclaimed. "I'm not good with words so I'm going to let my fists do the talking, if what that girl in the white dress says is true then all I need to do is get one serious attack on then you'll understand. I don't know exactly what she meant by that but she said a whole lot of weird stuff that didn't make sense."

"Girl in the white dress? He must mean Namine. What was he doing with her?" Naruto said in his thoughts as he looked at Nowaki. He looked completely distraught, confused, and looked as if he really wanted to tell him something but couldn't find the words or the courage to say it. Naruto may not know what's really going on but he knew for a fact that he couldn't take Nowaki back to the Village like this. "Ok. I may not fully get it but this really seems important to you. Just try to put up a better fight this time." Naruto said jumping back to gain distance.

"I intend to. All I just need is to get one clear strike on him." Nowaki said clapping his hands together and then slamming them on the ground causing the ground beneath Naruto to shake as an earth hands grabbed his feet and began to pull him down at the ground became somewhat like quicksand.

Naruto quickly reacted by using a chi punch to punch the ground that caused a small crater. He then jumps out of the crater and took out his bow staff in spear mode and used a non-lethal air cutter only for Nowaki to create Rock pillars to act as sheilds and to Naruto surprise only did this through movement of his feet. "Is that earthbending your using?"

"No. I'm just using earth-style Jutsu except I'm not using any hand signs." Nowaki explained although whispered something to himself. "Darn. Why is it only now that I realize I could do this cool stuff? Things could have been so much easier." Nowaki inwardly pouted.

Naruto actually heard that and sweat drop. He then cast icy wave a higher level of icy water and released a small tsunami of quick freezing water at Nowaki who quickly use the mud wall to create a long wall that suddenly glowed yellow. When the water hit the wall it evaporated the icy water causing a haze white vapor to spread throughout the field except the area behind the mud wall.

Being on the other side of the wall Naruto was in the Center of the white Haze although did not panic. He felt the ground under him beginning to shake and quickly inch towards the right to avoid the Earth hand that was trying to grab him and then backed up some to avoid another Earth hand trying to hit him from Below. This continued a good bit with Naruto avoiding the Earth hands that Nowaki summoned from the ground until Naruto felt he landed on softer ground that began to think his feet up to his feet and then with his Eagle Vision activating on its own and he could see through the haze Nowaki who had a yellow aura charged at him.

"There's no way you can avoid this! Solar punch!" Nowaki said striking Naruto in the stomach. Knowing that the coat that he wore was endurable it wouldn't do any serious damage or lethal damage but would definitely knocked the wind right out of him. "How do you like that?"

"Well honestly I'm very impressed." Naruto said casually as if he didn't just get the wind knocked out of him. "The last time we fought in this Forest you can even hit me directly and you were throwing out attack after pointless attack but this time you are actually put some thought into it. Very good. However." Naruto then revealed that he caught the solar punch with his left hand over his stomach. "I saw your attack coming from mile away." Before Nowaki could say or do anything Naruto Ki striked him like he did the first time they fought and paralyze them.

"He block my attack and paralyzed me again?!" Nowaki said remembering how he lost the first time as he struggled to get free. "I'm not gonna lose like this again!" Nowaki said trying to fight off the paralysis.

"Don't try it, Nowaki. The more you struggle against it the harder it is to move. Just tell me what's the matter and I'll undo the paralysis my Forest Palm caused." Naruto said before noticing Nowaki's eyes starting to glow orange and 2 small gauntlets appeared on his arm as yellow energy surrounded him while mothering Somethin. "Could you repeat that?" Naruto asked even though he has enhance hearing doesn't mean he could understand people mumbling their words if they're not clear.

"I said. I'm Not Done! YEETTT!" Nowaki screamed out as an invisible Blue Wave admitted from him that hit the entire surrounding area causing some birds and small forest animals to fall unconscious.

"What the?!" Naruto said at the covered his ears as the scream somehow bypassed his reverse hearing aids and left him a bit disoriented from the loud sound and then suddenly felt a sharp pain in his stomach most specifically the area where the seal that holds the nine tails and even heard the fox say something about Conqueror's something. (Just in case no one's fully aware conquerors haki also had the ability to make animals submit to you. So it would affect the fox but probably not as much as it does regular or Giants animals but we'll get back to that later.)

Nowaki in the spur-of-the-moment jumped back and charged another solar punch on his right Gauntlet hand and charged at Naruto determined that this hit will land.

Naruto seen this used his dragon Qi and focused it through his right arm and met Nowaki's punch causing a Shockwave of green and yellow energy green and yellow energy to admit from both of them before a white light engulfed them.

Throughout the forest and some near a good part of tanzaku town people began to fall unconscious except a few people who may have felt a bit woozy.

Back to where Naruto and Nowaki are the white light faded and Naruto was on his knees gasping for air as Nowaki was knocked out while back to normal. Naruto just stared at him for a few minutes before finally getting up. "So that's what was bothering you, huh... you should have just told me." Naruto said to the boy who was made from an embryo of himself. In that white light he saw exactly what Nowaki wanted to tell him. "Well on the Brightside you finally made me take this serious for once, so that's something. Anyway it's time I took you home."

After creating a shadow clone to go and collect Sveta and bring her back to Wasabi, Naruto carried Nowaki on his back and began to walk back to the Village. Unaware that Kurama was doing some critical thinking. "No doubt about it, that was Conqueror's Haki that he used. Naruto already unlocked observation haki the moment he gained Eagle Vision but it looks like that Nowaki kid unlocked conquerors haki first and in his last attack forced Naruto to use his dragon Qi and for a second he had complete control of it. Interesting. No doubt the Kit will have questions tomorrow. But a steel humanoid unlocking conquerors haki on the first try is quite worrying, the only other steel humanoid that I knew could do that was my creator/mother. Speaking of which." Kurama thought back to Yuyake and couldn't help but feel something uneasy. "I could feel his power each time Kit was near him and each time his power felt somewhat similar to mine. I don't know why this is but I got a feeling the one eye cripple may of had something to do with this."

(Yeah I know, this fight wasn't as long or Epic as you all probably thought it would be but the point of this fight was to get Nowaki thoughts on how he was feeling to Naruto through his fist. And the need to do that as well as not to lose the same way he did last time caused him to unlock conquerors haki. Me and the writer are aware that some of you may not be okay with Nowaki possessing this particular haki but this is all part of the plan for what Warhawk has in store for him. Other than that just deal with it! But just as the fox said Naruto's Eagle Vision is another name for observation haki just more focused on the Aura seeing aspect as mantra is more focused on the predicting of attacks.)

(Also, as most of you are probably aware we just added Haki to the story! But it's not the same haki as you would think. In this universe Haki is more so of a skill than a technique and there is a thing called the specialized haki, second awakened haki, and low tier haki. What that means is that the first haki you awaken is your specialized haki that can evolve into a stronger version of it. A second awakened haki is a rare chance of you unlocking another haki but it can't evolve and it will stay average at best. And finally low tier is when you learned the last haki but it'll only be in it low level stage AKA beginner level and that only works for observation and armament, you only get two chances of attaining conquerors haki. The reason for this is so it can keep its Rarity. It uses less Spirit energy and it's more fuel by your willpower.)

Not that far away in a cabin in the Woods

Outside a cabin Yakumo was sitting in the chair painting a portrait of the area including the blue star filled sky. She could hear someone walking towards her and saw that it was Iwabee. "Hey Iwabee, I figured you still be asleep."

"I was, but Yuyake says we need to leave soon. Pretty soon people are going to start looking for you given how him and Sin weren't as subtle when they were kidnapping you." Iwabee said while also looking at her picture.

"Kidnapping? More like rescuing. I hated living in that place, surrounded by Abu Black Ops 24/7, doctors doing almost everything for me despite me not wanting them to, and kurenai sensei visiting me but never doing anything to try and get me out." Yakumo said thinking about her time under house arrest. "I was basically living in my own personal hell."

"Couldn't have been any worse than mine. After that mission went all sorts of wrong I was found and captured by Rock ninjas." Iwabee said.

Yakumo was shocked to hear that. "What?! You were captured by the hidden Rock Village? How did you ever survive something like that? I figured they would kill any leafninja they come across."

"I lost my headband during my fall into the ocean so they didn't know who I was, at least a good bunch of them didn't know." Iwabee explained while rubbing the back of his head. "It wasn't all bad I was able to blend in for a good while before Yuyake pulled me out.

Yakumo despite seeing how casual iwabee is could definitely tell there was some pain in his words. "Speaking of which, why is Menma going by Yuyake?"

"He says that's his real name, he doesn't want to be refer to as Menma anymore. I don't know the full details but while we were all separated he found some things out about himself and his past." Iwabee said to the pale girl. "Whatever he found out really did a number on him and probably his mental state."

"How so?" Said the Voice of Yuyake who was unknown to Iwabee behind him with sin with his helmet off.

"I mean the guy is dating Sin. How can any guy find that crazy sharptooth tomboy attractive?" Iwabee said unaware of who asked that question. He then felt a wave of killer intent and turned around. "Ohhhhh."

"Oh no, don't stop on my account, keep talking. And afterwards I'll grab a scalpel, rearrange your stupid but decent face and afterwards we'll see just how women will find you attractive!" Sin said with intention to attack. Not wanting to die Iwabee ran with Sin running after him.

"Ah...shouldn't we?" Yakumo asked worried what sin would do to Iwabee.

"Don't worry she won't kill him." Yuyake said with Yakumo saying he was more worried about Sin hurting him. "I can't promise that. So are you finished yet? Because we really need to go. You disappearing isn't that big of a deal yet, but I rather we be halfway towards the land of water before they decide to do another retrieval mission."

"The land of water? Why would we go there?" Yakumo asked as the two sat down.

"Because the court now owns the land of water. The Mist Village was destroyed to finally end the blood War." Yuyake said unintentionally putting a look of shock and fear on Yakumo's face. "To soon?"

"Why are you with the Court? You know what they're after and you know what they've done in order to get it. Why would you want to be a part of that?"

"Because I sorta want the same thing." Yuyake said with a closed eye smile.

"You...you want to destroy the five major villages?" Yakumo asked a bit frightened.

"Oh no! No no! I don't want to destroyed the five villages. I want to destroy the Kage system." Yuyake said with the serious tone.

"What?! Why?" Yakumo asked.

"Because the Kages hold more respect then our so-called daimyos who are no more than lazy figureheads who can be easily convinced to Let The Villages do whatever they want and rarely to never punished them when something goes wrong. Do you know what that means?" Yuyake asked with a serious face as some of his hair covered his right blue eye as he had a rather unhappy look. "It means for the longest of time these Villages have worked with unlimited power and no real supervision. Some people may be okay with that but I'm not and I'm sure I'm not the only one. So I think it's time someone knock these guys off their High horses."

"But why? You used to always said that you wanted to become Hokage." Yakumo asked. How could Menma someone who wanted to be Hokage change to someone who want to destroy the five Kage.

"Because, a Kage's jobs is to protect their Village no matter what. And given what I've seen with the Mist, Sand, and Cloud, the extent they're willing to go did more harm than good. The scripture's prophecy is coming true and the more desperate the Kages get the closer they lead the villages to destruction. There's no way to stop it now but there is one thing I can do."

"And what might that be?" Yakumo questioned leading to Yuyake Whispering something in her ear that caused her eyes to widen in shock. "Menma... do you even know what you're saying?"

"Yes I do. And if the Leaf Village sees me as a monster for doing it then so be it." Yuyake proclaimed. "Just to let you know I don't hate the leaf Village I'm not even mad anymore at the old man for what he did. I just found my own way on how to Save The Village without saving it."

Before Yakumo could say anything they could feel a weird overwhelmingly strong force admitting from an area not that far away from them. "Was that, Conquerors haki?"

"Yes. It looks like Naruto and Nowaki are having a late night sparring match." Yuyake said casually before looking over to see Sin coming back with an unconscious Iwabee. "Is it's safe to assume that Iwabee got knocked out by that conqueror wave?"

"Yeah. Him being the new Four tail jinchuriki and all." Sin replied holding the unconscious boy over her shoulder despite him being taller. "So are we leaving now or not? Because I sure as heck don't want to be here when some ninjas come investigate this."

"Good point. Time to go!" Yuyake said before picking up Yakumo to her disapproval and began moving from the area. Once again like in the land of lightning leaving the scene without anyone knowing of their involvement and what transpired the night before. (Remember the things you've heard here people it will be important at the end!)

The next day, Uzumaki residence, morning

Nowaki was beginning to wake up until he felt someone was next and look to see that him and Xion were sleeping together on the couch under a blanket which caused him to blush. "Ok... where am I and why am I under a blanket with Xion?!"

"Oh good, you're finally awake. Morning Nowaki." Naruto said bringing two plates a breakfast omelet at setting them on the couch table. "These are for you two. Go and wake up Xion and eat, we have to go and see lady Tsunade in a little bit." Naruto said before walking towards the stairs.

"Hey wait! What about our fight last night?" Nowaki called-out.

"Oh don't worry about it. I got the message and we'll talk about it later. So just relax and eat and I'll see you when I come downstairs." Naruto said casually as he went upstairs leaving Nowaki quite confused.

"Wait, he Knows? Then why is he being so casual about it?" Nowaki wondered before he noticed that Xion was waking up and was now opening her eyes looking at him. "Morning Xion, how are-"

"Nowaki, You Idiot!" Xion yelled out before pushing Nowaki down on his back and lightly punching him while trying hard to keep her tears from showing. "I haven't seen or heard from you in two days! TWO DAYS! Do you know how worried I was! I worry something bad happened to you! Like you went out to fight some strong guy again and this time got yourself killed! Where the hell were you!?" Xion yelled demanding answers.

"I'm sorry Xion! I just met an old friend that wanted to Hangout with me so we went out and we ended up mean another old friend and then one thing happened another end we ended up staying out more than I thought we would." Nowaki said trying to explain himself without revealing what all happened and night before last night. "Look, I'm... I'm really sorry that I worried you like this, Xion. It's just been a real difficult two days for me and-"

"It's okay." Xion said getting Nowaki's attention. "I can tell you're not really comfortable right now with telling me what happened, so don't worry I'm not going to pry or tell shizune or Tsunade. I'm just glad your back." Xion said as she hugged him. "But next time at least call me before you disappear like that, okay?"

Nowaki didn't really know what to say other than. "Sure, no problem." He said hugging her back.

Hokage's Tower

The remaining members of Team 7 were now in front of the desk Tsunade with Shizune next to her and also to their surprise Kakashi was also there although on crutches. When Sakura asked what happened Kakashi only said he got into a little trouble on his latest mission but none too serious.

"Okay, team 7. As you are aware your teammate Sasuke Uchiha has defected from the hidden Leaf Village which now makes him a rogue ninja unfortunately."

The remaining members of Team 7 all had mixed looks. Sakura walking away sad, Naruto having a somewhat upset look remembering his previous fight with his Rogue teammate, Nowaki having a similar sad look remembering his failure for not stopping his best friend from turning traitor, and Kakashi despite his covered face looked guilty considering he was away and couldn't do anything to stop what happened.

Tsunade saw the look on their faces and sighed knowing that she had to continue. "My condolences, but onto the reason that you three are here. Despite your team still having four members for a four-man Squad but given Naruto's resignation and also Sakura being my Apprentice it is with a heavy heart that I must officially disband team 7 effective immediately."

"What?" Sakura said distraught.

"Ohh dang it!" Nowaki said with a comedic look of dismay. "This couldn't possibly get any worse!"

"Well I kind of saw this coming." Naruto signed with an annoyed look. "If I may ask, but aren't there other Shinobi that can take mine or Sasuke's place on the team?"

"Unfortunately no. But it wouldn't matter anyway given what's going to be happening to Nowaki." Tsunade said confusing team 7 and making Nowaki especially nervous. "In a week you're going to Ember City to attend Ember City Middle School. You'll be starting from 6th grade."

"What? You mean your sending me away to a place where I'll have to spend hours in a classroom with civilian kids and Academy student dropouts to learn about boring curricular stuff?" Nowaki asked getting a yes from Tsunade. "Noooo! Please sis! If this is punishment for something I don't remember doing then I'm sorry, I'll take any other punishment but please just don't send me to school! They'll eat me alive!" Nowaki said in dismay as he when over to Tsunade and hugged her by the waist while crying tears of dismay pleading for her to not send him to school.

However this had no effect on the fifth Hokage but instead annoyed her. "This isn't a punishment you gakki, this is me doing something about your low modern-day intellect! Honestly I'm surprised I haven't done this a long time ago." (Oh you would have, but the writer wanted to hold off on doing that.)

"Because you love me too much to want to send me away somewhere you won't get to see me everyday." Nowaki said with pleading eyes.

"Nice try. You're going to school and that's final, and you better put effort into it or I'll have to hire a tutor to teach you after school. Understand?" Tsunade said.

"...Yes ma'am. May I please go outside now so I can wallow in sorrow?" Nowaki asked.

"Fine. Just don't make a scene." Tsunade replied as Nowaki left the room. "Shizune, make sure he doesn't try to run away."

"Yes ma'am!" Shizune said before excusing herself.

"Now that that's out of the way you all are dismissed-" Tsunade was interrupted by an anbu who showed up next to her and whispered something in her ear that caused her eyes to widen. "And you're sure about this? He just turned himself in and came quietly?" She asked getting a nod.

"Is something the matter lady Tsunade?" Sakura asked.

"No you're all dismissed." Tsunade said dismissing everyone. Once they were gone she turned back to the anbu. "Your telling me that not only did you find danzo but danzo just turned himself in with no complaints?"

"Yes, lady fifth. Danzo has willingly turned himself in and is willing to cooperate in exchange for immunity."

Tsunade was completely confuse by this. This was completely out of character for the well-known War monger. She knew all of this was suspicious but right now they finally had danzo in custody which means he can no longer run Root. The anbu asked what they should do now. "Bring him to IT and then to a secure cell. I want surveillance on him 24/7 and no visitors."

"Yes ma'am!" The anbu said before disappearing.

With the now-disbanded team 7 Kakashi said he needed to go back to the hospital to recover leaving Naruto and Sakura by themselves. "Well I need to go find Nowaki to talk about some stuff so I guess I'll see you later for now, Sakura."

"Wait, Naruto, there's something I want to ask you?" Sakura said stopping Naruto. "I. I just want to say... well." Sakura struggle to get the words out until she closed her eyes and shouted. "Congratulations! I hope you do a great job as a Hayabusa Ninja and don't forget to keep in touch with us especially since Kim is going with you!" And with that Sakura rushed off before Naruto could say anything.

Naruto was speechless but smiled nonetheless. "Thanks Sakura." Naruto then went to go find Nowaki who was sitting in a corner depressed while shizune try to explain to him why him going to school is a good thing. She then notice Naruto. "Oh, Naruto. Great timing. Maybe you can do something about Nowaki's mood here, I need to go back to the hospital."

"Sure, I'll see what I can do." Naruto said as the black-haired medical ninja left leaving him alone with Nowaki. "Ok Nowaki, follow me. We need to talk." Naruto said making Nowaki get up and leading him somewhere.

Konoha graveyard

"You took me to a graveyard?" Nowaki began as he and Naruto stud before a grave. "I thought you wanted to cheer me up. Why bring me to a place of depression?"

"Look at the grave." Naruto said pointing his thumb right.

Nowaki did so and his eyes widened in shock as he saw the grave marked with the name Nawaki Senju. "Why would you bring me here?"

"Not sure really. I thought maybe a little reassurance wasn't needed." Naruto said before sitting down on the ground and motioning for Nowaki to do the same. "Listen, I don't really know what I should say about this other than you're wrong and how you thought I would take this. I'm not disgusted by you being an embryo clone of me."

"Why not? Your DNA was used in an experiment, how could you not be disturbed by that?!" Nowaki asked.

"I have a little sister that's a designer baby who I did a blood transfusion with, so if something like that doesn't disturb me how can what you are possibly would?" Naruto said in response.

"Then how about the fact that I'm the son after the second greatest evil person in the village next to danzo! I saw some of your memories too and I know what she did to that Ami girl as well as other things you've been dealing with in regards to people who work with her. For Kami sake she sent an assassin after you and Gaara and almost succeeded! Don't you feel just a little bit Disturbed knowing that your friend with the son of such a person!?" Nowaki shouted out thankfully no one was around to hear.

"No I'm not. And do you know why not? It's because I don't care. I'm not going to judge you for what your mom did. It's like the old saying goes the sins of the parents should not reflect the child especially if that child is nothing like them." Naruto said shocking Nowaki. "You maybe Koharu's son but that doesn't make you like Koharu herself."

"Maybe you feel that way but what about big sis? What she to think of me if she found out I wasn't really her little brother? What if she rejects me and goes back into her depression again?" Was Nowaki's next question.

"But Nowaki, you are her brother. Yeah maybe you're not nawaki the brother she lost all those years ago but she still loved and raised you just the same." Naruto began. "Jiraiya told me how losing her brother and her lover broke her will to continue being a medical Ninja."

"Yeah, but after that fight with Orochimaru she got it back."

"No, I think she already got it back when she met you. It was probably seeing you in danger that finally gave her the push she needed to fight like her old self again." Naruto said reminding Nowaki of that time when Orochimaru attempted to kill them both and Tsunade jump in to save them. He's more than sure that Tsunade fought back as hard as she did that day because she was determined to not lose someone precious to her again. "I'm sure that no matter what your origin story is Tsunade will still love you just that she always did?"

"But... but even if you both except me, what about the rest of The Village? Will they accept just the same?" Nowaki asked hugging his legs together.

Now this is the part where Naruto wasn't so sure. He's not so naive to believe that everyone would except Nowaki for either what he was or who his parents are. Not everyone can accept a person for being a different race or if their parents happened to be criminals. Sure it's unfair to judge people that way but there are some people who do that. "Telling me and Tsunade it's the only thing you should really care about. No one else should have to know unless you're sure they have no problem with it. But I should let you know if anyone should treat you different because of it don't have to deal with Tsunade if not me and I think Tsunade is more than enough of a reason not to." Naruto said joking about the last part that caused both him and Nowaki to laugh. "Ya know just going off topic here I think you going to school will actually be a good thing for you right now."

This mildly annoyed Nowaki. "Then Naruto, what is it that you want to do right now? Are you going to be a Hayabusa Ninja or a fire Capital Ninja?" Nowaki asked.

"Well after a lot of thinking I've decided to become a Hayabusa Ninja but also I've come to another decision. I've decided maybe after three years I hope you come a Slayer. During our week off after our mission in the land of Frost I went to the fire capital for a Slayer meeting and there were things that interest me, like it may be something I might want to do." Naruto said. (We were going to do a vote on this but we said screw it! It'll makes sense After Time skip so try to remember this.) "So what about you? Do you still want to be Hokage even though it wasn't originally 'your' dream."

"I don't know? Maybe? I just don't know right now. Maybe I should hold off on that dream until I know exactly who I am." Nowaki said.

"Or better yet who is you want to be." Naruto said as an option counter. "So then! How about we go out and eat some Ramen, my treat!" Naruto said getting up.

"Ramen? If you want to treat me then take me out for taiyaki chicken, it's much better than Ramen in my opinion!" Nowaki said.

Naruto gasped at what he said. "Are you sure you're genetically related to me? Because what you just said right now makes me question that?"

"What? I prefer chicken over noodles, sue me!" Nowaki said as the two friends laugh.

Later that night, Senju residence

Tsunade was in her room in a sleeping robe at a small table sitting on a sitting mat drinking some sake. After team 7 left her office she got news of danzo turning himself in. A lot of people couldn't believe it and questioned why he would do something that was completely out of character for him.

His only answer was that he wanted to make his case and get a fair trial. His only request was to be imprisoned in the leaf Village where he would have a jury of his peers. However, Tsunade would not Grant him that and instead sentence him to life in prison in the Konoha Strict Correctional Facility and it's only spared the death penalty because he turn himself in for now. Danzo warned Tsunade that to treat an elder of the village this way may have dire consequences but Tsunade just dismiss this.

After all of this was taken care of Unohana and the fire guards left the village their mission completed and can focus on handling the situation in the grass Village and hopefully end it so their ninjas can come home. They won. Hamura is dead, Koharu is defeated along with her criminal Empires, and Danzo is now in prison and with that the Leaf conspirators are no more. So why is it that Tsunade feels like this whole conspiracy still hasn't ended just yet? Could there possibly be others that they may have missed? Where was Jiraiya right now? Why hasn't he come back from his mission from The Sound Village? What is Orochimaru doing right now. So long as her traitorous teammate is out there the leaf Village won't be able to rest easy. But other than that Tsunade had one more problems to deal with. Her talk with Nowaki.

Just then she heard a knock at the door. "Come in." The door opened to reveal it was Nowaki. "Nowaki? Its late, did you want something?"

"Well actually sis.." Nowaki said nervously as he tried to find a courage to continue talking. "There is. I want to tell you about something about me that you probably don't know."

"Is it about your mother?" Tsunade asked getting a look of shock from Nowaki. "Come in and close the door. We have a lot to talk about."

"Yeah...I guess we do." Nowaki said coming in closing the door behind him.

Two month later, Twilight City, evening

It was now December and Naruto was now officially living with his mother again. A week ago he was given a so long party by all his konoha friends and even took a group picture with them. And to his surprise he wasn't the only one leaving the village. Shino announce that his clan with the Hokage's permission decided to do a marriage Alliance but the black Spider Clan with Shino being the groom and Suzumebachi being the bride so Shino will spend at least a year over there as a way to bond with his bride-to-be.

Hinata also Finally Revealed that she Koinzell were a couple to many especially Neji's shock. But her news didn't stop there. She was also leaving The Village to go train in Numbani with Yoruichi. (I know you guys probably wanted an actual scene revealing this, but to save time and avoid headaches we decided to just say them here and do flashback scenes later in the next story that continues this.)

Ino was now next. She asked Retsu to let her become her apprentice meaning she was going to leave the village take down to the Capitol. Sakura was very surprised by this and ask the why not try to become tsunade's apprentice like her. Ino replied that if she did show only be tsunade's number to disciple and would how far ahead Sakura was she wouldn't be able to close the gap between them. They were Rivals after all so Ino felt that she needed to find her own way to get stronger instead of going down the same path Sakura chose. (Which is much better in my opinion. Ino didn't really show any strength growth after the time skip. I mean she was an apprentice of Tsunade and yet other than healing we didn't really see anything at all!)

Naruto couldn't help but notice that Sakura became somewhat quiet after hearing those announcements and asked if she was okay in which she replied that she was just fine and that she was happy for their other friends. Although he could obviously tell she was lying he didn't press on the matter.

And now back in his room Naruto was busy taking off his winter clothes. 3 days ago Medea and Joe's had their wedding and it went well without a hitch. After the ceremony they went on their honeymoon leaving Naruto to watch the house and Ryu in charge of the Hayabusa Village. Naruto just came back from having a snowball fight with some of the guys and was shivering cold until he smelled hot chocolate and turn around to see Marie wearing an orange sweater and blue jeans. "Rough snowball fight with the guys?" She said.

"Yeah." Naruto said taking the cup and thanking her. "So what are you and the others doing downstairs?"

"We're just preparing for Christmas Eve tomorrow to bad Ayane couldn't come but she spending Christmas with her family. Also we have a special early gift for you downstairs. Just wait a few minutes up here and it'll be ready." Olga said as she left the room.

"Ok." Naruto said as he sat down at his desk table looking over a new design for his suit as Anjin.

"Wow. Fancy." Naruto turned around to see Kurama. "Yo Kit, how have you been?"

"I've been fine. But where exactly have you been for the last month-and-a-half?" Naruto asked. He finally got around to getting Kurama out of his seal using the same method Yugito used. But as soon as they completed this Kurama wasted no time leaving and disappearing which nervously made Naruto Wonder did he make a grave mistake. Considering no form of Calamity happened it seemed to be okay.

"Yeah sorry about that. But I was so excited to finally have a body again I was eager to do the first thing that I always wanted to do. Get as far away from the Leaf village as fast as possible." Kurama said in his defense. "As to what I was doing I was just visiting some places that I haven't been to in decades. I tell you more but I can tell your mates are waiting for you downstairs."

"Fine. Merry Christmas Kurama." Said walking out of the room. "Hey girls, so what this present you wanted to- Holy Santa!" Naruto's surprise Christmas gift was Marie, Myucel, Kim, and Wasabi wearing sexy Santa Claus outfits with bows on their chests. Naruto was honestly speechless.

"See, I told you he be speechless." Kim said laughing a bit.

"It not like any of said he wouldn't be." Wasabi said looking somewhere embarrassed being stared at like this.

"So what do you think, Master?" Myucel asked.

"You- You all look good. Very good I mean!" Naruto said trying hard not to get a nosebleed.

"That's good to hear!" Olga said as she walked up to him to press her chest against his. "Soooo. Which present do you want to unwrap first?" She said in a sexy voice.

"Why one at a time when I can open you for all at once." Naruto said making 3 Shadow clones.

The same turned into an erotic scene. (No sex scene however!)

Kim was being spanked by her Naruto clone who was imbuing his hand with chakra to make it hurt as well as pleasurable. If he knew one thing about Kim she was one for rough play.

Wasabi was on top of her clone grinding him as he was caressing her tail. Wasabi loves it when he does that.

Myucel was sitting on her clone's leg in a chair position as he groped her from behind and kissed her every now and again playing with her ear.

Finally Marie and the real Naruto were simply making out with Marie sitting on his lap facing him. She stopped to look at him. "It's good to finally have you back."

Naruto smiled. "I told you didn't I. I'll always come back to you." Naruto said as they continued.

Land of Fire, KSCF, night

In a very highly secure cell in the Konoha strict Correctional Facility Danzo was sitting completely calm until three guards came up. Danzo simply gave them a nod before two of the three did some hand signs and the third one open the cell door and brought before him a crystal ball. "The genjutsu is in place Lord Danzo no one can disturb you now."

"Good. Turn around and cover your ears this call is private." Danzo said before touching the crystal ball and focusing his chakra on it meaning his chakra wasn't sealed.

After a few minutes a small holographic person appeared and it was none other than Orochimaru. "Hello Danzo, I must say you're looking well for a guy who who now lives in a jail cell in the prison surrounded by lava." The snake sannin joked. "But then again that was part of the plan, but I still can't believe you were willing to go this far. Sure Homura was beginning to outlive his usefulness but Koharu was a very powerful Ally to you, even you've admitted that you wouldn't try to trifle with her. If she had managed to kill Tsunade you would have been next on her hit list."

"A risk I needed to take in order to progress things. Although I do admit Koharu was a very powerful Ally she wouldn't have been on board for what we have planned, and we couldn't afford to have her as an enemy given what she knows about me and not possessing the power to take her down. Pitting Tsunade and Unohana against her was the only way to get rid of her. As to my imprisonment, I can run my organization much smoothly without Tsunade trying to hunt me down." Danzo explained. "As for Homura's final usefulness was breaking the solemn Pact with the court without me having to do anything."

"But what of Naruto and Nowaki? I've seen their potential and they will no doubt become threats to the plan." Orochimaru said remembering his fight with his old teammates. "Not to mention Yuyake's reappearance and new affiliation with the court."

"Don't worry about them, I have rat and ferret on those two. One well be in Twilight City the other in Ember City." Danzo reassured his cohort. "As for Menma he is right now an unknown a variable. What I know of him is only his three months as a Shinobi before the mission in the medieval Nations. There's no telling what he's learn now, so I'll need to send someone to test his power."

"Mission in the medieval Nations? Intriguing! What was the mission?" Orochimaru asked with danzo saying it was a classified mission that he didn't know the full details of except one thing. Homura was mostly involved with this one. "Then I'll leave it to you then. I'll keep doing my part here until phase 3." Danzo then informed him about Jiraiya and his attempt to infiltrate the sound Village. "I know. In fact I was counting on him coming here. Last time he had the advantage because we were in the land of Fire where I'm a wanted man. But he's in my world now and no one leaves the sound Village without my permission." Orochimaru said in a dark Sinister tone. (Just in case some of you forgot. the sound Village is in New Foundation not the elemental Nations)

"That's good to hear. Jiraiya is all yours I remember Tsunade is mine." Danzo said as the guard that gave him the crystal ball said that and they can't stay any longer or risk unwanted company. "I must go. Until next time." Once the call ended the three guards took the crystal ball and undid the illusion leaving Danzo by himself. "The destruction of the leaf Village is inevitable but I will rebuild it stronger than ever and I alone will be it's King. And I will let Tsunade live just long enough to see her grandfather's Village burned to the ground." Danzo said with an evil smile.

Aaannnd Done!

Here is the Final Chapter everyone! and this marks the Second Story I've ever finished. Like with my first story I enjoyed writing every chapter and writing every Ark including the lemon scenes which was my first time doing them.

For what I'm planning to do next I'm going to be doing two Mini stories while this story takes a bit of a nap. These stories are "Green brother" and "Menma's prequel". The first one is a Naruto and Hyper neptunian crossover while the second one is a prequel story based around Yuyake/Menma because I know some of you are interested in knowing more about him. I'll be working in between the stories although considering I work and be tired it might be difficult on some days but I'm more than determined to do it. Now let's have magilou have her say before I sign us off.

"Thanks! Well what can I say I'm glad I was able to be a part of this even though I came in very late. Well I'm mostly here to tell you guys what to expect after the time skip. The story will most likely continue in two different stories with each one centered around one character, one being Naruto and the other being Nowaki. There might even be a third story continuing on with Yuyake, not confusing it with the prequel story! Either way I'll be narrating in only one of those stories so until then good night everybody!"

Thank you all for your support,make sure to leave your final review, and I'll see you all next time!... as the story continues.
