Chapter 15: Epilogue

It's been two months since that fateful party. No one seemed to notice a connection between the night's events and the news broadcast that aired the next day. To the public, there was a socialite party in the night and a government success the next morning.

Television programs and radio shows were cut short by a nation-wide government-issued broadcast that declared the official destruction of the terrorist organization, Akatsuki. No details pertaining to the tactics used to take them down were given besides the fact that the Konoha Intelligence Agency had collaborated with the Sunagakure Intelligence Agency, much to everyone's surprise.

The skies look good for our four young socialites. With the Akatsuki threat gone, KIA was convinced that Naruto Uzumaki no longer required around-the-clock surveillance and Kakashi Hatake was promoted to become an elite operative, working alongside Anko Mitarashi and reporting directly to Tsunade. Now free to do what he pleases, Naruto is having the time of his life, and can often be seen around town with his girlfriend, Ino Yamanaka.

After much contemplation, Ino signed a record deal with her parents, and her first album went multi-platinum. She still lives in her parent's estate in West Konoha Hills, recording from the family's in-home music studio. Her music has been featured in many films directed and produced by the Harunos.

Sakura Haruno continues to be the independent woman she is, continuing to live on her own in her parent's building. She has taken up car collecting, and can often be seen visiting car shows all around Konoha. The pink-haired socialite still prefers to drive her white M3 convertible, though, and keeps it in pristine condition. Sakura still refuses to become an actress, due to her bizarre phobia of the paparazzi. She will never forget the day when her current boyfriend, Sasuke Uchiha, saved her from the swarm of the dreaded cameramen. In fact, she still dreams about that day.

Sasuke, loyal to his kin as ever, still visits his family's graves every week. Upon his request and dedication, Sasuke has erected a small Uchiha Memorial stone on the highway where his brother's car crashed. This stone, in the shape of the family's crest, can be seen on the highway just outside Konoha, and is accompanied by a small inscription outlining the events of that crash. With the aid of Naruto, Sakura, and now Ino, Sasuke has found peace and happiness.

All is well in Konoha. The war against Sound has been won and troops are coming home. Women and children embrace the men filing out from military planes with cried of joy and relief.

Life does not always turn out the way we would like it to. There will always be trials and tribulations, and things may not go the way you expect. Good and bad will always coexist, there's no changing that. The world we live in is sometimes unfair, and we must accept that. (Konohamaru certainly has, and look!, he's got a girlfriend - his age - now.) Life is fast, so enjoy it while it lasts, and live it to the fullest.

... BUT WAIT! Modern Day Konoha is not over yet! The sequel to this story, called Modern Day Konoha 2, is already up on my page! Please check it out!
