Epilogue

It has been a year since Naruto saved Yuuki from death. One year since Naruto proposed to Asuna and she accepted. Six months later, a week after the end of the school, Naruto and Asuna were married. It was a grand wedding, where everyone of their friends were invited. Naruto had Kirito as his Best Man, while Asuna chose Lisbeth as her Best Woman. Sinon, Klein, Agil and his wife, Silica, Thinker, Yulier, Sasha, Yolko, Caynz, Argo and Naruto's entire research team. Even Yuuki and Yui were there, watching the event through cameras. Everyone agreed that the couple couldn't be more happier about it, as they were literally glowing with happiness. Naruto took Asuna on a honeymoon trip to Luxembourg, which they spent travelling around and spending time with each other. Once they returned to Japan, Naruto bought a large mansion for Asuna, along with anything she could ever want. And during the end of August, another wedding happened.

Kirito and Shino confessed to each other of their feelings during May and they decided to get married before school begun. Naruto was Kirito's Best Man, while Asuna was Shino's. But they weren't the only ones who got a relationship. Klein managed to find a girlfriend, in the form of the GameMaster who created Skuld. Naruto introduced them and they soon started dating. Lisbeth dated a boy from school, while Silica started to have crushes. Love was in the air and everyone was happy.

The group still played ALO whenever they could, with Naruto giving Yuuki the special position of being the Fairy Princess, as well as controlling the Boss Avatars of Floors 90 to 99. As for Floor 100, when the time came, Naruto would personally fight them, as he created a rule that had the Final Boss be accessible only during specific hours of days. During Christmas, they all had a feast in the real world, which moved on to the Virtual World. There, they spent time with each of their friends.

Speaking of the Virtual World, Naruto's work had progressed very well, to the point where he would leave the military at the age of twenty-one instead of twenty-two. Plans for Naruto's ascension to commanding several Virtual Reality-related companies were already in progress. And if he could make this companies a major power, Minato and Kushina promised that Naruto would take over NUC by the age of thirty, which Naruto couldn't be happier about.

Naruto thought of all the events that transpired to his life after he placed a single helmet on his head. After he fought a giant Kobold. After he fell in love with a charismatic girl. After the Shadow Blade was born. And he wouldn't want it any other way. He loved the way his life turned and was thankful for the fact that despite some rough times, he and his precious people were at peace. He hoped that nothing would arise to threaten them. But if that day came, Shadow Blade would rise from the shadows and fight, believe it!

Sniff! Why…. why am I so indecisive! On one hand, I hate it when a story is left unfinished. But when I finish a story, I still hate the fact for doing so. Now, I got a desire to watch some Dragonball, as this feeling was similar to what I felt on DBGT. Sure, GT may have been a total brain-whacking series, but the ending was without a doubt my most favourite part of it. Heck, as I wrote this epilogue, the music of the scene was playing in my mind. Anyways, enough rumbling. Hope you people enjoyed reading this story, as much as I did making it. And if you didn't, I understand. Just don't whine about it. Anyway, the story is over. For the final time, I don't know if I will make the PA. In case I do, I left the epilogue with reason for a possible sequel. So, now, let's get to the next story.

It is called Naruto: The Dragon Warrior. It can be considered a Naruto/Ninja Gaiden crossover, with many items and characters from the series, not to mention the fact Naruto is a Hayabusa and not related to Minato. It is a Harem, with main pairing not revealed. The 2nd Main Pairing is Naruto/Kushina. It takes places in an Alternate Timeline, where a war breaks out. It is of course an Uber-Godlike Naruto, but without a Bijuu. However, he will have the Rinnegan. More will be explained in the story itself.

Now, next week school begins and this week I will have a prep week with tests at my tutors, so I will need to , no time to start writing. I will begin the week after that, first week of school. I will be updating one chapter per week, but if one week I can't update, please bear with me. Also, since updates will be less frequent, my Twitter will be more useful, as I can update there as well. Thanks once again to the guy who suggested it, I remember your name, but when I reply to someone or bring up someone, I do it anonymously. Now, I have gotten a humongous amount of suggestions, it's not even funny anymore. I know you people asked me about stories, but I would like to first do the Stories I thought of. If your suggestions are similar to my personal thoughts, you're in luck, as I might be able to bend my story a bit. Now, I think my next story will end around December or so. I already know what my next story will be. However, you're free to send me suggestions. Just know that by now, I have a waiting line for stories hahaha. Until next time, Thunderito out!
