Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto

The Hidden Sound Village is shown, but unlike the way it had been long ago under the reign of Orochimaru, it was a whole new different place and setting.

People are shown walking around at peace, going about their daily business as they go. Unlike before they show no fear as they went about their lives.

The place had changed as it had grown and was peaceful and prosperous under the guidance of The Otokage who had lead it over the past ten years. Oto had doubled in size has more people came to the young village.

Merchants from around the land had come to sell their wares and setup shop as people looked on at the bazaar as they viewed them with interest.

Elsewhere Sound Shinobi are shown teaching and instructing the next batch of Ninjas. Unlike before were they had been told to fight or die, they instructed them and helped with their weaknesses and showing them the proper way instead of leaving them to fend for themselves.

"No, No!" The redhead shouted at the group before her, some younger than eight years old. "Hold your dang kunai like this," Tayuya having to remind herself of how young they was and couldn't curse like she usually did. "There, that's better." Tayuya told them as they were getting the hand of it. Looking on at the class she was teaching Tayuya watched on as she instructed them in the basics of gripping and throwing.

Later on at break she took a sip of tea and looked at her watch. "Guess I'll see if he wants to do something freakin' special now that we're off." She muttered and got up and exited the room.

"There you are asshole." She called out to the person who calmly stood against the wall. "I'm off you're off. What the hell do you wanna do?" She asked the shades wearing Leaf Jonin who stood there silently and she snorted. "Fine I'll decide, if you wasn't great in bed I'd probably not even bothered to ever learn your name you know that?" She told him and he allowed a small chuckle to escape him used to her antics and attitude knowing it was her way telling him she was happy he had came here to visit her.

Shino Aburame took Tayuya by the hand and the two went on going through the building as they made their way.

Looking on out a window at from The Compound that he lived in, The Nidaime Otokage watched on as Otogakure had flourished over the years due to its relationship with Konoha. The two countries along with Rain ruled under Konan and Suna ruled by Gaara having established a relationship with each other and working together for the benefit of all.

Kimimaro Kaguya watched on as the people went about their lives. Looking on at them

He heard a noise and turned and he grinned as he saw a pink haired woman enter the room, having returned from The Hospital done for the day. The woman he had been married to for over ten years

"Hi." Sakura Haruno or now Kaguya by marriage, his beloved wife, told him and she walked over and kissed him and he returned it gently. "How was your day?" She asked him playfully removing his hat letting his white hair fall out..

"Good, dealt with some forms about a farmer in the village asking for recruits to help tend his fields since his back is acting up due to age and also making sure that The Fuma Clan don't go overboard with their target practice they have." He told Sakura and she smiled at him.

"My day went good as well, I was busy with checking the new antidote we're working on and once its finished we'll be able to administer and make it accessible. Tsunade is checking it as well and she's in favor of it also.

Kimimaro looked on at Sakura, the two still having the same feelings of love for one another that they had the same day when they won their freedom.

He noticed that someone wasn't with her, someone who entered their lives a while back bringing even more joy to their blissful lives.

"Where is she?" He asked referring to a certain someone and Sakura smiled at him.

"At the usual place, she's there again. She's almost rooted to that spot." Sakura told Kimimaro and he smiled as well as he wasn't surprised that she would be there. "Naruto, TenTen, and Yusuke will be here tomorrow." She told him and he nodded as he already knew. The Hokage Naruto, his wife, and their son would be coming here to visit tomorrow and meet them. Naruto and TenTen had been married as well the boy inheriting his mother's accuracy with weapons and his father's youthful wildness. "I hope she and Yusuke get along better than the time we was at Konoha three months ago. Of course you're partly to blame for what happened." She teased him.

"Not my fault she listened to me when I suggested to her if he got too close for comfort and was annoying her to dump his ramen in the trash." Kimimaro replied and Sakura giggled recalling the incident that had happened. Naruto had taken his son's side over his loss while TenTen had struggled not to laugh knowing how much Ramen meant to the both of them. Sakura had almost thought they would go to war over what had happened with what their daughter had done.

Kimimaro wrapped his arms around Sakura who smiled back at him as jade stared into emerald eyes. The two looked on out over The Village which was their home, Sound apart of her as much as The Leaf was now. She contacted and talked to her friends and family everyday, making sure to hear from them and talk and hear about what they were going through. Kakashi was proud of her with all she had done and achieved, Ino was her best friend still and Sakura with her new abilities after the reunion had snapped a tree in two and told her that could happen to her if she made remarks about her forehead again. All in all, things had turned out not exactly the way she had expected when she was little, but she wouldn't trade it for anything in the world as she was in arms of the man she loved.

Naruto kissed TenTen softly as he met her as he returned from a meeting with The Council and talking via long distance with Gaara in Suna who was with his wife Hinata. "Where's Yusuke?" He asked her looking around for their son who he half expected to have tackled him the moment he stepped in through the door as he always did.

"He's in timeout, I caught him with something he wasn't suppose to have and not allowed to be with any of his friends until I discuss something with you." She said and held out a certain orange book and Naruto's eyes widened a bit at what she had in her hand. "Mind telling me how I found this under his bed today?" She asked him with a smirk.

"I swear TenTen-chan, I gave up that stuff when we got married." Naruto said to her holding his arms up in front of him in defense. "Kakashi's the one who writes that stuff anymore. He must've left it here the other day he came over."

"Yeah right." TenTen said to him The Weapons Master who had Samehada the famed Seven Swordsmen weapon hanging on the wall who had her hair down her back as she rarely had it in buns anymore. "Though I suppose after reading it myself me and you could try the positions and techniques in page 162. That does sound interesting to try out." She said with a wink to him and he blushed deeply at her and she turned and walked away swaying her hips teasingly at him with a smile.

Naruto watched her go and was tempted to chase after her when he spotted his son's door and approaching it opened it and peered inside.

A young boy with messy blonde hair laid on the bed on his belly. Toys and ninja in training knickknacks he had laid scattered on the room as it was a mess. Naruto smiled and went in and walked over to his son who was taking a nap careful not to stub his feet on anything.

Yusuke Uzumaki laid asleep on the bed drooling slightly causing his father to smile at the sight as it reminded him of how he used to sleep. He reached over and wiped his mouth as the boy snored softly.

Smiling Naruto kissed Yusuke gently on the cheek looking on at his son. The boy moaned softly and yawned before turning his head over and Naruto smiled at how adorable he looked.

He heard a soft noise and saw TenTen mentioning to him to come here and he quietly walked over to his wife and shut the door letting their son sleep in peace

Kimimaro stroked Sakura's back softly as the two looked on as they continued to watch on at The Hidden Sound Village. Watching on at the future the two of them had built together with their own hands. As it had become more than even what they had thought it would become. Guren the last wielder of the Crystal Kekkai Genkai was spotted walking with a now adult Yukimaru, the foul air of Orochimaru that had been synonymous with Otogakure for so long was gone. All symbols and markings of his work was gone.

The two smiled as they watched on and Kimimaro tilted her head up staring at her as she looked on at him with love in her eyes at her husband which he returned to her.

He kissed her on the lips and Sakura returned it as they shared a passionate kiss with one another, saying no words as they let their hearts say all that needed to be said between them.

A young girl five years of age with light strawberry pink hair sat on the bench in the woods outside the village as a pair of rabbits and squirrels nestled up next to her and she patted and played with them and a robin landed on her shoulder and she smiled and stroked its head gently as it chirped softly feeling her touch.

The girl also had a pair of red dots on her forehead as well, the symbol and gene of The Kaguya Clan that she had been born with. She came here nearly everyday and played with the animals. Her father and mother telling her this was a special place.

The place was where Kimimaro had buried and laid to rest Juugo after he sacrificed himself to save Sakura. Laying his best friend and burying him there. The place had become a haven for animals that nestled there as nothing disturbed them. Even deer was seen at the place.

It had been said by some of the inhabitants of Oto, that every now and then, one of them would believe that they saw an orange haired boy seated there on the bench as the animals would be with him, but when they looked again, he'd be gone as if he hadn't been there at all. She had thought she had seen him sometimes but never could see him twice in the same place.

The young girl stroked a Rabbit's fur softly as it twitched its nose up at her. She had been told by her parents that The Hokage of Konoha and his Wife who was The Head Weapons Instructor and their son would be coming to visit tomorrow and to be on her best behavior. There was talk as well her Granma and Grampa would be visiting soon and she was hoping she would see them as they doted on her and she loved them as well. Just as long as she didn't have to stay with that weirdo in green with the strange eyebrows and his son who already had them as well.

The girl sat there looking on as she had her arms laying out before her. Suddenly she began to feel a tingling sensation in her right arm. Confused she looked at it as she felt like something was pricking, but not into it, but out of it the way she felt like.

She reached towards where the spot was and pinched it and felt like something was wanting to come out. Curiosity getting the better of her she grasped it and began to pull.

Her green eyes widened at what she saw coming out of her skin, it looked like a bone as she pulled it out of her arm as it was half a foot long. She held it as it gleamed before her and the point looked sharp. She looked on at it in surprise wondering how that happened. She put it against her arm and pushed and saw it go back in.

Shocked and Excited at what she just saw and happened, Midori Kaguya got up and ran to show her Mother and Father what she could now do.

A/N: That's the final chapter. Thank you for reading this.
