(And here we are guys. It's been a long run, but I've finally completed this. It's been fun and enjoyable and am glad plenty of you found this entertaining. Enjoy the finale.)

After the whole war against Zetsu and Orochimaru, everyone was glad they were victorious. However not every shinobi came out of this mess in one piece. Some were badly injured, others disabled, and quite a few had lost their lives. Later on, all the shinobi and leaders form the five great nations were gathered together outside a memorial to honor their fallen comrades. Many were saddened from close comrades to family, but luckily had others to lean onto for support.

As the Five Kage stood before the memorial, Tsunade spoke up, "And now a word from Avatar Naruto."

Naruto walked up to the Five Kage and spoke out to the people, "Today we acknowledge several losses from comrades to family members. These ninja gave their lives to protect not only their own homes, but the planet as well from the threat of a terrible creature that was very well the source of all the evils in the ninja land for the past centuries. Now the pain we all feel at this reminds me and all of us that while we may come from different nations and villages, and speak in different tongues. Our hearts beat as one. In light of these events, the bonds we've forged through this Allied Shinobi and Bender Alliance will be more important than ever. Zetsu and even Orochimaru and the Akatsuki are gone, but the evils of this world have not been extinguished. For just like every life cycle of the Avatar, evil comes in an array of forms. And evils like that will stop at nothing to bring down everything we've all worked hard for. So let's all make a promise to help build a better future of peace for ourselves and for future generations. Do so and our comrades will not have died in vain."

Every shinobi present felt moved by Naruto's speech, especially the elder Benders. They knew Naruto spoke the truth, for after these events they all felt different. Fighting side by side with shinobi from nations they always felt hostility for has opened their eyes and saw no matter how much hate they had for whatever reasons, in the end they all had something in common. The world was their home and they would lay their lives on the line to protect it.

A few days later, after everyone was rested and healed they were all in the Spirit World at Iroh's tea shop celebrating and getting to know the spirits of the world. Everyone was enjoying Iroh's special tea recipe, especially the Benders.

Iroh spoke to the last Avatar Team, "It has been so very long since you all came here to see me."

"Well, you know how things have been." Rohan admitted.

"We're just glad the tea here still tastes good." Bolin added.

Chouji was stuffing himself on food, "Good thing about spirit world is you don't gain weight no matter how much you eat."

"Too bad you can't lose weight here." Shikamaru noted.

Over by the five Kage, Onoki spoke to the group, "Iroh certainly had the right idea to let his spirit remain here for life. Maybe I should look into trying it."

"If you can even meditate here yourself." A replied, as the Kage laughed, while Onoki grumbled.

Meanwhile, Sakura, Ino, Ming, Mitsuki, Naomi, Yami, and Yuzuru were looking around, "There's no sign of Naruto." Ming noticed.

"Where could he have gone to?" Sakura wondered.

"You're looking for Naruto?" Mako asked, as he and the former Avatar team approached.

"Yeah. Have you seen him?" Hinata inquired.

"He went outside the shop for some air. We were actually going to see him ourselves." Bolin said.

"Well, let's go see him together." Naomi said, as the group left the shop.

And it was as Bolin said. Naruto stood by a cliff side looking out into the distance of the Spirit World in nostalgia. He suddenly heard Mako's voice from behind, "Feeling nostalgic right now?"

Naruto looked back seeing his old Bending instructors and his lovers, "I just feel as if a weight's off my shoulders right now. Zetsu and Orochimaru are gone. I can finally relax for once."

"It's true with all that's happened you've been dealing with a lot on your plate." Opal agreed.

"But it's ok now." Mitsuki said.

"The Ninja lands and even the other lands out there are safe." Yami reminded him.

"Thanks to you." Naomi said.

Naruto shook his head while smiling, "This wasn't just my victory. It was a team effort from everyone."

The group smiled, until another voice spoke up, "It certainly was."

Suddenly appearing before them was Avatar Korra. The teens and old Benders looked surprised, as Bolin spoke, "Korra?"

Korra smiled at her old friends, "It's good to see you guys again."

"Korra!" Mako cheered, as the girl embraced the brothers.

"If I knew abck when we were teens how old you two would grow up to be I would've made quite the joke out of it." Korra teased, as the boys chuckled.

"Korra!" the Airbending siblings cheered, as they embraced their old friend.

"Wow. I remember how small you four were, but now look at you." Korra looked them over.

"I may be old, but I still got my looks." Meelo replied.

"Of course." Korra humored him.

Opal embraced her next, "We've missed you so much, Korra."

"And I missed you all to." Korra agreed, before Asami approached her looking just as happy.

"Korra." she said with tears of joy.

"Asami," Korra smiled, as she embraced her, "No matter how much you've aged you're still lovely to me."

Asami smiled and kissed Korra's forehead. The former Avatar looked at the teen girls, "So you're the girls that's fallen for Naruto? Sakura, Ino, Hinata, Ming, Naomi, Mitsuki, Yami, and Yuzuru."

"It's so wonderful to meet you, Korra." Hinata began.

"Yeah. A real big honor." Naomi agreed.

Korra nodded and turned to Naruto, "Me and the rest of our past lives are very proud of you, Naruto. You have done the world a great deal of service."

At that moment, Naruto's body glowed with the markings of Raavaatu who spoke, "Yes. For like all Avatar's that came before him, he has done what may have felt like the impossible."

Korra giggled, "Like how he fused both Raava and Vaatu to create you."

"Indeed." the spirit replied before going dormant again.

The former Avatar spoke to Naruto, "And it's like you said, Naruto. Zetsu and Orochimaru may be gone, but there will one day be others who wish to bring harm to the ninja land and beyond. But you said so yourself, as long as everyone sticks together and does their part to make the future bright and safe for the next generation it will be at an age of peace until the next Avatar is needed."

"And you can be sure I'll be there to guide the next one." Naruto promised.

"We all will." Sakura promised too.

"Then I wish all of you the best of luck in the years to come." Korra said, before vanishing.

"Goodbye, Korra." Asami said, as she and her old friends smiled.

They decided to give Naruto and the girls some space and headed back into the tea shop. The teens looked out into the distance, as Naruto spoke, "We've all made some history worth remembering."

"We sure did." Ming agreed.

"And we're sure to make more history from this point on." Sakura said.

"Wonder what the future does hold for us?" Ino wondered.

"I wonder too." Hinata replied.

"Well, whatever it does hold, we'll all face it together." Naruto said.

Naomi then went to Naruto and kissed him much to everyone's shock, "Hey, no fair getting first shot, Naomi!" Yami protested.

"I like to make a move as quickly as possible." Naomi teased.

"Sneaky." Yuzuru said, as she went and kissed Naruto.

"Hey, don't leave me out!" Yami called, as she took a kiss next.

"I'm not losing to any of you!" Ino went and kissed Naruto next.

"One side, pig!" Sakura shoved her out of the way and kissed Naruto.

"My turn!" Mitsuki kissed Naruto.

"Me next!" Ming took a turn to kiss Naruto.

Hinata took the last kiss from Naruto leaving the boy smiling, "You girls are the best thing that could've happened to me... Well, second only to finding out I was the Avatar, but you get the point." The girls giggled, as they all sat and looked out into the spirit world feeling things were going to be all right.

(Twenty Five Years later)

The village of Konoha had looked more modern with skyscrapers added to it, monorail systems set up, and all sorts of new technological improvements courtesy of Future Industries in Republic City. The one thing that truly remained the same was the Hokage monument which had two new additional faces added to it. Next to Tsunade's face was Kakashi's. After the defeat of Zetsu, Tsunade decided it was time to step down and nominated Kakashi as her successor. Next to Kakashi's face was who else but Naruto's. After Kakashi's reign lasting a number of yeas he finally decided to step down and pass the mantle onto Naruto who had achieved his lifelong dream.

Speaking of whom, Naruto himself who was in his early thirties was using Metal Bending on a metal board to surf across the village with Soreth his dragon partner flying behind him. Naruto had grown taller, and had trimmed his hair to make it look neater. Soreth had grown a bit bigger but wasn't enormous size.

As the two flew across the village, many civilians waved and cheered for their Avatar Hokage. Naruto responded with a smile and salute to his people, before he and Soreth headed to a training ground. They stopped and saw Sakura, Hinata, Ino, Ming, Yami, Yuzuru, Mitsuki, and Naomi were waiting. Each of the girls had grown into beautiful ladies while also kept up their own ninja/bending training.

"Hey, girls." he greeted them.

"Hi, Naruto." Hinata greeted, as she and the others each gave him a kiss.

"How was your meeting with Gaara, Darui, Kurotsuchi, and Choujuro?" Yami asked.

"Worked out well. And next week we're starting a weekly card game held at either village. Still trying to determine the cycle, though," he joked, and the girls laughed, "So how're the kids?"

"Well, they're sticking to their training just as you told them." Sakura answered.

"Good to know." He replied, as they walked along the grounds and saw a group of kids were practicing bending and even jutsu. It was composed of nine kids, five boys and four girls all of which who were twelve years old.

The first boy had blonde spiky hair, and two whisker marks on his cheeks making him look similar to Naruto. He was Boruto, the son of Naruto and Hinata. Second was a girl with short bright reddish hair and a face similar to Sakura's. She was Sakura and Naruto's daughter Senka. Next was a boy with bleach blonde hair done up short. He was Naruto and Ino's son Noru. The next one was a pair of twins a boy and a girl with dark skin and dark hair. The girl's hair was long and tied into a ponytail like Korra used to wear her hair, and the boy's hair was spiked. They were known as Riku and Rika, the children of Naruto and Ming.

Next was a boy with short black hair with a green streak dyed into it. He was Taro, the son of Yami and Naruto. Practicing next to him looked like a female version of him, with the same black hair color only it was in twin pigtail. She was Reiri, Naruto and Yuzuru's daughter. There was a girl with chestnut colored hair. She was Asaki, the daughter of Mitsuki and Naruto. Finally the last of the children was a boy with long black hair. His name was Roku, son of Naruto and Naomi.

Boruto was currently practicing the shadow clone jutsu while also practicing Waterbending. Riku and Rika had also been performing a tag team Waterbending trick. Senka along with Asaki were sparing with their Earthbending. Reiri and Taro much like the twins were working on tag team tricks with their Airbending. Finally Noru and Roku were sparing against each other while practicing their Firebending.

Watching from the sidelines was a younger girl with bluish hair like Hinata with straight bangs and a hime-cut. Her hair flares out on the sides and back and she has an ahoge hairpiece atop her head. She was Himawari, the youngest daughter of Naruto and Hinata. She applauded on their performance, "Yay!" she cheered.

As the adults approached, Ino spoke up, "Take five, everyone!"

The kids stopped their training, and saw their moms and most importantly their father, "Dad!" they cheered, as they ran over.

"Hey, guys." Naruto greeted his children, who gathered around him.

"You're finally back!" Rika cheered.

"How's Uncle Gaara?" Reiri asked.

"He's doing just fine." Naruto assured her.

"How much have you seen us practicing?" Boruto wondered.

"Enough to know you kids are really getting the hand of not only your bending but your ninja moves as well."

"Thanks, dad." Roku replied.

"And it's nice you got back here with no Avatar business to hold you up." Senka added.

"Yeah, that'd be a first." Boruto grumbled, only to have his head ruffled by Naruto.

"Hey, you know peace isn't always easy to maintain, especially when you're the Avatar and the Hokage."

"Daddy!" Himawari called, "I'm starting to know how to Earthbend like you, see?" she concentrated and was able to manipulate some rocks on the ground.

"Good job, Himawari, keep practicing in your spare time and you'll bending bigger rocks." Naruto smiled.

"All right!" she cheered.

"But I want you guys to not only be prepared with your bending as a means to protect your village and family, but to prepare you for something much bigger in the future."

"Much bigger, dad?" Riku asked.

Naruto nodded, "One of these days I will be gone from this earth, and the Avatar cycle will begin anew in the form of another bender. And when that happens I want you guys to be the one to train the next Avatar in mastering the four elements."

"How will we know who the next Avatar will be in the future?" Taro asked.

"It could be anybody, but knowing the cycle of the Avatar, the next one will be born as a Firebender."

"Firebender, got it." Asaki gave a thumbs up.

"But you're not going to be going soon are you dad?" Roku asked.

Naruto chuckled, as he ruffled his head, "Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere any time soon," The kids sighed in relief, "And even when I'm gone, I will return in a way. Much like my previous lives I will become part of the new Avatar. So when you find it you will have found me too."

The kids smiled, and they heard roaring sounds. They looked over at Soreth and Spitfire, and more dragon kids that flew over to them. Each kids held a dragon hatchling, as the adults laughed, "And you better make sure to train your dragons well. Because they'll be of great help to you in the future. Right, boy?" he asked Soreth who happily roared.

The family laughed, as Naruto looked up and envisioned Korra and the Last Team Avatar knowing they're still watching over him, and some day he will be watching over the next Avatar along side his past lives.

(And that's a wrap. I hope you guys enjoyed my fic. I had a choice between writing Naruto in the future with kids or the next Avatar making contact with him. I settled for the kids option. I could've done both, but then I wouldn't wanna overload you with meeting Naruto's kids and suddenly jumping further into the future to see the next Avatar. But anyway I'm glad to see plenty of you enjoyed this. I'm not going to get into writing a new Naruto fic just yet. I want to try and break my impulsive nature to immediately start a new fic, especially if it's a Naruto one. Just be patient and keep a look out for when I launch another Naruto fic. You've been a terrific audience as always and I appreciate it. Thank you and see you next time.)
