Happy New Years Everyone!

May this year be greater than the one before. . . God knows how easy that'll be.

But enough about that, let us enjoy the first update I have made this year by ending this story.

So before we begin.

Now without further ado, let's begin.

A blast filled the air as the house shook from the vibrations. Sasuke looked out the kitchen window to see smoke out in the distance. He continued to stare out the window for a moment before shaking his head as he went back to reading the paper in his hands. That is until the second much louder explosion that knocked several items around the house over made him sigh as he got up to see what was going on.

The second he walked out of the house he was welcomed to the sight of another explosion with various colors illuminating the distance. He let out a sigh as he began making his way to the explosions as he already knew who the culprits were.

After walking for some time he made it to a clearing to find Yang messing around with some fireworks.

"Mother please, if you're not going to read the manual at least just hire an expert who knows how to make fireworks" Saika pleaded as she holding all of her siblings back from her mother experimenting with fireworks.

"Oh please, I know better than anyone how to blow stuff up. All you need is the right amount-" Yang didn't finish that sentence as the firework she was messing with blew up in a various arrays of colors and sparkles. Once the firework display died down it revealed Yang covered in black soon and her hair on fire, though that last bit is quite normal for her.

Sasuke shook his head as he walked towards his wife "Yang, what are you doing?" Sasuke asked as he could already take a good guess at what his wife is doing.

"I'm modifying our fireworks to have more of an 'oomph' to it" Yang answered happily as she began to pat the soot off her body.

"I tried to stop her but you know mother" Saika stated tiredly as Sasuke knew full well how stubborn Yang is once she's got her mind set on something.

"Hey, at least I did it away from the house. Especially with those decorated bamboo shoots you placed in front of our house" Yang pointed out as Sasuke had to agree that she was considerate that she did it away from the ornaments he placed around the house for new years.

"True, but why are the kids here" Sasuke retorted as he gestured to all the kids who waved.

"Oh, they wanted to watch" Yang answered simply as Sasuke let out a sigh.

"Yang, stop messing with the fireworks before you run out of them. We need them for tonight remember" Sasuke said as Yang pouted before letting out a huff and gave him a nod before turning to her oldest child.

"Saika, help me pack all this up. No wait, help me move all these in place so we don't have to do it later" Yang said as Saika let out a tired sigh before motioning her siblings to her go back home with their father. They all grumbled, wanting to help place the fireworks but reluctantly agreed when Saika gave them a stern look as they walked over to their father.

Sasuke shook his head as he led his kids back to the house as they bounced on their heels in anticipation of tonight.

Sasuke let out a small laugh at what he saw, half of his kids were now asleep.

It was barely past Eleven P.M. and most of his kids had already fallen asleep. The rest were struggling to stay awake to see the new year and more importantly the fireworks Yang has in store.

"That's just adorable" Mikoto said from her spot from one of the picnic tables that had been placed in an open field as she looked at the sleeping kids all huddled up together.

Sasuke's parents with the rest of his family and extended family, along with his team came to celebrate new years with them. They were all at a clearing near Sasuke's home as everyone who came helped set up a picnic to celebrate together as they counted down the last hours of the year.

Mostly with the the grown ups drinking and regaling everyone tales of what they did the past year while the children were just playing with one another. Excluding Saika and Tsuki who were watching over the kids as they talked about what their New Year Resolutions were.

"All I'm saying is that it would never have happened if you actually paid attention" Akio said slamming his bottle of beer on the table.

"First off, I was watching. I just felt it be funnier if you got hit by that tree branch that sent you flying ten feet back" Rhea said taking a sip of her white wine.

"I knew it!" Akio shouted as he slammed his fist on the picnic table as it caused several empty bottles to fall over.'

"Will you two quit it already, it happened a year ago. Let it go" Ivy said taking a sip of her red wine.

"It happened last week and the year isn't over yet!" Akio shouted in frustration.

"Semantics" Ivy said waving him off as Sasuke shook his head as he could already tell the alcohol was already affecting his team.

Sasuke looked over to see the rest of his family talking to one another. The closest being Glynda talking to Shisui.

"So Itachi decided to punish the kid for his blatant disregard of respecting the professor" Glynda began as Shisui just shook his head.

"I can already tell this is going to end horribly" Shisui said resting his head against the palm of his hand.

"The fact the kid is going through therapy says as much" Glynda stated bluntly as she took a sip of her gin

"Should I be concerned?" Shisui asked warily.

"Not really, we weren't sued for this incident" Glynda said bluntly as Shisui couldn't help but laugh awkwardly at the lack of concern, probably from the alcohol she was drinking.

Sasuke rolled his eyes at the conversation as he listened in on Itachi and their father.

"All I'm saying is what's wrong with a forcing a kid to walk a tightrope while carrying a bucket of ice on his head" Itachi said before eating the dango he had in hand.

"Maybe the fact the kid had a crippling fear of heights and you set the line on fire" Fugaku deadpanned.

"The rope was made of steel, it wasn't going to fall apart. Plus there a net below that I hidden from view to catch the kid if he did fall, not to mention a huntsmen shouldn't be afraid of heights, who knows where our line of work will send us" Itachi explained while his father just sighed at his son's actions he did this year.

Sasuke couldn't help but shake his head as he turned to see Amber talking to Mikoto as the former was laughing hysterically.

"So-so this guy tried to flirt with me, knowing full well Shisui was standing behind me and just straight up started using the most corniest one-liners I have ever heard. Shisui didn't even do anything because he was in hysterics when the man just kept calling me stupid dead flower because he thought he was saying something romantic in another language" Amber said laughing as she told Mikoto the story.

"What happened next" Mikoto asked amusingly.

"So the fool thought he was wooing me because I wasn't saying anything and tried to wrap his arm around me. I in turn grabbed his arm and flipped him over my shoulder, where he landed on some burly guys table, which in turn started a fight amongst everyone in the bar and the funniest thing was the guy screaming like a little girl throughout the entire thing" Amber said laughing while Mikoto laughed lightly in response.

Sasuke shook his head before turning to see Ruby walking up to him.

"Hey big bro, how are you" Ruby said sweetly.

Sasuke just stared at her blankly for a moment ". . . What is Yang doing" Sasuke asked bluntly as Ruby let out a nervous laugh.

"What are you talking about, is it wrong for a little sister to talk to her favorite brother" Ruby said nervously while Sasuke just stared at her causing her to fidget under his gaze ". . She's doing something with the fireworks" Ruby caved as Sasuke let out a huff.

He got up from his seat, patting Ruby's head before heading off to find his wife before sets fire to, well, anything really.

Sasuke made it to the spot where they placed their fireworks to be set off as he didn't see Yang anywhere. Sasuke looked around the place before hearing some sticks breaking as he turned and face palmed at what came into the clearing.

It was Yang, carrying a five foot long colorful firework rocket.

Yang noticed Sasuke and stopped as the two locked eyes with one another "Okay, first let me explain" Yang said as he placed the rocket down.

"Why would you even want to buy- you know what, forget it" Sasuke said with a huff as he shook his head.

"Oh good, so does that mean-"

"No" Sasuke cut her off.

"Come on, just this once. This is a special one" Yang pleaded.

"I let you do this and next year you'll get a much bigger and possibly more dangerous rocket" Sasuke said crossing his arms.

"So you're letting me do this" Yang said with a smile.

"I said no such thing!" Sasuke shouted in frustration.

"Please, we have to end this year with a bang" Yang pleaded with teary eyes.

". . . For a second I thought you were going to say 'With a Yang'." Sasuke said dryly.

"I don't repeat old puns" Yang said simply

"Liar" Sasuke retorted as she'll use any pun for any situation if given the chance.

"Okay you have me there but come on, the year is almost over. It's now or never" Yang said strongly as Sasuke looked at Yang's unwavering gaze for a moment before letting out a sigh.

"It's not going to spiral out of control and set the forest on fire, is it?" Sasuke questioned as Yang beamed at him as she knew this meant yes.

"Of course not" Yang said as she grabbed the giant firework and set it in place.

Once she finish she checked the time to see that New Years was approaching them. She moved towards the panel portable panel to set off the fireworks as she began preparations.

"I never did ask, when did you learn how to do all this?" Sasuke inquired as Yang shrugged.

"I needed a hobby while raising the kids" Yang answered as she began counting down from ten and once she said one her fist came down onto a red button that began shooting fireworks into the sky.

Sasuke watched as the night sky was filled with various arrays of colors and symbols as he looked at Yang who had such a massive grin on her face. Sasuke's mouth twitched upward at the sight and before long all the normal fireworks were almost gone.

Sasuke looked back at Yang to see an excited look on her face as she set the timer and pressed the button as the fuse for the giant rocket was lit. The fuse slowly burned up as it entered the giant firework as Yang covered her ears. She stayed like that for a moment until she put her hands down as she looked angered.

"That son of- Did he sell me a faulty rocket because I'm going to-" Yang didn't finish that sentence as the rocket flew into the air with such force that it made the two of them take a step back.

Sasuke watched as the firework actually came apart as multiple rockets came out of the massive firework and began peppering the sky with new array of colors. Soon the firework died down until several flashes illuminated the sky as the symbols of everyone present was now in the sky high above.

". . ."

"It was amazing wasn't it" Yang said nudging him gently.

"Well it didn't burn down the place so that's good" Sasuke said amusingly as he began walking back to the others.

"Oh come on, that was amazing and you know it" Yang said with a pout as she followed him.

Sasuke let out a soft huff as he stopped and gave her a small smile "Happy New Years" Sasuke said as Yang blinked and smiled before she locked her arm with his.

"Happy New Years" Yang said as she placed a kiss on his cheek "But you still have to admit that it was pretty amazing" Yang said as Sasuke let out an amused scoff "Come on, say it" Yang said as the two began walking back to the others.

"Not happening" Sasuke retorted as the two began bickering playfully as Sasuke couldn't but think that any year is great with the family he has.

There you have it, the first update of the New Year. I hoped you all liked it.

And thank you all for coming along for the ride with this story all the way to the end.

I'll see you all later, have a great New Year.
