The Akatsuki was all but defeated in the blast that shook Amegakure, save for two long time members, Kisame and Zetsu, who rallied with those still loyal to the organization, forming a front against Konoha. Three months after Konan's departure, the invading army marched on Konoha, destroying part of the village. Thanks to Konan's information, however, the insurgency was easily quashed by Konoha and Suna's joint forces, led by the young Sage, Uzumaki Naruto.

Some of the villagers viewed Konan as a hero, and others failed to see past her Akatsuki label, which caused some minor grief for the budding Hatake family, but didn't deter Kakashi from marrying Konan the within weeks of her leaving the hospital.

Konan gave birth to a boy while Kakashi was away fighting the insurrection, and Kakashi couldn't have been a prouder parent of the silver haired infant.
The former Angel of the Akatsuki regularly attended academy lectures, becoming a legal citizen of Konoha by the time her son was three, and to celebrate, the Hatake family had another son, who inherited his mothers blue hair.

Sasuke and team 'Hawk' used his newly acquired Mangekyo sharinga to survive the blast in Ame, and though they showed no allegiance to the Akatsuki, they proved to be a threat to the Konohagakure. Naruto swore to stop them, returning to Myobokuzan Mountain to continue his sage training, becoming a shinobi of legendary proportions in the process.

Tsunade offered Naruto the role of Hokage upon her retirement, but Naruto declined, citing his need to stop Sasuke as more important, instead suggesting a certain silver-haired sensei in his place.
After conferring with his wife, Kakashi accepted and Naruto went on to defeat the wayward Uchiha.


A/N: Seriously, this is it. No more. And no, I am not naming the kids, mostly because I want people to use their imagination, and partially because peole wouldn't understand the names I picked, and part of it is because I'd get people going 'why didn't you name it 'Jiraiya''.

The Japanese don't name their children after the dead, it's considered bad luck. It's part of the Shinto belief system, in which death equals impurity.

I want to write more of this pairing...and make it believeable. I think I'm addicted...
