Epilogue:
The next few days passed rather uneventfully, except for the occasional celebration party that went out of control one way or another. Several sound nin were caught sneaking around and a few ANBU were lost, but, overall, there were negligible losses from the attempted war. With Orochimaru dead, It was discovered that the cursed seals mind-altering component was reduced, only increasing aggression and not giving the user a compulsion to serve its creator.
Naruto, however, was not having the best time. His fiancées were quite adamant, and he agreed with them, that he should not acquire any more girlfriends. Unfortunately, his display of his 'magic fingers' had given him a fan club on par with Sasuke's former fan club.
Tenten, being the only one of Naruto's girls who was not living with him, was pestering Naruto to get her another legendary weapon so that she could take their relationship to the next level with a clear conscience.
Hinata, Gaara, and Haku, after a few days of arguing, pushed the beds together so that they could all hold Naruto through the night. However, tension still rose over other issues concerning him. Fortunately, Gaara usually managed to come up with a logical solution and Haku was usually able to convince Hinata to follow it. None of the three would let Naruto have a say in the matter.
Itachi moved back into the Uchiha district with his brother, making sure the younger Uchiha went to his twice-weekly therapy and anger-management sessions. He no longer wore a mask, and no one bothered him about his past – the civilians being too afraid, and the ninja being too used to him.
Minato purchased a plot of land on the outskirts of the Uchiha estate with the plans of building a new clan compound. With as many wives as he would have, Minato was sure that Naruto would eventually need it.
Kurogane was still working on Naruto's new sword. It's completion was expected to take several more months, if not longer. He was now thinking of adding another blade for free and presenting it as a wedding gift, if he could complete it by then.
Baki returned to Suna and was elected as the interim Kazekage. He worked hard to rebuild trust between Suna and Konoha and was forced into many concessions, the greatest of which was the permanent transfer of the Sabaku clan to Konoha. The majority of Suna was just glad they no longer had to deal with an out of control jinchuuriki anymore.
Oto seemed to just disappear. It was assumed that with their army massacred and their leaders gone, the village had ceased to exist.
