Epilogue

It had been ten years since what happened in Konoha was spread throughout the elemental nation. Ten years of an estrange peace among the nations themselves after the gruesome details of the Leaf's demise by the hands of the now greatly feared and respected White Fox. Many villages and countries sought out the mysterious shinobi for various reasons.

Kumo, or what was left of its forces after what happened in Oto, sought revenge, but faced near annihilation and the death of their Raikage, A. After his death, Killer Bee realized that there was truly no way to stop this man, or demon if you asked Ame, and surrendered. The same with all of Kumo. They openly surrendered to the White Fox and pledged loyalty to him to avoid complete and total annihilation. Naruto decided to take them up on this offer and appointed Bee as the new Raikage that only answered to him. Yugito also answered to him and assisted Bee in keeping Kumo within good graces of the White Fox.

Kusa sought an answer for why he did what he did. True, they saw him as their own hero, but they still wished to know the truth. Seeing no ill will towards him, Naruto removed his mask and told them everything as himself, and to say they were shocked was an understatement. After much thought, all of Kusa still saw their savior as a hero who not only defeated Ame, but also wiped out all of Oto and Konoha within a week.

Ame was completely fear stricken by the White Fox and prayed that they would not garner his attention in any way. They lost almost half of their forces when he wiped Otogakure off the map and then heard of what he did to Konoha only less than a week later. They cut off all trade to any places aligned with their own personal version of Yami himself and prayed that he would leave them alone. Even Konan and and Pein, who still had no idea who the White Fox was at that time, were hesitant on his presence.

Speaking of Pein and Konan, after the destruction of both Oto and Konoha, the Akatsuki had started to make their move against the demon containers. They had kept silent since the location of Naruto Uzumaki was lost to everyone when he was banished all those years ago. With the destruction of Konoha, they all started to put the pieces together and figured out that the White Fox might know where the Kyuubi container was. All the members of the Akatsuki went in search of the White Fox and found him heading to Iwagakure for some reason or another. when they confronted him demanding that he tell them the location of the Kyuubi container, Naruto removed his mask to show them his true face. To say that they all were shocked that a former Konoha ninja wiped out all of Oto and Konoha itself was definitely a shock to them all. They all engaged him and one by one Naruto had defeated them all. He killed Hidan and Kakuza with ease, shattered Samehada with Akai Akuma and sliced Kisame in half downwards, shattered Sasori and the six paths into pieces, subdued Zetsu and later destroyed him, captured Deidara since they were so close to Iwagakure right now, defeated both the real Pain and Konan, same with Itachi and he subdued Tobi after the man tried and failed to use his sharingan to manipulate the blond. Naruto had listened to Pain and his reasoning for wanting to do what the Akatsuki were planning to do. He didn't like the idea, not one bit. Seeing as how he took out most of all the members, Naruto decided to spare the last three while taking Tobi's head. It came as a real shock to Itachi when he realized that 'Tobi' was really a formerly dead Uchiha named Obito. Naruto's reasoning for killing him, to send him straight to his now fully fallen team to grieve at what he had lost. The last three were confused as to why he would allow them to go free. That is until Naruto told them he wanted them to stop their own foolish dreams. Pain and Konan to stop their foolish dream of 'bringing peace' and for Itachi to realize that he was the true, last Uchiha and his village was nothing but ashes. Naruto left them with Deidara and went to Iwa to allow them to think about what they were to do now.

In Iwa, after Naruto defeated the Akatsuki, he donned his mask again and went into Iwa with an unconscious and subdued Deidara in tow. Onoki and Kurotsuchi, along with many high level Iwa nin, surrounded the White Fox until they saw that he had a missing nin of theirs. They relaxed when he told them he only wished for an alliance and Deidara was just a show of good faith. Onoki was skeptical in his old age while Kurotsuchi was amazed by the power that the White Fox possessed. Everyone was hesitant until Naruto took off his mask to show his real face. Everyone tensed and cursed when they saw his face and recognized him as their greatest enemy ever, until Naruto introduced himself to them, denouncing his fathers name. Even stating that his father's actions were the main reason why he burned Konoha to the ground in the first place. They were hesitant at first but later on decided that this boy, no, this man in front of them would bring their village to even greater heights.

Naruto later on went to Suna and revealed himself as the White Fox to his friend Gaara. After explaining everything to the container of the one tailed Tanuki, Gaara was easily convinced to ally Suna with Naruto.

Wave was next on Naruto's list. He was greeted by the people of Wave with open arms and friendly celebrations. He had offered an alliance with them as well as get the location of Uzushiogakure from Tazuna. He went to the ruins of his mother's homeland and found many things that only he could access because of his heritage. He found out about seals and that some of the village was actually sealed away and hidden underground for safety. Naruto brought those buildings back to the light and was surprised to see that a library and storage building full of clan techniques and the history of the once great Uzumaki clan. Naruto found many things on his people and even found a note from his mother Kushina. It was a letter to the first container of Kurama, Mito Uzumaki, explaining that she was afraid of going to Konoha. That she was hesitant about living with Minato and leaving Uzu to fend off their enemies without her help. And that she was fearful about what would happen if she had a child and had no choice but to transfer the Kyuubi into her/him. Naruto shed a tear at reading the letter and decided to make a true memorial stone to the fallen Uzumaki clan. He later on, with the help of the people of Wave, rebuilt Uzu. It didn't take much to convince his family to come to the former home of the Uzumaki clan.

After Naruto had successfully restored Uzushiogakura, word had spread about it all. Many loyal Uchiha warriors had returned to see if the rumors were indeed true or not. They were pleasantly surprised to see that it was and that an Uzumaki had restored it. They instantly saw Naruto as their leader and even wanted to make him the Uzukage of the village. Naruto refused the offer at first, stating that he only wanted to live his days with his family and among his homeland, but after some convincing from his family, he accepted the position. Everyone from the small village in Earth country migrated to their savor and moved into Uzu, causing a massive boom in the population. It was good for both Boruto and Akira to see some familiar faces after what had happened to them in Oto.

Speaking of Akira and Boruto, both Kurama, Naruto and even a few of the ninja who were loyal to the Uzumaki clan had started to train them and many others at the newly built Uzu ninja academy. Many children were learning about the ways of a ninja, history of the ninja and many techniques as well such as Fuinjuutsu. True, none of the kids were at the level both Boruto and Akira were at since they were actual Uzumaki's with a natural understanding of Fuinjuutsu, but that didn't mean everyone else was slacking off either. The two had grown since Oto.

Akira had learned that her Bijuu was a small, three tailed and purple fox with pure white eyes. This Bijuu was still growing inside of her as the years went on and now is at five tails as of right now. Akira could feel the power of her Bijuu, which was named Yuki because of her eyes, every time she would call for it. Yuki was surprisingly docile and kind to her container and was most helpful in teaching her many things outside of the academy.

Not to be outdone by his sister, Boruto had stepped up in his training. He was still the knuckle-headed and quick witted kid he always was, but he was one of the top ninja within the academy. He learned many things, including Kenjuutsu from his teachers and father, Fuinjuutsu from the family storage vault since he took a very keen interest in the art of sealing, and surprisingly enough genjuutsu from his mother. He became one of the best seal masters in Uzu in such a short amount of time that it came as no surprise that he would reach Chunin easily along with his sister. And just think of the horrible way he and Akira would've been treated if Naruto had went back to Konoha.

The remaining remnants of Konoha that Naruto spared were doing well now for the most part.

The Ichiraku's had set up shop within Kusa and were welcomed by many when they informed the people that they were among the one's loyal to Naruto. They were given permission to live in Kusa and continue serving their famous ramen to the people.

The original Ino-Shika-Cho were among the few that retired from the shinobi life, along with Shiki Aburame, Asuma and his wife Kurenai who now had a son, and surprisingly enough Guy since his eternal rival had done so before the destruction of Konoha. They had decided to live their lives in peace and were in various areas around the elemental nation.

Asuma and Kurenai along with their son had moved to the land of Spring along with the Konohamuru corp, who later on became body guards for the Daimyo herself.

The Original Ino-Shika-Cho and their wives had stayed together with what's left of their clan and went to North Water country.

Shiki Aburame and his clan along with Shino decided to head to Tanigakure and rebuild there.

Iruka had decided to try his hand at being an instructor at Suna. He was welcomed there in good graces since he was also one of Naruto's precious people.

Guy and Kakashi had decided to open up a taijuutsu school out in a small village not too far from Takigakure. It's a good thing that Kakashi dropped the mask, wore a bandanna around his sharingan eye and changed his hair color to black to draw in less attention. Guy changed his wardrobe but still went on about youth.

The last of the Konoha 12 stayed ninja to better themselves not just as ninja but as people.

Sakura had found her old sensei Tsunade along with Shizune out in Shimogakure where she convinced the broken woman to help the people in medicine. Sakura is now a full time medic that only does ninja work on the side as she helps wherever she is.

The current Ino-Shika-Cho trio had stayed together as well as become ninja in Kumo under Killer Bee. They have become a very powerful team for the still broken village and have been steadily building up a reputation for voluntarily doing grunt work to fix the problems of the village.

Lee, after leaving Guy-sensei on good terms, traveled to Kirigakure to work hard to live up to the new chance at life Naruto had given him.

Neji and Ten-Ten had stayed together and moved out to the village of Yugakure to raise their own children while also teaching at the academy there.

Kiba had stuck with his clan and they all became travelers seeking out a refuge to the West that used to house their clan long ago. From what most people can say, the Inuzuka clan was rebuilding and thriving in the chaos of the West.

It took a long while for Hinata to see that her crush, her love, her dream was now taken away from her, never to be reached ever again. After a few months of self grieving, Hinata decided to honor Naruto's last words in living her life for him. She stayed with the Hyuuga clan and they all left for South Water country. It was a good way to restart their lives and even with the death of their father, Hinata and Hanabi mourned the man he was and then started to rebuild the Hyuuga clan to the greatness it once was.

The last three members of the Akatsuki had went their separate ways, well Itachi did at least. The true last Uchiha had decided to do things for himself and for the future of his clan to survive. He moved around until he stumbled upon the reconstruction of Uzushiogakure. There, he found Naruto once again and pledged his loyalty to the Uzukage on the spot, nearly begging him for his forgiveness. Naruto accepted this but warned Itachi that the path to true redemption would be a hard a grueling one. Itachi took heed of those words and hasn't regretted his decision ever since. Konan and Pein had left Ame with the sickly Nagato and just traveled around the elemental nation, helping people anytime they could and starting over like they were told. Nagato had no hatred for Naruto or what the blond had done to his plans for peace, but he regretted never truly thanking the man for giving him this second chance. The three would continue to travel together for the rest of their days.

Currently, Naruto was sitting at his desk in the Uzukage's office sifting through paperwork right now. The village had been thriving with all the various alliances and trading that they had all around. Word got out that Uzu was back and many people came seeking aid on missions one after the other, meaning that they were financially stable as well. Naruto got finished stamping the last of his paperwork and leaned back in his chair sighing.

"Finally finished." He said to himself as he looked out to the village of his mother. "You would've been real proud mom. I know you would've."

Before he could turn in for the day, two jounin and a tall purple fox with six tails appeared in the office via Shunshin. Boruto, who had gotten taller and was wearing a standard Uzu headband and his classic black cargo pants and orange coat over a black shirt, and Akira, wearing an orange and red battle kimono with the Uzumaki swirl on the back, stood before their father.

"Hey Otou-san." Boruto said to his father while Akira smiled at her brothers antics. "Just came to say that mom's gettin dinner ready and told us to remind you that its your favorite."

Naruto had a glimmer in his eyes at the thought of that ramen in his mouth and stood up quickly. "Well what are we waitin for? Let's go!" He said in an excited tone that caused both his kids and The tall fox Bijuu to laugh at him. They all left out the front door and left the office behind.

It was a beautiful day in the village, but inside of Naruto's office, just hanging on the wall adjacent to the window overlooking the village, was the one thing that was the cause of all this change. The one thing that will exist as long as ninja exist and evil shows up once more to disrupt the peace. And that thing was the mask of the White Fox. It's legacy and bloody reputation is what will be both remembered and feared no matter how long time has passed.

The White Fox shall always be remembered.

Done. And that's that for my first Naruto story. I hope I got some of the characters and their own problems right since I don't really watch the show or read the manga. If I screwed up in some way, the just chill cause the stories over now. I might do another Naruto story, I don't really know. Right now my main thing is finishing up all the ridiculous amount of stories I need to finish up. Thanks for the love and support of this story and check any of my other stories, I have way to much at the moment.

Stay sexy out there ya'll.

PEACE!
