Epilogue

Two figures stood at a grave. There was a girl with straight black hair, brown eyes, and glasses and a boy with sand-colored hair, pink eyes, and a scar running down his face.

The boy spoke first. "Eisen. The Sandaime was killed in a battle. They will be deciding on the new Mizukage tomorrow. As expected, the strongest ninja in the village will be made Mizukage."

The girl looked at the boy and back at the stone. "I can't believe it's been two years since you passed Eisen. Don't worry. I haven't broken my promise."

The boy nodded. "We should be going." Then the two disappeared.

"Karatachi Yagura. As the strongest shinobi, you are the Yondaime Mizukage." The council elder handed Yagura the Mizukage hat. He put it on and turned towards the crowd of shinobi.

"From this day forward, the Bloody Mist Village ends here. We will work towards a better Hidden Mist." Everyone cheered. Reika looked up at Yagura and smiled. 'Can you see this Eisen? He did it.'

The next morning, in the Mizukage's office, Yagura was busy cleaning it and sorting through the papers. Now that he was Mizukage, he was going to make sure he stayed organized and settled matters quickly.

He began to read the next document when he felt arms wrap around him. A voice spoke from behind. "Do you want some help?" He turned his head to see Reika smiling at him.

"Don't be ridiculous. As Mizukage, I'll figure it out somehow." He pushed her arms away. "How many times have I told you to stop doing that?"

"Hai, hai, Mizukage-sama. Whatever you say." She gave him a cute look. Moving some papers aside, she sat down on his desk and picked up a nearby document, but Yagura snatched it from her hands. "I told you I'll do it myself."

"Okay no need to get angry." Yagura stood up and looked out the window. The mist was tinged with red as the sun began to rise. "Well, paperwork is the least of my worries right now. I need to put a stop to that first." He pointed to the academy. "I'm meeting with the council later today."

"That's great to hear." She jumped down and pecked him on the cheek. "Well I'll leave you to your duties, Yagura-sama." She winked and left the room.

'Well, I was going to ask her to keep me company, but I guess not.'

'Well she is your girlfriend. Maybe you should go run after her before she finds another man.'

'Oh, be quiet Isobu.' Although he seemed to disagree, Yagura chased after Reika.

As the door closed, the room became empty. Outside the window, the red mist disappeared as the sun fully entered the sky.

A/N

Thank you for reading this story completely! Or if you are skipping to the end to see if this is a story you would like, thanks for at least giving it a shot.

This was my first ever fanfiction, so it's not as polished as I would have liked, and there's always room for improvement. Writing it, though, was a lot of fun, and I'll be lying if I didn't say I was obsessed with writing until I finished it.

Sorry for all the spelling and grammar errors. I try my best to proofread everything I write.

Well, I hope you enjoyed it! This wraps up Clearing the Mist. Thanks to everyone who's read this.
