Ok so it looks like this is the final chapter in my story. Happy I was able to get two chapters up today. Thank you all who reviewed and reviews were appreciated. Thanks a lot! As well I'm planning another story if you want to read it. Look out for it and it should be a NaruSaku, and should have a much happier ending. Once again thanks!

Chapter 22: Epilogue

Yuuka listened as Sakura finished her story. She had to admit she almost cried at the end but she held it in.

"We had a funeral for him the next day", Sakura said sadly, "Everyone who came, and paid their respects. Even Gaara and Temari came. They both looked like wrecks in my opinion. The death of their brother hit them pretty hard. Gaara used the sand to create sort of a false arm. Anyway the funeral was pretty sad, and surprisingly a lot of people showed up to it. They even built him a memorial underneath the Hokage monument"

"So what happened to everyone else?" Yuuka asked, "You know your sensei and the rest of your friends"

"Well Kakashi passed away a couple years ago which hit me pretty hard. Ino and I remained good friends, but sort of split apart as the years went on. Tsunade passed away leaving Konohamaru as the new Hokage. He didn't want it, but knew Naruto would have wanted him to. My father was crippled by the attack which was really hard on us. He continued to try and work. My parent's were really supportive. Gaara was never the same after hearing of Naruto's death. He visited more often to pay his respects. We also sort of grew a nice friendship, and he and his sister did a lot of bonding. Temari and Shikamaru got together resulting in Shikamaru leaving the village a lot but Tsunade let him. Hinata is probably still recovering from the whole thing. The smaller villages became larger and more respected. All of the remaining jounin continued missions except for Kurenai. She just stayed home with her child and raised him into such a good ninja. The rest sort of moved on with their lives but they still remember him. Ever since the war there has never been a problem with war. It appears it scared so many and took so many lives people just stopped. We only have ninja now for escort and just in case stuff"

"How did we find so much out about the Akatsuki's battle plans, and how did you know the parts you weren't at?"

"Through Zetsu. Zetsu revealed all of his recordings from every battle allowing us to see what happened. There were also many battle reports from other villages and stories told"

"Can we go and visit his memorial?" Yuuka asked, "If you want to"

"Of course if you want to", Sakura said calmly taking a breath, "Just bring an umbrella. I just can't believe it hasn't stopped raining for all these years"

"I have an umbrella", Yuuka said, "Do you want one? If you don't have one already"

"I've gotten used to the rain dear", Sakura said smiling

The two left the office and began to walk down the pathways towards the Hokage monument. Yuuka looked around and noticed some of the places in the village that were in the story. The Hokage monument brought the memories back of what Sakura told her about Desidero and Kakashi. Sakura put her hand out stopping the young girl. She hadn't realized but right in front of her was a large stone statue of a ninja. It had letters written in the pedestal of the statue.

"A true friend and a true Hokage", Yuuka read silently, "I thought he wasn't the Hokage?"

"In everyone's hearts though he was", Sakura said calmly moving her hand across the lettering, "I really miss him, but I'm reaching the end in my life so soon I'll see him again"

"Hey don't say that you still have many good years left in you", Yuuka said smiling widely, "Maybe you can come over and have dinner with us!"

"I guess", Sakura said, "If your parent's let me"

"They will because my clan is known as the most generous clan in Konoha", Yuuka said smiling

Sakura

Yuuka and Sakura continued to be the best of friends for a very long time. Sakura would train the young girl for as long as she could. Yuuka became very well gifted in medical jutsu and other jutsu. Years continued to pass and pass, and Sakura continued to wait for the day.

Yuuka now twenty-eight walked up the stairs of Sakura's apartment and knocked on her door. There was no answer much to Yuuka's concern. Sakura was now about ninety-years old. Yuuka had a bad feeling and quickly created some hand signs and walked through the door without breaking it. She knocked on Sakura's bedroom door and called out and the woman didn't answer. She once again walked through the door and walked towards the bed.

"Baa-chan?" Yuuka asked shaking the old woman, "Baa-chan", Yuuka said tearing up a bit

Yuuka closed her eyes and allowed tears to fall freely as she hugged the woman she considered a grandma. Sakura Haruno age ninety had passed away. Yuuka wiped away her tears and looked down at her. She wasn't supposed to show emotion but it didn't matter. Yuuka decided it was best to quickly alert someone about her death so she could have a proper burial for a gifted shinobi. Yuuka silently left and quickly began to run to the current Hokage. The thing she thought about though was now that Sakura could see him again. That was the thing she was able to smile about.

Sakura

Sakura opened her eyes and looked around. She couldn't see anything at all. All of it was just pure whiteness. She rubbed her eyes, and looked around having a clearer view of everything. She was in a large field, flowers everywhere. To say it was a beautiful place would be an understatement. She looked down at herself and noticed she was about sixteen again. She suddenly felt a warm hand on her shoulder.

She turned to see the smile she forgotten and the blond hair that was as yellow as the sun. She felt tears stream down her face as she placed her head in his chest. Tear continued to stream down her face, and she felt unable to control them. She felt a soft hand rubbing her back. She looked up, and he wiped away her tears. She then closed her eyes as their lips met. They kissed passionately hoping it would never stop. She would never loose him again.

How was that for an ending? Pretty short I know but still it was happier then last chapter. I hope this makes up for killing off Naruto. If anyone wants an alt ending, I'll be happy to do it. I just need reviews telling me I should, or I probably will just go on with my next story. Thank you for reading and look out for next story thanks!
