"What did you say?" Hiruzen stood up from his seat as he could not believe the officer's words. Even at his young age, Shisui was strong enough to avoid getting killed by some average shinobi.
"U-Uchiha Shisui was found dead." The ANBU officer repeated himself.
Hiruzen walked to the officer and put his hand on the ANBU officer's shoulder. The officer looked at Hiruzen but, Hiruzen kept looking at the door in front of him with an unbreakable focus.
In a cold and scary voice, Hiruzen said, "Bring me every detail of what happened."
"Y-Yes, Hokage-Sama." the officer nodded and left the room as quickly as he could.
"*sigh* how could this happen...." Hiruzen sighed, turned around and looked at Konoha as he smoked.

-At the Konoha entry gate-
Yukan along with his students had come back from the mission safely.
Obito this time got off with some minor injuries and Kakashi's eyes were still alright. Even though Rin somehow was able to get kidnapped, the two boys were still fine, proving that Yukan is a better teacher.
"Hey, we are back. Is everything good here?" Yukan said as he greeted the gatekeepers. Both of them were with him while Yukan was in the academy.
"Hey, Yukan. Welcome back. We do know-"
"Oi, you're back? Come with me." Minato suddenly entered the frame and interrupted the speaker. He was in a hurry and spoke in a worried tone.
"Hey kids, sign on the register and go to your home. What's wrong suddenly, Minato?" Yukan asked as he started walking with Minato.
"Just come," Minato said as he kept his hand on Yukan's shoulder and teleported away from the gate.
"Hey, do you know what happened?" Obito asked Kakashi.
"In case you did not know, I was out of the village along with you," Kakashi answered.
Meanwhile, Minato brought Yukan to the hospital where Kozuki was admitted.
"Why did you bring me to the hospital?" Yukan asked.
"It's Kozuki. His party was ambushed. Kozuki is in critical condition right now. Other than fractures, there were five stab wounds and...." Minato explained Kozuki's health to Yukan.
Yukan took a seat by the time Minato finished speaking and tried gathering himself after listening to Kozuki's condition.
"He survived that?" Yukan asked.
"Seems like it. His condition is still critical though... Anyways, your student will be fine. Go home and meet Kushina once. I'm leaving now." Minato said as he disappeared from the hospital.

(A/N: A big timeskip. I wanna continue w the story. We've had quite a lot of chaps of rounding around which might or might not have ruined the story. I'm going to skip the marriage part too. I don't know much about Japanese weddings and since every religion gets married differently, I don't wanna write something that's wrong information)

-7 months later, Hokage's office-
"Are you sure about this?" Sakumo sat on the Hokage's seat wearing the Hokage's clothes and asked Yukan while throwing a bunch of sheets on the table.
"Umm, yes? That's why I gave you a 4-page essay." Yukan answered.
"How long of a break are you taking?" Sakumo asked. He leaned back on his chair and folded his arms.
"Hello, 4-page essay. I'm leaving for a long, long time and I hope that I don't become a shinobi again." Yukan said.
Sakumo sighed and put his hands on his head as he waved at Yukan to leave.
Within the seven months that passed, Yukan went on a few missions. The third ninja war ended completely with even more benefits than expected.
Yukan now wanted to spend a normal life with his child and Kushina peacefully. He wanted to be away from all the war and killing.
Five months ago, sometime after the third war's end, Sakumo was made the Hokage and Minato was made the ANBU commander while Yukan rejected both positions.
Some time ago, Kiyome had given birth to a boy and he was named 'Naruto'. Since it was Minato who was the father, there was no change in name.
Kushina was eight-plus months pregnant and was soon going to give birth.

-Yukan's house-
"You're back?" Kushina asked as she stood in front of the door, waiting for Yukan.
"Of course? I mean, you can see me so obviously I am here. What do you need?" Yukan asked.
"Ramen."
"....There are other edible things in this world too, you know?" Yukan said as he picked up a few things from the cabinet and wore his shoes again.
"Yeah, I don't care. I want ramen." Kushina answered as she was about to bend a little and adjust her sandals.
"Hey, no." Yukan quickly said as he knelt and adjusted her sandals for her.
Yukan then got up and held her hand as the two left the house to get themselves ramen.
As they walked out of the house, they met Minato and Kiyome walking out together.
"Hey..." Yukan wished them as he saw them coming from a distance.
"See, I told you. He's my brother and will always think about me first." Minato said lightly in Kiyome's ears.
"..If you two are out, is my cute nephew in alone? I need to babysit him as he is." Yukan continued.
Minato was petrified and emotional. Seeing his reaction, Kiyome spoke, "No, nice joke but, we're never going to leave him alone. Kakashi and Kozuki are playing with him inside so we two just left for a small walk."
"Oh, I see. How are you doing, sis-in-law?" Yukan asked with a smile after seeing the petrified Minato.
"I'm good, I'm good. Where were you two going?" Kiyome asked.
"We were going to eat some ramen. Do you guys wanna join?" Kushina asked.
"Hmm, of course. It's been a long since we all sat together and ate haha." Kiyome said.
And so, the whole Norio family went to eat ramen together and had a happy ending for the day.

-Kozuki's house-
The masked man sat on the recliner as he played with a kunai in his hands.
The two pawns of Madara sat together, discussing how to proceed with the dream of equality.
"So, how are we going to proceed? Madara-Sama has long been dead." Kozuki asked.
"I've got my ways for everything. I'll be making an appearance soon." The man said.
"I'll soon be making your life a living hell, Yukan Norio. You shouldn't have taken my possessions." The man said as he got up and looked out of the window and could see Yukan and family walking into the Ramen shop from a distance.
"Won't you get discovered if you are too near to him? I might know your identity because we work together but, you are still dead in the official records." Kozuki said as he worried about his comrade of his getting discovered.
"Oh don't worry. Masking chakra is an ability of mine." The man said as he turned around with his mangekyou Sharingan.
