Chapter 22: Sands of time Finale
! - ! - !
This is it, the last chapter in this story, but don’t worry, I have a sequel (Already posted) named Future Tense that is a continuation of this story. And if your wondering, it’s going to be set in the future (There was no way in hell I was going to let go of a story premise this good). So don’t worry, I have big plans for Sasuke, Naruto and Konohamaru. Heh heh.
! - ! - !
And if your wondering, they wont appear in this chapter for this story. And sorry for the shortness.

“Talk about bad weather.” Future Iruka said, standing back idle with Future Kakashi while every one else talked.
“Ironic.” Future Kakashi sighed “I spent 2 days storm proofing and a fox was what destroyed my house.”
! -
It came unannounced
This feeling I feel for you
! -
“You can stay with me.” Iruka offered.
“I already stay with you.” Kakashi said.
! - ! - !
“Is it dead?” Konohamaru asked, apprehensively edging near the fox to touch it.
! -
It came unannounced
This feeling I feel for you
! -
“No.” Past Kakashi said firmly, watching Konohamaru jump back a little. He feared death but after seeing what the Kyuubi could do, Konohamaru feared it more. Especially since blood was seeping up through it’s fur, that bomb had really did a thorough job.
!-
I had to know
Was it love you felt too
! -
“I guess you have to get it back to the past now huh?” Gai asked, knelling beside the Nine-tails and watching the legendary fox. To think, all of the power they had in the past and the future was able to do this much with just one simple missile.
! -
Not through your words
But the way that you looked at me
! -
Truly ammunition was the anti-Jutsu, and the weapons used to fire them had to be the Anti-Chakra.
!-
Told me just how
How much you really care
!-
Gaara began concentrating, creating another perfect sand Hour glass in front of him. It was much easier now that he’d learned the technique to it. “Naruto.” Gaara looked down at the boy standing at his side.
! -
So don't you try and hide your feelings
Cause it's so very plain to see
! -
“Huh?”
“No more moving through time.”
! -
I can see forever
Forever in you eyes
! -
Naruto nodded “Yeah.”
“Nothing but bad things have come out of it.” Gaara said decidedly.
! -
Just let your heart faithfully guide you
Guide you to love infinity
I can see forever
Forever in your eyes
! -
“No.” Lee objected. “That’s not true.” Being the optimist who looked on the positive side all of the time, he was easily able to see the good in this. “If we had never done this, none of us would be together, none of us would be as happy as we are now.”
!-
Here we are
Baby the time is right
! -
Lee looked around the city of Konoha, his eyes tracing along the wet streets where street and traffic lights reflected off of. The different patterns of lights shining through the buildings of skyscrapers, towers and homes. The flow of head and tail lights from the cars traveling along the road, all of it painting an amazing picture better then any other. Being at one of the highest points in Konoha he could see all of this easily.
! -
Now there's no doubt
What we feel is right
!-
“And look at Konoha, this place would have never turned out this prosperous if we wouldn’t have caused this storm.” Lee said, wiping the rain from his eyes.
! -
So just say the word
Cause I'm in it much too deep
! -
“How do you cause a storm?” Gai asked.
!-
To turn away
So please say you'll stay
! -
Shikamaru looked at him, “Sending massive amounts of Chakra in to the air caused a storm to form 12 years later.” Gai could only help but think that Shikamaru’s long version explanation would bring up a lot more questions, but he refined from asking them for the moment.
!-
So don't you try and hide your feelings
Cause it's so very plain to see
I can see forever
Forever in you eyes
!-
“Everything may have seemed bad at the time, but in the long run all of it turned out good for everyone.” Lee said.
!-
Just let your heart faithfully guide you
Guide you to love infinity
! -
Shikamaru folded his arms and watched Lee, his mind couldn’t help but wonder back in time
~
“It’s dangerous to go back in to the past, changing the smallest thing could set off a horrible chain reaction.” Shikamaru said,
!-
I can see forever
Forever in your eyes
!-
“But it could also change the world for the better! doing one thing could save a lot of people.” Lee replied, sitting up and looked down at Shikamaru who now was looking up at him.
~
“Maybe he was right.” Shikamaru mumbled to himself, watching Lee admire everything around him.
!-
Girl I wanna hold ya
Your head on my shoulder
With you I'll never tire
We'll take it higher and higher
!-
“We have to get the Nine-Tails back before it wakes up.” Kakashi said. “So we need to leave now.”
Everyone nodded, Sasuke, Konohamaru, Neji, Kiba, and Iruka moved near Gaara. “Hey Lee, Shikamaru.” Naruto called. “Come on, Are you guys coming or what?”
! -
Girl I wanna hold ya
Your head on my shoulder
With you I'll never tire
We'll take it higher and higher
! -
Shikamaru got out of his thoughts and started walking over toward the group.
“…I want to stay here.” Lee said decidedly.
“What? Really?” Naruto asked. “I don’t blame you.”
! -
I'll never hurt you baby
I'll never be untrue
All my hopes and dreams
Are realized in you
!-
Gaara shrugged “Fine with me, but you do know this will most likely be permanent.”
Lee nodded, “Yeah, I’m alright with that.”
Shikamaru sighed. “I guess I have to stay behind too.” He walked over to Lee, clearly wanting to stay in the first place. He wasn’t entirely sure if he wanted to make this permanent, but if Lee was going to stay, he was going to stay with him. Uncertainty aside, there wasn’t any place he wouldn’t follow Lee, given the right prompting.
!-
I'll never leave you sugar
I'll never leave your side
Our love is here forever
I can see it in your eyes
!-
“Alright, see ya guys.” Kiba said. “Maybe I’ll bury a note or something, see if it reaches you.”
“Alright.” Lee said. “I’ll look for it.” Lee’s eyes drifted over to Neji, who watched him with an characteristic melancholy.
!-
Girl I wanna hold ya
Your head on my shoulder
With you I'll never tire
We'll take it higher and higher
!-
“Good luck.” He said, turning away and watching the Nine-Tails.
Lee knew it was hard for Neji to stay something like that to him. “Well…it’s been fun.” He was directing that more towards his now former rival then towards anyone else. If it wasn’t for Neji he wouldn’t be as strong as he was now, striving to be better then him managed to give him resilience. Just like Gai said it would, having a rival did help him in more ways then one.
Gaara started spinning the hourglass, and just like that they faded as if they were never there.
Was left Lee watching the spot where they had been. “Goodbye guys.”
