The flashback ended and Twilight returned her attention back to reality, but something was different, every ninja and pony was crying. That is when it hit her like a ton of bricks, she had been narrating the flashback! She immediately felt bad and apologized to everyone who overheard it.

"It is quite alright," AJ said. "afterall, I'm the Element of Honesty. By me sayin' that everythin' is alright it is." Everyone agreed that everything was fine and Twi felt better, then when it was dead silent a conversation started between Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie that got everyone's attention.

"I thought I was the only pony capable of performing a Sonic Rainboom, what pushed you so far?" Rainbow asked in a mix of shock and confusion.

"Meanie hurt my Dashie, so I hurt meanie." Pinkie said, "I have been saving that move, and your Buccaneer Blaze, for....special situations...I considered this one since you got hurt. By the way, I call my moves the Sonic Sugarboom and the Partytime Blaze."

Dash started to protest "Now I have been in wor-...wait, you can do a Buccaneer Blaze as well!? Now THAT is defiantly 20% cooler! Ow my head..." She rubbed it with her hoof before continuing. "Now it might be the concussion talking, but since you put everything on the line for me, and performed a Sonic Rain-, excuse me, Sugarboom, it is time I come clean." Pinkie, and everyone else, looked at her confused. "what do you mean Dashie?"

Dash just smiled and got down on her fetlocks. "Pinkamena Diane Pie, will you marry me?"

Her face lit up like a firework. "YES I WILL! it took you long enough you silly filly, I could tell you feel in love with me since the Grand Galloping Gala."

At seeing this, Naruto summoned all his courage, "Well, I might as well get this over with." Naruto walked over to Hinata and proposed as well. Hinata blushed then quickly yelled "AT LONG LAST THE ANSWER IS YES!" Causing her dad to have a heart attack, who, thanks to Twilight and Sakura, was quickly revived.

It felt like a bombshell had been dropped. After that emotional story then this, everyone, especially the new couple's friends, stood there with their mouths agape, completely shocked as to what just took place. "A funeral needs to be planned and 2 new couples gonna have'a weddin'. I though' that only happened 'n da movies." AJ said shaking her head and softly chuckling, to which everyone agreed and followed suit in joining the laughter.

"Now, what happens next? Do we go back to Equestria or stay here for a bit?" Rarity asked.

"Kohona." Twi responded with slight sadness in her voice, which everyone and pony picked up on.

"Are you sure?" Lady Tsuande responded with a slightly arched eyebrow.

"Yes, I want to meet with Minato."

Naruto ran from Hinata up to Twilight and broke down crying, causing another wave of shock. Only a select few had actually seen the normally energetic prankster ninja cry so this was unusual behavior to most of them. "Twi...Minato, who was my father, sacrificed himself to save the village the day I was born. He and my mom sealed the Nine Tailed Fox in my body, which explains this..." He unzipped his jacket and lifted his shirt, and Twilight's eyes went wide.

"THAT IS A HIGH LEVEL SEALING JUTSU!" She exclaimed before calming down. "Well then, who is the new Hokage?" A slightly sour tone evident by way she glanced at the group of shinobi.

"I am." Tsuande replied in a calm voice, no anger or agrivation present.

"I'm sorry about the way I said that then, where are Obito and Rin then?" Twilight looked to Kakashi for the answer and she could tell it was not going to be one she wanted to hear.

Next it was Kakashi's turn to cry. "Rin, like Minato, committed suicide to save the Hidden Leaf Village and Obito committed suicide to save me and Naruto... We are the last ones of our team still alive...sis.."

Twilight lost it at the last part, crying into Kakashi's vest for a good 20 minutes while everyone gave her some much needed grieving time. Once, Shino was dumb enough to try and force the two apart, which earned an immediate stare from Fluttershy. Since the other ninja did not see what she did to the Kyuubi and Madara, the fact it made him look so weak scared everyone into taking a mental note to NEVER piss her off, shortly after is when Tsuande broke the silence.

"We all have had a long day, how about we go back to the Hidden Leaf Village?"

"Sounds good to me!" Everyone cheered. The whole time on the way back to the village, Kakashi, Naruto, and the Mane 6 stayed at the back of the group, getting to know each other better and for Kakashi and Twilight, time to catch up. At one point, Naruto pulled Twilight off to the side to have a private conversation with her after she questioned him about something she thought would help her learn. Little did they know an old friend turned enemy had been watching the whole time, the whole battle, the portal, the Elements fighting, even he cried at the flashback, and laughed at Shino...he saw everything.

"So, now I know how to make my old master and teammate break, and I just know how to pull it off...this is gonna be fun with two worlds to take over." At those words, he vanished into a cloud of purple and black haze.
